Re: Creating Public Awareness for Bitcoin in Singapore

There are regular meet ups here in Singapore which attract quite a large and varied audience/participants.
These are normally organised through Meetup.com, failing that you can speak to David at Coin Republic who is active in that space

Re: UpComing Exchange - Coinster - User Suggestions Thread

My suggestion, create something that bitcoin actually needs.

Another exchange is not needed.
There are numerous already.

There are numerous already but I wouldn't trust any of them with any large amount of BTC or fiat - so create something Bitcoin actually needs - a trustworthy, reliable and quick exchange with proper contact information, details of the owners and ease of use and you've cracked it.
The more exchanges there are... the less liquidity there is Sad

Thank you for your questions and suggestions. I am going to try to answer everyones questions. We are a start up company, that is located in Texas. We are in the process of writing our business module to present it to potential investors. My marketing president is reading out to potential developers non-stop. The interest is huge, due to our unique ideas and projects that are confidential at this point. At this point we are able to potentially obtain 50k+ from investors. This will be spent on the exchange, the iOS and android app that we are developing. We are also putting high emphasize on security and the user friendly interface.


At this point we are not considering a lending features, due to the anonymous and nonreversible nature of bitcoin transactions. But as I said, we are going to give a certain amount of the trading fees back to our users that keep bit coins on their wallets.

Right now, that is all i can share with you guys about the exchange. We are just starting the development of the exchange and the feature in it.

I was just curious what you guys thought about other exchanges and I wanted to get your feedbacks on necessities, that we can make with coinster.

Our homepage is going to be up in the next week on the following website: coinster.co

Our Facebook, and twitter pages are under development as well.

I will keep posted everyone here. As we move forward. Until then I would love to here your feedback on exchanges and your necessities. We will make them happen.

Coinster


As I said, fast money in ....fast money  out...fast response to customer queries.... that should give you a head start.

If you really wanted to be funky then why not setup a portal where I can buy from any exchange through your portal...and you maintain the accounts required on the other exchanges....

Actually, the Chinese government was concerned that some Chinese people might get wealthy without being in their loyalty network, under control.  They want to choke off bitcoin in order to keep the Chinese people as slaves.

But....The Chinese have the resources (whether it be in Gold or USD) to buy vast amounts of BTC and have some measure of control... considering the "semi-pro" US response to BTC i would have thought that they would try to buy it up in order to control... as they are doing with gold reserves.... this would offer them some future-proofing just in case.....

You're both pathetic backwater scum. Now take it somewhere else.
who is "both"
Take a wild guess....
Not paying to much attention to non-relevant nonsense tbh..... however I hope their parents come home soon.
I can only speculate that their Playstations don't work so they cannot heckle people on Call Of Duty or BattleField.....hence they come here to vent the abundance of teenage testosterone.....

As soon as the boy can work up the balls crawl over to his daddy with his head and eyes hanging low and asking for handouts because he got himself into debt he can't repay Smiley

On topic, bitcoin doesn't need anyone's 'approval', definitely not chinese one. Why should bitcoin care since it has been having ups and downs since the beginning, slow and sure upward trend, increasing bubble amounts each year, and growing userbase?

The only thing chinese did is to speed up the schedule of the inevitable large bubble. Even if every single chinese withdrew from bitcoin, the schedule will continue and leave china in the dust.

 

Going back to the article in question, it seem to be a lot more "anti" than previous articles.... if we assume that it was state sponsored/sanctioned, then we have to speculate that the tide is indeed turning for the worse.
Whilst i don't believe that china will be a deal breaker, i have to admit that it would have been in the best interests of the bitcoin community if China had got behind it, or even tolerated it's existence within their borders.

As I said, we don't need china for bitcoin. If you observed the trends, you can clearly see that this current bubble was an ahead-of schedule anomaly.

If the chinese quit, bitcoin will return to its original schedule, and reach each bubble slower. That's all. There's little stopping its rise unless serious regulations are placed by larger and more powerful governments.

Regulation is a necessary evil for mass adoption.......whether people like it or not

That is right. Unfortunately, too many day dreamers and kids on this forum bitching about the US government has yet to realize this completely. Where was all the necessary hate towards the PRC? They were the ones to first really beat down on bitcoin.

The big factor is not regulation - it's an actual shutdown due to extremely strict regulations. Some regulations will help bitcoin by providing stable and safer way for general public to get into it.

In conclusion, chinos can go fuck themselves. Crypto will continue, and will not need their 'help'.

An almost rational reply.......totally spoilt by a racist comment.....come on HP...no one will take you seriously if you continue this path.
Most "chinos" i know disagree with their government policies that same way that many americans and europeans do.... please don't judge a nation based on the policy dictated to them by the few....

