This is why i stay on the technical side of bitcoin BTCitcoin is a wealth transfer protocol not a currency Youd be trading in rabbits foots and tulips of you thought you'd profit. This is about the technology and widening the scope of global wealth transfer. You are too small minded to be into BTCitcoin... maybe you should wait "till btc reaches the ground" Itcher is the reason bitcoin speculator price is dropping.

So if its a wealth transfer protocol and not a currency why the f* you want to use it for ordering burgers? Plz, take a breath. If you come from the technical side, you have my respect, but you did post a suggestion in the economics-section - a good suggestion - so don't run in anger, if you get an economic answer. If you want to live in a mono-perspective world, you could, but don't run in field where other perspectives do live and start to howl like a baby, if you meet thoughts which aren't your thoughts. OMG the IQ level in the rest of this forum is absurd You don't need no IQ of an absurd hight, to imagine yourself into the position of any businessman ... it's easy, and you should give it a try, if you want them do anything: most of them want to make profit, at least they don't want to loose money or to crash down their business ... no-one! And if any businessmen accepts BTC, they have to calculate with them. If I as a founder of a startup accept BTC and many people use it, I will soon sit on a bunch of BTC. Thats great, as I like BTC, but it doesn't free me from paying my workforce, the shipping-service, my supply-chain, my rent, my electricity, and as the world is actually roling, I HAVE to change them into FIAT. For this I HAVE to ask myself: What will be the price, not today, but tomorrow or in a month or in half a year? And, just one glance on the so-hated charts and you see: the trend goes downwards. Conclusion: High possibility to loose money. What would you answer, if the grubhub representative will ask you this? Will your answer be: [/quote] What? this is why i stay on the technical side ob bitcoin itcoin is a wealth transfer protocol not a currency Youd be trading in rabbits foots and tulips of you thought you'd profit. This is about the technology and widening the scope of global wealth transfer.

[/quote] So if its a wealth transfer protocol and not a currency why the f* you want to use it for ordering burgers? [/quote] Conclusion for the startup: BTC is a thing for lunatics, living in some strange, non-economic world but claim to give advice to businessmaen. You think it helps BTC to make people with good will laugh about it? Title: Re: Lets get GrubHub to accept Bitcoins! Post by: readonlyaccess on July 03, 2013, 09:02:58 PM I'm not sure I understand this. Why is accepting BTC a thing for lunatics? With services like bitpay you can receive USD the same day for services offered, thereby eliminating any risk from a volatility standpoint...Bitpay does everything for you.

Title: Re: Lets get GrubHub to accept Bitcoins! Post by: Itcher on July 03, 2013, 10:04:35 PM I too think so ... I just think these month are no good opportunity to adopt btc for merchandise ... nearly everybody in the speculation corner is sure price will go down for the next month. This could ruin a business which accept btc right now without thinking carefully about it or beeing bad adviced. And this would be a great harm for bitcoins.

Price volatility is of no concern to a merchant using coinbase.com or bitpay.com because the conversion is done on the spot. Title: Re: Lets get GrubHub to accept Bitcoins!

But I am wondering ... if the conversion is done instantly - it must have the same effect as if you sell your btc somewhere. I thought, if someone accepts btc, he would have them. |
