Thank you for making a bitcoin discussion thread.
I like the concept of bitcoin. I have lots of money but I can't spend it online because I don't have a credit card or PayPal account. Bitcoin solves that problem, it's essentially online cash meaning that if used properly it's completely anonymous.
Bitcoin (if used properly) cannot be taxed by authorities which could be a problem. Some people even claim it could overthrow the government. Bitcoin cannot be enforced by the government if it's used properly.
