first off I'd just like to express my gratitude to all the people who believe in bitcoin.
I look at this forum everyday to find out how bitcoin continues to grow. and i must say i am truly impressed. It seems almost everyday someone announces a new step forward for bitcoin. the new Canadian exchange, bit-pay, the many retail sites that accept bitcoin. it is truly amazing what you all have accomplished.
We all fell in love with bitcoin for its potential to give us more freedom, and to take away power from where it does not belong. We have set our self's a lofty goal. But i have No doubt we will achieve it and even surpass it.
this is my way of helping.
Keep up the godly work!

I think your are totally underestimating the new generation. When i was 14 i was on the top of the ladder on Diablo2 and i was selling my items on ebay. my gril friend has 0 geek blood in her and she has a nice little farm on farmville she can even log into her online bank. she thinks bitcoin is stupid. but that's probably because iv been talking to her about bitcoin to much i'm from Canada and i don't know anyone that can't understand simply things like hitting a send button and pasting in an address |

They can't bet us, and so they will join us.  Banks will give us a hell of a fight, that much is to be expected....everyone hopes Bitcoin is the beginning of the end for the banks. but what can they really do? i expect a totally unexpected turn of events for bitcoin. |

When Mt gox was on The bitcoin show they briefly described the ultimate solution to this very problem. Simply put "Decentralized Exchange" working on the same principle as bitcoin. this solution would eliminate the need to trust an organization. i hope mt gox will be able to achieve such a trading system.

I think if a bitcoin commercial were to come out now now.
the price of bitcoin would rise a few dollars due to more demand.
but we all know we only get one change to make a first impression, if we get a few thousand poeple all excited about bitcoin, and then disappoint them that would hurt bitcoin.
maybe the idea for marketing right now, should be getting major retailers on board.
retailers who accept VISA have to pay 1% fee or maybe more idk.
with bitcoin their is no fee, (well wait a minute all every exchange has a 1% fee on withdraw)
maybe they should offer a better deal for retailers?
we should make it so retailers CAN'T say no

Wow. You new people in the forum have become such cynics.... That's sad. Anyway... My vision of what the commercial would NOT be about:- bitcoin as an investment / it would not mention that at all / not at all
- political or philosophical benefits of bitcoin / again, no mention at all
My vision of what the commercial WOULD be about:- easy to use
- no transaction fees
- transactions that can't bounce or incur chargebacks
- no need for bank approval
- you can start using bitcoin within seconds with no technical skills necessary
- the world's first decentralized currency
- the world's first currency with a limited supply, yet extremely divisible
On the topic of Facebook, I am working on a simple, yet brilliant  project there too.... I'll post about that soon. do you have a time frame for us? I'm sure everyone will want to know a few weeks in advance before it airs I for one will want to buy a few more bitcoins right before |

Canada already has a GREAT secure, working, cheap (you can withdraw cash to almost any bank with your email address in just 7 hours for $6.50, or $3 directly to a bank account).
They just re-opened their doors today after finalizing all the legal stuff there was to take care of.
I just deposited a bunch a few BTC and everything is going great.
I do still encourage XRcode to build his own exchange however. We can always use another!

Thats enough for me lol
I think I will open an exchange for Canadian dollars.
I will look into what kind of accounts will be necessary to facilitate deposit/withdrawl in Canada and maybe make an exchange site.
fuck ya I'll be on that for sure |

Imo the less the better (keeps the orderbooks more liquid), whenever i withdraw from Mtgox it does an automatic USD>EUR>NOK and i don't see a problem with that.
i don't understand... are you saying Mtgox can send me CAD$ when i cash out? |

This is a big step for bitcoin, i hope its works out
I would like to sell some used dvd movies for 0.10 BTC + shipping and handling (from Canada)
should i provide you with a list of movies for you to post up pre-launch

no worries this happens every weekend. Everyone selling to buy fireworks and booze for monday  ? i think he means everyone is selling so they can afford to have a .... bitcoin minning LAN party with fireworks and booze??? lol i dont know |

its on the rise again! LOL i love the bitcoins
|

I'll be here long after the fair-weather-friends are gone. How about you? I'm in it for the long term i bought a few BTC back in the old days when paypal was bitcoin's pal so it wasn't a big investment. but its fun to see the market go up rather then down |

Right now we can only trade with USD
Lets put some pressure on trade hill / mt gox to accept our equally shitty currencies for Bitcoins
|
|
|
|
|
Nice.
lets have trade hill support CAD too!
if trade hill accepts many different currencies, this will help bitcoin grow, and will allow businesses from outside of the US to accept bitcoin
keep up the good work guys
|

Also if the exchanges could be made to trade using all other currencies, like CAD$
this would would make it easy for business to accept bit coin and be able to cash out with out the 20% bank USD$ to CAD$ fee
