Interesting analogy. A publicly traded company with transparent financials and corporate hierarchy vs. a web site that has an unknown company behind it, run by anonymous CEO.

Thanks, I found it now. Though, they speak Russian and support predominantly Russian payment methods while supporting zero Bulgarian payment methods so either they are lying or the Bulgarian company is just a shell.

Where does the Bulgaria thing come from? BTC-E is clearly a russian site.

Nope, he suddenly went silent after I agreed to the bet. But I'm sure he had some very important thing to do that's keeping him busy and not able to answer ;)

I'm cool with the bet even if it doesn't involve "official stamp of approval" from any government. You say USD/EUR will hyperinflate. We can probably agree that gold price is a good measure if something has hyperin

Forget what I said above about not trusting an escrow :) With such lovely odds, I'll gladly take you on this bet. Contact John K from bitcointalk about doing the escrow and I'm in. We can even up the sum a bit :)

Of course I'd bet. I'd bet all the money I have + my firstborn child + my future income for the next 30 years. Only someone without the faintest understanding of economics can think bitcoin will become USA/Europe's offic

You obviously don't visit Flippa too often. As someone who does, I can tell you that you have quite the wrong impression. Flippa is a cesspool full of people selling crappy sites at inflated prices and if you really want to get detaile

"Failed" is a strong word and it's still too early to tell. Sure, I don't think it will ever be used predominantly as an exchange medium but that could be a nice "bonus" functionality. A lot of it depends on ho

Yes, and that's why I agree that bitcoin is "digital gold", rather than the Holy Grail of ecommerce. But that doesn't make peercoin a good idea. If I want to spend I have credit card and a paypal account, I don't ne

Inflationary currency makes sense from economics point of view, if you can force it onto people, as governments do. No one will hold inflationary currency voluntarily, if they can choose a deflationary one, all else being equal.

That "study" is bullshit. It's actually a survey asking people after how many seconds they will leave the site. I'm now expecting them to find cure for cancer by popular vote.

The likelihood of that happening is about the same as being able to write software without being a programmer. You already have the tools to turn a script into a blockbuster. What you don't have is the time and the skills. For a softwa

Unlikely. MtGox is not a bank. They charge commission on every trade and make pretty good money. They were running just fine 1 year ago when the volume was few times less so it's unlikely they are having financial problems now.

Are you and your friend working in the same field and having the same capabilities? I'm pretty sure a brilliant "doormat" programmer will make more than, say, an average "maximizer" salesman.
