Yes, Bitcoin risk, that is, I know a bitcoin secure transaction site: http://lakebtc.com,  you can try.

That sentence  sounds so dodgy I wouldn't click on that link in a million years. I won't try thanks.

Keith Rabois from khosla ventures is one of the most knowledgeable VC:s in the payment space,  he says that government almost certainly will ban all marketing on BTC. He refers to days of paypal/yahoo. Must be a bit  alarming coming from a name like him, link to the interview; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia1bqXuOg04

Any thoughts comments on this.. scares me

What do you mean "ban all marketing on BTC"?

And yes, as others point out, bitcoin is global. If the US chooses to opt out, its still a viable currency for the other 250 nations on the planet.

i'd prob change the subject. seems quite an opinion


It is a very well informed and valuable opinion coming from a man which job is to invest in the future and specially the payment space....

but working at paypal for a few years and square a few years before having to leave doesn't necessarily prove you are one of the most knowledgeable VC in the payments space. the world is bigger than US as well. i will check his speech later i was just trying to say you may be putting to much behind his presitge

although he is an payment expert ( on board of xoom as well,  online mobile payment company) your fair point is that there are tons of historic data that has shown that "experts" in any given field have constantly been very wrong on future assumptions within their own field ... hope this one will add

I hate to say it, but he makes very good points. On the other hand, Bernanke has spoken positively about bitcoin and the senate hearings went well... Also, I'd say he's probably kicking himself in the bottom for not investing in bitcoin early on. He is a VC after all...
