Title: Game on! Post by: proudhon on March 19, 2012, 03:29:32 PM This (http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/03/19/could-bitcoin-become-the-currency-of-system-d/) is too awesome an article not to get its own thread.
Quote Critics of bitcoin as a currency are quick to point out that not many merchants accept it as a payment type yet. That will change. And, they also point out that the total available market is severely limited. Oh, how wrong! Bitcoin’s first potential mega-market just so happens to be the second largest economy in the world and its sole competitor in that sphere is depreciating government paper cash. Game on (http://youtu.be/-58-36lSqG4?t=3s). http://i41.tinypic.com/257i1i8.gif Take a bow Jon Matonis. Title: Re: Game on! Post by: hazek on March 19, 2012, 03:52:46 PM Yep I really enjoyed it too.

Citizen Kane there is clapping for his talentless girl friend. I hope our support for bitcoin is of a different nature. ;) Back to the subject, that is a good article. Title: Re: Game on!

Title: Re: Game on! Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on March 25, 2012, 03:47:09 AM Just wanted to post this about Jon Matonis http://www.crunchbase.com/person/jon-matonis, found while doing other research (no, I'm not hunting Satoshi--I do that on Wednesdays ;D)

Hi Jon !! Strong Work !! Title: Re: Game on! Post by: Portnoy on March 25, 2012, 10:18:30 PM Based on the Crunchbase profile, I'd say there is about a 98% chance he reads these forum threads. Given that he posts here quite often I would say that is a good bet. ;) matonis (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1986) |
