Mt. Goz, the largest BitCoin exchange has shut down their website and the office is vacated. Does not sound good for BC owners.

That's 'cause you're not doing it right. Ask Bill and Monica how it's done.

Last year looking for land to buy i came upon a property in Wasington state.
It was next to a beautiful river had a nice gravel drive way and mountains in the back ground.
Little house 1100sf and covered garage area nice landscaping..
The guy had it for sale for these Bitcoins.
Had to look them up and see what they were.

Hmmm…. An alternative to the fiat US Federal Reserve note that is backed by even less. What could possibly go wrong?
