Also worked for putting the Coinbase App on my new phone. Works great!
(Even though it was previously removed from the App Store too.)

I think Blockchain and Coinbase should put a nice little download link to the free Apps on their websites and instructions that show people they can side-load it this way.

If you know of anyone that wants the free Blockchain App for their iPhone or iPad, it is a super simple job.

iTools 2013 is a free software available on CNETs download site.
It allowed me to copy it from my old phone to my new iPhone in just a few seconds.

iTools was only about 3MB and was a stand alone executable. So no need to install anything.
I did virus check it and found no problems.

I'd have been happy to put a link to it and the Blockchain app on here, but come on, if it's one thing we all do share - it's a mutual distrust of anyone else.

Anyway, couldn't imagine it being any easier or faster.

Cheers!

Anon136,  Thanks for all the hard work you're doing in support of BTE!

I can tell it's very time consuming for you coming up with all the spreadsheet, updating them, doing escrow, etc.

Much appreciated!

For the purposes of this discussion, lets just say that Bitcoins have no value by themselves.

Bitcoin however is more than just a currency, it's also a payment system. A pretty large, robust, and worldwide payment system.
There are companies that process payments as well. (PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Banks, Western Union, etc.)

So, how much would each Bitcoin be worth if it were valued like a company? (and if all 21 million were available)
Now, I know there are differences between Bitcoin and a company, but there are also many similarities.

To a large extent, Bitcoin does what many companies do. It stores value and processes transactions instantly, all over the globe through a network of computer servers.
There are people working around the clock (and around the world) to keep the system running. (24/7/365)
There are thousands of servers connected.
Millions of dollars and thousands of man hours have gone into creating this infrastructure.
There are tons of websites that exist to supplement the system and perform specialized functions & services to users (clients).
There are people advertising Bitcoin by word of mouth (sales people) and through their business endeavors.  
Many people invest in Bitcoin, in hopes of making a return on their money - just like they do in companies.

All of this adds value.
So what if we compared it to similar companies?

Let's compare with Discover Card. (They really only hold a small share of the payment processing market anyway.)

Collectively, all of their stock holders have invested $19.2 Billion into Discover Financial Services.
So what if people collectively invested the same amount of money into Bitcoin hoping for a return on their money?
How much would each Bitcoin be worth then?
The answer:   $914 ea     ($19,200,000,000 / 21,000,000 Bitcoins = $914/BTC)

But not only does Bitcoin process the payments , it also stores wealth. And deposits have a huge impact on the value of bank stocks.
Could it ever be as large as say Bank of America?
If so, each Bitcoin would be worth - $5,714 ea  

Not too shabby considering  BoA was worth 5 times that a few years ago!

But what if people really got excited - the way they do with technology stocks? Say Microsoft or Google.
If so, each Bitcoin would be worth $10,952 ea.

So do you think it's possible that some people will invest the same amount of money into Bitcoin that they would into a similar company or investment?
I already have... and it's doubtful that I will be the last.

Just some other examples I calculated on Jan-20-2013:
Mastercard - $3,081
Visa - $5,047
Paypal - $3,333
Western Union - $380
Microsoft - $10,952
Citibank $5,809
Wells Fargo - $8,761

NOTE: I originally drafted all of this on Jan 20-2013 so the numbers are from that time and may have changed somewhat by now.

I'll take that offer!    Sent you a PM.

Those of us who own them and use them, should be active on the posts of the big main stream articles. Not arguing with anyone.
Just stating what types of legitimate & legal applications we are actually using them for. Keep it short.

"I buy magazines with mine."

  

Being easier to explain would probably help more than anything.

Convincing the masses to use it will be the ultimate key to success.
