Topic: Bitcoin for furries? Could it happen?

Posted under Off Topic

I will try my best not to evangelize like so many other supporters have been doing, but...

Why aren't artists/commissioners taking advantage of the Bitcoin technology?

I feel this would be a great tool for faster, more convenient and anonymous transactions. Not to mention it would be easy to implement.

Plus, many have noted donations and other microtransactions to be Bitcoin's "killer app". It would certainly encourage smaller transactions within the community, and give rise to a more casual, freeform kind of trading.

Cryptocurrencies could create a sort of microeconomy between community members, unaffected by outside influences. And it would give a big boost to the cryptocurrency economy as a whole. I'm sure you all would have a BIG effect.

Hey, now that I think about it, maybe even an altcoin!? I'm sure furries would jump on it in no time if it was given proper branding. Dogecoin is successful mostly due to good branding.

PayPal has a lot of shortcomings cryptocurrencies could easily fix. Just thinking about it.

First off, dogecoin.

Secondly, bitcoin was doomed from the start. It's a sound idea, however, they are trying something new in a field where banks have all the control and they are against any change that doesn't give them more money. Since bitcoin is unregulated currency that has no value to them, very few were willing to support it. Even now, people are shutting down and turning their backs on them.

It might be a thing later on down the road, when someone reinvents it... but I don't think the legit bank system is willing to change enough to embrace it.

Okay, can someone explain what Dogecoin is? Is it even worth that much? How did it become as big of a thing as it did? Help? ;w;

I know a few artists take bitcoin, like Jay Naylor.
Also bitcoin was doomed when people started treating it less like currency and more like stock.

I've been thinking about using them, but since it's a pretty new currency, I want to use them when they're more stable
