I don't want to reveal my meatspace identity for the probable chance that what I'm doing is illegal in most firstrealm jurisdictions. It doesn't mean that what I'm doing is wrong or bad, but simply banned by those in power.
It's a form of armour, where so often in life we are exposed and naked to the eyes of the state and organisations because of what they know about us. When what I'm doing is the latest target boogieman it's good that my physical identity isn't easily known.
Also no one needs to know my real identity to know whether I'm trustworthy or not, I'm not concerned with looking legit, because the fact is I'm not. But I get shit people want done so that's really all that I think matters.

We need to find more ways to encourage people to use bitcoins as money that they trade for goods and services. If everyone just tries to trade their BTC for USD right away, the price will go down. Go use your bitcoins to buy something other than USD! I will gladly accept bitcoins for everything in my online store. www.memorydealers.comThis is already being done, just most are for I.T. services, in which bitcoin is really the easiest method to pay with. Servers, hosting, programming, design etc. As it becomes harder to mine, and less profitable to outright buy, I think we will see a lot more services accepting btc appear over the next few months. BTC is also a really good currency to use to sell random odds and ends over the Internet, because of the way it favors the seller. These next few months will determine where we go from here. Bitcoin now unquestionably has value, it's now a matter of building the economy to support it. Many opportunities to make money here, few established sites take btc currently and even if the thing you want to do already exists it's likely not so entrenched that you can't do better and take over. We just need enough people to stop seeing bitcoin as something that will make them rich fast and start seeing it for what it is - a fledgling anonymous, borderless, and lawless economy. We're still in the gold rush days. The hills just look different now. +1, we are on the cusp of something truely great. A society that is....free for better or worse it's just going to be plain free. |

Where did you dissapear to?
Had to deal with going abroad for work with little to no internet connection, and no family for a bunch of months. Can't say I aren't happy about having family and bitcoin community back  Big big kudos to what you've done with the GLBSE ! Much thanks, I understand what it's like without family or internet for a long time. You must have had the shakes without your daily dose (of net that is). |

please update the website when you do this (or even better make it automatic) cause it still claims the market is up. i shouldnt have to go digging on this forum to figure out why i cant connect  Actually it automatically does this, but doesn't seem to be working for some reason. I'll check that, thanks for the head up. |
