Hi Guys

We are from Bitcoin.co.id - Indonesia Bitcoin Exchanger  targeting to convert a majority of merchants on Bali (Indonesia) to accept Bitcoin. Soon you can come to Bali by only bringing Bitcoin.

It will make tourist and local people easier doing transaction. Supported by money changer in Bali and existing shops.

Welcome.
You will probably need a clear plan, and a partner/writer who writes fluent English.

It will be interesting to see the response from the local (Balinese) government and the Indonesian government to this measure. The legal aspects are still not clear. And I want to know whether the local banks will co-operate with this move or not.

Apa khabar neighbour! I think its a GREAT IDEA! But I'm not too sure about the entire island, you will need your government to support for sure, but you can start small first, and if it's gonna take off, it's gonna take off, if not, well, at least you tried! How's the bitcoin scene in Indonesia? We have our first Bitcoin ATMs in Malaysia a month ago, one in Bangsar, KL and one in Penang, with more to come.  I think bitcoin will be big this part of the world too. But we really need all the other SEA countries to be on board as well. Hopefully when adoption has grown big enough with its infrastructures in place bitcoin will be accepted as legal tender.

Yes, you have a good start.  :)

Glad to hear that. It is good that they don't raise any legal objections to the cash to BTC transactions. Do you have any information on the taxes which are applicable?

pahe bahasa indo aja deh, malas nulis bahasa inggris wkakak
baru kemarin baca disini -> http://indonesia.bitcoin.co.id/ingin-ikut-memiliki-perusahaan-bitcoin-co-id/
udah ada aja threadnya disana
mantap idenya, saya mendukung penuh usahanya  ;D
ide bagus untuk menjadikan bali sebagai pusat transaksi bitcoin, karena disana banyak turis dari luar negeri yang kemungkinan sudah mengenal bitcoin
kalau banyak merchant yang menerima transaksi bitcoin kan jadi bagus

cuma apa gak terbentur sama kebijakan BI yang melarang transaksi jual-beli menggunakan bitcoin di indonesia?
EDIT : ternyata dituker ke IDR dulu ya pake ATM BTC, dikira langsung trx pake bitoin

beli sahamnya dulu deh mumpung masih murah

Another  newbie account scammer with a so called "visionary" idea  to be launched soon on crypto stocks and then fail and disappear after getting rich off your coins.

Haven't u guys learnt enough? :D

he owns an exchanger in indonesia
many members trading BTC/IDR (local currency) there
maybe he is newbie here, but he can give you proof that he owns that exchanger ;D

If he owns an exchange why does he need public funding?  Doesn't want to risk his own money is my guess.

If he gives proof and comes out in press release I might consider funding. Otherwise this is just another scam

from what i read. they need capital to expand their business
so they sell their stocks to market
maybe better we wait OP to reply this question ;D

Have you checked his listing in Cryptostocks? Quite a lot of the details are given there.

Go eats a bag of dicks , cosmofly. I know you're hurt that you lost btc in MtGox but please end yourself , dont live such a hateful life.

before even trying to fundraise a sinle coin. atleast show proof of motives.
it does not cost anything to get shops to set up bitpay accounts. only conversations.
having a person on the island trading bitcoins for national currency does not cost any large amount of set up costs. its just advertising it on bali forums that the service is available and asking shops to spread the word.

make videos of shops accepting it and a guy exchanging it (the free stuff anyone can set up without costs) then you may get funding coming in faster.
before even renting an office, there are many things you can do for free.. so please do those things and document them. this will show that your goals do exist in reality and that you have the experience and enthusiasm to see it happen.

rather then just appearing as a pseudonym on a forum asking for money. i like to see projects succeed but nobody likes to be putting money into a project that cant even show current PHYSICAL progress.

also to note. if you need "funding" just to do the free stuff, then to many people, it appears that your previous life experience has not awarded you with enough wealth/knowledge to do simple tasks. this makes people think that the project will fail before it has started, because you are not good with money or have experience in conversations to tempt shops to signup.

i hope you prove people wrong and show current progress and actual physical results.. before asking for funds

This is an interesting development IMO. I wonder how the Government will treat U...

Never used Mtgox, don't have username

Are you OK BTW? You seem angry

+1

I'm with Franky on this

at day one i and other people that are experienced investors, do not care about you having an office. i care about seeing results. anyone can set up an office and do absolutely no work.
results i want to see which can be done for free
1. a video on youtube showing you talking to merchants in the bali island
2. a video of you desribing the project (to atleast see your face, and not a pseudonym)
3. a video of you atleast convincing one merchant to accept bitcoin
4. not needed to do yet, but.. real life details should be given to anyone that PLEDGES support

the main reasons for this are: that the other top three above also shows you can put your own time and money into just talking to people in bali. EG paying for transport (taxi/plane/whatever)

also to add
.

10k shares = 500BTC.
500x5%=10,000btc

are you seriously trying to value your exchange as being worth $4mill (10kbtc @ $400), but you cant even afford to talk to merchants?

Hi My name is William Sutanto, CTO of bitcoin.co.id,

I understand your concern, that is also my concern before do this fund-raising. The reason we need this fund asap is because we just get a very nice space in the heart of tourism spot in Bali, and it must be paid in this 1-2 weeks or we lose it. We will execute this plan either the fund-raising succeed or not. If we got the fund, we will start big, if not, we will use our limited fund to realize this idea.

