Bitcoin is not money, and not accepted
I have purchased more things with bitcoin than I have with gold. I don't know a single place that would accept gold as payment. Gold accept, black and white and yellow people, bitcoin nobody. wat?

He may be trolling, but its always good to interpret the trollisms... Yes, igorr, is correct in his argument. Gold is universal and accepted by everybody. Bitcoin is not, yet. It is however spreading and the longer it goes without being cracked, the stronger it becomes (both network / protocol and as money). Without getting into the economic debates of gold v bitcoin, we may just be able to have an 'Igorr' type indicator: each year or month, how much closer is bitcoin to mainstream acceptance?

I have purchased more things with bitcoin than I have with gold. I don't know a single place that would accept gold as payment. There are more places that accept Bitcoin then there places that accept gold or silver as payment. Same here as I've purchased more things with Bitcoin than with either metal.

He didn't say that exactly. He said the free market developing alternatives to state-run money is wonderful, not Bitcoin itself. Still: look how far we've come. Metal blockheads like Maloney speaks positively about Bitcoin. Completely unthinkable just a year ago. I remember how excited I was when James Turk came around and I'm glad Bitcoin is now well-talked about in the precious metal / sound money community.

Just the thought of this makes me so bullish on bitcoin that I can't see straight. The eBay/paypal news is nothing compared to what the Europeans are about to pull

remember that video on Tim Geithner a coupla weeks back? well, here's more: Geithner also misleads the reader about the single most important moment of the crisis: when Goldman got bailed out through Federal Reserve loans to AIG. This mattered because it was when the public really began taking over the debts of the financial system, and it’s well documented in the Congressional Oversight Report of June 2010. When AIG was on the verge of going under, exposing every big bank that had bought insurance from them, Geithner had a choice. He could force big banks to share the losses or just bail them out. He chose the bailout. Rather than forcing Goldman and JP Morgan to share in AIG’s loss, to which they were heavily exposed, Geithner took 100 percent of the liability on the New York Fed’s balance sheet. Then, in November of 2008, the Fed bought back underlying securities from Goldman, at par, despite their trading at 50 cents on the dollar. This was a massive funneling of resources to Goldman in particular.http://www.vice.com/read/tim-geithner-and-the-con-artist-wing-of-the-democratic-party

Let's not forget this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/billfrezza/2013/10/15/the-international-monetary-fund-lays-the-groundwork-for-global-wealth-confiscation/“The sharp deterioration of the public finances in many countries has revived interest in a “capital levy”— a one-off tax on private wealth—as an exceptional measure to restore debt sustainability. The appeal is that such a tax, if it is implemented before avoidance is possible and there is a belief that it will never be repeated, does not distort behavior (and may be seen by some as fair). … The conditions for success are strong, but also need to be weighed against the risks of the alternatives, which include repudiating public debt or inflating it away. … The tax rates needed to bring down public debt to precrisis levels, moreover, are sizable: reducing debt ratios to end-2007 levels would require (for a sample of 15 euro area countries) a tax rate of about 10 percent on households with positive net wealth. (page 49)” They're going to either steal it directly (and suddenly!), or indirectly through inflation. Bitcoin is the exit.

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.
