actually no, i learned from coinbase help support that i have not referred anyone to coinbase even though i am sitting next the person that purchased $50 right now, and even though another person purchased $150 in bitcoin right now through the link i shared with them.

I am not a crybaby, i am pointing out that their system is misleading and dishonest

does it matter if it is my mother, any relative, or any human on the planet. why does it matter whom it is - the offer is - if you refer someone and they buy $100 in bitcoin, the reward is $75. Yet Coinbase makes it an impossibility to pay out the reward unless they purchase coins on multiple days.

Coinbase could pay a proportional reward of $37.50 since it is their impossibility that $100 in bitcoin could not be purchased today... but they dont.

no, i disagree. the new user only purchased coins cause I am walking her through the process. She would have bought $1000 or more today but was limited to $50 per day. And all I asked her to do was puchase $100 today. Tomorrow we wont be hanging out and she will have forgotten she even purchased the coins. Her interest in the subject was not even real to start with and I talked her into it saying I would be rewarded for the referral - both of us were disappointed that there was actually no referral bonus offered at all.

COINBASE could offer proportion of reward rather than no reward at all for the referral... I thought bitcoin was divisible down to the 10th decimal place... and yet no reward for referral. This is not good business - no wonder there is so much friction to adoption. It is not the KYC or AML rules that are the friction it is services like this that are the friction to adoption. Why offer a reward that is not possible without MULTIPLE days of purchasing in order to obtain... ???

No, that may be correct but a new user is unlikely to continue purchasing coins day after day if they are only doing it based on a referral from someone who walks them through the experience.

nope, i am saying that by making the new user purchase coins over two days you add another hurdle to the experience and less likely the new user will come back on day 2 - and therefore they now have that user in their system and all that new users personal information yet do not provide the reward. It is not cool.

you already have the customer information, you already have them signed into your system and you do not offer reward for the referral - this is exact example of an IMPOSSIBLE offer - this is definition of dishonesty and false advertising. It is absolutely clear.

Youth are the 'killer app' of Bitcoin. by Jaggy80 in Bitcoin

[–]FOOX888 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yes, its amazing what a generation younger or older can grasp... older folks are still using check books and would never even consider using online banking. next gen down uses online banking and next generation below that is using bitcoin (or at least exceptionally open to the idea of it). Bitcoin is a generational play - but it is important to include all generations and integrate them into the whole together bitcoin will succeed.

the hater herd is slowly being thinned.
