Since this thread was started, there has been an invention which allows instant and secure payments to anywhere in the world and does away with the need for paying extortionate fees to a third party just for tapping some keys.

This brand new disruptive technology will one day hopefully break the monopoly of the global banking cartel and lead to the liberation and empowerment of all people not just the elite few.

I wish I knew what that new invention was. I've just completed a house purchase and needed to make a final payment of £140K, and the only method to do this was to pay someone £25 for tapping some keys.

You mean that currency that requires you to have a secure PC to store your 'wallet', and if anyone grabs it you've lost everything? The currency that virtually no online store, retailer or service provider supports?

wrong, wrong, wrong and, er, wrong.

You might like to check your facts before you go spouting rubbish about something you obviously know nothing about.

WOW! Five pubs. That must be proof that it's all happening.

Sounds like a great piece of advice to yourself.

Your right, I know virtually nothing about bit coin. However, I do know that none of the shops I use accept bit coin as payment. None of the online shops I use accept bit coin, and I guess we have all heard the news stories about people and websites losing huge quantities of bit coin due to theft.

So instead of just saying "wrong, wrong, wrong and, er, wrong.", how about you state some facts? Which shops accept bit coin? Which major online retailers accept bitcoin? What happens if someone steals your hard drive? etc...

We are all here to learn, so I'm quite willing to be corrected about my facts.
