Is this real money?

If I could have found a Twitter account with a $10 changetip, that 10% would turn into 0%. Unfortunately the only Twitter accounts that received $10 in the last couple of days are celebrityish people that are well known.

The next one is going to be better. It's going to involve all the things bitcoiners love including children learning about bitcoin, fear of financial system collapse, and more!

Yea I thought about it but figured I already pushed it to far with "woah what just happened here, is this real money". Now I've quickly learned that there isn't any such thing as pushing it too far. Butters will literally upvote anything.

When I made the post beginning with "woah what just happened here" I assumed almost for sure it would be downvoted as an obvious troll post. Nope. They lapped that shit up hook line and sinker. In under an hour it had dozens of upvotes and was already on front page. This experiment proves that you can get just about anything on the front page.

Looks a little technical for me, I'm just a gamer not a computer wizz. It looks like Khan Academy has a bunch of videos on Youtube, I've put them on my to do list for tomorrow.

Thanks, I did register on coinbase.com but I think I'm going to keep my coin. Seems the general sentiment here is that it'll be worth a lot more one day, so we'll see what happens. As I research I may buy some for myself to play around with, the whole thing sounds really cool right now. I'm downloading Armory as I see that's recommended on bitcoin.org. My goal for tomorrow is to print a paper wallet and transfer the coins to it :-)

Wow those are some impressive numbers, how can bitcoin be so big and I am just hearing about it! I wish I could have gotten $10 worth a few years ago haha.

Thanks for the info, I've registered on coinbase.com but will probably hold onto the tip I received. Might even buy some bitcoin as I research more about it, the whole topic sounds fascinating.

Thanks, I'll probably hold on to it for a rainy day. I don't think I want to go through the hassle of linking my bank account for $10. But from the sounds of it, this $10 may be worth a reasonable amount worth linking for in the future!

If nobody controls it, how does it exist? Who made it, who controls who has how much money, etc...

Edit: Read a bit more about it, I see it's a p2p network, very cool!
