Kim Dotcom : " Let's give Bitcoin a boost "

[Madness]

So ,
Seems like Paypal and MasterCard has stopped doing business with MEGA (File uploading & sharing provider)

Kim Dotcom tweeted : "I like to thank @Paypal for backing #Mega for such a long time. The pressure from Hollywood and the US Government was simply too much."
So he decided to switch from those payment methods to Bitcoin and give a boost .



I personally think that it's a great oppurtunity for Bitcoin , what do you guys think ?

This is great news. I bet Kim has some epic stuff planned for BTC. Very bullish sign IMO.

Kim DotCom is a disgusting bloated fat pig.  He peddles in illegal stolen wares.  He profits from the illicit use of other people's creations.  Most around here don't like copyright, but it remains legitimate law.  Nerds love 'free' movies, but it is killing the people who produce movies just like the music industry.

Do we really need to have bitcoin involved in more criminal uses?  Do we really want to associate bitcoin as this go to tool for assholes who want to steal?  

Bitcoin will be great as soon as we get rid of the anarchy assholes think its primary use is to traverse the law.


Kim Schmitz is merely a dirty filthbag.  I don't accept him as an ambassador for Bitcoin.

Woow, this is a real fantastic news and also a great advertising for bitcoin. Maybe we should ask him to join this forum, what do you think ?

The music industry must reinvent itself if it does not want to disappear. Sell DVD and Blue Ray is idiocy.
See the example of Iron Maiden who think that the "most pirated is better" and focuses on profit from shows.

Is this the reason we have been seeing the price rise today
I see no other news having come out today ,except for this.

[saddampbuh]

i got a lot of respect for this guy, haven't paid to see a movie in 10 years thanks to pioneers like him

[cellard]

Amazing. Wherever Kim is supporting, that means lots of money. This guy is a great entrepreneur, even tho I don't like his idea of a decentralized internet when maid can do it better.

Doesn't sound right to me...People will start to associate bitcoin with underground activities or that's the way how I look at it. So does that in any way connected to which can explain the recent bitcoin price going up?

[arvindr]

It's a good storage method for online storage, I don't see why people are freaking out.

Well thats for only Megaupload. But they have a lot of future plans. His previous tweets were about a blockchain based internet and couple of other things.
Check his tweets from the past.

People (mostly average joes) already associate Bitcoin with underground and or illegal activities.

I think there is a certain need for the service that Kim offers.

I would want to see him get his service to a point that everything is decentralized.

lol  Bragging about stealing on a public forum.  

It is only because it is difficult to prosecute that you and others somehow think it is 'OK'.

It's a good storage method for online storage, I don't see why people are freaking out.

Sure it is! 

Let's face it: it is a movie distribution system where Kim keeps that money you pay and the creators of the movies get nothing.

Are you sure that he don't care about Copyrights and stuff ? Maybe in Megaupload but on MEGA he does and do care about privacy also that's why it's fully encrypted and NSA can't spy .
For Copyrights violation .. last time someone uploaded "The Interview" the movie of sony leaked to MEGA . few hours ago it got deleted how do you explain that . (Yes deleted by MEGA)

Let lawyers at courts work out what is legal and what is not, but in meantime blocking payments is pretty stupid. Luckily Bitcoin is open to everyone, unlike all other centralized paying systems.

may be yes . now is wait to see how this will be in the next few weeks.
