i'll lock arms with you on this one

i am thinking of accepting it for my business, whats the best way to start?

what is your primary purpose of using bitcoin?

do you own a business or are you a simple trader/barter of BTC?

if i was to convert btc into usd and wish to send my usd to singapore or belize (offshore banks) which service would you use?

it took me a good half-hour to figure out about the newbie restrictions

i actually like this requirement, definately a great way to protect the forum

so given all the statements above, would it be better to join in on services like the "pryamining" and leverage their already exisiting hardware and piggback off their resources in hopes of getting a nice cut from their group mining

The more I have been researching on BTC the more I feel that it might just be the next revolutionary currency.

Seems to me most banks are failing and somehow bank fees just keep going up.  Soon people will start to seek a cheaper alternative.

I still dont know where my tax dollars get spent seems like its always going to the wrong hands.

i like how BTC is all about trust and reputation.....  I mean you build a proper relationship with the person you doing business with and at least you have that to fall back on. 

a big bank with all the fancy insurance and funds protection still cant protect you these days

What are your thoughts on where BTC will be in the next few years?
how fast will it develop?
what are you doing to prepare?
