It is like a start up company, which already had an IPO. At least you can sell your bitcoins if you need money in a hurry. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

rich = has the money, connection, power, that we can abuse and use.
poor = has nothing. Not necessarilty good people. nothing that we can use.
ie we love the rich because we are selfish and materialistic.

I think your question is " Can the fact that I stole bitcoins be proven?"

my only use of bitcoin was to this forum removing EVIL. Other than that I don't have any use of it in Bangladesh.
I guess you could face 12 years in jail if you bought anything with bitcoin. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Apple Pay isn’t even here yet and, arguably, it’s already winning the war against bitcoin.
When merchants see that they have to pay Banks + Payment Processors + Apple, I think they would rush to Bitcoin.

Seems to be an interesting read. Some real life incidents seem to have been made part of the story - Nigerians protesting in Goa after one of their countrymen is killed.... Silk Road seems to have been changed to "Cotton Trail". Too much. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Once bitcoin's popularity increases, I am sure banks will push their way into the bitcoin economy.

Capitalism cannot exist without systemic, mass-scale violence. Ergo, any person who wants to live in a world governed by reason musit be opposed to capitalism.
Bullshit. Capitalism is the only economic system that can succeed without fraud or initiating the use of force. Voluntary trade between free individuals would lead to an incredibly prospeous society. Thankfully, Bitcoin will move us closer to that ideal. obviously you are right but some people have already decided that capitalism must be bad no matter what the facts are. If it is so bad, I wonder why it is the only surviving system. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Our country is not quite that bad, at least not yet. The real issue is that the legalism of marijuana is going to lead to a less productive workforce which means a slower growing economy
Legalization of marijuana does not imply wider use and a less productive workforce. It will only drive the drug lords out of business and result in higher tax collections.

I am all for making btc stronger by making it more accessible to noobs. Just don't over focus on short term price increases as the desired outcome.
The selling point of BTC should be its ease of transfer across national boundaries, the low transaction cost, etc. I agree that focussing on price increase alone would be a mistake.

Nope. I doubt if anybody has managed to join a campaign with their very first post. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I would suggest exploring the Beginners & Help section.

I doubt if the bitcoin ecosystem is mature enough that anyone is keeping over 50% of the BTC they earn. Fiat is still needed to pay most business expenses, I'm guessing. There are a few examples of some employees being paid in BTC though.
Agree. Or they should have ridiculously high margins. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

The men behind India's first Bitcoin exchangehttp://www.business-standard.com/article/specials/the-men-behind-india-s-first-bitcoin-exchange-114100900750_1.html After his stint at Hilton, Nikkam returned to India in 2013, intent on working in the Indian Bitcoin business. “I started searching online for Bitcoin activity or community in Bangalore and came across the India Bitcoin meet-up. That got me excited. I have been part of this movement ever since,” he says.
He met Vishwanath at one such meet-up and the two decided to set up a business in the crypto-currency. They launched Unocoin in December 2013 and, in less than a year, claim to have a membership of 3,000 registered users. Though the number of operators in India is small, the players say there have been 150,000 wallet downloads so far.
