1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin WesternUnion like service on: February 09, 2015, 02:34:29 PM
Thinking about WU-like service I came to these conclusions:
How do you plan to receive and give money to your clients? If you want to compete with WU you need an offline places (small kiosks will do).
Say you have 1 kiosk in Madrid and 1 in Tokyo. Person A gives you 100 Euro in Madrid. You convert them to Bitcoin and make a transaction. Person B comes to your office in Tokyo and receives Yens.

1. Bitcoin works like any other ecosystem. If you stay inside it - you are good (have small Tx fee). If you convert Bitcoins to fiat - you always loose more %.

2. In the scheme above when person transfers money from Madrid to Tokyo - why do you need to use Bitcoin? You can have some cash in Madrid and some cash in Tokyo. Office A accepts money in Madrid and Office B gives money directly to client from their pile of cash.

3. Money transfer in WU costs a lot less then you think. Their profits go to office rentals, staff, salaries etc. If you wish to do you business in few countries and open 5-10 offices in different cities, hire people, pay taxes and earn money for yourself - you might end up with same fees as WU.

How do you plan to protect your game from robots and known card algorithms?

Thanks for nice answers!

1. Invest at gambling site
I would suggest investing in an established gambling site. You will make money whilst pretty much holding onto your BTC.
Can you please explain this a little broader? Maybe point me to one gambling site which is seeking investments?

Hi!
I have a small amount of BTC (like 10BTC) in cold storage. What would you suggest me to do to make some profit out of it? I used to HODL them, but now I want them to grow (even if its few satoshis a day... still better then nothing lol)
I'm not talking about HYIP or trading BTC/USD/other - because I don't understand how they work and I would easily loose money there.

I've read all thread. And most of it is a discussion about AI and dreams about future Skynet Cheesy

Most important question is how will this AI (Agent) make an income?
