Oh yes, when the value of asset decreases by a factor of 3 in one year, this is truly perfect store of value :lmao:

There is an argument that apple pay will actually have lower costs as it will hopefully have a lower fraud rate and a smaller number of instances of credit card numbers getting stolen from merchants in similar ways that credit card numbers were stolen from merchants like Target and Home Depot

having a nice diverse amount of fiat, metals, bitcoin and alternatives crypto is always a great idea... but 100@% stupid to be all in as some people say... fiat is more stable

Paying taxes give you access to services from your country. When those services are of low quality people should get things in their hands and start looking at how their money were spent. This is not something we can do today because of how shady our political system makeg things, with cryptocurrencies everything would be at advatange of people.

I wouldn't say that apple pay is necessarily a bad attempt. I would say that it would have all the same costs associated with making credit card payments, however it does not have any disadvantage that using a credit card does not already have.

I would say it is a long term good thing for bitcoin because it will get people to be comfortable spending money with their phone which will get people comfortable using bitcoin with their phone.

USA can certainly pay, with their FBI forfeited BTCs.

No, not in my lifetime I say.

Is very interesting to notice that majority of bearish opinions come from US, while majority of bullish opinions are overseas.

The main drive for this is the shale oil revolution, which is being minimized in the public channels so US can take a huge leap forward. Meanwhile, EuroFlowers go riot because they think shale is going to poison the Milky Way.

The second drive is that while in Euroland, Russia and LatAm are driving towards a neo-socialism (which means rigid labour, low productivity, subsidies and general misery) US and some Asian countries are still waving the business friendly flag.

As some pointed here, Stock Market is useless. Its pretty disconnected from reality since 2010. But you will live much better the next 10 years in USA than in any euro country, thats a fact. And im under the blue starred flag... 

0.05BTC enrollments will now be subject to a fifteen-day evaluation. If less than 10 qualified posts were made, or a 7 day period with no qualified posts elapsed, the enrollment will be immediately vacated and barred from the campaign. Full and Member enrollments are also subject to the additional requirement that they may not have a 7-day period with no qualified posts. This won't affect 0.1BTC enrollments (yet). Anyone hoping for sudden openings can thank hotsaucee forI  wasting a slot this month and giving cause to this change.

Putting 1% of your retirement contributions in Bitcoins wouldn't be a bad idea.

The important thing here is for the US to play a balancing act. Any moves too big make people start to question how the system works and causes them to think critically about the cycles in place. As long as everything seems professional and above board and with oversight and thoughtfulness, it will pass over.

This coupled with the very low rates of corruption in the United States make it seem like a paradise compared to the largesse you find in navigating resources in lots of other countries. As long as the system seems solid and grounded, and as long as the military is big enough to thwart everyone else, and as long as people will keep borrowing dollars.... well you get my drift.

 Yuan to Start Direct Trading With Euro as China Pushes Usage

 But then those 'commies' have also blown the largest debt bubble of all time in just the last several years worth of time.

 So NO, I wouldn't dare care for any phony yuan money anymore than phony dollar money.


 Their both PHONY CURRENCIES, and horrible 'stores of value', and their both being counterfeited to the extreme.

 Only delusional types would support such insanity. Or any other debt-based (phony baloney) currency.

Sorry, I show you're enrolled in another campaign already! I also show you intended to remain enrolled in it as of two days ago (see your recent post history) so I have notified the manager of that campaign that you are not currently using their signature. Since you acted in bad faith toward another campaign, I have to bar you from this one.
