Title: What would you do with 10,000 Bitcoins? Post by: Elwar on March 22, 2013, 01:17:55 AM Say you and 9 buddies with 1k BTC each got together to spend 10k BTC, what would you spend it on?
And you are actually spending it, not just holding it and watching it rise (unless it is to wait until a certain price to pay for something). Either to help Bitcoin, help yourselves, help others, etc... Title: Re: What would you do with 10,000 Bitcoins? Post by: Tirapon on March 22, 2013, 01:23:01 AM Would be nice to start a bitcoin business; help to grow the economy as a whole, which would in turn help to increase the value of bitcoin. We could do with something like bitcoinstore in Europe.

And you are actually spending it, not just holding it and watching it rise (unless it is to wait until a certain price to pay for something). Either to help Bitcoin, help yourselves, help others, etc... If I understand your post correctly I think you guys are really awesome! Keep in mind that by helping Bitcoin you will most likely be helping also yourselves and others :). If I had that amount to spend I would probably try to open up a new market for Bitcoin with the focus on helping people to (re-)gain control over their own issues. First thing that comes to my mind is to use the money to install as many Bitcoin-exchange-shops in Africa as possible so expats don't have to use WU and the like anymore and can send back their hard earned money without loosing 15 or 20 percent, which their families could then spend on food. We are talking billions every year that could be spent on food instead of transaction fees. This way you could help a few hundred people to start their own business (the exchange shops) or get a job (if you would run the shops yourself and employ them), you could nail them down to a reasonable fee and you would promote Bitcoin like fuck. Once Bitcoin gets established the shops would get obsolete as people would quickly learn how to receive Bitcoin without them. But right now it would need the shops to start the whole process. And you would hit some banksters where it hurts them the most, cutting down their profits. Hell, you would probably start the end of WU and Moneygram :). Go!

That's a good question. I think i'll donate some of them and with the rest i'll buy the things i like.And you are actually spending it, not just holding it and watching it rise (unless it is to wait until a certain price to pay for something).

Post by: jwzguy on March 22, 2013, 05:44:27 PM If the stipulation is that I have to get rid of them, I'd dedicate my life to out-tipping hardleft121. Which may be an exercise in futility.

Title: Re: What would you do with 10,000 Bitcoins? Post by: bitcoiner32 on March 26, 2013, 02:11:13 AM First, I'd buy one of those cars from wikispeed:
http://www.wikispeed.com/wikispeed-team-blog/wikispeed-first-car-maker-in-the-world-to-accept-bitcoin-press-release Then once they have bitcoin ATMs available I'd buy a bunch of those and offer them to every business in town. I liked the suggestion of setting up exchanges for expats who wire money back home, so I'd give one ATM to the latino center here in town. In reality, if I had 10,000 bitcoins but had to spend them right now I'd buy as much food and non-perishables with the bitcoin as I could, use the remaining ~$700,000 worth of bitcoin to buy gold and silver (75/25 between goldmoney.com and physical bullion in a safety deposit box) and honestly probably just go back to living my life pretty much how I do now, with an eye on early retirement. But I'd probably travel more. Title: Re: What would you do with 10,000 Bitcoins? Post by: niko on March 26, 2013, 04:04:36 AM Invest with Pirate!
Alternatively, and more seriously, donate half of it to developers and evangelists whose effort you deem productive thus far. The other half - burn priv keys, KLF style, film the burning, and send footage to Spekulatius for his documentary. Prove that lost coins do not affect Bitcoin system, ad nobody gives a fuck. |
