Title: Can you buy half a bitcoin?
Post by: leeland2121 on April 10, 2013, 06:14 am
I'm brand new to the Silk Road and  Bit Coin usage. It seems on mt gox that just one bit coin goes for an average of $220. Is it possible for me to buy half of, or less than a bit coin from gox?

You can buy any dollar amount in bitcoin, it will just convert to the appropriate value. So, for current rates, if you purchase $110 worth of bitcoins (excusing any fees), it would be .5 BTC.

Depends on where you buy, but they will generally have a minimum in real money ($20 for mine), which is way less than half a bit coin. So yes, yes you can :)
