Wondering when you'd stumble across that...
We've been talking about bitcoin for years on here, at least since the big spike... But there are too many trade jockeys on here like stockfire that think they know everything there is to know about money and keep stirring up arguments, so I decided to make that thread a month ago to set the record straight.
Even still, among us anarchists on here, there is still a lot of controversy about the ability for bitcoin to last. Our resident economics guru (Guerilla, who doesn't like to be called a guru

) doesn't think it can last simply because bitcoin isn't a commodity.
However I've argued that our need for a government-free currency gives it a value like a commodity anyway, so it might just be one afterall. Like crackp0t says above, software has value, so I can see how Bitcoins do too... But Guerilla isn't budging. Do you have any logs to throw on that fire?
