Yes, I thought about it, but that wouldn't change anything. My customers want to have clean and simple accounting books and adding transactions in a non standard currency doesn't interest them. They would have gave me the same answer if I would have asked to be paid in Australian dollars or any other currency which isn't their currency.

I'm not using BTC everyday, actually, I could even live without it. I said I don't have the right to open a bank account in several countries, but that doesn't mean I can't open one anywhere. I mainly use BTC for investment and trading. I prefer to compare it to a foreign currency. I still have Hungarian forints in my wallet right now, but nobody accepts them where I am, so I keep them waiting till I travel again to Hungary to spend them. It would be the same if I am in a country where nobody accepts BTC.

I've thought that many times, but nobody said it couldn't get worse. It's also probable it will get even worse out of Europe, as there will be no supranational power to grant consumer rights to anyone, but I guess that's what the Brits wanted.

I've been a freelancer for over 20 years, and I've asked a few clients if they would be willing to pay me with BTC but none was interested so far. I have plan for a BTC business but perspectives are low, so I'm keeping the thing's on hold. Maybe next year...

Of course, I do. Why shouldn't I? There's nothing to be ashamed of.  Then, all my friends know I'm somewhat special with a different lifestyle and political beliefs, so BTC fits me quite well.

Another altcoin with another blockchain. Is there a faucet so you can get first coins for free? I believe you have to pay and I don't like it. BTC was worthless when it started, and it took years before it was worth something. I guess the creator sof that new altcoin just want to make cash quickly. With women showing some flesh, it has worked countless times before.

You should compare the population of giraffes and men in Kenya during the last 100 years. It's alarming, but the same thing has already happened in Europe. There used to be wild boars, wolves and bears all over Europe. They're all gone.

That would be indirect, but anything which can boost the usage of the Internet can help BTC. Unlimited data transfer at night sounds great. I also like the idea of One India, without any roaming charges between North and South. I just wonder how good is the network when you are in rural areas.

Well, lots of people like me want BTC to move from being Internet only. That's why some install ATMs. Ultimately, I guess it depends on your country, and its people. How do someone buys BTC where you are? Any local players already?

Surprising! I hadn't imagine there could be so many, considering that it's so easy to create a new address, I thought few people would find it useful to watch a given one. Well, I was wrong...

Old question. Atomic power can produce cheap energy for millions but it can also kill millions. Besides high technology, a fork is very useful to eat but it can also hurt you real bad if someone pokes one in your eyes. Ultimately, technology is neutral, everything depends on the men using it.

Putting aside any racist connotation, it's strange that there are so few arab names. Abdul, Ahmed, Ali, Mohamed... There are hundreds of different names for French, German or Italian boys, so I don't quite understand why so many arab parents chose Mohammed. They seem not to care about giving theirs boys a name different from all the others. Teachers don't like it when in a class there's several kids with the same first first name.

I've seen one fully veiled woman today. In France, in Grasse. I thought it was forbidden, maybe she didn't know the law. You could only see her eyes, and that wasn't nice. There are more than 50 countries (yes, five-O) in the world where a woman cannot wear a skirt in the world, and I hope France will not add to that list. French women have been fighting for decades the right to show and enjoy their body and sexuality, and it's very sad to see things going backwards.

Fortunately, it was better at the beach, with one woman topless, but she was more than 50. The young women do not go topless the way their parents did. I don't see this as progress.

I'm in Nice for a few days. I haven't any woman in burkini so far, and that's good. I hope I won't see any. I've seen women wearing some kind of sports bras in the street, that's what I'm expecting to see on the Riviera.

Really? So to get rid of corruption, we'll have to wipe out the human race? I think this is going to hurt, but I have no doubt this is BS. Intelligence probably varies with your genes, but I find it difficult to swallow that there could be some link between the disrespect for the law, or the given word, and your ADN.

Any scientific data to back up that claim?

I don't know what country you're from, but you should consider making it material, with a brick and mortar shop on a popular street. You couldn't make it viable by buying and selling BTC only, but you would help a lot the community by giving BTC a street presence.

Oh, thank you! That's what I was looking for, an article from a well-known source. I don't know where does the OP lives, but this murder didn't made the news where I am.

Muhammad isn't a common muslim name, it's the name of their prophet, don't you know? It just has various spellings in our languages.
That brexit thing will kick away all the polish plumbers (well, maybe), but the sad part is that nearly all poles are catholics. So thousands of catholics will leave, but the muslims, who did not emigrate from another european country will stay.

I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about the freedom of travel for normal people. Don't you know that to visit many countries, you'll need a visa and that to get one, you'll need to show a return ticket, sometimes an hotel booking so the foreign authorities will know where you are, and also pay a very substantial sum?

I know I won't travel to China again, because the last time I applied to get a visa, those f*ckers at the embassy told me that the consular fee was now 175€. Yes, 175€ to get a stupid stamp on my passport! And I couldn't get it right away at that price, there was a 24 hours delay. You see the same shit all over Africa. You show a passport to a guard at the border, he says he needs to see his chief about it, and you spend 3 hours under the sun, only to get the stamp which will allow you to cross the border.

Guys, I believe this whole story is a fake. It didn't happen. It was all invented. Or has anyone a proof that it did actually happened?
