Everytime I see a Western Union death thread, it fails to point out that WU has been experiencing record growth and profits over the past few years, so Bitcoin hasn't been making any sort of dent in it.

snip

Western Union share price for 5 years, massively underperforming the S&P 500 (red line).
Note that the drop at the end of oct 2013 coincides exactly with the first Bitcoin BTM at Vancouver which was a huge media event and preceded the $1150 run-up. WU claimed their share price was hit by "cost overhead from increased money transmission regulations" though it suffered in Oct 2012 too (more regulations then as well?)

not to mention that people are still making a comparison between bitcoin and big company that have a long history behind it, they were not born yesterday and skyrocketing overnight

this generation can't udnerstand bitcoin, we need to get rid of the old mentality to embrace bitcoin better

A totally decentralized remittance method, that abstracts away all the complexities of bitcoin would be ideal. I like localbitcoins but it's centralized so if they are down everything is down, plus fees are large for small traders in the developing world, should be a free market of exchange fees.

it will be possible to incorporate in on top of open bazar, therefore it will work as a decentralized market and exchange, the ultimate platform for anything related bitcoin
