EDIT: I seem to remember someone making an ascii art star wars movie gif, and I think one was made for the matrix as well - anyone have a link to any of these?
In terminal (and probably CMD) write: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl Enjoy! Star Wars is awesome!  |

"Islam invites other religions to accept it"... Loooool!  Maybe if you stop "inviting" people with death threats along the lines, people will be more kind to the "invite". Also the good and evil eternal bullshit! "Islam rewards people for being good"... right! You just have that small issue that killing people is being "good". Even if it is without death threats, proselytization is really annoying. |

You wrote "For any user who simply submits a link about the bitdrop to our subreddit I'll give you $0.25 of free bits."
Paying for posting. You're banned. Duh.
How is that different from changetip operating and Tipping on reddit for posting? Its pretty close to hypocritical. Well, it is not. Reddit keeps rules to the minimum, they try to let users post whatever they like and they have faced consequences because of that. Reddit rules are pretty simple. http://www.reddit.com/rules/"NOT OK: Buying votes or using services to vote." Pay to post is pretty much the same thing as pay to vote. |

This looks like Braintree news.. Nothing in relation to PayPal/eBay. This will allow merchants to accept Bitcoin payments via their mobile app..... FYI - let's not get too excited about this.
There is no reason why one subsidiary would accept bitcoin and the rest of the company would not. What would likely happen is any payments to be processed with the customer paying with bitcoin will be processed via braintree which will use coinbase to process the transaction (as per news articles that have reported the deal). I just hate the fact you have to rely on coinbase for this one. Like get with it. Come with a solution that is easy and doesn't involve 3 degrees of separation with Coinbase/Braintree app/PayPal/etc. This is what Bitcoin was built for, to be used as a protocol that people and companies can build on. |

Is Apple's big announcement going to have anything to do with Bitcoin?
Probably not. But whatever they announce tomorrow is not going to sound as huge because of today's announcement. That is only my wild guess, of course. I found this article that says that they might incorporate Bitcoin into iphone6. I guess we can dream anyways.  http://www.bidnessetc.com/24803-iphone-6-might-feature-bitcoin-functionality/Hot stuff. |

Well, I actually see the "anonymity" of bitcoin as a problem but because it is not anonymous, we have to use 3rd party services, mixers or tumblers, to maintain our privacy. The "problem" you're talking about happens with cash, I'd say cash is a quite successful technology. |

oh, and i find it strange that everyone is rejoicing when practically the entire forum here hates the living shit out of paypal.
Mass acceptance/adoption is, generally speaking, what Bitcoin advocates want. Everyone uses PayPal. Accepting Bitcoin provides legitimacy and, effectively, free advertising. Ultimately new-to-Bitcoin PayPal users will learn that they can use Bitcoin without PayPal. Besides, most of the PayPal horror stories involve sellers. For consumers using PayPal, it's a different story. So as a consumer, why not have a PayPal account with a "legit" Bitcoin wallet built in for your "legit" bitcoins? It would be the first of its kind: a wallet seamlessly integrated almost everywhere that lets you choose between funding transactions from your bank account, debit and credit cards and Bitcoin balance. Exactly, Network Effect, value increases if userbase increases, and we also like speculative bubbles. we've had at least 5 major corporations that have begun to accept bitcoin this year.. and where has the price gone? for me, i think the real moon lies with the ETF.. that's when billions of new money will come flowing it. with guys like paypal/newegg/dell/overstock and the like, they only make bitcoin move around the blockchain more, which ends up back at the exchanges and lowers the price. Speculative bubble price correction, if late 2013 bubble hadn't happened you would just see price increasing slowly over time. |