About PHYSICAL progress, we are currently no. 1 bitcoin open exchange in Indonesia. Our service launched on 15 February 2014 (2 months ago) and now we already have 5000+ members registered. We are active member in bitcoin community (local & south east asia). Oscar was a speaker for World Bitcoin Conference in Kuala Lumpur (http://www.events-actually.com.sg/wbc2014.php). We also got media coverages, a lot. You can google them :)

Our exchange is already profitable. If we want to make money, we can just focus in expanding our exchange business. There are already 3 serious angel investors interested in our exchange. But that is not enough, beside making profit we want bitcoin to be mainstream, we want bitcoin has real usage in daily life, not just a speculative instrument.

We are not trying to sell you with nothing, even without the Bitcoin Island idea the stock is a good deal backed up by our exchange business.


you will begin to see some result in next few weeks.

do not get me wrong, i do like the idea, and support the plan you have mentioned. but for proper financial trust, people like to see more then just a idea.

on this forum, your just a pseudonym right now.
i can easily say "i am the indonisia exchange owner give me money".. in fact i just did..

you say you are number 1.. which means you have enough money to pay for a weekend of conversations in bali. self funded.
well then, this weekend get to bali. make some videos of you convincing merchants to accept bitcoin. allow them to sign up their bank details with your exchange. you do not need a physical office for this.
you CAN and SHOULD do this even without investment.

this will prove you have a business plan and not just an idea. and alot of angel investor will love the proof you provide.

another example of why i ask this.
angel investors did not approach you the day you said "i want to start an exchange". they are now only talking to you now they see results.

Thank you, we will keep our progress documented.

That's quite a heavy accusation there cosmo. You may not know, but here in this part of the world we're quite an enthusiastic bunch.  We have weekly gatherings where local bitcoiners meet and just talk bitcoin, we have events and conferences promoting the understanding of bitcoin, we have campaigns giving out free bitcoins to spread awareness. We prefer to have optimism, something that is sorely missing in the bitcoin world now

we have learnt. but the subtle way of doing it is to ask thm to prove themselves.. if a scammer they will shoot themselves in the foot and hobble away with their lack of evidence. if legit then the business can prosper.

but before any funds are handed over we need to see if they hobble away or jump at the chance to expand. one thing is for sure statements like "we will keep you updated" are meaningless. lets all wait for actual evidence and not worded 'update' statements

We prefer to have optimism..
Optimism and a good plan can do almost anything.  :)

If Indonesia won't worry about it ;)

I wonder how long will it take for me to get there ;D

Very interesting project. It has to grow more, I guess, to be legit for fundraising. In this early step of developing, your idea can fail very fast. Even if you are legit, I would wait for investing money into it or spend as much I can lose. Keep on working  :)

Go.....

Bitcoin On Bali...

Saya Berdomisili di Bali...

Ada yg bs dibantu ?

Good luck with this project, I'm sure you would get ALOT of tourist to your bitcoin Island as it's just something totally new that people never heard before of. I would be curious to visit it too.  :D

Great project, semoga semakin banyak turis yang datang ke indonesia dengan adanya proyek ini.
kota lain kapan menyusul?
Mungkin karena telalu banyak 0 pada rate tukar bitcoin jadi orang indonesia masih belum banyak yang menggunakan bitcoin  ;D. teman-teman saya banyak yang belum mau menggunakan bitcoin karena hal ini, sebaiknya rate exchanger indonesia jangan menggunakan rate per BTC tapi mBTC biar nol-nya lebih sedikit  ;D .
 

0.05 btc per share is alot of money in Indonesia, but I have a question:

Your cryptostocks listing says dividends will be paid on the last friday of each month, so will you be making the first dividend payment this friday 25th April?

Hello;

already had event meetup on ubud, come on joint us...

http://www.meetup.com/Ubud-Breakfast-with-Bitcoin/events/177217002/

Good job guys. I also from Indonesia.  ;)

Lets make the world hear more about us and Bali is a very smart start

Hi Funchiestz,
I already followed your journey since you establish BTCID.
and I have no doubt on your professionalism and your breakthroughs in introducing BTC to Indonesian market.

but ummm,
you should be pay the 1st dividen today at 15.00 UTC+7
and I haven't received my dividen. you already missed about 3 hours.. but still acceptable.

however,
I'm fully support all your effort and plan to promoting bitcoin in Indonesia.

go BTCID :)

no dividend paid, no announcement made, not professional.

1 day passed, still no dividend and no announcement.

if anyone is interested in buying a btcid share from me today i will transfer to your cryptostocks account for .04 btc. otherwise i will just wait til the ipo is lifted and il sell it then

If per share dividend is 0.00001469 BTC compared to the investment 0.05 BTC, the return is very micro 0.02938%. I think you hv wrongly valuate your company. Investor will expect annual return above the traditional market (mutual fund, stock, deposit, ...)

indeed. wrongly valuate and price per stock also quite high compared to other portfolio in cryptostocks.
there are lots of things that need to be fixed. but I still believe in them. hopefully they can meet their investors expectation in the coming months.

btw, is the IPO already lifted? no?

I have one share and i am already desperate to sell it

oh boy.  here we go

Hi all !

I am newbie here. I am also quite new to crypto currencies. Just started learning about it early this year.

