The Bitcoin Scaling Countdown: Miners Begin Running Segwit2x SoftwareMiners Begin Running the New Segwit2x Software As the price of bitcoin dropped to new lows this weekend, some bitcoin proponents were patiently waiting for the promised BTC1 software. Now it seems in a short period of time the bitcoin ‘community’ may see the protocol Segregated Witness (Segwit) activated as the mining community has begun to signal BIP91. The proposal BIP91 is a combination of Segwit2x and BIP148. The version 1.14.4 code has been pushed to the repository by the Segwit2x working group, and a few mining pools have already started running the protocol. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-scaling-countdown-miners-segwit2x-software/And so it began...

Billion-dollar Unregulated Gaming Industry to Embrace Blockchain
Video games started off as arcade machines in the early eighties and were available only in designated areas. However, in the nineties, they migrated to game consoles, and with the emergence of high-speed internet access, they have become one of the most popular entertainment items for millions of people worldwide. This has all made gaming a very attractive industry. However, the market has expanded far beyond the reach of companies and corporations that produce and distribute computer games: due to online platforms like Steam, an entire economy-within-an-economy has emerged. Surprisingly enough for many, it dealt with so-called skins rather than with real money. A skin is effectively a piece of digital content that alters the visual appearance of certain in-game elements like items or characters without having any effect on gameplay. A seemingly innocent thing that dealt mostly with a player’s vanity has unexpectedly become highly sought-after. https://coinidol.com/unregulated-gaming-industry-to-embrace-blockchain/

$10,000 per bitcoin is maybe possible by 2020 if more countries and enough business start to use bitcoin. my prediction for another few month bitcoin price will around 1600-3000 and 5000 next year.
Hmm interesting, as you said 2020 yeah it can be reach to $10,000 till 2020, but in my opinion it will reach soon because as people taking interesting in bitcoin. So that's why bitcoin is playing role of segWit. So we can say that it will boost more than a past and present as bitcoin improving the disadvantages into pros. Its possible to reach this price in 2020, but I guess realistically if everything went smooth after Aug 1 then its possible around 2018 we will see the price can touch 10000$. Its still a long way to go before we see the price touches it but want I like is that there are a lot of people here are very optimistic about the price of bitcoin in the future. And I hope those prediction will come to reality. But now, we need to past the hurdles of a looming split, if there is. |

I have sent BTC yesterday but one day passed it is not confirmed, I have raised mining fee, this sucks.
We cannot state or rather claim that bitcoin will die soon just because of the basis that bitcoin's price value is continuously dumping. We must think this as an opportunity to buy bitcoins and wait for the effect to happen after the segwit fork if it will matter the price pump or not. We just have to wait and hope for the best result to happen. Correct. The price dumping is not a indicator that bitcoin will die just like that. Bitcoin has also crashed in 2013 after the bubble has been burst. But then bitcoin did not die but a lot of investors take advantage of it and hold on bitcoin. And fast forward 2017 the price rise to an unprecedented level making a lot of millionaires. So this should be our mindset about the current situation and not spread FUD around. |

I saw the press conference it was crazy ,Mayweather owned some of the spots in those conference and it was an entertaining one,when it comes to real fight i do think this will be a one sided match where we could see Conor finding it hard to counter Mayweather.
I'm also seeing that scenario as well. The first few rounds will be critical for Connor. He needs to get going otherwise Mayweather will take over. I don't know if Connor will do some dirty tactics like hitting below the belt of roughing up Mayweather to make him uncomfortable. I'm seeing a Maidana like strategy for Connor. But I guess Mayweather is too genius and he will definitely overcome it and will win this fight easy. |

It really depends on who you are targeting, if you focus on the job hires then indeed and linkedin.
If it's gamers then Steam and other sources
If it's general youtube so the approach would be tailor fit for the demographic age and category of person you think is your primary consumer.
How internet marketing is the relevant to the job hiring in Linkedin or indeed and other factors you mentioned. You need to check the marketing company with the various option available in online. I hope Google adwords and Youtube channel are best option to market in online which is out of bitcoin. These methods are effective. But the use of social networks is also of great importance. And you also need to write your own blog, where to write cognitive articles that would help people make money in your project Blog is also another good strategy to target your audience. But then again, you need to established authority in your subject matter and you need to write good articles, hundreds or even thousands to be able to get a lot of audience. And once you are already established then it would be very easy for you to get customers through affiliate link in your blog. |

How's the ICO is doing? Are you still on schedule with regards to the target amount?
Currently it stands at 400 595 425 TGT COINS SOLD as I see in the website.
Hi, yes. The ICO is going good. It is slow as the ether prices have fallen down and affecting the ICOs. How's is the price of ETH which is going down affecting the ICO? I hope it is affecting in the positive way because ETH is cheap and that investors can buy it and invest in Target Coin. I hope this is the case. I'm just wondering if you guys just accepts ETH as investment? And why? I'm sorry if this has been ask before. |

