    Well you are paying more.

    You buy a bitcoin at £300 and a stereo costs £100 = 1/3 a bitcoin then an hour passes and suddenly a bitcoin only has a value of £100 now you have just used one whole bitcoin to purchase your goods. You my friend have just lost £200. Unless my grasp of economics is utterly flawed (which could quite easily be the truth)

    • This is how all currencies work - there's a reason we don't have ½p coins in circulation any more..detritus
    • ..just that bitcoin does this much quicker - but you'll agree a rate at point of purchase.detritus
    • It's the speed of change though which is at the centre of my worry sir.chossy
    • Sure, but what should one expect from the digital universe's first foray into an unencumbered currency?detritus
    • Godammit. Now my head is spinning and I've lost my logic.ESKEMA
