What incentive is there to use cash to buy Bitcoins to buy marijuana when you could just use the cash to buy it? The reason to use debit or credit cards would be the convenience of not having to stop by the bank first to get cash. Bitcoins, in this case, would provide no benefit in anonymity or convenience.
I just think people who got Bitcoins might take an advantage of this. Stoner miners or minor stoners. lol  |

September 9th 2013 the Colorado Department of Revenue created the final regulations for Marijuana use and sale, implementing the Colerado Retail Marijuana Code. January 1st 2014 the first official stores has opened for Marijuana sale. The twist however is that you cannot pay for the legal Marijuana with your VISA or Mastercard. You can only use hard cash or Bitcoin. Matt Miller from Bloomberg explains that: You can only spend cold hard cash, you cant pay for your weed even for medical use with a credit or debit card. I guess the Banks are unwilling to get into this business yet. Read more and see the video here: http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/01/03/can-now-use-bitcoin-generate-tax-revenue-colerado-buying-marijuana/That's good news, but I hope they don't get caught out money laundering this way. |

What do you mean by Microcoins?
Probably alt/shitcoins . |

His account was indeed compromised.
I found it a bit perplexing that they asked for such a little amount. Not the smartest idea whoever it was. You could've done far more damage with a mod account, especially by staying off the radar (unless other scams were perpetrated). |

You'll eventually get your money. It'll probably take a month or two if it goes like usual mtgox withdraws.
Gox is such a scam.
what???mtgox scam??? really?? Not literally, but you'll be waiting a while for your money. |

worse thing is i'm going to have to mine this stupid coin now just in case it really does take off .
Ha, I'm sure many people will feel this internal conflict and hate themselves for it. |

play at just-dice
Haha, this is why I'd never gamble with BTC. |

It's not the banks that will do the regulating but the government. Regulation is naturally going to happen whether we like it or not.
Are you claiming that the various governments of the world are not being influenced by large banks? No, I'm not. |

bitbargain is OK but you have to take some seller tests which they take some BTC for
What tests and why do they charge you? It was .1BTC to apply, then like 38 questions on how their selling process works, what to do in situations, etc (info is all on there website). But they charge like £1 per question and I gave up in the end. Yeah, that sounds ridiculous. |

I have been hearing a lot of positive news from Australia, which is related to Bitcoin recently. Will be extremely happy if the Reserve Bank of Australia takes steps to regulate Bitcoin.
Excuse me if I'm being ignorant, but isn't Bitcoin supposed to evade government and banking regulations anyway? Wasn't that Satoshi's original vision, as stated in several quotes from him? Why seek approval from the banksters and their lackeys, when Saotoshi himself apparently saw them as enemies -- and supposedly designed Bitcoin as a way to undermine their incredibly unfair and inefficient system? Here's a famous Satoshi quote: "Yes, [we will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography,] but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own." It seems to me that Satoshi's vision, as stated by him/her/them, was for BTC to effectively undermine the current monetary/banking system. But I'm a newbie, so I could be totally wrong. However: I do, of course, understand that government regulations will affect price negatively and greatly hurt widespread adoption in the short term. It's not the banks that will do the regulating but the government. Regulation is naturally going to happen whether we like it or not. |

I think both smokers and non-smokers and brutally aware of that. Prices of cigarettes over here are nuts. Cannot fathom why people pay for that crap.
Lol... that's why people are buying it illegally, using Bitcoin. The seller at Bitmit was from Moldova and he was selling cigarettes at cheap rates. I can't imagine how you'd save much buying cartons this way. Especially risky if you get hit with customs charges which would then defeat the purpose. |

Thanks for your answer. I'm not sure I follow you completely about bitpay. Use bitpay. It converts straight to fiat and there's no need for an escrow. I don't see why anyone would pay more than it's worth in BTC. Usually people give discounts.
I wouldn't mind not using an escrow, but I assume someone paying 700 BTC would want it. Does bitpay somehow escrows the coins? Bitpay is just a payment processor. I don't see why you would need escrow if you're doing the deal in person or through lawyers. They send you the funds via bitpay, then you sign the deeds over. Bitapay deposits the cash in your bank. I'd save onto some if not all of those Bitcoins if you can afford to. I'm sure they'll be worth a hell of a lot more later in the year. |

What are you so aggressive? Let's run one game, and you will see how it works and that it is not a scam.
Because we don't like scammers. And how long is one 'game' going to last? Depends on frequency and size of the transactions. The sooner reached a critical bet, the faster transactions will cease. So one 'game' could go on all year. Ha, that's what he hopes. |
