2 days later my bank calls me and says the person's account that sent me the money was hacked and that they needed to refund the 180 euro. Nothing I could do at that point.
I had the same thing happen on Venmo... those fuckers. Â  It's not about the money, it's about sending a message  |

Number of times I have brought up "garden shears" (prior to this post): 0
Well, you've said 'non-sequitteurs' about 3 times, not 0, so perhaps it's you that needs to put the pipe down? Why are we interested in scissors, that aren't scissors? If not scissors, er, uh, what are they? Exactly? Why do you, or anyone else, care? If acting like a dimwitted assburger is your internet persona, and you never break character, I admire your dedication. Kudos! Otherwise, dial 911 immediately & remain on the line until help arrives. |

People need to get the "Bitcoin is used for crime" and the "Bitcoin is dead" and the "blockchain is the only useful thing about Bitcoin" out of their heads, and see that the real value in Bitcoin is that you own and control your own money and don't depend on banks.
It's weird how people here assume that everyone wants to be his own bank. How about being your own plumber? your own butcher? your own garbage man? your own tailor? your own brain surgeon? Think of the money you'll save! The material of a bespoke Italian suit that cost you 6 grand is probably $200 at most! And if you're your own weaver, that $200 fabric will cost you $50 in thread! Self-reliance is good character trait to cultivate. To answer your questions.... I do most of my own plumbing. Last Saturday I butchered one of my goats. I cut my garbage service last month (at least until unburnable refuse accumulates and/or wet weather intervenes next winter), my wife and daughters are developing their tailoring skills. I'll admit I'm taking a pass on the brain surgeon thing, though our four kids were all born at home. In a world where people can't change their own oil or mow their own lawn competently any more, developing good hands-on skills provides many benefits both in life satisfaction and in competency to take on new tasks, whether in your occupation or avocationally. That would apply to banking and investing as well. There's your problem right there. You think people don't change their own oil because they can't. I'm here to tell you (as someone who has restored many cars, frame-up, doing everything from machine work to upholstery myself) that I don't change my own oil (in the daily beater) *because I do not want to*. I'd rather spend my time doing something I like to do. Just like a surgeon might want to spend his time on something other than his plumbing. See? Edit: That's what living in a *society* is all about. You don't *have* to shoe your own horse, you can go to the village blacksmith, who is set up for such thing & does it better & faster. In exchange, he will come to you when he needs his plumbing done, because you're better at plumbing. Everyone wins P.S. Not sure how to interpret your sig in light of you being on a money changer forum. |

Another non-sequitur. Diagnosis: ineducable. Yeah, I'm not really sure why it is you keep bringing up garden shears (even more bizarrely, "non-gardening shears"  ). Educate me about these garden scissors you keep mentioning, and what it has to do with the topic at hand Number of times I have brought up "garden shears" (prior to this post): 0 I suggest you start spending substantially less coin on drugs. Or substantially more. What you're doing now is clearly not working for you. |

It is nice to have a shop and that is also nice for Bitcoin itself so you can make Bitcoin more acceptable and that is quite nice.
The only thing is that you must make it more popular and that is also important otherwise people will not know it.
That's nice. Safe to say that no one outside of the Bitcoin community (those already using BTC) will use OpenBazaar. Why would anyone go through the hassle of buying BTC & installing an unknown app? To shop on an online marketplace with poor selection? that you can't meaningfully search? Perhaps lack of buyer protection is gonna draw them in? Everyone keeps bringing up eBay's high fees. Have you gentlemen ever heard of Craigslist? No fees to buy or sell, use any payment method you wish, even BTC. |

That was your point? Ok
Sorry, clearly overestimated you. But, alas, while a word to the wise is sufficient, you need things spelled out. So here you go, Tiger: My point is rather obvious: Since no one engaged "in successful agorism anything on OpenBazaar," your post ("Number of people engaging in successful agorism on Craigslist: 0,") was either a non-sequitur or simply stupid. If you need further tutoring, please see me after school -- you're holding back the rest of the class. Right, uh, get well soon? Another non-sequitur. Diagnosis: ineducable. |

It works, it is free, and there is no server that can be shut down.
Number of times I worried that someone will shut down Craigslist servers: 0 Number of people engaging in successful agorism on Craigslist: 0 Number of people engaging in successful agorism anything on OpenBazaar: 0 What's your point? Number of weeks OpenBazaar has been launched: 0 What's yours? Number of weeks [since] Princess Celestia's Bit Coin Bazaar has been launched: 0 Ponies not engaging in successful agorism on Princess Celestia's Bit Coin Bazaar; Equestria on the verge of becoming a Libertarian paradise tho P.S. They really do use BitCoins in Equestria, shit you not!  |

Do you think that people hate bitcoins why?
Are you hate bitcoins or like it.........
But my answer is I LIKE BITCOIN.
OP, people don't hate Bitcoin, they hate Bitcoiners. Just like people don't hate cartoon ponies, they hate bronnies. For roughly the same reasons: Both fandoms are neckbeard manchildren with no social skills, who never shut up about shit no one cares about. There are differences, of course: bronnies can form complete sentences & punctuate those correctly (making them harder to distinguish from normal people). They're also far less likely to get arrested/do srs time (either because they're not all fucking criminals or simply because they're smarter & don't get caught). I hope this clears things up for you, OP. And, now that you've been told, you'll never be able to ignore how similar the two fandoms are |

Bitcoin IS money!!!
People can buy goods and services with Bitcoin, therefore it is money!
I know people who already get partly paid in Bitcoin by their employer, therefore Bitcoin is money!!
I know tweakers who get paid in meth. I guess that means meth is also money... |

Forked-tongue lying Stolfi is back to spread his particularly toxic brand of divisive misinformation I see ... not enough corruption in Brazil to keep the anti-ponzi buster busy? His lies about Blockstream's actions and motivations around segwit are very insidious, evil and divisive, believe him at your financial cost.
Someone needs to inform the Brazialian tax-payers how much time an academic on their payroll is spending on internet forums spreading lies for banksters.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Pretending to hate someone you love is a horribly faulty defense mechanism, Marcus, that's what little girls do. It's the 21st century, just tell him! But these shifts from closeted flirtation to protestation? Nauseating to watch. |

So , to make all or most of the people accept Bitcoin it takes a long time, but I'm not sure that Bitcoin will replace the money within 10 years , because there is still a lot of Bitcoin is updated . Of course, much has changed when it happens .

This looks promising. I hate to be a naysayer about I2P, but who the fuck implements network-layer with JAVA?! Probably packed with vulnerabilities and SLOW... Who knows, maybe OpenBazaar will be the killer app for I2P. Has anyone here actually tried it? |

This is actually a very brillant idea.
But do not expect anything from Ebay fa*s. They already got paypal and enjoying to drain peoples blood.
PayPal is a business, like any other business, the bodega on the corner. No one is forcing you to use it. Use CC, use BTC, use IOU notes. Some find PP's services worth the price, others don't. But raging about PayPal "drain[ing] peoples blood"? That's just weird. Oh, Bitcoin has its own eBay now. It's called OpenBazaar. Enjoy. |

OP, we already got our own eBay -- OpenBizarre.
