Hello All,

A group of bitcoin true believers, led by foundation member Nick Spanos, is opening a Bitcoin Center on 40 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan. The goal is to have a location in which interested people can come to be educated and integrated into the Bitcoin economy.

The location assures it will get plenty of attention and this could be a huge boon for bitcoin in 2014.

We are having a grand opening new years eve party at the location and all are invited.

This is pretty cool I wish them success with their center.

I wonder though what is their business model, how will they make enough money to cover the insane wallstreet rents and then some Huh

I did see that some bigwig hedge fund guy is opening a BTC fund. It is becoming mainstream but I think it's just taking a while.

40 Broad St is a building of condos, not a business address. There's an art gallery/event space there, so that's probably where they held the party.

This kind of news is so great, it really highlights why Bitcoin is destined to crush all other payment methods. Nothing else has this level of enthusiasm behind it.

Can you imagine any unpaid volunteers donating time and money to create a PayPal Center, a Visa Center, a Dwolla Center, or even a Federal Reserve Note center?

We have relentless in-your-face persistence and martyrs on our side. The other teams have nothing but mercenaries and traitors. There is only one possible outcome.

yep, very true.

i wish the best for that project!

and what was the big announcement

?

Frankly yes it is a very cool information that people like Nick are contributing extensively to promote the bitcoins. I wish he succeed in his mission of popularizing the bitcoins and for sure I will visit the place when I have my visit in New York. Probably in February I have to go to New York so will see it with my naked eyes

At .03 BTC donation for the party it must have been off the hook. Any idea how many were there?

This is fantastic.

It was literally two weeks ago that we were discussing doing exactly this in a smaller, more boutique form deployable in certain fashionable New York and San Francisco neighborhoods... Which is probably still a good idea, by the way!
