Bitcoin is very similar to TCP/IP, and its network effect much, much stronger.

Except you didn't invest in TCP/IP, which is as free to use as Bitcoin code. You invested in

-snip-

We invested in Microsoft? I thought it was the other way around? Didn't MS start adopting Bitcoin just recently?

No, you did not invest in Microsoft, and Microsoft didn't invest in you.
Your pic shows that Microsoft is accepting dollars through a payment processor--that's not an investment.
Basic misunderstandings such as the one I've just cleared up are likely responsible for finance enthusiasts such as yourself "investing" in BTC Undecided

Microsoft is "invested" in Bitcoin for the long haul:

You don't understand how life works.
It costs Microsoft nothing to humor you Bitcoiners with rosy PR, and look--you've already paid them for doing it

I think it's the other way around. I'm not sure you understand how things or life works in general.

Why would a multi billion dollar conglomerate like Microsoft have to pander to such an insignificant currency as Bitcoin and such a small minority of users like us Bitcoiners?

So they're using a payment processor. So what? They immediately convert fiat, we know! Tongue

They're definitely not hurting or needy for these measly sales.

I'm pretty sure they're way smarter than you, and know a thing or two about tech and business, than NotLambChop.
