i like this ad
|
# ? Dec 18, 2014 14:09 |
|
the part i like is that that ad does not in fact link to chain.com but goes to a bit.ly link that goes to some blockchain.info.something.tld i guess requiring people to have the real url on an ad is just too high a requirement for google

there is a conference going on right now Payments Policy in the 21st Century: The Promise of Innovation and the Challenge of Regulation Ben Lawsky is the keynote speaker. Check out the livestream: http://bipartisanpolicy.org/events/payment-policy-in-the-21st-century-the-promise-of-innovation-and-the-challenge-of-regulation/ edit: Oh poo poo one of the regulators called the blockchain "elegant" Some of the other guys are saying virtual currencies would need to support stuff like chargebacks and reversing fraudulent transactions in order to be accepted by consumers.

they keep saying 2014 was a great year for building the infrastructure behind bitcoin, but it all seems to be stuff around using the blockchain less (because it's getting expensive and would be saturated if bitcoin saw any real adoption) or cashing out in new and creative ways. like, a big thing they say is that big stores/brands are accepting bitcoin payments. through coinbase or bitpay. who cash it out to fiat, and will do everything in their power to keep that transaction off the blockchain. or there are sidechains, which seem to be a complicated scheme to discourage altcoins and get transactions to happen off blockchain. or colored coins, which looks like the equivalent of "if i mail myself a copy of my idea and keep the postmarked envelope sealed, i can sue anyone who copies my idea without having to deal with a pesky lawyer!" it's as hard to buy bitcoin as ever. you either go with localbitcoin and get mugged or in trouble for helping somebody else launder money, or you go with a more legitimate place. coinbase or an exchange, you give them a ton of personal information and still need to wait 2-3 days for a bank transfer. a bitcoin atm is faster, assuming it works, although they seem to require just as much information, and you need to wait around a coffee shop an hour or two while they verify your info. my personal bitpay business model theory is this: quote:bitpay: we offer a way to convert bitcoins to fiat for merchants. if you don't invest in us, you might miss the boat.

all the '2014 was about infrastructure i look forward to 2015' talk is exactly the same as they were saying last year too

Realistically the end game of bitpay is they are going to be a minor paypal clone that co-opts a bunch of bitcoin language and grows more and more distant from any use of bitcoin in any step of their operation.

Others, mistaking it for a regular ATM, jam their credit cards in it. it makes me happy to know those lovely unbranded atms that charge you $5 to get cash are doing badly, and that it's bad enough their owners want to touch the poop over it.
