Yes it can be a method of payment but I think in the future since bitcoin must be accepted from more companies. Also volatility is something that must be taken in consideration.
22  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are bitcoiners regular at Facebook ? on: October 30, 2014, 03:13:58 PM
Before to post my comment I want to say that I'm not a regular user of Facebook like posting comments photos etc but honestly I'm not against anyone have an account on this Facebook. Privacy is a big issue for all of us and as far as I can understand if Facebook or someone else spy the people who have an account, what he/she/they spy is what anyone post.
Bitcoin for me is an asset, an asset that can be the next generation way of payment. Since for me is an asset and I.m not posting on Facebook anything about my assets then nobody is able to know if I'm engage somehow with Bitcoin or other Digital Currencies.
But Yes I like to see groups and communities on Facebook posting let's say more educational material and news from around the world that have to do with Bitcoins and Digital Currencies.

We are updating our billboard on the side of a VERY busy expressway in Silicon Valley California.  (Lawrence Expressway just south of Central Expressway)
The billboard will be seen by tens of thousands of people per day.

We are considering the following layout:



I would like to hear the bitcoin community's thoughts on ways to improve the effectiveness of this ad.

Please give me any thoughts, ideas, design changes you may have.

As far as I know if you have someone close to you in a bank and you want to learn the financial situation of another person then is very easy. A search and here it is all the information. Deposits, loans etc. This think is awful. I mean yes you have to disclose to your bank all your details in order to get some credit facilities but banks must establish some mechanisms that prevent banks employees from entering whenever they want to the account of someone and looking to his/her profile. These are personal details.

29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Very interesting points on Bitcoin by a great Economist on: October 03, 2014, 12:14:05 PM
peter schiff is not an idiot, infact you have to imply reverse psychology to see his true motives..

everyone knows he is a gold hoarder, and if he was really seing a large investment return on gold, he would hoard HIS gold and get people to buy gold on gold markets to get the price to increase.

now for the reverse psychology.
if he sells you HIS GOLD then its not because he loves gold and wants you to join his love for it. its because he wants to dump his hoard. also to note by accepting bitcoins, shows that HE WANTS bitcoins. why else swap gold for bitcoins unless he secretly prefers it.



http://www.europacmetals.com/ has very low fees and doesn't sell Schiff's gold, Schiff is probably having more gold than ever

Also, while Peter Schiff is no idiot, he's also not a "great Economist" by any stretch. He's more just an ardent gold-bug with standard gold-bug arguments and rhetoric.

Anyone remember when he went on a tirade about bitcon's divisibility being the same thing as supply-inflation? That's just bad math and bad thinking (note: his brother Andrew told me in person that he doesn't know what Peter's hang up there is).



Schiff is sometimes wrong but his record is great : dotcom then housing bubble previsions, QE going to go on and get bigger or more recently when he said the price to pay for the form to renounce to your American nationality was going to go up (http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2014/08/28/u-s-hikes-fee-to-renounce-citizenship-by-422/)

He is a business man and a good one but he is mostly an advocate of sound money and austrian economics to fight the witchcraft/wishful thinking economics of the likes of marx, keynes or nowadays thomas piketty

You raise some good points however people are still unaware of bitcoin but those numbers are changing quickly with new companies and media stories. Additionally like some others had mentioned most people won't care to look at the complex infrastructure behind bitcoin they would rather just 'use it' if they can see the benefits without the current challenges users face. Think of how many people use credit cards but then compare that to how many understand fully the credit transaction and how it works. Yet they still use credit cards currently because they are easy to use and they understand the proposed benefits.  Its our job now to start informing more people about bitcoin and making it simple to understand and use rather than bombarding them with this technical explanations they still don't comprehend when all they would like to know is how to use it and why. Its going to take some time for this to be adopted but its important that people like OP understand we need to teach individuals Bitcoin is more than just a currency and it has many utilization that should be considered.

Bitcoin is NOT like a corporate product with massive marketing campaigns and streamlined distribution. It's obviously easier to use your existing credit cards and bank account.

However, unlike credit cards and banks, Bitcoin works to your benefit.

