Converting bitcoin to fiat? No thanks.

Instead of dropping fiat from the sky to some random people on the street, while everyone forgets it was bitcoin a minute ago, I prefer you take a homeless guy to a restaurant that accepts bitcoin and I WILL PAY for his meal! make a video of me paying a homless guy for the meal across the world with bitcoin! , hell make 20 videos of those kind of ideas!

You do realize that the restaurant would be using a service like bitpay to immediately exchange the bitcoin to fiat, right? Your stance is incredibly ignorant. However, MrDove has repeatedly stated his goal is to encourage others to do similar events. It sounds like he's inspired you to buy a meal for a homeless person and I hope you follow through with your idea. If you want to participate in this idea, the donation address is on the OP as well as my second post. Wink

Sure they will be using Bitpay, I have no doubt.
Ask any reasonable man and woman, what would be a smarter thing to do, throw money from the sky or buy a homeless a hot meal from across the world (which would show how simple it is to donate / transfer money over bitcoin). you can't swipe a credit card at a resaurant from across the world..

You are taking this idea the wrong way!

Instead of dropping fiat from the sky to some random people on the street, while everyone forgets it was bitcoin a minute ago, I prefer you take a homeless guy to a restaurant that accepts bitcoin and I WILL PAY for his meal! make a video of me paying a homless guy for the meal across the world with bitcoin! , hell make 20 videos of those kind of ideas!

No. You idea is just very wrong to begin with. You are trying to promote bitcoin and you think that poor people are just a tool and a dummies who will look nice on a promotional video.. I can assure you poor people do not care about bitcoin at all.

Excuse me, but what was the point of throwing money from the sky to random people on the street? If it's pure donation purpose then I would prefer donating personally.

What was the reason bitcoin created for anyway ?
