Maybe they can reimburse investors with Force of Nature cards.

Not at all. The government is more than happy to watch it die on its own. It keeps them from having to exert any energy to kill it.

I agree. We didn't (wont) get to that point. But that would be a problem for long term viability at least as a currency. As a baseball card, which is a better analogy of what it is, it is fine, but it would never survive really as a currency.

I can't believe hackers go to these things, never would have thought that would happen.

My bad. Of course you weren't having HBP from the Bitcoin nosedive, you never had the guts to follow your own avid and aggressive advice.Go ahead, take the high road JoJo, it's what you do best and what I'll always remember you for. You deserve it.

Jojo... WAIT!
From a mostly outside observer, given your post count in this thread, that seems unlikely.

Well I am glad you are feeling better. However this is the kind of response one should expect when one pushes something like this and it goes #### up so spectacularly. Didn't the card game "bank" just file for bankruptcy protection? What Magic Card does one use for that I wonder?Thanks.

Serious question. Where can you actually use bitcoin as a way to procure goods and/or services? It seems like the people who are currently investing in it aren't really looking at it as an alternative form of currency but rather at a speculative investment opportunity. Everything I've been reading about it seems to indicate that there has been a lot of hoarding of bitcoin from the early adopters but aside from some of the illegal activities do any of these people actually use bitcoin for what its original intent was?

So were $750MM of Bitcoins stolen from Mt Gox? What exactly happened?
Sounds like a solid investment

You can also use them at tiger direct to buy more computers and cards so that you can mine more bitcoins.

A 1980's Dungeons & Dragons group had a guy in the bay area cast a digital spell on it.
I think I understand why this list isn't like the average overstock.com purchaser (says so in the article).
And now, the list…. (from the article with my notes)
1. Sheets - After too much p0rn, you have to replace them.
2. Cell Phone Accessories - Makes it more comfortable to watch p0rn on the go.
3. A/V Accessories - Need to enhance the p0rn watched at home.
4. Appliances - Need to buy things to allow you to watch more p0rn at home.
5. Computer Accessories - Explains itself.
6. Computers - Ditto.
7. Men’s Shoes - Well, accidents do happen.
8. Hard Drives - More storage for p0rn.
9. Bedroom Furniture - Comfort for watching p0rn.
10. Keyboards & Mice - Well, they do get dirty. See sheets.
11. Men’s Watches - Damn, this one was tough, but I guess you do need to know how soon you have to get home before the live p0rn show.

Well, maybe $750mm at the time. Now, more like $75.
Kind of reminds me of one of the biggest bank robberies of all time. One that was too big. Years back, some gang stole truckloads of new Irish bank currency notes. Billions of dollars worth of paper money. The money was so new it hadn't been released to the public yet--it was a new bill design which was about to go into circulation later that month. The gang stole more than half the money supply, so, the bank just canceled the release. Said they were going with a different design entirely and just pushed back the circulation release a few months. Pretty much just said "They stole a bunch of the blue paper money before we could get it out to the public. So we're switching to one with a green swirl on it. Use those instead." Gang that had billions of dollars in cash ended up with a warehouse full of scrap paper.

But if these bitcoins were "lost", can't the people who "find" them just go sell them on a new exchange right away?
