untill people like myself can get hold of the coins, then it won't work..Here in the UK it's easier to buy rocking horse shit than to get hold of btc..

cough bitbargain.co.uk cough
also
localbitcoins.com

takes minutes to get bitcoins in the UK not 3-5 days such as the yanks

And Bittylicious. It's the most simple exchange IMO. I don't understand how people find it so difficult to get coins, unless you're technically illiterate. Are people that lazy they just actually want somebody to send them coins whilst they do nothing?

Monica80 I really like your point that we shall not only sit on these bitcoins but in fact show the willingness to spend them also. I have heard someone brought Lamborghini from his bitcoins. By the way I am not a rich holder of bitcoin as I am waiting for it to either stabilize or doom forever. Like I don’t need to risk my hard earned money whose value might be overvalued hence a massive tumbling could be on its way.

Cool, so you are the one in the news?

So I guess to sound the very main topic of this thread: Baby, you are THE rich man ~~too~~

Not to derail the topic but I have seen some negative comments surrounding you... I guess that happens when you buy your first lambo, right?

Neg eh? I'm not really a reader of the media but I'd like to know how this could be a bad thing.

I guess I should have mentioned negative in the forum, but yeah my comment:

I guess that happens when you buy your first lambo, right?

was referring to jealousy from other members.

Actually, when the news was out about you buying the lambo, I thought this was a milestone in the btc history. Just like the guy spending 10,000 btc to buy pizza a few years ago. Wink

Lambo or pizza ......... the choice is yours

Why the negative comments? If he crashed it the first night, sure, people would call him all sorts of things but I don't see anything wrong with buying a lambo. Most boy's dream .......... probably just jealousy.

Bitstamp turned into a massive balls up for me. They had their banking 'issues' just as the price went mad and it took nearly a week to deposit.

Localbitcoins et al did have an insane premium when prices were rising fast. When it's falling or level the premium becomes more acceptable. A few times it's been less than the exchanges. You have to keep monitoring it for the right moment.

In retrospect I wish I'd gotten all of my coins through there. I guess it depends on whether you think the price will be steady.

I see. I never had any problems with bistamp. Guess you got unlucky, or I got lucky.

If someone is selling below exchange prices at lbc they won't stay in business very long Wink

I've used localbitcoins.com to buy most of mine. Here's a bunch of people in London who will sell you BTC for GBP:

The premium is too much for me. Why not just use bitstamp or something?

Kwoody, did you transferred coins or did you exchange them to currency?

The car was purchased purely in BTC. I have not tracked those coins since the transaction. Finding a real estate agent in the USA that will take BTC is proving to be a challenge. As for stores and places like target, you can buy Gift Cards for Target using BTC. It's far from perfect, but at least it's possible to facilitate a transaction at a retail store, essentially using BTC as payment.

They will come with time as they recognize the sales they may be missing out on.
I can help you out while we wait for Netflix to accept Bitcoin

Now that would be awesome. Perhaps I can get a second job part time that pays only in bitcoin. That way I won't need to exchange from dlls.

Buy BTC:
bittylious already sell bitcoin in UK and in January ZipZap will be available almost everywhere in the UK (They talk about 28k locations).
There is also bit121 which uses a processor connected to Barclays but I haven't use it so I can't tell.
And there is always localbitcoin

Buy with BTC:
Maybe a bear in shoreditch or hackney, what else?
Not much really

Being able to convert BTC to currency is great, but I was referring to being able to go to a store and pay with bitcoin.

I agree the price fluctuation would literally bankrupt most businesses. They won't be able to swallow a 50% lose in profit from one weekend to the next one. This is hurting BTC.

And another problem is that I would like to be able to buy stuff I really need or use directly! Like empowe mentioned. Go to target and buy stuff. That would be a dream.

This would spread them shinny cute coins around. And people would start using them widely and a value would be set.

And can't we help those in the UK mentioning that coins are super scarce? I am willing to sell one or two haut for helping

but I have no intentions of becoming a trader.

Kwoody, did you transferred coins or did you exchange them to currency?

Agreed. its what is holding adoption back. Unfortunately I don't recall anyone planning to put ATMs in the UK yet. Have to wait for regulation which could be ....... years away.

I know of a few good merchants lists and btc maps, hold on:

http://coinmap.org/

https://www.spendbitcoins.com/places/

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade

I am also a bitcoin merchant and many more are listed on reddit.com/r/bitcoin all the time. It's always great to see more merchants bring in adoption.
