There have been a lot of petitions and only very few work, if any at all. Businesses are only going to change or make a move if it's in their best interest to do so, regardless of whether a letter was written or petitions were signed.

I would say it's best to teach them the same way you teach them about money. Except for the bits about security. Kids are able to pick things up quickly anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard.

i never liked how each euro nation has its own euro, it was supposed to be a global currency for every european countries, yeah i know that it does not matter, because they are issued from one entity only
but still it can confuse tourist
and greek euro is the same as other euro, is the ECB that print it, not each state separately
Wow, I never knew this. I actually thought the Euro notes were the same across all the countries. But I guess it makes sense having different cultural icons for each country on their notes. I would assume it's possible to spend one country's Euro note in another Euro country, correct?

I use it as both a currency and an investment, to be honest.
When I get paid in bitcoin, I spend some of it on sites that accept bitcoin and save the rest, and if the fiat price goes up during the period I hold, then that's an added bonus.

Circle is a great service for purchasing bitcoin. With regards to storing bitcoin, it's best to make use of a wallet that offers multisignature (or multisig) addresses for short. This offers the most safety and security.

Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cloud Mining Service Legitimacy

Here's what I would need to see before I invest in any cloud mining service:
- Names and photos of owners and/or employees - Video proof of mining hardware (photos can be easily photoshopped) - Physical address/location of company and mining hardware publicly visible
Been burned a few times, so I tend to steer clear of any cloud mining service at this point.

The software seems fishy to me. It's best to deploy to a virtual machine and monitor what it does before you install on your primary machine. In any case, always proceed with caution.