Whatever it is, at the moment, it has had such a huge impact on bitcoin. Well, now it has not happened yet, but makes such a big impact on bitcoin prices. If this really happened, maybe the impact will be more severe because of panic, but it could also be the opposite when it does not happen.
We are only seeing half of the impact of the news regarding Aug 1 segwit activation. So we have to braced for the next shit storm that will be coming in Aug 1. But its all good, the weak hands has been shaken already. Others may really find this dipping a good time to buy back bitcoin. But I'm still thinking that after everything settles down, bitcoin will be back to normal price of $2000 or greater and may even more than that. So we just need to hold on your bitcoin. |

Gambling with other's money is suicide as you will feel a lot more pressure than you normally does. This does not increase your chance of winning games. In fact, you will lose more than you win as you have the need to bet more frequently or on games that you are not confident. You will not know how to answer to the person if you lose a percentage of the money. I would bet with my own money which is fine if I lose my capital.
I wish everybody thought like this before they try their own hand at gambling because it is more than likely you will lose and not care since it is not your own money so in a sense "free money" to you and you will not be as remorseful when you lose it then if it was your own. Well if you used other's money then chances are you can't repay it because if you think you can get it from gambling then you are dead wrong. But gamblers wont thought of that in the beginning. They just thinking of playing that money in hope to win. But after they lost, they mindset will chance and think that they should not gamble the money that they borrow in the first place. |

Will bitcoin go under 2000 dollars until august 1?
I'm planning on buying 1 whole bitcoin, but I don't have that much money. I only have 1950 around dollars.
Should I wait to buy a whole bitcoin or just buy 0.8 btc now?
There is a possibility. As of now, Bitcoin is at around $2070 based from coinmarketcap.com. And since it is too early to have a panic, we may see Bitcoin going below the 2000 dollar line on the following days. The probability of going lower than $2000 is high so if you want, you can wait until you can buy a whole Bitcoin but 0.8BTC is a good enough for me. It is your call, though. The price is fluctuating and I think its will hit below $2000 in the next days. Sadly to see the price going down hard, but for me its a good time to get a few bitcoin and saved it. I think if you could have wait for a few minutes your target to buy 1 full BTC will happened. Just wait a little longer mate and you will be lucky to get one and I suggest you hold on it until you can. Segwit2x really points that bitcoin price will go high once activated. |

It wasn't a poor final, as many people seem to be suggesting. It was a poor second set. The first set was top class, in terms of quality and intensity. Muguruza maintained (or even slightly raised) her level in the second set, and Venus wasn't able to stay with her (for potentially a variety of reasons).
Also, how predictable, lazy and reductive to use a poor set of tennis as yet another stick to beat the women's game with. It's been a fascinating, exciting, high quality tournament on the women's side and had Venus been able to raise her game, the final would've been incredible but the young'un won the physical and mental battle.
Williams pushed her foe to the brink in the opening set before Muguruza's stamina appeared to overwhelm the five-time Wimbledon winner en route to a bagel scoreline in the second set. Given her age, there's no telling where the ceiling is, and Muguruza again confirmed her place as one of the top draws in tennis, adding a Wimbledon title to her 2016 French Open triumph. |

I was a little bit of trouble getting my bitcoin, karna is still new, please help master  Take note of some of the suggestions here. I will just add that if you decided to buy coins to have a hold bitcoin, act now as it was not advisable to do bitcoin transaction while we are getting closer to August 1. Used exchanges (as no other way to purchase bitcoin in no hassle time) to buy bitcoin then transfer it outside web wallets. For why I say this to you, I suggest to do research about happenings on August 1 and honestly lots of related threads about that are already being made. Yes mate, I think the OP has still little or no knowledge on bitcoin so he might as well just go around the forum and do read some threads and not just throw some question that is quite frankly, hard to understand. We all know that all of us become newbie, but we learn as we go along the way. Better understand what you are entering, before making any bold move specially that Aug 1 is really worries a lot of us here. |

Jorge Dommar, a candidate to the Constitutional General Assembly in Venezuela, recently published a video in which he calls for cryptocurrency adoption, and claims that it will help the country, by facilitating access to global markets, and putting Venezuela in the forefront of a new global financial system. The candidate, who clearly stands for widespread cryptocurrency adoption in the country, has also campaigned for a system in which the people depend less on the government, and use cryptocurrencies for international trade. Jorge Dommar is the first politician to propose the use of this type of technology to cope with the restrictions the government has imposed. Constitutional Assembly elections are scheduled for July 30. Read more here. Venezuela is always on the news because despite the government not recognizing Bitcoin it is actually condoned by the authorities and I am hoping that Venezuela can be the first troubled country to accept Bitcoin. Expect more and more news to carry Bitcoin especially after the August 1 deadline. I hope he really understand how bitcoin or crypto in general works and not supporting it because bitcoin is generating a lot of buzz globally specially in Venezuela where citizens turn to bitcoin to buy goods outside of the country. If he is, then he gets my vote. Seriously, I hope that Venezuela can overcome the economic crisis they are facing and I also hope that bitcoin will be recognized there as a lot of bitcoin enthusiast in that country. |

