perhaps again another off-topic post (1st beer
but no fishing this time),
it seemed to fit in the context:
one way for btc to become attractive for any big company is to get its own role as stable independent payment for all kinds of web -related services
(media, tipchar possibility for artists & kickstarter projects, shops for alternative lifestyle, fairtrade products
...would be good to push it with the fairtrade argument to hop on the new greeny train (with solar mining of course
)
...some nice ads
e.g.: "What currency costs more blood - btc or us$? you have the vote in your hand!"
power to the people and so on like an extended arm of SR
At some point no big player could deny the sheer buying power it represents as a movement.
when amazon started their own coin for digital media i found the strategy really interesting to make a customer dependent
by luring him into a currency that can only be used to buy products by this specific company.
shortly after i heard rumors of apple planning also their own coin for itunes (patent for imoney
)
(i think it was that article...not sure though where i read it:
http://www.coindesk.com/apple-to-create-virtual-currency-imoney/)
it's like they give virtual value away (weighed up by what is the question? fiat? ipads?...yea now for sure but in 10-15 years?)
to buy a part of their own client base and this is much more cheaper than taking any credit from a bank or paying dividends to shareholders,
and they know it's their cash in the first place.
With the flip of a coin every single person could decide to which company they give their fiat...and get some goodies in return
i wrote that some time ago and my theory is perhaps a bit off but it's like switching the stock market around to the consumer side
and every company could in this way literally "buy" shares of the the mass purchasing power as long as they can bait with treats.
sure that could be one of many ways how cryptocurrencies will evolve but the more i think about the more it seems possible how economy could integrate that tool into society and its market.
best place for btc would be to really represent a backup like virtual gold...
but for that scenario 1st world would need a hell of a depression.
therefore the story could also begin in smaller countries with huge inflation.
...
who knows
btc will be used and formed by society and economy depending on their conditions during phases of history...
(=highrisk-investment during times of crisis?)
excuse me for the monologue...got bit philosophical again give me a hint if this theory is way off
...time for a shandy
edit: thanks for
...overread that one
2nd edit: shit missed discussion by one page
