So 50 Cent accepted BC payment in 2014 for his new album at the time. 700 BC in sales worth $400K at the time. Now it's between $7-$8.5 Mill -- (link) - Remlik Jan 23, 13:32

"BTC has evolved to become an asset rather than a currency" If that's the case, it has no value. -- (edited) - Trans-SiBaron Orchestra Jan 23, 12:06
The long transaction times are becoming a problem with a lot of organizations. -- nm - David Jan 23, 11:59 10

  - Yeah, he's wrong. It happens. -- nm - David Jan 23, 12:05 2
    - Asset sounds closer than currency right now. Would you take out a loan in bitcoin? -- nm - Roger More Jan 23, 13:36 1
      - Maybe? Inflation is good for borrowers. -- nm - Reagen Jan 23, 13:57

  - Could also be the 4 Whiskey Sours you had at lunch -- nm - amoxy - 2017 Caveman Champion Jan 23, 12:02 1
    - that 4th one was mostly ice. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 23, 12:04
