I think he did a really good job.

 The only thing is when the Indian guy started saying that governments would want a slice of the pie,  is saying they would have to earn their slice instead of taking it from the population. People could voluntarily donate to certain sections if they want or those services could be privatized.

But now that's just nitpicking. Amir did a lot better then the last interview. This one was pretty great, also any press is good press!


I don't care what they label us getting people to understand it is what's important. Labels might slow growth but I believe the people can wake up evaluate it themselves and draw their own conclusions.

to be fair,  as much as I believe bitcoins will grow,   I wouldn't push this on my dad who's not that technical,  plus he's literally 1 year away from retirement.

He's a Silver and Gold Bug (which is basically and old school version of Bitcoin)... in cases like that it's better not to push new technology / currency / way of thinking on people that really are looking forward to watch Judge Judy and play backgammon.

And the real reason?  My dad would have a heart attack if he saw the fluctuation today with the flash crash if that was his retirement money.   He would see 20 years of savings disappear in 10 minutes, only to gain 15 years back,  lose 7 years,  gain 9 ...  that's too much of a roller coaster for someone at that age.

Some people aren't built for something like this, others live for it.




Have the people you love put like $100 in and encourage them to tell more people too? $100 isn't too much right a speeding ticket is that much!

Let him know to donate like 10% to things that help him out, spreading bitcoin is the fastest way to make you're more valuable.

I'm trying to donate to tor and get a vpn and donate to this forum but it's harder than it seems, if someone could make a streamlined software that would like act like bitpay but have anonymity i would donate to that with some of my extra funds and I'm sure others would too. And you get the satisfation of helping out everyone and you're bitcoins would be worth more by having their use grow to more people.

Please bitcoin members help me setting up  bitcoin on my windows pc.

Thank you.

OP didn't mention mining,

to get a client go to bitcoin.org/clients.html

The standard client is Bitcoin-qt but the initial load up can take days, this is being worked on. If your computer crashes and you don't have a backup somewhere else your money is gone.

Electrum is pretty good. You don't store the blockchain which means it has a faster start up but it doesn't help the overall bitcoin network.
Electrum is a deterministic wallet and that means if you write down your "seed" and password you can recover your money if your computer dies/crashes.

blockchain.info is a website that will manage a wallet for you, but there is a chance they could run away with your money ... same as any other website/ third party wallet.  If your computer dies you can just go to the website from another computer.

 There are some others too