I am not affiliated to bitcoin.co.id but I think this is a good and promising business. I am talking about the exchange. Bitcoin to Indonesia rupiah, specifically. I think the market will grow.

As for the Bali Bitcoin island, not that convinced about the business yet.

Anyway, at first I am not that interested in buying bitcoin just to hope for it to increase in value. I was planning to have new business that can ride the growth of bitcoin industry but since I am still not able to put much capital yet, I think at 0.05BTC, this is one thing that I ride the growth of bitcoin  industry, especially in Indonesia market. Hopefully the turnover of bitcoin.co.id will grow and I can enjoy better dividend.

That is my rational for buying this stock.

Cheers !

One way you could alleviate the issue of trust in your donation plan is to use a known, reputable, and paid bitcoin escrow service. Look up John K. at bitcoinforums, he is great. Cheers~

Rome wasn't built in a day  ;D

keep good work bitcoin.co.id  ;D

Any update??

PMd you.

this place looks really good and very interesting project.

welp i enjoyed the vid. hope for the success, and may our travel expense be all in bitcoin  soon

keep goodwork admin  ;D

maybe next time i'll join gath  ;D

Nice.

I hope we can get many list of merchant that accept btc (or ltc) soon.
Indonesia holiday season is coming up... and Bali is favorite destination

I hope your experiment will succeed!

PMd You

A blog about the need of crypto currency but without mentioning a word of Bitcoin

Emailed you via the site.

Congratulations on the article posted in CoinDesk earlier today fellas.  Though I too am a bit uncertain about the valuation your giving your company right out of the gate I'm still impressed with the vision thus far.  The more smaller countries that hop on the bitcoin bandwagon in a big way, the less larger more corrupt governments impact will ultimately have on bitcoin flourishing.

*Because of my uncertainty regarding whether or not your currently overvalued I won't be purchasing any shares right now but I am definately keeping an eye on you guys and wish you all the best.

BTW, the pictures I found online for Bali are absolutely beautiful...looking forward to the day when I can afford to get over there with nothing but bitcoin in the wallet on my phone ;)

As all those who use cryptostocks website are nervous, i suggest that you ask the public shareholder to vote:

1. Remains as it is
2. Unlist from cryptostocks. Just pay the dividend to all current holders as usual.
3. Unlist from cryptostocks by buying back all the shares at probably weighted, pre determined price.

Sounds like a cool idea, but most effect for project like this one only Bitcoin enthusiasts who owns a lot of bitcoins or are just rich in FIAT money can do something about It because just regular FIAT merchants wouldn't want additional problems and risk and they are just good with FIAT, but what you are doing Is really great and I support your idea 100%.

Serious question: what is internet access like on these islands?

Internet access is available widely although speed may not be that satisfying.

You should come and experience it.

Or ask people you know who has been to Bali

0.05 BTC is price per 1 share
and then 1 share make 0.00001553 BTC per month
so : (0.00001553 BTC / 0.05 BTC) * 100% = 0.031 % per month
and 12 * 0.031% = 0.372%. not even 1% dividents annually

i think your company was overvalued, and your stock / share price way too expensive

Hi funchiestz

umm, so, if we buy your shares in cryptostocks it means we donate our BTC to your project? or do we really buy your shares?
if we donate, it means, we will not get our money back? you said that you have plan to buy the shares back somewhen in the next 1-2 years (and pay the dividen per month)?  ??? ???

I agree that your share's price is too expensive

I think his mean that buying bitcoin.co.id shares in cryptostocks is not for short term profit and some part of it treat like you make a donation for this project.

Since bitcoin.co.id just a new exchanger and still low market cap (although Indonesia are top 5 population), you cant compare the return just for short term. If you believe in this project than you go with it by being part of it (buying share).

One idea is to get tourists to believe the benefit of bringing bitcoin to Bali. Maybe you could dangle prizes for travelers to write blog about how they spend their time in Bali and using Bitcoin. They must write the blog on well-known travel blogs and social media.

delightful update :)
your fee is in IDR, and what they taxed is this IDR.. so the tax is not for BTC but for IDR, is this right?
if I'm a merchant, and I want my customer able to pay using BTC, how about the tax? is the tax will be calculated based on the BTC value in IDR when the transaction happen? or how?

The tax rate is 1% base of government regulations number 46 year 2013 (PP No.46/2013)

Tax will be calculate from your income (sales) in IDR, so if you sale in BTC than it will base of BTC value in IDR like you said.

I dont know why does funchiestz said that the tax charge only for fee cause the rule is clear. The object of 1% is INCOME not the MARGIN (FEE).

Margin have another rule base of tax law no.36/2008 article 17 in certain criteria.

eheiiii
ngebut trus nih pak oscar :D

hope you guys can make Bali a big basecamp for bitcoiners :D

Great idea...smashing travellers for six!

