Bitcoin ATMs are coming to the city. Josh Harvey, co-founder of Lamassu, showed off the first bitcoin dispenser at last week’s Consumer Electronics Show and has found quite a bit of interest for the $5,000 machines.

Reminds me of a classic scene from The Office:
Dwight: Very good. You have earned one Schrute buck.
Stanley: I don't want it.
Dwight: Then you have been deducted 50 Schrute bucks.
Stanley: Make it a hundred.
Dwight: Wh...don't you wanna earn Schrute bucks?
Stanley: No. In fact, I'll give you a billion Stanley nickels if you never talk to me again.
Dwight: What's the ratio of Stanley nickels to Schrute bucks?
Stanley: The same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns.

Yes, you are correct. Some perspective as to where we are with Bitcoin. If you missed this wave here is your chance to catch it! Its like deja vu all over again.

Bitcoin = Mark of the Beast.
A pretty unlikely candidate.

"Please take your cash. Would you like a receipt? Thank you for banking with Bitcoin."

And banks aren’t using binary code? The difference is Bankters know very little nor care to know about network security. Hence large security breaches of personal information via credit cards.
All this goes away with Bitcoin.

Welcome to the New World Order...on steroids.The NWO is to be created by governments. So, why did you say that? BitCoin isn't. Just wanted to chime in with something?
