Another anti-everyone else extremist group now authorized to use Bitcoin.

Where will this end?

Nobody said all users of bitcoin are 'anti-everyone'. But that exchange is especially popular with criminal elements. And cannot be scaled large enough to replace standard currencies.

France did not authorized bitcoin. France permitted people who sell insurance (protect from risk) to work with crypto currencies just like they do with derivatives (SIVs, CDOs, etc). Those derivatives also are not currencies even though they too can be traded like one.

France is establishing a standard so that better future options can be created. Casinos can aslo sell and trade gambling chips. France did not have to liberate those transactions.

Also changed is private ownership of airports. That is also not legalizing a new currency. That is Macron opening new markets in France's economy. The Euro remains legal tender.

That is actually a pretty good explanation tw. And it's not long.

And you worked casino chips in, which is always worth a chuckle.

Are you a gambler by any chance? a casino gambler?

There are collectors for them, just as there are for Mardi Gras tokens. Put them on eBay.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-15-2019, 06:48 AM

Do they sell for more than face value, I'd guess not unless the Casino is kaput.

A few silver bullets wouldn't hurt either.

henry quirk · 05-01-2019, 05:25 PM

As I say: guns and gold, bitches.

Guns, ammo, silver bullets, gold, Bitcoin, water, fat food and your particular brand of stress relief.

Without all of those, might just as well head to the camps yourself before they round ya up.

henry quirk · 05-02-2019, 08:37 AM

well, well-prepared is good, but minimally prepared works too, if a body is clever

sexobon · 05-02-2019, 04:43 PM

Or you can just have a survival smartphone with guns, ammo, silver bullets, gold, Bitcoin, water, fat food and your particular brand of stress relief apps.

Sound like anyone we know?

I don't know: who has a magic smart phone?

Facebook is seeking $1 Billion in investments into its own cryptocurrency "FB Coin"

currency out of a social media company?

HELL TO THE FUCKING NO.

Thanks for making me think of this again.

Bitcoin is interesting but still limited.

BitPay is my next experiment. BitPay is a wallet that has a Visa card linked to it. Sell your bitcoin into you BitPay card account and use it as any other card.

Then use the card as any other card for all of the same types of purchases.

We’ll soon see how it works.
