50$ for a t-shirt to "show your love for bitcoin"...yea pass

To clarify: the $50 is a direct donation to Fight for the Future, the non-profit organization behind Bitcoin Black Friday (http://www.bitcoinblackfriday.com/), and the t-shirt is just a donation reward!

I find it strange people are willing to buy things with BitCoin in general. It's like purchasing something with stock options of company which is rocketing up in (speculated) value. Vendors are obviously VERY interested in accepting BitCoin right now because they keep on earning money after the goods are sold. Wouldn't vendors immediately stop accepting it if the BC charts showed even a small decline in the BC value over a period of time? How about if it flat-lined?

It's a bubble... it's going to burst. Now is a great time to be spending it.

Exactly. Get rid of your fiat while you still can.

Not saying they do this but I always shudder at the use of "non-profit" when the CEO gets paid tons of money and they don't pay much if any taxes. So just because its a non-profit doesn't mean someone isn't making money.

I would, except I need it to pay my taxes. And so do 300 million other people.
