    Business Raising money via Bitcoin markets

    Anyone have experience in this? IPO? Interested in sharing positive/negatives?
    With great power, comes great responsibility.

    Pros
    - Can't be chargedback
    - Buy cheap and sell when price goes high
    - Faster and easier than PayPal.
    - $100 Worth of Bitcoins equal to roughly $125 PayPal or in hand cash.
    - Pretty easy to implement
    - Many web hosting companies and domain providers no accept Bitcoins so you can remain 100% anonymous when making a purchase.

    Cons
    - Prices can fall down
    - You do not know who made a transaction on the site unless you use something like Bitpay
    - If you lose access to your computer wallet then Bitcoins can never be recovered
    - If you are using an online wallet then you still have ways to get the account back however if the company/website gets shut down then you lose your Bitcoins.
    - PayPal does not offer protection on Bitcoins
    - Bitcoins are disallowed in very few countries (Columbia, and India).
    - Not many porn addicts use Bitcoins even though they know what it is. Reason being is that most porn addicts aren't people who invest in currencies, etc.
