You guys forgot to put the 1-2% it costs to buy the BTC then the 1-2% to sell it! You also forgot to put the hoops you have to jump through to buy bitcoin. Much tougher then filling out a form at WU.

For those who have not seen this comparison:

Recently Western Union filed a claim with Facebook (original location of image) alleging that the image infringed its copyright.
Is this a sign that WU finally sees Bitcoin as a threat?

No. You can't copyright a picture. This is a trademark. In US law, if a company does not vigorously defend their trademarks, they lose them. That is why you will see this all the time, a huge company filing suit against some small individual for things that hardly bare any resemblance at all. They have to be able to demonstrate that they are enforcing their trademarks who they stand a chance of losing them. It has nothing at all to do with perceiving something as a threat.

crazy that such a big company cares about that shit Cheesy

You mean 'shit' as in such images, or that the ad is 'shit'? Because the 2nd thing wouldn't make much sense.
The AD is great. If Bitcoin was not so volatile, everyone should switch like right now.

It's just like
FU Bitcoin we know were way overcharged but we provide these services and you don't
Whistle whistle whistle
(Which btw cost us at most a dollar) 2%
The rest is our profit margin Grin

(Gotta love the 8% on 50 dollar rake)

What a stupid move by WU, worst case scenario (for them) this just causes these images to go viral Grin

They are total idiots they have given this small issue of marketing so much attention yet fail to address the fact that Bitcoin shits all over their service in every way possible

Either western union is behind Bitcoin or they are total fuck sticks

Instead of fighting against a new technology these companies should embrace it.

But hey, I can see why they don't like that image Cheesy

Large companies like this go after small firms all the time for things (ads, logos, ect) that may even be remotely similar.

Yea I saw someone posting a simillar comparaison between Bitcoin & Wester Union and I guess that the fact WU responded to it means that it is actually a big threat to them.
