Title: What happened last I checked?
Post by: Kratistoi on January 13, 2016, 09:42:02 AM

 I gave up on bitcoin after I started my new job and shifted my interest in other stuff.

 Last time I was here moneypot started to get big and betterbets.io was becoming huge. I really don't have a clue when was this but I assume sometime before summer?

 Since lets say all of 2015 , what are the major things that I should check and know before going in again?

You should first check about scam accusations on this forum (as well as scam warnings given by other members).

Why?! The price of BTC is rising! And the scam things don't related to bitcoin itself!

The major thing you could've missed out is the max block-size drama, where no consensus can be reached regarding the future of Bitcoin. Gavin Andresen lost his leading position and the core devs mostly related to Blockstream took over the lead.

What else... 2015 was record year in terms of VC investment, 21 inc received the most funding.

Cryptsy is falling down.

Theymos is still working on new forum.

'Blockchain technology' is on the rise among financial institutions (but that's not really Bitcoin related).

Bitcoin found it's niche as a ransom payment system.

Moneypot is still around, changed the ownership tho

And that's all from top of my head.

Oh, and they've also figured out who Satoshi Nakamoto is, again. This year it was some guy from Australia (cant recall his name)

i too was away for a long time and now that i am back i was reading all around to see what has happened and what did i missed.
so far it looks like except the nice price rise, nothing has changed.
there is still scammers scamming, and everybody trying to accumulate as much bitcoin as they can.
