If the people-hoard-because-of-deflation camp is correct, we should start seeing more people spending their bitcoins, right? Or do people hoard their bitcoins when the value is rising and then just sell them when value goes down?  |

I bought some things with bitcoins when it was over $25. It was a great decission. |

We were getting 6 or 7 orders a day when btc was trading in that range. Now it's more like 1 or 2. Glad I didn't quit my job. |

I doubt it. I'm more inclined to hold my BTC while bitcoins have experienced recent rapid devaluations.

You can still buy alpaca socks for 2.5 BTC. And at $11/BTC, they might be worth it.

Clearly you have never worn alpaca socks... Only losers wear socks made of polysaturatedurethanebyproducts |

The kind of looser that loves *REALLY* soft, warm socks that keep your feet from freezing even in the Antarctic winter.  I don't have any alpaca socks, but do have alpaca gloves, knit hat, and living room rug. Alpacas were bred in the Andes; alpaca is IMHO warmer and softer than any sheepskin or wool. (Although I've got an Irish wool sweater that's close.) I just placed my first bid for bitcoins on Mt. Gox. Once I've acquired some, I might well buy a pair of socks. |

In Peru you can get the same socks for 1-2 USD. I'm with you. |

Selling socks isn't exactly my dream. Also, that's exactly what dozens/hundreds of other people are doing. |

In Peru you can get the same socks for 1-2 USD. I'm with you. Sure, but you first have to find somebody to sell them to you. If they're online, they'll charge more. If they aren't, you'll pay to contact them. Then you have to pay for shipping/handling from Peru, which isn't cheap either. $20 for a pair of socks is expensive, no question about it. But if the socks are anything like the other knitted alpaca items I own, you'll love them. So why not negotiate with the seller? (Or, for that matter, get a quote in $ USD -- if it's cheaper that way, you can buy that way.) |
