With the adoption of bitcoin, it will become a major currency is 20-30 years or even earlier with the exponential growth.

I think it will be THE reserve currency. All currency will be valued based on bitcoin.

wow it's a very good opinion i like it
so basically all currency will be valued on Bitcoin ? and bitcoin will be 1st currency at the world

1347  Bitcoin / Press / [2015-11-03] The Mt. Gox Bitcoin Debacle: An Update on: November 03, 2015, 04:21:08 PM


More than 18 months after the MtGox bitcoin exchange filed for bankruptcy in February 2014, little is still known about what happened to the 850,000 missing bitcoins. The now defunct Tokyo-based company claimed hacker malleability attacks—illicit alterations of transaction ID numbers—were responsible for the disappearance. MtGox users who traded the virtually currency for fiat money suspected fraud.  Whatever the reasons, the fallout appears to have been a financial calamity for Bitcoin investors: the value of a bitcoin dropping from a peak of over $1,000 prior to the exchange’s collapse to around $232 today.

Although investigators remain tight lipped about their findings, Tokyo Metropolitan police took Mark Karpeles, the CEO of MtGox, into custody in August on charges of manipulating company accounts and stealing from exchange users. Then on 11 September prosecutors issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of embezzling US $2.7 million of clients’ money. Karpeles, 30, a French national, has reportedly denied wrongdoing.

Yet these charges represent only a tiny fraction of the 850,000 bitcoins worth around $200 million at today’s exchange rate, or about half-a-billion dollars at the time of the MtGox collapse. So the wait to hear what really occurred continues.

“It is only natural for law enforcement, trustee and the forensics team not to give reports when there is an ongoing criminal investigation,” says Pauline Reich, director of Asia-Pacific Cyberlaw, Cybercrime and Internet Security Research Institute in Tokyo. “It will take time. Patience is needed.”

Investors had hopes raised for a quicker explanation when Kraken Bitcoin Exchange, a leading San Francisco-based exchange, was selected last November by the trustee to help the investigation and aid in the distribution of MtGox’s remaining assets to creditors. So far, though, Kraken has remained silent and refused to comment for this story.

One entity not happy to wait for answers is WizSec, a bitcoin security firm established last year in Tokyo by three former MtGox bitcoin investors. The company began conducting its own independent investigation in spring 2014 based on leaked MtGox transaction data published online by hackers, non-public leaked sources, interviews with former MtGox staff and others connected with the company.

Kim Nilsson, head of WizSec, spoke to the foreign press in Tokyo on 14 September and shed some light on the difficulties the authorities are facing, though he pointed out that because a substantial portion of his sources are unverifiable leaked data, he could not claim it to be one hundred percent reliable. However he believes it likely gives a good indication of the state of MtGox customer accounts at the time.

“MtGox had very bad accounting to the point where it might have been non-existent,” said Nilsson. “This has left the case full of holes, which the police will have to extrapolate to fill.”

A major problem, he said, was that clients’ bank accounts and company accounts had been comingled, at least early on after the company’s launch in 2010. “So company funds and clients’ deposits were stored in a single account and used for company expenses.”

WizSec has published two reports on its findings, the latest this February. According to the report’s executive summary:

 Most or all of the missing bitcoins were stolen straight out of the MtGox hot wallet over time, beginning in late 2011. As a result, MtGox was technically insolvent for years (knowingly or not) and was practically depleted of bitcoins by 2013.
Christian Decker of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, and co-author of Bitcoin Transaction Malleability and MtGox study [pdf] with colleague Roger Wattenhofer disagrees.

“While it’s possible that at the change of ownership [when Karpeles purchased the exchange around March 2011], MtGox was not completely covering its liabilities, it is very unlikely that it was missing a major part of its funds,” Decker told Spectrum. “This is backed by the fact that some of the bitcoins sold on the platform did not enter the Bitcoin economy until later, i.e., they had not been mined then and couldn’t have been stolen then.”

The malleability study also discounts MtGox’s claim that malleability attacks were responsible for the loss of 850,000 bitcoins. The study concludes “…barely 386 bitcoins could have been stolen using malleability attacks from MtGox or from other businesses.”

But there are areas where the experts are in full agreement. “The main problem with MtGox was not with the bitcoin technology, but with how the company was run,” said Nilsson. “It doesn’t matter if you use the strongest bank vault in the world if you leave the keys out.”

Reich concurs. “This is about the bookkeeping at MtGox and not about the technology.”

“The alleged theft is due likely to insecure handling of funds by MtGox in their internal systems,” says Decker. “This would have been the case even if their allegations that transaction malleability was to blame, since they were using faulty network nodes internally.”

As for future expectations, “I believe the technology that powers bitcoin is strong and solid and will definitely make it into the financial industry before the (bitcoin) currency itself does,” said Nilsson. And Decker notes that while Bitcoin technology is still new and experiencing growing pains, “Academia and the industry are continuously working on improving the security of systems built on top of it.”

