Did you have that updated list?  The organization is keeping #1 and #10 for display and historical purposes and will be displaying a coin on campus in the glass case in Soda Hall. Please let me know if you see any issues with this list. I think that it is current with the order that people reserved them and shifted correctly for the ones that the club is reserving. Please post or PM me and the individual on a particular number if you want a specific number other than the one you are currently on and I will try to accommodate everyone. The first 20 coins (#1-20 excluding club reserved coins) will come with a certificate of authenticity signed by the head of the SCET ( http://scet.berkeley.edu/ikhlaq-sidhu/) that will be on a scroll or old looking paper with a UC Berkeley wax seal, a COA from the NWT mint, and a picture signed by all the founding members of the organization. #21-30 will just come with the COA from the mint. All coins will be sent in a plastic protective case as seen in the above pictures taken on campus. Shipping is free for anyone in the US and will be negotiated depending on location for international. Pricing: #1-20: 0.2 BTC#21-30: 0.12 BTCI will not be collecting any payments until I have the COA complete as well as the holos in hand and everything ready to ship the same day that payment is received. 1.

I'm by no means a photographer but here are a few pictures I took around campus! I should have the holos and the hand signed COA's by then as well (they will also come with the COA's from the mint). I will either be using old looking paper with a custom wax UC Berkeley seal or putting them on scrolls, feel free to let me know which you think would be the cooler option! I will post an updated list of reservations and final pricing structure by tonight.     |

I first read about it on a forum and thought that it was a really cool idea but didn't really understand it. I wish I had read about it more because after that I ignored it for over a year before I heard that it ran up to ATH. The classic "I wish I had bought in earlier" story haha

You're definitely asking people to speculate because no one really knows for sure! I think that most people would agree that if the rule change is approved then the price will increase. If it is rejected it will most likely go down. That being said there is always the argument that either of those things has already been priced into the market, or that the market will wait on the other ETF's that are waiting for approval and not affect price that much. We will have to wait and see!

Yeah that is definitely a tough situation. I guess at that point the total pool of Bitcoin that will ever be in existence shrank. Bitcoin causes so many interesting questions like this. It is definitely nice to have a third party that can handle fringe cases like this but that is what happens. Total control over your money is a double edged sword!

I don't think that they are controlling it, it could definitely survive without them. That being said I think that most people think that they control a significant amount of the network which is a little concerning and brings up the issue of centralization. That being said, I have thought about this issue a lot and it's hard to imagine coming up with some kind of crypto that didn't eventually become centralized. Countries will specialize in whatever they have a competitive advantage in because they can remain profitable longer than other countries and drive them out of the market. If it wasn't China it would be whatever country had cheaper resources, labor, etc.

Unless internet can't be working any more, or your question is negative. Maybe in world war III, but people need food first, who likes bitcoin?
Yeah, I always end up coming to a very similar conclusion. If things get bad enough that the internet is completely shut off then the price of Bitcoin will be the least of our worries. Guns and food will be the new currency of that world. |

? Isnt Bitcoin actively used to buy illegal stuff more than being used in legal stuff? How large are the transactions in the whole darknet marketplaces combined right now and at what rate is it growing yearly? I think it comprises around 70% of the Bitcoin economy, while the users who use it for legal items have their coins tucked in their wallets doing nothing.
No it's way lower than that. You can look at the total Bitcoin network daily volume and then compare it with public data share by large companies like Bitpay and Coinbase where people are using it for payouts as well as purchasing goods and it is definitely the majority now. It definitely is the main currency used on darknet markets but I don't think that use case is anywhere near the majority anymore. Think about the last major exit scam and how much it affected the market, if it was 70% the price would have dropped significantly more. |

