If Paypal accept Bitcoin this will be really great news and it will help a lot Bitcoin to become finally mainstream.
It's true that some users don't like Paypal much because of different reasons but still for a lot people Paypal is the most convenient way of online payment so if Paypal accept Bitcoin, this will help Paypal users to accept Bitcoin much sooner Smiley

11163  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The members of this forum have an opportunity to change the world on: August 01, 2014, 07:22:22 PM
I'm being philosophical here, but out of all the bitcoins in existence, I would say 15% or more are held by members of this forum.

Imagine this, Bitcoin 5-10 years down the road is worth $50,000 a piece.

If this happens, and members of this forum pledge 5-10% of their bitcoins for humanitarian efforts, we can change the world.

Just doing some numbers, 15% of 13 million is 1,950,000. This is how many bitcoins the members of this forum have.

5% of 1,950,000 is 97,500.

100,000 bitcoins at 50,000 is worth 5 billion dollars.

You can change the planet with $5 billion dollars. It's amazing.

With all the talk about Bitcoin stopping wars, etc. There is so much opportunity for humanity to thrive off of this wealth transfer.

If Bitcoin ever hits $50,000, I am pledging 5% or more to humanitarian efforts.



Very noble idea, you are really idealistic man but reality is very different.
You can't change the world with money or maybe it's more correct to say, you can't change the world ONLY with money.
You also need political will, cooperation from governments, support from people etc.
Money alone can't solve everything but it can help in some way Smiley

Great idea how to help them and also promote Bitcoin in the same way!
You did great job here.
I hope many Bitcoin users will support it!
11165  Other / Off-topic / Re: What should we stop doing? on: July 31, 2014, 08:08:57 PM
We should stop destroying Planet Earth, its nature, resources, animal world etc.
We should stop killing people in useless wars.
We should stop hating each other.

11166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: do you think folk from argentina are going to.. on: July 31, 2014, 07:59:01 PM
This can be dome just by the government, not ordinary people.
It's really question if they will consider Bitcoin as real solution for their problems.
But, if they do, it will really help not just them but also us, in the term of popularity, global acceptance etc...
11167  Other / Off-topic / Re: New Harry Potter covers revealed on: July 31, 2014, 07:55:29 PM
Great cover indeed!
It bring me back some very nice memories from my childhood Smiley
Thank you for sharing!
Do you have more covers?
11168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there really anything else to say about BTC at this point? ░░░░POLL░░░░ on: July 31, 2014, 07:38:21 PM
I think that Bitcoin  is still ongoing process and until everything complete, it's still a lot things to talk about, like how to help it to become mainstream, how to reach merchants, about regulations, government issues, taxes etc.
11169  Other / Off-topic / Re: Human Values ................. on: July 31, 2014, 07:21:13 PM
............. maybe we need some global 'reform'. After all, we are all brothers and sisters aren't we? Equality and social justice are within reach today.

"It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary." - Bucky Fuller

Yes, we need global reform because our societies and governments are selfish and doesn't work for the global purpose and humanity but their own, particular interest.
because of this we are destroying our resources, water, nature, global weather changing etc.
Real question is who can start such global reform?
Religions leaders?
NGO leaders?
UN?
11170  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Does anyone support 0bama anymore?? on: July 31, 2014, 07:15:13 PM
I think many people in the world support (ad love him) him because of his charisma, leadership, and peace initiatives in the world, what is very different from his predecessor President Bush, who started a few very useless wars and created more instability and chaos in the world.
I think that most people outside of the USA don't really understand why anybody want to start legal process against Obama in the US Congress.


 
11171  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Argentina the cyprus of 2014? on: July 31, 2014, 07:09:21 PM
No, I don't think that Argentina is the Cyprus of 2014?
Cyprus had difficulties due to the World crisis a few years ago.
Current crisis in Argentina have roots in first bankruptcy of this country 10 years ago.
So cause for this country is entirely different, not connected with the current economic crisis in the world but because of their national debts and inability to pay it.

Prophet Satoshi leading people out of Debt slavery and inflation!

LOL Very interesting statement but in my opinion Satoshi is just great businessman with the great business project- Bitcoin, what is still ongoing project and if we want that Bitcoin succeed and become mainstream, we should help (one person can't do all the work) by contacting merchants and asking them to include Bitcoin as payment option for users.

11174  Other / Off-topic / Re: Funny but interesting.. on: July 30, 2014, 08:14:10 PM
Okay so this might sound funny but the real side is interesting. While thinking upon several thoughts I came up with the idea of buying the domain kimkardashian.link I was kinda skeptic as I won't be getting more than perhaps 500 for this. What do you guys say?

It's depend mostly of quality of your site and how you will advertise this site.
If you do this in good way, you can even even good income from your site Smiley
11175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what is the first question you would ask, if you met Satoshi Nakamoto? on: July 30, 2014, 08:02:10 PM
What is your vision behind Bitcoin and final goal you are hoping to achieve?
and thank you for such great, revolutionary project which will change the world.
11176  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why is liverpool buying subpar players to fill in their team? on: July 30, 2014, 07:48:42 PM
I don't think so.
Suarez is player out of control, and it's always risk play with him in the team.
Liverpool really needed urgently some good defense player and in this season they could find at least one (Lovren) so I think they made smart decision.
Any way, soon we will find out Smiley
11177  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Israelis chanting “There’s no school tomorrow, there’s no children left in Gaza" on: July 30, 2014, 07:30:21 PM
It's very sad to watch such things.
It looks that in extreme situation like war, it's very easy to loose sense of humanity and allow negative feelings like hatred to lead life.
I still believe that most people in Israel doesn't feel this way.
11178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wikimedia Foundation is now accepting Bitcoin donations on: July 30, 2014, 07:22:53 PM
I woke up and saw this email in my inbox:

Hi John Doe

Thanks for your email.  I wanted you to be among the first to know that as of this morning, the Wikimedia Foundation is accepting Bitcoin donations!

Later today, you'll receive a generic email from the Foundation with the news, but I'm hoping that my note reaches you first.  If your offer is still good, we're definitely interested, and we would be very grateful for your generosity and your patience! 

You can donate here: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Ways_to_Give/en#bitcoin.

Best,
Caitlin

Another great news for Bitcoin community and another step in becoming mainstream.
We need many more such small success in order to became famous and popular in global Internet community.
In fact Bitcoin is perfect tool for donations online!

From the business and communication side of story I don't think that our life could be better without Internet.
but, it's true that in Internet age people don't spend so much time together, kids doesn't play together outside like their parents, virtual life replace real life in some way...
11180  Other / Politics & Society / Re: North korea threatens DC with nukes on: July 30, 2014, 06:56:24 PM
Yes, it seems very funny and ridiculous to hear such threatens from North Korea over and over again but still they can make a lot damage to South Korea with their weapons and if they fail in the state of depression they can even start limited was conflict in Korean peninsula in order to mobilize their own people.
 As long as this regime is in the power, situation there will be very tense and US troops will have to stay there.
