Topic: Bitcoin is a PoS (Read 10063 times)
Although, in all due fairness (I now see that this is a zombie thread), when it was started there was no Proof of Stake.
lol at title.
Here PoS usually means Proof of Stake.
And here I was expecting some clever analysis that explains why the Bitcoin Proof of Work system is somewhat equivalent to PoS

Maybe he meant "positively overwhelming success".
Hey OP,
Point of Sale?
If you mean piece of sh&^. Well, that is the same as saying YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO USE BTC.
I agree with that, your ARE stupid

1% retail currency conversion is too high?
But coinbase pretty much sucks... I have only bad experience with them...
Strange. Everyone in the Free State Bitcoin Consortium seems to like Coinbase. I've never used it, as I think 1% is too steep a fee, but I haven't heard of anyone who has been stiffed by it, and the user interface seems pretty polished. 
Yes, it is currently pining for the fjords, as is my investment.
Aww, has it ceased to be?
www.ubitex.org is a startup service that seeks to match local buyers and sellers of bitcoin with eachother so that they can exchange in person. As a shareholder, I think it would be great if you used and advocated this service to others such as yourself in your area!
Ubitex doesn't seem to work.

I am an unemployed person of lower than average intelligence.
I managed to buy bitcoins after 20ms research.

You guys should look at my exam results and yet I somehow managed to understand the concept of money printing and can read stocks.... No really, I have no idea how the fuck I'm able to do that O_O
usd2btc.com ? never used them, but the interface looks super simple to use.

Coinbase invalidates this necro thread.
Damnit, I read through half the first page thinking this was a new thread.
that makes you twice as intelligent as me :/
I see this worked well.

Yes, bitcoin can be a bit difficult to get sometimes, but blame the money in your pocket for that, not bitcoin. You can't easily send cash to someone instantly unless you use a third party and those third parties need your information and time to collect funds, time to send funds, finish the transaction and so on. CCs are easy but only because you already have an account registered.

This is a good point that the OP can't see because it's so huge before him: Bitcoin is hard to do because the dominant money system does not WANT such things happening. We have all been corralled in economic (and political and medical and legal and...well, you get it) fences.
But the OP should be given credit for attempting to take bold action. Yes, he stopped to whine a bit, but now--chastened--he must return to the revolution.
I'm probably piling on, but this is an extremely important point. Bitcoins aren't difficult to "buy." Fiat is difficult to spend (or at least to spend in certain ways). The difficulties in exchanging fiat for bitcoins are entirely on the fiat side. (And they're hardly insurmountable.) And if you are "buying" bitcoins by selling goods and services, accepting those coins is pretty darn easy. So what initially sounds like a criticism of Bitcoin is actually a great demonstration of its power. I remember that first international wire transfer to Mt. Gox. It was expensive, a moderate pain in the ass, and it took days to go through. I also remember that first transfer of my newly-purchased coins to my personal wallet. The difference in terms of the time, effort, and expense(!) between those two experiences was instructive.

Good for a laugh.
More for a cry. One year later and not much has changed
