This is what I've been shouting about from the rooftops for 6 months, only to be called insane. People can't see there is nothing anonymous and nothing secret about Bitcoin and digital money in general.
It is laughable.
Bitcoin is a government and banking ruse. Is a game to get everyone to embrace digital money at any Costco.
It feeds off the greed and stupidity of people.
And it will not fail - it will succeed, as all the powers of the world are behind it.
And this is why I'm 100% certain of things like a Bitcoin ETF and $1,000+ price next year and mass global adoption by 2015.
Remember, today we are at less than 1%.
Yeah i hear you Vlad and it's hard to argue when retards like this company are doing things like this...
And then to hear that they didn't even need to actually record the biometric , so that is to imply it wasn't even a requirement, they just "felt like it would be a good idea" ? to be forward thinking ?
But lets put some things in perspective , most government legislation is well intentioned for example the statement on the ETF is about protecting shareholders , more likely i'd look at things like this a a joke being pulled by the company .
You're being a bit naivé. These jokes are intentionally testing the public's ability and tolerance for more intrusion and theft of privacy and since they're handling it well you can expect this biometric thing will be widespread all over the world and very much a requirement, including here in the land of the not so free.
To help you understand read up on inQtel. That's the CIA's Venture Capital arm which has invested in start-ups like Google and Facebook. And if you think it's not possible that they had a hand in helping Bitcoin and now these ATM's then you're being very naivé.
Sit back and watch it unravel, just don't call it a joke or an accident because there's much more planning behind the scenes than you and I can possibly fathom.
Maybe you're not so wacko after all.
@all
If this is allowed to become reality, what will you do if/when they turn your power and/or chip off ?
There will only be one thing left to do.
Run for the hills!
