Topic: Bitcoin Economic Growth - What do you want? (Read 3068 times)
I have to say some of these things come as a bit of a surprise, but some.of it was expected. Hoping.to hear.some.more and keep the.discussion going for everyone's benefit. I hope.others take.something away from the discussion and find their own way to contribute.to Bitcoin.
i have premium coffee beans for sale, freshly roasted, fast shipping. check the thread in my signature.
I prettymuch swapped mining to producing and selling of goods, see signature.
I'm planning on renting a house near Cairns, Australia from June until December of next year.
I'd love to be able to pay the deposit and rent in bitcoin.
I think paying for international vacation rentals could be a "killer application" for Bitcoin.

Powerful escrow service could also help a lot, actually I would like to invest in them
Primarily i'd like to see more webshops accepting bitcoin and just regular people for general trading. If both of these get feet on the ground, more and more 'normal' business will start accepting them i think.
The only thing I want is 1 satoshi to be worth $1 then I can be happy.
There is exactly one way that happens and it isn't how you are thinking.
Everything that can be delivered through network, like game/domain/antivirus subscription, software download, music, etc...
With a well established local currency exchange, anything can be included, but that is not a good direction IMO, BTC should be mostly seperated from the real economy to grow enough strong to let the real economy chase BTC

A marketplace for items of extreme low value. That kind of business model is uncharted territory because it wasn't viable before Bitcoin, so it would be nice if we can figure out what kind of penny value items, digital goods or services people would want to buy.
I would like to see bitcoin more easily and safely to use just like email on every mobile devices.
Would be nice if some Gas stations were taking bitcoin. Of course that bitinstant debit card is supposed to come out soon and could help with that.
I would like to see bitcoin replace or be heavily integrated with in-game currencies, so that a person who generates wealth in one game can transfer that to the next game they play, or withdraw it to the real world. Virwox is a step in the right direction, but only for one in game currency when there are in fact dozens of popular game currencies. Gamers are already used to using virtual currencies, so transitioning to bitcoin is not a big step for them.
I want to see bitcoin displace PayPal for :
donations to non-profits
donations to open source projects
It's well past time. BitPay or Gox POS should step up and provide a low friction way for these orgs to embrace btc.

I've already spent a lot of time asking a lot of other people if they have heard of and what they think of Bitcoin. I was also sure to make sure I was taking input from a wide range of people so i didn't just focus on the "computer nerds", the everyday "clueless", etc.
You currently do not have a name, a face, or any value. The weasely pretense of "things you've done" would go over a lot better if either a) you were somebody as opposed to nobody or else b) it were documented. If I say "I've talked to a lot of idiots just like you," I can readily back it up with links to me talking to lots of idiots just like you saying and doing the same idiotic things you're saying and doing. The difference is I don't need to, because unlike you, a).
So let's get back on track here. Get in the WOT, lurk moar, come back 1 yr.
Really? There is no need for me to even respond if you have to drop to that instead of continuing (or just staying out of) the conversation.
Did I say I was starting this tomorrow? No.
Honestly, I hoping to start enough conversation that more people besides myself come up with their own ideas and move forward.
Kindly keep to the topic, or stay out of the thread please. I enjoyed your post about "So you want to start a business.." Everything from you in this topic has been wind. Thank you for sharing though.
Pizza ... it would be great if someone could get 2 pizzas delivered to my place if i sent them some bitcoins (say like 10,000)
another solution for the arm chair entrepreneurs is drop shipping..
with dropshipping the entrepreneurs amongst us dont have to worry about pre-purchasing stock, packaging it and paying delivery costs or waiting for delivery vans to come to them at all hours of the day,
all you need to do is search drop shipping on google, find a supplier/product that you want to sell. Make an script that converts the supplier price into a btc price (adding on of course a nice commission and conversion fees) and then start selling it on your own website.

I'm guessing this is basically what Bitcoinstore.com does, and I think they've grabbed a nice niche there and done it well from what I can see,
Taking advantage of bitcoin's no-chargebacks and lower processing/exchange fees to be able to offer competitive prices on competitive stuff.
in short fast food
a few of us on the litecoin side are talking about just-eat.com
a international website that links many fast food places in different countries together by allowing you to order their food through the website and have it delivered. mostly europe, canada and mexico is covered, sorry america isnt really listed but this is a great website that if they would accept any crypto currency, it would be a great start.

Although it would be great if someone like Just-eat would add bitcoin, it may not happen for a while.
I've just set up FoodbyFone.com
to be a listing place for all food & beverage outlets that accept Bitcoin. If anyone wants to help by adding in locations you know that accept bitcoin that would be fantastic, the more this could be a useful resource for bitcoiners as a whole.
Listings are free. I hope spammy listings don't become a problem otherwise may have to add some kind of fee which may put people off listing which would defeat the whole point, on the other hand it could be used as a commission for people who sign up outlets....
I'd love to hear any feedback from the community or anyone who may want to help out perhaps in certain area or country or potentially even take over, e.g. a country or perhaps the whole site if you are ambitious!
One idea: a random.org for the bitcoin enthusiast.

then just pay the drop shipper and give the drop shipper the delivery address of the customer. and that is it. the drop shipper does all the hard work while you keep the extra commission you added to the bill, without having to do much more hard work then paying a supplier and pasting a delivery address.
hopefully a bitcoin debit card will make the whole process more stream lined. and relationships can be build up for the drop shipper to take BTC to not even require converting to fiat to purchase stock. but atleast the first baby steps is to get more products available for people to buy.
