    Buying BitCoins from Hong Kong

    Does anybody here have experience acquiring BitCoins from Hong Kong? I know there is the official info but I was wondering if there is a way with a local bank account or local sellers etc...

    Alternatively I have a European bank account so I am considering a way where I could use a SEPA bank transfer.

    Why should gummints have all the fun?
    Fiat currency from a bunch of nerds is just as good as fiat currency from bankrupt gummints.

    I'm waiting for gold to hit $2000 and then I will move my life savings to that. Until then the mattress is king.

    It is a fully convertible currency that can be bought and sold online at various exchanges. At one point, the exchange rate went up to crazy bubble levels and then came crashing down. It seems to have settled around 6 (against USD) for now.

    There are a number of places to spend this currency but not that many which makes it not as useful as it could be.

    Google can give you all kinds of information about it..
