Title: Bitcoin Black Friday 2020
Post by: Waldschrat2 on November 14, 2020, 10:24:22 AM
(was unable to find an existing topic on Bitcoin Black Friday via Search, if it exists happy for a link)

In just 2 weeks the Bitcoin Black Friday action is resuming  :)

What to expect:

Bitcoin Black Friday 2020 Will Host Major Discounts For BTC Payments  (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-black-friday-2020-will-host-major-discounts-for-btc-payments)

Quote
In 2013, the holiday became an opportunity to help children affected by a major typhoon in the Philippines. That same year, BitPay announced that it had processed a record-breaking 55,288 bitcoin merchant transactions in November thanks to the holiday.

But the celebration fizzled in 2017 when Bitcoin’s use as a payments tool became conflated with the larger community debate over block sizes and on-chain transaction speeds. Since then, there have been major scaling and payments advancements, like the evolution of the Lightning Network and the emergence of new payment card and processing solutions.

Given that progress, we at Bitcoin Magazine have decided that it’s time to recast the narrative around Bitcoin payments and remind the world that Bitcoin is an incredible tool for commerce and the inevitable currency of choice for the internet.

Bitcoin BlackFriday 2020! (Interview John Riggins - BitcoinMagazine) (https://bitcoinsaigon.org/bitcoin-black-friday-john-riggins-bitcoinmagazine/)

Quote
The key driver of that attention is quality deals, so in this reboot of Bitcoin Black Friday, a successful event means featuring more and higher quality deals than in any previous year and driving more people to use the Bitcoin network for payments, including technology that wasn’t as ready for prime time for the last iteration of Bitcoin Black Friday like the Lightning Network. Looking forward, compounding that growth year on year as a small player in the path toward hyperbitcoinization is the success that we are looking for.

I did not know about Bitcoin Black Friday. This year, I will try to spend some from my pocket to buy advanced membership on Trading View if they give discounted price on Bitcoin Black Friday 2020.

I did not have spare fund to spend the membership on Trading View and only use free version for years.

I am also hearing this name for the first time but it's astonishing that this site is live since many years.

Currently I see some good offers on going with mostly focusing on bitcoin related services. I wish they had regular offers with bitcoin as payment. That will add more fun to it.

It's good that I got introduced to new offers though. Thanks.

If it is legal business, then it is a very nice offer. Maybe there are some people who want to share their experiences about any purchases they have made.
Since this is new on the forum, it is important that we gain confidence in it and some certainty before ordering products.
I am a fan of such promotions, which can secretly make quite a difference of money when you see things you want to buy.

Definitely a thread somewhere, not on my regular device right now but no harm promoting it here anyway!

Personally looking this year for a VR set for PS4. Was hoping to look at local retailers and if I find even 20% off regular will end up buying, and then might even use the Purse option for a bit of cashback since they actually have a card for the merchant.

For those new, this is usually the best time to get a hardware wallet;)

That's a pretty nice website..But it's a bit strange that they're not listing some of the big retailers that accept BTC as payment like Newegg and Overstock. The former uses BitPay meaning they also accept other cryptos. Both sites already have some early Black Friday deals (:

Thanks OP, This looks like a cool website. This is the first time I hear something like 'Bitcoin Black Friday' in my whole life and didn't know about it before but if anything exists like that to get cool discounts. Don't know how real is that. Also, I see the 'hosting-vpn' is there. Lucky I wanted to buy a host and domain for my new website and by mentioning this website you helped a lot Also looking for tradingview discount to upgrade my account. However, I prefer to wait and see how legit is this website.

Just a little reminder...

We had previous Bitcoin Black Friday events where people were duped into buying super cheap items and goods, but it was just one big scam. These offers was not real and it was just an opportunity for criminals to cash in on the hype of this event and to capitalize on people's greed.

