Tried to search for it but did not find anything about it, could have been a good extra income for the owner if they take like 5% rake or something..
But I guees its lots of legal shit they would have to jump through to make it possible, but it would have been a lot of fun.
Should probably have put this in suggestion, but did not have it in me right now to write something "formal"

Assuming bitcoin doesn't go bankrupt of course. Not the most stable currency and a rocky road in media criticism lately.

Meanwhile, the value and adoption has only been increasing. There's lots of people trading in it, lots of money moving around, now even if any government wanted to shut it down they can't... piss off too many people, and governments tend to not want to piss off people with money... it doesn't have any risk of going "bankrupt" any more than gold has a risk of going "bankrupt"...

Well, that depends on who you ask.. I'd much rather take the bitcoins, rather than lug a pound of gold around... that shit is heavy! A pound of gold weighs at least, like, a pound... there's at least a couple of exchangers in my city who buy/sell bitcoins, if we assume I'm going to head to one of those places to cash out my prize and spend it all instantly on cocaine and whores, then it doesn't really matter if I take bitcoin or gold to them... of course I'll rather take whichever is easier to carry.
Well actually, why not? There's no inherent value in either... we only give them value because of their rarity, because they're finite resources. In the case of gold, this is because it's a metal that isn't very abundant on our planet - thus causing a limited supply, or scarcity, which increases its value. In the case of bitcoin, the value is derived from its function as a transactional currency, and further guaranteed by its scarcity as a finite resource...i'm sorry... you can not compare bitcoin to gold... you just can't... that is an asinine statement...-el Jesus negro
There isn't any currency on this planet which you could trust 100%... everything only has value as long as people want it. The way I see it, bitcoin isn't any different from any other currency, in this regard - it has value as long as people give it value.

God is my trust.
I think is what you meant to say: there isn't any currency on this planet that you 'should' trust.
If you are part of this world you most likely have already put 100% of your trust in some form of currency.
For my girlfriend it is sex...she is able to get anything she desires using sex.
She sells it (but still has it), trades it (yet has it still), uses it like it is going out of style.
As far as the CC thing; How could it not last another five years. How long has the game of risk been around.
Five years is such a short period of time.
The question should be, how long will you be playing CC?
I sure hope I am not playing after the end of august 2014

Using currency is a everyday thing, you will be using it to purchase anything and everything.
Your faith, trust, belief and hope are already engulfed by it.
If it is not, you most likely will buy Gold or other precious material...putting 100% faith in that.
Taking God out of the picture (or not) people are part of this world and the things their of.
Gold has history...probably your best bet.
Where do you put your trust?
Yes, I know what you are talking about...money (currency) is not worth the paper it is made of.
None the less people do (nothing else matters..they have too) put 100% trust (their lives) in it.
60% Gold, 20% Silver coins, 10% stocks, 10% reality series...all the same..100% of nothing.
All is death, everything (is going to) dies...all is going to pass away.
What I am saying; I am dating a slut. She would give it away for free, if not for me.
I put a good deal of faith in her, with or without STD's...people pay for it either way (no extra charge). Got to love the sluts!

Sweet! Hope it continues working out for you.Gweeedo wrote:I can tell you this; Once I put my trust in God, I have never regretted it...many a blessings involved.
I can't bother with religions myself. Too much effort and you never know which one to pick and then you end up brainwashed in some compound with some nutcase spanking your balls because you're thinking unclean thoughts or some shit like that.
Well no, that doesn't make one bit of sense. If you're not talking about savings, the only thing you have to "trust" is that when you get your paycheck, you'll be able to give it some other guy and the other guy gives you stuff you want in exchange. You definitely don't have to put your unwavering 100% trust in the infallibility of said currency in order to use it.Using currency is a everyday thing, you will be using it to purchase anything and everything.

A smart man hedges his bets. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Say you put all your money in US dollar, then suddenly one day the US economy collapses and your dollars are plummeting in value. Was it worth it trusting that one currency? And if you think that can't happen, go tell that to the people of Cyprus...Where do you put your trust?
Well aren't you little miss sunshine.Yes, I know what you are talking about...money (currency) is not worth the paper it is made of.

Yeah everything dies, but that's no reason to stop living your life.
Cool! I endorse sluts 100%.What I am saying; I am dating a slut. She would give it away for free, if not for me.
I put a good deal of faith in her, with or without STD's...people pay for it either way (no extra charge). Got to love the sluts!
But I'm confused... in your last post you more than implied your girlfriend sells sexual services. Now you recant your position and say she gives them for free... don't get me wrong, I won't judge either way - I think sluts and whores are both awesome. But which is it? Just so we have some final clarity on the matter.

Re: What's the chance of CC surviving for 5 more years?
Religion, God, man, faith, church, sin...I am not required to do anything (just believe), God said he will do the rest.
I know for a fact that Jesus (God) exists...what else do I need to know.
Knowing such a thing has changed my life, I am not the same guy I once was...Sinner yes, regardless, I will profess the name Jesus forever.
Being a foul sinner such as myself, I will certainly beg for mercy (every day) when I encounter the kingdom (my king) of heaven. It has been said, he is a merciful God...that I really believe (trust).
Money (Currency) it comes and goes yet it always seems to be there when you need it.
I live in Alaska, I have lived here for 50 years.
I will survive (god willing) with or without money.
The difference being Money, does not matter what form of money (currency) you put your trust...it is all the same and it is 100% or nothing.
She would give it for free if It was not for me teaching her how to use (work) it...it is worth something, not just give it away for nothing.
She loves sex, now she loves her work...all the better for me.
She only keeps me around cuz of my unusually large phallus...she buys me things (no, she is not fat...fat girls buy you things)

What? No it isn't. Nothing is ever all or nothing. You can trust someone enough to have them over in your house and not steal the silverware, but you still wouldn't trust them enough to loan your car to them.

gweeedo would be over 50 years old and is a born again alaskan fundamentalist pimp?

Re: What's the chance of CC surviving for 5 more years?
A bit off topic.
I do not 'solicits customers', I do not share in any profit.
Not a pimp...just allow her to do what she loves.
She (use too..still does I am sure) gave it away (for free) too anybody whom she thinks might like her.
Trying too subdue her fixation on sex, by having boundaries (not free).
Open relationship, I do not know what she does (really), she runs off for days at a time.
Who cares...we enjoy each other.
As far as the currency thingy; I do not expect you to understand.
Yes it is!
You are either of this world (money, currency) or not.
If you are an investor and put stock (trust) in that sort of thing...where your money is, their you will find your trust (100%).
The end...now back on topic.
Of course you silly wrabbit...CC will definitely last well over five years.
I will bet anybody who thinks otherwise.
My girlfriend against your five bucks.
