Does your book store have a website for us to search books?

The store I work at is very old school, the man who owns it has no interest in the internet or in doing business on the internet. So there is no catalogue of what we have, unfortunately, partly because there are so many titles that it would be a massive endeavour to keep track of it all. Some of the books I buy there for my own collection and decide I no longer want them. No academic stuff in terms of textbooks, although there are many university press books coming through all the time.

Thanks for the welcome! Unfortunately we do not deal in magazines or newspapers, although I will keep an eye out at the many antique stores I peruse. Also, I will check out the collectibles board, thanks.

If Satoshi becomes so expensive that it cannot be exchanged for anything, it may create some problems for using bitcoin in everyday transactions. However, in this case, there are several possible solutions:

1. Dividing Bitcoin into smaller units: If Satoshi becomes too expensive, it is possible to divide bitcoin into smaller units to facilitate transactions with smaller amounts. For example, you can create a new unit equivalent to 1/100 Satoshi to be able to conduct transactions with smaller amounts.


My only confusion is as to how one could continue to subdivide bitcoin without effectively "creating" more bitcoins, thus bypassing the 21 million unit hardcap. Its not that I don't believe you, I suppose I have the wrong understanding of what it means to make a smaller and smaller unit. Would that not merely be increasing supply, which is not supposed to be allowed? Or is it something that merely exists on a spreadsheet and doesn't really impact the value or supply or bitcoin overall?

Fair enough, it is so unlikely that it is irrelevant as a concern. But it is theoretically possible, right? Only asking to make sure that I am not an idiot for thinking that it could theoretically happen, as I am new to bitcoin and am no expert of economics, computers, or bitcoin specifically.

What happens if the smallest unit of bitcoin - a satoshi- becomes worth so much money that it cannot reasonable be exchanged for anything? Say one satoshi is the equivalent of $10,000 USD, then what good is it for actual exchange of goods and services, besides buying real estate or somesuch nonsense? Just a random thought I had, and I am no student of economics or computers, but I was curious as to proposed solutions or if this is just an irrelevant concern.

Sorry about the duplication, I realized shortly after this post that it fit better in the marketplace topics. As for the selling, I am not acting as a middleman, but I collect books and every so often decide I don't actually want or need them, and thus sell them on ebay. I suppose I never thought about proving that I am not selling them as stolen, as there are so many millions of people selling things on ebay with no proof - but for the record, I am not selling them illegally, and I have purchased them all. I do not do this as a job, but more as a hobby, a few sales a month type of thing. But I will check out Telegram, thank you. I thought Telegram was merely a messaging app, didn't realize one could create "channels" there.

After all these years of waffling and ignoring, I now seek to become a part of the wave that is bitcoin. However, rather than merely buy bitcoin on an exchange and speculate the days away, I want to actually use bitcoin for some purpose or endeavor, and a few hours ago I realized how I could do this. I occasionally sell books online anyways, and offer anybody the opportunity to purchase books from me using bitcoin as the medium of exchange. If you are interested then send me an email - bookbits@protonmail.com - and I will send you a link to my ebay account. Furthermore, I happen to work at quite a large used book store in New England, and so if you want me to hunt down a particular book for you I can do my best. If you need pictures of the books I will be happy to provide them. I am new to bitcoin, and I want to get involved, and so I apologize in advance for any problems that may arise from my ineptitude regarding computers in general, and bitcoin specifically. Hope this is the right place to post this.
