Just heard Polis on CNBC talking about the benefits and he was asked about investing in bitcoins... His answer "No, people shouldn't invest.. They should transfer dollars into bitcoins in order to complete a transaction"
So wtf is the point of transferring $ to bitcoin to complete a transaction when I can just use my Amex to do the same fricking things???

The bitcoin ATM manufacturing company, Robocoin, has been invited by Congressman Jared Polis to the United States Capitol Hill to do a presentation about its machines. This is a great development between the government and the digital currency known as bitcoin.
This momentous event will take place on April 8, from 4:00-7:00 P.M in the Rayburn House Office Building. The bitcoin ATM manufacturing company will bring its hardware and supplies to the capitol office. There, it will demonstrate the device to the rest of congress and other officials who will attend the event. A question and answer session will also be hosted by the company. Furthermore, Congressman Polis will also speak at the event.
