That is absolutely true, but the user base for BTC is tiny at the moment and only grew because of all the publicity.  Check to see how many registered users on this forum.  Also have a look at the wiki page for current BTC online businesses.  I wouldnt be sure could make a living at this right now.

Oh yeah, I totally get that! This is a little side thing - my local sales of this wick already paid for my first investment, so I wanted to take the rest to help grow the community, however small of a contribution. I wouldn't be trying to make a living off of it.

My intention really is to help supply the BTC community with another source of goods/services.

As an added thing - this is a microbusiness, I am not trying to throw spam out there.

The real way to create strength behind bitcoin is to offer lots of goods and services for BTC.

Not just mining/exchanging for USD.

Hey all,

Looking for your input!
I currently have a micro-business called Earthlite Organics. I've had some small successes in my locality and have learned about bitcoin recently.

Everything bitcoin is about I agree with - the decentralized nature, greater freedom and independence, it's perfect.

I have had a domain name reserved in case I wanted to open an online store.
I am thinking about doing it in only bitcoins/dwolla now.

Right now my specialization is Hemp Wick. I'll have more Organic-centric items available in the near future.

It's hemp twine dipped in beeswax, used as a butane lighter alternative for smoking your herbal blends or lawful medicinal plants.
The taste improvement is absolutely unbelievable, and the reason why I started peddling the stuff.



Beeswax burns so clean it's approved by the American Lung Association. How's that for irony!  Grin
Hemp from Romania, Beeswax from beehives in Arcata, CA, USA.

What are your opinions? Is this a viable business concept that could get popular amongst Bitcoin users??
