Saw his tweet earlier... It was pretty obvious all along that he would have something to do with Bitcoin :)

That's a lot of retweets, he's getting more on average than most politicians w/ similar numbers of followers. I admit, I retweeted it to my little crew as well. There should be a bitcoin following train where interested parties follow each other, I've seen libertarians do that to buff up their networks among like minds.

It must be related to his Mega.co.nz (popular file-sharing website) switching to bitcoin payments, after paypal decided to no longer process their payments.

yeah, I suspected that. I just don't understand why he said that's the last thing that bitcoin needs.
more adoption is always a good thing.

Kim Dotcom is so cool, I'm sure he's going to be doing something awesome with Bitcoin. Adding Bitcoin to Mega won't be big enough for him!

Not so sure about this, do not quite understand, I mean what kind of plan B here
Should be explained as well as what it means, so that people can somewhat understand the intent and purpose of the plan B

Kim Dotcom is trying to say the US dollar sucks and it is time to replace it with Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is 'Plan B".  I can't believe this has to be explained.  wtf?

Exactly this is what he pointed out with that pic :). I'm sure he has plans with BTC but this tweet probably isn't about that.

this sounds more like plan A, plan b should be something different, something that replace the primary object of bitcoin, which is replacing fiat(at least in my view)

It could be said yes or not, but I think it's not like that
What if this is just the opposite?

So, that's the meaning of the tweet
I guessed that means to remove BTCitcoin
But, instead the opposite of it ;D

Either plan A or B, deliberately needed a working plan. In Bitcoin I trust. Be ready with Plan C also.....

Ugh. He's going to bloat the blockchain up storing segmented pirated crap. In one respect, if he can pull off that technological feat, I'll give him credit. But then again, he's pirating stuff. I guess Bitcoin can only become what it'll become. That's how you test it's staying power. You gotta let him do his thing with our thing, otherwise we just don't know if Bitcoin is really here to stay. Again, I'm not condoning illegal stuff.

Facilitating uploads is not pirating. That is as much pirating a boatconstructor, canon manufacturer or parrot salesman would do in the time of pirates. I'ts like I'm selling you a brick, you kill someone with it and now I am the murderer...

sure, if only one guy bought killing bricks from you it's all fine. if thousands of people bought your special bricks and uses them for killing makes it a different story. your bricks business will become a resource center for murderers

just to be clear, I'm on the neutral on this pirating thing.

Exsmactly. Or imagine if every last one of the big wigs running the Bitcoin show had intentions as crooked as those two Federal agents that just got busted. Man, this whole circus would go down. Thus, keep a weary eye on KimDotCom, but don't prevent him from using Bitcoin.

If there is going to be plan B then there supposedly should have plan A. So can I presume that since he is a bitcoin bull the previous price hike that we saw the price rally close to 300 has something to do with plan A


Title: Re: It's time for Plan B. #Bitcoin
Post by: adworker on April 01, 2015, 01:34:16 PM
I guess plan A was accepting Paypal/MC/Visa.
After plan A failed, plan B (Bitcoin) is on.

Really true Bitcoin believer, the one who preffer Bitcoin because it is better not because it is the last option left  ;D

Kim Dotcom has been involved with Bitcoin before. In fact, I think MEGA does accept bitcoin for payments. Maybe they will be only accepting Bitcoin exclusively? I can't see how this would be good for business, but it might be his only option.

same thing. if murderers still buys killing bricks from that business, the said business can be viewed as a source of all the bricks that was used as a murder weapon. and the authorities might be compelled to close that business in order to lessen the murders

Bitcoin reputation is already tarnished and general public believe bitcoin is nothing but another hacker's tool created only to evade bank transfers and execute illegal transactions that way.
We can't really deny that something like that is happening but mass media seem see only the dark side of bitcoin. And I don't understand how they can condemn currency? I is just as you would say that dollar is evil
because you can buy drugs for dollars.

I'd like to sey the murders will decrease a little... but probably they wouldn't because the only thing they're looking for is bricks...  :-X

it's a different matter if they're looking for all kinds of different pirated software, though.

It might be a good pr to bitcoin, but as always, bitcoin is already tainted with dark crimes and is always related to different online crimes or even in real life. I agree that Kim Dotcom is a nice person, and is also a well-known figure in the internet. If he can use some of his connections to enter and use bitcoin, his so-called "Plan B" might be good after all.

Plan B= Plan bitcoin.

Blockchain file sharing, then again I doubt he wants to bloat the blockchain.
