Agreed. I think panic buying has discontinue for now. BU FUD who seems to be obvious here, has become quiet. What we are seeing for me is the correction price of bitcoin at $1100. It will continue to rise in a steady manner, which is really good for the bitcoin ecosystem. We don't want to higher price swings because if this happens, they would be an equal price dip as well. BU vs Core split has simmer a little bit, so we will enjoy a price rise for a bit until another FUD is being spread out in our community.

Who Should Decide For Bitcoin: True Decentralization Need Not Be Absolute


The current Bitcoin scaling conflict boils down not only to technology but also to money, politics and the understanding of democracy in the crypto community. Both factions are claiming that the other one is trying to prevent Bitcoin’s growth or take it under control. There are also theories abound that insist the opposite side is waging an information war, secretly funded by big money (Blockstream for SegWit and Roger Ver for BU).

The understanding of democracy is also very important. We wrote how a fork of Dash, PIVX, have embarked on a project that they claim will achieve absolute decentralization within the DLT community. They believe that Satoshi’s original intention was a community where millions of individuals would be mining away on their GPUs, thereby suggesting how to achieve an absolutely democratic community.

Who decides for Bitcoin

In the various DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) communities currently in existence, power and control appear to have become partially centralized. This is evident by the existence of massive mining farms in the Bitcoin Blockchain technology and the systems of masternode acquisition in other communities like Dash.

The power to vote on any new development within these communities, therefore, is determined by the extent of hashing power or masternodes controlled by members of the communities. This implies that the decisions of the few miners happen to override whatever the larger population may want within the community.

Hesham Rehman of Bitxoxo says:

Some communities and big mining pools are trying to control Bitcoin but I think they will fail.”]“Some communities and big mining pools are trying to control Bitcoin but I think they will fail.

He explains: “Though I would refer to Bitcoin as a technology rather than just a currency, like every technology needs some upgrade from time to time, Bitcoin Core would also need some upgrade. Like in previous days we saw BTU fork. But I think that the change in Bitcoin technology should take place considering the opinions of the global Bitcoin community rather than imposition by a group of people.”

Hmmm your first post here is about getting an admin account on btc-e? is this correct?


Why are you having seconds thoughts in telling them? Tell them ASAP and they might give you a reward.


There you go. Those btc are not yours, so it you take it something that does not belong to you in a way that is wrong or illegal.


You don't need the opinion of our community member here. This is stealing and its illegal. You don't need others to tell you that.

And I don't think btc-e is stupid enough to make this kind of mistake and to let you or your friends create admin account there as easy as that.

Nadal has more chances to reach the finals as compare to Federer. Of course we love to see those 2 getting in the finals again. But Federer game is not as sharp lately and I think he's body is aching and he needs rest. Nadal lead Fognini head to head, although this one will be a close finish, I think Nadal will win against the Italian. As much as I want to see Nadal vs Federer for the trophy, I'm leaning towards Nadal vs Kyrgios for the finals.

Because peers share a similar discourse, allowing for greater understanding. And their peers are the people to whom they associate through daily interaction of the course of their years together and the acceptable social norms are taught and fostered. So it really has a significant contribution specially in learning or education. I think we can all relate to this during our educational years. We band ourselves with our peers and friends and together we learn not just in education but other facets in our life as we grow along.

Its been more than a week since the OP open this thread. And it looks like we didn't see a price jump since(still almost $1100). Looks like  this is a correction price right now. But I still feel confident that the market price will rise in a few weeks since FUD has become quieter as well and the BU hard fork has lost its momentum. So let just commit ourselves to get some bitcoin because the price is still good to buy and hold in for the long term or at least the end of the year and see profits.

Duterte will remain a demi-god to the Filipino populace. But the question is how long can President Duterte sustain his status depends largely on the time when Fiipino people realized that the development of the country demand more than just a charismatic talk to put food in the mouth of hungry and poor families. In addition, it will be in the best interest of populist movement to understand that the President needs to strengthen the Philippine democracy rather than undermining its democratic institutions.

Yes just considered losing part of the game. Just don't get frustrated and its really hard specially for beginners and you might to give up already. But you also have to spend time and ponder because even the greatest of investors experienced loses. Its how you battle the worst market that throw at you. You have to lost some money on the way to earning tons of it. Then it will be sweet feeling knowing the roadblocks that you go through at the end.

Portland getting its 5th straight win over Houston. I think they are the hottest team for the month of March. The win also put them 1.5 games ahead of Denver Nuggets for the 8th and last playoff spot. Nurkic totaling 19 points and 11 rebounds to help Portland took the with the win. Lillard also has a nice game with 12 points. This is the 2nd loss in a row for the Rockets after a 4 game winning streak. Next stop is against the Warriors again just 3 days after losing to them at home.

At least Duterte has the balls to to fulfill what he has promise, unlike other Presidents, who once get elected forgot all his campaign promises. He just  inherited the past administrations problems and now trying to fix things which he didn't started at the first place. But being the President now, he has nothing to do but try to straighten things up. For him, there is a difference between killing an innocent person and killing a criminal. We may or may not agree with him, but I believe that those who are guilty should be punished, however, due process has to be observed. We need to live in a world governed by law.

