heh this is funny to me (though i'm sorry for you, i don't mean to rub it in) only because when i suggested dollar-backed or gold-backed bitcoin a lot of people made fun of me saying "oh it's been done & it was corrupted" "mannnnn" "original sin" "blahhhhhh"
but.... whos to say the Bitcoin exchanges are better at banking than traditional banking industries? I understand they represent individual points of failure in the ecosystem, but soooooooo many users have gotten screwed by them thus far.
- csmuk 13y agoThat's ok. I think it's funny too. It was a quick purchase of a couple of bitcoins to see what the fuss was about. They've just sat in my wallet for a period of time. They're better than the banking industry already (I've worked in it and can attest to how bad it is) but then again so is Jimmy Saville...
