    Greece can't ease or tighten monetary policy on the Euro like we can with the Dollar.

    Still going down in value. Still over leveraged. Still corrupt

    Not sure what anyone has left to argue. Just typing grade school economics for **** sake

    You probably shouldn't talk about long term when defending Bitcoin and making claims it's better and more safe than other currency. No one knows how Bitcoin will develop and it doesn't have any history.

    We artificially control demand for the dollar by forcing everyone to buy oil in dollars.

    Petro dollar is real dawg.

    a true advance in technology.. learn something about how it works instead of looking at the news, the price, and what your peers tell you.

    yea you know how sick ppl are of that.. now that there are real options the almighty god dollar is on increasingly shaky foundation.

    bitcoins will move your precious USD (universally shaky debt) around better than anything that has ever existed or will exist because improvements are made on the same protocol and hardware network

    its ok... dont be scared

    take a dip in the pool.. learn how to swim

    Bitcoins will move the USD?

    Doubt it. USD moves on other macroeconomic factors.

    yeah it'll move it.. down. bitcoin IS a macroeconomic factor.

    but I just meant it can move it from A to B very efficiently

    No reason why a wwl would hurt the USD.
