Yep, it really is a no-brainer, no intelligent company should ever accept unestablished and non-govenment backed currency (even though the physical AND virtual value of those government backed bills are faith-based at best).

maybe in 10-20 years, if bitcoins are still "stable" and carry a predictable and consistent value, CCP can consider it.

whats that? they arent stable, and vary wildly in value NOW? well, then i guess HELL NO.

Yes, the game does cost money to run...

Did you get your economics education the same place as your spelling skills?

In today's world economy any fiat currency (and they all are) has no intrinsic value and is thus susceptible to fluctuation and even collapse. Virtual decentralized and non-government attached units of value for trade would be of great benefit in continuing your "virtual existence" whilst all the rest of the worlds currencies spiral into collapse. Don't you want to be able to still play EVE from your bunker?

Nothing in today's hyper connected world takes 10-20 years to either improve or decay. Most experts are saying that Bitcoin will prove itself somewhere between 12-18 months.

You can determine a exchange rate based on fluctuating market values; have you heard of Forex, do you know how currencies are traded?

Hi, I'm issuing a fiat currency, The Callduron. It's being announced here as a world exclusive.

I'd like CCP to accept 30 Calldurons (worth $30) per month instead of charging me real money to play Eve.

Let me know, tia.

I dont think I call it a Ponzi scheme but them gold selling commercials targeting old people on CNN sure are a scam :-P

The more gold we buy at Cash4Gold pawns and sell overpriced on TV ads the more the commodity goes up, till no one buys it anymore cuz we soaked up all the retirement funds into gold, and it drops back down to a more "true" (term used loosely) value

Smart though


I'd still guess that a few of the gold sellers from TV pushed to far and risked to much and got hurt from the current gold prices dropping.... all part of the game


To the OP, yeah no..... your cyber money is worth even less than carbon credits, and thats sad because Carbon Creds are worth ****

Do you actually know what DDoS is?

I have been involved in network engineering since dial up and isdn lines were the only mass connection options available to non businesses. so yes, I am VERY aware what a DDoS is, http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/10/bitcoin-crash/

the primary market for bitcoin trades is online only, and does not have the infrastructure stability of the major trading markets. The currency is not backed by any financial or governmental entity, it is purely the bittorrrent of ponzi marketing, perhaps they should have called it Scamway.

i support this because as a leader of an alliance skilled at separating morons from their money, bitcoin offers a rich vein of untapped morons that will spigot more isk than tech moons ever did

I am sure that would depend on whether you accept Calldurons.

I'd rather invest in tinned food, firearms, medical supplies, books on agriculture, farming tools, seeds and construction equipment.

"Precious" metals are only that way because humans like shiny rocks - if the world goes so bad that money becomes worthless, a years' worth of food is worth more than it's weight in gold. The equpiment and knowledge to grow more reliably, priceless.

Edit: Also, lol bitcoins. EVE Online ISK is a more stable currency than bitcoin, and we can print ISK by shooting little red crosses with a spaceship.
