No reason it can't be both. One usually leads to the other.

It was already widely known as a currency for bad things. The closing basically eliminated that argument.

I mean, we clearly saw that the price rose. You provided an explanation for why it should have fallen. It didn't, so you are wrong. Therefore I think the world " does work like that ", in some contexts.

I don't see why the closing of silk road should have resulted in a drop of the price if "prices rise immediately in anticipation of positive future events." The closing of silk road lead people to anticipate that bitcoin wou

I think the 0% was just for usd/btc trades, and they already charged a fee for withdrawing, so I'm not sure that this makes sense.

Also, if you're already signed in to Coinbase you don't have to pull out a card and copy your CC info into a form. It's basically a 2-click checkout. I bought a $1,000 plane ticket using this last week in less time than it

I just bought a $1000 plane ticket a few days ago for bitcoin. Seems like that's fulfilling the role of a currency. You should know that you don't actually have to hold bitcoin to accept it as a payment method. Services like Coi

"At some point" Probably won't go up 10x overnight. Even doubling in less than 24 hours has maybe happened twice in the history of bitcoin. If you're concerned about your btc position, you just buy more after you spend

Two really interesting things to me are (1) that it's now possible to have hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets and not have them seized when arrested; and (2) there's a lot of speculation that bitcoin was created by a

Why are they allowed to take time to "get things in order"? They lied, shouldn't they be prosecuted? If the text is saying they won't , that seems much closer to polite than serious.

Is there a large contingent of bitter MS employees on HN? Does it really need to be explained how the whole scroogled campaign is kind of ridiculous and hypocritical?

You could've just sent the bitcoin to Coinbase and sold them there.

That's what an auth step is, like nahname mentioned. Many (most?) credit card charges come in two parts: the auth, which appears on your statement and kind of verifies that your payment won't be rejected, and the settlement, whic

What's the business incentive for keeping the keys and lying about it?

I think the key benefit of bitcoin here is that you have a choice as to who holds your bitcoin for you, as opposed to there being only one option: storing your money with a bank. You can store bitcoin with an online wallet or on your hom

The only thing you can do with 51% is double spend. You can't do anything you want, like move somebody else's money.

I used one of these the other day to try to buy $1 worth of bitcoin. It spun forever and I had to leave. Don't know if it ever actually went through or not, but it should've given me a timeout message way before 5 minutes of sta