I think it is very clear. Exchange income is from transaction fee. Exchange position is just like a property agent, or stock broker. The total amount of transaction is income for the bitcoin sellers, not for the exchange. For bitcoin sellers they also require to declare income for selling their bitcoin base of PP no. 46, which means they need to pay 1% of tax from total amount of rupiah they received.

as long as "profit" still sticked, it doesnt matter (the 1%)
 :D

Thanks for the article. I just finished read it and here my opinion.
(I am not tax official, and i share my opinion and my knowledge in tax fields base of Indonesia Tax Rule)

1. Miner
I am totally agree that any income from miner are object to income tax (PPh) and not object to VAT (PPN).

2. Exchanger
I also agree that exchanger that stand as mediator for buyer and seller earn fee and the fee are object to income tax, and since the new regulation (PP No.46/2013) if your earning fee are lower than 4,8 Billions Rupiahs IN A YEAR than your fee are object to 1% income tax (final without deduction from cost), and if your earning fee are higher than 4,8 Billions Rupiahs than your fee are object to Income Tax Law No.36/2008 Act 17 which currently rate is 25% after you deduct the cost to generate your earning. (You may read act 31E for tax reduction criteria)

I am not complete agree about VAT, since your only mediator, your sale are not count as VAT's object but your fees are. And if like above, there are certain criteria, if you pass 4,8 Billions mark than you become VAT's object and if not, you dont. So, the different is the article said sales, i am said fee

3. Commerce
Always use PP No.46/2013 which make 4,8 Billions rupiahs a year as a mark for tax income calculation
Below 4,8 Billions, all sales are object to 1% income tax (whatever you make a profit sales or not)
Above 4,8 Billions, all sales can be deducted to the cost (cogs, expenses ect) and the margin are object to 25% income tax
Connection with the article, the poster is not use this regulation, his opinion is in general and not consider to government regulations No.46/2013

VAT also have 4,8 Billions as turning point base of Finance Ministers Regulation No.197/PMK.03/2013, start to apply Jan 1st, 2014

4. Investment
Agree with the article. The capital gain may become object of income tax. And VAT could be declare if transaction above 4,8 Billions


Not exactly. My post before are prefer to merchants and they aren'tt exchanger, they are buying and selling goods.

Exchanger not really buy or sell btc, they only market place as you said like a broker. The real transaction occurred between buyer and seller, and exchanger are the middle man only. So "the sales" are not object to 1% regulation

gurunya cantik tuh pak
boleh di deketin :D, jgn asik bitcoin yg di pacarin  :D

Just want to clarify: "Capital gain may become object of income tax", what Indonesian tax regulation state that ?

thanks

another bitcoin island wanna be
http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/23/jersey-bitcoin-island/ :)

In Indonesia, Capital Gain is a general definition. Different object that obtain capital gain will have different tax rate or not object at all.
The basic rule come from Tax Law No.38/2008 article 4 and more explanation in PP No.94/2010

For example
* capital gain from investment in stock market (BEI), the tax rate is 0.1% from sales of investment and final (no cost deduction) PP No.14/1997
* capital gain from investment in Mutual Funds (Reksadana), not a object from income tax
* capital gain from investment in foreign currency are object to article 17
ect...

So case by case

@thiec

OK. I see. But bitcoin at the moment is not classified under foreign currency under Bank Indonesia definition. So it is commodities and there is nothing about capital gains tax.

Yes, it is. bitcoin is treat like commodities or assets, there are 2 possibility

1. Unless your are trading company that specialist in buy and sale bitcoin so bitcoin is your inventory (like money changer in foreign currency), your sales will be object to 1% income tax until your total sales for a year above 4.8 billions. So its call selling goods not capital gain

2. other wise, the tax will assume you only speculate in bitcoin thus your investment are object to capital gain, like your buy a house or land or anything assets and sale it later. That object to article 17

congratulations to bitcoin.co.id hopefully all goes well could be planned just why you should be in the closed exchanger was very helpful when we were wanted us to IDR exchange bitcoin, but hopefully in Bali can smoothly plan that can be followed in the cities other

I definitely want to go on an 'all bitcoin' trip to Bali at some point in the near future!

Seems like it would be a fun way to travel. And now that Expedia is accepting btc it makes it much more likely that I'll be able to do that at some point.

this is a great start  i think
well, i want to travel with all payment in BTC  ::)

Bali island that know as paradise island will be know to as Bitcoin paradise  ;D

Maybe Indonesia is a holiday-making place for Bitcoin enthusiast. :)

This indeed seems like a very good idea,  and an initiative.
Considering the tourist popularity of Bali, and the advantages of Bitcoin, people will save a whole lot of money, which would normally be lost to paying conversion fees.

All this, and reports of a Jersey(european island) all set to become a first state to accept bitcoins as a means of currency, is very very promising for the community.

I would encourage leaders from every state to take up a project to introduce BTC to local businesses.

Bitcoin archipelago  :)

Other city which is being prepared right now is Yogyakarta, we are starting up to do some surveys and fun stuff to see the outcome. Our team is barely new and we still have to learn so much. That is why Oscar Darmawan is like our inspiration plus mentor. We want Yogyakarta, the vast cultural tourist attraction area, to accept bitcoin too.

Yes, it is still an idea, but we have prepared much within a month after we began to understand the value of bitcoin.

As Draper have said, “All I know is this money is more secure than the money that is in my investment bank.”

Under Development,

We are a team of bitcoin enthusiast students, jadi mana nih suara anak Yogyakarta, yuk kumpul kita bangun Yogyakarta, berlomba-lomba dengan Oscar Darmawan supaya seru.

Salam Sukses for bitisland.com and let us build together bitcoin and ground it down to earth in Indonesia, semangat yah pak Oscar Darmawan. You got all our support too.
Alif Moekti, Founding Director CV. CoinKita.

