Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, and the Future of Global Finance

PJ getting into crypto is a clear sign of peak mania. I never would have expected that.

WOW...

PJ is a tech guy. This makes perfect sense

Good News for ADA Cardano Holders

They had me at singularity

Even as someone that buys crypto, this is one of my issues. I have found it difficult to purchase some of them, the idea of easily using it as a currency seems far down the road.

Visa and MC are working on payment processing tech for various cryptos as we speak. One of my vendors that helps manage my Google Shopping campaigns just sent me an article about it. It'll be here soon.

Ease of use and willing to do so will be interesting to watch. The retailer or whoever is selling needs an incentive to take the crypto. That can come in several forms - so many consumers with crypto to spend and or less financial fees the retailer has to eat from the current methods.

The idea , as a small business owner, to take your cardano over the US dollar seems to be quite a leap of faith from the current view.

Here is said article:

More payments firms extended their reach in the space amid surging crypto valuations: Visa, for example, introduced new crypto card offerings, and both Visa and Mastercard announced plans to integrate crypto into their networks. Meanwhile, Square—which has had a hand in the crypto market since 2018—invested $50 million in Bitcoin, and PayPal launched its “Checkout with Crypto” feature. Beyond increasing valuations, consumers’ heightened focus on digital payments may have also led providers to dive deeper into cryptos—although Bitcoin’s recent wave of volatility could jeopardize its popularity.

Crypto payment interest growing among US consumers

Take it and convert it if you aren't comfortable with it.

I dont think it would get to that. If a seller of goods or services doesnt find it attractive, I think they will just choose to not accept it, rather than accept it and convert it. Until the point they believe they are losing revenue on that choice. Which I think is a very far away dilemma.

Sorry but mocking is not against board rules. Some posts just deserve it

Personal attacks are.

ADA is not meant to replace currency it is for smart contracts.

Ease of use and utility aren’t there when valuations fluctuate 20% per day.

Why would they care if it's all automated? They don't have to do anything except for update a merchant setting to auto-convert. It probably won't even have to happen on their end, TBH. Visa, MC, Paypal, etc. can just convert it to US$ before it hits the small business owner's account.

Absolutely and it's why I don't do them

You don't always have to play the victim

Utility is in a select few cryptos, has been for a while. That has not been realized yet and when it does you will know but unfortunately at that point it will be to late to get in.

Ok, excuse my ignorance, substitute one that is.

12. Stalking. Please don't stalk other posters by repeatedly responding to his/her posts for the sole purpose of ridiculing, mocking, insulting, or flaming

 

[reecetn]

Watch it or ima going to pop a cap in your ass.

It's ironic that the caring watchdog that warns us about personal attacks posted the above hilarious post.

Isn’t taking a shot at a poster by suggesting that they “always have to play the victim” a personal attack?

As @Freak says… attack the post, not the poster. Calling a poster a troll seems to fit the latter.

You're making a fool of yourself for the 100th time. Of course, that isn't a rule against all mockery. What a fun place this would be if you made, interpreted, and/or enforced the rules.

Hardly being a watchdog. Simply reacting to being attacked by a staff member which encouraged beta posters to follow the lead.

You're such a victim. Freak, please come save this man from the dangers of free markets and posters who don't appreciate his trolling.

So you don't want to talk about the threat of popping a cap I my @$$? I don't blame you hypocrite.

Obviously it was a joke that went way over your head.

It was just a great reference to your hypocrisy. In your victim state of delusion you have took several opportunities to try to exploit our jokes as credible threats and even taking it so far as including the board owner. Maybe you should try to reach out to the white house. Sniff and Blow may be able to accommodate you.

The rule is against stalking and lists mockery as an example. Now you are stalking as well.

Crypto bros sure get triggered when posts aren’t about leading cheers.
