Above, a 1934 plaque from the Big Apple Night Club at West 135th Street and Seventh Avenue in Harlem. Discarded as trash in 2006. Now a Popeyes fast food restaurant on Google Maps.

Bitcoiner

A “bitcoiner” is a person or a business that trades in bitcoins, a digital currency. The name “bitcoiner” has been cited in print since at least August 2010.
 
 
Wikipedia: Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital currency which was first described in a 2008 paper by pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto, who called it an anonymous, peer-to-peer, electronic payments system. Bitcoin creation and transfer is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central authority. The creation of new bitcoins is automated and may be accomplished by servers, called bitcoin miners that run on an internet-based network and confirm bitcoin transactions by adding codes to a decentralized log, which is updated and archived periodically. Each bitcoin is subdivided into 100 million smaller units called satoshis, defined by eight decimal places.

There would need to be a concentration of bitcoiners for this to work. I suggest penetrating into a community that would be extremely receptive to bitcoins.

Anarchic cryptocurrency. Decentralized, peer-to-peer, impracticable to forge, resilient, inherently deflationary and (effectively) endlessly divisible. And in use.*
(...)
One thing I’ve noticed is the troubling prevalence of anarchists (cool) libertarians (uh-oh) and anarcho-capitalists (eek!) among bitcoiners so far.

The BitCoiners Strike Back
Posted on : 21-06-2011 | By : admin | In : Bitcoin Buzz
I cannot say I’m surprised that my piece about BitCoins provoked a strong reaction. The idea of a private, crypto-currency inspires a lot of passion among its advocates.

As Bitcoin crashes, the Bitcoin Fanboys are out in force.
 
Some are encouraging their fellow Bitcoiners to stay strong, and to HOLD in the face of collapse.