Happy to see so many Bali merchants getting onboard the Bitcoin train. I hope to roll out the same thing for islands in Malaysia.

My partners at BTC FUTURE (btcfuture.biz) did meet Oscar back early this year...
All the best and keep in touch.

LoL, really? Jogyakarta?  :o
that great news, im looking my vacation with my BTC in there
just 6-8 hours to get there in my place  :P

WOW.. Another team picking up the opportunity to make a high tourism city to be a bitcoin friendly city. I like the vision of Mr. Oscar

I think, Yogyakarta is 2nd to Bali in attract tourist come to Indonesia, its a cultural city and she have Borobudur, the one of the most famous Buddhist temple in the world, and  Prambanan, a Hinduism temple left from great kingdom in ancient java.

Hello... is another team join Mr. Oscar??
We still have JAKARTA.. yeah.. the central government and the largest city of Indonesia.
Dont forget Bunaken Beach, North Sulawesi and Raja Ampat, Papua is one of the best and famous underwater view and very natural

Well, I am hoping to see you all soon, Indonesia is a divided by many Islands and we should really have representatives around here. Well, I wish good luck to pak Oscar Darmawan and his associate William Sutanto.

Indonesia is a great place to be invested in, and as you all know, we are the fourth largest population in the world.

So I would really like to open all our minds here that we are all working hard to achieve what bitcoin revolution can do here.

*update*
- we have done some quick surveys around Yogyakarta
- we are also been acquainted with Nikhil who pioneered Bitcoin Boulevard at Cleaveland. (he gave us lots of homeworks)
- our company is legally under a law firm under the name of Commanditaire Vennootschap Coinkita now.
- joined and became one of the editor of Indonesia Bitcoin Community (hope to promote this program locally when it has been at MVP state)

To all start-ups lets share the enthusiasm, we are ready to face this revolution.

Alif, CV Coinkita

The idea seems so unachievable but it seems like you already have a good start and know where you're headed. Good luck :)

will you also sell your shares in cyrptostocks?

i see so many great progress here ;D
many merchant already accepted bitcoin as payment, congratz for your good work
maybe i'll come to Bali next year and didn't spend any rupiah at all, I will pay it with Bitcoin ;D

If we can share our knowledge and experience with each other it will be a lot easier for us all!

http://www.cryptotown.org

cryptostocks? maybe, in a way that is quite similar as how bitisland is looking for donation and giving dividends at the same time. we are really working hard to prove to be professional before executing anything official.

I have a want to register my company at Bitcoin Foundation silver member or if not personally registering myself in a lifetime pass. Also waiting for membership acceptance from bitcoininstitute.org

One of our aim is to have a strong foundation within the knowledge of Bitcoin while doing small executions one little step of a time. After all, we are at one of the base of Indonesia's educational city center.

Knowledge holds a great power within us all and open to vast potentials.
Alif, CV Coinkita.

this is a great place and space, next time when I am in Bali I will be sure to visit here. Thanks pa Oscar.

Sure will do, for the time being lets bring the conversation to Skype. See you there.

There is a great way to advertise your products and services by just announcing that you are accepting the BTC.

Why is bitcoin.co.id data is not updated in bitcoincharts.com ?

Last data is 14 July ?

Bitcoincharts is showing updated bitcoin.co.id now. Thanks

I calculate the price for BTCID using discounted dividend model.
I use 60% growth per month for the next 12 month and then 0% growth for the next 12 month(that's all, I expect nothing after 2 years, which is very conservative).
Then I used a required rate of return of 1% per month(which is slightly higher than 12% per annum).

I get the current price to be 0.081994 BTC, which is still very much undervalued compared to current price of less than 0.05 BTC.

Great project. Spread the Bitcoins all over Bali  :D

Bali = Indonesia
Best Tour Island

A very fine ideology in the spread of bitcoin world wide.Kudos

keep up the good work pak Oscar..

Enaaaaaaak.  ;D

Mr. Oscar, is there a plan to open your branch office in yogyakarta in near future ? Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural centers of Java, and also one of the main Indonesia's major tourist destinations, so I think it'd be great to have bitcoins widely spread around here

good idea for the development of tourism in Bali

Oh and have we mentioned that they accept payment in Bitcoin?

Is there any merchant in Jakarta that accepts Bitcoin? Bali is too far away from where I live but I understand that you're trying to make Bali as a bitcoin island (which is great!) but I just wish there are some merchants in Jakarta that accept Bitcoin as well...  :'(

You can find few of them, as far as i know such as:
* Cafe Upstair, Cikini street - Resto
* PT. Sinar Daku - PVC pipe manufacture and job order for plastic kind
* Several onlineshop, like RepublikHost.com, Hobihouse.com, Cilukba.co.id, UangKuno.net, Faiyo.net, Fastcell.net, Grosirmu.com
* Junkyard Cafe & Restro

Pretty much also stores in Bali that accept bitcoin.
i hope stores in Indonesian, especially stores in Bandung can accept bitcoin too, only a few stores that accept bitcoin.


Thanks for reference :)

I saw more merchants in Bali in coinmap. Seems like you guys are doing well!

