Well if they are fearing it it is because it's direct competition, but I don't think they're too worried or will be any time soon. Even if bitcoin becomes global people will still need banks or some of the services they provide. They will have to adapt and move with the times though.

What 'level of understanding' does a person need? I know the bare bones of how it works and functions but do not understand the specifics of the code. Would this be enough?

The main reason is to join signature deals as you need a higher ranking account to join them. And you see that 6 minute wait you have between each post? Well higher accounts such as mine don't have it.

I'm not sure if 'destroying' all existing financial services is a good idea, but slowly phasing them out or they learning to adapt to the bitcoin technology is. I think they will have to adopt them to sruvive eventually but it should be a gradual and smoothe process.

Well they'll probably just get the fiat value from coinbase, though it's not impossible to keep some btc as that's what Overstock do. Regardless it's still great news for bitcoin whether they do or don't.

Can I just confirm I've been added? I don't seem to be on the list. Forgot my address before. It's 1BTJV1iqggNEH5jKkiKtXMgoS8i9wTHJQH

You're right. An organisation like this could easily be infiltrated when you can buy your way in pretty easily. IT could easily be taken over by some nefarious people or entity for their own benefit, specially if they have enough money.

I like some of the negative ones that the naysayers say as well. Like the people who said it would never be worth anything or will work, kinda like what some people said about the internet lol.

But the 10btc will always be worth 10btc and that's the price it is to donate. I think maybe some other donator ranks could be implemented, but it's not essential. I don't think people would want to donate big accounts now just incase bitcoin rises again lol.

Ok. If that's the case please sign me up.

Op, please confirm me when you can, thanks.

Is this still open and am I able to join?

Is this still open for Full Members? If so can you sign me up?

I like the concept. I think the more things that become decentralised the better. It's the greedy fees that corporations take that will kill them in the end.

The link is removed for being suspicious so that's definitely not a good sign. Maybe it's a phishing site?

I'd wish for more pubes

Chrome all the way!!

Im not so confident. I think theres a definite shelf life. Apple will kill it all with imoney and that will be that.

Busted - You Said No 

I will be skipping this one. My son watches the advert for it on YouTube on the iPad sometimes cos he likes the music and it drives me crazy!
