$2,500 for a Walther PPK/S .380 calibre pistol and a silencer! The guy didn't know how to shop, you can get a decent gun for way less.

I bought a car in Germany last week. Germans usually don't pay the registration tax on the spot, they give their bank account details, and the money is taken off their account sometimes later. With me not having a bank account in Germany, I had to use the service of an agent, and I paid him cash, but I ended up paying more than a German with a bank account would have paid... I hope that someday, companies will give you a discount if you pay with BTC, but I don't see that coming soon for anything I usually buy.
Interesting, I bought a car in Germany last fall. I had no cash and to transfer that much over would have taken days. I could take money from my US bank account at the ATM at a heavy conversion and ATM fee which had a limit of 4-500 euro per day so it would have taken me 10 days of doing that to get the cash. Instead I went on localbitcoins and got 5000 euros for my 12 bitcoins (price was higher at the time) and paid the private seller in cash. It is probably different for me since I go through the military for registration. That was a hassle of its own. What part of Germany are you in? I was in Koln, but I left on the 11th, and I have already been to 3 other countries since then. Travel is my life! It's quite true that ATMs aren't good tools to withdraw large sums, but if you're with an international bank, you can make larger withdrawals at the counter. Then I suppose it's not that easy to sell 12 BTC for cash in a single transaction. It will be much easier when there will be car sellers accepting BTC... I also fill up my gas card with dollars which gives me US prices at the pump. What? Do you have an American gas card which works in Europe? |

Smart move. Sounds good for Xapo.

I see those 5 services at best as scam, as BS at worst.
A better way is to travel to Geneva or Zurich, sell your BTC there via localbitoins and buy gold with the cash.
Then it's easy to store your gold there in a vault.

Excellent use of a blockchain. It will show this technology is robust. I suppose all landowners will need to download that blockchain, and that the big difference with BTC will be that every transaction will need government's certification.
Really? I can't see that being the case at all. All they'll be doing is registering through the government who'll go to Factom and they'll place the hashes on the blockchain. I'm sure plenty of landowners won't have the slightest clue what it really consists of. What they will know is that their claims can no longer be corrupted. Well, it's quite true they won't need to download that blockchain, but I would because it would be smart, and make every landowner an active citizen, a certified bookkeeper, of land registry in Honduras. Now I wonder if everything will be public, just like with BTC because it would mean the poor will be able to see all the properties the rich have. |

Note that when the police searches a computer for data, they do not switch it on. They remove the hard disk, and plug that hard disk to their own computer. So whatever encryption method you use shall manage that.

I advise not to buy any BTC in the country where you happen to be staying, to avoid taxation.

I don't remember anyone called Bill complaining when the movie Kill Bill was released. This shouldn't be different.

Note that you may remove "giga". There's the same difference between hash and hertz.

Amazing question!
You'll have incredible luck if someone here actually knows her name.
She looks Malaysian to me.

I started using Netscape in 1996, which gradually evolved into Mozilla Firefox. I'll never use Chrome because it's made by Google, and I don't like to be tracked.

Are they many non-BTC users willing to receive any payment in BTC?
The opposite service would probably get more customers.

It will be like going back to the past about 400 years. When there was no fractional reserve banking, interests were high and very few people were qualified to borrow money. It will be much better.

What's the point of paying with BTC if you can't buy anonymously?

Actually 8% tax isn't much, when most European countries have 20%+ VAT.

Yes, it exists.
There are several companies with blockchain-like systems so that their employees can access and update some important data all over the world.

To end boom and bust, I would suggest the exact opposite. To make all electronic money (I'm not talking about cryptocurrencies) illegal, just like money creation by the banks by ending the fractional reserve system. Imagine that the only money banks would be allow to lend would be the same quantity of cash they actually have in their vaults. That would cause a huge slowdown of the economy, but that would clean the financial system.
