        So explain to us what the fuck is bitcoin and how do you use them?

        I can understand how easy it must be to buy them, but how the fuck would you cash them out?

        Me thinks you buy a lot of bitcoin on a suspicious site and when you want to cash them out you cant.

                The time to buy was a week or two ago when the value was half of what it is today.

                I "bought in" (mined) when BTC was worth a few bucks. Cashed out a few days ago at $46 per.

                  Dude, compared to what it will be in the future 46 dollars is a joke. Now is the time to buy. Not to sell.

                    The way search and seizure laws are going and the government wanting access to all of our banking information, I can kind of see it.

                    Do you guys use the instawallet or a downloaded one? My wallet on my pc is about 100 days behind.

                    Just checked out the instawallet. Just an open url where you can transfer the coins off. Not the type of place where you want to store alot of bitcoins.

                      Your own wallet ofcourse. Why put your money on someone else's computer?

                            Bitcoins, hahaha. I just put all my money in wicker futures. With the expected boom in patio furniture and the stable basket market it's a much better investment.

                            .

                              Real cash (in people pockets) ==> Bitcoins (low value) ==> Lots of Real cash IN ==> Bitcoins (high value) ==> People (lots of them) selling them for Real cash ==> Bitcoins (record low)

                                    I don't recall saying that but maybe i did...if i did it was because i didn't know the details. I thought it was just another epass or e-gold.

                                    It obviously isn't.
                                    By this time next year lots of big companies will be using it. In 5 to 10 years from now you'll be very happy with all the bitcoins you saved up.

                                        A currency and payment system in one that can be totally anonymous and free of chargeback problems. Yes sounds horrible.

                                            The value of bitcoins goes up and down like a hookers panties. That is pretty scary from the business aspect. What happens when you pay for something when its at 50$ and the next day its at $40. Your business just lost 20%.

                                              companies like Bitpay.com will convert the bitcoins to cash right away if you use their service. They will deposit the money in your account daily I believe. You can also choose to keep the bitcoins or do a % split.

                                                I can understand how easy it must be to buy them, but how the fuck would you cash them out?

                                                Me thinks you buy a lot of bitcoin on a suspicious site and when you want to cash them out you cant.
                                                First you would want to get yourself a bitcoin wallet. You can get an online one at http://blockchain.info

                                                You will get a funny looking address like 1k2384kjsdkdsj234838298237

                                                Thats the address you give to people that want to send you bitcoins. Thats all you need to do.

                                                Actually buying them is a more of a pain than selling them. You can't use credit cards or paypal to buy them. I use Coinbase.com to buy them

                                                  I only use them for Silk Road....but I did buy a lot of them when they were around $9/each and I had a bunch saved in my SR wallet and some in my bitcoin wallet that I sold for around $40 which rocked.

                                                  It's also great that Namecheap now accepts them so I've renewed a bunch of domains with bitcoins too.

                                                    You must be confused. It only goes up

                                                    And it will keep doing this.

                                                      And what exactly are you buying on Silkroad

                                                      Nothing illegal ofcourse, right. Oh wait, everything there is illegal

                                                        If you follow the actual flow. Yes it has gone up since the beginning it has gone up. But I watched last week when it went from 50 to 37 to 44 all in the matter of 20 minutes.

                                                          Anyone have or ordered an ASIC mining rig? As far as trading bitcoin, mtgox.com seems to be popular and by end of month US trades will be handled by VC backed coinlab.com in US.

                                                            I don't care about that. I see it as a long term investment. 5+ years.

                                                            How it fluctuates now is not important. 5 years from now you will laugh at these prices. I means nothing in the bigger picture.

                                                              I had a similar conclusion so I sunk some money in bitcoins. Just in case it goes global and nuts.

Some of them have (or HAD) tens or hundreds of thousands of BTC mined by a standard CPU, no need for fancy multi-GPU or ASIC rigs back then.

Short term, I do see it working out for a while. Long term has too many odds stacked against it. However, only time will tell.

                                                                                        If the USA bans bitcoin it still won't stop it. The whole world would have to agree to make it illegal and that still won't stop bitcoin

                                                                                        Bitcoin is just like file sharing. Hard to stop

                                                                                                  Another thing to consider is that anything with a tightly limited supply is easily manipulated.
