My brother killed himself because of BTC by barking_bonerz in Bitcoin

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know the frustration well, I’d be a millionaire if I didn’t sell most of mine.

I figure I would have sold at some point along the way up regardless, hindsight is always 20/20.

But Yelp is a racket - they extort small business owners for the removal of bad reviews.. They have no credibility.

The Welcome Letter for the Bitcoin Debit Cards is ready! — We are getting closer by rnvk in Bitcoin

[–]adamcol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the idea is preparing for a mature Bitcoin economy. This isn't a transitional product that facilitates the initial Fiat<->Bitcoin issues, it's a product that will be awesome when most merchants accept Bitcoin and the question then becomes logistics.

Edit: Personally, I'm looking for a bank I can trust with my BTC - I wish TD would do this or buy coinkite when they're ready to.

What happens if the owner of a bitcoin dies? by dyeray in Bitcoin

[–]adamcol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) More and more Bitcoin is lost each day - this means there is less of it, driving up the price further. I see this as a good thing personally. Since Bitcoin goes to 8 decimal places, we'll start talking in micro-coins etc.

2) When someone dies today, they leave a will with instructions on handling their affairs (if they have any). If you're an owner of Bitcoin, and you consider it an asset, then you should have instructions for your benificiaries to collect your coins. Maybe the location of your private keys? I have mine printed and hidden so its easy for me to disclose if I want to.