Bitcoin frees you from nonsense such as:
  • Having your account closed without any choice
  • Unfair or inappropriate fees
  • Unwanted surveillance and tracking from banks (what you do with your money should be only your private business!)
  • Comparitively fast and cheap global transactions

And Bitcoin helps promote:
  • Healthy, non-inflating currency
  • Step towards government spending control to reduce funding for unconstitutional wars and excessive government waste
  • Step towards stronger middle class and less poverty
  • Power in your hands, not banks or governments

And so, yes, it is often harder and more complicated to use Bitcoin. It's easy to just sit around and complain that Bitcoin is too hard to use. It's too often looked at from a commercial campaign perspective. Bitcoin vs Credit Cards. Bitcoin vs Google Wallet. But using Bitcoin is something that primarily benefits you to figure out. It is not in the best interest of big corporations or government. It is the money of the people.

I wish people would understand what a wonderful free contribution Bitcoin is to the world of finance and economy, and appreciate whatever already does exist for it.

It will get better, but it's going to be a largely grassroots effort. Companies such as Bitpay, Circle, Coinbase, Overstock, and such all help towards things to some extent, but it's core values and benefits only make sense to be pushed by you the actual user of Bitcoin. That's what these companies are responding to. Assuming that you say the benefits are worth it.

And maybe it just sounds like a pipe dream, but I'd like to think that it's always worth the tiny unhindered baby steps towards world peace. How can it not?

I totaly agree with you.

  • Power in your hands, not banks or governments

Help to avoid the "Bubbles" creating every now and then by Bankers.

Probablyy Cyprus looking at laws but not sure how you will be perceived there by the community since the last fiasco.

yes, before the fiasco, a University in Cyprus was the first in the world among the educational institutes, if I'm right, that started to accept bitcoins as a payment mean. And people thought that perhaps this asset maybe a good investment alternative also due to the real estate bubble. But then happened that fiasco.

Onestopbrokers,

 The 10,000 to 20,000+ criminal bankers, wall street crooks, and various other white collar criminals that are guilty of frauds, various felonies and money laundering totaling trillions of dollars from 2000 to 2014 were not driven to doing so by over-regulation, nor the complete DE-regulation of the financial sector, which is what really occurred during that period of time. Your stating nothing but misinformation in your post Onestopbrokers. But then we both know what your doing and why.

 END THE FED. END ALL CENTRAL BANKING AS WE KNOW IT.

End the Debt-based currencies. Free the World. And afterwords there wont be any need for any income taxes on anyone's personal labors. All the income taxes end up in the hands of the criminal bankers. But that's another lesson for elsewhere.

 Bitcoin is the new "checks" in "checks & balances" for all governments that print too much debt-FREE currencies in the future, a place for peoples to flee to if their governments ever print too much money ever again.

 Bitcoin and those like it is the best thing to happen for both governments and their peoples.

 Soon even the most dimwitted government officials will figure out they can be all that they hoped they could for societies at large, just as soon as they fire the criminal banking cartels, and abolish their debt-based usury currency schemes that the bankers prey off of all of us with into perpetuity. Let's just hope they also decide to toss 10,000 to 20,000+ financial criminals into prison and claw back their ill gotten gains while their at it.


 Bitcoin is Freedom.


Hi Slingshot,

Appreciate your comment. I don't understand why I'm stating misinformation in my post. I'm new to digital currencies.
Look, I used to live in Cyprus during the banks bail in happened back in March 2013 in Cyprus. Believe me, what you are saying about banks I agree 100%. I have experience when bankers used to take enormous bonuses for nothing and more unethical used to take loans for them with 0% interest and deposit these money to other countries accounts. Now these bankers own hundreds of millions and the government forced back then for a bail in so the banks to survive. What the bankers did was to take the deposits of people to save their mistakes. I'm the first that want these corrupted bankers who drove the whole economical systems to deficit to go to jail.
But at the same time, because I used to live in Cyprus when a digital currency was first introduced I will tell you quickly what this firm did.      Heavy advertisements without paying to advertisers for digital currencies to attract people go to them and exchange their money, hired employees and forced them to in order to get hired to invest in digital currencies, got the money of people and dissapeared. That's why I wrote about regulation.
Thanks.

There is NO LAW requiring you to pay any taxes on your bitcoin.

If the IRS said you had to pay taxes on your WoW gold, would some of you dunces pay them for that, too?

But I assume that Bitcoin will be taxed accordingly based on each country's tax percentage.
