I can calculate.
Not an excuse to feel pissed in my opinion.
The guy who bought bitcoin at 20 usd might have hesitated and have felt pissed looking at a past price of 0.3 usd. What is the point of making yourself feel pissed ? Regret is a waste of energy and a recipe to create more regret in the future. It makes no sense to me.

That doesn't mean it's too late.

At that point there will start to have more professional use of the bitcoin as well. Why should that be an instrument only for consumers ?

Companies might very well decide to hold bitcoins and not only USD for future payments in bitcoins. Many businesses will not mind the exposure to the usd variations that are mostly to the upside anyways.

My company is selling online and we are adding bitcoin as a payment method, you can be sure I am deciding that the company will keep bitcoin payments as bitcoin.

There is every reason to believe that many businesses besides merchants will love btc, but the process has to start somewhere.

If many merchants are in love with btc they may pressure their suppliers to take it as payment.  As the wholesalers accept the new payment method they may request to pay the producer in kind.  The ball would really be rolling then.

Online stores are a perfect place to accept btc.

Thanks.  I'll go do that right now.  Only thing going on in the markets is a bunch of bots anyhow.

BTC-e is like $200 behind gox. This is ridiculous

Banks again.  I just read the wiki on M-Pesa and the references to banks were everywhere.  So, I suppose, what btc needs is a clearinghouse.

Noted that IBM was/is involved in the 'Development and second line support' details of M-Pesa.  Shouldn't be too long before we hear something from that powerhouse inre bitcoin.

They just had a sell off at BTC-e and the other exchanges didn't follow, why would they?   So no big deal really, gap has closed quite a bit.

lets see a nice little handle here on gox

Any volume going on at BTCe ?

Gox is puny.
