Why, until now, government all over the world still doesn't trust bitcoin?

3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PAYPAL FOUNDER PETER THIEL: “BITCOIN IS THE OPPOSITE OF PAYPAL” on: October 22, 2014, 02:12:18 PM
The paypal debate once again. I really hope paypal and bitcoin come to terms. They will surely make loads of money when all of this is settled.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When quoting small amounts of bitcoin, how do you call 100 satoshis? on: October 22, 2014, 02:01:46 PM
Anyhoo, I will sum up the future of Bitcoin. For any of you early adopters out there, consider this your cheat sheet to know where the future of Bitcoin develops:

* "Bitcoin" is still the technology.

* 1 bit will be the "base unit".

* the smallest unit will be "1 bit cent", also known as "1 satoshi" to honor Satoshi Nakamoto. (sort of like 0.01 USD is referred to as a "1 cent", and also its proper name "1 penny", respectively)

* Some people will understand that "1 bitcoin = very rich". The term "Bitcoinaire" may even come up.

* XBT is the abbreviation -- it fits beautifully with "Bitcoin" and "bits", even though that wouldn't be intellectually 100% correct.

* Exchanges, traders, accountants, etc. will understand the price of Bitcoin as "$400 / XBT"

* Laymen will look at the price of Bitcoin as "2500 bits / dollar" (US Dollar) ... bookkeepers and accountants will be familiar with this as well, if necessary.

In response to KingOfTrolls:
I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, it's hard for your average user, and your average adopter, to understand what a "SAT" is, especially in the world of Bitcoin. If you go ahead and tell them, "oh, it's short for Satoshi! The guy who worked a lot on Bitcoin in the beginning had the first name Satoshi. He's anonymous and stuff. But don't ask about that".

...well, that's just adding more confusion. (Even if you make the explanation shorter). I'm not saying this because it is what I believe, I am saying it because it is the reactions and feelings of the layman (and even very technically-minded people).

Will newbies and average users understand? Yes.

Will they remember that "1 sat" is the base unit for Bitcoin? As most people forgot things very quickly, my *intentional* interactions with the layman show that they just don't remember "Satoshi" or "Sat". They entirely remember "bits". Things I have heard include:

"Oh ya... a 'bit', right?"

"Um, it was 1 'yoshi' right?" (to which I reply: "no, 1 SA-toshi")

It is too confusing. How can a 50 year old man process this in their mind.

Are you going to have sig campaigns soon?
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good news! Gavin Andresen: I think everybody should switch to talking in "bits" on: October 22, 2014, 01:36:39 PM
Why switch to bits when there is already "satoshi" as a unit?


It is just the smallest unit. I think.

Reject those thoughts. Dont pay attention with it. Carry on with your enthusiasm with bitcoin and wait for the next rise.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Redundancy check bitcoin adress on: October 22, 2014, 12:09:27 PM
Is there any service available to check if the name I use is the name of the beneficiary I think it is?

Nope.  Bitcoin was actually designed for each transaction to have it's own anonymous address.   Smiley

Have you seen your bitcoin address? I think its safe enough to say that it is unique.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Should One Start With Bitcoin Right Now on: October 22, 2014, 12:02:57 PM
you mustn't learn Bitcoin.you just know that you shoule accept it ,that's enough.

Accept what about bitcoin? If you are here, made an account, commented/posted, you have accepted it. By just making an account, that means you are now a bitcoin disciple.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Things that helps Bitcoin to grow ? on: October 22, 2014, 11:56:38 AM

I mean , would making a website that sell digital goods for Bitcoin helps ? or it won't make any difference , I'am really new at this and not sure how it works  Grin

Making a website helps. Selling goods for bitcoin helps. But what will make btc price rise, bitcoin adoption. All over the world.
