BTC is not OK for use in stores, those 30 minutes transaction times make it useless, and all those price fluctuation prevent stores to use it.
You are failing. try harder, or go back to hashtalk and regroup with bitgeek and rootdude. The argument above is complete bs - why does Dell or Overstock accept bitcoin then? Do you think i had to wait a half hour to buy that laptop yesterday from tigerdirect with BTC? ... Um.. Nope... So, you just proved you are a moron and don't even know jack-shit about BTC, or anything at all about how stores even accept it.
Seriously though. I just used BTC to purchase my girlfriend a diamond necklace for Christmas from Reeds Jewelers. The transaction was instant and painless.
I will also be using BTC to purchase Christmas presents from newegg very soon.
I don't understand where all these GAW cheerleaders get off saying that Bitcoin has failed and that no retailers will accept it.
