I still can't wrap my head around the effect of large retailers coming on board (Amazon, Walmart etc)... are the buyers really going to outpace the quick dumps?

166  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-02-12] CD: Bitcoin Transactions Will Double By 2017, Research Finds on: February 13, 2015, 01:08:41 AM
Using trends are only part of the projection... the bigger ticket is the "exponential factor"... an upward trend draws a lot of attention (ie. rapid rise to $1200)... it would be easy to say that this would be just another bubble, however several more new adopters will lead to sustainable growth... it's getting close to the tipping point... in the meantime the priority has to be building consumer confidence with credible fraud prevention.

168  Bitcoin / Press / 2015-02-11 Techcrunch.com - Bitcoin Blazes New Trail In Emerging Markets on: February 12, 2015, 04:04:22 AM
While the tech world is busy speculating about bitcoin’s volatile value, cryptocurrency is making arguably its biggest impact in countries where the current price of 1 bitcoin exceeds the average salary earned in a week.

Kenya, Uruguay and Panama are just a few of the countries playing host to a growing group of venture-backed bitcoin companies that are using blockchain technology to tackle regional payments challenges.

The time has come to CYA in regards to the image of the technology.... potential investors are watching closely... with every new scam or trusted exchange taking the "low road" it's just another hit to bitcoins long term viability.
IMO, the 1st priority has to be security and awareness.... it's amazing how many tech savvy folks still fall for upstart companies lacking any proven credibility... Don't just jump in without fully researching the players.
We need to spend more time educating current and potential adopters on the pitfalls and best practices.
Maybe start with a sticky thread on "Protecting your coins" where all items of security and risks can be displayed... including the "scam companies" list.
This current high risk trend can not be allowed to spoil what could be an extremely important financial revolution.
Report, Train & Execute as a united community!

The bigger story is that it's confirmed that IBM is now endorsing BTC
175  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: What Can You Say About The Revisions of Bitlicense? on: February 07, 2015, 05:49:35 AM
I can understand the need to protect consumers but the drum beat of corruption & theft is consistently over the top... almost everyday we see a major banks, big box retail stores, CC companies or insurance companies getting hacked and putting thousands/millions of clients at risk.... what needs to be clearly spelled out to regulators is that this technology has a far superior security infrastructure... WE as bitcoin champions are not getting across and bring to the forefront the security benefits of the blockchain vs failing centralized systems....  Let the comparisons be heard loud and clear!!!

177  Bitcoin / Press / 2015-02-03 NASDAQ - Bitcoin Price Chart Shows What's Blocking Faster Adoption on: February 04, 2015, 04:40:50 AM
For Bitcoin to gain mainstream adoption, this price volatility needs to be reduced. Bitcoin's tendency to lose 20% to 40% of its value in a matter of days, or even hours, discourages its use for daily transactions.

It's also why most of the merchants that accept Bitcoin immediately convert what they receive into a fiat currency like the U.S. dollar. Fiat money certainly has its issues, but major currencies like the dollar and euro are relatively stable compared to Bitcoin.

Simply typing Bitcoin in google would show a bunch of news articles surrounding btc...

Yeah but OP has a point. We want to reach people who are not interested enough to google for Bitcoin. We need it in front of them, not that they have to search for it.
Agree it should be a push not a pull to grow incentive for more research.... although wsj has had plenty of positive mentions lately.
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Fud Busters on: February 02, 2015, 04:50:52 AM
It's not unusual to have negative threads pop up... but this has elevated to new heights.
We all know the old pump n dump methods... which normally happen after price gain so they can load up for the next purchase... however this is becoming more consistent regardless of price.
I'm starting to believe a lot these fudsters are sponsored by banks & other govt interest.
If folks are down on btc why even bother coming here?... why not just go on to your next investment?... do they actually think the masses are going to jump ship based on their anti-bitcoin rhetoric?
My scientific wild ass guess says that 90% of these doom & gloomers have ulterior motives and should be ignored... in otherwords don't feed the trolls.
180  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm a sceptic, convince me! on: February 02, 2015, 03:51:53 AM
No need to convince you... this train is rolling with or without skeptics... fortunately enough folks have done the research to see the opportunities... slow adapters will simply kick their own ass.
