Title: [2016-03-01] When The European Parliament Called To Talk About Bitcoin Post by: trinaldao on March 01, 2016, 03:58:16 PM When The European Parliament Called To Talk About Bitcoin, My First Vacation In Years Had To Wait
One of the great things about running a Bitcoin and blockchain company that processes payroll for global workforces is that there is a frequent need for travel. The downside to this type of travel is that wifi is never too far away, even on airplanes, and I end up working all the time. I haven’t taken an actual vacation in over two years, but it’s hard to complain when you love what you do. Nevertheless, I set out to change that. Several months ago I planned a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas with a friend for my birthday. We spent around $4,000 on non-refundable fees, and you can guess what happened next. My company, Bitwage, is part of Orange Fab, an accelerator run by Orange Silicon Valley, a subsidiary of Orange, the massive French telecommunications company, and we got invited to meet with their executives and other partners in Paris. That trip was paid for, but my long awaited vacation was in harm’s way. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanchester/2016/03/01/when-the-european-parliament-called-to-talk-about-bitcoin-my-first-vacation-in-years-had-to-wait/ Title: Re: [2016-03-01] When The European Parliament Called To Talk About Bitcoin Post by: Gaugh on April 05, 2016, 11:38:33 AM Wow! Won't be surprised if the euro is replaced with bitcoins in the future. That also means the anonymity of btc will disappear for btc to be widely accepted.