I see a few merchants located in Jakarta from coinmap  :)

I'm actually wanted to hear Bosche Club and Apache Reggae Cafe in Legian to start accept Bitcoin. Hell yeah, Bitcoin > Alcohol trade is much more interesting. :D

jogja too, there is some people who accept bitcoin as their payment option..., :D
good luck with your project...

Period : 1 March 2014 - 31 March 2014  Volume Bitcoin Trading in Rupiah                                             Rp  2,522,224,177.00


Period : 1 November 2014 - 30 November 2014  Volume Bitcoin Trading in BTC                                     2544.816    BTC

So in 7 months, volume has increased by more than 4 times. Not many business can claim that feat !

I agree with this. Bitcoin.co.id does a great job so far. Can't wait for 2015 :)

wow, jogja too? What kind of merchant?

there's a bitcoin community in there that i know of, but i don't know if there's any merchant in there accepting bitcoin

They have tour and travel with bit coin as payment.
But I don't know if there are merchant accept bitcoin in jogja

cool! good to know that bitcoin is really growing in Indonesia  ;D

That hotel looks amazing! They held a Bitcoin party a few weeks ago, right? Awesome!

very nice idea!

a bitcoin party in bali???? they actually did? were you there?

some merchant there accept btc as their payment....,
actually I want to open in my region that will accept btc as payment...

what country are you from?

I m from indonesia,
and jogja not far from my home... :D

ah lucky you... I'm staying in Jakarta right now but I'm originally from Padang. I don't think there's a bitcoin merchant there and probably never will :'(

I see there are some merchant accept bitcoin in jakarta, check previous post.

yep thanks! :)

don't be like that, bitcoin is growing now!
just wait or make an innovate there.

Have you thought of issuing Bitcoin Indonesia's shares through the BitShares decentralized exchange? It would bring great exposure and you could easily trade the btc for bitUSD or bitEUR or other stable currency  :)

yeah I heard about it! Didn't get to come though, bummer  :'(

Wow nice one from bali.
i hope it get realise soon.

What kind of a party was it? And did everyone there pay with Bitcoin?

how they pay with bitcoin ? every1 bring a netbook / laptop ?  ;D
mybe there's many free pc for pay with bitcoin in there

have you heard about mobile wallet and QR code?  ;D
but i doubt they using bitcoin for any transaction on that party,
i think its a meet up party beetwen bitcoin enthusiasm

oh i see. i heard about mobile wallet and QR code, but i dont use it on my phone.
good luck for the bali project.

oh man, they have to use a mobile wallet or other ways they can bring their laptops, easier to use mobile wallet ... : D

they're definitely using mobile wallet. Perhaps every staff got their own tablet to do their work  :)

it would be cool if they have a POS system like that guys from Bitstraat have. They make every bitcoin transaction look even more professional!

that's exactly what we need. As a merchant, we need to look professional when accepting Bitcoin payment. Don't go "okay wait let me get my tablet--oh crap where is it--" when someone wants to pay you Bitcoin.

Bitislands mention on the podcast, yes my favorite podcast ;D
https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/bitcoins-and-gravy-51-bitcoins-in-bali

great interview! I wish I could go to Bali and gain experience of this project myself!

Dividend payment is due today !

@bitslands

I actually read an article about it in coindesk, I think, and it does look good. That POS device will probably cost a lot though... I guess local merchants won't want to use it

yeah they probably won't want to spend extra money to accept bitcoin when they barely understand about it #sigh

so is it already covered? Can I actually travel to Bali only by paying everything with my Bitcoin now?

not everything, see this one .. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=567458.180

oh okay, so we can already buy souvenirs with bitcoin

at least, if there are hotels, restaurants, and souvenirs shops there in Bali that are accepting Bitcoin, I guess it's already enough for me :)

I think there is some hotels accepting bitcoin, :)

true, but those five-star hotels are way too expensive though  :'(

I think it's because those who accept bitcoin in bali are mostly expatriates with big businesses, that's why it's expensive

wow I didn't know there's a project like this in Indonesia! Awesome, I hope this project will be successful!

agreed. Local merchants still usually prefer to accept cash directly

but i think, just use real money to buy some food
:p

but it feels different when you can pay your meals with bitcoin though  ;D

agreed. I did it once and it does feel different! :)

haven't tried buying anything with Bitcoin but it's definitely worth to try

too bad I'm not living anywhere near bali though...

Is there anything you Bitcoiners at Bali could do for free for goodwill and possibly tips?

I am working on the free services exchange project (see signature)

I'm not staying at Bali, but I'm interested with your project  :)

really like the idea ! gonna donate some when i get home : >

Hi,

Nice. Yes, this project has had good reception so far. I am happy to work on it and want to continue.

The link is here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=948359.msg10383498#msg10383498 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=948359.msg10383498#msg10383498)

So there are about three things you can do here. Post a photo and/or request and/or provide free services. We would be happy to get you Bali Bitcoiners on board too. Ok, let's say... Is there anything you Bali Bitcoiners could do for free and post a photo? It doesn't have to be hard or take a long time. Can you post an image of a coconut with a flamingo on top of it or something of the like? You do have a lovely natural environment over there. I do stuff for free too so I am dogfooding the concept. @Bitcoinnuts please post a photo in our thread.

cool, I'll take a look at it first  :)

Our idea? Post something in the thread if you can. We have a lot of posts in our GetGems group now but it would be good if we could make some public posts too.

but are you living in Indonesia? because there are some merchants in jakarta as well that accept Bitcoin

I'm actually staying nowhere near Indonesia but i've been to jakarta once. Yeah I think I saw some in coinmap

Ah I see... well maybe next time you're going to Bali, you can try spend your bitcoin there. I don't know if you can pay everything with BTC but at least there are some hotels and restaurants there that accept it...

awesome! seems like the project is showing good progress  ;D we need more countries to do this kind of project in order for Bitcoin to gain mass acceptance.

is there any bitcoiners here that is actively promoting bitcoin in bali? There's a question I'd like to ask...

