    But then why would I need bitcoins - where does the demand come from?

    the demand comes because so far, holding BitCoin is not visible nor transparent

    and that makes BitCoins a useful vehicle for transferring wealth across regions or holding wealth

    at the airport the airport scanners will spot a wad of cash or a pile of gold or silver coins, but the USB stick
    bitcoin wallet, or even keeping the wallet on the Exchange, nobody knows about it

    hence, anybody who might have an interest in disguising their wealth is attracted to Bitcoin

        the first sentence of the article,

        "Bitcoin has made many skeptics, myself included, look silly this year.",

        is not the conclusion.

        Your homework for tonight is to develop the patience and persistence to read a whole 5 minute long written article.

        Good luck, our ultimate goal will be you reading a whole LadyBird book.

        I've read the article, it offered nothing new to my understanding and hasn't changed my view one bit. I've read many like it already.

        I'd rather spend 5 mins trading and make a big profit. Portfolio up 16% overnight without even putting any effort in.

        EDIT: oh and **** off you pedantic twunt.

                    Getting tired of all these bitcoin threads and I'm interested in what is happening with it. Expect it to become banned in general any time now.

                    There should be two threads, the one where those with skin in the game are discussing how to proceed and kept free of the trolling (I've been a good boy so far ), and the one where we discuss the negative side to keep them honest.

                    Let's keep it simple and an unbanned topic in General.
                    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                      That wasn't aimed at you. It was my reaction to seeing how much money I've made.
