Re: I don't know what their "partners" expected
the only thing _I_ would expect from any crypto-currency is:
a) exchange fees being collected by those who REALLY make money off of it
b) instability and continuous price changes for items that would otherwise be stable pricewise
c) no backing with anything even partially solid, like gold, or national security, or exchange rates into other currencies
d) someone somewhere benefiting at everyone ELSE's expense
We'd be better of standardizing on one or two currencies, like dollars and euros. Oh, isn't that kinda what's happening ALREADY? *WHY* must we have "change for the sake of change" with this "new, shiny" currency?
Bitcoin is totally FSCKd, in my opinion, and I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Nor will MOST people from what I've seen. So then WHY must we accept FAECE-BITCH-BUCKS ???
Dollars. Euros. UK Pounds. Good enough for me. I see those exchange rates advertised at the bank, and they're reasonably stable. THAT unlike your average crypto-currency...
icon, because, Faece-Bitch-Bucks are a *FAILURE*
