Why half in taxes? Isn't this a capital gain? So 15-25% fed cap gain plus about 10% California income (if even applicable)

The parent comment says nothing about the validity of "it being a currency"..this is an argument the child brings up just to Bitcoin hate. And it's a 'beat the drum' comment, same as the "it's like tulips/.com" that the parent is tired of hearing.

And, it's not the point of every cryptocoin to be a currency, whatever may be your definition of a currency.

This forum is so dumb now.

This has nothing to do with the parent.

It's funny how thick HNers are about Bitcoin. I believe it's evidence of the sort of passive conservatism of the tech community. Bitcoin is some utopian shit, the decentralized technology dream that has a ton of traction, yet many of you just can't seem to get behind it. Is it because YC is an ultra capitalistic investment fund and Bitcoin is just too anarchist for its fanboys?

For all the people out there saying, "I cant find a use case", my question to you is, have you ever used it?!

If you have, did you notice that there wasn't a middleman taking a cut when you sent the money? I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much money businesses pay to the credit card companies?

Get on board guys.

>I just have a very hard time seeing how it's actually useful

Why is it so hard to see?

Whenever you send money somewhere electronically, a middleman takes a cut. With Bitcoin there is no middleman.

It's that easy.

Useless feature imo. SC was better without it (noticeably faster load times). How much server cost do they save if they eliminate comments?
