I would not touch bitcoins with a 10 ft pole. If you want to throw money away private message me for my address and you can just send the money to me. :-)
Money:
1. You are afraid to give out your address to receive money.
2. Businesses test your Franklins to see if they are counterfeit.
3. Transactions of over 100 Franklins are reported to the government.
4. You are not allowed to take more than 100 Franklins out of the country.
5. Travel with "large amounts" of Franklins inside the USA and they are subject to being confiscated pending a lengthy determination of their source.
6. Hefty charges for ATM transactions, wiring funds, insufficient funds, checks, and etc.
7. Fear of being robbed on the street or in your home.
8. Regulated Banks must be FDIC insured.
9. Printed out of "thin air".
10. Value decreasing daily (One Bitcoin is now worth Two Franklins).
Bitcoins:
1. None of the above.
My address if someone wants to send me some: 1D9P1gbfiwy4JyQKRDUVEfJF7FKmDFVkKH
Just sayin'... :-)
