A province in Pakistan has made DNA testing compulsory in rape cases, part of ongoing national reforms to improve support for victims

The province of Punjab in Pakistan has made DNA testing compulsory in rape cases. It is part of ongoing national reforms, the Anti-Rape Laws, which also require verdicts to be announced within three months, allow victims to testify via video, and require that female police officers are present during the collection of evidence.

Although this is good reform to start with, but I doubt is enough for the protection of women specially in Punjab province.  We all know that rape in Pakistan came into international attention after Mukhtaran Bibi survived a gang rape, as a form of honour revenge.

If you would remember, their is one Indian politician who raised concerns on the growth of bitcoin in their country and wants the Indian government to declare bitcoin illegal their. With this kind of news, justification of such ban will be automatic I guess. But I hope Indian government will used better judgement and be fair in bitcoin because such crimes as mentioned could be also accomplished even with fiat. Bitcoin should not be blamed for such crimes and criminals will always find a ways to commit illegal ways with or without bitcoin technology.

The officer thought that he can get away with withdrawing the bitcoin, but he didn't know that bitcoin is pseudo-anoymous that's why the Indian police traced who withdraw it. Unfortunately for the officer, it was greed that made him to do it. Maybe he was bribe by the accused drug dealers to get the money and split it between the two of them. Too bad he was caught.

I hope they will not fall on the FUD spread twice. For those who are, I think you learned your lessons now. FUD in our community will still be there, they are like cancer here, but it's still up to those member to listen to them or not. My advise is to used your better judgement.  Regarding $1300 market price, I think we are going to test it again within a few days or weeks because we are at $1200++. The trend points to the direction that the market price will continue to go up, so bitcoin ecosystem really looks bright in the future.

Hello Admiralspot,

I just realized today, I was the first member in this forum to promote your site here. Please check out the thread I started here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1809289.0

I even chat your support team to advertise here. Is there such a bounty for my effort? 

Love to join your signature campaign, but unfortunately, I was late in applying.

Anyways, more power to you. And hope to hear from you soon.

So technically, its impossible to banned bitcoin because it will take gargantuan task for every government around the world to put a stop to any thing bitcoin related. But let say they successfully banned bitcoin globally, I think there will still be someone holding bitcoin, but has it has no value. Maybe they would hold in at some sort of memorabilia.  and hoping that one day it will be unbanned and will make fortunes in the bitcoin they kept.

Exactly. If they want faster transaction then put enough fees to get it confirm right away. Then also don't understand that it also depends on how many inputs, a lot of small inputs equals to higher transaction fees because it has more data. My last transaction that I sent arrived to the recipient within 5-10 minutes so I don't have any issues, I say that this study significant as it is, is completely rubbish. They just make things complicated,

I have used this strategy before and I must say that it will not guarantee you to profit and maybe loss in the end. You still has 8% chance of losing. Believed me losing twice in a row is possible even if you put 92% chance of winning. I even won more 15x straight and I was happy and increase my bet as my bankroll increases as well. But as the roll continues, I experienced 2x or even 3x losses. So this is not a safe strategy for winning. IMHO.

Alas!!! I have found someone who understands that gambling and superstitious go hand and hand. I saw a lot of members here saying that they don't believe in superstition. But I think most of them didn't know that at one time or another, they apply superstition in betting without knowing it. Like picking their birthdate to put in a lotto is already superstition per se. And I'm not saying its a guarantee for you to win if believe in it, what I'm trying to drive at is that you have something to lean on like you are invincible and because of that positive attitude you attract aura or an intangible energy that helps so in a winning mode.

This is a response to North Korea's ballistic testing in the Sea of Japan. And it has carried several nuclear test that the US says could lead towards developing nuclear weapons that could reach US seaboard. I lauded President Trump for deploying a US aircraft carrier to deter North Korea to further continue testing this nuclear capability. Even Trump says that he is willing to act even without China's cooperation.

Considering all of this, I still hope that war should be averted at all cost because lives of innocent people will be lost. Diplomatic channels should be used instead to prevent the conflict of both nation.

This is a bold prediction mate. I don't think that $260 price is likely to happen even there's a change in protocol as you have mentioned. My speculation is that it will only get into the $700 range. For me $3,000 by the end of the year seems "realistic" but somewhere in the region of $2,000 to $2,500 is a safer prediction. Japanese market flooding the bitcoin ecosystem with cash flow is also a good indication that the price of bitcoin will continue to rise up to the end of the year.

