I agree. I do see people buying them, and using them.
I guess what I don't get is, why would people be so inclined to support this? As a consumer, it is a system where "charge backs" can't occur. Once you send your Bitcoins, they are spent. They can never be spent again.
Plus the whole system will max out at 21 Million Bitcoins, the saving grace to this is the Bitcoin can be carried out 8 decimal places.
So I take it no one here, actually buys into the bitcoin?
