2921  Economy / Speculation / Re: Speculation: Greece abandons the euro and adopts bitcoin on: July 03, 2015, 08:58:34 AM
It is a good idea, and there is lots of talking about it but I think now it might be a bit late for mass adoption in Greece, it is quite funny that there is only one ATM in the whole of Greece so I read Smiley
2922  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why Do You Play Poker By Yourself? on: July 03, 2015, 07:54:39 AM
It is a shame, I like a bit of online poker, PM Poker recently started a giveaway and had some good ideas but I was the only one in there for a good few hours so I was literally playing by myself.

2925  Other / Politics & Society / Re: BBC to cut more than 1,000 jobs on: July 02, 2015, 05:17:38 PM
 It's always sad to see people losing their jobs, I think they have been pushing their luck especially when people are subscribing to the likes of Sky and Virgin and the other cable providers.

The BBC simply cannot compete and their quality of programming is just not up to par, the news isn't worh a dime either.

Good luck with this.  Might still be time to take advantage of the vaping trend, although in the UK I feel it is dying down, there are lots of concern about the long term effects and so on.  The world is a big place and it is popular right now good luck.

ups and downs, never a large amount of money though so not that much of a bad time.  It's the altcoins which are the dangerous ones!
2928  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-07-02] CD: Coinfloor Launches Broker-Based UK Bitcoin Marketplace on: July 02, 2015, 03:10:46 PM
Wrong. Brokers are middlemen. The whole idea of Bitcoin is to get rid of these sharks.

I'll never understand why people use exchanges at all when localbitcoins (for example) will give you a more secure & better rate than all of them at a fraction of the cost & with no money grabbing middlemen involved. I've lost count of how many dodgy exchanges have been either hacked, stolen customers BTC or simply disappeared - they are a leftover disease of the corrupt banking industry & go against everything that Bitcoin is/was/supposed to be trying to put right.

Trust in Bitcoin only. Nothing else.

I understand what you are saying, but for the meantime until some point in the future when Bitcoin can truly stand on it's own two feet, we need the industry at least in the initial stages when purchasing Bitcoin as these purchases will be in Fiat.  Until Bitcoin becomes the currency for everyone we will unfortunately need the banks.

As people become introduced to Bitcoin their experience should be one that inspires them to delve deeper into Bitcoin, if their first experience with minimal knowledge is searching online and being fooled by someone and they get scammed that's them done, "I tried Bitcoin but got scammed" and so on.

I agree with you Bitcoin is the way, but it will take time, probably a long time before we can fully wave goodbye to the bankers.

Think you will need to shorten that link the PM can only contain a certain amount of letters, the link would not fit in, there are loads of URL shortening sites out there, one is tinyurl you cold use that might help

Hey was just going to join but on your site it tells me that i cannot deposit bitcoin?

"you seem to be located int he United States or another jurisdiction where we cannot offer our services...."  I am in the UK, can I not use the site? this is unusual.

2931  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-07-02] CD: Coinfloor Launches Broker-Based UK Bitcoin Marketplace on: July 02, 2015, 12:23:08 PM
I saw this earlier today, this is good news give easier access to people that want to buy bitcoin by a trusted source, it can only be a good thing right?
2932  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Right now the Bitcoin trade is dependent on the banking system, how to fix that? on: July 02, 2015, 07:54:08 AM
One day when you can pay your utility bills, council tax, fuel etc with BTC it will take off, until then it will be only the few.
2933  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pita Bread Munchers Could Steal Bitcoins from Public Laptops on: July 02, 2015, 07:49:44 AM
I am sure there are a lot of people working on sneaky ways to steal our bitcoin, at least in the bitcoin world it will be less violent when some tries to mug you although there was that recent mugging at gunpoint http://www.cnbc.com/id/102737187

We just have to 'tool' up in the virtual sense
2934  Other / Meta / Re: Is the proper abbreviation for the forum 'BTT' or 'BCT'? on: July 02, 2015, 07:41:58 AM
I prefer and have used BCT as it is the most obvious abbreviation or just type out the entire forum name to make sure there is no confusion.
2935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 9 million USD per month is looking for ways to jump into Bitcoin on: July 02, 2015, 06:43:42 AM
If that amount came in each monh the price would move upward.  As with all things lets see what happens IF it happens
2936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2015 The Year of The Litecoin on: July 01, 2015, 10:10:08 PM
I remember when Litecoin was up at $15 last year, I think it will get back up there so will hold for a little while longer
2937  Economy / Services / Re: Tappabit Fixed Rate Signature Campaign 40 Places Available on: July 01, 2015, 08:03:29 PM
Can I join but carry the avatar only as I am currently happy with my signature campaign but I am on the lookout to fill my avatar space and I would be happy to promote your site, let me know your thoughts on this.

Cheers

If there's any left after the signature slots are filled I might open it up to others who are not on the campaign. I'll check with Tappabit.

Will update the sign-ups shortly.
Great, makes sense.  if you could let me  / us know when you get to the end it would be appreciated.

2939  Economy / Services / Re: SPOTS AVAILABLE [BIT-X.com] Earn Bitcoins by Posting | Signature Campaign on: July 01, 2015, 07:37:32 PM
Spots are once again closed to new members. If you think you're an exceptional poster, please PM me!

A little announcement in advance: I will be away with limited internet access from July 4 to ~July 18 (and then again maybe from ~July 20 to early August). The bot will have enough funds and Bitcoin_Boy will be able to help if any problems arise.

Just missed out on joining this campaign again lol I'll see if there is room next time around, it would be great to have an avatar campaign also or allow the enrolee to carry another avatar which does not conflict with your site, just a thought.

Edit - I see there are actually spots open!  I thought I saw a comment saying that there were no spots open.  sorry guys
