To me this is all weird. I ONLY use bitcoin to pay. Like every day. I never have had a problem like the one the OP mentioned. Which was a wallet problem, not a bitcoin problem. I also continuously find new places that take bitcoin.

That's a good answer. But I think the OP has also revealed a gender bias. It could have been called a purse just as easily. What does this tell us about Satoshi?


I have said too much.   

Since your goals are keeping up with economic changes I vote for Chinese. China is the most important country on Earth already and their power is still at the early stage of development.  They are the big fish in a big pond. However you might also consider learning an obscure language and trying to be a big fish yourself. For example, I would guess that someone who knows Swahili is in a good position to get on a business team trying to enter African markets.
Just a thought.

Um. Don't know what you mean. But you can sell a car for used underwear if both parties agree.


Permission from government? WTF? We are not here to ask permission, we are telling the governments of the world that this is how it's going to be.

Way to late man. People have been buying and selling cars for bitcoin for years.

Has come true. Years ago. Man nobody reads anymore this is 2011 stuff. Again, here are a million cars for sale in BTC just at this one site.

You can't wait 10 min.?

I predict that CNBC will crash to zero. The race is on! 

It is obviously not a pyramid. Transactions are between the two parties and nobody else. Amway is a pyramid and when a sale is made many people get a cut. Anyone who thinks this applies to bitcoin does not understand what a pyramid scheme is. So here:

I am also a counter-marketeer. Spend into a rally, buy into a bear market. That is how you profit. You are going to be far less successful following the crowd and asking people what they think.

P.S. This is also how I make money in other markets like stocks, real estate, etc.

I don't do alt-coins. But way to spend like a boss. 

On a related note, the world carrot consortium says Carrots will be the new global currency.

 

Hate does not require understanding. In fact it is almost exclusively practiced by the ignorant.   

I say it's an obvious scam because it is clearly an attempt to confuse people. Calling it bitcoin Core when we all know that bitcoin Core is the main reference wallet is disingenuous. I don't do business with people who lie to me or try bullshitting me with their language.
And why on Earth do we need another alt-coin? Why, to address the problem of not having enough alts? Please. 

What you are really asking is "How do I get money?"

Well, you can buy it with other money, provide a service with payment in bitcoin, or sell something for bitcoin. If you in the USA there is a new place to sell worth checking out. Craigslist.com now has a filter to buy and sell for crypto currency. Put some stuff for sale at a cheap price and maybe you will get some interest.

Some people may suggest gambling or buying their alt-coin. F that. Be a grown-up and put in the effort for better results.

Simple! Just be the first person ever to predict the future. 

I would fly there. For that kind of money a plane ticket is negligible. Meet in person and have the buyer do a bank transfer. When that is confirmed call a friend sitting at your synced wallet. That friend then initiates a bitcoin transaction that you and the buyer can see confirming.  Relax and have a drink together. In about an hour it will have sufficient confirmation. I would require six confirmations for that much money.

Now you have the cash and they have the BTC

P.S. This is not going to work if you think you can hide the money from the tax man. I can almost guarantee you that this will get noticed by all governments involved.

The present. 

Or you could sell something on Craigslist.com
They now have a filter for sellers and buyers who use cryptocurrency. Super easy. Off the books. 

I look everyday for stuff on craigslist now that they have a "cryptocurrency ok" button. Bought a kayak this weekend.   

I find whatever I'm looking for these days. Of course you can buy gold, cars, etc.

Here you go:
GOLD = Veltgold or Amagi metals (discount for buying with bitcoin)
CARS = Overstock.com cars  (Any car you can think of new or used - local pickup)
RANDOM STUFF = Craigslist (filter by "cryptocurrency ok")
GUNS = central texas gun works or search bitcoin at armslist or gunbroker
LAND = bitcoin real-estate or search bitcoin at Landwatch
TRAVEL  = CheapAir for tickets and Expedia for hotels

... There are about 60,000 - 100,000? more, but I don't have time. Google is your friend and so is bitcoin. Most of these places offer a discount to use bitcoin. I expect a discount these days.

OMG this is hilarious. I think the senior class is having some fun today. The local high school just turned up for sale on craigslist. It's $420, payable in bitcoin. lol
