One can only hope.

Not much proof in your link though.

Feel like investing in a Miner?:

Should be easy for many people here.

Why does Bitrebel have 65+ Ignores?
Because Bitrebel says things that some people do not want YOU to hear.

If Paypal is using users money for other things, than yes ... it can become a bubble.
anyway, there is another possibility ... are they going to release a database of accounts?

you're right, I was using Gay in the sophomoric slang sense of a generic insult.  I have no problem with homosexuals, especially if they like bitcoin.  To compare homosexuals to paypal would be an insult to homosexuals.  Sorry to any offended homosexuals out there.

I cringe every time i hear people say "gay" as a synonym for "bad". It is insensitive at best, reinforcing hate at worst.

Not long ago, people would say things like:
Quote from: Mr. Burns (Simpsons)
It was a gay party.... Boy we ate a lot of wieners that day!

It appalls me that (yet another) word has evolved to have two opposite meanings.. like inflammable.
