Yes, but we have no idea how the old site was. A blog post explaining everything would have been more appropriate.

It wasn't meant to be misleading. It was meant to be funny. There was another post here about how Bitcoins went down $10. By the time I saw the post it already went back up. So... yeah, I just posted it more as a response to that other post.

Of course it's a bubble. But like all bubbles, some people will profit greatly if they know when to get out of it. It's a gamble.

Is freedom a bubble? There is tremendous value in freedom. Bitcoin provides this in abundance. Like P2P filesharing, no amount of legislation and regulation will wrest control of it back into the hands of the government and financial institutions - it will only continue to be embraced as public awareness grows.

It's not a bubble, it's a snowball - at least in the long run.

Whooo, easy. I'm not arguing with anyone. Yes, I could be wrong. But what will happen if an alternative to Bitcoin shows-up. Or 10. Won't that bring the price down? You have to admit, this "freedom" is kind of hard to control at the moment and it's moodier then a women. It crashed before and it can happen again. I'm not against or for it at the moment(maybe slightly the second), I'm just waiting to see what will happen.

Now worries - I didn't mean to sound argumentative and I agree with you that in the short run bubbles form. ^_^

Though, I would say freedom is not just _hard_ to control - it's impossible by definition. Freedom is not a short term thing, it's a long term outcome - it's the low energy state that's thermodynamically favored. Eventually the world will be a truly efficient, democratic, free society. But, it takes time and catalysis to get there.

Bitcoin is a catalyst for freedom. It or something like it will be adopted.

My gut tells me bitcoins are here to stay.

No one mentioned about the URL. Ok, I'll mention it :)

Thanks, thought I was the only one :)

I posted this just because I found it very funny that the price went down and then up and people started already writing about it. Maybe I'm the only one seeing the humor in it.

It shed 25% of its worth just as quickly.

"This time it's different."

I'm pretty sure that's the point ...

That's nice and all, but a 60 Watt bulb is still not bright enough for my taste. I have never used old 60W bulbs exactly for this reason. I always feel like I'm struggling to see things with those bulbs.

This is why you shouldn't use GeoCities or MySpace. </sarcasm> Just because a single website is shutting down doesn't mean you should spend extra time installing stuff on your own. I disagree with the article.

I always save my bookmarks in Firefox. To make sure I don't lose them next time I reinstall Windows I use an add-on called FEBE that backs-up all my bookmarks(among other things) into a directory. Next time I have a vanilla Firefox I reinstall FEBE and import all my bookmarks. I really don't need to spend the extra time to go see another website. Another trick I use is to delete the bookmark name and only leave the favicon to showup. It saves space and I'm only one click away from my favorite website.

If you tried other services and returned to Chrome then it seems you're looking for a specific feature and you're not finding it, but you also didn't tell us what it is.

Just use Chrome and try to categorize your bookmarks as best you can.

Here is a simple(and a bit ugly) website that lets you bookmark sites. I don't use it but I recommended it before and some people seemed to like it: http://fav20.ro/
