can't withdraw USD from gox = BITCOIN up!
I love how the fiat system is so broken that it takes so long to send from one country to another and bitcoin is instant.
bwahahahahahahahhaha
in another post i referred to an analogy about bitcoin being a formula 1 racecar, running its rounds at record speed, but is not allowed to leave the race track. and if the fuel runs low and you need to fill up - that is the moment you realize that there is no gas at the race track. you need to have it shipped (banks, fiat...), so you do. and when it finally gets there you realize that it was shipped using a donkey cart.
the banking system evolved in 15/16th century italy. it allowed merchants to not physically carry gold around all the time. it is basically a several 100 year old technology.
any bitcoin economy will outpace this old-fashioned technology; the coins run through any circle so much faster than fiat.
bitcoiners experience it every day. non-bitcoiners can´t even imagine.
