They should its the future, I bet they make their own coin.
The Facecoin?
As I have learnt FB is already having Facebook credits, which is equivalent to centralized pre-mined alt coin.
The basic difference is that that is not de-centralized and hence does not depend on cryptography.
The biggest problem of bitcoin right now is trust. Actually the lack of it... Lack of trust in the bitcoin system itself, the software and the companies around bitcoin.
The thing is that only time can fix this particular problem...
I would agree regarding the trust as the currency. BTC has to become a currency, not a speculative asset for gambling. This means price stability/growth stability. Then the problem of a lack of adoption will be resolved. Yes, trust is the most important issue.The thing is that only time can fix this particular problem...
well yeah, that's why i said whales or potential new players. and i still don't many people will say "well, i need to get some bitcoins so i can buy something from dell."
True, people are more likely to buy with bitcoin they already own, rather than go out and buy bitcoin just for the purpose of spending at Dell.
So the promotion for Bitcoin is the best thing that can come out of Amazon adoption. All the press releases would be like a free 1000 foot tall billboard with the words Bitcoin on it.

Just find me the real miner (i.e. coal miner), but not the owner of mines, who became a millionaire. The same is with the BTC mining. I would wait until the BTC mining hardware will be combined with the BBQ grill - so, you will have at least one benefit.
Re: Letter/Petition to Businesses to Accept & Adopt Bitcoin - Guerilla Marketing
Marketing means selling. So, marketing what? BTC? You can sell your BTCs any time without any marketing. 
"To businesses" - your ambitions are high Maybe you can start "guerilla marketing" of the BTC from your local grocery shop around the corner? That would be more realistic.

It might be useful for merchant only in the case BTC price will go up and this will create an extra gain.
Merchants have everything to gain by accepting it while giving discounts as there's already a normal markup on most items. So, cut it enough for people to want to trade you their Bitcoin for products and the more this happens and these merchants keep even a small amount of their Bitcoin sales in house as time goes by, there's no way the Bitcoin doesn't appreciate. People are suckers for deals and most women have value savers tickets on their key chains for a reason.Re: [2014-07-23] YAHOO: Angry Bitcoin investors demand answers at Tokyo
BTC is a high risk speculative asset. A BTC investor should know it.
Investors have risk that the price declines, however investors should not bear risk that their assets get stolen from the entity responsible holding them. Re: [2014-07-23] YAHOO: Angry Bitcoin investors demand answers at Tokyo

You cant just say it like that. Investors carry on certain risk, ofc, but there definetly needs to be some regulation to stop thing like this from happening.
It is not the first case of bitcoin missuse, and scamming through bitcoin, and that is one of reasons bitcoin doesnt have more investors.
Some say regulation will ruin bitcoin due to centralisation of some kind, but actualy heavy regulations are needed to give bitcoin a chance to move forward.
Re: [2014-07-26] Why Bitcoin May One Day Split Into Black and White Coins
It depends what the word "regulation" means in the real life. If they talk about paying taxes - the businesses are already split into those who are "white" and those who are "black". And this is not the BTC regulation problem.
According to 41515948 total address on 7/18/14 the price should have been $2088 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=P+%3D+%28+41515948+^+2.26%29+%2F+%28e+^+32+%29+ soon I hope 
I was really expecting more of a rally this month up to 2-3K area

The current price is unexpectedly low considering the bottom average of the charts.
This morning the value dropped again and probably the buy wall at 590$ will be eaten.
If this trend continues the price theory should be modified a little.
Re: [2014-07-26] Why Bitcoin May One Day Split Into Black and White Coins
"The white coins would be currency that's circulated through the regulated system; black coins would be coins still off the authorities' radar"... I think you can say the same about any currency.
By the way, who are "those that want to honor bitcoins cyberpunk, anti-establishment roots" and are against the "mainstream adoption" of BTC?
