Thanks darbsllim I'll take a look.

Ardant I already work for $ my point is that bitcoin is intended to be a currency, a 'coin' not a 'share'. Thus fair I see the price of bitcoin is being driven by pure speculation not by actual use.

If the employer was generating profit in USD and only had USD then yes they would have currency risk. However my thought is this, some folks do have thousands of BTC, others millions for them there is no currency risk. I'm not interested in converting for USD to BTC or BTC to USD.

What I want to do is earn BitCoin's and use said coin to purchase goods from others who except bitcoin in exchange for goods or services. Exchanging currency does not promote the BTC economy, it promotes speculation and perhaps money laundering both of which I feel will be detrimental to the long term success of bitcoin.
