Most people who have bitcoins dont want to be spending it on a taxi anyway, just being realistic! Sorry!
Personally I would not mind spending bitcoins on a taxi fare.
I don't mind spending bitcoins to buy stuff (as a consumer). I just rebuy them on the market.

I never said at all, that taxi's are not popular - all i had an opinion on is, the fact that people with bitcoin are more likely going to buy something common in bitcoin market, rather than pay for transportation of which normal currency, or local currency is usaully used.
FWIW, you're right, a bitcoiner is much more likely to buy something online than to pay for a taxi with their bitcoins... but the more real-world businesses there are that accept bitcoin, the better, in my opinion. A bitcoin-only taxi would rapidly go out of business, though.
Im sorry but from a bitcoin client and business overview, i wouldn't want to pay bitcoins for travel... Most people who have bitcoins have a vehicle or have access to a vehicle.
The average person using bitcoin doesn't use a taxi.

This is such an odd, ignorant, insular post. It has an almost childlike naivety.
I'm not sure where you are from. but in the vast majority of the world, people don't call a taxi because they don't own a car. Also, people who live in huge cities tend not to have vehicles. Are you saying that no one who lives in Central London, Manhattan, or Tokyo uses Bitcoin?
I'm guessing that you haven't travelled much, or even learned much about the outside world. Perhaps you are a young child.
Having my opinion, is that against the rules in this thread is it?
The majority of people who have bitcoin don't want to spend it on transport, they want to spend it on other bitcoin like services...
Anyway its a waste of my time replying, someone who assumes im a child is really - not informed very well.

I enjoy riding a taxi when drunk or travelling in another country...
Or even just another city. Do you have any idea of the shipping costs for a car? To say nothing of what those idiot baggage handlers would do to it...
lol. this took me a second.

However someone did mention, a secure bitcoin " ATM " would be better.

all this talk about whats legal and what isn't, who cares. Law, from the perspective of the morally concerned individual, is at best completely frivolous. One should do what is right even if it is illegal and should refrain from doing what is wrong even if it is legal.
well-said, man. I agree.

Taxis != public transportation.
I'd say that the majority of people who get a taxi do have a vehicle, they just do not have access to them in that moment (or do not want to, like when they're drunk etc).

Is there any chance you could call your boss and explain to him that you thought you were doing it for the better of the business. You thought it would bring in more customers, and in the long-run help the business flourish. You had no intentions of hurting or misleading anybody, bring that up too.
I'd also advise you to go out on the street and sell some Bitcoins, it's a lot better than just sitting there making nothing, you could at least be making a few bucks while you wait to find a new job/occupation

What you want is to hit the sweet spot between too half assed for real investors and too half assed even for some of the dumb fucks on here. Then you can expect funding.
/sigh... sad but true.
If you want investors, write up a business plan, post it on here, and see who bites. If you want to beg, get a tin can, and make a sign. You'll get more money on the street corner than here.
And if you want investors, you will also get better funding elsewhere. Unless your business plan is so fucking stupid that no one will invest in you in the real world. In which case this forum is perfect, because it is full of stupid people who like to think of themselves as high powered capitalists. Of course all these people have is an abundance of Bitcoins, they have no contacts or guidance that can help you unlike a real world investor. Also most of the really dumb ones lost too much money with Pirate or other ponzi schemes to start getting into new ventures, even if their egos would cream over pretending they were a "venture capitalist"

Why do you call everythin here "scam"?
Because, more often than not, it's true. Especially when people start asking for money before having a solid outline (also known as a "business plan") of how they plan to use that money. If you want investors, write up a business plan, post it on here, and see who bites. If you want to beg, get a tin can, and make a sign. You'll get more money on the street corner than here.
The funny thing is, if he had put a little more effort in he could have probably scammed thousands of coins
It scares me how people didn't realise this was a scam in the first place. It rings all the wrong bells. Jump to:
