I would expect that they are using BTC. It seems to me that if they are, it is being used in a very limited way. DASCH does have enough tech savvy members who would understand the importance of bitcoin. They also have a strong incentive considering their need to move money around the world. Making it even more attractive is the fact that bitcoin plays nicely with Islamic banking rules.
Then again, they are currently gearing up to produce their own gold coins. I suspect people will continue to use gold anyway.

too many people are using the third party mentality of the fiat world. in a technology that is suppose to be first person.
This should be at the top of each page here. I just don't get it. We finally have money we can transact for ourselves without banks or middlemen, without rip-off financial instruments. So what happens? People show up here looking to "invest" in bitcoin and find some 17 year old kid to manage their money for them. They think they will double their money joining a ponzi or buying into some cloud mining scam they don't understand. They think there is some financial guru with a chart that shows the future. They just aren't getting it. |

Okay your asking how to make 120-240 usd?
Work? Use USD to buy Bitcoin.
I second that. The way to get money is to work. There is nothing different if bitcoin is the money you want. You could also sell something. |

A very major factor for me is that bitcoin is open source and distributed. It has no controlling entity and nothing can be hidden in the code. Without these two factors bitcoin would be nothing more than some companies frequent flyer coupons.

It's Chinese new year, what you expect? ...
No one ever looks farther than their own bias here anymore. Except you.  As you point out, it's the biggest holiday on the Chinese calendar. Saying it is a crash is like saying there is an annual Christmas crash in the U.S. |

A contest has been held to answer your question! Bitcoin peers from around the world have contributed and found the correct value of a bitcoin to be about $239.  |

Why mixed? It's great news.
You can't expect retailers to keep the coins after a completed sale. Volatility is too heavy for that.
Perhaps the time will come that they see the benefit of keeping the coins instead of using a third party to convert everything.
Exactly right. Serious businesses are not going to stupidly "invest" in bitcoin the way so many individuals do. When I work with businesses I always recommend using a payment processor rather than directly managing coins. This is the model that works for them. |

I shoot things. Sometimes with little guns, sometimes with big ones. That's me in the jeans lighting up the 155 Howitzer.  |

That's perverse!  |

I didn't read her thing. But It is true that many of the people who are joining DASCH stat that money is a big reason. DASCH pays more than any other group in Syria. It is about $1K per month. That is a lot considering the 30%+ unemployment throughout the region. Not sure how long they can keep it up though. I see that their affiliate in Afghanistan is only offering $500.
You can also see the effect of this by going to places where unemployment is not an issue. In Oman I feel like the Jihad is million miles away. They have few insurgents there because everyone is busy making money. Even village by village you can predict how much support for DASCH is there by how poor the people are. Not that jobs are "the" issue. But 18, disenfranchised, and unemployed is a dangerous combination.
For 1K a month you can: behead people (but you need to purchase the knife yourself), rape any infidel women you meet, then retire early by blowing yourself up? Sounds like a great plan to get rid of poverty...  Lol, yeah. The brochure is a little vague on that part. I saw an interview with one of these guys who went there to fight the CIA. (So he was told). He would be given super weapons and learn to fight like Rambo. Of course when he got there he was handed a broken AK during a firefight! It didn't take him long to figure out that there were no CIA agents to fight. He said he never killed anything except Muslims and that mostly they were fighting for oil fields and other resources. He is now trying to figure out how to get the F out of there. Not an easy task since he burned his passport when he arrived. |

Jesus, if this was ancient history I could understand how you could be so wrong. Libya went through a civil war in 2011 as part of the "Arab spring". A grassroots movement in the Arab world.
Am I the only person here who went to school?

I look for good ideas and especially good people. They must have a legally registered business in the U.S., a business plan that demonstrates the financial solvency of the business, and are willing to sign a contract.
I would NEVER do business with less than these factors. Without them you do not have an investment at all. You have a promise from a kid on the internet. You need the legal backing to sue them if they scam you. Only a written contract is really useful in court.

I travel, I appreciate lots of artistic endeavors, I do outdoor sports like climbing and canoeing, I play video games, etc... Why does it have to be about money?

I hear what your saying. I often have to compromise on model or price to get what I want with bitcoin. However look again at Overstock. You can get whatever kind of car with whatever features you want. And the Ford dealer can get you any Ford product. There is also Tesla motors. They will make a car for your bitcoins.
Same with the real estate market. They take BTC or cash. Same price, same everything except payment method. I have been looking into this a while now. I am shopping for 40+ acer plots of real estate in the upper midwest. They are not as hard to find as you may think.

Hacking my ass. Those bastard exchanges just stealing from themselves and saying that they're hacked.
Thats just another possible scenario also . I mean , everyone can invst shitload of money and make developpers create an exchange and at the end of the day and when the exchanger become successfull , they can simply go to their host , make an HTML Page saying "We got hacked , bye bye ". and it's all done . No one can proove anything or say anything about it . ~ Madness It really makes it hard. As you say, we have nothing but their word when there is a claim of hacking. I do think most of them are hacks though. Criminals are going to be attracted to digital money that the police don't even understand. It is a crime that one can get away with. Just yesterday there was a report about online bank robberies, Apparently one group has stolen almost a billion dollars in the last year. A billion! |

Ok, now I'm a certified bitcoin pro also. I wrote it on a cocktail napkin and hung it on my office wall. I couldn't be prouder, I made summa cum laude!

You get rich when you work your ass off. You get cheated when you believe someone who says different.

Maybe we should start calling them out? Each post we send to PayPal or whoever might be interested in following up. Perhaps if they feel they are being watched here it will help?
