You don't get listed on bter through voting..... Let the devs contact BTER and pay them off, it is not expensive... Nop, the funded btc is very small, less than 60 btc. Yes, and getting on bter costs less than 5 BTC if your coin isn't complete and utter shit. |

@question authority: Wikimedia needs to sell those coins. Like they need to sell stock donated to them. Even if they'd love to hold them, they can't because of the structure of their foundation. Read it up..

Or are you considering international purchases?
My OP was made because i was selling a bike on gumtree for $150 i think but also said half price if paying in bitcoin just to see what interest i got from it, not one person wanted to pay in bitcoin but everybody asked "what is it"? Some researched it and came back saying it just looked to hard for them to bother with. I know its not that easy to begin with and it made me think with all the money being put in to bitcoin why is it still not easy for the average joe? Wow. I'm actually surprised no one took you up on that offer in order to save $75. That really speaks volumes about the state of Bitcoin usability. "speaks volumes" really? Do you know the term samplesize? A real use case example with multiple people expressing interest and not a single person being able to take him up on his offer says a lot. I'm not trying to make a statistical inference here. The fact that no one was able or willing to google 'buy bitcoin', buy some, and buy the guys bike and save 50% is not an ideal situation is it? I would love to see a similar experiment repeated on a larger scale to gather more data. But in the mean time his original point of bitcoin not being easy to use for the average Joe holds true, does it not? I bet you would be more successful offering a 10% discount than 50%. If you first hear about bitcoin and someone offers you a 50% discount out of the blue, wouldn't you be skeptical? Like: what is his angle, what does he gain by that? Many shops that offered BTC with discount had many inquiries from Bitcoin newbs. There is interest there, but not on a random craigslist site... |

Yeah, some poeple made the right decision in buying some Stellar shortterm. Still I don't really see the added value just now. It will come from trading things ontop of Stellar, not stellars itself. |

What is the most dangerous creature of our planet?? What you think  I think those giant squids from the bottom of the sea are incredibly powerful and also quite dangerous. Imagine swimming in the sea and such a creature just comes by and eats you alive, man. I wouldn't want to encounter them while scuba diving, either! Good thing they are at the bottom of the sea and when they surface they are usually dead  |

If I could not find the sender I would invest in shares of klyemax studios.  All kidding aside I would try to find the sender and if I could not find them I would invest it. Hahah, did you invest in him? That story was incredible, wasn't it? I mean it was money he raised from freaking investors, for crying out loud!!! It's one thing to gamble away your own money, but the money from people who trusted you with their money.... Never! No, I stayed far away from that. That was a train wreck that anyone that spent time at Just Dice could see coming. It was entertaining to watch for sure. yeah, a guy that handles money so badly (gambling ect) that he gets homeless wants to run a company. What could go wrong. |

tradefortres wallet or goat??  None of those guys have that much BTC. you'll never know just count how much btc they scammed from their investor TF has about 4000+~10000 BTC stolen from his customers and maybe a few thousand he had himself. No way that he has 52000 BTC Man that guy really is in for a lot of bad Karma!!! I assume they'll soon regret what they did, since their bad conscience will force them into depression or returning that money. No one can live with that guilt! So sad to see such things happen! I bet he can pay the best psychotherapist to heal him with that kind of money. Sadly nothing will happen from the persecution side  |

Makes you wonder, what would have happend, if wikimedia accepted bitcoins way back and not sold all. Like wikileaks. They'dn't need a fund raiser for years to come |

Again thats the problem. Most people just hold, in hopes of making more cash. Why would you pay with Bitcoin if you barely have 1 BTC in the first place? If your were getting paid with BTC instead of fiat for your job, then that's something, because BTC wouldn't be such a rare thing to own. But while BTC is mostly achiveable by exchanging it for FIAT first, people don't see the point. It's like paying with a piece of gold instead of paying with something as mundane as FIAT.
But it is a visious cycle. If people don't intend to spend bitcoin, noone will offer it as payment solution. Now if noone offers it as payment solution, it will not grow. It is a chicken-egg problem and I think the community is doing just fine with spending their bitcoin! |

Better question maybe...
What would you do if you setgenerate true and mined a block with 25 bitcoin after only a few seconds?
Then there's no moral obligation to send it back to anyone, because there's nobody to send it back to (unless you decide to distribute it evenly among everyone who has bitcoin, proportional to the amount they have, but I don't see the purpose in doing that).
Yep, exactly. That would be a much better question! |

He said he had no collateral, and I told him that he had and that I would execpt it. I am not supporting such activity... |

It was a valid request wasn't it?
No, you don't know what you're doing. Maybe enlighten me? |

Every day more businesses are accepting bitcoins. It's an expanding universe, ofcourse with pullbacks when it goes too fast. Enter the market well after a pullback and you be sitting pretty even with 1 or 2 btc's.
Exactly, people forget that if you invested 500$ 3 years ago you would have a nice amount of money now. Same is happening now, if you invest 500$ now and the adoption keeps the same pace, you will get a nice chunk of money out of it! People who mined using their PCs a few years ago are sitting on a pile of cash. That is unlikely to happen now. That is true, because the environment of mining changed. The investment part, didn't. |

Lets assume that BTC doesn't gain in "value". Only rises because of inflation. Today 580 Year XXXX = 1,000,000 Inflation = 4% 580*1,04^x = 1,000,000 1,04^x=1724 x= ~190 years So in 190 years we will see a price of 1,000,000 USD even if BTC doesn't gain in purchasing power So BTC will hit $1,000,000 USD but none of us will be alive to see it happen. I wouldn't be so sure about that. Medicine is so innovative and innovations coming in big heaps! Who knows, maybe in 30 years with stemcells you will be able to heal nearly every injury and every aspect of getting older. Scientists are predicting that the first human to reach 200 years old, is already born. Spooky! No point in living so long if you are plagued with old age problems. Just increasing longevity is of no use, if you are suffering from alzheimers. I hope all diseases are cured in the future too.  As I wrote, the stemcell therapy will most likely be able to cure all old age problems! |

The reason why Bitcoin won't be used instead of BTC, is because the creators of this coin run a pump and dump scheme and want to profit the maximum. This is 100% vaporware, but I guess people don't care...
those people are bag holders..you mean why URO wont be used instead of BTC Yeah, was a typo. URO is dust in the air. Nothing but smoke and a broke promise. |
