Why is this on frontpage? This website is so poorly designed and (probably) generates so little revenue that couldn't seriously be considered as a study case for Bitcoin substituting bank accounts for business.
Hey atmosx, the site is an MVP, but yes I agree the design needs work. The site itself and its revenue is irrelevant to the issue at hand. Any US citizen (or non-EU citizen) who wants to form a company in Europe is going to run into the same banking problems I ran into. Bitcoin can provide some relief for this issue.
That's like selling used poems, or used voicemail greetings.
Hey guys! This particular hard copy of Ezekiel 25:17
from the bible is almost new! It's only been seen by human
eyes three times! Verified as authentic via flatbed
scanner and then CRC32 checksumming it's OCR results!
Hardly any wear and tear! $150 and it's yours!
I know, how about we start selling used radio waves, and used alternating current polarity cycles. (your choice of sine or triangle waves)
Used software (in the form of original floppy disks or optical media) used to be a common sight at independent computer stores. Even now, used games (usually optical media for consoles) are widely available for a fraction of the original price.
The part that's odd is that, as with any digital media, it's trivial to make copies. Traditionally, things have only been property if it's possible to possess them and keep them from others. In an industrial society with a powerful government, that's true of things like the right to print books containing a given text, but it isn't true of publicly-distributed digital media.
