black people use a lot of drugs.  therefore they will not divulge their illegal activities associated with said bitcoin.

Just as ignorant as one can be, I'm glad this comment got no play. But I'll entertain nonetheless... I know you're just trolling, but I can't help it.

Allow me to deduce who you are; sloppy looking nerd that would nut in his pants if a girl whispered in his ear. Did I generalize correctly?

I know several black people involved in the bitcoin world, to include myself. All highly educated professionals who made our first mil before 30 without the aid of bitcoin. We're not fabulously rich and definitely not famous, but we're out here in the real world.

This issue has really nothing to do about the color of skin. I posed a link, but you looked over it. The understanding of the "digital divide" will put this issue in the context you can swallow. Fact of the matter is that poor people do not have the physical or psychological access to most things computer. I know a person who claimed to me that their $600 phone was "better than a computer" -talk about ignorance. No understanding of functionality or concept of what "computering" really can be. So, round about what I am telling you is that these people that have too low amounts of capital, or functioning mental capacity as related to computing.

I believe that rich people and our parents generation not getting it is a separate issue, but similar... Perhaps inverted? More or less they are luddites. Which is in essence, a defense response in the information age.

Like i said: Once smart phones can transfer funds in a person to person interaction, then we will see more people using cryptocoins.

Not to be racist, but I don't know a single black person that owns a bitcoin or is in the bitcoin world.  Anyone?

Snoop Dogg was black last time I checked.

Does Snoop own Bitcoins or is he in the Bitcoin world?

Pretty sure he wasn't being serious. He also said his album will be delivered by drones.

He confuses me. He is "Snoop Lion" now according to my son ..... obviously pays a lot for PR to be #trending

Yeah, any celeb who mentions Bitcoin is automatically gonna get a shitload of free publicity. Think he was just Snoop Lion for that crappy reggae album he did last year. There's a vice documentary on it if you're interested.

I actually watched that documentary with my son a couple of months back. Learning about Bob Marley was more interesting that Snoop piggybacking on Bob Marley ..... but there is a fantastic documentary I saw about Bob Marley a year or so back. Forget the title, but very interesting. Turns out his dad was some English dude on horseback who was a manager at a tea plantation in Jamaica, and disappeared after making Bob's mum pregnant. Had no idea Bob (Robert) was half English. But to me, one of the first "citizens of the world". He made fortunes but gave most of it away in his lifetime. And never left a will, he said "I want people to reveal their true spirit" ... referring to which of his family members would show their greed fighting over his legacy.

Sorry to rant. Personal hero of mine

The "Marley" documentary? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marley_%28film%29

[empoweoqwj]

That's the one. Well worth a watch.

Also it is very simple to test the theory about black people not being interested in bitcoins..

go to harlem or south central LA and walk through the neighbourhood wearing a nice new pair of sneakers AND an old teeshirt and write on it in big bold words "I have 100 BTC and the key is on this T-shirt"

now you get jacked and they take your sneakers but leave the T-shirt then those black people are NOT into bitcoins.
if they take your sneakers and your T-shirt then those people are into bitcoins.

and to prove that I am not being racist you can try this experiment in poor white neighbourhood and see how you go.

I'm willing to bet that in both cases you will walk out with no sneakers and no T-shirt.

give it a try and let me know how it goes...
