Bitcoin crashes over 25% in 24 hours, under $180
Yeah, as much as I like the concept of bitcoin (and the blockchain), I don't see adoption becoming anything more than anecdotal.No interest rate, and you have to secure it yourself? No thanks. My "big bad bank" guarantees me at least a small interest in saving money, and if my card is stolen, I get a new one in 24 hours and all transactions are cancelled. I'm happy to pay some transaction fees ("extortion!") to get that kind of insurance.Bitcoin is the electronic version of "let's buy a lot of gold and stash it somewhere".EDIT: Burn karma, burn. Ah well.
