i still dont get it why paypall, WU, credit card et al refuse to implement bitcoin Huh all they need to buy is just few coin (maybe less than 100btc, because they will just use it internally) and use it as vehicle to move the fund securely.  

That's 'coz you don't understand how things work & the nature of security problems associated with money transfer.  

enlightend me pls...


I'll do better:  I'll teach you to think!  Shall we try?  OK:

Ask yourself:  What security problems will be solved by using Bitcoin internally.  Take your time.

Sirs!
A well-balanced portfolio is the hallmark of today's informed investment enthusiast.
In the unlikely eventuality of Bitcoin failing to meet your totally reasonable (and, frankly, conservative) expectations, consider this goto hedge of the Bitcoiner in the know:

google or paypal

Why would anyone give money to Google? Their browser and OS suck, their search engine has turned to shit in recent years, and their Android program store is unnecessary. If you need Android programs, just find and download APK files to transfer to your Android device for installation.

Getting a Google account is silly. They want too much information. Anonymity is a basic human right.

That their browser sucks, is your opninion, alot of people find chrome the best. Find APK files, surwe, but if you don't know what you're doing, you're device will become infected. I do agree on the anonymity part, but do you actually think they have nothing on you, because you don't use their products? Very naive Wink

The comment about Google search "going to shit"--he doesn't have a Google account, probably browses through Firefox/Tor/no history.  I'm sure his search results do suck--paranoia costs Undecided

It is really hard to discuss with you, since you are even too stupid to understand, what people are telling you or you are misunderstanding it on purpose.
So, one more time: The credit card company charges the merchant extra, this extra costs eventually winds ab with the costumer. Do you really think, they just swallow it, because they are so altruistic? Secondly credit cards works exactly the same in Austria than in the USA(as far as I know)

We are discussing the difference between using cash & debit cards (your scenario) vs. using CC (mine).  Other than a few gas stations in podunk towns, I do not get cash discounts.
I do get CC perks.
Ergo, CC is less expensive for me to use than cash.  If you feel like subsidising my CC use by transacting with cash, you go right ahead.  Unless you recieve cash discounts, that's exactly what you are doing Smiley
and again: It is not the same in Austria, which is my whole point all along.
Do you want to go another round in this circle?

No, you forgot already.  It's OK, I'll remind you:

...Credit Cards are not that widely used here in Austria.

Not every country adopts to modernity as quickly as USA.
Nothing wrong with that, you'll catch up.  There are other developing countries where CC use is even less prevalent.

Quote
btw. I am pretty sure, there are also shops in USA, which generally don't accept credit cards and there for are generally cheaper. Maybe someone from the USA can confirm that.

Yes, as I said, there are gas stations in backwards backwaters in US that don't accept CC.  Progress takes time.

Keep tryin' bro Cheesy

Yup, instead of a few bucks, your whole identity, social security #, home address, phone numbers, email etc being auctioned off like a cheap whore to the highest bidder to do even bigger damage.

Don't need to keep tryin' bro, already succeeded.   Grin

Lol, everyone knows where I live, my landline's listed.
Not a big deal for me if that info's leaked, as long as my money's safe.  Which it is.  Guaranteed. Cool

We hit the bottom & have slightly rebounded since.

Thank you for not understanding what bears do Smiley

Your last statement is misleading. Even when you get your money back(I don't think, that is always the case), there is still a lot of inconvenience involved, in contrary if your country just forbids old buggy technology.

Lol, when hax0ring happens:
-Worst case CC scenario:  I don't want to bother with "inconvenience" & lose all my money.  
-BEST case Bitcoin scenario:  Money gone, OKTHXBI! Cheesy

^My facts are right:
Quote
In the US patent record, Luther George Simjian has been credited with developing a "prior art device".[5] Specifically his 132nd patent (US3079603) was first filed on 30 June 1960 (and granted 26 February 1963). The roll-out of this machine, called Bankograph, was delayed by a couple of years, due in part to Simjian's Reflectone Electronics Inc. being acquired by Universal Match Corporation.

Forget about having zero protection with BTC rather than with a Credit Card...
but some how you're trying to tell me point and scan is better or somehow faster than just swiping??

Uhm, you better have some kick ass protection on your credit card when you swipe at Target or Home Depot, or that personal info is being sold off like a muthF#ka:

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-09-02/home-depots-credit-card-breach-looks-just-like-the-target-hack

None of this breach stuff on Bitcoin.

Lol, when CC get hax0rd, none of my money is lost.  When Bitcoin gets [allegedly] haxord... well, MtGox Cheesy

Yes, ATM, a US Invention.  Enjoy using our hand-me-down technology Smiley
You still fail to explain why cc are better than atm cards.
I'd love to here that.

ATM cards are nothing but CC without the perks.  They also don't offer you a free month's worth of credit.
In America, we use both Cool
By perks you mean an extra intermediary, who also charges extra?...

No, I mean frequent flier miles.  My credit card charges me exactly as much as my debit (ATM) card--zero.  If yours charges you, you must be a deadbeat with lousy credit rating Undecided

Re. your link:  One of the advantages of credit/debit cards over Bitcoin is not having to worry about the technology getting hax0rd.  The bank/CC company carries all the risks Smiley
Re. your edit: Credit card fraud constitutes FIVE CENTS FOR EVERY $100 of transactions.  And the trend's downward Smiley
