can't help to notice these "bitcoin is fail" threads.
sorry if you're not getting rich because you bought a shitload of em after you saw it on a news website.
people are buying and selling goods with em.
there are exchanges that deal with em.
donations are being made with em.
it serves a purpose to all who use em.
it has some hurdles to overcome.
but in the long and short -
bitcoin will survive as long as we want it to.
...just sayin...
Agreed, it's way too easy for people to get negative and try to bring this thing down when it's really just begun. Too many people thought they were going to turn a quick buck and make out like a bandit on the way up. This thing is young, give it time.
