Well I plan to buy and spend until end of my life. No need to "sell".

True, it's not the end of the world or a life changing loss to bear. But I didn't get where I am by handing out money. Maybe i'm wrong and the OP will pay back in full with interest. But if that were believable he wouldn't be on a website asking strangers for loans.

You ave got to be kidding? You have to be bat-shit crazy to take that offer. In fact I think it's a lot more likely that you are the same person than a person dumb enough to do this.

So current TA ranges from "bitcoin is death cross dead" to "Huge price increase imminent".  Shows what guessing get's you.

That is a central question. Bitcoin is "fair" money, not magical money. It is the only system in the world that anyone can use in any place. It is a math algorithm and not a business or person. It does not need to take profits. No one can stop me or compel me to use it. It is trustworthy open source code that operates on a peer-to peer network that can't be hacked or "taken over". No one can control the supply or decide who gets coins from mining. It is unassailable money that does not require trust. The opposite of fiat.

Taxes have nothing to do with it. Taxes are the business of governments and they can tax whatever they like. If you have a problem with taxes you are wasting your time here. You need to speak with your government.

Agreed. It is the only money I use on the internet. I buy stuff every week with bitcoin. I travel, invest in businesses, etc. So who are you to say it has no role? It has a huge role in my economy.

Do not trade alt-coins until you completely understand the system. Most of the people I see lose their money here lose it to alt-coin scams. Just fund an account at a licensed exchange and try buying, then spending some bitcoin.

Get right with the lord and the IRS:

Death cross. 

There is only supply and demand. Death crosses are for stocks, bonds, and other assets that can die. Bitcoin does not need your money.

That's an awesome game. Perhaps if you are really brave you have to wear a private key QR.

In fairness I should mention that I was somewhat ignorant about Africa in the past. It's just not in the news much, especially not the news about how much Africa has changed. So don't let the pictures of the San fool anyone. I had to 4wheel drive for days to find the last of the hunter gatherers. It much easier to find a coffee shop or a computer store.

P.S. Most people can't go to Namibia to pick this up. But, hint hint, you could befriend a Namibian on social media and team up or something. There are no rules here. It's a race to physically go there at this point.

Props for doing something! Please consider taking bitcoin rather than PP. I would never use paypal in a million years.

Unlimited production? No, that is incorrect. If it were true you would be right, but there will be almost, but not quite, 21 million bitcoins produced.

Just curious, what are any of you doing to move the BTC economy? There is nobody but you to call retailers, government officials, etc. Do you think someone somewhere is going to do your work for you?

They are banning ICO's which is great because ICO's are scams. I hope other places follow suit.

I think the first decision is to share profits and use a "payment processor" or "roll your own" and be involved in the transfer of coins.  Payment processors, like bitpay and many others, will handle the transaction for a cut of the sale. Maybe 1%. That is a better deal for retailers than a credit card, they typically take 3%.

If you have time and low volumes of sales you could handle the transactions directly. Simply send a customer a public address to send BTC. Watch than address and when payment is made you can ship with confidence. This means managing your own wallet. It is a bit more work, but offers max security and control over the sale.

I would be very cautious using an online wallet. You are giving up control of the money but, as a business, you are maintaining complete responsibility for the money. Make sure you never keep more BTC online than you can cover if there is a problem with the online website storing your coins.

It would be absolute stupidity to take out a loan to buy crypto. Rule one for any investor:

"Invest only an amount you are willing to COMPLETELY lose". Investing is risking capitol. Never borrow capitol, you obviously don't have money to risk if you have to borrow.

With airdrops you can earn viruses, share your identity with others, and even clean your computer of pesky Bitcoins!

 Goodbye money

The fact that you are putting thought into it rather than hope is a good sign. I'm not sure that any useful TA can be done in the bitcoin markets, but it's better than listening to someones wishful guesses.

What country? What government? In the USA it may draw attention if you suddenly are paying $10k a month in taxes. But you can only be charged with drug dealing after an investigation, arrest, and a trial proving your involvement in drug dealing. The government can't just say "Hmmm. you seem too rich, we're going to jail you just in case".

P.S. They believe me. Just file your taxes.
