Another demonstration of the power of Bitcoin: Craigslist

As a long time Bitcoin enthusiast, I never appreciated the fraud protection Bitcoin provides until I had to move. I posted several items on Craigslist and was overwhelmed with scammers.

Some of the scams aren't even obvious, for instance: "Give me your name and address and I'll send you a cashier's check. Once the check clears, I'll send a mover to pick up the item".

Anyways, simply requesting payment in bitcoin and providing an address ends all the games immediately. I don't need to provide any sensitive information and payment is immediately obvious.

I love bitcoin.
