<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As the resident fool on this list, I like the
Russian spy who also was on this list, we read it every day but seldom if
ever post. I have gotten great reads, books, and found out that the god-particle
was once called the god-particle-vulture. I should note that the publisher
thought more books would be sold with the former. Most of what I do
post, no if fact all that I do post , can not be cited or verified, it just
opinion without research or thought. Thank god I seldom have opinions of what is
discussed on this list as the junk I would post would have you ask that a doctor
be sent to my door as quickly as possible. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, bitcoins, well that is something I have an
opinion "bigtime", because I own gold as a hedge against either
the euro or the dollar or japan yen from falling into the ocean. So when
the gold miners stock price dropped over 35% since the first of the year I have
had to make a decision, should I buy more or has the story of Gold as a hedge
changed. There have been small hints in the people conversations
,people who live and die stocks bonds and currencies, that gold maybe is being
effective attacked by bitcoins. If it has gotten to this list ,well that's
a case in point in it's favor, and now instead of maybe people are
saying not just gold but all the currencies of the world are under attack by
this INTERNET whatever. Whenever a Avalon mining computer lists for 1200
and is completely sold out in 2 hours, and then the same Avalon computer sells
for 20K on eBay the next day, the canary in the coal mine just died. When
the price goes from 100 to 180 in five days, that does get your
attention. Here is just a fool's view. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have been attacked and conquered four times
on the internet, I have gotten letters from my BANK from AUTO PARTS
STORES from my HORSE Racing account and finally a Mag that I read monthy. All
were attacked all have given up my information and all they have said we are
sorry and we will do better next time. I have had geeks I know , who lost
money with Bitcoins in the early days2009 , not a allot, but going to zero hurts
a great deal. I know that the CIA is trying to hire "bigtime" Grads in
computer security. I know that Black berry less than 2 years ago went down for
two days. no phones no emails no internet connection. I know that the countries
like china and others are attacking American computer systems looking for
holes. I know that Amazon has moved warehouses not to pay taxes, only to
have the new locations demand that they pay taxes when they set up shop. But all
of that can be conquered, That's not true. Without the ability to
Tax all government's fall. And more important the internet is just a few
trunk lines that can be ripped up with a common ordinary buzz saw.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All of us are already know that governments will
take your gold, your house, your money in the bank, but they also keep a
lid on what would happen without them. Bitcoins will only work when the
Government is ready to fall, it would have worked in Russia in 1997 when the
Gov't defaulted and the rouble was used for toilet paper, but to you think China
or the Europe, or Japan, or the US is going to allow that to happen. If it
becomes a problem bitcoins, the buzz saw of gov't will eliminate it. If bitcoins
do overcome I suggest you sell them and use the proceeds to purchase a glock 19
carry's a mag of 15 bullets, because you will need all them to protect you
life.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Gold has a 2000 year history, Bitcoins as a unit of
currency will fail only because the government's of this world rule the
internet, and when it is threaten it will turn off the machine, if you think
otherwise as the is always two sides to a trade buyer and seller, buy them
bitcoins as you are in on the ground floor, and the sky is the limit. Are you a
buyer or a seller at 180, what is your opinion:)</FONT></DIV>
