Bitcoins

[Souleater]

The only person I know to have made any real money from Bitcoins is Torian, and that was years ago when he was buying bit coins for less than a dollar and then sold a fuck ton of them once the value hit $8 per coin. There was something in the UG about it if I remember correctly.

But I agree with Charles on this one. Like with any digital currency with no major turn around or earning method, it's hard for it to be taken very seriously. There are bitminers out there that are stand-alone GPU's that cost upwards of $30k for it to solve 30 gigahashes per second. If the value of bitcoins does keep increasing and it was actually worth the $30k to have a GPU that was able to do that, then I would take it more seriously. But considering the fact that there is no 100% promise of actually receiving the bitcoins (unless part of a pool; with very little to show for it) once the hash is solved.

Its a bubble. And bubbles always pop.
