Title: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION FOR ME?
Post by: tenkroo on April 02, 2013, 05:07 pm
I have been noticing this for the past 9 months I have been a member on the Silk Road. So... My question is this:

Why is it, that whenever I leave Bitcoins on my Silk Road account, I will have more USD when I log back on a day later?

I would really appreciate it if someone could answer this for me. Thanks

Bitcoins are increasing in value every day. Prices on SR are pegged to USD and the price in BTC keeps decreasing if you haven't noticed. Buy bitcoins now while they're cheap and spend later!

Are you sure they are decreasing? I just left 96 bucks on my account last night, logged on today: 105 bucks.

And I left 109 dollars on my account three weeks ago. Logged on this week, 203 dollars.

It's so strange! Thats what inclined me to ask.

Because the value of bitcoin is rising ... so if you had 3 bitcoins a month ago, you'll still have 3 bitcoins today but they'll be worth more USD.

So is it a safe bet to say they will keep increasing? So if I was to get say... 800 dollars in bitcoin, could I expect to see significant gains in USD?

I'm not about to give advice on that!  I have no idea.  Regardless, since we answered the initial Customer Support question, I'll go ahead and lock this thread.
