The Video is mentioned to be by someone named "Duncan Elms". It's in English its title is "Bitcoin Explained", in 1280x720 or 720p quality. Watch it! Say what you think! 3 Minutes long. Warning: The video is very uninformed, otherwise nice graphics and good description of that that Bitcoin uses digital signatures, they got that right at least. How can they do this wrong when BTC was worth 70 USD, to believe that each block is worth 50 Bitcoins. They didn't do their research. On second thought don't watch it. I've watched it. I think it's bad journalism, also showing my fear that they don't do their research, before publishing stuff. techgear.gr -1

Wow, this is scary because its so plausible. It would be a shame. I really do hate PayPal. I have since 2002.
You mean PayPay. How ironic calling them "globalists". We are also globalists because we want Bitcoin to be used all over the globe...or don't we? BTC(Bitcoin) is a global currency.

http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.phpTo: Contact Valve Subject: Payment options: Bitcoin Message: Do you accept the payment option Bitcoin? Email Sent
Your message was sent successfully. Thank you for sending mail to Valve. Damn, I forgot to mention I was planning to buy a certain game. Regardsless I've contacted the game company behind it asking if they take payment directly for Bitcoin, so never mind. Anybody else did what I did, or am I the sole Bitcoin user who dared to ask Valve this?

What you talkin' about? It's all abuzz(ok, maybe I exaggerate in that regard, it was in Veckans Nyheter) in schools this week with Veckans Nyheter. Sida A, fråga 6. Side A page 6 for all social science students. Gymnasium and folkhögskolor, possibly more that I don't know about. For Swedish BTC press you can also check http://www.bitcoin.se/press/

What is the problem of buying Steam games for BTC without Valve officially accepting BTC? 1. Alice buys a steam game for EUR/USD. 2. Valve/Steam happily accepts the EUR/USD payment. 3. Bob buys it from Alice with Bitcoin. 4. Bob thinks that now Valve/Steam will have a good reason to accept Bitcoin.
Uhm, really? How are you thinking people?

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days. Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic. This is one of the most important threads in all of bitcointalk. If Steam starts supporting Bitcoin payments that would be it. Purchasing games for Bitcoin? Give me the name of 1 serious company that sells AAA titles or even indie game titles that accept Bitcoin!!

Tulips anyone? The only way that this isn't going to blow up is if .gov is really behind it.
Misinformed about Bitcoin. Though very informed about flowers

Eventually, such peer-to-peer programs became more numerous, to include Kazaa Lite, eDonkey, eMule, BitTorrent, etc. ...stopped reading here. Have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Bittorrent by Bram Cohen having a direct relation with the Kazaa creator?, gimme a break! Not related at all! This person definitely doesn't understand Bitcoin. Anybody who starts talking about tulips have a tulip for a brain also!

This is the reply I got from Walmart: Thank you for contacting Walmart.com regarding the link you provide us with and about the bitcoin gift cards we sell. We are glad to look into this matter for you. In order to assist you, please be more specific with your question. We have no idea about Bitcoin gift cards and we are not able to open up any link due to system limitations.

Det verkar finnas konstiga pengar ute på internet. Pengarna går bara att använda på nätet. Hittills har cirka 11 miljoner mynt skapats. De präglas i utbyte mot att man utför uppdrag på internet. Vad kallas de här pengarna? 1. Whitecoin X. Bitcoin 2. Blackcoin A more or less good translation There seems to be a strange kind of money on the internet. The money can only be used online. So far, about 11 million coins have been created. They are created in exchange for performing tasks on the internet. What do you call this money? 1. Whitecoin X. Bitcoin 2. Blackcoin This news can't be found on the internet because karinforlag.se publishes this in all schools which teach social sciences which may apply to primary, secondary or/maybe tertiary studies. It was published in my school, and I know that it is published in secondary education schools where the subject is social science. It looks like this http://www.karinforlag.se/publicItems/nrExempel/2012_23.pdfbut only side A and B are given to secondary education high schools in Sweden when you study social sciences like Samhällskunskap A or Samhällskunskap B, I think. It is given each week and it is to test how well pupils in Sweden know about the rest of the world. Do they watch TV or listen to radio to keep on with the news? So depending on that they may get higher or worse scores for the test. Pupils sitting next to each other get a different page so, one gets side A and one gets side B so they don't write what the others are writing but think for themselves.

http://www.tanea.gr/news/economy/article/5010247/to-hlektroniko-nomisma-poy-einai-ftiagmeno-gia-foyskes/Bitcoin: Το ηλεκτρονικό νόμισμα που είναι φτιαγμένο για... φούσκες Before going in on the topic let's mention that "Τα Νέα" is a well known newspaper in Greece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta_NeaThe article discredits Bitcoin and shows Μαργιόλης Κωνσταντίνος only listing some practical benefits but has no clue whatsoever what Bitcoin is about, thinking that to send Bitcoins you do it through e-mail. ...νόμισμα που κυκλοφορεί μόνο στο Διαδίκτυο και μέσω email... ...currency that is distributed only on the internet and through e-mail... oh well, one could send a signed transaction through e-mail for somebody to forward it to the Bitcoin network but that's not one of the common uses of Bitcoin Ο ξαφνικός έρωτας για το νόμισμα που κυκλοφορεί μόνο στο Διαδίκτυο και μέσω email οφείλεται στην απόφαση των ρυθμιστικών Αρχών των ΗΠΑ να νομιμοποιήσουν το bitcoin. "The sudden love for the currency that is distributed only on the internet and through email is due to the decision by the 'government'[sry, I couldn't think of a proper word] in the U.S.A to legalize Bitcoin" Definitely doesn't know what he is talking about. Ι'm used, listening to Greek saying "Greece is way behind other developed countries". I don't know about that, but I sure know that with this article this ain't a good start.

Was there no alternative? Did the Ripple network have to use a cryptocurrency of its own? Why not simply use Bitcoin for paying of fees? Integrating Bitcoin into Ripple, eh? Paying fees with Bitcoin, that is.
Also couldn't a Ripple System be made that doesn't use a blockchain?

http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/varnar-efter-rusning-for-virtuella-valutan/Pia Blank Thörnroos, rättslig expert på Skatteverket, varnar samtidigt alla som tror att de kan använda Bitcoin för att konsumera eller göra affärer utan att betala skatt.
– Bor man i Sverige och är skattskyldig här får man helt enkelt räkna om inkomsterna i Bitcoin till svenska kronor och ören. Som vi ser på det blir det ingen skillnad, även om man kan tro det. Pia Blank Thörnroos, 'legal' expert from the Swedish Tax Agency, warns at the same time all people who think that they can use Bitcoin to consume or do business without paying any tax. - "If people live in Sweden and have an obligation to pay tax, they simply have to count their income in Bitcoin in the amount of Swedish krona. As we look upon this matter there is no difference, even if people may believe so." if u think the translation was bad you can check any missed parts with G translate. I translated everything manually
