Have You Joined My Bitcoin Social Network Yet?

Some people think you have to invest hundreds of thousands to get involved with Bitcoin and start to acquire it. This is not the case when you can get started for a very low risk of just $12 and let it grow as the community grows. I feel that everyone shold be able to acept bitcoin, especially business people. Every entrepreneur should have a bitcoin account to be able to recieve bitcoin payments IMHO. If you need help getting started either with bitcoin or set up with a Coinbase wallet to be able to be paid in bitcoin, please skype me here. That link is my Skype contact buttons and Skype resources. Please leave a text IM message first. No calls on skype with out appointment please.

but back on topic

Is the loss of MtGox Bitcoin a Problem?

Bitcoin is limited. Thats what insures its value. Only 21 Million bitcoin can ever be mined or created, and we are not there yet, by the way. Some feel this permanent loss of bitcoin is a problem. One Skype contact of mine said this

One of the fundamental problems of bitcoin though is its inability to create new currency when the old currency is taken out of circulation. With the bankruptcy of mtgox it actually takes another 750,000 bitcoins out of circulation artificially inflating the price until the market realizes that their currency has been cut in half and so has the market availability.

My Response: Bitcoin is Infinitely Divisible

interesting point Joshua. Thanks for that thought. But doesnt this increase the value of bitcoin? and this is a good thing, the value is down now and a good time to get some. And doesnt the fact that bitcoin is infinitely divisible solve that scarcity issue really?

oh and the skype chat continued and gets interesting

My highly intelligent and skilled online blogger expert friend Joshua said to me on Skype:

Its actually similar to the US currency issues we have. When we destroy currency there isnt enough in circulation we create artificial inflation to compensate but eventually it will collapse. Because there isnt enough currency in circulation to actually pay the debts out there.

Inflation, Fiat Currency vs Bitcoin

Yes, interesting. From what I understand, its the creation of currency from nothing, backed by no value. That causes inflation. Thats why I love bitcoin. It could turn out to be an alternative to save us from this endless inflation and potential collapse of so many global currencies.

Every Entrepreneur Should Have Bitcoin as a Payment Option

Every entrepreneur should have a bitcoin account to be able to receive bitcoin payments IMHO. I love it when people think Bitcoin is fiat its not. What they call money is truly backed by nothing except debt. That is fiat currency. Bitcoin is backed by real value. Its limited, more like Gold and Silver, and as long as its used for payments and accepted by merchants and businesses it has value. yes its value will be volatile at times, and I understand value will stabilize when all 21 Million are mined. Meantime, many are trading in bitcoin volatility.

I like getting small bits of bitcoin, even $2 or $3 worth, as part of my bitcoin community here its a good thing and it cant hurt to acquire bitcoin at so little risk, right?

While Patrick M. Byrne, CEO of online retailer Overstock.com says he is agnostic regarding the future value of bitcoin. he believes bitcoin is a viable medium of exchange for Overstock.com to better serve their customers. Read Why

When U.S. Accept Bitcoin It Creates a Robust, Viable Alternative Currency

Overstock is the first major online shopping retailer to commit to accepting the digital currency bitcoin as payment for any of millions of products. Doing this for both business and philosophical reasons, lets explore both reasons, as both are fascinating perspectives to add to the public opition of bitcoin.

Business Reasons To Accept Bitcoin

First, the business reasons: The increasingly large numbers of bitcoin holders are eager to patronize firms that will accept this form of payment, but so far, their options have been limited. By being the first major online retailer to accept bitcoin, Overstock will acquire a significant group of loyal consumers, resulting in over all growth of market share.

Accept Bitcoin For Lower Transaction Fees & More Profit

Another reason for merchants small and large, like Overstock, to choose to accept bitcoin for sales, is the cost of carrying out credit-card transactions. It is roughly 2 percent. This means more profit for bitcoin friendly businesses. In Overstocks case, their net margin is approaching 2 percent, therefore the savings of such fees will make bitcoin sales that much more profitable.

If you are not into mining for bitcoins, try accepting it for payment of your products or services. Though you may need to buy your supplies with your currency for now, just as in the case with Overstock. While its true that the value of bitcoin has proven more volatile than that of gold, this will not be a risk to Overstock.com. They will immediately convert bitcoin to dollars which minimises their bitcoin risk of devaluing.

A Fascinating Philosophical Reason to Accept Bitcoin

Accept Bitcoin. Limit Government. A Better Business Model For Our Nation & Constitution Consistent

Byrne believes limited government is a better business model for our nation than is unlimited government. Limited government has the additional benefit of being consistent with our Constitution, he says. Among the many vices of authoritarianism is that it can sustain itself only by offering more things to more people than it can actually deliver, and one way it makes up the difference is by debasing its currency.

Government Can Not Create Gold At Will. More Reason To Accept Bitcoin

People who share the belief in limited government often favor gold-back money, because for millennia, mankinds supply of gold has increased at a rate of 2-3 percent per year. Government has no power to print additional gold into existence, as is done with all fiat currency.

Bitcoin as a digital currency, works well for online transactions. However, it possesses key virtues of gold and silver. Bitcoin is mathematically limited in that there can be no more than 21 million (infinitely divisible) units. Bitcoin supply will grow in a predictable manner.
