' Bingo. It's not going to be hackers that destroy bitcoin, it will be world governments. Printing presses are powerful weapons. Do you really think the US Congress or the EU is going to allow a "digital currency" to undermine their power? They would regulate bitcoin out of...

It's all relative to where you (or a hypothetical investor) bought in.

LOL, you think the US government is going to sit back and give up their world reserve status..... Now that's funny :D

So, for someone that isn't really following..... is this whole Bitcoin thing falling apart now?

Well, there's not going to be a BTC bailout, so you're talking apples and oranges.

Raise minimum wage.... don't raise minimum wage. It really makes no difference. Those that are in minimum wage jobs are the most affected by the price inflation that will result. It's a net of zero, IMO. It may push out some weak hands... aka crappy, low profit, fast food chains, in favor...

Democrats are purposely trying to enlarge the dependent class so they can increase their voting base.

I think we bounce from here for a week or more, but can't say after that

It's really simple.... go to www.oanda.com and have your credit card handy. You can be trading within 24 hours.

This is true. I am an owner/operator in a low per-employee profit margin business (service sector). The government currently subsidizes much of our workforce. The wages we pay are in line with industry standards. If you are a high school or college student, it's pretty amazing money. If...

They need to raise the minimum wage to say $8.50 and then index it to inflation. Dems never want to index it to inflation because it would take one of their best political issues off the table, but if we determined what the right minimum wage was and then indexed it ala COLA it would seem to...

Correct. There is a very long list of acceptable documents that meet their criteria for proof of residence.

If anyone thinks that the issuers of currency are going to sit back and give up their monopolies, you're nuts. Governments are going to use any excuse to crack down and regulate bitcoin out of existence.

All the credit for the fact that the market has doubled since March 2009 should go directly to the Fed.

I have no dog in this fight, but I feel like the people that can print currency with the touch of a keystroke are not going to give up their monopoly that easy. At some point, the US, EU and others will start "regulating" bitcoin for the "safety of the public".

I would say attempting to purposefully get fired, so that you can receive welfare from the tax payers and employers of this country while you try your hand at trading, is very worthy of attack. That's pretty despicable.

This site has some serious security problems now

The biggest question is obviously how well prepared for this move are you financially? It's no different than trying to start a McDonald's franchise or start a flipping houses full time. Obviously you need capital to trade..... Living expenses...... Capital for hard expenses (computer...

Maybe ET could keep bitcoin posts off the front page, like the politcal, chitchat sections, etc

Peil, why don't you and a few of the other Bitcoin crazed ET members create your own bitcoin website/forum? I don't want to pull up the ET front page and see that 70% of the posts are regarding bitcoin and created by 2-3 bitcoin lovers.
