Have you seen them advertise in BTC prices ANYWHERE? (i mean advertise, not tell you what the exchange rate is at time of purchase)

Why don't BFL fan boys read before they post 100 times same stupid argument? It has been answered and proof shown 100 times!

Why do people not get this? It was NOT priced in bitcoins!!! Here's an example of what did NOT happen...

You are wrong!!!
It WAS and still IS priced in bitcoins as well. I don't give wishful examples. I give proof!

That is not pricing in Bitcoins. That is asking for payment in Bitcoins in an amount equivalent to the USD pricing.

Im out of here, you're just straight trolling at this point

If they do that they should buy an options for buying bitcoins as an insurance like serious companies do, but 1st is it possible with bitcoins, and if it is, how expensive, and are they so serious company?

It is simple. If you can't afford and you can't manage bitcoin exchange rate risk you should not accept bitcoin payments.

Bitcoin is amazing. Bitcoin payments unmistakably expose every merchant scam. You can't treat people as customers when accepting their bitcoin payments and later treat them as investors when refunding their purchases! The very nature of bitcoin won't allow shady commercial practices.

This debate is just stupid. If you wanted to return a $9.99 shirt to walmart, and the value of the USD had dropped 1% in the prior week, would you therefore demand they pay you back $10.09 (101%) of your purchase price? Get real.

this space intentionally left blank

This thread, aside from all the asshattery,
provides valuable education regarding the
old discussion of whether BTC are a means
to store value vs a means to move value.

What you've done is a blatant violation of every code of ethics for forum moderation!

No, it's not. He corrected a blatantly wrong and sue-worthy thread title into something objectively correct in order to protect both the forum (from lawyers) and its users (from misinformation). His action is in fact one of only two correct moves a moderator of any moderately sized board can and should take in this circumstance (the other is deletion/removal of the offending thread).

To be fair, hosts/owners of forums are 100% protected from lawsuit of libel/slander when said libel/slander is made by users of the forum. Website admins cannot be held liable for user-posted content, UNLESS it is court-ordered that they take it down and they do not comply.

At least, that is the law how I understand it.

People gave BFL coin— if the value of the coin went down (potentially to zero) you would still be demanding to receive valuable mining hardware.

There is a major contradiction in your statement. If the value of the bitcoin went down to zero then value of the "valuable mining hardware" will be zero as well.

So if you buy a factory that makes cheese, and you pay for it with cheese, and the value of cheese goes to zero, the value of your cheese factory is zero as well?

You can get a $ refund, correct?

I guess I can get both US dollars and Zimbabwean dollars if I want to?
But people didn't pay in $. They paid in bitcoins and want bitcoin refunds.

If they do that they should buy an options for buying bitcoins as an insurance like serious companies do, but 1st is it possible with bitcoins, and if it is, how expensive, and are they so serious company?

Mahatma Gandhi - "First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win."

First off, it's a fake quote Gandhi never said.

Second, what's more appropriate in your case is Bozo the Clown. "First, they laugh at you. Then, they laugh at you some more. Then they keep laughing. Because you're stupid."
