Thank you

Bitcoin is gearing up for what could be the biggest (and least understood) change to its software to date.

Often called simply a "digital currency," bitcoin is best viewed as a protocol (a set of code) that delivers data (in this case bitcoins) in defined quantities (called blocks) that are then stored in a sequence (called a blockchain) on a distributed set of global computers. Bitcoin is decentralized – in that many people help make the network function, and in choosing to run its software, users all agree to abide by the same rules to keep it operational.

It's these qualities that make the proposed change particularly divisive.

Called Segwit2x, the plan calls for a very specific fork (or a change to bitcoin's rules), one that would make certain rules valid that weren't valid before. Specifically, Segwit2x would change the size of the blocks passed regularly around the network and stored in the blockchain from 1 MB to 2 MB.

Some users think this is a good idea, others don't.

But to begin, it's important to note how this fork differs from others. Coming on the heels of the bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold forks, bitcoin users might be accustomed to certain outcomes – ones that might not be guaranteed in the case of Segwit2x.

With bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold, for example, bitcoin users could have paid little to no attention and it wouldn't have impacted their transactions. If you held bitcoin on certain exchanges (or your own wallet), you received new cryptocurrency.

This smooth outcome, however, isn't guaranteed with Segwit2x. Complicating matters is that in many ways, Segwit2x sounds (and is) similar to other bitcoin forks.

Like other recent forks, Segwit2x is:

An alternative software – A modification of the bitcoin software run by network participants and that enforces the protocol rules. In this case, Segwit2x's code is called BTC1.
An attempt to increase the block size – Most forks focus on one specific rule of the network (block size), despite other possible optimizations that could lead to capacity boosts.
A hard fork – Anyone whose software is not upgraded to the new rules will no longer be a part of the network.
It's the differences, however, that stand out this time around.

First and foremost, whereas bitcoin cash developers appeared content to create a new blockchain (with new rules), Segwit2x's goal is to keep all bitcoin's existing users on one blockchain.

In this way, Segwit2x could have different outcomes.

These include:

Bitcoin's rules change. Most (or all) miners upgrade their software. The bitcoin blockchain continues to function but features larger blocks. Segwit2x's rules become the rules of bitcoin.
Two bitcoins are created. Only some miners upgrade their software. This creates two blockchains – a so-called "legacy" bitcoin, and a "Segwit2x" bitcoin, both with different rules and unique cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin's rules do not change. No significant miners run the new software, and the network continues to run the current rules.

The rise of bitcoin is seeing an increasing number of students signing up for cryptocurrency classes at top computer science schools such as Stanford.

According to Dan Boneh, co-director of the Stanford Computer Security Lab and professor of cryptography, he is attracting a large number of people to his cryptocurrency courses. As a cryptography researcher for almost 30 years, Boneh began teaching a bitcoin and cryptocurrency class in 2015, attracting more than 100 students. His online cryptography course has seen over one million signing up, reports CNBC.

As a result of bitcoin’s increase in value more students are turning their attention to learning more about them. To date, the digital currency has hit a new all-time high near $6,500 pushing its market value above $100 billion. It’s no surprise then that a rising interest is being experienced. Aside from the huge attraction in the valuation of cryptocurrencies, Boneh believes that they have another benefit too.

Only trusted members with reputation!

Like every other investment such as real estate, stocks and other forms of investment we know that you can invest in that kind of things and then you get something like say a Certificate or a Binding Document as a proof that you are part of that investment, now that of bitcoin all you have is just your address, your password, key and seeds as proof of the ownership of the wallet.

BTC

So now if one is considering buying bitcoins and saving for his/her children in the future is there any way to do that with bitcoins apart from having to write down your details somewhere. I'm asking because with that kind of stuff if no one knows your seeds or password no one can get the coins.

The historic bitcoin giveaway will be conducted following presentations starting on October 26. Palm Beach Group also promises that a ‘special mystery guest’ will attend the event, revealing that the guest is an early pioneer bitcoin pioneer and co-founder of the world’s second largest cryptocurrency. The training event will be presented by Palm Beach Group’s Teeka Tiwari.

Mr. Tiwari told news.Bitcoin.com that a desire to “get bitcoin into everyday people’s hands” was the primary inspiration for the $1 million dollar bitcoin giveaway. Mr. Tiwari states that Palm Beach Group “want to demystify the process of owning and storing bitcoin,” adding that all new technological phenomena “can be intimidating. Whether it was using a mouse and keyboard for the first time, logging onto the Internet or even sending an email. In the early days of those technologies, these simple tasks represented major mental hurdles for most non-technical folks. Today a five-year-old can log on and send their grandparents an email.”

BTG is a scammy cash-grab with no ideology and no economic support, not something serious like Bcash was.

Anyone can create a Bitcoin-derived altcoin like "Bitcoin Gold" (BTG) at any time with no cost. BTG is a scammy cash-grab with no ideology and no economic support, not something serious like Bcash was. That's not to say that it's impossible to make money by trading it, just like with other scamcoins, but I'm not going to get into the habit of writing announcements and guidance for every Bitcoin-derived scamcoin. If you want to do a dangerous replay-unprotected coin-split maneuver in order to claim tiny fractions of your BTC in airdrop value, that's on you.

I will write a guide later for B2X (split time in mid-November), which is more serious. After that, the bar is going to be awfully high to get me to announce similar things.

That's from 2011. I recently looked over some of my transaction from last year. I wanted to withdraw 100$, and value increased almost 10 times. It almost makes me cry haha

Hey.

I have 5 BTC available I've earned over the last few days, and i want to see how hard it is to actually turn them into money for me.
I am looking for $30 for all 5.
I will accept payment for the 5 BTC via Paypal and will consider other payment methods.
I will also require some sort of proof that you are trustworthy, and have done similar purchases to this before. I'm just trying to watch my own back for my first trade.

I think the price of bitcoin at the end of 2018 will be $ 8000.Because nowadays the demand for bitcoin is more,so in future it will go to very good price.But some researches says that it will go $ 20K but i don't think it will go to that much,but who knows maybe it will.If it does everyone will be happy.Lets see how much it will go until that we have to wait.
