It wouldn't cost much to run full page ads in their papers (online or hard copy)... with links to educational materials and wallets

They don't need internet connection or smart phones... as mentioned towers are not a problem

That moment when they actively use bitcoin and bitcoin price fall to rock bottom overnight would be a disaster
Wild ass guess... but maybe they'll be buying coins too  Wink

The Senator from WV actually said the "Federal Reserve should be in charge of bitcoin"... isn't that the one of main reasons the white papers were written?... guess who pocket he's in.


The bigger picture is the importance of exposure (no coincidence btc is up a few $'s today)... hopefully someone edits this into a short promotional youtube vid.

Oh man, these hacks brought lawyers to our forum?.... just fucking go away... perfect reason why folks choose bitcoin over convoluted govt authority.
Let's see... why would anyone want an alternative to fake money printing and corrupt banks?

A mass campaign for supporting greece and bitcoin adaption could be a good start.

Here we go again. Another thread dedicated to FUD.  Smiley

That too from a newbie like everytime.
Yeah, like they had nothing better to do than jump into a bitcoin forum to try to scare people from btc... lol
Fortunately smart people reside here and see their puppet ways.... is this the "then they fight you" phase?
149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Four Strikes Against Bitcoin on: February 20, 2015, 08:26:44 PM
Telleroftruth... what's your reason for being here?
What's in it for you to talk down bitcoin?

Every time the possibility of mass adoption is mentioned there's always a govt official or media outlet saying "see, it's not secure you could lose your investment"... this is why the majority of VC funding needs to belong to improving security first. Until we can go several months without more news about exchanges getting hacked or several people hitting the forums with new lost coins it will be a tough sell.
It doesn't matter that the banks are also being hacked and major retailers CC systems are being compromised... that info isn't going to change the masses way of doing business as usual... we have to prove without a doubt that the wallet system is far more secure.
Sure best practices can prevent theft but for some reason it's not sinking in.
Let the traditional old heads have their regulated exchanges if that makes them feel safe as long as this isn't forced on those that don't want to be controlled/manipulated.
151  Bitcoin / Press / 2015-02-20 Bitcoin will be a big mess for bitcoin holders and the IRS on: February 20, 2015, 05:28:16 AM
Tax season is right around the corner, and most Americans are getting their W2s and paperwork ready.

And as virtual currency like Bitcoin becomes increasingly intertwined in consumer and corporate culture, the Internal Revenue Service may struggle to regulate and prosecute digital scofflaws.

Scared?  I could tell you that for the last year I held my money in the bank (i.e. lie, that happens in the intertubes).  As laughably stupid as doing that may be, it's still ~2 to 4 times better than what you did with your slick BTC & silver investings in the past year.

I mean, at least them fiat stooges didn't lose themselves most of their money last year.
Not like you Undecided

Just curious... since you're apposed to btc what is your purpose on this form?... just taking a stroll in forumland to warn everyone of bitcoin evils?... sounds like a puppet.

Their govt probably took it down... the writer is currently walking the plank  Tongue

Anyway that money was insured so it's ok ... the biggest thieves on earth are insurance companies Smiley
Exactly, does anybody know if the insurance companies have tried to get in on the bitcoin insurance bandwagon yet?
Would be a hard job for them but if you can prove that your cold storage is safe with 2 of 3 or similar then I'm sure some insurance company would take you on.

Maybe even use it as a selling point, Trezor insurance sounds good.
Circle claims to have all btc insured.

Old?... as in less than one day.

I don't see as many players this time... when each time they could have waited and got in cheaper. Draper in or out?
158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hacking,hacked,lost everywhere?!!!! on: February 19, 2015, 01:05:42 AM
Trojans & keyloggers... then there's governments hacking every HD manufacturer... we have to take security more seriously
159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Govt Auction... Round 3 on: February 18, 2015, 11:06:15 PM

China will loosen it reins on btc once they notice a financial disadvantage from international acceptance.
