What's a Bitcoin? Or Darkweb?

Ok I looked both up and from my 5 seconds of reading:

1. Dark web is the part of the internet which is not easily accessible. The current part found through searches, is a bit like skimming the ocean with a net, just getting the top parts, and there is a lot more 'out there' that either is hard to find or doesn't want to be found or both.
2. Bit coins are a digital open currency used to purchase items through the above.

Notwithstanding #1, I could see Bit coins being a very cool way to buy things (legitimately) and easier than paypal as there are virtually no fees apparently.

Bitcoins are Internet Bubble 3.0. Just looking at the way the exchange rate curve with the dollar develops (exponentially) gives me a headache.

Looks to me like a classic bubble. Caveat emptor

Wow, one more way internet "geniuses" have figured out a way to get real money out of nothing-

Yes, it seems the new Amrican dream is to make money without doing any real work. Changing right before our eyes.

We have that in the U.K, it's called the housing market. A bubble waiting to burst if ever there was one.

It did that here in 07-08'

It would have over here if the Government had not interfered. It's all going to end in tears.

I guess I would except bitcoins. But just remember that money is dirty so you really should keep it away from your mouth. Not to mention you could damage your teeth if you bite them.