So.... when you see something that are too good to believe... think about this post... take a breath and dig a little deeper. It happened before and it is going to happen again.  >:(

Also the more we spend, the lower the price will go.. from people selling coins to buy bargains and also merchants converting Bitcoin back to Fiat.  ::)

So good to see amazing deals available in the Bitcoin Black Friday. As long as this is legitimate and the offers are for real then this can be one of the best ways we can promote Bitcoin and make it as a medium of exchange (buy and sell goods/services) and not just an investment tool to hold and hide. Putting more incentives so that people will be using their Bitcoin (and even any other cryptocurrency for that matter) can be good for business in general.

Yes, 2 years ago I got a hardware wallet as Trezor is offering 30%++ off back then.  ;D

And I do hope that they will have another Black Friday sale this year.

I also agree with @Kakmakr, you just have to be very careful as scammer for sure will ply the market with too good to be true offers.

Check the forum here too in the Marketplace section. There are some traders who do really good deals, but yeah. I use this period to get some nifty price deals, Bitcoin at this price makes it especially worthwhile too.

Considering a bit more than a Trezor this year;)

Congratulations for the initiative! I'm pretty sure I come across this website the recent years as well, but I haven't really checked it out. The design is quite appealing to be honest. Orange-black is one of my favorite colour combinations as a matter of fact. :D

Quite some deals there. There's even some ways to earn some sats by spending your time (aka surveys and other tasks). Cool, but I wonder if there is any filter for the showcased deals? I mean do you do any due diligence on the deals or you are simply an aggregator?

Black Friday sale will be conducted by every shopping platform. It is possible to make use of the bitcoin on these day. Now a separate domain being created for the purpose of Black Friday helps people easily spend the bitcoins than going in search of bitcoin accepted services.

I take it an opportunity to brief people about the true meaning of Black Friday, which isn't known to many. Everyone have a common thinking, it is the shoppers day.

Different reasons were stated for the same. One is about the two investors buying gold and experiencing crash. Same day the foreign trade too got stopped. Farmers too suffered cultivation cut by half. This happened in 1869.

Next reason mentioned is the day after thanksgiving and the army-navy game. By that day huge crowd can be seen on the streets shopping for long hours. This happened by the year 1950 which is being kept as the beginning for the "Black Friday" we celebrate.

Just saw this as I was trawling... as I was saying above: great time to get yourself a hardware wallet if you haven't already.

Check out this sweet 40% deal from Ledger. Think this is even better than last year's offer (IIRC): https://shop.ledger.com/pages/black-friday

Trezor's for sure going to put something out similar.

Beesbros is the absolute best Bitcoin business I've been dealing with for years on end. Can't say enough good things about them. And they always run a Black Friday sale.

I think they also keep all their BTC proceeds... must be doing quite nicely right now :)

I've been looking for Bitcoin Black Friday for some time and now I see that whole website was made for it. Wow, great thing, thank you for making it.
Last year on Black Friday I got good hosting deal from Namecheap. This year I'm not looking for something spevific. But if I will find interesting deals, I definitely will use chance to use it.

Bitcoin Black Friday 2020 events are an opportunity to spend Bitcoin, because usually there are many discount offers.
So don't miss the opportunity to spend Bitcoin on Bitcoin Black Friday 2020. I've visited the website, there are lots of
attractive offers. Please visit the Bitcoin Black Friday website, and choose the offer that you really need. Remember to
spend your Bitcoin wisely, don't over-spend the Bitcoin we have.

Bitcoin Black Friday is almost here. Now I'm looking for VPN deals. I see there is quite many offers, but I don't know which one to pick, because I haven't used any VPN recently. So, it would be nice if someone would share what they are using. For me VPN is needed not for privacy, but to bypass geo-blocking mainly.
And it would be interesting to see what deals did you found and what you bought.

I found this news at cryptonews.com. Reportedly, ShapeShift is going with another round of $5 KeepKey as a special Black Friday / Cyber Monday offer.
Does anyone know anything more about this? When does the sale start?
