Others being BitPay: http://bitpay.com, Intuit (Quickbook Bitcoin Payments): http://intuitlabs.com/bitcoin.html, Winklevoss twins (who reportedly own 1% of all bitcoins), Quadriga CX: http://quadrigacx.com, and I'd keep an eye on Coinkite: http://coinkite.com in Canada.

If anything, the rise of Bitcoin thus far has certainly been interesting! As for Coinbase, their heft and resources will certainly help mainstream this new decentralized money system.

I agree with you. Inflation is due to political maneuvers, and is not purely economical. In other words, without bad politicians, inflation wouldn't exist.

Only someone who completely trusts their government and centralized financial institutions would say that.

Although I believe Apple Pay was inspired by Bitcoin, it wasn't core to my argument. So I dropped it.

Bitcoin presents more opportunity and potential than anything I have seen since the arrival of the internet. It could be the biggest opportunity in our lifetime.

There will be those who want an easy ride. They'll wait until the problems are solved and the infrastructure is in place. But for me, the exciting time is now, because the future is still being written.

Let those who want to mock the efforts of others do so. The rest of us can roll up our sleeves and be builders of this new economy for the people.

After the first four years of his presidency, Obama had a shocking record of human rights violations. This was heavily publicized in the press. You must have known about it, and yet you still voted him in for a second term.

What was your rationale for doing it a second time, even when the warning signs were clearly present?

Could you or anyone else who voted Obama in for a second term answer this?
