Comment(by phobos):

 Replying to [comment:10 cypherpunks]:
 > Had you accepted bitcoins a year ago, through any number of exchanges
 you could have received 1000 bitcoins in donations at $5/btc. Today, btc
 is worth $12.99/btc. A $5,000 donation turns into $12,990 for doing
 nothing but sitting on said donation in your btc wallet.

 Had we invested in AAPL or GOOG we also could get a great return. However,
 we're not talking about how Tor invests its money, we're talking about
 accepting credit/debit cards directly.

 Still working on dwolla and a payment processor or two.
