Pennies can and are broken down further all the time. There's a reason the "Money" design pattern exists. http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/money.html Besides, what's your point? If you break down

What does that have to do with a theft? Is gold or the USD a tulip too?

So I guess the moral of the story is "Take risks"? Surely those bad decisions don't nullify becoming a "bitcoin person" (or a rich person).

You can also trade in person, like people have done for thousands of years with gold.

Maybe because it's a new technology and we are just learning about it? Who told them to jump in anyway? Didn't they know hackers existed? I bet these are the same persons who leave their $3000 cameras or other gear unattended when

You don't need to do any of that if you already are a Bitcoin user. You are speaking nonsense.

It is. In fact I have never seen a prepaid credit card. And you can use Bitcoin from your phone, no need for a desktop PC. Yes, third world countries have phones. Will I have to explain this to every American? Besides this affects first wor

Most of the people of the world can't really have a bank account, let alone be eligible for a credit (card). With Bitcoin you only need internet access. Most of the people of the world can't really save either. Cash loses value ov

It's not a foreign currency. Think of it like gold. I rather think of myself as a human than as a <insert nationality from country I happened to be born in>. Gold is mine, and so is Bitcoin.

Why do you think 13 with 100+ is wrong? They weren't worth much a few months ago, and this is a website for hackers. I wouldn't be surprised if 10 of those 13 have thousands of coins.

Again, you don't understand design by contract. You just pass objects around and pray that they will work. If you stayed a bit up to date, you would realize that Rails is pretty dated already. For instance, take a look at Symfony2. It
