As a long-served photographic artist and photojournalist, I've decided it's time to start accepting bitcoins as an optional payment currency for my services.
while this post was not intended to be shameless advertising, and i've yet to redesign my site to let my clients know, I just wanted to assure, it's not only mining BTC's that keeps the network strong... we need to make sure that there are mainstream outlets to spend our bitcoins, so i'm taking this opportunity to urge folks, if you are self employed, or in upper management in the business you work.. YOU SHOULD BE ACCEPTING BITCOINS!
we can all trade and speculate on coin exchanges, but unless there is a mainstream understanding that Bitcoins are worth using, then all our efforts are in vain... we'll hit 21million and have nowhere else to go... it's only having the ability to spend them which will raise the price, at the end of the day.
my 0.01BTC.
Also... I run a small non-profit org called The Scribe, which is dedicated to helping families who have separated, remain close to their children. please donate any coinage you can at
