[ANN][NOTE]DNotes - Celebrating DNotes 3rd Birthday - Forum Now Open

[DNotes]

Found a pretty interesting article that grabbed my attention when looking for news for the DC recap.  "Smart Business Owners Embrace Bitcoin" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jamil-bouchareb/smart-business-owners-emb_b_8535524.html

"Bitcoin is the answer we've been waiting for to our monetary problems, especially internationally. When purchasing, selling, or transferring money between countries, big fees always stand in the way. We're forced to stalk exchange rates to hopefully get the best deal. Hell, even when we keeping our money within the country, big banks always find a way to slap us with fees. They need to make money too, right?

That's where the beauty of Bitcoin shines. People aren't at the center of this ingenious structure; instead, a powerful network of computers and complicated algorithms run the entire system. Thus, there is no entity, like a bank or government, running the system. Bitcoin is run completely by its users. This will help us take back our control over the money we work hard for. We will be able to use our funds to our best capabilities, without paying the middleman."

Thought about this the other day, how many times do products are exchanged for money before a product reaches the consumer, and how much of that final price is the result of transaction fees. The impact on the price of products is probably fairly significant. From material harvesting, to manufacturing and the potential chain of manufacturing and transportation, to all the middle men along the way, and finally to consumer sales.

"Many see Bitcoin's main downfall as its unpredictability, especially in its value converted to U.S. dollars. At the moment, it stands just over $350 for one Bitcoin, but it has fluctuated from $7 to over $1,000. Bitcoin is a risk, I won't deny that -- but, as an entrepreneur, I'm used to taking risks. I have to, just like every other investor. And once Bitcoin stabilizes, the rewards will be worth the ride."

This is one of the biggest issues we see as well, minimizing unreliability will be an important part of strategy.

"Many see Bitcoin's main downfall as its unpredictability, especially in its value converted to U.S. dollars. At the moment, it stands just over $350 for one Bitcoin, but it has fluctuated from $7 to over $1,000.”

One: ‘especially in its value converted to U.S. dollars.’? So . . . Bitcoin’s price is stabler against Euros or Plutonian shekels?

Two: ‘fluctuated from $7 to over $1,000’ Ummm . . . no. It has fluctuated between about $188 and over $1000. It has appreciated from $7.

Woo hoo! Buy-sell split on Cryptopia in line with Poloniex!

We need a lot more testimony like this one.

"Bitcoin is the new worldwide currency. … Bitcoin is the answer we've been waiting for to our monetary problems, especially internationally.….. We will be able to use our funds to our best capabilities, without paying the middleman. …The elimination of hefty fees alone is enough for businesses to want to get involved with Bitcoin. Less transaction fees and more availability for customers around the world only opens up windows for your business that other competitors may not have even thought about.”

And best of all he is using it as a merchant. “Restaurantware, accepts Bitcoin through PayPal, an easy and painless process for our Bitcoin-using customers and us. As entrepreneurs, staying on top of the latest technology and developments is vital for success -- and Bitcoin is the hottest trend right now. Adopting Bitcoin in your business is by far the smartest decision you can make today."

Coinbase may not be available in your area to obtain bitcoin. It would be interesting to let us know how your experience goes though. You may want to check into the credibility of this site for obtaining bitcoin:

I would have enjoyed some coverage on Democratic primary debate on CBS last night. I don't believe that I could beat Bernie Sanders' entertainment value. He might be thinking that Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase should not keep more that 10% of his earning for wishing Bitcoin not to survive.

"I'm Not Much Of A Socialist Compared To Eisenhower" “We have not come up with an exact number, but it will not be as high as the number under Dwight Eisenhower which was 90 percent,” Bernie Sanders said during the Democratic primary debate on CBS.

Hahaha. Some coverage of that debate might have been interesting, but it would also require brushing up on the skills I allowed to atrophy since my days as a cub reporter covering the circus. And believe me, trying to get a meaningful quote from Hector the Happy Clown was never an exercise in joyful living.

You're right about Sanders, though I find him pretty much indistinguishable from his peers on that stage. Heck, they could tax the "rich" at 100% of their income and still not manage to pay from all the "freebies" they're offering this cycle. For sheer entertainment value, however, they're funnier than most episodes of SNL.

On the bright side, however, they share much in common with my children - both of whom also believe that most problems can be solved simply by spending more of my money.

Same here. I come here for the latest discussion and, the recaps. When you only have a limited time each day for news and updates, it works well. I won't always be this busy but, our agency has a new Director and we have been scrambling for the last month to implement new policies and procedures on all levels throughout. A real nightmare but, the end is in site!  PS: YES to all the questions posed.

As my schedule got increasingly busy, DCEBrief has been one of my importance sources of industry news. Hope you are finding DCEBrief as resourceful too.

In case You Missed Them…

Since we hate the thought of anyone missing out on thoughtful commentaries, a couple of recent articles from contributor Nick Marinoff deserve a mention. Earlier this week, he offered his thoughts on the importance of getting more women involved in the digital currency revolution in Why Women Must Become More Involved in Cryptocurrency. Later in the week, he advocated for introducing children to cryptocurrency at an early age in Children and Cryptocurrency: Why They Need to Learn Now. If you missed them the first time, be sure to give them a read.

Thanks all! That is what I needed to know and sounds like we are on the right track.

[DNotes]

Another area of interest that I have been thinking about is an ecommerce site that will be useful for DNotes and upcoming company. We have some ideas to make it attractive for using DNotes, but we also need to consider making it easier to use, less burdensome, and high traffic. If you have any ideas regarding:
Where can we start that will be easily scaleable into a full blown ecommerce site?
What can we do to make it easy for merchants to participate?
How can we make it more attractive to merchants over using eBay/Amazon?
If you prefer to email your ideas, rather than make them public you can shoot me an email as well.
