Title: WE NEED A DAY!!!!!!!---YOU HAVE TO READ
Post by: rodeoclownicp on November 21, 2014, 10:17:49 PM
some of us who are from the usa may not know but the largest shopping day in the world is not black friday or its little sis cyber monday- its singles day. yes singles day, a  (chino centric) Asian holiday. singles day is not valentines, its kinda the oposite. its where, if you dont have anybody, you buy yourself something. why is this important,well, this last jump in btc (when it got to 460usd) 100% absolutely coincided with singles day November 11th.  after that little pop, others jumped on board buying btc because it looked like it was on the way back up and we got 2- 3 days of great btc numbers. just from one online shopping day. Well what do we see every year on TV? Black friday numbers and "wow look at how much sold in online sales." well WE NEED A DAY!!!!!!!. we need A BITCOIN SHOPPING DAY- let the news report the growth of "bitcoin day" every year. Lets force merchants to take notice. then of course in time ltc and doge and etc. day. people can talk about how there coins day did or whatever. But it all starts with BITCOIN DAY. when bitcoin does well- we all do well. with a shopping day it would also attract merchants. when btc is NOT converted to fiat but is used in its place...WE WIN BIG. so there it is.

Singles day was started by alibaba- i think if we got the three biggest btc acceptors on board and had them work together this would pop. why wouldnt they? a coordinated sale with advertising would be a big boost for them and the manufacturers would come along in a year or two?

"Who's coming with me?"

I remember some groups pushing for it, but the volatility killed the movement.

Every day is singles day if you are single :-) and if you have a significant other you shouldnt wait around for made up hollidays to show the appreciation you have for them.

its amazing how good an idea this is and this is the retarded shit responses- btc went up 100 dollars from a day that is not even about btc shopping- the reddit thing is on black friday which defeats the purpose- REALLY- this is what u get. and then the other 2 people spam- btc shopping day would be the most impactful thing EVER to happen to btc and this is the bull cocky u get--- PLEASE  god lets get some people on board who realize what this is

I'm not too sure about this. Economics is complicated. What if the rise in BTC sales lower its overall value. Bitcoin is getting harder and harder to mine and for some reason its value keeps dropping. That goes against supply and demand rules which states the the lower the supply then the higher the price. Having a bitcoin day may not do what you expect it to do.

what u just addressed is not even debatable. please delete your post. this was not suppose to be a thread for spamming. to all that have commented please delete your posts

 i will contact the marketing departments my self. please do not comment further if it is not related to starting btc day. i believe market share belongs to newegg tiger and overstock...are there any other heavy hitters? comments about time of year?

What could be the basis for this day? Something astrophysical, something recurring, if possible every year...

this comment is the closest to being germane to the topic but then just ends in spam

this is interesting- tying btc day to a meaning- having a meaning would free btc day up to occur at a time of year other than the holiday season. not sure if that is ggod or bad. the public comparisons with balck friday and cyber monday could really boost public knowledge of btc day

again what merchants have the highest btc sales?- they should be approached

Great idea. This black friday thing has trully taken over the world, it has become a worldwide event that started in the USA. We need something similar with Bitcoin where Bitcoin is the main protagonist and you get exclusive Bitcoin discounts, hence giving you a really nice treat and motivation to actually look what Bitcoin is and use it. Once a person uses Bitcoin once then thats a potential lifelong Bitcoin user because he/she learned about it. So we need a Bitcoin day with merchants giving really ridiculous discounts so it becomes world famous and gets on the news. Look at it as an invesment. Merchants put really cheap stuff for Bitcoin, Bitcoin beomes hugely popular, merchants holding Bitcoin see their Bitcoin upvalued a lot.

We need a Bitcoin Shopping Day and ideally around xmas because people is more prone to buy stuff during that time.

OMG. THANKYOU. you get it yes. it is going too happen it is a good idea. (by the way thank you for not spamming or just wtiting something to get your post count up- thats not what threads are for)..... yes you are right on all points. one big difference between singles day and shopping on black friday/cyber monday is that people seem to convert coin to currency to spend it. this is bad for the value of coin and it is useless in getting merchants and media and the public to take notice. WE NEED BTC DAY...... mansler what merchants that accept btc do u think make up the largest part of market share for crypto currency?.....oh and once again thankyou for not spamming

Bitcoin Shopping Day? That's crazy enough to work.

The problem is we already have Bitcoin Black Friday. So BSD would have to replace BBF, otherwise the impact will get diluted. 2 bitcoin shopping events in a year is just one too many. We would need to convince BBF organisers/participants to switch.

I'm curious what would be the merchants' thoughts on the idea.

well put it this way- i have never heard of btc black friday - if its the same day as black friday than it is definitely not what i am talking about - we are hoping for something with the some sort of BUZZ around it. if its before christmas i think it would need to proceed black friday to stand out

I thought it was something related to paypal announcement on bitcoin integration as payment method. But anyway you can't make a conclusion based on a single data. It might be a coincidence unless you tell me there is a shop selling all these stuff to singles and they accept only bitcoin. However your idea on Alibaba partnering with bitcoin sure sounds interesting; )

That is too simplified thinking.

Supply of BTC is not just from miners. I never mined bitcoins, yet I am ready to sell them therefore I am supply as well.

Supply of gold is not just from miners of Gold. The more BTC or gold is mined, the less impact have the miners on supply.

Another factor by BTC is that overall amount that will be mined is known, therefore market counts with the 21M. You can not compare situation where mining of BTC is declining with some supply shock like unexpected closure of gold mines.

thats exactly what a market is- you dont have a ref come out and pronounce a winner. this is not a debate thead please remove your comments its spam. i am trying to get momentum. we should have a day with recorded sales volume- a day that evrybody knows exists

What I think is that bitcoin gives us total control over our buying power... as such I don't think that subjugating bitcoin to the time of those that enslaved humanity for centuries is appropriate. I repeat but I sincerely think that why only 1 day? personally I think that associating bitcoin with an astronomical event like the 4 solar positions (max, low, mids) during the 4 bitcoin weeks of the years, with the support of merchants (for special offers and co) is my proposition. around the 21 +/- 3 days in dec, march, june, sept.
