There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I'm done, I can't watch bloomberg with that lag. I already lost 3x the time I spent trying to watch those videos.

Do they share the same mtgox's servers or what?

Bloomberg should halt streaming.  Cool

Richard is a douche-bag.

Quote
"Richard, from a security standpoint, or perhaps even a business standpoint, is there enough transparency into the world of bitcoins?"

"No, it's got law enforcement very concerned about this. ... drugs, blah blah blah, money laundering blah blah blah ..."

Way to not answer the question and to spout some FUD instead.

Can I who live in Europe buy pizza from pizzaforcoins? Also it's not practical with the skyrocket fees to buy anything from bitcoinstore so my chances of buying anything with Bitcoin are pretty slim..

Yeah still I can buy domain names from Namecheap, I can buy from wordpress although I don't need their services...
though 9flats seems interesting.

Bitcoin can't progress and do world-domination from day 1. We take it in steps...
Otherwise tell me where do I buy my food with Bitcoin in Sweden?
There may still be hope for the 1st decentralized cryptocurrency which is Bitcoin. How to approach different subjects is key to progress.
