I thought that admittedly, but that's too narrow minded, and renegates the vies of bitcoin to that of Ponzi.

Exactly. Infinite loops n'all that. I had smoke coming out my backside....

The wealth creation in designing a means for people to spend Bitcoins as currency for other non-mining products and services is yet to be embraced and exploited...

+1. But I've had 30+ years to try and work out schemes to get people to part with their fiat.....and failed miserably Sad

So I'm not holding out much hope regarding my chances with crypto's, in all honesty Wink

I'm just enjoying the intellectual exercise I reckon

cue the nosy marketing research dataminers...

as a not perfect example, think of the boon of oilmen in North Dakota. For sure there are people trying to figure out a profile of the newly rich backyard drillers.. what type of personaility do they have up there? do they have lots of kids? how's the culture? etc... then you cater your products and marketing to it and hope you're not completely stupid looking.

but with bitcoin you have two things.. newly rich folk like the above to target, and also a new eco-center of money that would be good to expand and keep it churning.. velocity is what they call it in those education towers..

So for miners.. what's their profile? loners in need of fresh air? make a travel agency that takes bitcoins.. gamblers? they still don't have full sportsbooks that flow with bitcoins from what I know of.. not talking satoshi dice here

maybe solar panels?

I placed my bets with Saturns, and some Avalon/DIYs and have a few USBees and my ModMiner.. time to move to the marketplace/economy boards I guess
