I have no idea what variables you are using, or how you are reasoning that bitcoins somehow are 'cheap' at a certain price. Using the only scale we have available (history) $40+ per BTC is VASTLY overpriced considering the previous historic

Though very hard swings in short time DOES hinder wide adoption as it can cause retailers to lose money while a transaction is 'en route'. No one wants to use a currency that swings 20% in hours of trading. Hell, that's prob 4-5x the margin

Yep. I am pretty much acting the same way. I have a few BTC that I got years ago and a small ASIC mining rig ordered just 'For teh lulz'.

It's interesting how 'Bitcoin falls $10!!' is news, while the fact that it's gone up 50%+ in less than a month, and over 1000% in 1 year somehow is not.

My guess is that a LOT of the Bitcoin owners today are early adopters that own very little BTC as a novelty and/or with the idea that "Hey, who knows. Maybe my 4 BTC will be worth $1000s in a few years". This makes for a super volatile mark

I prob wouldn't mix the term 'Economics 101' with a early adopter currency that has fluctuated between $0.001 and $50 in less than 5 years and between $5 and $50 in the last 10 months.

For a 'currency' that has gone up from $4 to $45+ in the last 10 months and the last 50% in a month, a 20% drop isn't really that unexpected.

Read the title as 'Comet might hit in March 2014' followed by '50 km' and almost choked to death on my morning Espresso.

Pretty classic case of 'the blame has to land somewhere' after their abysmal performance since IPO. Considering the stock price/performance vs. expectations investors see any change as positive.

Well domain.com uses 'parked' domains to ear themselves advertising dollars until you 'use' them so it seems most domain registrars are in on the 'racket'.

As true as your comment is I would like to point out that there is a value in itself to have 'fresh eyes' on QA. An experienced and talented tester unfamiliar with a system/product/service can actually work as both QA/UI and UX resource if

Oh I don't consider memolane an 'essential' backup tool at all (that would be an absolute disaster scenario). Nevertheless you would imagine they could have given their users a little more heads up especially if they are not going out of bu

A rebuttal on revenue without reveal of the factual numbers is completely useless in my opinion.

I think you are pretty much 100% wrong here. With a active user base and the cookie duration for amazon links 10% isn't necessarily far off at all. This of course takes into account high ticket items purchased with active cookie etc.

It is 100% not about the fact that she makes money. It's about the fact that she is soliciting people to donate under the false guise that doing so is what is keeping her 'in business'. It's also important to note that if you blanket your s

As much as it probably is a good idea, it's a little worrying when a company amidst a crisis takes the time to work on their brand name and make room for that announcement in a webcast that literally defines whether or not the company will

Nice spam if you are a moron not checking the date and realizing that it's just some Bitcoin fan trying to create 'hype'.

Until the day comes that you can ACTUALLY spend your BTC (I know there are places you can, but in all reality it's still very much a novelty currency today) and prices stop fluctuating wildly from month to month I am staying away from the e
