 Shocked

Wasted too much time and money on a transfer today. I blame the company that is being a pain in the butt to deal with which is not bitcoin. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of time and money dealing with something today and having a virtual currency for me that may or may not be legal in some areas is too risky for me.

I've met some great people on here. I wish you luck.

I'd hate to see your reaction to life's other little inconveniences. What do you do when there's traffic? Give up on your car?
Long line at the supermarket - well, better just push that cart to the side and forget shopping...

Just seems the pretext to be done is a little... slight.

Sorry to hear you are leaving.

Just to clear things up the legality of Bitcoin is pretty clear, its legal. As long as you pay all your taxes to the government that spies on you, you are fine. What those taxes are varies between states/countries, nobody really has definitive answers either.

About the money transfers, these can be annoying alright. I would suggest other people facing this issue try using something like localbitcoins.com to find a person near you that you can meet whenever you want to buy/sell BTC.

in this sense they can ban Bitcoin much the same way they ban guns without explicitly banning them.

Simply make it sufficiently difficult to obtain and utilize them to the point where alternatives are more attractive reducing the number of owners to ZERO, thus rendering political support to NONE.

Make sure you own atleast 1bitcoin going into the next downswing. Place it onto a USB drive, unencrypted. If the value of bitcoin skyrockets, you will need to encrypt it among many other issue we all will be dealing. such as trying to determine just what exactly 1 bitcoin will buy.

Sounds like you had reservations about BTC to begin with but realizing that buying some wasnt as easy as swiping your credit card at Walmart was the final straw.

Im sure you will regret this decision one day so I recommend reconsidering it. Do some research and have patience. Early adoption isnt easy.

Are you in the US?  It shouldn't cost you more than a quarter to transfer money to a bitcoin exchange.

PM me if you have any questions.

Coinbase for selling BTCs
Fold for spending BTCs
PM me with any questions on these sites/apps!  http://www.montybitcoin.com


or Vircurex for trading alt cryptocurrencies like DOGEs
CoinNinja for exploring the blockchain.

the problem wasn't with bitcoin. the problem was with MP. Please, you'd hate to see how I deal with traffic? Are you kidding me? You don't know how much time I wasted over the telephone with MP and their people who barely even speak English. If you don't have any idea what I went through today then you really have absolutely no clue whatsoever.

My friend uses bitcoin. She loves it. I have used it with namecheap and tried to talk my hosting company to use it. But the whole fiasco of MP and their terrible customer service was beyond crazy. The person I dealt with using bitcoin has been wonderful in trying to help.

What I spend money on, I need USD.

This is the very point that is missed by most bitcoiners.  All they see is, "You can't regulate or shutdown the block chain!!"  But what they fail to see is, you don't have to.  If no one is willing to use it, it dies on it's own.  Why attack Bitcoin's strength, when you can attack its many weaknesses?

Because you would end up playing a global version of whack-a-mole. It wouldn't work. Going after it in such a way will only draw attention, legitimize the idea, and create resistance. Especially from anyone who has issues with the US.

Bottom line. This is new technology that works cheaper, faster, and more securely. That is the intrinsic value. You just cannot roll back profitable technological evolution. This is the early stages, user friendly service is still being refined, but the technology isn't going anywhere.

Speak of the devil.  This is mostly delusional thinking, with the exception that the technology isn't going anywhere.  Crypto is here to stay, just not sure it will be Bitcoin.  And it's exactly due to this blinded, ideological thinking that ignores reality, that will cause it's demise.  If you guys really love Bitcoin, you better wake up.  Just blindly believing it's going to take over the world because you like it, doesn't make it so.  Case in point....this thread.
