Can you actually buy anything legitimate with BTC yet?
When I was last involved (2 years ago), the entire economy seemed to be an amusing dance between get rich quick miners / speculators and a relative handful of early adopters and pool operators siphoning cash off of the former.
- jerguismi 14y agoIt is a certain hippie thing trying to get bitcoin accepted directly, but the exchanging process is getting better, faster and easier all the time so I don't know how much would it matter... If bitcoin is really easy to liquiditate to usable currencies, it doesn't matter that much if the purchase happens with bitcoin or with conversion process. (example: polish anonymous debit card)
- nym 14y agoYES! There will be a big "Bitcoin Friday" sale on Nov 9th. http://bitcoinfriday.com/ http://bitcoinfriday.com/ Cups and Cakes Bakery in SF will be participating as well.
- jamoes 14y agoCheck out https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade to see a long list of pretty much all the services that allow you to trade in bitcoins. My personal favorites: http://bitmit.net http://bitmit.net - an auction site that allows you to buy and sell goods with bitcoins. http://coindl.com http://coindl.com - Download digtal files, and pay the content creator in bicoins. Many downloads have "pay as much as you want" pricing. These micro-transactions are only really possible with bitcoin. Bitcoin Magazine - There is so much drama in the bitcoin world, and they do a great job of summarizing it and making it fun to read about.
