The fraud risk is the difference. You can reverse a trade or seize the stocks from fraud however you can not reverse a bitcoin purchase.

Maybe a walmartcoin then. Nothing like buying sporting goods with p2p currency. I think it would do pretty well!

Just that the masses currently agree that bitcoin is 'the' current p2p currency. Nothing would stop the US Gov (or walmart!) from making/publicizing its own bitcoin competitor which would instantly, immediately, crush bitcoin. (Why use bitc

I would disagree. I think a event like a major exchange being raided would cause a mass selling panic. When megaupload was raided, it wasn't the only one that was effected. Almost all of the other file lockers shuttered/closed immediately.

The biggest problem is that getting bitcoins is a major, major pain in the ass. You need to setup bank transfers, confirm your DNA and get a rectal exam to buy them from any exchange. You are looking at about a week to buy your first bitcoi

I can only speak for SF cost of living. SV is likely cheaper. If you want to live in a nice area in SF, I would say the answer is going to be mostly 'no'. 80,000 seems like more than it is out here, but it unfortunately is not. A 3 bedroom

Coinbase was a giant waste of time for me. I signed up a week ago and its been a mostly crap experience. Would not recommend. Im using mtgox now and its a much more streamlined experience. . Here was my coinbase timeline- Keep in mind I ver

The assault weapon rhetoric is politically defined. A AR-15 is nearly the same weapon as a Mini-14, which just looks like a normal hunting gun. The features that define a 'assault weapon' were just made up from some committee. The stupid th

I use a agent to rent my unts, the fees are nowhere near what this article states though. 1 month rent is the fee I pay. Also, through the contacts and lead-flow my agent has, he ends up getting better qualified tenants who pay more than I

This is a major blow to Broder. (Career ending?) As unlikely as it may be, Imagine he was giving his best effort and his car did act as he wrote. What shitty luck. One thing is for sure- Reviewing a Tesla is a risky thing to do. Most other

This is untrue, there is no law saying as such. Every large ( >1000 employees ) organization has DAILY infections on employee computers. That is the reason for IT departments. If any big corp did a press release every time they found ma

How are the coins mixed before exactly? Also, I think its extremely impractical to think that a volume drug dealer is going to do physical exchanges. Even if they did opt for that route- Track the guy he did the exchanges with, then beat hi

Well, I am biased but I think the interface is years ahead. I feel like I am on geocities/myspace on sidereel. We also have many unique features not present on there.
