Bitcoin (BTC)
30^th Jun, 2015 at 12:19am

Got this message from coinbase today:

Quote:

No Fees This Week When Buying Bitcoin with Euros

One of the main benefits of bitcoin is that it allows people to take control of their own wealth. Recent events in Greece have brought attention to this situation as the Greek banks have closed and limited customers to withdrawing 60 Euros per day.

We feel that all Europeans should educate themselves on the benefit of using a global currency that is not controlled by any particular country or company. As part of our effort to make it easy for anyone to buy and sell bitcoin all over the world, we’re pleased to announce that for the next week Coinbase customers buying and selling bitcoin with Euros will have their fees waived.

The rest is here:

Interesting.. with the mess going on around here, I've heard a lot of people talking about giving bitcoin a chance..

I haven't looked into it lately so does anyone know if it has been somewhat "stable" lately?

However there's this other thing.. while checking my web banking account I've noticed today that international bank transfers are blocked until further notice.. so I guess I couldn't use bank transfer for that purpose as well.. Smiley

The same goes for PayPal as I can't TopUp my account without a bank transfer as well..

Thankfully I can load my Payza account as that seems to be an actual purchase instead of a transfer. But I'm not sure how usable my money will be there apart from the PTC industry..

Somewhat being the keywork, and it registered a low on Jan 14 (164 USD) and a high in March 11 (292 USD). But it has been consistently above 200USD in the last trimester.

Yes, it has become quite stable recently. That could change if the financial markets go into turmoil though but I think the volatility will be in BTCs favor.

Here is a chart

I don't know if you can transfer from payza to BTC but I know for a fact you can transfer from BTC to payza. I was thinking of doing that myself

Well, it seems that they've locked us in completely..
We are no longer able to purchase anything outside of Greece not even using a credit card..
So, I'm glad I made my domain renewals and ad purchases during the weekend..
Also I managed to put some money on Payza as a backup.. but bitcoin is out of reach as well now..
Let's see how this week will go..

I am grieved for you my friend. I hate banksters.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse:

By the way, this is not new. This is how these crooks operate. It is an age old gameplan HUNDREDS of years old. We need to educate people on how these crooks work or they will take it worldwide and do it to every person on the planet. These country by country takedowns are just the practice rounds. So warn and teach everyone who will listen

They call it your money until they mess up. Then they call it their money

Wow! TCFJI Is online.

If you want to understand the money system, read this:

If you want to understand how the bankers crashed the US markets in 1929 and brought about the great depression, read chapter 23 called the great duck dinner. Greece has just been invited to dinner this week. If you want a clear understanding of exactly what is happening, read chapter 23

I needed my first Bitcoins really quick, so I resorted to an exchanger called xbtc.co, which allows exchanging Paypal to Bitcoin, although the transfers are expensive and limited.
We're limited to 60NZD every 3 days and for exchanging 10USD, the fees were about 16%. So yeah, not something you'd use often, but does help in a pinch since the transfer can be as fast as a couple of minutes (it was for me).
It does have a kind of referral link (not really referral since you don't tecnhically sign up for anything) which does allow to earn some comssions from referral transactions. If you ever need to use it please tell me.

yes, it is advertised in the MTV monitor section. It was created by one of their members to fill a need and seems to be quite popular with many satisfied customers. The NZD is a bit of a puzzle. I wonder how many people they lost because they don't deal in USD? The double conversion must put off a lot of people.

That site will grow though. I have a gut feeling that it will be big (unless the 'authorities' go after it which is very possible)

I am in the big leagues of programmers now. I was able to change the subject to Bitcoin to make this thread more relevant.

OK, BTC is on the move again. Up $75 in a week. The 30 Trillion in Chinese savings is supposedly the reason...again

true but it is not as much like a stock. Due to the depreciating value of currencies, the long term trend should be up. I use it as a hedge against the Canadian currency knowing the C$ is being devalued on a regular basis. It is a way to preserve my capital. The bitcoins I have I don't plan on selling for a long time or in the case of an emergency

If I need to use them in net marketing, I will convert them from C$ to BTC immediately so there is little risk in me losing significantly on the transaction.

One nice thing about coinbase is that they will give you a wallet for your currency and not just for BTC so if you need to make a large purchase, you can save up for it and then transfer it at the last moment. That way you cut out volatility

and also, if BTC goes to 50K I'll definitely be using it in my marketing Wink
