You all are missing the point... think of how all those western union locations are licensed...

Agent/franchise model.

Still am in disbelief no one in bitcoin land has figured this out.  

Hire a guy with an MBA and a lawyer and get them to work setting it up, it isnt rocket science... dont you think 711 would offer bitcoin if they could make an extra 1% on transfers vs offering WU... you bet they would...

By the time the dumb dumbs at WU realize this is going to hurt their business they will pay mega bucks to acquire the company, just like when Time Warner bought AOL which was a ridiculous deal

I bet you can even train a monkey to take cash for bitcoins, scan qr codes and press send

Anyone noticed the phrase "Not ready"? Think we all agree about that. Now WU is on our side regarding the future of payment Smiley

just keep it small and quiet. advertize with word of mouth. we can build a network of ordinary people who just drive to meet customers. Mexicans arn't going to tattle tale on you to the cops.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

I think they just don't like a competitor with no expenses, hard to compete.
