No, you see, it needs a definition because they've expanded the meaning of those words to include things like "Articles that admit Bitcoin isn't perfect," "Mt. Gox's price not being high," and "Actual Economics."

I've only had an Android wallet and changed my address when that one flaw was found. I dunno what's going on. [–]reed07 1 point 5 minutes ago You should not keep a wallet on an android device--it is terribly unsecure. Instead, try an online wallet with an android app such as blockchain.info. Even then, it would be better to keep BTC in cold storage/Paper wallet form.

All it takes (self.Bitcoin) submitted 22 minutes ago by trowawayatwork One major company to adopt or even just part adopt a bitcoin payment platform. Think about it at the very worst they will make gains in the short term just by acquiring bitcoins and seeing the value soar as circulation increases. In terms of costing money I am sure major companies have parties that cost more so even if it does got to pot its just a drop in the ocean in their diversification strategies. My question what is stopping them? Are they waiting for the 1.0 protocol? why no fund the foundation to help the research along? is it really all to do with trying not to get on the wrong side of backers of fiat currency?* *E.g. if Amazon decided to accept bitcoin (I read that alone would put the price up to around 5000$) could visa etc literally cut their services to them essentially shutting down Amazon? [–]Sir__Knee_Grow 0 points 19 minutes ago Tbh if Amazon started accepting BTC it value would be 5000$ at least and the butthurt from VISA/PayPal would be huge, so huge that there could only be 2 outcomes : 1. Start accepting BTC 2. Go 404 [–]trowawayatwork[S] 1 point 4 minutes ago i have never heard of overstock or tigerdirect, not big enough companies

it's still uncomprehensible to me why they go "amazon should do this it would be awesome and not too expensive for them!" and not have any idea why amazon would do this plus there's reasons why not (it wouldn't support the volume, it might not be legal) but that's just FUD

Can a Wearable Bitcoin Wallet Bring Cryptocurrency Into Meatspace? (bitcoinmagazine.com) submitted 14 seconds ago by vkaminas Paying in Bitcoin already offers tons of advantages over credit cards. It’s by-default more secure, and on the internet at least, faster and easier. However, paying with bitcoin IRL has until now been pretty clunky, generally involving scanning multiple QR codes, signing and approving. All that may change, however, with the introduction of technology aimed at simplifying paying with Bitcoin at the point of sale. BIPS has made this possible by using the Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch.

okay, so, get this, i had an idea i think it'll really jumpstart the widespread adoption of bitcoin what if you had, like, some sort of "wearable" "wallet" that you could store your bitcoins in nothing like this has ever been done with fiat money, so i think people will finally start to see the benefits of bitcoin

[–]bitalias 3 points 1 hour ago There's only 0.1 - 0.5% of bitcoins for sale at any one time. Because of this it really wouldn't take an insane amount of money to push the price that high. People seem to confuse market caps with the actual amount of cash poured in. It'll always be a fraction of that. [–]AnalWithAGoat 8 points 2 hours ago We could easily achieve 50k by using Bitcoin as a store of wealth. No need for 100% of transactions or anything crazy like that. [–]i_can_get_you_a_toe 2 points 35 minutes ago Yeah, but that's blasphemy on this subreddit. Store of wealth and getting rich is beneath the high priests of /r/bitcoin, you can only talk about transactions. [–]king-six 1 point 5 minutes ago Right, I noticed that lately too: everyone is all about 'banking the unbanked', remittances for the poor etc. but gawd forbid ever mention it's incredible speculative potential. It's like talking about getting rich on bitcoin should be 'beneath' this community? Like it or not, the positive feedback loop of adoption and price is part of bitcoin's ingenious design and one of it's selling points. guys good currencies are the ones no one use right?

This chart explains it. More info here.  http://themisescircle.org/blog/2014/02/12/im-hoarding-bitcoins-and-no-you-cant-have-any/ [–]ztsmart 3 points 1 hour ago This is correct. Here's an EIL5: Hording causes increased demand. Increase demand causes pool of value. There is more incentive for merchants to tap into a larger value pools than small ones. Few merchants wanted a slice of the Bitcoin economy when it was a $1 Billion dollar pie. Many merchants will want to tap into this economy if it is a $100 billion market

Wouldn't you have to type an address or something to send bitcoins. I don't understand how these people can think its instant in a way different from credit cards, unless bitcoin is reading their minds or something.
