A user here quoted a dounet image which was posted by the winks on their insta account. The plate had 4 delicious donuts ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) and the user said that the donut equals to zero and this means that zero day is on Friday. It is national Doughnut day (in the US of A) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_DayI know, the user said it have something to do with the launch of Gemini. Last friday, the day the image was posted, was national donut day, not this coming friday ... So ... a plate of donuts posted on national donut day ... hmmm ... what could tha mean? Happy National Donut Day maybe ?? Occam's Razor anyone ?? But no, it must be a code ... you add the rocket pic as a 1 and the 4 donuts and its a sign that price will be at $10,000 last friday. That must be it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) No it's just a plate of donughts.

You have to figure Gemini will launch soon right? I figure they planned for "Gemini" all along. 12 days left.

chmod755, there is a very fundamental flaw in your "middleman diagram". You include where the people got the bitcoin into the "middlemen" that hande transaction of bitcoin between the network users. You failed to include the employer, the mode of payment the employer uses (it usually involves a bank), and the impossibility of sending cash to people 2,000 miles away in 60 minute's time in the cash part of the diagram.
It fails to include P2P transactions for goods, where (if you ignore the middle men of obtaining the bitcoin, as you do with cash) it not only performs the same, but above cash, due to the reliable 60-minute waiting time (at the moment, with a $0.0001 fee) one must wait for bitcoin to "arrive" (multiple confirmations of the transaction), regardless of where in the world you are sending bitcoin to. Not to mention that you never need to worry about change.

No they are not... technically all transactions are p2p, because one people send the coins to other one. But was it what he meant?

Cutting out the middleman
You wanna cut out the middleman? Don't use Bitcoin then. Bitcoin: Bob → Bank → Bitcoin exchange → Bitcoin exchange → Bank → Alice Bank transfer: Bob → Bank → Bank → Alice Cash: Bob → Alice Bank transfer: http://gendal.me/2013/11/24/a-simple-explanation-of-how-money-moves-around-the-banking-system/
Bitcoin allows: Bitcoin: Bob → Bank → Bitcoin exchange → Bitcoin exchange → Bank → Alice or Bitcoin: Bob → Bank → Coinbase →Alice or Bitcoin: Bob → Circle → Alice or just Bitcoin: Bob → Alice And now that Alice has some Bitcoin: Alice → Anyone Bitcoin: Choose allows you to choose your middlemen. From many, to one or none. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Majority!? You named three transaction types. Bitcoin alone has several scenarios you failed to mention solely for the misrepresentation of the cryptocurrency in order to (wrongly) assert that it has many more middlemen than fiat transactions.
Bitcoin Purchasing bitcoin using fiat in exchange: Bob → Bank → Bitcoin exchange → Alice (selling is the same, backwards) Purchasing bitcoin using fiat: Bob → Alice or (more recommended) Bob → escrow → Alice Exchanging bitcoins for goods personally: Bob → Alice Exchanging bitcoins for goods at a distance: Bob → Alice or Bob → escrow → Alice
[Well, seems Elux put it better than me]

Makes lots of sense, because open a bank account is as easy as creating a bitcoin address and with same fees and you can transfer to any bank anywhere in the world with same easy
