The price today is not as volatile as it was before IMHO. Although the price of bitcoin
right now is rising due to the anticipation of ETF, whether is going to be approve
or not, the price will be stable up to the end of the year. Now if is going to moon
as you mentioned,  you don't want to go there, why? because once the price peak as
is highest, it will surely fall very quickly and suddenly. So just a steady claim will
be nice for us, just enjoy the ride for those crypto enthusiast.

I have to checked Nikola Jokic's record and saw that this is his third triple-double of the season.
And looks like this is his breakout year. As for the Chicago Bulls, yes they are very inconsistent
this season, Jimmy Butler's just had eight points on 3-for-13 shooting. I thought the Bulls gonna
win this one because they are leading in the half-time and early in the 3rd before Denver
take's over in the 4th quarter. Bulls next game: - they will host Golden State.

Here is the thread for Alt-coins announcements:

Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Announcements (Altcoins)
You can also see the guides, FAQ in that thread.


Just go browse that thread and you will see how they make announcements professionally
and don't do the same mistakes they make. I saw one there who haven't compiled the source
code for their wallet so a lot has of members complained. 

La La Land was my bet for the Oscars this year. However, I didn't got the chance to
actually put a bet on it. I also don't know what what could have been my reaction
for hearing La La Land the winner then later on it was called a mistake because the
envelope was wrong (ala Miss Universe). I think PWC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) the
auditor firm which handles this years Oscars winners (tabulating, and preparing the
envelopes) already apologizes for the mistake but I guess the damage has been
done already.

A German man has been beheaded by Abu Sayyaf militants in the southern Philippines after a deadline to pay his ransom passed.

Philippine and German officials confirmed that 70-year-old Jurgen Kantner had been killed after being held for three months by the Islamist militant group.
It was the second time Kantner, 70, had been abducted. He was held along with his partner, Sabine Merz, by Somali pirates for nearly two months in 2008.

We all know for a fact, that most African country has low income and doesn't
earn as much as those in Europe and US. So Ihink Africans believe that bitcoin
could improve their economic standing if they have bitcoin in the wallet to buy
or trade or just simple change them to their local fiat. Or likely there are a
lot of bitcoin advocates in Africa now so bitcoin is increasingly becoming maintream
there. I hope Africa can take advantage of bitcoin and become mass adopted in
the continent.

Now up to the ETF decision is the time to trade specially bitcoin as the price is always
at its all time high. Also the alt-coins is doing good as well, ETH, ZCash etc.. so it is
also worth to trade those. And I always hear "Buy low, hold, sell high." So I think you
know what it means, you can start with small investment and make it grow. Make
it long or short term investment its up to you. Goodluck..

I think the Saudi's has somewhat ballooned their valuation, to somewhat help them
in Aramco's IPO. We don't know how they made such huge valuation, or what factors
or multiplier they used to get that value. Do they take in consideration the millions or
billions of reserves under the oil fields and multiple it by how many dollars?

But one thing for sure why the Saudi government is offering a public IPO of Aramco,
I think they have known already that the used of crude oil is already peaking, and
most of the motor company today want to use hydrogen to all new models of
car replacing  the traditional oil engine models.

Bitcoin price looks poised to break down from its consolidation pattern as volatility is returning to the markets.

I think $521 is so low for the bitcoin price if ever ETF is not approved. I will still speculate
that the price will drop on the $900's range and no lower that that. And I think it will
appreciate as normal and probably reach the same price as now or more slowly in the coming
months if not approve by SEC. So we better get ready for March 11 because for sure this
will be another major milestone in bitcoin history.

What Corporates Really Think Of Cryptocurrencies

Blockchain may have more potential to disrupt corporate finance than actual bitcoin does, but that doesn’t mean cryptocurrencies are entirely ignored by the enterprise space. PYMNTS takes a look at how the corporate world interacts with cryptocurrencies — and we’re not just talking about bitcoin — from how businesses pay cyber ransoms to the role bitcoin plays in promoting T&E innovation.

Looks like you got it all set-up. However, I suggest you do a soft release. You can ask a reputable
SR or above member or specially those experienced members here that gamble on on-line gambling
sites so that they can test your new on-line game.


I don't think that the market is saturated at the moment. So putting a online gambling site
is still profitable. I just have a few questions.
How much bankroll are you going to put initially?
How much of your marketing budget are you allocating to online marketing?.
The reason I'm asking this is because I considered those 2 as important factors to
succeed in the business you are getting in.


Goodluck to your project and wish you well.

A blockchain is a collection of data of events and transactions or a ledger that
can be shared with with many parties across the network. To simply put it is
like a database. It is called a blockchain because transactions organized into
blocks chained together and updated.

Of course since bitcoin has used blockchain technology as its foundation, a lot
of industries are taking notice of it and are being experimented at various institution
globally.

Someone already posted a link to all other industries who are trying to implement it.
Just go visit that links.

 

I have a good read about the current state of media in America right now. I just want to
share with you guys and feel free to comment. Here's a quote that strike me the most.

"We Don't have an investigative media in America.
Our reporters, don't go after the facts.
They're not reporters, they're repeaters."

Greg Palast - Investigative Reporter,Author

The author also mentioned many websites of independent new sources that is also available
in the internet.

Nice miniguide. Just a few comments I would like to  say:

"Plan a backup and recover strategy of your private keys and addresses. Keep them printed under your mattress. Remember you can build paper wallets and use hardware wallets as valid alternative to software"

You only mentioned how to backup and recover, but I only saw strategy for back-up,
I didn't read any for recovering it. I suggest you can add it in the articel as well.
Just my 2¢.

Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis for 02/27/2017 – Signs of Rally Exhaustion?

Bitcoin Price Key Highlights

Bitcoin price is still moving inside its uptrend channel visible on longer-term time frames.
Price is currently testing the resistance near the $1200 mark as expected but is showing signs that buying pressure is fading.
A reversal candlestick can be seen on the daily time frame but price has yet to close below the low at $1100 to confirm the potential selloff.

Bitcoin price has been able to keep up its climb but it might need to make a correction before heading any further north.

Its kinda weird someone sending you a free 100 dollars, but I guess its not your fault.
You are one lucky guy, why are you feeling bad for that money? just considered it
a gift from someone  . I guess this will be a "good" learning experience from him
to double check every transaction he will do in the future.

There was one guy/gal in the community said that he got 40 bitcoin and she/he took
it but I dunno if is real or not.

Hmm... I think President Trump supporters still love him eventhough he has a lot
of controversies is because they feel like he is a fresh of fresh air to the Americans.
Some of his supporters might say that he is just misunderstood or his comment
is taken out of context. Or maybe they think that he is doing the right way for the
American people specially those who voted him.
But for whatever reasons they love or voted him, I think they gonna regret getting
him to the Presidency.

There is a signature campaign that accepts newbie.Which is the "Lets think about the future

Note: Although there are signature campaigns that accepts newbie, it is much better if
you could get a higher rank to get better pay. You must not also spam, you need  to add
