There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Yea I saw someone posting a simillar comparaison between Bitcoin & Wester Union and I guess that the fact WU responded to it means that it is actually a big threat to them.

Interesting that they would take the time to pursue copyright claim against this.

Instead of fighting against a new technology these companies should embrace it. But hey, I can see why they don't like that image |

For those who have not seen this comparison:  Recently Western Union filed a claim with Facebook (original location of image) alleging that the image infringed its copyright. Is this a sign that WU finally sees Bitcoin as a threat? Looking at here ( https://imgur.com/r/Bitcoin/bjRILt4), it seems that there is actually a series of ads that has been created mocking WU. Who did this great job ? |

crazy that such a big company cares about that shit You mean 'shit' as in such images, or that the ad is 'shit'? Because the 2nd thing wouldn't make much sense. The AD is great. If Bitcoin was not so volatile, everyone should switch like right now. |

Is this a sign that WU finally sees Bitcoin as a threat? No. You can't copyright a picture. This is a trademark. In US law, if a company does not vigorously defend their trademarks, they lose them. That is why you will see this all the time, a huge company filing suit against some small individual for things that hardly bare any resemblance at all. They have to be able to demonstrate that they are enforcing their trademarks who they stand a chance of losing them. It has nothing at all to do with perceiving something as a threat. |

You guys forgot to put the 1-2% it costs to buy the BTC then the 1-2% to sell it! You also forgot to put the hoops you have to jump through to buy bitcoin. Much tougher then filling out a form at WU.

Just use the version with Onion instead of Union, just as effective |
