Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Quote from: BadBear on January 11, 2012, 08:32:02 AM

A marketing genius who's gonna be broke after spending millions on depreciating items then cutting out 99% of the market.

Going the wrong direction with this I think. Bitcoin has always been more of the 99% currency, not the other way around. On the other hand, nobody says we can't try for both.

That's what I was thinking just prior to getting to your last three words, BB. For shits and giggles, perhaps somebody could photoshop a Bitcoin Escape^® card.

The rich already have their swiss bank accounts, tax consultancy services, good investment opportunities etc. Bitcoin offers nothing for them.

I was going through a drive through behind a nice car with a tag that mentioned the guy went to law school. When it was time to pay he flipped the card to the guy in a way that was if to say "I have the super platinum high roller card". He was obviously impressed by himself and his fancy credit card.

This would actually be a good way to get things rolling if it could catch on. Make paying with Bitcoin something reserved for the elite such as having an American Express black card.

Then when you pay with Bitcoin and someone sees it they will have the obvious question of "what is this Bitcoin thing and how do I get my hands on some?"

One way to push this would be to have a Bitcoin company that buys some of the most exclusive things (front row concert tickets, high end tech, penthouse suites, etc...) then have them only available for purchase with Bitcoins.
