Why are you all trying to use bitcoin like money? Bitcoin is for profit, like an investment. If you make a few thousand on your investment you pay a brokerage fee (exchange fee, transaction fee) to sell it. Big fucking deal! Stop trying to use bitcoin to buy shit! Hold it until youre ready to sell and make your profit.
Stop bitching about transaction fees and delays. Google wallet is free and fast. Go use that to buy shit instead of bitcoin.
