No need for small amounts... only the large $10k amount. And the BTC will not be spent in Brazil.

Ahhhh good idea, thank you.

Hi,

Sorry I only speak English I have a friend (Brazilian) who would like to acquire roughly $10k in BTC for cash some time in the next week or so. She'd be paying in Brazilian Reals. She's in Brazil currently.

Any suggestions?

Ironically, this will make Bitcoin world MORE anonymous, as more US people will now use the anonymous cash deposits at banks via BitInstant instead of Dwolla (it was already much faster... now it's more far more private as well).

The island we're building is becoming ever more important.

Cool!

My recommendations: 

1) don't have people specify "monthly budgets"... that's a relic of the old systems that bitcoin does away with. Instead, when someone clicks the Laybit button, a quick popup should ask how much to donate.  I know I'd rather tip some people more than others.

2) Not thrilled with the name... I bet there's somethin better

Sincere thanks to everyone who said such kind words about the piece, really made my day when I checked all the messages this morning! It really makes all the effort worthwhile to have such compliments from such honorable people here in this wonderful community.

For those asking about translations and any kind of distribution or re-posting, feel free to do whatever you'd like, however you'd like.

Onward!

 

Fixed, thanks!

Thank you, fixed on both counts

Hi all,

Earlier this week I was a guest on a radio show (Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock). During the interview, the host asked/demanded that I draft up a comprehensive overview of Bitcoin for those who were totally oblivious, and this would be released in the Freedom's Phoenix magazine today (April 13) for their April issue.

So of course I did, and the piece is now finished and published today. This is a primer on Bitcoin for liberty-minded folk, covering the topic from the lens of a non-techie libertarian. Even covering topics briefly, the document ended up at 14 pages single-spaced.

I've now republished this on my blog, so feel free to read and comment and copy and distribute at your leisure.

I'll also be back on the radio show next week, to further discuss with the host and his audience why Bitcoin is the best thing to happen to human liberty since the internet.

4 @ 5.5 btc

To someone who is new to Bitcoin, the above may as well be latin.

One could always email a wallet file to someone, but Coinapult is a service for normal people

This cash deposit system is the absolute fastest and easiest way for US residents to buy Bitcoin. It's super easy. It's worth trying it out with $20 just to see how great it is - you can often have funds in your account before you even get home from the bank.

Also, it's worth pointing out, you don't need an account with the bank, and any branch of Bank of America, Chase, CitiBank, and Wells Fargo work for this.

Ahhh I didn't realize the article was about the Federal Reserve!!

It absolutely needs to be done.

I like the work you do, LadyBytes.

Yeah thank goodness you posted there, thanks Hazek

Bingo.

Thank goodness Bitcoin was created and will grow in adoption before the governments were able to implement purely digital and tracked money. Humanity dogged a bullet there.
