Bitcoins.... does anyone use them?

[Cade Is Here]

It looks like it is a growing trend. Does anyone use or trade bitcoins here?

That is all very scary to me. A hacker invented it, who is to say my cyber money wouldn't vanish. Oh well I remember when ATM's first came around I didn't like them either. I don't do well with change.

It's worth 153 dollars per bitcoin now. It was around a dollar last year. Silkroad was takin' down last month and that was a heavy customer for Bitcoin. I use bitcoins to gamble online.

For anybody wanting to play around with digital currencies, Bitcoin is a bit expensive. In this case the price doesn't just refer to the cost in $$$ to buy but the computing power required to create one. You still can, but even using the fastest hardware your computer could be churning away for months without producing a single coin.

But there are others, like Dogecoin where you can actually make a few K in a week with more normal hardware. The exchange rate is currently 0.00087395$.

You can buy a pack for about 6K DC.