1348  Bitcoin / Press / [2015-11-03] Could Bitcoin Become Major Reserve Currency? on: November 03, 2015, 04:17:40 PM
The value of digital currency Bitcoin has soared 70% - and analysts think it could become one of the world's major reserve currencies within 15 years.
The cryptocurrency has made big gains over the past two months, since it hit a low of $213 (£138) in August.
But as it's currently trading at $370 (£240), it's nowhere near its early-2014 peak of $1,100 (£715).
Some have speculated that Bitcoin interest from MasterCard and Bain Capital Ventures has legitimised the currency, which is the payment method of choice on the dark web.
Others say it could be down to people using it to bypass capital controls in Greece and China.
According to Bitcoinity.org, most trading in the past month has come from Chinese Bitcoin exchanges.
The European Court recently ruled it is a currency and exempt from VAT.
New (KOSDAQ: 160550.KQ - news) research suggests it could become the world's sixth-largest reserve currency by 2030, with $1bn (£650m) being invested by big financial institutions in the next two years.
The report comes from a company called Magister Advisors, which advises the technology industry on mergers and acquisitions.
Partner Jeremy Millar said blockchain, the technology that powers Bitcoin, has revolutionised finance.
He said: "Blockchain is without question the most significant advancement in enterprise IT (Other OTC: ITGL - news) in a decade, on a par with big data and machine learning.
"Bitcoin has proven itself as an established currency.
"Blockchain, more fundamentally, will become the default global standard distributed ledger for financial transactions (Other OTC: UBGXF - news) ."

1350  Bitcoin / Press / [2015-11-03] Bitcoin Price Explodes Higher - Gold and Silver Next? on: November 03, 2015, 04:10:52 PM


We spent much of the summer telling people to get into bitcoin for a number of reasons I’ll go over below… and I’ll expand on where I think it, gold & silver and the markets are going next and how they are all interrelated.

To begin, though, bitcoin has skyrocketed higher, up $55 today alone to $370 and up $132 in the last month.


Bitcoin up 55 percent in 1 month - The Dollar Vigilante

Bitcoin is up 55% in just the last month and is the best performing asset class in the world during that time.

And we called it.

Did your financial advisor tell you to get into bitcoin?  How about your older financial newsletter writer who is not even quite sure how email works yet?  Or how about some Austrian economists (not all by any means) who are focused on gold and silver to the exclusion of all else. These individuals have forgotten what Murray Rothbard said: Anything can be “money” if people accept it.

And bitcoin is surely becoming money. People are willing to pay a lot for just one. Please internalize this. Things are changing fast and you need to change along with them. What is going on in bitcoin is just a part of the bigger picture.  Here’s why.

BITCOIN IS THE CANARY IN THE COAL MINE

Over the years I’ve pointed out that when events, such as the Cyprus bank “bail-ins” occurred, how gold and silver should have risen dramatically… but didn’t.  While during the same time period bitcoin tripled in price.  And the reason I said that happened was because bitcoin is nowhere near of a controlled and manipulated market as gold and silver.

In that way, I see bitcoin as a canary in the coal mine.  It had leveled off and stayed near $230-$250 nearly all year, which prompted me to give the “all clear” on it this summer for new investment and now it is literally skyrocketing.

I think this very well could be a presage to a major market event.  By nearly every metric the markets are massively strained.  The US markets had an excellent dead cat bounce since the crash in August but it could well be a  set-up for a second, larger “event.”

By the end of this year,or even sooner, gold and silver could have have followed bitcoins’ lead higher – while fiat-based currency continue to degrade.

MONETARY, FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHAOS AHEAD

Bitcoin is just one of many indicators that markets may yet again be close to the top and ready to correct – good and hard..

If you still haven’t gotten into or figured out bitcoin, we recommend again taking a look at this complete course at DollarVigilante.com/bitcoin to get up-to-speed as soon as possible on bitcoin.  Hundreds of TDV readers and subscribers did over the summer and many are already very happy they did.

The gold and silver mining stocks are also showing life for the first time in years.  Just recently, a junior miner recommended  by TDV Senior Analyst, Ed Bugos, nearly doubled in less than two weeks from the end of September until the first week of October.  It has pulled back since then but if gold & silver have breakouts this month we can expect additional significant gains  (1,000%+ is not at all out of the question – subscribe to TDV Premium for specific recommendations from Ed Bugos).  And we just told subscribers in our October Issue of TDV how they can get a bitcoin ATM and debit card to be able to use bitcoin to purchase anything you can buy with a credit card or turn it into fiat cash in an instant anywhere in the world.

Get informed and positioned now for what I expect to be a wild ride for the rest of the year and 2016 to be a bloodbath for those not positioned correctly.

Guys, what is your prediction about future
Now 1BTC=350$ relative to month day earlier when 1BTC worth 237$.
for example: i am fund 1BTC 1st october on faucet, after month i have 400$ earning on adsense. in the beginning this math seems good, but today if I'm not doing anything I would have the same value
i expect more faucet users and lowerest rewards. Best options have freebitco.in where is claim prize depends on the attitude towards from dollars

this is about "long term" if you can earning $400/mponth from adsens
i think better you invest and learn more about bitcoin faucet than you invest at bitcoin price , because adsense revenue is pasif and bitcoin price can down everytime

Anybody looking at the BTC price today? It's insane... https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/bitcoin/usd

Speed of growing Bitcoin is a function of the risk of losing your Bitcoin.
Scrap trading small gain is one safe way to minimize lose and get some gain

it's a good tactic dude Smiley
i like it , im trader too, i think take a small profit
multiply the number of trades also good tactics


you can take 1% profit and repeat it 10times  so you can get 10% Smiley
