Snoop Dogg Endorses BitCoin !

[niothor]

I wonder if he has a clue what a drone is )))

I am sure he does.  I think it was a commentary on how much the world is changing. In a couple years you just might buy his album in Bitcoins and have it delivered to your front door by a drone.

On edit: just saw your correction but will leave this for the link anyways.

You know , I said it a few days ago but here it goes once more,  mister wikipedia , you're sometimes annoyingly correct.

I wonder if its really him or a 'ghost tweeter'

This is what I'm wondering since he goes by Snoop puppy, or cat, or some shit now... Oh it's Snoop Lion

Oh, and best believe that BitPay is trying to get a piece of the action

Amazon Drone is too fucking awesome !

Amazon drone is too fucking fake at least at this time. Maybe in a few years.

Is there anything Snoop Dogg won't endorse?

We need a mainstream artist to sing a song about bitcoins. Something like "poker face" from lady gaga. Oh and we need it to be good

It doesn't need to be good.

Even more exciting might be the news about first cold-fusion reactor going on sale:

The future is getting closer every passing day.

The future isn't what it used to be!

maybe it sounds like a joke, but he has a lot of twitter followers who treat him like a god.

A bunch of Twitter followers... whose combined intelligence would not be sufficient to enable any one of them to navigate the process of buying a single bitcoin. Next.

Crazy - Snoop Dogg mentions BTC in a twitter feed but Wikipedia has been sending the same "we are monitoring Bitcoin closely" form letter response to BTC donation requests for over a year now.  What a bunch of suits.

Wait... are you seriously equating Snoop Dogg... with Wikipedia? Wikipedia is an organization that depends on donations to pay their operating costs, and is likely (and legitimately) concerned about the future value of bitcoin. Snoop Dogg... is a rapper who maybe invested a few thousand dollars into bitcoin because his homeboys told him about it while they were at the strip club. This has got to be one of the funniest threads I've read here in awhile lol.

Do not underestimate the power of the Snoop.

Seriously though, popular culture matters more than most of us would like to admit.

Drone is the new amazon delivery gig coming next  year , so he pry into btc and amzn

Its more like 5 years out, It's still in  R&D.  The FAA regulations are not even finalized yet. Probably 2016 to see those.

60 minutes did a story on it last Sunday.  http://variety.com/2013/biz/news/amazon-uses-60-minutes-to-unveil-automated-delivery-drones-1200907633/

I dabble in drones, and can say the tech to do this is EASILY here now and it's not even hard to do. I could build one that could land your pizza in your front yard or sidewalk from 20 miles away no problem. Building one that can analyse the surrounding area and not land on top the family cat is a bit harder, but still easily do-able, tho not with my primitive skills. I could build one that uses a 4G link to steam view and request confirmation to land from an operator though, thus manually avoiding chopping fluffy. If I can do that with no engineering experience, imagine what a team of skilled people could put together in no time.

Anyway, the problem is FAA regulation. They've been saying for several years they're going to introduce new regulation supporting drone use. They need to get on this, as it's the future. Hell Iceland has a dedicated drone airport. Japan uses them for ag mainstream, even places in Africa have a drone framework. We're stuck in the stone age because of a government basically says "anything we don't specifically say is legal is thus automatically illegal." (USSA anyone?) Then drags their feet to do anything at all.

Yes it does because otherwise the only people that will notice it will be us. Just imagine everyone singing something like Bi-bi-bi-bi-bi-bi-bi-bi-bi bitcoin!

Have you listened to popular songs lately? Very few of them are any good.

Yes by good i meant popular. Good is subjective anyway

I've spent several months this year in Japan and I can't say that I've seen any drones in the skies... but maybe I'm not looking in the right places. It's a cool idea, but surely there would be many accidents, no? Aside from kids and pets being chopped up by the propellers, won't they have mechanical issues or collisions midair with birds and such and occasionally fall to the ground? It probably would suck to have a 200 pound drone fall on you while mowing the lawn.
