Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: Endgame on August 18, 2012, 01:11:32 PM For some reason its more tempting to donate bitcoins to people than fiat, perhaps because they're so easy to send

Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: Undefined31415 on August 21, 2012, 09:14:25 PM I believe they are somewhat stimulating the bitcoin economy by giving small amounts of coins.
But I'm no expert in this field. Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: jasonharty24 on August 21, 2012, 09:38:54 PM Quote I guess your kind of new to this whole open source thing :P Just a little bit. Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: gnpeer on August 21, 2012, 09:56:51 PM It's easier to give like 0.001BTC than 0.001$.
;) Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: nanaimogold on August 21, 2012, 10:47:07 PM I have been giving away small amounts of bitcoin almost since day one, 2-1/2 years ago.
My motivation is to allow people to test their clients and get a feel for using bitcoin. This promotes the concept generally. Better someone see first hand that bitcoin confirmation takes time and not be panicked when their first substantial trade is not confirmed instantly. Since a bitcoin is so very divisible, even a tiny amount can be used to make many test spends. Hence, I give people tiny amounts to play with as a learning aid. I have also given to charity because I support the cause, but that's another motivation entirely. Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: Derringer on August 21, 2012, 11:32:42 PM Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine :P Yes, that's one way to get some coins. ;) Or did you mean something more like this: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs5/i/2005/013/1/8/Seagull_by_kaykaykit.jpg Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: jasonharty24 on August 22, 2012, 12:05:49 AM Quote Karma isn't really a part of it. Maybe it's faded some now as it has become more mainstream but my story is pretty much the same as anyone else's that's been using it for a while. I realised I'm getting this huge amount of software for nothing and most of it is made by individuals spending a bit of time writing it and improving it and fixing it when it's broke. After a while it gets to you, your getting all this free stuff and you want to give something back. I learned a bit of programming (not much good at it :/ ), others help out with translations, it all adds up to things like linux, apachi, firefox etc. I sent wormbog that 5c earlier, it was part of what I made investing in a company on GLBSE as a dividend, the guy who made the company saved a lot because he didn't have to get a bank loan and pay interest to set up in business... it all goes around and everyone is better off for it. What company was that? Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins?

Yes, I think I'd agree, it really would be breathtaking to see bitcoin become mainstream - just imagine waking up one morning to find all the banks have failed because Bitcoin took off so much!

A balloon.Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins? Post by: Matthew N. Wright on August 23, 2012, 09:39:40 PM I have a theory why people give away coins so easily--- because bitcoin doesn't feel like real money to most people. It feels fake still because never in the history of mankind could "money" be spent so easily and so quickly. That's a feature AND a bug, a bug for people who are ignorant and toss their money around on credit cards thinking they can chargeback later.
Bottom line, 10,000BTC was bet for an opinion. That doesn't happen in USD. Title: Re: Why do people give away so many coins?
