Can you short sell them? Because it seems a little like a pyramid scheme.

It's not a pyramid scheme...it's just a standard speculative bubble. I'm not sure where you can short them but now wouldn't be a bad time to do it.

Got to my street-parked car to see some chod clipped it overnight. Wish I could pay those deductibles in biweekly increments like the wage tax

Is Buzzfeed the worst looking major site on the internet? Why does website design seem to be taking giant steps backwards over the last few years?

so much talent out on the streets of philly today

Bitcoins were invented as a secure, internet-based digital currency, not affiliated with any country.

They're supposedly actually usable to buy things at some places but such places are so few and far between that their only real value at the moment is as a speculative investment.

Make sure you hide, freeze in a block of ice, cancel, or just don't use your credit cards anymore. I haven't used a credit card in 4 years or so. Pay for everything in cash, it was pretty hard to get used to doing, but after a while, it's just what we do now. We've paid everything off and now we don't owe anyone anything, our only bills are rent, utilities, cell phone and car insurance. We keep making the payments we were making but to ourselves, so now it goes into a vacation savings or whatever.

If your'e that financially responsible, you're exactly the kind of person who should be using credit cards to maintain your credit score and for the rewards. Why not get a basic BoA card that does 1% on everything, 2% groceries, 3% gas? It's an easy free couple hundred a year.

I use a credit card for literally everything possible and pay it off every month. I'm probably about to put a shitload of stuff on one for apartment furniture/wares.

Yeah, I work for a Goliath national bank so I get an even better deal then that, I have one I just don't use it. In my 20's I had so much fucking debt all the time now that I have none, it just makes me feel free. I don't really care about the rewards, I know I can get cash back and all that shit, but I get it on my debit card too, I'd get more on the credit card, but it's just not worth it to me for the hassle.

Changing subjects, I switched to a Roth 401k this year. Can't wait to retire tax free birches.

Frequent cc user myself. How do people accumulate so much debt on them? I've never missed a payment, though it's rarely more than a few hundred each month.

bitcoins are used to buy drugs on the internet black market, a little place called silk road. it actually works, my friend ordered some hash oil, among other things, from there

Yeah this is mostly what they're for now, really.

asked this earlier-which one are you using? would love to know what you think the best deal is as i look to get one to simply pay back loans that i am already paying off.

i use chase freedom. had a good sign up bonus back then. use creditkarma.com to find a card that suits your needs. tons of good cards out there with a sign up bonus, 0% intro apr for 15 months, rewards/cash back and no annual fee.

how bad is your loan interest? paying it with a cc is pretty risky.

Got one of those jury duty things--since I live in a rural area, I'll be part of the potential jury pool for 6 months, but a lawyer friend of mine says there may not be any trials in that time. Besides, I've worked with the prosecutor and the judge, so I've got a feeling I'm not going to actually be on any juries.
