One thought on the reddit thing, perhaps PotCoin puts more energy toward them because they are seen as the more public outlet of the community. IE, the most likely largest influence on the internet.

Not saying it's wise, just saying, maybe that's why..

Unlike the haters I actually made a suggestion many months ago about how to best use this coin.  You seem to prefer to keep your heads int he sand "oh it's called potcoin it MUST be good".  I'm sure you've read and understand my post so I'll not bother bringing it up again.  You seem to know sooo much.  

Go ahead and ignore me if you don't like what I say.  It's the link labeled "IGNORE" on the left under my name.  



There have been many suggestions made and offers to help ... it seems many are ignored.  Really builds strength of community ... Right??



Make the offers on Reddit and they won't go ignored.  Roll Eyes

Relax, I have nothing to do with mediwipe or either of the other two links I posted.  My point, since the beginning of potcoin, is that there is no point for potcoin.  If potcoin aims to be the bank then they are failing miserably.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank
"A bank is a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities, either directly by loaning or indirectly through capital markets. A bank links together customers that have capital deficits and customers with capital surpluses."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency
"A much more general use of the word currency is anything that is used in any circumstances, as a medium of exchange. In this use, "currency" is a synonym for the concept of money."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity
"In economics, a commodity is a marketable item produced to satisfy wants or needs.  Economic commodities comprise goods and services."

Potcoin is a currency or commodity, not a bank.
If the difference between a bank and cryptocoin is still not clear, then please use this forum.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0

Start a new thread with this title "If Bitcoin aims to be the bank, then it is a miserable failure".



You go right ahead.  I'm happy to argue that bitcoin would be a much better (more stable, better known, larger market, has more utility) choice than potcoin for any dispensary but that's not your point is it?


Secondly...The coin is still 4 months old. 4 months. If you told me 4 months ago that a dispensary would be accepting Potcoin, with ATMs physically located inside the dispensary I would have invested a lot more.

Wasn't that the original goal that was being told to us 4 months ago?


I guess I'm not the only one who remembers why potcoin was launched and what it was designed to do.  You can try to tell us that it was never designed to be the solution for dispensaries.  (I was one of the first to challenge that notion stating clearly that potcoin will NEVER solve the dispensary banking problem... it cannot).  Yet we need to sit through press releases that say "hey a dispensary wasted alot of time and effort to place an ATM machine in their store that nobody has or will ever use".









A legal cannabis industry can benefit from a crypto designed for it. It is an industry in need of better political representation, better organisation, better visibility. The first ATM for potcoin is now in a dispensary, it may well be the first of many. I don't think this thread will benefit from your posts though, why don't you troll elsewhere

Well it's clear all you are doing is attacking me, not actually addressing my comment that potcoin is/was attempting to be the bank for the industry.  Go back a few posts, I'm not the only one who is confused about the statement that potcoin aims to be the industry choice for banking and now is coming out with press releases that says they are maybe going to do some little tiny fraction of the t-shit business at one dispensary.

That's not press worthy.  

And you feel the need to attack me because I brought this to the fore.  Go back to your bridge.





I addressed it right away. I told you to be patient, just like I did the last time you asked similar questions. You just don't like that response.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but your attacking me will not pump the price of potcoin.  Seriously.



Who said anything about price? Just you.

Maybe if you throw enough crap against a wall some of it will stick?

ps. Oh, lol, you are in the industry?  Tell me more I don't believe you.

pps. I didn't say I was influential, don't put words in my mouth.  I said I was knowledgeable (and well researched).

Potcoin is direct competition to the platform you support, Mediswipe. No idea what your involvement in that company is but frankly its irrelevant. But that's why you're in here isn't it? To troll your competition.

Wow, is that all you got?  Attack anyone questioning the greatness of potcoin?  
It's not possible there are actually thinking people who question the reason for this also-ran?

Relax, I have nothing to do with mediwipe or either of the other two links I posted.  My point, since the beginning of potcoin, is that there is no point for potcoin.  If potcoin aims to be the bank then they are failing miserably.

People who ask questions are not always FUD.  But it's easy for you to try to discredit me by using that word.
Now you don't need to attack me just because I question the purpose of the coin oh great namecaller.


* Viceroy thinks you hold too many potcoin and dream of it reaching some astronomical height which it is highly unlikely to ever attain




I called you a troll because you are in fact...a troll. Seriously you're now referring to yourself in the third person here. Not to mention all your talk about how involved you are and how much more aware you are compared to everybody in Colorado. You want to discuss facts but I have yet to see evidence of any sort you are as influential as you say. Just some spouting off about how useless the coin is. That makes you a troll, and why I called you one.

Wasn't that the original goal that was being told to us 4 months ago?

Also, is there a promotion to buy things with POT at the dispensary?  If I have a $20 bill in my hand, and there's no incentive to exchange it for POT at the ATM, won't I just buy what I was going to buy with the $20 bill?  Is there an incentive to exchange?  Like is Rock River giving a 5% discount for using POT?

I'm not knocking the ATM, I just want to know what the marketing angle is to get patients hooked on using it.

Let's not deal with facts or anything...

FUD. Anybody can make up numbers. Your argument might be valid but as long as you're just spit balling numbers with no real facts about anything, you could just as likely be wrong. Nobody will take you seriously otherwise. Especially considering you led off your statement by telling us what a dispensary should or should not sell. Do you own one? I'm not sure you're qualified enough to tell us what they should be selling, or how much they make.

Don't call me FUD brodda... you have no idea what I know.  I know more than 99% of Coloradans on the issue of medical marijuana and it's regulation because I am intimately involved in the industry and started researching it in 2008.  My full time job is "in the industry".  I owned and operated my first dispensary for a year and then went on to work with dozens of shops in managerial positions or higher as I negotiated to acquire them. 

The potcoin-atm story has no weight. 

Going to a "beer store" and buying "bubblegum" is not a real business model. 

So tell me again, what is Potcoin?

Definition of FUD: Fear, uncertainty, and doubt. You doubt the success and validity of the coin, and you're uncertain that it will solve the issues at hand (mainly the banking problem). You clearly fear it because you're in here pushing for people to get out of the coin in favor of what YOU support. So yes...its all FUD.
