Bitbillions GBBG history

Bitbillions history

Excerpt from Official Website ...
Once upon a time, about 10 years ago, some software developers who have started an underground forum to share ideas, solve problems together, and regularly showcase their skills to their peers. They established a meeting place where members could come and go as they please, participate openly without judgment or criticism, and even stay completely anonymous if you wish. Admission to this secret society is by invitation only, subject to a successful demonstration of intelligence and skill.

Over time, trust and respect have evolved between peers. Groups of people joined around ideas. Projects have emerged to provide solutions to different problems. Software packages integers and operational frameworks have grown from nothing. Some of these solutions have had so much to offer, they have gained the attention of the entire club.
Eventually, the chaos and random chit-chat have become uniform efficiency and focused discussion. What was a friendly experiment was becoming a well-oiled machine. And, as expected, the members realized that they had the potential to create something bigger. 

Most of the developers GBBG Society (creator of BitBillions ) are normal people like us, who work for large companies. By day, increase the Intellectual Property and Net Wort slaves of their respective owners. At night, they contribute to their personal projects in exchange for mutual praise and admiration. Just like you, none of them want to be just another cog in the wheel.


At this time, there is a strong possibility that you're inches away from a product created with the talent of a developer GBBG. Many engineers were GBBG developers of high-quality projects or important team members for goods and services launched by hundreds of companies around the world. If there is a computer, a cell phone, an electronic device, a car, or even a nearby restaurant, there is a product influenced by the intelligence and capabilities of a technical GBBG.
Over the years, many members of our organization have developed some of their own personal projects into successful business ventures. With all this talent in one place, it was natural for members to start producing profitable software and technology together. Big ideas emerge within GBBG all the time. Many of these ideas could be tremendously profitable enterprise. The problem is that most of our members are ordinary people who work for "The Man", and the dream of a better future. I do not have a lot of money to invest, or groups of lawyers, accountants and marketing professionals to help them build a business.
Over time, a vision of opportunity emerged. GBBG whether to become an organization to promote and develop these products? products could be developed and marketed through the organization. profits could be made ​​and shared collectively.

How do you convert an underground club into a profitable, growing business? We needed capital and a marketing plan with no upfront costs, with a capacity exponentially, and sustainability. As a group of regular guys with meetings to help each other on personal projects, GBBG was not designed to have the money for product development , marketing, advertising, or business plans. After a bit of research and discussion, we decided to implement MATRIX MARKETING

GBBG built the concept of Matrix Marketing from a cooperative or collective advantage. We are a group of people helping people. Why not create a marketing plan in the same way? There are millions of people around the world who use the products we develop. So, why not collectively share the revenue with the participants in the Matrix Marketing?

BitXatm Announces ATM with Merchant-Friendly Point of Sale Function


| Published on April 8, 2014 at 10:29 BST | Bitcoin ATM, Merchants, Technology
Germany-based startup BitXatm has announced the arrival of its Sumo Pro – a cryptocurrency ATM with a POS (point of sale) function that will appeal to merchants seeking to easily accept payments from customers in digital currencies.
Costing €2,900 (around $3,993), the stand-alone machine offers a generous 17-inch touchscreen and has the ability to accept any fiat currency. Additionally, it can accept or dispense any digital currency, according to the company’s website.

Operators of the Sumo Pro are able to link up with any exchange partner’s API to facilitate the supply of digital currencies, improve liquidity and enhance security.
The machine offers a web-based back-end, so owners can keep an eye on cash flow, profits, or change settings such as the fiat-to-bitcoin exchange rate from their web browser. Furthermore, proprietors can opt to receive SMS notifications for things like transactions or fund balance.
BitXatm web account
For businesses that need to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) laws, the machine provides an identification check on customers using the device’s ATM function, which can be further enhanced with an optional fingerprint scanner.

How it works

As illustrated in the video below, the Sumo Pro offers a quick and easy method for customers to pay for products or services using their mobile devices.
In the restaurant example shown, the waitress sets up a transaction at payment time by logging into her staff account and entering the bill total, then prints out a paper receipt for the customer.
The customer then scans the QR code on the receipt into his or her digital wallet, checks the amount, then clicks ‘send’. The transaction indicates it’s complete soon after on the Sumo Pro screen, and the customer is free to go – or do the washing up if they don’t have sufficient funds.
The process looks very simple – certainly as easy as paying with a credit card – and the Sumo Pro also provides a reassuringly professional looking front end that should help to inspire confidence in new bitcoin customers possibly made wary by recent media gloom surrounding cryptocurrencies.
The BitXatm machine also offers merchants the chance to bring in some extra income via interest on transactions when the Sumo Pro is used in its ATM mode.