Of course you need to store it in your cold wallet, or big exchanges,
but it is more dangerous than your local wallet. Website can run away, like mtgox, mintal, cryptsy.
If you already know that exchanges can mess up big time, and are not a safe way of storing coins, then why do you even mention to store it there? Doesn't really make sense. No matter how big or trustworthy an exchange is, offline cold storage where you are the only entity holding the private keys is the only way to go. Better safe than sorry, right? I would buy a few Casascius coins, a few Trezors, and then a few paper wallets and store them in multiple locations. It's possible to diversify your crypto even if you want to stay in crypto. Casascius coins are basically doing the same as what a paper wallet does, but the difference here is that the private key is sticked to something a bit more good looking.  Haha that's definitely true! It is a pretty interesting edge case though since the value doesn't perfectly reflect the amount stored on it. As the price of BTC goes down usually their BTC value will increase, but as BTC goes up, the premium over face value people are willing to pay has tended to go down. I like to think of it as a hedge. Plus they're pretty to look at which is nice! |

Yeah, I mean they have to report something positive at some point when the price has been rising for so long. I'm sure if the price crashed they will post twice as many articles and extremely quickly. They know that their viewers love hearing negative things about it. Everyone loves to hear that someone else lost money to make themselves feel better about not investing. Glad to see they're giving the space a little positive press though!

I am curious about the idea that is it possible to change the name of bitcoin or suppose the name of any altcoin if the developers or the owner of bitcoin or the altcoin want to change it? what will the developer do if they will want?
The cool thing about Bitcoin is that the developers don't control it, the network can do whatever they want and if the majority of the network adopts a change then that is the new truth! I know a lot of people have considered it to get away from the drama in Bitcoin's early days but I would be pretty sad if the name was ever changed, it's lasted so long already! |

I heard that Starbucks already started to accept bitcoin as payment. I don't imagine how it work exactly, because of I have no place here that would accept bitcoin. But I think such transactions in place that work with bitcoin all operations provided as fast as with a card.
I think that you're thinking of foldapp which used to offer a discount when you used them to purchase starbucks. It worked by them buying discounted gift cards in bulk and then passing that savings on to Bitcoin users. I'm not sure if it is still around though, I know they had supply issues and had trouble scaling with demand. |

So as of this moment, I'm only earning bitcoin through a signature campaign here on bitcointalk forum.
How are you earning bitcoin?
Signature campaign is a good way to win a bitcoin. I do not recommend faucet sites. Have you lost time on the empty places of your faucet sites But there is a better way to win a bitcoin. Signature campaigns are one of these methods. You can also trade bitcoins in stock markets. Do you think that it is worth the time and effort of participating in a signature campaign? Most of the ones I have seen pay an extremely low amount relative to the effort involved and you would have to actively try to post. I suppose it depends on how engaged of a user you are and if you regularly participate in threads. |

If it still exists and is known by the same name I will be very surprised! I definitely see countries creating their own crypto coins and having national blockchains. I think it will always have a niche market for those wanting to circumvent fiat but who knows! I'm sure individuals during the dot com boom could have never pictured HD streaming and all of the other insane advances we have made in the last 20 years.

If it sounds like a scam... It probably is a scam. That is usually a pretty good rule to live by, even more so in the crypto space!

Alt coins are definitely a place where new things can be tested and innovations can be implimented. It is a lot easier to try things out on an alt coin then something like Bitcoin with a $16 billion market cap. Not a lot of room for error there...

Price is tracking BU's odds to win. Bitcoin economic majority = market wants BU and on-chain scaling now.
Bullshit and you know it. The market gives zero fucks about this trashware called BU. There are many complaints about high fees and long queue waiting times. The market does give a fuck and miners are going to answer its demands. In the market there is always a cause and an effect, it will definitely be interesting to see how this all pans out. Something has to give but I'm not entirely sure what it is yet. |

It's usually illegal activity that is forced to innovate first. Think about it, criminals are usually participating in a market that has higher friction than any other. They have to constantly innovate to prevent themselves from getting caught! It is unfortunate that so many people only correlate Bitcoin with negative thing because of it though.
