This seems like very good news to me. It’s a way around for the savvy and technological inclined to protect themselves against unjust measures.

yeah i also though that, so their government not support that type of business because in bitcoin theres no taxes, but if they not support that business why they let that company build an atm if they know that more people will used bitcoin than their fiat money?
Thats a hard question for me to be answered, and actually I dont know what the government plans behind this. But I think those governments who legalizing it dont consider bitcoin as a threat, or maybe they have known that its useless to ban it, since people would still using it. I think bitcoin will become global alternative currency for buying and selling items online but I don't think it will replace any existing currency

For sure. Not only local bitcoins demonstrate this but to many other signs like more articles in the newspapers, more newspapers dedicated to the bitcoin and its technology, more startup born and new one which born every day, much development of businesses which are connected with bitcoin etc.

Is there any evidence of penetration beyond the black market? The global black market capital flow has been estimated around $20 trillion and growing at faster rate with the widespread trend towards financial facism (cash limits, bank account monitoring, capital controls, financial data mining, etc). In my research I discovered, and this is not a secret, that bitcoin already has a big demand, and spending, its just that not that maninstream yet. ◘The biggest economic industry in bitcoin is the gambling one no doubt, all these casinos popping up and dice sites, they probably hold most of the bitcoin cashflow. (Seeing satoshidice or primedice transactions of 500 BTC moving around all day) ◘Then there is speculation/investment/trading, which is smaller than gambling, but its close to it. ◘Next to gambling there are all sorts of digital goods mostly: gift cards, online goods, account access, whatever. ◘Then there are local spendings: coffe, pizza place, some beauty salons, gyms, restaurants, and even some smaller stores. ◘And then last but not least there are the service sectors: online subscriptions/memberships, escrow, financial services, get-paid-to, porn, etc.

You just won't be able to see the bitcoins at these exchanges moving (changing hands) 99% of time...

Yea but thats inhouse transaction, its not on the blockchain. I guess my list wasnt in descending order, but just as an estimate so that people can see which industries are bitcoin used for.

But you said it unequivocally that "the biggest economic industry in bitcoin is the gambling one no doubt". And you set gambling apart from "speculation/investment/trading" at that (just in case you you're gonna say that trading is essentially gambling)... I guess you're wrong (by a good margin)

I think you are talking about the Greece government and I don't think so they have banned bitcoins, and last I heard they were the country which were receiving ATM machines which could cash out bitcoins. Greece has not banned anything, rather paypal has banned Greece. This took place when Greece was going through the bailout phase and the 60 euro bank withdrawal rule took place.

It's hardly a global currency when hardly any place around the world accepts it. We've got a long way to go before it achieves this title but it certainly has the potential but it's not going to happen over night. And USD isn't a global currency either. Sure, there are many countries that accept it or even have it as their defacto currency but I can't buy anything in my country or most places in Europe with it. In fact, I've probably got more chance of being able to spend my bitcoins over dollars.

USD is considered a global currency, because every central bank in the world keeps some reserves of it and usually import/export is being made with USD.

Until I can go on holiday and spend coins its not a global currency, though it sure can achieve that within our lifetimes.

This, the US dollar is a global currency due to its reserve currency status, also for the fact that oil is traded in dollars and finally because you can go to some countries and pay with it. But this doesn’t mean that is accepted everywhere; in my country you can see signs in the supermarket that states very clearly that dollars are not accepted, only local currency.

No I'm not talking about Greece government, but to all governments in the world who legalizing bitcoin. Greece cant ban bitcoin, because it would make people dont trust government completely. if they not banned anything? and they not bitcoin ? how the banks owner can not complain bitcoin as a threat to their business? because if there a thousands of atm machines in their country, people will now use bitcoin and theres no will save or use the banks anymore.
People dont have any reason to save their money in bank nowadays after the crisis, which atm bank ruled them to limit their withdrawal for just 60 euros.

yes, the currency used for buying petroleum is called petrodollar which ensures trade taking place as it is essential and as dollar is used in trade almost everytime such a transaction takes place, its value is increased making it more secure for people. Along with that, other markets and countries also have a role to play which result in US becoming the most widely used currency, making it in a way, the global currency.

If I'm not mistaken, Iran under sanctions had been selling oil to China for euros. In their hatred for America, they went so far as to have set up a bourse on the island of Kish in the Persian Gulf. The bourse had been intended to operate in various currencies other than the US dollar (primarily the euro and Iranian rial)... Don't know what's become of this enterprise, though
