And sold $130000 stuff in oepning day.  Shocked
I must launch e-commerce soon.

Dude majority of the shoppers there are women.. So you know.. i guess only half of that would have actually been used to buy stuff that is really required. Wink

but you could and be protected because cash has protections.

BTW, How can you send a bunch of cash from one place to another by pressing few buttons?


online transfer, add their account/routing number and type in amount and click transfer.
you can use a credit card.
you can do a ebay purchase
you can use paypal.

How is any of those equivalent to cash? Cold hard cash?

You do understand that a bank charges escrow with huge charges right?

hmmmm! but those have limits and usually takes some time

Bitcoin doesn't  Wink

no time and no protection.
I love and mine btc/ltc, but my point is it will never go mainstream IMO without those protections

How can cash provide you protection, in its true form cash does not  protect you. The banking  systems like credit cards and VC are centralized so it provides consumer  protection and some protection from theft. Cash can be stolen, it can be over inflated and it can be manipulated with ease, who will protect you against that?

imo btc will never be accepted mainstream until there is some protections, like cash affords us.

like a way to get people from defrauding you or stealing your wallet.

You also do not send loads of cash from one place to another by pressing few buttons.

This is a huge and a fantabulous news. Atleast this should take the rates across 1000 mark.

Next would be their competitors like Home Depot, Lowe's and finally Walmart (probably).!
