In other words "Would you use other people's money to play slot machines"

Yes, as long as I had the money to pay the bill ahead of time. This would be a lot more convenient than using Dwolla to xfer money from my bank account first and then xfer to trading site.

This.  And that would be the only time to use it, IMO.

By the way, this was possible last year on MtGox and Bitcoingateway.com but was stopped afterwards. On mTGox, due to credit card fraud because of the reversible nature of credit cards

You bet ya on the overall growth of bitcoin far out ways the interest charged by the cc mob. Being injured and screwed over from working I have an attitude of why not its only fake money I owe credit cards for anyway. Its a win win situation they either get their money back from me or get it from how ever they work the system on defaults at the end of the day the books get balanced.

It's a really bad idea to borrow money for investments.  If you don't have the cash to invest.....your financial situation needs more than just bitcoins to help it.

I have found myself, twice in my lifetime, almost incapacitated financially due to debt.  Luckily, I've never had to go BK, and was able to pay off one occurrence and am still working on the second (more than half way done).

The only way I would use a credit card to purchase bitcoins is if it was a secured credit card and I had already paid the money.

For now. Also accepting credit cards means accepting debit cards too.

100% of the reason cc's aren't accepted is because of chargebacks and the use of stolen credit cards

What bitcoin really needs is the ability to easily convert from USD (or other currency) to BTC quickly and without the possibility of chargebacks.

Dwolla is fine and good but it take 5-7 days to get that whole process rolling. If that was reduced down to maybe 2 days MAX then I think there would be more people willing to go through the effort.

Kudos to you for stepping up like a man (or a woman I don't know you) and paying your debts rather than walking away.

If you can do CC transactions you can do Debit Card transactions right?

Yes I would, and then e-mail to VISA / MASTERCARD that I used their cc to fund my bitcoin account to donate to Wikileaks Smiley

Credit card, no.
