The time will show how good their services are.

They say "CryptoSigma is the first Platform to offer a Bitcoin wallet that gives you the choice to Auto Exchange any received bitcoin into the currency of your choice."

But there's quite a lot companies offering similar services around, right?

What makes them special then?

My vote exactly - thanks for writing them out for me

This is really cool. Not really a bitcoin thing, but I'm sure most of us are probably interested in the disruptive potential of such mesh networks like Firechat

You're not forced. You're welcome to mine your own blocks. You can get to work with a pencil and paper here => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dqhixzGVo

Bitcoin won't get hurt though, blocks will continue to get mined and the blockchain will grow. It doesn't care.
If you mean in terms of value, the price will just skyrocket in Australia. Prohibition of any kind will just make it more valuable.

I'm pretty sure coinbase or bitpay have that feature. Instant buyback or somthing.

I think it's the FED's Snowden.

I've never used one of these atms. Can you just buy btc or does it dispense cash as well?

And there's a reason why Pokerstars currently doesn't accept users from the USA. Exchanges open to Americans will have to comply with American rules, that's for sure.

I think in terms of creating a global currency from the ground up, this is still VERY early adoption. Still plenty of work that needs to be done.

How do you think they got rich ?

I don't follow this reasoning at all. The shareholders are voting on the current transaction ledger. You can only change this by controlling how the majority of shareholders vote. You also have to manipulate the vast majority of delegates into participating.

In the case of 100+ BTC. I's very simple. 2 things. One, you want to keep an eye on that, so as they don't just disappear over night. Two you want that off-line, far from the prying hand of hackers!

My suggestion, is break it down into 4 paper wallets, generated off-line, 25+ each. Each using a unique pass-phrase or password. Paper wallets are stored in a plastic zip-lock bag for moisture protection. The private keys associated with their corresponding public key should be copied to a SD, USB, or a removable media device by an off-line computer, and that to should be zip for moisture!

Paper wallets can be stored in a safety deposit box, along with the SD/USB device at a local bank. No sense in banking crypto if your gonna have a version hanging around the house.

The four keys should be installed in view mode only on an Application such as Mycelium, or links to the blockchain should be created in your browser, as to keep an eye on them as you move from day to day!

If long term banking is required, then only passwords can be kept around the house, say in a cookie jar, picture frame, etc.
Enjoy crypto man it's alot of fun!

Just look at Kashmir Hil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSfFdMeORO0l, a real live reporter for Forbes (as in, not a contributor) who was one of MSMs earliest bitcoin proponents. And the first reporter to live on only what she could buy with bitcoin for a week.
Forbes actually has a very good track record in terms of positive bitcoin articles.

No!
Bitpay is a scumbag company. Im sure they got ties ro the government because of their size.
Whaf the hell is the point of bitcoin if u create just a another bank

Businesses pass their costs off to consumers, that's kind of how they fundamentally operate.

You seem to have a fundamental lack of understanding of how cryptography works.

Have you read (and understood) the source code?
I haven't/can't. I don't know anyone I trust who can/has, either.
Now, don't get me wrong, I still believe in bitcoin. But like I said, I can't use that reassurance if I'm being honest with myself.

Better anonymity and privacy tools/ protocols (I think these will come, though, just not there yet)
