I don`t want to sound offensive but the complete Bitcoin system has to show in the future that it is more than a snowballing-system with a wide range for price fluctuations. and US Dollars has never been used for illegals ways right?  | ||

It's about bragging rights, and all it's going to show is who is better at a terrible match-up on that particular day. psht, everybody likes a +8000$ day more than bragging rights | ||

I don't think you can use Bitcoin to buy anything, but I could be completely wrong. I'm still mind blown you can actually "mine" them on your PC if you so chose. | ||

It's acting like gold though - it's going back to that old-school method of defining currency, and has all the problems (deflation, volatility, etc.) of not actually being a modern currency. Accepting payment in Bitcoins is like accepting in gold - not really that stupid, I guess. But I can't see it displacing "paper money" currencies that are actually engineered to act like currencies "should" in everyday life. Though, I feel retarded for saying a while ago "this is stupid, it'll never behave like a good currency because of deflation" and then not actually realizing "omg that means I should buy a ton of it right now!" | ||

But do you actually pay with bitcoin (as in a tesla S is x bitcoin) or do you convert your bitcoin into USD and pay like that? I mean, I'm under the impression its the first way and then its no different from a guy buying a car with AOL stock in '99. I'm as much prize money the players can get, but you practically have no idea what they're playing for here and neither have they. | ||

It's an old tale, the volatility of financial markets. I need to research bitcoin more. The ACTUAL bitcoin. Apparently you can physically mine them on your own PC? Is it gold? I don't understand. Gold has many applications through technology that helps drive the value, it's not because it's shiny.  | ||
