- mxxx 14y agommm, it's a little hard to get excited when it's pretty much 99% junk. still, spose ebay started that way too.
- michaelbuckbee 14y agoAs someone who has only looked at Bitcoin from the outside, it nonetheless hits many of my personal interests: currency arbitrage, encryption, digital ventures, security, etc. So, I'm interested in outcomes of Bitcoin. Ebay has all sorts of restrictions on what you can post and bid on, will a market emerge for (as others noted) OJ's book, transplant kidneys and illegal publications? On a less lurid scale the site _has_ to do some serious work and thought around fraud, transactions and reputation in anonymous settings, work I'd like to take lessons from.
