What if WordPress just doesn't want to support terrorists?



You'd need to ask HSBC, they're pro at laundering money to terrorist organizations.

Yeah, but HSBC does a bunch of other stuff, too.  Bitcoin?  Well, there's this...

Not only HSBC but Bank of America as well:

The moral of the story is if you have enough billions of dollars, the system will usually the turn the other cheek.

That's a good news and I hope they start accepting it soon. Bitcoin is still a growing crypto currency and more websites should start accepting it.

Knock fuckin' knock, Bitcoiner.

It seems we are getting conflicting information.

I find it puzzling.

bitcoin tab for payment has now mysteriously vanished on WordPress, the web's most popular blogging system!

When they add it again it will be a small bullish sign  Wink

So much ado about what is essentially a code refactoring... Smiley

http://ma.tt/2015/02/on-wordpress-com-and-bitcoin/

I expect they'll add it back at some point. But I can fully understand it not being a priority target for that system at present.

Clueless people tend to go with fads, they probably thought "wow Bitcoin is going up might as well accept it" and added it on their website as a payment. Went it went down they backpeddled. These people have no long term notion or even know the implications of the technology. They'll be back.

You're pretty right on that!
When bitcoin rises , we will  see wordpress accepting bitcoins again Cheesy Cheesy

Where's buy now button ??  Huh

I don't see that. Just text 'upgrade now' below 'start free trial'


Login to your blog's dashboard and click the store link.
url will look like this: "yourusername.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php"

It's same. Not working.

...Clueless people tend to go with fads...

They sure do.  And cling to those fads long after everyone else has moved on.
Because admitting that it was just a fad is simply too painful.
What method of suicide are you going to use after you realize you missed the boat twice? I've heard jumping off very tall buildings is pretty effective. You could join the wordpress guys.

Also non-reversible payments might be a great thing for vendors but 99% of consumers are going to stick with reversible credit card payments (and don't see the costs anyway as they are generally hidden by the vendor).

For bigger purchases, sure, but for smaller ones it's not that important.
Plus you have to remember that in many countries where credit cards are relatively new payment method reversing card payment is not that easy, may take many months and most customers don't know about it!
Bank transfers are also usually non-reversible but are very popular method of payment in many places in the world.

We need to encourage use of Bitcoin not just trade or hoard. All of us should use Bitcoin everywhere we can instead of fiat and that would most possibly speed up bitcoin race to becoming mainstream payment processor. If wordpress had lot of bitcoin income they would not remove that option.

No.  What you should do is convince others to buy Bitcoin.
If each one of us just convinced two people (friends/family/unattended children) to buy Bitcoin, the price would skyrocket because math.

Ppl would buy Bitcoin only if they can use it and when Bitcoin goes mainstream price will skyrocket and you will have easy job to convince few people to buy some and rise allready skyrocketed price bit more. By then best we can do is to encourage use of bitcoin (trying to convince merchants and bussnisses to accept bitcoin and educating close ppl about and actualy use bitcoin).
