We also came across David Birch this afternoon here. He's a continuing "skeptical fan" of Bitcoin and had the old Bitcoin android client on his phone (you know, the one that downloads the entire blockchain). We got him situated with Blockchain.info's app and he'll be coming by our booth tomorrow to get a coin Other vendors here:- Mastercard (booth right behind ours)- Discover- American Express- Google Wallet- inComm- Western UnionWe also came across David Birch this afternoon here.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.







Hero MemberActivity: 756Merit: 500There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins. Re: Meanwhile in Las Vegas..... October 22, 2012, 05:57:26 AM #5 I certainly hope you'll manage to present Bitcoin as a useful tool and an opportunity, and not a threat. I also hope, for same reasons, that no one from the companies mentioned above read these forums. They're there , in their room.

Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.

You guys getting evil glares from the PayPal guys or are any of them interested and talking with you?



Show hasn't started yet but I assume we'll have some fun chats with them tomorrow.



Honestly I don't think anyone at PayPal yet understands the true threat posed by Bitcoin to them. They likely view it as an interesting, complicated, and weird new niche tech (which it is).

CityCenter was built, in part, with very progressive oil money. So maybe you will have a receptive audience. Just remember, Bitcoin is digital gold. Civil Liberty Through Complex Mathematics

Congratulations and huge success.



And don't see that PayPal guys as competition. They are doing this way longer I'm pretty sure there are still things you can learn from them (and then improve and apply it).
