Yep, I stayed away from these ones as it got to be a trend for every single ICO to be via ETH and to be honest I'm not a massive fan of ETH.

I would hope that they would provide an update to include BU support otherwise many will go elsewhere.

I saw the same article and it annoyed me too, I suppose a shop could start accepting bitcoin payments and might have given training or sent an email to their staff to let them know about it and the process and the staff members could have just not paid attention.

I am familiar with this franchise and they have bitcoin atms in their stores also, I would be surprised if they did not know that they accept bitcoin as a payment method.

People who write articles like this should at least spend a bit of time and look at the history of the topic they are writing about to get a full picture of then and now / before and after, bitcoin has come a long way, this article could easily have been written 3 or 4 years ago and would have made more sense.

Definitely Bittrex, it is one of the decent exchanges that has only every had a couple of issues but nothing major since I have been aware of it.  there is also another exchange that has recently popped up that might be worth keeping an eye on but bear in mind it is new so I would not trust it with tons of bitcoin just yet Bitgrail is it's name.

I don't get this article, I read it and it seemed at the end to just stop with no summary or purpose behind the article beyond the obvious oh it must be for illegal activity.  I think the article would have been a lot better if it was an impartial one and had some type of summing up at the end.

The actual content of the article is fair enough, bitcoin is hard to spend in physical shops depending on where you are situated, that particular store of CEX is different to the one where I have been to, the one I went to was up to speed with bitcoin and it was a straight forward payment but I suppose the exposure in the Guardian is something useful.

I think I will just even it out so everyone gets the same amount of bitcoin.

Depending on how much you manage to get before you pass you could have some kind of system where each month you would have a portion of their bitcoin sent to a wallet which you will have already created for them, either way it is definitely something that we all should give some thought to.

Although it might be one of the reasons why business is not adopting bitcoin, I think the volatility is one of the reasons that many traders use bitcoin.  I think if bitcoin was tamed it would lose its appeal to some.

I know it is possible with some of the providers such as Spectrocoin and the other ones, although not as an unverified user, you need to pass their verification process to receive deposits from 3rd parties.  I could be wrong but I have seen this mentioned in some of their terms.

It is horrible when this happens and right now there is no central body that actively tackles these issues I don't think anyway.  All we can do is make sure we have 2fa on and try not to keep too much on these exchanges.

I would suggest working with Poloniex to gather as much information as you can so you have something to hand over when reporting it, there may be some kind of cybercrime unit in your juristiction, sorry for your loss but I fear it will be very difficult to get your funds back.

There are a lot of people having the same issue I have seen over the last few weeks.

Check out https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ you can see all this information there along with links to the coin websites and bitcointalk threads, best to do your own research when investing your cash. 

I know you said you convinced Mychoice to keep the limits but isn't there a new EU anti money laundering regulation that came into play on the 26th June with strict rules for unverified cards? so are you guys simply ignoring this? I would imagine this will cause you issues?

WBB, soon to change to DLS and not one that many seem to be aware of, https://www.dlsag.ch//

In the UK you need your ID and also proof of address, this is usually in the form of a utility bill or a similar document, this has always been the case with all the banks I have come across.

I thought Blackcoin was dead after it flew a couple of years ago, apparently I was wrong, time to check out what's been happening.

Not afraid of August the 1st just very curious to see what happens apthough nothing noticable will actually happen on August the 1st, it will take a bit of time for things to work out.

Like the graphic, it is the year to hold I see a lot of things happening, more and more companies are adopting blockchain technology and once we have passed through segwit we should see good things.

Udemy is good, every so often they have a massive sale so you might be able to grab some courses for $10

There are things coming up that should alleviate the pressure of the high fees, if your really have no need for your money for 2/3 years then by that time bitcoin will be in a much better place when you start to use your bitcoin again.

Lucky if you have success with any of them, it depends on how greedy you are as you can get away with small profit but if you expect anything big then you will end up losing out.

I like the sentiment behind this idea but I feel awareness of bitcoin is not at the level that would make this a practical idea. 

Many homeless people might not have a phone or a bank account to cash out, maybe in the future when it is recognised and accepted more it would work.
