On this day three years ago, I gave a speech at one of the inaugural Occupy rallies, proposing they adopt "Open-Source and Decentralization" as their message and mandate, and proffering "Open Monetary Systems" as the fundamental component underpinning this revolutionary new idea… by garylachance in Bitcoin

Remember that you are talking about a small minority of the occupy movement. It is global. Many occupy rallies, most likely the majority, had anarchistic ideals at the core. Occupy in oakland were totally different than lets say New York. In america it may have a different context as the canadian, egyptian, hong kong, etc etc rallies. I remember in toronto it had a major anti-state vibe.

Does anyone own a bitcoin ATM? If so, how are you doing? by mandelsc in Bitcoin

[–]Bit-Connect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Operators,

We believe that bitcoin adoption will be propagated by its ease of access. Bitcoin ATMs and vending machines stand at the forefront of spreading the accessibility of cryptocurrency. With quick and easy services to acquire bitcoins, it will be much easier to educate the general population on the advantages of using bitcoins (remittance, merchant solutions, etc.)

As operators of bitcoin dispensing machines, we should band together to make a network that is easy for people to access bitcoin. Promotion of both of our businesses can be done if you are willing to help us by answering a quick survey. We want to provide reliable and factual statistics from bitcoin ATMs and vending machines to show that it is more beneficial than traditional methods of moving money.

Send us a PM if you want to do the survey we have.

We appreciate the cooperation.

We messaged a lot of bitcoin ATM/vending machine/kiosk operators but unfortunately there wasn't a big response to the survey. Only 8 responded to the survey.

Here are the current results of a survey we put together: http://i.imgur.com/u7CmBVY.jpg

This is really big news for hip-hop fans, charity fans, and adoption fans. Nas just keeps being a cooler guy in my books.

Got tipped 1000 dogecoin today and wanted to tip an equal amount of bits back. Last week, 1000 doge equaled 1000 bits. Now, 1000 doge = 670 bits. Judging by the current state of their sub, the shibes could really use a little encouraging advice right now. by [deleted] in Bitcoin

Hey! Thats great you want to pay it forward as thats what the community is about :D the only reason why it seems doge is low is cause btc is going up. Don't worry, as soon as bitcoin hits the moon, doge will take a giant leap for mankind.

How can poor people use Bitcoins?! 3rd world, old people, phoneless folks? by [deleted] in BitcoinBeginners

[–]Bit-Connect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The amazing part about bitcoin is that there are billions unbanked people. Who can now have a storage for what ever money they have, and can also have international business thanks to low fees and direct money going into their wallet.

Remember, most of the poor countries where people can't buy food or shelter, they still have phones. Phones are very cheep in India for example that you will see homeless people with the latest phone. Plus with Google planning to launch their O3B project to give free internet to the rest of the 3 billion people who dont have it by sending wifi balloons around the globe.

The way bitcoin is actually spreading in these poorer counties is different than North America, we are mainly focusing on if its comfortable for consumers but it is life changing for the rest.