I am so fucking pissed at this bitch right now.
She could as well ask for banning all fiat money because dealers on the streets use it... Some people are insanely idiots.  Undecided

Dude, she just lost her son, of course she will be irrational. Don't blame her for having emotions, blame the idiots that overreact to this shit, i.e. politicians and the media.

She attacked something I like. That is not a safe place to stand ...

Her 21 year old son. An adult, capable of making his own decisions without any influence from anyone else decided to use an anonymous website to buy his cocaine with bitcoin instead of driving to his local crack alley to buy some.

I'm sure this was the first time he had ever decided to use? I'm sure he had never done anything like this before? It's only because of bitcoin he turned to doing drugs right?

Are you saying I'm saying it's because of bitcoin, or she is saying it's because of bitcoin? I never said anything like that. I, as a completely rational, outside observer, can easily see bitcoin is not at all to blame. You, as a completely rational, outside observer, can also. She, however, is incapable of being rational due to the loss of her son, and needs something to focus on other than maddening grief. Bitcoin became that focus. It's irrational, but it doesn't make her an idiot. It makes her human. Cut her some slack, and blame the people who deserve it: politicians kowtowing to the irrational rantings of a grieving woman to get votes, and the media for exploiting said irrational woman to get ratings/fulfill an agenda.

As for him being 21, totally irrelevant to my argument. Your kids don't matter less to you, nor does it hurt less to lose them, simply because they're adults. To blame this woman is to lose focus on what is really important: politicians and the media sucking balls.



No I'm simply saying that her son was an adult who made adult decisions and bitcoin was not the cause or reason for his drug use. He was old enough to make his own educated decisions. He was old enough to know better. I'm sure this wasn't his first encounter with drugs either. She and her son are being touted as the poster child for anti bitcoin enthusiasts.

You could also argue that he snorted it through a dollar bill......lets ban fiat also!

Seriously....If people are gonna do drugs they will find a way...simple.
People should be responsible for their own choices of what they choose to do with their own bodies and put inside their own bodies.
So whats next, a boy drowns...so they ban water???.....Aus is becoming a Nanny state

I'm big fan of Bitcoin Ticker page but placing this news as breaking it looks like spreading of panic to me. Another obscure portal, with non relevant article which has nothing in common with title, check for yourself.

As quoted many times.....the Dollar/Physical Fiat is the currency of choice for most criminal activity.

Some of the harshest words I've seen coming out of China recently. All though this paper (based in hong kong) isn't government owned by mainland China the owner of this paper has long been "pro beijing" and it has history of firing editors who have said anything deemed negative about the government in mainland china.

No way to prove it, but having experience reading/watching pro beijing news I suspect some of the comments to be 'fake' as well... such as:   Great article, Andy Xie, this is the most intelligent and well informed writing on Bitcoin. "Bitcoin is a bubble that foreigners cooked up and, by all appearances, is designed to rob the credulous Chinese masses" This is the most courageous statement and highly significant.

I hope Hong Kong follows too, it would make sense for China to be cautious about bitcoin for now but allow HK to be the forefront of this tech and see how it plays out.


I'd love to work in a bitcoin startup for a few years in Singapore or HK
We have a thriving BTC community out here, and Singapore only narrowly lost out to HK in receiving the first ATM.

I also know a few people that are making some big in-roads into Macau... considering the 17million Chinese mainlanders that come each year to "speculate" at the casino's..... this could be very interesting.....

what are the fees for the ATM's and the price margin from the exchanges

From what I understand the fees are set by the operators of the ATMs.. I spoke briefly with Jordan (CEO of Robocoin), But if you are genuinely interested i can send you the information I have.

Singapore again leads the region into new technology.  In a press release today, David Moskowitz (owner of Coin Republic) explains that his company received very positive news from Singapore’s tax authorities (IRAS) pertaining to the guidance on handling “capital gains, earnings, and even GST (sales tax) on bitcoin exchanges and bitcoin related sales.”





http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/01/08/sinagapore-recognizes-bitcoin-gives-guidance/

David is actually very well known in the Bitcoin world in Singapore.
I have used Coin republic a few times, and David is a good guy

Disagree
Singapore has a big and active BTC community....I have been here 3 years and have seen it grow
The MAS (Monetary Authority Singapore) have taken a relatively benign stance.

Let me put it this way..... this is the country that have banned chewing gum throughout the entire country because it makes the pavement look messy.
The same country where spitting and jaywalking is a jail term....... trust me....... they are playing the waiting game and hedging bets.....
