I see you're not in Dubai... how it works?
BTW I don't care about anonymity, I just want to be able to pay my normal taxi with bitcoins easily and being sure I'm not going to get scammed.

see it was easier telling this in English, translating something to Arabic is really complicated, this is why Google translate is good only for words and not sentences or paragraphs, if you try to translate a paragraph to Arabic using Google translate you will get a disaster and only make a joke of your self.

Yes it's from google translate as I don't speak Arabic. I don't expect any translation to be perfect but after putting it back in google translate it's pretty clear.

Basically we are offering Anon Taxi services for bitcoin.

what kind of Arabic writing is that ? it is like you used Google translate and pasted it here, it is so awful written that I don't understand a thing of this post

ما أدري كيف فاتني أشوف الموضوع لكن اشكر لك سؤالك.....

I worked with Lophie on he fist bitcoinArabia.com website but it was down for reasons out of our control....

Now Twitter account: @BitcoinArabia is still active.

There's also a WhatsApp group with 30+ members from Kuwait. Also, there was a meetup in Dubai two months ago, and anther is planned, I will update followers on Twitter with the account above. Interest is still low due to awareness.

I have a surprise that I hope to announce soon in the region

We need some sort of group to keep us all in the loop

Higher VAT and lower minimum wage, Higher tareefs and govetmental fees and a hysterical yearly reports of 40% of the budget spent on "utilities", Lack of "taxes" means when tens of thousands die in Jeddah because they DROWNED over a couple of inches of rain, no one even understood the implications, and much more.

well , asking someone to read more about his opinion when disagree with him without an input on the subject is diffenetly not a healthy way for a debate
check how much ppl earn per month in top countries before and after taxation for example a teacher in USA will find himself with only 2000$ per month after taxes and he still need to pay the bills and rentals , while in saudia you don't pay a shit for anything except your rental home if you don't own one or living with your family which is not a curse like other westren countries infact it consedered a good deed localy . 


i'm not praising our government in fact i belieave they do shity job economy wise even with their subsidy i'm just stating Bitcoin position in our taxation system , its more than safe here and i can't imagine how the government is going to tax it . plus don't forget gulf countries is not capitalist so again we are safe

Hello, I urge you to read about subsidies and budget defencies solutions as well as passive taxation through tareefs.

We have very high taxation rate with psychooogical manipulation.

i posted a Pm for you if you interested to do some jobs together

Hi there!
I'm from Spain, I've been learning and doing business with bitcoin since 2012. Now I'm moving to Dubai and would be nice to have some bitcoin contacts there.
Also my wife is Arabian, so she will help me there with the language

I hope we can start moving something there!

hello , i thought about this BUT by looking at our system i won't be worry , the most important factor here is we pay ZERO taxes , it's the otherway around actually , the gulf governments pay taxes to the locals through tons of channels like supporting oil prices and food , free educations and healthcare, hell u can even get paid by the govermnets to get healthcare or education and get salary if you like doing it in other countries ^^

so i don't think the government will be worry about locals trade their currency for BTC , hell i think 70% of the currency are going outside the country by the contractors and labors channels alone

that and our governments are so stupid techwise to know what BTC is , if they ever gets the different between twitter and facebook  .

i got loads of good informations and oponions through your thread . but i want to ask a question ... Do you think the Government in countries like Uae or Saudi Arabia accept bitcoin as a legal Curreny ?
in my Oponion they can simply deny it just like china if they see its going big and bigger . Bitcoin can Hurt the profits on the Current Banking system and im sure they wont let it to happen .

Hi all, thank you all for the posts.

There's more interest in creating a bitcoin-based-business than creating an informational community, which is understandable because there are many business opportunities. What I'm proposing is that before any of you decide to approach customers with a business, we have to establish an informational database. Not only will it give all the entrepreneurs in the region information to fall back on, but it will help people understand Bitcoin is far more than the entrepreneurs' business. I understand that we all recognize it is a new form of money and it's tempting to want to build a startup so quickly but please understand that if your business takes off, and it is the only one in the region and it suffers from one issue or another, it will damage bitcoins' credibility.

I wanted to create an easily-understood free information before anything else. With this information we can collectively increase the market share of bitcoins in the region and its use, if you'd like to create your own business and use this information you will be free to do so. We have to start with education, a brand for BTC that isn't directly connected to the businesses that may come up soon, including exchanges.

Q 1 > Do we do this individually or do we collaborate with translating Bitcoin.org and work with the bitcoin foundation?

I was made aware of the interest for foreign workers because of the lack of fees they incur when they transfer money back home.

I understand people are bound to full numbers, I have also talked to several people nationals from the UAE and many were amazed by the returns they could have made but   disregarded it. I had to start explaining money, then the world economy, then inflation and the petro-dollar, it became very political and I don't want it to be that way.
I make it very clear to them that I am not trying to sell them anything. If you approach somebody with your business and try to explain bitcoins then try to lead them to a sale people will lose trust in you, and bitcoins subsequently. I think you should be careful to advertise Bitcoin as a (high risk) investment instead of an alternative currency (even though it clearly is both).  

There may not be enough interest to fully design and engineer a secure exchange - I've looked into designing/developing one but it is unlikely I will create one within the next year, maybe one of you will step up for the challenge. I am indeed thinking more at a local level. I am thinking 4-5 years ahead and what to do if the world economy takes Bitcoin to be something even more than it is today.


Not at the current market, obviously only a tiny percentage of people use or understand bitcoins in the M.E. UAE and Egypt are currently the highest.


Great, I am in touch with some Lebanese entrepreneurs for other projects but it would help to have like-minded individuals work together.

Thanks,

Due to the nature of political suppression and government control over the economies, it will be very rare for OTC transactions. An exchange tolerated by a government will work great. I hae a couple of plans for this