I think there is many people that promoting bitcoin in bali, like oscar as CEO bitcoin.co.id and many others :)

yeah well i was just wondering about the merchants. Do you guys go from door-to-door to promote bitcoin to those people or do these merchants come to you for help to accept payment in bitcoin?

I am not sure about that, beacuse I am not in bali, but java... :D

I'm not part of the team, but it's probably the same like what's happening in Amsterdam. Most bitcoin startups there are converting their local merchants by visiting them door-to-door, creating a public event, and approaching them personally to educate them more about bitcoin. I think there's an article about it somewhere in coindesk if you're interested to read more.

bitcoin island is good project,
but i dont see the merchandise in Bali or in online local stores
though i think it could be a big market for bitcoin users to sell any of bitcoin

you mean you don't find any merchandise shop in Bali that's accepting Bitcoin? I think I just saw 2-3 merchants in the previous page. I hope there will be more in the future :)

i hope so,
yes probably because i'm not living in bali so i dont know any bitcoin merchant there :)

you can see the list in bitislands.com. They've already included the map too  :)

i was saw it about few month ago ehh waw display looks different and seems more interesting to visit there
all the places our site accept bitcoin as a means of payment?

yeah, they just updated their website, it looks much better now. Yes every merchant listed there accepts payment in Bitcoin. Their Bitcoin will be automatically converted into rupiah though so they're basically just using bitcoin as a media

do you had similiar plan to created some project about bitcoin ? like "bitcoin village" at your region.. or maybe some business accepting bitcoin 

Me? Nope, I'm just a normal bitcoin trader but I do join a local bitcoin community here but we don't specifically have a project like bitislands. I think Bitislands is the only project in indonesia that attempts to do something like this. I do know there's a bitcoin boulevard and bitcoin capital in amsterdam. It's basically the same thing but it's initiated by different startups

there are actually a lot of places doing projects like this. There's one in Spain, Australia and US as well. But you're right, for now there's only the bitislands project in indonesia.

thanks for the info. I hope projects like this do make much difference to the community. We need more people to use bitcoin...

no prob  :) It does make a difference, but as long as Bitcoin's price still fluctuates a lot, I don't think many merchants will be ready to accept Bitcoin

What if btc will go very down ? Or are you planing something like souvenir shop where I can pay with bitcoins ?

but in Indonesia it doesn't matter though, right? The payment processor that Oscar developed with his team can turn the bitcoin into rupiah right away, so the local merchants won't be affected by the volatility of the bitcoin price (which by the way, just went downhill today)

This is a great project.  I've traveled to Bali twice over the past couple years, and on my most recent visit, I had a lot of issues withdrawing Rupiah with my bank card.  Using bitcoin and not having to worry about withdrawing currency would make a big difference for travelers.

If many local merchants in Bali start to accept Bitcoin then I guess we can say goodbye to money changers  ;D

you're right, we can just travel and pay instantly with Bitcoin  ;D then Bitcoin will become a real worldwide common currency, at least in Bali!

Apa Kabar, bukan Apa khabar

i still think it's better to wait for the government to settle down some rules for cryptocurrencies before we take the next step... Even if the governments can't meddle with bitcoin directly, they can ban it like what Russia did and their citizen would begin to fear bitcoin again

the Indonesian government has always lagged in their various fields.. there has to step 100, we here still 10.
suck ..
they always selfish

Soon we can buy anything with Bitcoin in Bali
It's very interesting :D

I think true entrepreneur never bother with government rules, rather they will think of creating wealth and if in future they run into new government regulation, all they do is to think of an entrepreneurial way to still create wealth while not going against the rules

I am planning something to give more choices and values for Indonesian people as well as visitors to Indonesia where right now they are restricted by the cartel way of Indonesian banking.

I will reveal more after I launch it.

by using the bitcoin technology? Looking forward to hearing more about it  :)

that goes not only for Indonesian government. Other countries as well too.

Well at least, UK is spending their money to study more about cryptocurrencies before they decide to say anything about it so I guess that's a start  :D

doing research, huh? perhaps they're thinking about how to stop Bitcoin from being used for money laundering etc... haha as if fiat money never did something like that before

not 'soon', I think. Maybe we still have to wait for at least another year...

Almost 1 year pass from this project I can't wait to visit Indonesia.
But how about this project progress now?

I live in here in Indonesia but don't know about the progress this project yeahh coz Bali is very far from my region
so where are you from ? 

I'm from Singapore.  :)
Nice to meet you dude can't wait to see Bitcoin island.

yeah well I honestly think that governments are scared when it comes to cryptocurrencies because they really can't control it like how they usually control money. It's not even because bitcoin is more likely to be used for money laundering, it's just because if their people start going to bitcoin, then the governments will start to lose their position

ohh well nice 2 meet u2 :)
yeaa i think Oscar has giving good virus about bitcoin and is being arranged for bitisland soon be realized,
i saw him many giving of enrichment or guidance about bitcoin here ..

well you can always launder with physical cash too.
blame the users, not the technology.

