    New Online Purchasing Laws

    Bottom line: I know there will not be a lot of people who will agree with me here - but I see BTC as truly what I believe it is: 1. an electronic currency. 2. a means of exchange (currency conversion). 3. a trading instrument and investment ''stock'' or ''bond''... Does it have its weaknesses...

    New Online Purchasing Laws

    Previously (I believe) it worked it out between Mt Gox, Bitstamp and BTC-e - based on recent events with Mt Gox I would say its figures are no longer given much weight by the algorithms used..

    Best Japanese Food Outside Of Japan (So Far...:)

    PS Last night someone was ordering the shabu shabu and it looked and smelt wonderful as well :) The only thing that for me is a *bit* different is the karaage I remember in Japan - I am sure it was not so dry - the style here is a bit different - still delicious but not as tenderized/fried/moist...

    ejcot en argentina - you're entitled to your own opinion of course - but since most world governments have now finally been FORCED to accept the fact that the btc is here to stay and is in fact a CURRENCY I really don't understand where you are coming from in terms of calling it a ''pyramid...

    Hi Germano - well you could have a btc account anywhere - any location - its anonymous unless you want it to be otherwise and really the only thing I would assume that the correo argentina people could do to make life hard would be in terms of physical mail delivery - then again, I'm amazed...

    New Online Purchasing Laws

    I've not been hit so far (touch wood) and even today with btc all over the place (right now about 600 US) I still managed to grab 1000 bucks from my overseas account, purchase btc (about 1.4) from memory and ended up with the local Argentine purchaser depositing just under 10,000 Pesos into my...

    BINGO - if I had used that word the post would have been stopped automatically because that word is obviously on ''the list'' of words that the system looks for - and then the other word (I think) was that I used the word ''M*derator" - just substitute ''o'' for ''*'' and you have the word - but...
