Wow, I did a little reading on what's going on with bitcoins, and, well, how can you take this stuff seriously if there is not a simple way to go from USD to bitcoins? I mean ok so arbitraging crook no.1 against crook no.2 pays 5.5 to 1.7, great, where do I click the thingy to make the bet? Makes no sense, it can't be a currency if getting a hold of it is this abstract (read impossible, 'cause if it can't be done from scratch in a few minutes, you've lost my attention span - just can't be bothered)
For your information: I just bought at $406, and will do again if it reaches 250-300 (which would be a real bargain, not to resist). You troll can make fun of us. But unlike You, we know what we are doing: panic like this gives huge opportunities (the Bitcoin-technology is alive and kicking and will not die.... you will see in the next few years: this shit makes Bitcoin even stronger).
1 down and 6 to go. this is what you call a heat seeking erectile missile. good luck bitcoin "investors"...you will need it...lol http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/24/technology/security/mtgox-bitcoin/
Ignorance is your greatest enemy.... We investors have done our homework, our due diligence, our profit/risk calculations. We know very well that an invention like this cannot be uninvented anymore: the genie is out of the bottle: Bitcoin-technology will change the financial-world as we know it, and the ignorant naysayers will be left behind.
LOL... First of all: I'm not trading but investing: for the next 3 years I will not sell any of my coins (and will add when prices irrationally fall). Second: I didn't express any emotions as my investment is extremely in profit still, and I'm quite sure I will stay is profit forever. Third: unlike you I understand the Bitcoin-protocol in-side-out, and know very well that this will grow as fast and as big as the Internet did from 1995 till now. No luck needed: it will just happen, if you like it or not.
You as well... By the way the Bitcoins I bought this morning on $406 are already at 25% profit. Ask me in 3 years time, how much they are worth then
