...do you not stand by what you say...
I don't know enough about bitcoin or other conceptual currencies to intelligently support or oppose such. But I would imagine that the opposition comes from a place of fear. Fear of an unproven system. I'm certain there are questions of security..privacy..and value stability...pushing the voices of opposition. Besides the "self preservation" instinct that drives our fear of change.Algona, it seems to me, perhaps wrongly, that the suggestion for bitcoin usage needs no discussion, because no one is willing to present a reason to be opposed, unless you're proffering that some might not want extra competition. But surely, anyone who has bitcoin also has dollars, or any other accepted currency, or access to an accepted currency; so what if they find bitcoin more convenient?
Only Manda has presented close to a plausible reason, worry that Inno could go bankrupt. Perhaps, one could say that Inno would be unlikely to consider bitcoin usage in the absence of a suggestion, thus avoiding error in treatment of bitcoin. I doubt that, however.
So, Ardak, I vote yea.
This would truly make him/her a SLOPPYjoe slayer!In the case of my poop, no I won't stand too near. You, of course, are welcome to stand sit lay or walliw near on or in my poop, Maybe you'll ger even better insight improving your analysis of whatever words you choose to put in my mouth. Enjoy!

Ardak, I'm sorry to annoy you, but I'm not "championing" bitcoin acceptance, just questioning the validity of this discussion.
I'm questioning the validity of your posts, since they are obviously contradictory. I'm going with Ardak's assessment that you are just here to stir up fights.I'm just looking for a reasoned discussion.
I oppose racism, even though as an older white male it doesn't directly affect me. I oppose the use of bitcoin, or any other of this type of "currency" because it is a private currency in that it does not have the official backing or support of any governmental body that I know of. It was invented by individuals/corporations and administered by the same, which makes it not answerable to the public in the way that national currencies are. For this reason, there is probable cause to question the validity of it as a means of buying/selling anything. If Inno, or any other company were to accept this and then fail or suffer grievious financial harm as a result, it would directly affect me. Therefore, I am opposed to its acceptance by Inno or any other entity. There, I've given more reason to oppose its adoption by Inno than the original poster gave for the proposal in the first place.Come on, Algona, get real. The obvious reasons are either he wants to pay with bitcoin or wants to profit by the sale of bitcoin or both. Sure, sure, perhaps he has a friend who's too shy to ask, but it amounts to the same thing. I'm not trying to win an argument, none currently exists. But, yes, in a formal proposal, which 123 has, as yet, not made, a statement of purpose is required.
123's suggestion is reasonable, albeit unlikely to be implemented. Unless the use of bitcoin affects one, one should not oppose the suggestion, having no grounds for complaint. If one cannot explain the negative effects of adoption and others cannot infer them {that's me, for one}, then how could one expect others to cleave to one's view. Isn't the point of a forum discussion of a suggestion to convince others, to get them on the side one favors?
OFF TOPIC: {Algona, sorry if I misinterpreted your previous post. Not trying to put words in your mouth, just trying to understand.}
omg you can't be serious, I mean you do know anyone can be racist and that racism, though it may not always be a direct thing to you, you do indirectly get affected by it but back on topic, of course this type of currency is not backed by a State, that's the whole point. You don't get all your food from the State do you? Yet you eat every day just fine.I oppose racism, even though as an older white male it doesn't directly affect me.
Since we don't operate under the barter system, where I get my bread from is irrelevant. Apples and oranges. And, yes, I do know that anyone can be racist, but I did temper my comment by saying "directly affect me", which is exactly your point in critiquing my comment. So, it sounds like you're correcting me by saying the exact same thing I said. Right?omg you can't be serious, I mean you do know anyone can be racist and that racism, though it may not always be a direct thing to you, you do indirectly get affected by it but back on topic, of course this type of currency is not backed by a State, that's the whole point.

Yeah probably just a spammer but sure makes for some great convo!You know what's really ridiculous? The OP just joined the Forum yesterday. His only activity on the Forum is starting and posting in this thread about wanting Inno to accept Bitcoin. His user name is bitcoin123. His avatar is a Bitcoin. And yet Tenskwatawa finds nothing to question in that, but opts instead to attack our opposition to this proposal. A proposal, I might add, that even the OP has provided no reasoning for.
Come on, Algona, get real.

lol, like State money isn't used for illegal purposes...oh and war.Bitcoin is mainly used for illegal transactions
