http://cointelegraph.com/news/112177/botswana-bitcoin-lady-raising-btc-for-african-childrens-charityA female African blogger known to the Internet as the “Bitcoin Ambassador” to Botswana is using her blog to raise Bitcoin donations in support of a local charity that cares for orphaned and abandoned children.
Alakanani Itireleng, a Bitcoin enthusiast from Botswana who has built an Internet following from her efforts to spread cryptocurrency awareness around the country, says she is fundraising Bitcoins for SOS Children’s Villages.

I disagree with this. True, the price staying pretty stationary and actually dropping a little is weird giving all the merchant adoption recntly it still matters regardless. Merchants are what we need to push bitcoin along as a genuine and useable currency.
That is one possible point of view, opposite to the one presented in the article. It is true that mass adoption is impossible without convenient ways for a user to spend their bitcoins on things they need. But it is equally important to make the very idea of Bitcoin widely known and accepted: if there are no people who are aware of Bitcoin's existence and want to use it, the abundance of merchants won't help a bit. This is what in large part drives merchant adoption. I guess the truth, as it often happens, lies somewhere in between: advances in both merchant adoption and public awareness sum up to provide a synergetic effect and move the Bitcoin ecosystem forward as a whole. |

That might be bad idea, cause i'm not sure that it would be safe, but i can't stop imagining myself on a big mountain.

Ha, woot! I wonder if all the agents over at the FBI actually have email addresses that begin with "agent..." Ha, that'd be awesome! What if they've got multiple agents with the same name, though?
Kipsy, that's obviously would look like agentDaveDaBoss, or agentDave1, or even like agentDaveIamTheFirstDaveinFBI, meh, i can't stop thinking about weird names which all FBI's Daves could use  |

http://cointelegraph.com/news/112128/bitcoin-the-stripe-perspective-is-the-view-that-will-render-bitcoin-uselessThe Stripe Perspective seems to be that Bitcoin is only useful as a backend to the current financial system. Like many similar articles before it mostly coming from companies looking to dominate the facilitation of transactions, it attempts to mold Bitcoin into the current financial system that has not had major innovations for the majority of people alive today.
Bitcoin is already doing much more than what the Author sees for its future. Mass adoption will come in due time with technological improvements on the Blockchain as oppose to simply speeding up financial functionality that was proven broken in the 2008 financial crisis.

http://cointelegraph.com/news/112108/internet-marketing-hero-sazeeb-blesses-bangladesh-with-bitcoinWe talk a great deal about how the large economic powers are reacting to Bitcoin and some of the efforts being carried out regionally to enhance Bitcoin awareness in major markets like the United States and China.
What we often miss however is how important smaller nations, especially countries with large tech presences, are to the success of Bitcoin. Bangladesh is an excellent example of this and the new Bitcoin Foundation Bangladesh seems to be an excellent example of a great start on cryptocurrency education in the region.
