Gift-Cards for android appstores!!!!
I have a tablet and I just want to make notes in pdfs - but I can't, cause I need a premium version, and I don't have a fucking credit card.
If someone finds a clue to make this, I would be the first consumer!

$$$ is all it needs  We need thousands of buyers that support bitcoin, they don't need to actively buy bitcoins, but they always accept bitcoin in exchange for local currency, at least at a bitstamp price I found out that currently on localbitcoins.com, there are not enough buyers, mostly sellers. If there are lots of buy order there, then bitcoin can exchange to local currency wherever you go, then you can really live on bitcoin If there are 3 guys providing cash exchange for bitcoins (small amount below $500 each time) in each major city, then it is done! |

If gas stations and supermarkets ever adopted Bitcoin, I might just convert a "monthly living expenses" portion of my paycheck directly to BTC via some sort of automated process in the future. Sure, it's volatile, but losing a month's worth of living expenses isn't a huge deal, IMHO.

Manufacturers (in any "genre" of business). I saw that one guy had gotten his manufacturer to accept bitcoin, but we need more.
How are we supposed to build an economy if the most important part of the chain still only takes fiat? We don't have anything with the manufacturers.

I think it would be nice to pay rent or buy gas in bitcoin. I mean its so much more simple than using a credit card and all you would need with you is your phone. Maybe it even gets to the point where we can pay credit card bills with bitcoin to save some time.

Either do something like a reloadable debit card, where you can fill it up with BTC, and empty it in brick & mortar stores (like gas stations) and as long as the debit card issuer is trusted, 0 confs are needed, or, just accept the 0 conf transactions (places like primedice do it anyway) for smaller transactions because reversing it isn't worth the time. |

BTC is anti middle man (and thus reduces corruption). IMO, people should start looking into a way to decentralize those parts that fucks up most of society and eliminate the human middleman from these industries: insurance, healthcare, court system, banking, government, energy industry and the weapons industry. Solve those issues and it seriously jeopardizes the power of the corrupt rich families.

Cavirtex is about to come out with a BTC debit card. Probably could solve all of the day to day payment issues with BTC. |

I've always felt that BTC should be primarily an internet currency. Buying stuff at Amazon and Ebay, paying for website hosting, games etc. Anything you need online should be a click away with BTC, no risk of identity theft and no interest.
You can buy domains with NMC but it would be nice to pay for their hosting by BTC or NMC. Not too sure how NMC .bit works.
The best business would be a paypal type that can effectively connect BTC with fiat making it easy to buy BTC with credit cards. It is sad that a internet currency cannot be bought directly on the internet the same way you buy movies and items.

Light bulbs are available at CVS, Kmart, and Lowe's via Gyft. That is not quite as convenient as paying at the POS. Yet that is encouraging. So maybe it is only the concentrated distribution of Bitcoin that is holding us back. |

It'd be quite easy, too (... well - for an existing ISP). Super-low maintenance compared to accepting cash. If there isn't payment on due date, the gateway user software simply locks the the user out. Pay monthly rate later, you're able to use the network again -- no fussing with CSRs. Would be great with a WISP, and allow a dramatically more frictionless on-demand service. As for needs, insurance is probably toward the top of the list. Insurance and an exchange serving the US which isn't always on the verge of being hacked or shut down. The cheap, easy-to-do reselling stuff is already covered. |