Bitcoin unlimited Supporter Jihan Wu Feels The Economic Majority in Bitcoin is Irrelevant

Jihan Wu has successfully shocked the bitcoin world once again by making a rather controversial statement. In his opinion, economic majority is irrelevant. That statement is not entirely surprising, considering how Wu supports Bitcoin Unlimited. Ignoring the economic majority is not a valid option by any means, though.

If there is one thing the bitcoin scaling debate has made abundantly clear, it is how Bitcoin Unlimited fails to gain economic support. To be more precise, exchanges, wallets, and other bitcoin service providers do not see Unlimited as the official bitcoin. Instead, they might support BU as an altcoin, effectively reducing its chance of success. Then again, that was to be expected for a proposal that wants to fork bitcoin.

Jihan Wu feels the economic consensus shouldn’t matter in the scaling debate. That is quite an odd statement, considering bitcoin would not be where it is today without service providers and users. Unfortunately for Bitcoin Unlimited, the majority of bitcoin users doesn’t seem to like this project by any means, and it is doubtful they will ever support it. Without the users and anyone else who is not a miner, bitcoin has very little value.

We can try to do this one and and this is a small and easy thing to do to make a statement to the government. However, I don't think that the Indian goverment doesn't care about the petition. It will just add fuel to them to regulate the bitcoin is India. India is turning a blind eye on bitcoin, and will surely miss bitcoin in terms of online payment method.

I read that there is a virtual currency club or association in India which aim is to lobby government to recognize bitcoin trading? Any news about them?

For me the whales will not simply go away from bitcoin ecosystem they are going to stay at the background and grab every opportunity to gain huge profits.While bitcoin's volatility provides opportunities for small time traders like us, imagine how big whales will take advantage of the situation, thus manipulating the price of bitcoin. However, if we, the bitcoin user base keeps expanding in the future and help improve trading volume, then the market price of bitcoin will be less dependent on speculation and would make it less influence by those whales out there.

Damn. I was quite surprise to see this news about Taaki he just went AWOL and re-surfaces now with this?

Here's a thread I found in our forum looking for him.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1091258.0

Exactly. When you see that the market price of bitcoin dive, we panic right away and sell it in fear of losing your investment if you hold on it. But i think you should do the opposite, you should continue to buy when the price of bitcoin nose dive and hold on for the long haul even if the price continue to drop. And for sure, when the drop of bitcoin rise again, you will get a good amount of profits in the long end.

We can't blame those who panic and sell their bitcoin. It is typically driven by FUD, so what we can do is to use our decision that is based on careful thought and one should not be driven by fear that the bitcoin ecosystem will decline. Yes, we don't like this wide scale selling of bitcoin, but for some this is taking advantage of the system to turn a profit. Typically, large investors or whales who try to manipulate the price of bitcoin because of the desire to maximize their profits.

Its really hard to understand what is inside the mind of a gambler. They always have eyes for the a big jackpot and are will to take the risk just to take that easy route to earn big money. For them, you win some, then lose some. They have grown your money, then it begins to shrink, but still at the back of their mind just one more win and they can win it all back and more. Such is the hope of the gambler. The next game could be the big win. Just one more. But just like any other game, you loss it all at the end.

Yeah. Its hard to have a full btc in my wallet as well.Gambling for me is out of the question now. I would rather trade than put money on gambling. I think its possible to earn 1 btc a month for some specially for highly skilled trader here. As for those skilled worker, its possible to earn 1 bitcoin or more as well. Its just a combination of opportunity and skills that is match against an job opening. There are lot of opportunity to get 1 bitcoin a month, you just have to got skill to either trade or do freelance.

MANILA, Philippines — The European Union on Monday summoned a Philippine envoy to explain an expletive-laden tirade by President Rodrigo Duterte, who threatened to hang EU officials for opposing his efforts to re-impose the death penalty.

The EU's external action service, the equivalent of a foreign office, said it hauled Charge d'Affaires Alan Deniega in to its Brussels headquarters to provide "an explanation for the recent, unacceptable comments of President Duterte."

The move highlights growing European exasperation with the president. Earlier, the EU denied his allegations that it proposed solving the Philippines' drug problem by creating treatment clinics where illegal drugs such as methamphetamine or cocaine would be dispensed.

The EU Delegation to the Philippines issued a statement saying it has not "suggested, discussed, proposed or considered the use of any substitution drugs when treating addiction to methamphetamine ... or any other drug addiction in the Philippines." It did not mention Duterte by name.

Duterte, who has lashed out at the EU repeatedly for raising human rights concerns over his deadly crackdown on illegal drugs, said in a speech Friday the EU had proposed a "health-based solution" to the drug problem that involved dispensing methampetamine, locally known as shabu, cocaine or heroin.

He branded the supposed EU proposal a "government-sponsored idiotic exercise."
