Title: What does the Mainstream think people purchase with Bitcoin Post by: freedomno1 on May 16, 2017, 10:44:27 AM I have seen quite a few articles about the items people purchase with Bitcoin ranging from living like kings with lifetime Reddit Gold subscriptions to Knock Mom signs so what do you think the mainstream believe people purchase Bitcoin for.
Reddit Gold Reference http://www.avclub.com/article/hackers-demand-disney-pay-bitcoin-ransom-or-theyll-255376 US Only or Proxies (Daily Show with Trevor Noah) Knock Mom signs http://www.cc.com/video-clips/zcdzyb/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-the-world-is-under-cyber-attack Also if you see any silly items recommended on the news please do share kind of curious what pops up from the mainstream articles ;D Title: Re: What does the Mainstream think people purchase with Bitcoin Post by: unamis76 on May 16, 2017, 10:46:27 AM Mainstream people are fed the lies their mainstream media give them, so these people obviously only think you can buy drugs with Bitcoin ::) Which is unfair, unfortunate and, above all, a big lie.
Title: Re: What does the Mainstream think people purchase with Bitcoin Post by: buenav on May 16, 2017, 10:54:01 AM With the current price rise most people I've spoken to that are unfamiliar with bitcoin think it is just a speculative investment with little real use. That being said it still has the old stigma of being used by criminals for drugs and other illegal activities but I get the impression that is starting to fade away.
Therefore I know its not really a good answer but most people assume bitcoin is used to buy $, after that its illegal things and thirdly they think its an internet money so its used for internet things like the reddit gold you were talking about and other online services. |
