Bitcoin hits $100

Has anyone used Bitinstant successfully in the past 48h?
I did a MtGox coupon -> PayPal transfer and it failed because they had "insufficient funds". Contacted support multiple times and no response, they usually fix it in a couple hours...

Schiff is wavering... I don't know why. But he didn't have any problem whatsoever letting Tom Woods host his show recently and do a half hour special teaching people to use bitcoin:

(This is an incredibly good introduction to bitcoin, by the way. Bookmark it to use in the future whenever a bitcoin noob has any questions.)
Well, I didn't say "exact currency," but I guess in the strictest terms, you guys are correct. You win.
Productionhead, MacG, and illeat, you guys were right. I cracked open some econ books today and got to the bottom of this... And my added meaning of the origin of value was nowhere in sight... Seems weird to me, but I had better face the music...
So I officially take this time to concede my point; the value that a market cap is representing isn't necessarily the sum of all net payments... It's just a representation of what they're worth now.
Perhaps I should have originally said: "If that's so, then why is bitcoin now valued at $1.4 BILLION."
There you go, I admit it: I was in error.
Congratulations to you all.
If you guys are going make a t-shirt design, something like "I beat lukep in a debate on wickedfire!" -I'll throw in a couple of bitcents to help your printing costs. :thumbsup:
It wasn't a Hack, it was a DDos.
Attention: Mt.Gox, BTC-E, & Vircurex all have been suffering
DDos Attacks constantly the last couple of days.
Naturally some in the BTC community is blaming the US Gov, but it could just as well be hackers wanting to control the price of bitcoin somehow... Either way, now is the time when bitcoin's general security will be forced to step up, or bitcoin itself won't survive. Interesting times indeed.

Looks like some folks around here haven't been keeping up with my blog: How to buy Bitcoins ...Pity. Would have save you some time. (Although in mGrunin's case he'd probably want to keep it on an exchange so it can be traded at will... For that there are no good answers right now with all these DDos attacks.)(O-o) said:
Funny you should say that about Mt.Gox: Mt.Gox moves to Silicon Valley - ars technica
Here's something pretty interesting I just learned (a week late) on the bitcointalk forum... Apparently this video was released and spread around to cyprus during their hell week, a week ago:

This artist has done pretty cheezy stuff for bitcoin in the past, but this was actually really, surprisingly good.
I wonder how much of a difference it made in bitcoin's price? 11k views in a week, but the song is in English. :/
Really? Your going to link to a blog with your blatent aff link? Maybe your more fucking retarded than your posts are afterall.
lukep, it takes a man of devastating courage to admit he was in error, and to grow in the light of such a circumstance.
You are man.
You are man.
I read the Vircurex thread. The guy is hoping he'll have the new server up by Monday.
Bitparking closed down as well
afaik, there's only one exchange atm Btc-e.com
Crypto-trade.com is launching shortly. Hope it'll be good

Silicon valley vc's want to get involved to create bitcoin atms and other applications
I would not be surprised if a major retailer like starbucks, amazon, netflix etc starts accepting them in addition to a bitcoin type mutual fund
