all this talk about whats legal and what isn't, who cares. Law, from the perspective of the morally concerned individual, is at best completely frivolous. One should do what is right even if it is illegal and should refrain from doing what is wrong even if it is legal.
well-said, man. I agree. |

Im sorry but from a bitcoin client and business overview, i wouldn't want to pay bitcoins for travel... Most people who have bitcoins have a vehicle or have access to a vehicle.
The average person using bitcoin doesn't use a taxi.
This is such an odd, ignorant, insular post. It has an almost childlike naivety. I'm not sure where you are from. but in the vast majority of the world, people don't call a taxi because they don't own a car. Also, people who live in huge cities tend not to have vehicles. Are you saying that no one who lives in Central London, Manhattan, or Tokyo uses Bitcoin? I'm guessing that you haven't travelled much, or even learned much about the outside world. Perhaps you are a young child. |

However someone did mention, a secure bitcoin " ATM " would be better.
I'm sorry, but you need to travel and go out to see the world. |

Or even just another city. Do you have any idea of the shipping costs for a car? To say nothing of what those idiot baggage handlers would do to it...  |

Perhaps you are a young child. Having my opinion, is that against the rules in this thread is it? The majority of people who have bitcoin don't want to spend it on transport, they want to spend it on other bitcoin like services... Anyway its a waste of my time replying, someone who assumes im a child is really - not informed very well. Most people who have bitcoins dont want to be spending it on a taxi anyway, just being realistic! Sorry! |

I never said at all, that taxi's are not popular - all i had an opinion on is, the fact that people with bitcoin are more likely going to buy something common in bitcoin market, rather than pay for transportation of which normal currency, or local currency is usaully used. FWIW, you're right, a bitcoiner is much more likely to buy something online than to pay for a taxi with their bitcoins... but the more real-world businesses there are that accept bitcoin, the better, in my opinion. A bitcoin-only taxi would rapidly go out of business, though. |

Personally I would not mind spending bitcoins on a taxi fare. |

Personally I would not mind spending bitcoins on a taxi fare. I don't mind spending bitcoins to buy stuff (as a consumer). I just rebuy them on the market. |
