    It's virtual money. Basically all money is virtual. The coins and notes we handle are technically not money, but tokens of promise to give someone virtual money.

    Bitcoins is like that, but it has not paper or metal promises. It's all digital.

    Whereas 'normal' money can be forged, bitcoins possibly can't. I say possibly because every so call impenetrable system gets breached sooner or later. It uses magic like cryptography and checksums and other cyber witchery that is supposed to make them impossible to copy.

                  Ok so you have to buy bitcoins to get started?
                  With a credit card :biggrin:

                  If you dont supply any goods or services to any one that pays you in bitcoin you then end up having to purchase more.
                  With a credit card.

                  Seems like a really good idea:scratch:

                          You mine for it :biggrin:
                          "With Bitcoin, miners use special software to solve math problems and are issued a certain number of bitcoins in exchange. This provides a smart way to issue the currency and also creates an incentive for more people to mine."
                          Bitcoins is the currency of choice for drug dealers. I think PayPal is the safest way for me , unless you can introduce a barter button .
