Dear jhunter,
My search turns up no coinbase hacks over the period agreed upon. I therefore smugly submit the avatar you are to sport for the next 7 days

Very well then. A bet's a bet, after all.

Just because a tool is used for evil, it does not make the tool itself evil.
So this is not intended to say, "Bitcoin is bad because of this."
It's just that this seems the right place to show it.

So you are now defending the swiss banking industry? Dodging taxes was the entire point of that as well.

Indeed. Part of the allure of the much-ballyhooed "anonymity" is the ability to evade taxes; however, as the Silk Road case has demonstrated, BTC is not nearly as anonymous as advertised.

Seems pretty clear to me. They just want debate points for this nitpick about the article calling it a currency.

It's clear enough to you, and to me, but apparently not to the target audience.

I don't see what my post has to do with dodging taxes. You have to look at the image to see what my text was referring to.

Oh, the bet was specific to coinbase.com?
Nevermind.

I think that catsmate posted about that upthread. Another example of just how safe and secure Bitcoin exchanges are (that is to say, not very).

Jeez! This has been going on for nearly 2 pages now. Is it really a crime to observe that the articles called bitcoin a currency?
Get over it people!

Nice to see you distinguish between bitcoin and bitcoin exchanges.
And it Bitstamp (supposedly one of the better exchanges) runs into trouble then that would explain the sudden drop in bitcoin prices in the last few days.

Oh, is that all you did ? I was under the non-mistaken impression that you used that as some sort of argument against BTC's detractors.
So how'd that work out for you?

Seems I was a little too specific (see catsmate's post above).
Right. Specificity requires knowledge.
