t really keep it displayed past that)

[\\\]: lol. they aren'

t trust the people that have given the high ratings, they mean nothing

bgupta: start you free trial now? this site isn'

bgupta: Ok one egg, is a bit.. mmm.. hyperbolic.. you can'
t really even buy one egg with fiat, in most markets. (They are typically sold by the dozen).. The point is bitcoin isn'
t rally a good currency right now, but it does have attributes which could allow it to become one..
bgupta: google shares aren'
t a great currency either
bgupta: right, hence my arguement that it's not really a great currency… but it doesn'

mircea_popescu: but that does not mean that your google shares aren'
t what your eggs are ultimately bought with
mircea_popescu: you notably can'
t buy eggs directly with google shares.
bgupta: So in that case, buying btc, seems akin to buying shares in the new world order. And if we aren'
t ever envisioning a future where one can buy eggs with btc, (even when 1 btc is worth a wheelbarrow full of fiat) there is a problem. We'll need (and probably will) solve the blockchain spam problem.
bgupta: You'd be surprised how many that is.. with the gov'
t borrowing money like mad.
