watching this ping pong match, i'm thinking "food fight!"

I've had a few people at work ask me about altcoins. I think they feel they missed the Bitcoin train and are casting about for something similar to make money fast. I usually just roll up a newspaper and hit them with it until I feel better.

such amaze

currency much

edit/ also nan, really liked your post in the open message thread

Or go 50/50 which leaves options open.

But whatever you do, make a plan and stick with it.

i really have no idea what's going to happen long-term. this recent crash should be sobering to some people, as bitcoin could be forever relegated to a black market asset/currency.

Hhhhmmm....well, I think regulation is going to happen one way or the other.  
I think it would be great if the 'community' comprised that regulation rather than it being imposed externally.

Coming from Australia I can say that, like the old joke "put two welshmen in a room and they form a choir", if you put two Aussies together the first thing they do is set up a regulatory framework.

Everyone repeat after me:  "This time it's different".
