Re: Nearly 70% of Bitcoin users earn less than $100,000 annually - Coindesk

Seems like a pretty dumb & pointless stat/article - 70% of bitcoin users earn less than 100k USD a year.
I'm pretty sure if you walk into a normal bar & take a survey - 70% of people earn less than 100k USD a year.
Just seems like people who earn 100k USD a year are sort of in the minority any way if you took a national average.

Struggling to see why they've bothered running that story, most of the world is on less than 100k USD a year, that's a pretty decent salary  Grin
Coindesk - You are running a shit article here **leaves**


That was not the title of the article, but this forum thread.....

Re: Looking for people that will write a review for my bitcoin website

I'm not going to write anything for you but may I suggest that you should propose your websites to various websites like coindesk,coinbuzz and cointelegraph.
They might be kind enough for a press release. I doubt they'll just give you a press release, you may need to pay and it since they're mainstream websites, they possibly going to cost a lot. It will generate a substantial amount of visitors to your website however, so look into that.

Hi

We do not write press releases. A PR company does that and can send news to news@coindesk.com

You can't pay for a review on CoinDesk.com.

Many thanks

To the author of this article- you should seriously consider getting into a new line of work.

For what it's worth, the linked site is one of those "pay for an article" type websites, like CoinDesk. The "article" probably didn't cost WC more than 25 bucks.

I take offence at this. CoinDesk is certain not a "pay for article" type website.

You must be thinking of Buzzfeed: http://tktk.gawker.com/buzzfeed-deletes-post-critical-of-dove-a-buzzfeed-adve-1696852834

Yes, CoinDesk don't allow us to pay with Bitcoin for their new service. Huh Undecided I don't think they must pay with Bitcoin for their employees but they must accept Bitcoin as payment method.

I think they should be boycotted until they accept bitcoin. Paying your employees in bitcoin should at least be an option but not accepting them as payment for ads or whatever is ridiculous. Clearly they don't really care about bitcoin other than the money they can make off it.

Hi - just to address some of these points.

The self-serve ad platform does accept bitcoin - https://ads.coindesk.com/



As does Tinypass, which we use to sell Research.



I'm working with the partner to get BTC payments on the deals store as soon as possible. Launching without support is disappointing in the short term, yes, but our input will enable more stores to be able to accept it once integration is complete. The goal was to launch with these payments, but a change in provider has delayed development their end.

If sales go through the roof it will make an excellent case study for bitcoin payments, won't it?

This is a brand new store. We are working with the partner to get Bitcoin payments working ASAP.

We accept bitcoin on other products https://ads.coindesk.com/ and http://www.coindesk.com/research/regulation-report/

Bitcoin payment is being worked on - switching payment providers is delaying it. It's not a case of 'just using bitpay'. The store is using a payment provider that has a bitcoin function which is just out of beta and requires coding time. 

Bitcoin is accepted for the Regulation Report and also advertising, so there is not great conspiracy here, whatever others may say.

What kind of products do you want to see? Currently sourcing some cool bitcoin-related items.

I never realized how heavily censored the coindesk.com comment section was until tonight.

Quote from: Greg Matthews
Sadly, these new rulings will also affect countless merchants. For example, the nightclub that I wrote about last week will now be required to register as a money transmitter since it accepts payment in Bitcoin and converts the digital currency into cash tips for its staff.

Deleted (no links or anything. lol) ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hmmm. Maybe I just have a conspiracy complex.  Tongue

Yeah, I think you do Smiley

How about Biebercoin BRC, chance to survive?

I think the guy is too full of himself to notice it, once his market department finds out they'll make a decision.
Probably they would do the same as Kayne, but you never know.


If biebercoin gets that much attention it will be huge marketing ... Think i'll buy a few  Grin

Actually, they did originally use his face, then they changed to the fish.

Hey!

I have been on the Bitcoin scene for sometime and lurked around these forums.

I'm launching a small Bitcoin start up based around the physical storage in a vault.

How would you guys recommend getting the word out to the news/ tech blogs?

AFAIK CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph etc publishes paid articles. So, if u have Big budget, u may get in touch with them...

We don't publish paid articles I'm afraid. A story has to be pitched, just as described on the Contact page.
