Tue Mar 24 07:47:07 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> that's where we're heading back with bitcoin, taking away the power of the government. Sometimes one loses the big picture. Taking the ability of the government corporation to finance itself through robbery (taxes) and deceit (inflation) is important. Decentralizing coffy purchases at small shops maybe not so much. You could do it in centralized brandatokens and get your bitcoin sent at the end of the day. If I charge you much you go

Tue Mar 24 07:44:38 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> for most all the rest of human history private money was no big deal
Tue Mar 24 07:43:46 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> after all, fiat and the monopoly of money by the state has been going for barely a century.
Tue Mar 24 07:42:51 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> print your own
Tue Mar 24 07:42:20 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> however i doubt it's a better technology than handning a piece of paper in exchange for drinks
Tue Mar 24 07:41:48 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> right now bitcoin is an alternative even for coffee
Tue Mar 24 07:41:36 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> i'm not sure, there are alternatvies, alternative chains, sidechains, whatever, which certainly can't compete with bitcoin.
Tue Mar 24 07:39:37 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> so when blocks fill up and transactions start competing and miner subsidy goes down halving after halving the cost issue of why its not for coffee will be clearer
Tue Mar 24 07:38:55 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> In the future we'll look back and wonder how bitcoin transactions used to be free, when they have large costs involved and it needs be so to keep the network secure
Tue Mar 24 07:38:08 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> There was a point in bitcoin history when bitcoin was basically free, it had no monetary value, at least during 2009, and mostly also 2010, now it would be unthinkablee
Tue Mar 24 07:34:14 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> bitcoin is like gold. And gold is no less valuable when you can't spend it at a coffe shop. And even if there are large costs to exchange such modest amounts of gold or silver
Tue Mar 24 07:33:14 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> but it's problematic for many reasons to think that the value of bitcoin is to be able to pay coffe at a shop
Tue Mar 24 07:32:47 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> If mircea or pete were online and willing to discuss it, it would be easier, they have a more solid and convincing rhetoric than I could dream of myself
Tue Mar 24 07:30:15 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> the banks can be avoided entirely. The intermediary is not a must. You can just get in contact with other people, publish your own listings and such.

In Argentina anyway pretty much no transactions at PoS are made in bitcoin, it's just a show for companies which pretend to be doing busniess helping merchants accept bitcoin
Tue Mar 24 07:23:57 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> santiago castiglione travels there often bringing cash, the two btb braindamaged morons do it, if you can stand their stupidity. Tha saner person in Mendoiza is Adriel Araujo from Bitpagos. Contact him, he'll be able to help you, no doubt.
Tue Mar 24 07:21:27 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> if you were in a small town and no bank account then maybe inconvenient
Tue Mar 24 07:21:17 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> why is it? bc there are no people doing it cash in mendoza? i know for a fact thats not the acse
Tue Mar 24 07:20:31 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> if you hold gold you dont need merchants to accept gold
Tue Mar 24 07:20:22 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> you can sell the bitcoin and buy with fiat,