the thing about bitcoin is that you can't speculate about the price based on charts and looking at the market,... it is all the messed up things that are going on all around bitcoin that affects the price. and right now everything depends on the August first and whether or not they split bitcoin.
i say if things go well, without any harm to bitcoin, price will rally; big time.
From my point of view, price of bitcoin will doubles the today's rate after August 1. Why, because, the price of bitcoin is keeps on increasing due to increase in bitcoin user. So, I am damn sure that, you can inverse your money on bitcoin now. It's the correct time to inverse your money on bitcoin. After August 1, you will get very huge return. Which you not even expert. For me, I see that the price will really soar after Aug 1 date. Although we are seeing the price is going down. This is expected. Because there are a lot of negativity around this date, others are now worrying about the split and all of that, but if you have faith in bitcoin. its really nice to buy bitcoin back at this low price because almost all of us still thinks that bitcoin will go to the moon. |

Although I don't engage my self in either gambling or dating site and i don't know whether in time to come maybe i will participate in one of them. But from testimony i have head from friends around me, gambling is more profitable for those who are into gambling when compared to a dating site.
Definitely, gambling site is more profitable as dating site targets more of a niche, while gambling a gambling site has no boundaries. I think that gambling site is more profitable than dating site as gambling is an addiction. People gets lured with high profit potential of gambling and tend to loose all their money which makes gambling site more profitable and popular.
How you say that. At least you can find one girl for you have real date with you but in gambling you cannot see nothing finally. Due to greediness you may loose some of your bitcoins or fiat but nothing will be in your hand at all. At least you can enjoy in dating, specially Thai girls  With girls, too, you can lose a lot of money) Especially with Thai girls. So I think that both options can be very popular. There will just be different visitors This is what I'm saying. For dating site is very profitable as well but you have to target your audience. Dating sites is more on older men looking for young hot girls. In gambling, even hot girls and older men would like to gamble.  |

I am earning and collecting bitcoin to bet on sports in future.Will it be a good choice to invest in it betting or other things.Where should i invest my bitcoin to have a long term profit?
Gambling has never been a good option for investment. Maybe just holding is better, unless you have so little btc that you can easily afford losing it. Then of course you can try your luck and maybe you will double or triple what you have now. But don't forget to stop in due time, otherwise you'll end up with zero. And it will be a option. Never. Holding is better or even trading. But if you choose to gamble specially if you are a newbie, chances are you are going to lose it. You may gain a profit at the beginning because of some luck, but at the end you will end up negative. So I advise newbie not to gamble. |

Law Enforcement Takes Down the Biggest Darknet Market on the Deep Web The Biggest Darknet Market on the Deep Web Has Been Shut Down By International AuthoritiesOn July 11 Bitcoin.com reported on the Alphabay darknet marketplace going offline for over a week. In that report, we detailed a theory of a global “deep web” law enforcement task force that seized computers in Quebec and made a connected arrest in Thailand. On July 13 according to the Wall Street Journal and sources familiar with the international authorities — Alphabay has been shut down. Founded in 2014 the marketplace Alphabay was a successor of the Silk Road and grew to be even bigger by 2017. Alphabay, like many darknet markets, was known for selling illicit narcotics and fraudulent credit cards. Wall Street Journal reporter Robert McMillan details the investigation was conducted by law enforcement agencies from a few countries including Thailand, the U.S., and Canada. https://news.bitcoin.com/law-enforcement-takes-down-darknet-market/ |

Something is not right with the mindset of OP beacuse such wiered statement come then only . It's good that you should be assertive but with the research done than its helps you to even know your goal easily . 50k per Btc is something unimaginable at this time and does not seem to even cross 20k in coming time .
I guess the OP is still very positive about bitcoin and he see down the road that bitcoin can reach $50K in the future. But realistically, its really hard to imagine bitcoin reach this price. I don't know what will be the factors that will affect market, but I doubt it can be touch. I think we need baby steps and target first $3000 then $10000 before saying that $50K is attainable. But hey, everything is possible and we might see this in 10 to 20 years. |

I am not too worried with this news as i am not into bitcoin to purchase things and i do consider it as an asset class but if i am having the capability to purchase things with it ,then it is great,i am happy about it,the price of one bitcoin is worth more than an ounce of gold does not mean that it can be considered only as an asset because we can divide one bitcoin into units,so it is not a big issue. I agree. Currently, bitcoin is not meant to do micro transaction because of couple of reasons. Namely high transaction fee and slow confirmation time and of course the volatility of price. That's why bitcoin is now used as investment instrument by most people. Bitcoin has still a long future ahead and maybe one day we gonna see that it will be universally accepted as payment method. |
