Who knows israel will be wiped off the map before the next conference as thats what they deserve. Palestinians gave a little land to the jews back in the day to live on and those unthankful slaves took over more than half the country. If hitler was alive the world of been such a better place, loved what he did to these jokers back in the day.
you have to live in that mind and body, I pity you if you actually believe that. this opinion aside.... The Palestinians need some humanity and support from the World and this madness from Israel has to end. I think a lot of right-minded Israelis are against the neocon government and apartheid regime but like Americans they have an equally shit government and always do. Makes no difference which way you vote. Obama and Bush, both scum and what they have done.Certainly overseas and worldwide, the overwhelming opinion is against this fascist regime, both America & Israel. thats the reality. It's sad as I personally know hundreds of the coolest people in America. That's the great irony, the horrific crimes against the Jewish people that were perpetuated in WW2, happened, and is understandable they want to become safe etc. However they have a monstrous government that has tentacles all over the world that creates so much war and death to 'protect' a few. It's like the abused became the abuser. either way Palestinians can't win, surrounded by concrete, most land gone, no supplies, no airforce, no military, no army. of course terrorism will flourish in an environment like this, where they can' leave by air or sea, hospitals and schools bombed. even their national football team were arrested illegally by israel, visas snatched, imprisoned. every Palestinian is a terrorist in the eyes of the Israeli government. plus if someone killed just one child in your family like this, what would people do? one family lost 18 children I think other day in Palestine. anyways, I think what is happening now with mass boycotts all over the world of Israeli products will start to get message across. It was slow with south africa but got there in end with this process. |

this should be boycotted on humanitarian grounds not just personal safety issues. I believe most people will, as the World at large is disgusted,not with the majority of the Israeli people, but the Zionist, Apartheid regime.  |

can't find the link I saw interview with , but Roger said he was at a bbq at a friends house couple years ago and was showing the kids of his friends how bitcoin worked and was a sending them small amounts like candy
his friend commented on how all the klids were gathered round him and were interested and he said' You're like a bitcoin Jesus'

http://www.coindesk.com/sandman-hotel-group-now-accepts-bitcoin-reservations/https://twitter.com/SandmanHotelsVancouver-based Sandman Hotel Group has started accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for room reservations.
Sandman claims the move makes it the first Canadian hospitality company to accept bitcoin. The group operates 44 hotels across Canada, and says guests can now make bitcoin reservations at every one of them.
Customer requests
Salim Kassam, Vice President of Marketing for Sandman Hotel Group, pointed out that Vancouver hosted the TED talk summit earlier this year, which brought in a diverse, tech-savvy group of travellers.
“Our hotels had a number of enquiries regarding payment through alternative payments including bitcoin. As a customer-focused company with an eye on technology, we decided to incorporate this emerging technology as a payment option,” said Kassam.
Kassam said Sandman opted to eliminate risks associated with price volatility by choosing to convert all bitcoin payments to Canadian dollars instantly.
Coinbase partnership
To make instantaneous exchange a reality, Sandman decided to tap Coinbase, one of the leading providers of bitcoin wallets and payments services.
To make a booking, the customer simply selects bitcoin as a payment option, receives a digital invoice and then transfers the bitcoins to Sandman’s account on Coinbase. As soon as the payment is confirmed, so is the reservation.
“We feel that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies may be here to stay. We can tell you without question that more and more of our customers are seeking to pay with this currency, and our job as hoteliers is to be accommodating to the changing needs and requests of our guests,” said Kassam.
Expanding sector
Although Sandman claims to be the first Canadian hotel chain to accept bitcoin, there are a number of ways people can use bitcoin in the hospitality industry. Expedia recently announced that it plans to accept bitcoin for hotel reservations. The company said bitcoin would simply be integrated into the payment options alongside credit/debit cards and PayPal.
Additionally, back in February, California-based travel agency CheapAir said it is expanding its bitcoin service to allow users to book hotels with bitcoin. The company claims users can book rooms at more than 200,000 different hotels through its service.

agree with everything franky1 says in his posts
also look into greenpeace, recently, how they lost millions just speculating on financial markets, yet don't even accept btc
there are some real idiots at big charities.
support the really small charities that have a proven record on a shoestring, with pure volunteers, they risk being wiped out like small business yet have some of the best people, a small donation can mean a huge difference to the charity and the people they help
don't get me wrong redcross do amazing work but will never go out of 'business' they get gov. money too and are very high profile
again people like seans outpost are truly good people.

Another potentially interesting angle is that Rakuten has its own bank, offers credit cards, has its own securities brokerage and runs the e-cash network of RFID-chip cards known as Edy.
Mikitani made the comments in a speech (unofficial translation) to several of Rakuten’s merchants in Fukuoka, saying:
“The Internet revolution is accelerating this year and I imagine that, sooner or later, Rakuten will start accepting money in the form of bitcoin (an internet virtual currency).”
Rakuten has its finger in many major pies. It is regarded as a global competitor to Amazon.com, and Mikitani himself is an Internet business pioneer often referred to as ‘Japan’s Jeff Bezos’. It also manages a professional baseball team, the Rakuten Eagles, which last year won the Japan Series.
Mikitani often engages in a fierce business rivalry with fellow entrepreneur Masayoshi Son of mobile phone carrier Softbank, with the two regularly seeking out ways to disrupt Japan’s often conservative corporate status quo.
The company’s online marketplace, Rakuten Ichiba (literally ‘Rakuten marketplace’), has over 40,000 independent merchant members. According to Wikipedia, its revenues in 2012 reached $4.63bn.
Going global
The company is further famous for its aggressive acquisition policy, traveling the world to buy other e-commerce sites including Play.com, Buy.com (for $250m in cash in 2010), and messaging app Viber in February this year for $900m.
It has also bought a stake in Pinterest, and purchased e-book company Kobo, whose devices it markets and sells in Japan, again in direct competition with Amazon.com.
Were Rakuten to begin accepting bitcoin, whether sooner or later, virtually every kind of consumer product would potentially be available for purchase with bitcoin in Japan. Often seen as another Holy Grail for digital currency, neither it nor CEO Mikitani has previously hinted publicly the option might be considered. this is the next step wee were waiting for normally tech savvy on the money Japanese are asleep at the wheel when it comes to bitcoin in terms of it's population this will wake them up their economy is screwed too, so bitcoin is a natural alternative |

The funny thing about this is that it doesn't look like LinkedIn accepts bitcoins for their premium accounts. Not that I'd ever pay for my LinkedIn account given the insane amount of money they charge, but you'd think if the cofounder is investing in bitcoins, they'd accept it for their subscriptions too.
I can see that happening |

It won't affect price such a relatively small thing, but he clearly has an understanding of potential and impact. he is also a multi multi millionaire self-made , a tech guy and very intelligent other people, (plus he must have many prominent friends in tech community) will sit up and notice plus someone like himself will no doubt have been to bbqs and parties etc and discussed it with prominent people, he's on board for xapo too this is just one of hundreds of positive such things in past few months we will go back to the moon and past it before end autumn. If not I will dress like bennett from commando for a week, tache and all |

did o/p say some was in an exchange? if so they will have i.p
you can force them to give this , I would hope they would give willingly asap if so
once you have that you're cooking on gas
depending ion what jurisdiction they're in they could be looking at some serious jailtime if caught
if I were in this position I would contact Roger Ver, he takes no nonsense, very bright guy and didn't give into the blackmailer.
he may well be able to give advice and publicize for you
good luck
