Bitcoin could very well be a test version for an up and coming currency (global one) in the future. Why Russia is the only country not accepting BTC?

Lol. This is kinda dumb to post in the main forum. You could ask for help in the marketplace forum.

It doesn't. Using BTC = buying actual stuff, not other cryptos.

lol

on a serious note tho, it is memorable when the technology of Bitcoin actually serves a good purpose and can provide resources without the shitty bureocracy:

It's not a demand NOW, in the future who knows? Thats why you register and make good sites now, before the crypto craze starts and everyone wants to get in.

Will this cause any disruptions to existing Joe users coins or transactions?

Just get some free proxy, there are lots. I use them to browse the internet at college, most websites are blocked for some reason.

I've gotten strange emails before, specially "newsletter type" emails. I've decided to ignore all emails unless im really waiting for one.

Im pretty certain we will never see double figures, and if we see double figures it will last secons. Im ready to go 50% BTC if it ever goes to double figures but so is a lot of people.

You have a lot of insider info.. with that nickname it doesnt sound very serious to me.

It doesn't matter how much people hold something if there isn't a demand for it. Demand is everything.

Are there ANY real jobs where you get pay decent incomes in BTC? all these signature campaings and faucets seem all a joke to me. A real currency needs real jobs with real salaries..

We need people to use Monero, thats the fundamental pillar of a coin' success. Why should people buy Monero? what does it do that other coins can't? Something has to solve problems to be valued or at least be seen as something cool (Justin Bieber doesn't solve shit, yet it is a money making machine). So good tech and good marketing wins. Maybe when we are knee deep in police state and everything we do is monitored, the real usefulness of Monero will be seen and it will skyrocket, because then you'll see why you want anon transactions.

When you are new, I think it told me to wait 360 seconds to post and to do about anything. I don't know when does that end but I don't suffer from that anymore. Luckly because its a pain in the ass.

Me and a lot here have been saying it nonstop: BTC will hit on the floor lower than any of the regular posters here ever wanted to recognize.. no doubt it will sky rocket again eventually (or go up in a smooth way), it will go up anyway, but there is going to be a big fucking crash and a lot of Bitcoin ritchies of the early days are going to give their Bitcoins to newcomers that are willing to invest. A much needed redistribution of coins.

This. Do you think you if had 25 BTCS you would sell at the SAME price creating a ridiculous wall? this is all manipulation.

Even knowing all the problems Bitcoin is facing and he is going to face, and even knowing it's very difficult for common folk to own Bitcoin.. he's not just being stubborn. He's losing the little credibility he has. He should just admit his mistake and admit that nothing like Bitcoin has appeared till today which would question Economy's theories.
I think some of these economists and Finance people are kind of like Butthurt because they were not the ones coming up with Bitcoin, solving some economic and finance problems.
So they are acting like "Know it all" people that dismiss Bitcoin as Nerd's money. Kind of like those who dismissed the internet, MP3, P2P, Facebook, you name it.

When merchants in eBay are actually able to use BTC to recieve payments. Then maybe people starts getting aware of what Bitcoin is and start using it, provided it has real benefits against good ol fiat.

Everyone is rambling about Paypal/eBay accepting Bitcoin for months now, while im yet to see a way to accept Bitcoin in my business which is run in Paypal. When we will be actually able to use it?

Yeah, so how does that refute his argument anyway. Poor people think they are going to get money by being nice to rich people. Poor people hate each other because they are competing to do favors for rich people. It's a sad reality we live in.