And just like any other politicians, this dude is just riding on the popularity of bitcoin. He doesn't know anything about bitcoin. He needs to research more before calling it a ponzi or pyramiding scheme.

At the time, the politician cited unnamed experts to base his concerns of the world’s largest cryptocurrency – now a legal method of payment in Japan – being a pyramid scheme and called for Indian financial authorities to regulate bitcoin.

Why don't he named his so called experts? Maybe his so called experts has used bitcoin in the past as well in ponzi scheme. LOL.   They should follow what Japan did. I think Indians will surely find a way to used or trade bitcoin in the market.

I think the whole scaling issue or debate will not stop bitcoin from touching $1300 again. We are feeling the effect of Japan accepting bitcoin legally so the demand for bitcoin has increased. As I have said in other thread, Japan could possible overtake Chinese in terms of bitcoin usage and trading volume in the next month that will push the price of bitcoin even more. Also alt-coin pump is over and investors are going into bitcoin once again so $1300 is close enough. I speculate by mid May or end of May we are going to see this price realize.

I haven't watch the fight yet. but it looks like the fight end as what I have predicted, by submission. Based on what I have read, DC took a huge kick in the head and has his nose broken or bleeding. He has a solid chin that has not been crack yet which also help him in this fight. I'll give props to Rumble as well, but DC is too much for him, too bad AJ is retiring already. As for Weidman, yeah I think he's done. He can't compete with the top dogs in his division.  Will try to watch it later and will add my analysis if needed.

One country that legally accepts bitcoin is Japan. As you can see, there's no need to market bitcoin there as Japanese people are accepting it enthusiastically.

So you are correct, it really depends on the country if they legalized or against bitcoin. For countries that's against it, local owners or merchants will be facing a huge barrier promoting or accepting bitcoin as payment specially if you have a offline business. On the contrary, if you have a on-line business, you just have to put an option you are accepting bitcoin as mode of payment. Let bitcoin promote itself in your website. Maybe other will be curious as to what bitcoin is, and will probably use it as mode of payment when they understand how bitcoin works and what advantage they can have if they use it as payment scheme.

It is not to late to save Mother Earth and we as individual should change our perception on the environment. This is the price to pay for our technological advancement. Global warming, greenhouse effect and other ills that caused our planet to suffer. Making a difference for the future of Planet Earth doesn't have to include huge life changing choices. Some of the most important things are simple lifestyle changes that, if we can all commit to, will create a huge reduction in our ecological footprint.

I think one time or another, we experienced disappointment in trading because it didn't work out in our favor. We invest time and money but in the just end up frustrated and so disappointed at time. I also learnt my lessons very well as newbie in trading, not just put all your investment in one alt-coins. But I have to agree to some of comments here that we should not give up and quit trading but rather used all the experience and the knowledge we have gain in our advantage so that in the end, we can get back our investment and more.

Bitcoin 2017 year has been great gaining momentum from the previous year. Getting ATH this year is an accomplishment. Experienced a lot of ups and downs, but still bitcoin is standing. Their's still a major roadblock ahead, which is the scaling issue. Debate has been going on, but I hope when the dust settles, we will see bitcoin ecosystem to flourish more. We are not even half of the year, but the price of bitcoin is looking good. We all hope that the price will continue to rise so that another ATH will be achieved at the end of the year.

That's what you gonna love with the Japanese, they are truly embracing bitcoin like no other countries. I hope other country will follow Japan in accepting bitcoin as mode of on-line payment so that we may see bitcoin mass adopted sooner than we think. With Japanese media covering as well, it will reach far because Japan loves technology and innovation there has greater impact to the world. No wonder, Japan will overtake China as the no. 1 country in terms of bitcoin used and trade volumes, so I'm expecting a really bright future for bitcoin ecosystem.

Yes this is very true. It was more pronounce in a offline casino (landbase) because they are always there playing when I visited a certain casino. I always watch her on how she played or how she lose. But I also notice that their is a financier always waiting for her to borrow her money so that she can continue playing. So I think she is very addicted to gambling. But if you wouldn't know her, you wouldn't spot her as gambling addict because she is well dressed and beautiful maybe she is rich and her past time is gambling I guess.
