Meanwhile my German bank just e-mailed me saying for "security reasons" they cannot let me transfer any funds out of the country from my bank account. That I have to come in personally to un-block my account. I live in French Polynesia and have no plans whatsoever of ever returning to Germany.

You could transfer your fiat to Fidor Bank (a German bank used by Kraken for deposits).

Check it out on Kraken's site.

JESUS, it is NOT my referral code.

EDIT: referral code starts with "a=". I don't know what "h=" stands for.

 No, it's xhomerx10 and that was a joke.  None of those are referral codes either.

So the part where they're talking about the starbucks rewards, do they mean converting btc to rewards and vice versa? It's only a matter of time before that becomes ubiquitous. The really awesome part will be when all rewards across different industries are transferable. Trade my airline miles for gas card rewards or just convert them into crypto.

'As the flagship retailer, Starbucks will play a pivotal role in developing practical, trusted and regulated applications for consumers to convert their digital assets into US dollars for use at Starbucks'

I still don't think anyone out there will have the slightest interest in using crypto for this type of thing. It goes against human nature. Handy if every Starbucks became an exchange though.

“Our system would operate on a layer above the blockchain, and we’d keep our own omnibus ledger apart from the blockchain,” explains Loeffler. The Bakkt design isn’t revolutionary. It closely resembles a technology called “the lightning network” that’s already in use. In the lightning network, the same two participants, say an appliance-maker and a parts supplier, engage in multiple Bitcoin transactions. As long as the parties are using a fixed number of Bitcoins to buy, sell from one another, and store for that purpose, the transactions aren’t reported to the blockchain, and zap back and forth within the same ecosystem.

Once Wall Street gets the flywheel whirring, Bitcoin would gain the liquidity to become a bona fide currency. Sprecher and Loeffler predict that multinationals would then adopt Bitcoin for international payments. “The banks control international payments, and the system is very expensive,” notes Sprecher.

”Bitcoin would greatly simplify the movement of global money,” says Sprecher. “It has the potential to become the first worldwide currency.”

Man, the financial system is so ridiculous. I just got off the phone with a new currency exchange company I've been trying to use (paylinebyice)
Not only will they not send funds to bitcoin related companies but they wont do Russian RUB transfers also. Guess what, those are the only transfers I make regularly. Such BS! I wouldn't be so pissed if they had just told me NO but they strung me along for over a week gathering ever more details about the recipient just to call later and say sorry.
You'd think I'm making this shit up but no.  I'm really starting to see how permissioned fiat currencies are.  Why do I have problems with every-single-wire-transfer-ALWAYS?  I'm so ready to watch this system slip into obsolescence. BITCOIN...SIC BALLS!!!
Rant over now I gotta go in person to the bank to try another approach.

If anyone knows of a working online Canadian payment processor, please let me know.
