Banks and credit card companies do not ever, ever do anything for free.
All those buildings, vaults and security, IT specialists , customer services agents, phone bills, hardware, electricity, insurance, to the plastic bits of card, TV adverts, and of course the cost of staff wages and then there is also the fraud and losses (and the private jets, and bribes, and "donations" and lobbying costs, legal fees and bonuses oh yeah do not forget the bonuses) they do not all pay for themselves y'know.
What they may give with one hand, they will take with the other.
Also, by hook or by crook, a lot of the legacy banking industry is old and obsolete, and along with many other industries is about to be
disrupted by technology in a major way, many things currently undertaken by humans will in the near to mid term future be undertaken by protocols/robots, and the banking industry is no different, in fact it is prime, and it looks to me that Bitcoin and blockchain technology is going to play a part.
(Que the internet of things,automation,drones,AI,big data,hyper-hyperconnectivity,DAC's, DAT's)

oh my god he is still at it... that guy is the most incredible example of a human walking... Man.... I kind of feel sorry for him. Kind of... Well, at least we know when this guy comes around on bitcoin, the technology has peaked. He's literally the last guy. Yeah he hurts my eyes and ears and mind everytime I see or hear him, though there is some comedy and a touch of tragedy to the guy. "What's going on slavetards..." In his case... not an awful lot. |

Based in London, doesn't accept £GBP? Yeah I noticed that.... probably something to do with the retarded UK banks being not very bitcoin friendly... despite the guberment making coo'ing noises at Bitcoin...(it is all good and well Osbourne harping on about London becoming a hub for cryptocurrency, but maybe he should tell the bloody banks) I have heard of a few people that have gone face to face with their bank manager and managed to get an account to use for BTC related business.. however as a whole , at the moment, they are not very friendly...... YET. Though I really do not think it will take too much longer before a notable precedent is set. In the meantime I recommend people in the UK contacting their local MP's and letting them know of the troubles they have had opening an account for BTC/Cryptocurrency releated business or even to purchase BTC, also contacting the financial ombudsman and doing like wise, as there are no laws against BTC in the UK, so there should legally speaking be nothing in the way of getting access to banking facilities in the UK for cryptocurrency related businesses. |

The internet of things and crypto currency are going to have a big relationship methinks |

Look for the big red font! ...[size=30] Not bitching about you being off-topic, that's fine with me, as long as you understand that you are off-topic.;/color][/size] This is about BTC price, not eventual success or failure of Bitcoin... WTF?  A poster can still be a buyer and holder and still meaningfully participate in this speculation thread. You, NotLambChops, are trying to define which points of view are more relevant to this thread as if the thread's design and purpose is ONLY trading.. to attempt to profit on the ups and the downs. Your viewpoint in this regard, if it is real, is quite wrong. ... Topic of this thread: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussionBitcoin Price Movement Tracking You could understand why I mistakenly assumed that this thread was about tracking Bitcoin price, right? I could understand your mistaken assumption , but only if you do not actually read the thread, maybe it is that reading/writing ratio again?  Really though you must have noticed the diversity of the topics and views and posters in the thread... I cannot for the life of me work out how you could have missed it, if you are actually reading. yeah so why the repeated shit about "this is a bitcoin price movement tracking thread" again... and to take a page from your communication style "TO BE CLEAR IT REALLY ISN'T AND HAS TURNED INTO A GENERAL DISCUSSION AND HANG OUT AND PRICE AND WALL OBSERVER THREAD" as it quite obvious if you use your eyeballs and mind together and read what people post. That means that if I or anyone else that is a long term holder or speculator or a short term trader or who the fuck ever can post here and share their opinion and views.. and hopefully without an angry little pitbull snapping at their heels. To be clear. Jesus. |

I'm not going to wear an iwatch or any other computer watch. I think apple is taking a misstep here imho.
Lots of people will not wear smart watches, or ever use google glasses for example, or smart contact lenses which are already in development, but then I still know plenty of people that do not use the internet either and it is quarter of a century old technology. Plenty of people will use wearables imo, and some will likely be wrist worn, give it a few generations and young people will not have ever know the world any different (I know plenty of younger people that never knew the world pre mobile phones for example) and to them it will be a natural choice I think to use wearables, and "smart watches" will be common place... indeed give it a few more generations and it may be hard to find a standard watch at all... there are very few basic cell phones around today, yes they are still around, but even the basic ones get smarter and smaller year by year, and do more than just make calls. (ps I wear a solid mechanical italian watch, I love it) |

LOL, superimposed on the video stream: APPLE WATCH: TELL YOU THE ACTUAL TIME! A WATCH THAT YOU WEAR ON YOUR WRIST!!Unfortunately, it requires an iPhone in your pocket also. So... What is the point of the watch? Didn't people stop wearing watches because they got phones? To be fair I think "wearable" technology is going to become more of a thing, and wrists are a good a place as any to start... Okay, I won't disagree with that. I just need a reason that people are going to gravitate toward this thing to believe this will be it, and not just another google glass, or tiny phone strapped to my wrist that requires me to carry another phone. I'll admit I didn't watch the stream, but so far I haven't seen a compelling reason to consider the Apple watch. People are gadget junkies.... Apple watch will no doubt make some sales, but both they and googleglass I think we will see massive competition and with it will come further lowering of prices and advancements/specialisations, which will quickly render this Apple watch/google glass as obsolete....pretty soon there will be stretchable and flexible oled type wrist bands among other things..further down the line 3d holographic projection of displays and data, and then give it a little bit of time and they will be going inside the body instead... oh joys... but wrist is quite a logical place to start and I think smart watch devices will become more common place.. and Apples part in that market may continue for quite some time, but not without competition and better or cheaper alternatives. oh and wow go stamp. |
