Paying in bitcoin! http://imgur.com/JX5qPwB

Damn! Those ribs look huge compared to the crap you get at places like Montana's. Those waffle fries look amazing as well. Good to see more and more places accepting bitcoin.  There is a local burger chain where I live where you can pay with bitcoin at one of their locations.  It's a place called Vera's Burgers.  Hands down, the best burgers around locally. 

I WISH I could find a good rib place in and around Vancouver, they just don't seem to exist.   Sad

If I'm ever in Toronto I know where to go for ribs now, thnaks!
Let us know we might join you haha get some bitcoin at our ATM before you buy Tongue
Nice! Those ribs look great too! If you don't mind me asking where is that restaurant?
Its in Toronto bloor and bathurst.

Very cool! Did waitress accept tip in BTC?

Naa, we asked but they don't have their own server tip thing. I'm saying the servers could just print out their own QR codes though since tips go to them anyways.

Re: What's everyone's bitcoin story?
by

I heard about Bitcoin from a friend of mine Len Sassaman, a cryptographer. 
This was back in 2011, I believe.

After he passed away he was memorialized in the blockchain, you can check it out in this topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33618.msg420597#msg420597

Sorry about your loss but his knowledge he gave about cryptography and bitcoin you can hopefully help spread more good.

I use to hear about bitcoin thrown up on forums and just read comments about how great it is around 2011 but I didn't look into until my friend started buying some at around 12 bucks. But it wasn't for big investments or anything, so time went on and summer of 2013 a group of us friends decided it would be the right time to start mining but last minute we backed out and we seen the difficulty levels just start to rise and decided to just help other people get it by spreading ATM-like machines.

Kevin Newman (CTV NEWS) says bitcoin is the financial story of our time.
by

on 26/04/2014, 18:48:50 UTC
The TV was on in the background and the bitcoin logo and words caught my attention as they flicked on my screen for half a second. It was the Kevin Newman Live introduction on CTV which flashes many images.  So I asked him what he thinks about bitcoin, and its good to see someone in the media who believe in the technology behind bitcoin being a big innovation. He said its the  financial story of our time.

Here is the entire tweet with the youtube video

But if you dont care for tweets then heres a screen cap of the tweet

and here is the video of the introduction with the bitcoin images. (Keep your eyes in the middle at 0:03 and 0:10)

Hi everybody, I'm looking for sharing a double room at any hotel nearby.
I'll be traveling from Argentina and BTW, I'm founder of the Local Bitcoin Foundation.

Anyone interested?

try http://www.urbanlivingsuites.com/ they accept bitcoin
or
try https://www.airbnb.ca/ they usually cheaper than hotel rooms and the owners could give you some good information about Toronto city.

Well when you use the Robocoin ATM for the first time it will be a one-time registration. After the first use it will become a lot quicker as you have registered with us already.

We are spreading bitcoin in Toronto by sponsoring Gaming Tournaments & Contest.
by

on 23/03/2014, 01:26:49 UTC
Hello everyone!
We have contacted the Toronto Dota 2 Community and have matched their prizes for the graphics design contest. It has been successful and have happily spread the love of bitcoin through this contest. Because of this we had the community talking and discussing about what is bitcoin and how it works and had positive support from the members.

Here is their facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TorontoDota/ and it started conversations about the nature of bitcoin

Also there is an internet cafe, Log-inn Cafe Gaming, and have put up a $50.00 in bitcoin prize! and its good to see people who know about bitcoin now getting into it simply because of this and many more are learning about it. The tournament is still in progress but it is going good.
We plan on doing more as time goes by Smiley Love this community.

Here is their facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=633603950027417

Any advice on better ways to advertise to communities to help spread bitcoin in manners such as these? We are going to try to do more contests and events  Smiley

on 10/02/2014, 20:51:51 UTC
We are a Toronto based start-up and we recently launched our website. Please critique us as we are always trying to get better! We really want to get the word out to more Torontonians about the Bitcoin movement as it seems like a lot of people in Toronto have heard about Bitcoin but don’t know too much about it. We hope to build a stronger infrastructure for people that live within Toronto and people that are visiting this beautiful city to have a better way to spend and obtain Bitcoins.

Check out the website: http://bitconnect.ca/

If you guys want to stay up-to-date with us, follow us on twitter and like us on Facebook as we plan on doing giveaways and provide news about Bitcoin in Toronto.

People press their luck with investing. People that do succeed in investing are sitting on more bitcoin than they initially invested. I personally just broke even and currently investing elsewhere in the bitcoin market. It is up to the person if they want to hold or not, hoarding doesn't keep bitcoin going but actually using and spending them does.
