.@ErikVoorhees @mauroperetti What if people with bitcoin don't want to spend them at Starbucks, even at a 'discount'?
If 1% of Starbucks drinkers simply knew about http://FoldApp.com (where they save 20% on every cup), Bitcoin would take over the world.

@bren_fdez@mauroperetti Well those people wouldn't use the app. -

@ErikVoorhees@mauroperetti maybe you're right... After all, if they were willing to play Dice... ;)

@ErikVoorhees@PrashBalani could fold app actually scale to that level, though? -
@mikeinspace@ErikVoorhees@PrashBalani can bitcoin? We can all scale up together. -
@fold_app@ErikVoorhees@PrashBalani where's the discount coming from? People selling u gift cards at a discount? How can that scale? -
@mikeinspace@ErikVoorhees@PrashBalani it doesn't have to- at scale we can rely on wholesale discounts from merchants. -
@fold_app@ErikVoorhees@PrashBalani ok fair enough. But can Starbucks scale in that environment? Seems like a big hit to the bottom line. -
@mikeinspace that's alright. Better to scale the business than fear our own success, I think. -
@fold_app I should mention you offer one of the most practical everyday uses of Bitcoin. Good luck! -
@mikeinspace thanks :)

@ErikVoorhees Aren't stolen credit cards a major part of how this functions? -
@jel421 we buy unwanted gift cards on the secondary market. We're on the hook if we buy a bad gift card, so we're very careful where we buy

@ErikVoorhees I wish they would open up to other countries. Foldapp doesn't work in the Philippines :( -
@ManInManila1 we've got a few (8 and counting), but we haven't been able to figure out the Phillipines yet... we'll get there! -
@fold_app Go go go! BTC is getting quite popular here ;)
