I work form home and have CNBC on all day, I'm very well caught up with all that. It changes nothing for me.
Whenever there is money to be made there will always be a company or somene to perpetuate it, so if the CME wants to do that more power to them.

True but it shows at least to me that there is belief in the system and that it has even more potential to make money for us all

Delta Airlines? Yeah, they could go bankrupt when bitcoin loses 50% of it's value. What goes up must come down. This is a bubble and all the people who missed out are driving the price up. Sooner or later they will want to cash in for real currency, then, wham, it'll crash and fast.
Bitcoin is already being used in very legitimate business, a simple google search shows this. Also people have bought cars with bitcoin, Tesla and Lamborghini have sold cars with bitcoin. It really doesn’t matter if someone pays with bitcoin, you simply sell the coins for the money. In the example of Tesla, it sold for 91.4 bitcoin, it was then simply converted into cash. If the business wants to hold the coin for the risk that’s on them, if they want the money now they simply sell the coin.
To say it will never be a valid form of currency is just not true.
Bitcoin will launched to nasdaq soon...

I can even donate to save the children with bitcoin...

Really don't know anything about it and neither do 7.59 billion other people in the world...and that'll be the problem. May be a niche currency but that'll be about it methinks.
What you do have going for you is the very fact that I choose not to get involved with Bitcoins...because I generally make the wrong choice.

While I know Bitcoin is different is like anything else . No one say Amazon being what it is today, or Google, or Facebook etc. They all started as a '?"it's never going to be a xxx." And all those who didn't get in regret it

Those are public companies with tangible assets, they provide services, earn money, return value on their shares etc. Not some mythical alleged "bitcoin" out in cyber space some where worth something because someone says it is.
The only reason bitcoin goes up in value is because some people are willing to chase a profit. Just like a pyramid, last in always loses.

Steam no longer accepts bitcoin for game purchases

Have you been stockpiling bitcoin to go on a Steam shopping spree? You'll need to change your plans. Valve has stopped accepting bitcoin due to a combination of high transaction costs (up from 20 cents in the beginning to $20) and "volatility" in the cryptocurrency's value. While the virtual cash has never been especially stable, its worth has taken a roller coaster ride over the past few months. Its value has been skyrocketing lately (one bitcoin is worth $13,300 US as of this writing), but it has also crashed hard -- Valve cited a 25 percent drop "over a period of days" as an example. That fluctuation creates a huge problem if you make a purchase and it doesn't complete before the usual bitcoin price guarantee elapses, as you may have to pay an outstanding balance and a second transaction fee.
Valve isn't completely ruling out a return to bitcoin in the future, although it's clear that won't happen unless bitcoin settles down. There's no mention of opening the door to Ethereum and other digital currencies, either. And no matter what, this underscores a very real problem for cryptocurrency no matter the format. Retailers need predictable costs and payments to run their businesses, and they may be loathe to support technology like bitcoin if it leads to unpaid debts and unhappy customers.

Wait, what? Steam actually supported Bitcoin as a form of payment? wow, I actually never knew that!

Re: Do you own any Bitcoin?
I think cryptocurrencies could be a good investment if you started buying them a few years ago. Recently I found an interesting article about Cryptocurrencies for Gambling as a popular alternative to making casino gambling transactions. I like to gamble from time to time and I think it's an interesting opportunity for those who want to get more bitcoins to their wallets.

Re: Do you own any Bitcoin?
I have bitcoins and some other cryptocurrencies, but I trade on https://bitniex.com/exchange exchange to make a profit every day. I chose this exchange because there are really low fees (https://bitniex.com/fees) and large trading volumes. Does anyone have any experience with real trading?
