if i offer to pay you bitcoin for putting a new roof on my house, you would just turn around and trade it for cash to buy your groceries anyway

If I offer to pay you [some other currency] blah blah, you would just turn around and trade it.

Why do you think forex markets exist?

the point is that it's cash in at the front in and cash out at the back end before you can buy anything useful for yourself

the visa cards are just another conversion instrument at the back end

Aye, 'tis true today but what of tomorrow? Dollar keeps devaluing, bitcoin rising inversely-proportional to dollar... doesn't take a genius here to understand why people who buy bitcoin tend to hold it as is... who knows what the "standard" exchange currency will be tomorrow, but trends do point toward cryptos.

the question should be were can you get roofing material using Bitcoins, and will the illegals you hire accept Bitcoins for their wages. Of course you will have liability insurance backed by Bitcoins I'm sure

I would trade the bitcoins for other crypto currencies

Its the way of the world but I doubt you'll find many roofers interested in currency trading.

In my opinion, these crypto currencies are just another excuse for eliminating cash.

I'm going to stop using government sanctioned currency and start using sticks...they are valuable because I say so, also you can build fires with them

Then why bother with bitcoin at all?

I'll gladly give you a bitcoin Tuesday for a hamburger today.

If you are interested in using bitcoins to make money then use it only for trading online. buy low sell high all day.

This week bitcoin is predicted to shoot into $5,000 a coin. Buy in now! you dont have to buy a full unit! just start with $25 or even $50. Bitcoin is forecasted to get into the $50,000 mark in less than 10 years!! this is the time to get in when its good. Set it and forget and in a few years you will have a nice nest.

I would want YOU to trade in those bitcoins and pay me in USD.

You might offer but I wouldn't accept so you'd be out a new roof till you found someone who did.

Anonymous private transaction. Other than that it is similar to gambling in a casino

I don't think that you are smart enough to even establish a bitcoin account. Much less transferring bc scanned data goof to another person.

Use the right side of your brain and see the future ie things your kids and grandchildren use or accept daily.

We all have bc Visa cards....works just like cash.

I listened to max keiser and bought 1k$ bc at 53$ usd.

Do some homework.