Competitive market

The Sumo Pro is manufactured in Romania, according to BitXatm. It will start shipping machines in May. If they sell out, there will be a 30-day pre-order window for new purchases.
The company faces increasing competition from other startups in the bitcoin ATM arena: Robocoin has seen great success and sends machines all over the globe, as does Lamassu, who also plans to enhance its machines for other bitcoin services, such as remittances. Other companies are also gearing up for the fray.
However, the unique selling proposition of the Sumo Pro is its user-friendly POS feature. If it really is as simple as the video would have us believe, it may be a product that will start finding its way into the mainstream.
BitXatm also aims to carve itself a decent slice of the market with the very competitive €2,900 price tag. Robocoin (at $20,000) and Lamassu (at $5,000) are both pricer and offer fewer functions – for now. Yesterday’s announcement of a €1,000 ATM from PayMaQ may worry the company, but their machine lacks the attractive POS function of the Sumo Pro.
This is the kind of technology that many have been pushing for: easy-to-use, with elegant systems to ease the on-ramp for consumers and businesses alike entering the world of digital currencies. Let’s hope the Sumo Pro lives up to its potential.

Inside Bitcoins NYC Day 1: Bitcoin 2.0 Takes Center Stage


| Published on April 8, 2014 at 00:26 BST | Events, News
More than 2,000 digital currency enthusiasts gathered at the Javits Center in New York City on 7th April for the city’s second Inside Bitcoins conference and expo, organised by Mediabistro.
Attendees traveled to New York from more than 30 countries and 38 US states to hear speeches from industry leaders about the usual topics, such as the future potential and big-picture implications of bitcoin for consumers and the financial markets.
As the day progressed, though, panelists began to emphasize the opportunities of Bitcoin 2.0 and applications of the Bitcoin protocol beyond currency, and notably turned attention to the topic of governmental regulation of digital currencies.
The event kicked off with Alan Meckler, the CEO and Chairman of Mediabistro, who welcomed the crowd and noted the dramatic increase in attendance from last year’s Inside Bitcoins NYC event, which he said had just over 150 attendees.

A ‘buzzing’ crowd

Even before Circle’s Founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire kicked off his opening keynote address – which centred on bringing bitcoin to mainstream audiences, Inside Bitcoins NYC conference programmer Stewart Quealy commented on the energy in the room, saying:
“It’s great to be in this room and feel the energy of the crowd. There’s a certain buzz in the air of everyone who is excited about the potential in this industry.”
This was evidenced by the number of startup companies who signed up as exhibitors and showcased their work in a variety of fields, including mining, cloud storage and regulatory compliance consulting.
Conference attendees lined the exhibition hall during the lunch break to learn more about the diverse offerings of exhibitors, and even participated in a live bitcoin trading session hosted by the Bitcoin Center NYC.

Diverse topics and opinions

Day one of the conference played host to a diversity of topics discussed by a wide range of industry professionals. Panels focused on issues such as regulation, mainstream adoption, the startup ecosystem and security, among others.
Unsurprisingly, the variety of topics brought with them a variety of opinions and viewpoints.
More than once when questions were fielded from the audience, members of the panel made a point to speak up in opposition of their fellow panelists’ perspectives.
In a panel titled ‘Moving Bitcoin Forward: Bringing Trust, Legitimacy and Transparency to the Market’, moderator Michael Terpin, co-founder of BitAngels, asked for a show of hands as to which area holds the most importance for increasing the number of bitcoin users: ease of use, security, regulation, public perception, economics, or liquidity?
While there were votes for each of the five areas of concern, there was a clear majority consensus that bitcoin’s ease of use is the most important factor in growing the industry; members of the panel agreed.

A maturing industry

One recurring theme across the board from Monday’s panels and keynote speeches was the notion that the digital currency industry is rapidly evolving, and that it has already come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2009.
During a panel discussion titled ‘New Ideas in Bitcoin’, speakers highlighted the emerging ideas in digital currencies that expand beyond bitcoin’s use solely as a currency.
Ryan Charleston, founder and CEO of Bitcorati, used the Internet as a metaphor for bitcoin’s potential:

Regulation and education

The topic of regulation was a primary focus in many of Monday’s panel discussions. A number of different viewpoints on regulation were presented from panelists, but the popular stance seemed to be that some level of regulation will be necessary in order for bitcoin to achieve mainstream adoption.
Jacob Farber, senior counsel at Perkins Coie LLP, noted the contrasting attitudes that the bitcoin community holds about regulation, stating:
“I’m struck by the seemingly mass acceptance of regulation in this room. There are contrasting interests between the original crowd who are averse to regulation and the new innovators working on Bitcoin 2.0.”
Other panelists, like Izzy Klein of Podesta Group, believe that regulation is inevitable.
As such, Klein argued that there needs to be more consensus among regulators in their approach to dealing with digital currencies:
Educating regulators about bitcoin’s underlying technology and its value for the global economy is paramount for productive and meaningful regulation, Klein said.

Closing remarks

The first day of Inside Bitcoins NYC drew a large crowd with diverse interests and opinions, and the variety of panelists and discussions ensured that the conference offered something to appeal to everybody’s interests.
Topics like regulation and entrepreneurial opportunity held a particular focus throughout the day, and though not everybody shared the same opinions, it was clear that attendees felt that they were part of a rapidly evolving and disruptive industry.
