Title: New to the Forum
Post by: IncreaseMyT on September 24, 2013, 04:35:07 PM
Hello All,

I am new to the forum here but have been reading it for a bit now.  It took me a while but I understand the benefits of cryptocurrency now and the value of Bitcoin.  I am a small business owner who works as an intermediary between physicians, pharmacies and patients specifically for androgen deficiency.

I am very excited about some of the things that are happening with Bitcoin, for one the article referencing the new Bitcoin ATM that are getting put in the ATL area.  I work in ATL from time to time and my sister lives there.  I understand how the economy is thriving there and ATL is becoming more and more like California, introducing new trends to the United States.

Once it becomes accessible to more, especially with an ATM system, I think people will want them just because.  The possibilities are endless and I don't think we can even imagine how we will use cryptocurrencies in the future.  This reminds me of a time I sat in front of MS DOS back in the day and it took me 30 minutes to get the command right to start the video game I wanted to play, I was amazed then and couldn't fathom at that point anything like the internet.

I think it is an exciting time to understand and follow Bitcoin.

Thanks for having me on the forum, I hope to learn as much as I can.

 ;D

Check it out, it may come sooner than later.

Bitcoins, the online currency built on cryptography and beloved by libertarians, could be available for purchase through specialized ATMs in the United States this year.

At least two firms have plans to ship out Bitcoin ATMs to American cities in the coming months.

Welcome, these Bitcoin ATMs may start wide adoption of Bitcoin

Thanks for the warm welcome!  Glad to be here.  We just started accepting Bitcoin today for our bussiness :)  Once I get the payment page finished I am going to announce it on one of the forums we sponsor.  Hopefully we can stir up some chatter about it and get people interested  :P

Indeed but the emphasis must lie on the word may. Average Joe probably needs some incentive to swap his bankster paper for bitcoin beyond simply seeing the machine standing there.

I would normally agree with you, but for some reason they are appealing.  With the right sign next to it, your could spark some serious interest.

They may not be instant exchanges, people may see the machine and look it up.  Once they see it a few times they may just buy them.  Also whoever is putting these in would hopefully be smart enough to show the retailers in the mall how much they can save buy accepting Bitcoin, not to mention getting their money right away, I can not begin to explain how important the latter is to small business.

Then those businesses should offer a 5% discount when paying with Bitcoin.  This would create your own stimulating environment in the mall setting :)

By the way, as a guy way late to Bitcoin, I bought them just because I wanted to have some lol Just because of the promise, which can be powerful in and of itself.

Anyways, Just my 2 cents  ;D
