Can someone tell me how bitcoin is a currency and not a product? It seems that it's valuation is based less off of how, say, the US dollar interacts with a market in terms of being evaluated against a wide array of consumable goods but more a direct resource based operation such as gold or diamonds.
I just don't get how this will end up any different than the idea of the gold standard - eventually it'll just be states trading off a concept of centralized value and creating debt, however without being regulated in and of itself, the ideas of lending and mass use (which are central to the idea of large-scale currency-based economics) aren't applicable to bitcoin.
I dunno seems like a libertarian's dream, and fuck those types.

Monday will be the day that Bitcoin futures launch -- Bitcoins enters mainstream finance, which kind of explains the price rally we saw this week.
It is correcting now to back 11-12 000 USD, might even happen today, a good time to buy.
About 1000 people own 40% of all Bitcoins, and who knows how much manipulative power they really have, but the futures will make it less volatile from now on...

Coinbase to purchase and watch?
Wallets to store and excrypt?
GDAX to trade??
I'm confused, do I also need GDAX?

This is one of the most interesting use of Bitcoin that I've seen.

It's a good first step and I hope this will get traction.

There are no noble ideas to disrupt the financial industry
Fiat dollars, bitcoins, actual gold, tulips -- once adopted by the swinelike greedy masses, it all amounts to a get-rich-quick schemeFuck Bitcoin

"Medium of exchange - worthless. Nobody wants to buy pizzas with Bitcoin, because it is by and large considered some kind of investment. I love the irony that people don't want to spend their bitcoin to buy things because they're convinced that it's so incredibly useful to buy things - so much so that it will one day net them millions of... dollars? No wait, not that!"
"If you think the value of Bitcoin, denominated in US dollars, soaring into the stratosphere is a good thing, then you've patently revealed your true motivation, which is for the in-crowd to get rich. This is deliciously ironic given:
>they betray their ignorance, their illiteracy and their complete
>blindness to the revolution that's happening right under their feet and
>which will, in time, bring down the corrupt power structures of our world
>to create a freer, fairer society for all of us.And so we see what you'd really like to see happen: destroy the riches of the current superwealthy and replace them with a different group that you like more - Bitcoin early adopters."
- as I mentioned below, it's sad to see that Bitcoin became not what it was intended.
However, I still believe that the best things built on Bitcoin are yet tozaq - come. CirclesUBI looks promising, although it has it's shortcomings, it's a step in the right direction.zaq

as prices climb, news reporting "Bitcoin Fees Are Skyrocketing"...
is this effect built in in bitcoin or is it because the trade sites built it in?- price gougingmonospaced

People are mortgaging their houses to buy Bitcoin

I heard a really noble use for bitcoin in the early days – that it can basically be tracked so if one government (say, the UK) gives another government (say, Zimbabwe) aid money, they can see how it has been truthfully spent, rather than the corrupt leader (say, Mugabe) being shady with what they're really doing with it.
Still, I wish I'd have bought a few earlier this year!