It is territory dangerous or at war? :D

exactly. This is what upsets me the most. And now they're even blaming Bitcoin for ISIS even when the organization only had like 3 bitcoins and the rest of their funds is in us dollars

ISIS huh?
meh. why even extends to that organization? they have strong enough evidence to prove the ISIS using bitcoin ?

That's laughable. As if ISIS would die if they ban bitcoin. As if ISIS can't use other means to send money.

Of course not, we are an Independent Country.
And there is no war in here.

How about evidence of ISIS, period? Show me some, and I'll show you how much money it takes to get a video clip of 12 middle-eastern men firing AK47's into the air

is bali dangerous you mean? nope, it's a really great place. You might have to worry about some pickpockets stealing your money though but that's the more reason why you should use Bitcoin right?  ;D

I'm not sure about the evidence but it's all over the news because the US Government decided to say something about Bitcoin and how it can be used by ISIS. I'll post the article for you when I find it again

too wasted time i take care of such things ...
honestly i dont really care about them. unless they nudging on my family or my friends  :)

Yes, too much time wasted.

Like I said, as if banning bitcoin would wipe out ISIS.

They will surely find other ways to transfer money

How about banning all weapon manufacturers ? But surely ISIS will find ways to kill people.

And Bali is a great place, many entrepreneur too. Entrepreneurs who don't depend on government regulation to make a living

Actually, what do you guys think about Indonesia ???

Nice place for promoting bitcoin, especially in Bali. Bali is like a obligatory place which you must visit if you want to take vacation in Indonesia :D

Yes I know, I just curious for the people who don't believe the fact that Bali is a good place for BTCitcoin.

maybe those people just worry too much about the regulation?  ???

I've been to Bali twice and it's one of my favourite places to travel.  Haven't been to anywhere else in Indonesia.  Was thinking to go to the Gili Islands, but I had such a great experience in Ubud, that I just stayed there.

Seems like a good spot to adopt Bitcoin as there are a lot of cash transactions.

ubud had a great bitcoin community there. I heard that they were the one who created the bitcoin film festival in Ubud a few months ago  :D

I was just there in December, and I wasn't particularly looking out for bitcoin, but didn't see anything at all related to it.  I also had issues where my bank card was frozen, so it was difficult and frustrating to be able to withdraw spending money there.  It would be great to be able to use bitcoin there, to not have to deal with banks at all.

really?? but I saw in coinmap there are like at least 15 merchants that are accepting Bitcoin, and one of them was this huge five-star hotel called Viceroy.

From what I'm reading here, it looks like there are and I'm not doubting that.  I'm just saying while I was there, I didn't see anything bitcoin related, however I didn't go out of my way to search for it.

it because bitcoin in Bali may not be too crowded and only a few stores that accept bitcoin as a means of payment
it's kinda difficult indeed, but it is not likely to be more shop, service accepted bitcoin

I agree, it's not like they're making a big deal out of it when they're starting to accept Bitcoins. Perhaps you even have to spend extra time looking for the bitcoin accepted here stickers or ask them whether they accept BTC or not to know that you can pay with bitcoins

bali is getting quite a huge media coverage because of bitcoin though... I hope more merchants will notice that bitcoin is growing and the benefits that they get from accepting btc

someday, after their eyes familiar with bitcoin ..
many of them are lazy with bitcoin with all sorts of reasons, need more guidance to show that bitcoin is very practical in use

even if they do, as long as the regulation is still hazy, i think it's going to be hard for them to grow...

they accept bitcoin as a means of payment? did we get something if we pay with bitcoin?  such as gifts or certain bonuses

I don't think you'll get a discount but maybe you'll be the first customer who's going to pay with bitcoin at their place so maybe you can ask them for some souvenirs  ;D

more and more merchants are accepting bitcoin, I see. Fantastic  :)

wow, more merchants. Is there any bookstore accepting bitcoin there yet?

why do not you just try to open a bookstore that accepted bitcoin, maybe you'll be the first to do it

hahaha maybe if I have the money  ;D but i'm not actually from indonesia so...

great, another merchant! Keep up the good work  ;)

really nice , my wish n still workin for next  3 or 5 month i had some busines accepted bitcoin as payment .. I should do something for future about bitcoin merchan at this country ,,

I see many merchants in Bali accepting Bitcoin I really happy with that. I will plan to go to Bali soon.  8)

make sure to drop by on one of these merchants when you're visiting bali  ;D

glad to see this initiative taking off, more Bitcoin to everyone!

yeep hopefully a lot of people can know more about bitcoin here.  Having previously they only looked at bitcoin with one eye ..

One eye is good. But unfortunately, their eyes were closed at that time. BTW, who will be in the island next month? I'm gonna visit bitcoin.co.id's new office. :)

aww bitcoin.co.id had a new office
congratz Oscar :)
I went to the island tomorrow for attend my friend's wedding there
huh feels lazy but yeaaahhh for friend

converting local merchants to become bitcoin-friendly takes a lot of hard work. I'm happy to know that this project seems to be going off well  ;D
