dayman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Have you heard of Bitcoin? What do you think about it? I would be interested to hear what some here think of it, given that PPP has a decent mix of libertarian tendencies. I've known the term for a while but only recently looked it up as it has been becoming more and more mainstream lately. After watching a few videos explaining it I have to admit I am intrigued. While it is clearly complicated, it has the potential to be much more legitimate than I thought before I learned more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin ^^wikipedia article^^ https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-finance/money-and-banking/bitcoin/v/bitcoin-what-is-it ^^series of videos that explain it (highly recommended if you are interested)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koko78 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 There have been a number of people who made money speculating on it. More and more merchants are apparently accepting it as currency for online purchases. It will be interesting to see if it can actually become a competitor currency to established national currencies.

Just Jack Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Here's a good investment, if you can find it (Target, Walmart, etc).... Doc McStuffins Checkup Center http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=24342656&prodFindSrc=pn&cp=2256395.3254088 Prices range from $60-70 depending on where you get it. Then eBay it.... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R3.TR4.TRC1.A0.Xdoc+mcstuffins+ch&_nkw=doc+mcstuffins+check+up&_sacat=0&_from=R40 (or sit on it till the market drops out, like Bitcoin will, your choice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
