To leave a comment? A comment about what? If you expect a comment about your website, it would have been smart to give a link to it.

Yeah I'd trust a btc ATM, you've got nothing to worry about unless.....




Good pic. I guess I would not use a BTC ATM straight away after seeing it. I'll wait a while till I see some other people using it successfully.

Not quite true.

The IMF is using purchasing power parity to calculate China's GDP, attributing over 20% growth over the last two years alone, in a depressed global market at that!
In terms of nominal GDP, the United States is still $7.6 trillion ahead of the Chinese (as of 2013).
China will eventually take over the U.S.(which will drop to third behind India) as the world's largest economy - that's a given.
But in my opinion, that's at least six to ten years away - provided China's banking system does not collapse by then (the stories I hear about the reporting practices of provincial GLCs and financial institutions there are sometimes comical).

That's what I wrote 6 posts above yours. And looking at the other posts, it seems nobody reads what the others have written already. This is getting bad...

If a country bans Uber, that would be a great news for freedom. I just can't understand how some people can enjoy this service. It's like having the CIA watching all your moves. Taxis are anonymous and you can pay cash, that's what I like.

Uber has many benefits. One being simplified commuting.
Type in address and they arrive; can even choose a luxury car.

Cab?...need to call, creepy drivers, confusion, expensive, rude, dirty, etc.

Simplified?
You need a smartphone, you need to download an app, you need to register, you need a credit card, then you need to type...

It's easier to call a taxi to me. I don't know if it's more expensive, but I know I always prefer to hire the service of a professional, and nobody records my commuting.

This isn't exactly right. The data comes from here:

China leads when you compare "Gross domestic product based on purchasing-power-parity (PPP) valuation of country GDP". If you compare gross domestic product in a standard way, the European Union is leading, with the US right behind, and China a distant third.

I have a question: why should I consolidate my BTC?
I don't.

What's the fee for using that coinapult service?
2749  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Crypto Network - A social network for the crypto world. on: December 05, 2014, 12:19:17 AM
I'm not sure this is smart. Don't we want BTC to be global? Creating a small community isn't the right way to achieve this. I say it's better to have a few bitcoiners here and there, everywhere.
2750  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Where to invest my bitcoin on: December 05, 2014, 12:14:02 AM
Most people see BTC as in investment by itself, so they don't look any further, and I say that's the best option. From what I've seen, the companies (sometimes the company is only a "front") which propose BTC investments are far less secure than your wallet at your home.
2751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mastercard Presidents perspective on Bitcoin on: December 05, 2014, 12:06:48 AM
The guy fails to come up with a single new idea. Everything he says has already been told years ago, and that hasn't stopped BTC from growing.
2752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin for Micronations on: December 03, 2014, 10:57:37 PM
I've said it several times already. BTC shall remain international, and not be related to any nation.
2753  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vacation tours in major tourist cities on: December 03, 2014, 10:54:25 PM
I would sure appreciate to book an hotel room with BTC,

I usually book my hotels through Expedia. They accept bitcoins.

Thanks for the info. Actually, I knew it but I had forgotten it.
2754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "You can't leave the governemt out of monetary policy" on: December 03, 2014, 10:52:49 PM
Yes, you can.
This is what happens when a country doesn't have its own currency.

217,517.63438199 BTC transfer but from whom and to where??

Can anyone explain me what is this?

No, that's not your business. All BTC transactions are private.
2756  Economy / Economics / Re: Techcrunch: Banks As Commodity Utilities In A New Payment World on: December 02, 2014, 11:08:10 PM
To the average person going out for a drink or a burger, cash and credit cards will still rule for a long time. Maybe the young will switch to new payment methods in the few places which accept them, but the older folks will stick to what they've used for decades.
2757  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vacation tours in major tourist cities on: December 02, 2014, 11:02:15 PM
I would sure appreciate to book an hotel room with BTC, but I'm not convinced BTC is the best solution for small expenses.
Still, it could be convenient when going to small countries like Hungary, if you could avoid changing any cash.

Does this work? Has someone actually tried it successfully?
2759  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Forbid In All Country In The World on: December 01, 2014, 08:15:41 PM
i'm wondering how if all the countries in this world...

That can't happen. There's not a single example of all countries in this world having the same opinion on any matter.
In Northeast Africa, there's nothing wrong with marrying a 12-year old girl, but people will throw stones at you if you're a muslim marrying a christian.
2760  Economy / Economics / Re: What would you do if the US Dollar crashed ? on: December 01, 2014, 08:00:01 PM
Since BTC/USD is a pair...

No. Far from it. Bitcoin's value is hardly related to the U.S. dollar's health. There was no link between BTC's huge rise and then its fall earlier this year and the dollar.

Regarding your question, I haven't had a dollar in my hand for about 5 months, so I wouldn't do anything if it crashes, but I'm not expecting that. With millions of successful workers and the US army behind it, the dollar remains much stronger than BTC for the foreseeable future.
