Some say its an asset, who really cares?  It seems that more and more are willing to place their fortunes behind it!

As i said, its work in progress.

New games will be updated in the coming few weeks, also we are in the process of finalising a players promotional program. Updates will follow shortly.

We use the same platform and service providers as bitcasino.io. New upgrades to come shortly, will advise.

In the meanwhile, looking forward to hearing your experience with this platform.

Cheers.

Please check out a new bitcoins casino, let me know what you think.

unfortunately no.

I'm using this free online survey as, well its free, and I wasn't sure what the response rate would be like.  And being free, it's not so flexible.

Should this survey turn out well, will research to find a better and flexible solution.

Yep, just posted it now, lets see which forum has more active and opinionated members! :-)

u think so?

Well its a fact that in Africa, due to its' lack of infrastructure (towns with lack of adequate power supply, risks of carrying cash, remoteness of towns, etc etc), banks offer an ewallet service that functions via mobile phone.  like a charge card.  It functions extremely well.

It's similar to the idea behind BTC, in terms of transactions.  Although its governed by the banking sector (Gov'ts).

I believe, that as the world is becoming liberalized  from a cultural and social point of view, then the idea of BTC is not at all far fetched.

You see the trick is, as you rightly put it 'true believers' are those who are the driving force.  And are so due to the fact of the industry they are associated with - IT, Finance, Engineers, who are more than common with the jargon behind BTC.  So it makes some sense to them.  If the idea was simplified (mainly through allowing everyday transactions to take place), then it would appeal to a wider community.

Imagine today if hard currency did not exist.  The governments would say, hey guys lets print a unified design and call it money. This 'money' will be linked to a complex model governed by government bonds and gold reserves.  So I will give you this some of this paper and you will give me your car.  But with the paper you can purchase another asset.  I'm sure half the world would say, yeah right!  Could you imagine when Chris Columbus came to the US and offered the Indians a few nickels in exchange for product, i am sure they would have laughed???

What I am saying in this gruesome monologue, the average punter doesn't think too much.  Trends occur because decision makers say its ok.  If everyone jumped on BTC, then for 90% of the population they say , yeah, why not?

I mean take the mobile phone industry.  I guarantee you that 90% of smart phone users forked out top dollar for the latest model because it has the newest and sophisticated features - that simply they don't need or use (or even do not know how to use).  But hey, its what you do!

So more places to spend = more chance for BTC price to grow!

And so what if he is... what changes? Not much!

im curious to know, everyone is so speculative on this forum - waiting for the price to go up.  Sure, that's fine.  But if the value BTC is a supply/demand driven currency, then where is all the focus to open up new channels to spend BTC?

Simply put, the end of the road will come quickly if everyone is buying and waiting for the demand to go up - without any new channels?  It simply doesn't make 'sustainable' sense.

So where are the future initiatives to incorporate BTC in daily transactions?

lol...the speculation of bitcoin continues to grow...in every facet.... i think if the real Satoshi put his hand up, no one would believe....

hmmmm...no more takers?

Hi all, 50 surveys in, would be nice to have another 50 (at least)... appreciating your support.

So I guessed well, you're from Turkey?

So we can monitor you arkadaş!

;-)

Yes S4VV4s, i work for Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı, or MİT

xDan, thanks for the advice

Wow, thanks XDan. This guy managed to encourage 1000 users to respond.  I'm obviously doing something wrong as to date i have 46? Or is this forum lame :-p

I'd like to at least draw 100 repsondents to have resonable faith that the results would provide some concrete directional thinking.as i said a starting point, to know how to progress further.

I will try to dig a bit deeper into the results of the survey you posted, it may help with understanding a little but better the btc person :-)

? It was you who asked the Q about drugs and silk road???  It seems like your asking and answering your own question?

Anyway to you point - yes BTC is about anonymity, which would immediately make it an interesting payment method for the sex industry - you may claim to not subscribe to it, but many do for many reasons. Who's to judge.

Thanks for re-assuring the forum about your sex life, not sure if that was a question at all, but like all therapy questions it's good to get things off your chest, helps you move on with life.  Happy to help the fellow man!

Now to the point, little is know about BTC consumption and to help in small ways to bring some empirical data to the table would be great. Unfortunately there is not much known about this topic and the more facts and figures available the higher the chance that such a currency can be scale-able to daily needs.   In order to move BTC from a fad to reality it needs to become mainstream as possible.  And opinions won't help the cause...

If anyone has other published data on this topic, feel free to share.  I am struggling to find anything online.  So this is my starting point...

Exactly.... if BTC is a global business, the global solutions are also of much warrant.  I understand the emotional need to be a local patriot.  However, business functions on rationality.  I'm sure that the UK banking and Govt sector would react quicker if they would see the 'potential' being exploited by other more 'open' governments and institutions.  I mean, for instance, NIKE had no issue with shifting their manufacturing to South East Asia, as they firmly believed that it was good for business.  Not sure if they were to worried about 'local patriotism'?

Lets be fair, if Bitstamp was formed in the US and not Slovenia, would they have achieved their success??

I'm sure Malta would be very interested in you :-)
