although i personally hate the guy.. i think about all sides of the story and i prefer to read it like this
employee is paid in only bitcoin, is able to pay for house in only bitcoin, get his grocery's and fastfood in only bitcoin.
although i glossed over the inner workings of his employment. it is a milestone event that somone can successfully have a pure bitcoin life, well not quite 'pure' but you get the idea.
anyone else with bitcoin life stories that have no hidden employment stories that will taint any positive news about bitcoins usability?
What a pleasant fantasy!
I think a more realistic viewpoint is that BFL and it's executives are clearly guilty of "fraud in the inducement", and are now using the proceeds of said fraud for personal enrichment.
I am fan #1 of honest, successful businessmen. This is not an example of such persons, however.
trust me i am on the same side as you. but BFL has been bashed to death. so instead of spinning a story about life on bitcoins into another BFL bash event. lets get creative and explain to the world the positives of bitcoin. that people can live on it. hense why i asked if there was any less deceiptful people that had a similar story of buying bitcoin houses (with legitimate earnings ofcourse)
much like i have in the past (although i detest drug dealers and hackers) have positively spun the propaganda of hackers and silk road to say
"if a hacker cant break bitcoin, thus trusting it enough to hold their own wealth.. then shouldnt everyone trust it too"
"if governments cant track individuals though drug payments.. then your wife wont track your hooker/porn payments."
