Please start a thread for Montreal. I pledge to go eating if a restaurant accept bitcoins. For me the 2 best selling points to a restaurant are: New clients: bitcoiners paying with bitcoins Free publicity: local media will be interested about a restaurant accepting a new currency.
And I'm offering to get their business listed on all of the tons of websites listing businesses that accept bitcoin. Does anyone have list of websites listing businesses accepting bitcoins? I think I need to start a thread for that! http://www.thebitcoinreview.comtheirs a nice map too http://www.thebitcoinreview.com/map.php

Introducing Bitcoin to Merchants & CustomersSaturday, April 27th, 2013 8:00PM Location Unknown the first order of business would be to make a list of people that would like to spend their bitcoins in Montreal. Please write a post below if you live in the greater Montreal area and would like to spend your bitcoins there. Also include an idea of what type of business we should go after. I'm thinking a small no-name restaurant that delivers good food would be a good place to start. Bitcoiners in or around Montreal -adamstgbit -dunand -max in montreal -Brunic -br00t -knight22 -Murphant -tac12345 Bitcoiners in or around Toronto -Vitalik Buterin -impulse -teflone -betafall We have a hairdresser just of the island of Montréal that accepts bitcoin, but now we want more merchants saying: Tabarnack, bitcoin c'est l'avenir!

I called Portillos Chicago Restaurant (312) 587-8910 and the manager gave me the corporate headquarters number (630) 954-3773. I called Portillos headquarters, spoke with the operator and she told me to send information via mail or fax (630) 954-5851. Should I fax her a copy of a bit-pay & WeLoveBicoin hand outs? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52611567/WeLoveBitcoin-trifold-flattened.pdfhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/52611567/BitPay-trifold-flattened.pdfShe said there was no one I could talk to, but Extension 184 is for credit card issues & Extension 4 is for advertising Those were the only two "appealing" options when I called their corporate headquarters (630) 954-3773. I opted to let the operator deal with me which was probably a fail. Please let me know which next step you recommend? BUMP! Please read the quoted post. ~Bruno~ this may not have been a fail... the operator might look into bitcoin or talk about it with her boss and he might look at bitcoin... I think you should wait a week and call her again, she might have more of an idea who to pass the phone too. if you call her again in a week and she still hasn't a clue what to do with you... i say try Extension 4 is for advertising, spin bitcoin as an adverting tool, tell them about mezy grill in NY, find the video were the owner of mezy grill was saying his business is booming with new comers because of bitcoin

I'll soon be trekking to Chicago to close the deal with Chicago Cabbie but, while there, I'm going to make forays to several eating establishments, in hope of interesting them into accepting Bitcoin. The list on the following site should be more than enough to keep me busy: http://chicago.metromix.com/restaurants/article/new-on-the-scene/163270/contentThe goal is by summer's end to have several businesses in and around Chicago accepting Bitcoin. To help pull that off, though, I'll need the help of this community. All I'm asking is for you to state that you'll frequent such establishments if they were to accept Bitcoin. I would love to see a formidable list below. I've taken the liberty and imported the list from the Chicago Cabbie thread to seed it. Simply state in this thread that you'll frequent a business that accepts Bitcoin in or around Chicago at least once, and I'll add your name to the list below. - Bruno
- altuin
- bitcoinbitcoin113
- the joint
- anonymous5050
- kjlimo
- Herodes
- Yankee
- squirrelman
- DBordello
- pekv2 (for Portillos)
I'm going to be working in conjunction with Tony with Bit-Pay to help pull this off. I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to say this, but he's got a secret weapon up his sleeve, one I know will help in closing the deals. ~Bruno~ if this works I'd like to do that same thing in my home town of Montreal

A big ask bid wall just disappeared sold into. Get ready for a new lows.
it might be a good idea to practice, everyone do this a few time -> often when walls get sold into, walls get bought out soon after.... wait and see ... keep practicing

I sent an email to Truthout.org, asking if they wouldnt accept bitcoin so I could make an anonymous donation. I got this reply: Thank you for supporting Truthout! Per your email, we do not currently have a bitcoin account but this is something we will look in to. If you would still like to make an anonymous donation, please consider calling in to us, 213-489-1971, and I can process a donation from you with just your credit card information so the donation can be completely anonymous. Thanks again for your support. We truly appreciate you! Completely anonymous credit card transactions i think they mean they will keep your donation private

Ok. Here's what I learned so far since I found bitcoin in it's beggining: it was designed decentralized as a currency (a purpose) but being decentralized it gave the power to the mass and the mass chose to use it as a commodity. Also learned a lot about myself and how I cope with all those emotions. Learned some trading, some economy. Learned that I can make profit by going down too, not just by hoarding.
I am trying to find out now, if bitcoin will go above it's all-time high this year. We all believe that due to the limited supply of 21 million coins, price for one will be high. But can this happen soon?
in 10 years, its going to either be 1000$ a coin or 0$ it takes time to make something that is usable by the masses... bitcoin is not their yet, not even close... but its getting better all the time.
