    I suppose that's a valid point. I mean ... if I can instantly unload them for dollars ... I might be of a different mindset. When begs three questions: What sort of conversion fee do you end up paying to convert bitcoin to pounds or dollars ...? What sort of merchant gateway fees do you...

    Accepting Bitcoin

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Federal Reserve Notes are fiat currency ... but unlike Bitcoin ... it's fiat currency I can pay my taxes with. And everyone accepts it. I don't like a currency where I have to "figure out" where I can spend it. Pain in the a$$. Plus ... I have more faith in the Federal Reserve System ...

    What was your biggest business and life lesson in 2014?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Reminds me (in a way) of something I often heard from an entrepreneur client of mine who acquired ... and then lost ... half a billion dollars: "The height of satisfaction ... is the height of danger." Translated loosely: The moment you think you're king of the world and get too comfortable...

    The "Second Best" Call to Action

    MARKETING 
    In marketing circles ... everyone always talks about the importance of building lists. The premise being ... if someone visits your page ... then leaves your page ... and you don't know who they are ... you have no way of doing any follow-up marketing to them. So you always want to do...

    Okay ... here are six things I "learned" in 2014: 1. There is an important difference between an "unmet need" ... and an "unmet need people are willing to reach in their pockets and pay for." Just because people are bitching about it ... does not mean they are prepared to pay for it. The...

    Just checked. That house is already booked. But thanks for the suggestion! Had not thought about that before (renting a house). With that said ... we might be open to renting a house with another couple ... so if you think you might be interested ... let me know. Just one caveat ... I...

    My hope is that SOs have first shot at the extra tickets apple ... otherwise folks like myself (with SOs) might have to take a pass on the group dinner in favor of going somewhere else with our SO (... don't want to sleep in a Arizona dog house ... know what I mean ...?)

    Sharon and I have never visited Arizona (aside from the Grand Canyon) ... and were thinking that ... if we are going to fly to Scottsdale for a weekend ... may as well stay for a week and make a vacation out of it. So ... I guess the first question is ... do you think we should stay the whole...

    I've given up carbs ... and am committed to 7 miles a day ... along with 15 minutes of low-impact super-sets ... 7 days a week. I know, I know ... not textbook. But it works for me. And most importantly ... it's a daily plan I know I will stick to. Started in late September. Hit the mark...

    Lawyers Niche: Expiring Legal Documents

    Aside from judgments ... I can think of few (if any) "legal documents" that "expire" (or, at the very least, nothing that comes to my mind). Most lawyers have calendering software for upcoming deadlines (as relates to clients legal matters) ... if there was something that "needed" to get done...
