fuck yeah dead kennedys! Shitty movies are killing the movie industry, not filesharing, it's something that the entertainment business doesn't like to admit so they find a scapegoat.
They can only make shitty movies because they have far less to pay movie makers due to the fact that nobody pays for movies any longer. Same thing happened to the music industry. Music production is shit now. It used to be fantastic because it made a ton of money.
He's certainly an opportunist but he is very clever marketing guy and knows how to make steal millions. If he brings millions to Bitcoin then so be it.
"I don't care how dirty the money is, bring it to Bitcoin!". Great idea numbnuts. Bitcoin needs additional legitimacy not more fucking criminals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Taping_Is_Killing_Music
Didn't you guys know these industries all died in the 80's?
Without making a stance as to the legality of Mega and Kim DotCom:
- This case clearly illustrates the need for bitcoin.
The very fact that a 3rd party can block your business for the fact that they don't like you, or the fact that they're pressured by some govt. thugs is wrong.
It is VERY wrong that payments could be stopped this abruptly, as it can be quite devastating for the company in question.
It goes to show that if you do anything that the powers that be don't like, they will shut down your revenue stream, and they might also confiscate your bank accounts.
That is wrong on so many levels.
VISA and Paypal are only concerned with covering their own back, so no matter how much Mega made for them, they will happily show him the door if required for business reasons. Otherwise, they're putting their own head under the axe, and they're not interested in that, as we've clearly seen also in the past. They're only concerned with profit, not ethics.
However, this will bring trouble to Mega. No matter how we twist and turn it, most folks are not yet "bitcoin enabled". Forcing everyone to use bitcoin for Mega, might drive up usage of bitcoin and be a postive thing short term for bitcoin, however it's also likely that many customers will leave and go to other services were they still can use Paypal and VISA. Mega would need to implement bitcoin payments inhouse, as any payment processor that does bitcoin payments would immediately be under pressure if they went into a collaboration. Coinlab and Circle would also be on their toes, monitoring transactions to check whether customers use Mega and other "questionable" services. They would do this to protect their own back from the state thugs.
The only long term solution is to leave the fiat system entirely. Then there will be no need to be a customer of a draconical company that checks your every move. Did anyone ever have a bank employee walking after them checking what they use the cash for after withdrawing it from the ATM? How ridiculous would that not be?
Considering Mega does adopt bitcoin and customers stay on the ship, we would see a substantional increase in bitcoin transactions. If Mega wants to stay in business, crypto might be their only resort.
As the corporate and govt. thugs realize that they're starting to lose their power to control others by cutting their life lines, humans on this planet will be more liberated.

Is this the reason bitcoin rise more than $10 in a days?
I doubt that. But of course Kim Schmitz would like to be the reason for it. He is extremely self-centered and thinks he is the greatest.
Check out his past life and you will know what I mean.
With all the money hes got he can get Bitcoin to 300 easily..
In his actual financial situation I highly doubt that!!
The pump started hours before his announcement by the way!
No it didn't, the buy order happened exactly at the time of his post.
yes let him pump it to $300 and we can all finally dump it on him.

Just saw his recent tweet
"My #Bitcoin tweets yesterday might have caused a rise in Bitcoin market cap of USD 3.7 billion. Oops :-)"
and a great article to follow up on it : http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptocurrency-round-kim-dotcom-gives-bitcoin-boost-boe-researches-digital-currency-1489823

Some people are saying he is broke on this thread .

Well, he's our leader now so might as well accept it.
So ,
Seems like Paypal and MasterCard has stopped doing business with MEGA (File uploading & sharing provider)
Kim Dotcom tweeted : "I like to thank @Paypal for backing #Mega for such a long time. The pressure from Hollywood and the US Government was simply too much."
So he decided to switch from those payment methods to Bitcoin and give a boost .
I personally think that it's a great oppurtunity for Bitcoin , what do you guys think ?

Kim DotCom is a disgusting bloated fat pig. He peddles in illegal stolen wares. He profits from the illicit use of other people's creations. Most around here don't like copyright, but it remains legitimate law. Nerds love 'free' movies, but it is killing the people who produce movies just like the music industry.
Do we really need to have bitcoin involved in more criminal uses? Do we really want to associate bitcoin as this go to tool for assholes who want to steal?
Bitcoin will be great as soon as we get rid of the anarchy assholes think its primary use is to traverse the law.
Kim Schmitz is merely a dirty filthbag. I don't accept him as an ambassador for Bitcoin.

Oh noes, another short-sighted brainwashed prick.

I don't think it's down to shitty movies as there's a lot of great films coming out, but the prices are ridiculous. They should be getting cheaper not more expensive. The prices seem to have doubles over the past 7 years or so and to go see a film in imax or 3D is ridiculous. If the cinema industry wants to survive they need to lower the prices though I think streaming high quality films though better TVs will be the future.

Kim just needs to accept btc asap. More action less talk.
People have been saying that file sharing is killing the music industry for a decade now -- obviously a huge exaggeration. Who watched the Grammy's the other night?
Exacrtly. They said that about cassette copying: 'Home taping is killing music'. File sharing is here to stay and the industry just needs to learn to adapt like any other. Advancements in technology makes jobs obsolete so people and industries need to evolve along with it. That being said the music industry is doing fine; they just don't make as much money as they used to so the bosses can only afford 1 private jet as opposed to owning a fleet of them and their bands and artists can now only afford one mansion instead of 5.

Kim Dotcom is a much larger asset to the human race than the puppets who try to strong-arm him with their Wall Street-dictated laws/agendas. They would trade places with him if they had the genetics/confidence for it.

I think your comment about "it remains legitimate law" indicates way too much respect for the legal system. There are many examples of clearly immoral laws, (e.g. Fugitive Slave Law) and I'm sure you could come up with your own list of them. Also there are lots of example where copyright laws have been used to stifle creativity rather than encourage it. Kim Dotcom provides one more use-case for bitcoin. If you don't want to use his service, don't.
The rise of the last two Bitcoin's bubbles has exclusively speculative reasons underneath, so Kim would fit perfectly into this scenario, where we are looking to fuel the third one.

Just wondering why he needs to convert all his stash when what he needs is basically to be able to receive payment in bitcoin. The large buy order could come from someone else who might have interpret that as a positive news event and thus put on a large buy.
It is good thing for Bitcoin. If there are anything against the law let police solve it but that has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Bitcoin if free to use for everyone.
