We need to make a difference between cryptocurrencies and investments. A few people are commodities traders, but most investors don't see currencies as investments. Neither do I. BTC would only get better if people using it as an investment were giving it up.
Put money in expecting to put more money out than you put in = investment. So yeah, everything can be a investment, it doesn't need to be Forex or whatnot. My point is that many more people invests in stocks rather than currencies.

We're still waiting for the interesting news: what are they going to do with those funds?

Bitcoin is tax free!
Bitcoin is protected by militia groups all over the world. Small businesses don't have to pay taxes to militia groups if using Bitcoin.
Good to know! Thanks for info, man. By the way, could you please give the toll-free phone number of that militia group, so that I can request their assistance in case some government pigs want to tax my BTC?

Thanks for info. I certainly disapprove, but I sure understand.

Makes me laugh to see people talking of stabilization after barely a week without a major fluctuation... Let's wait till the end of the quarter.

There's an interesting idea there:
You should be able to limit download speed, so that it takes enough time to check the transaction is confirmed in the blockchain. If the transaction isn't confirmed, the download would just stop.
Waste bandwidth for no reason . Instead they pay and then 1 confirmation they can download There's no waste of bandwidth. Not at all, the size of the data doesn't change. You may say it's a waste of time, but it's not because the customer doesn't have to wait for the first confirmation, the download has already started.

Besides BTC's acceptance, the people's awareness is also growing. Talking around me, more and more people have heard of BTC. With limited knowledge, which I can correct, some people are already able to criticize it!

I'm spreading the word too, but I've never spread my BTC yet. No plan to do so, can't afford that, but I remember getting my first satoshis via a faucet, and there were plenty of faucets a while ago. It seems they're all gone.

If we needed proof that BTC is still in its infancy, this is it. I thought it would be the other way around, that it would be more difficult to buy with BTC than to sell. 15% off by paying in BTC, hey, that's a deal.

I guess the US is the only country which guarantees free speech, because it's in their constitution. France? Sadly, this country has been on a downward slope for many years. Putting restrictions on free speech looks a minor event, considering how bad France has become.

The best part is that unlike BTC, the Swiss franc is expected to remain its value. It won't go down next month.
I would doubt that many people expect it to remain that high. Both a 30% or a 14% jump in a few months (let alone one day) is generally too much for most central banks so their central bank will likely intervene to weaken it in the near future We shall see this 14% rise as a correction after years of forced stabilization. So there might be a quick 2% adjustment but the fate of the currency looks bright.

There are many topics on this subject already. Please, see that there are several countries without any kind of income tax already, just as there are countries without their own currency. Never underestimate the nation-state, it's a super smart and fast evolving beast.

That only makes it more difficult for the average Joe to get BTC but smarter Russians know how to get around those difficulties.

To sum it up, about 4,000 new BTC are created each day, if that goes down to 2,000 a day, it seems logical that the price is going to rise.

"A prototype cryptocurrency point-of-sales (POS) terminal called Bitcoin Box can process transactions without the need for an Internet connection. Instead it relies on Near Field Communications (NFC) and Bluetooth to enable payments."
I think this is a great news, and in the next 5-6 years the bitcoin will be more easily to use.
Hey, NFC and Bluetooth enable some kind of an Internet connection, only less safe, less reliable, and much slower. Then, I don't know where guy who wrote this article is living, and everywhere I've been, it was easier to find an Internet connection than NFC or Bluetooth.
