BTC Adoption Continues: Now Accepted at 4chan December 13, 2012, 05:48:10 AM #1 About two months ago, 4chan, one of the largest and best-known forums on the Internet, began a subscription service where for $20/year, users could bypass the requirement to enter a captcha when posting.



As of today, Bitcoin is being accepted as a payment method for buying such subscriptions.



One datapoint (Wordpress) can be an exception. Two datapoints (Wordpress + 4chan) can be outliers. But there's also the possibility that these are signs of the wind changing - signs that widespread adoption has finally begun.



Your thoughts? If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

This is quite a change in position. "The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

let's get a refresher

let's get a refresher Huh, the search function produces nothing. Maybe that whole incident predates this version of the forum? OR perhaps I'm jsut thinking of the wrong website. Could there be another internet forum with a name similar to 4chan?

To be fair, there still seem to be quite a few people on the site who think Bitcoin is a joke.



But thanks to services like BitPay and Coinbase (the latter of which the site seems to be using), you can think Bitcoin is a joke and still accept payment in it with impunity.
