Why would you buy bit coin? What value does it have for you?
- verbalist 14y agoYou think it's hard to hire developers right now? Well guess what, there are a bunch of talented ones who only want payment in Bitcoin.
- SilasX 14y agoWha? Who? Super-secretive coders that you can only talk to via the darknets? Edit: Perhaps a sentient paperclip maximizer with no other way of interacting with the human financial system: http://lesswrong.com/lw/4cs/making_money_with_bitcoin/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/4cs/making_money_with_bitcoin/
- untog 14y agoWhat possible reason could they have for that? How do you file it a business expense?
- waterlesscloud 14y agoHow would you file it if you paid someone in Euros?
- TrevorJ 14y agoReally? I'd like to know more about this, if true that would be an interesting development.
- betterunix 14y agoOnly up to the point where they need to pay rent, buy food, pay taxes, or otherwise live their lives in the real world. When those things happen, those hypothetical developers will go running to a Bitcoin exchange to get their nation's currency (and they'll be pretty unhappy if there is a sudden, unexpected fluctuation in the price of Bitcoin).
- magoghm 14y agoThis is the first time I hear about this. Could you tell us how many talented developers there are in the "bunch"?
- smartwater 14y agoI'm one of them. I don't even accept new clients unless they come via referral. But if you have some juicy bitcoin, it's a different story.
