Bitcoin is not real payment method for me. Too slow, and too expensive transactions and/or prices for buying real goods.
Bitcoins is good for trading at exchanges only.
Want a bet? I just bought a whole shitload of stuff on Overstock a lot cheaper than if I used dollars. It's called waiting for the swings. Just because you guys don't know how to use Bitcoin for your own good doesn't mean the rest of us don't. Assuming we are all as clueless as some of you are is your first mistake. Noticing your GLDCoin and Bitcoin referral links under your name should prove my point.
And a currency cannot operate like that. People are not going to wait on price swings when they need food, gas, water, or to pay their mortgage/rent and utility bills.
Not to mention what you did is really no different than day trading over at BTC-e.
