LOL. The last thing I would do when stressed is to stare at some sort of looped video with piano music. Nice try though!
14502  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 1 year change on: July 12, 2018, 04:23:13 PM
People must stop talking about the death of bitcoin because a currency like bitcoin must not be judged with a change of a day or a month but with a change of a year who agree about that?

In general, bitcoin shouldn't be judged with it's price. As long as development continues, it doesn't matter what the price would be. It could be as low as $100 but if there are miners and people running full nodes, then it ain't dead.
14503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm just thinking about to give away to my 4-year-old nephew a 0.01 BTC on: July 12, 2018, 04:07:58 PM
I've read a lot of posts like this about people doing similar things in the past. It's definitely a thoughtful gift for your young nephew, especially if he gets fond of blockchain or technology in general  in the future. Go for it! Just remember to have protection for the paper. Probably laminating it yourself would be good enough for a little bit of water-proofness.

And also, make sure you know how to make a paper wallet securely. You definitely wouldn't want your 18 year old nephew in the future scanning the QR Code and realizing that the BTC was moved out a decade ago, by someone that's not you.

Just to let you know. You can view almost every subforums here on bitcointalk without creating an account; unless you're planning on asking questions(good ones, hopefully) or discussing with us.

Also, don't base your knowledge entirely from info on bitcointalk. While this is a good forum, I'd suggest also looking at different sources.

This should be a good starting point for you: https://www.coindesk.com/information/

Best of luck.

Well, bitcoin was priced significantly higher last January than right now, so obviously you're probably going to make less money(in dollars) right now as the price is significantly, not taking in to consideration the mining difficulty.

Take note that the mining difficulty increases as time goes by. So with the same hardware, chances are you're going to receive less BTC.

I do not understand what you mean by bitcoin as atm. How can

Basically an ATM whereas you can buy or sell bitcoin. You insert the fiat money, they the machine sends you BTC to your wallet; and vice versa.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_ATM

Bitcoin ATMs are not possible in entire world. So we should not consider this machine. But few top countries and cities are earn benefit for this possibilities and the list of countries are mention this thread it is really good sign in Bitcoin future.
So this will reach all over the world everyone celebrate that moment.
So you're saying that we shouldn't use it because it's not possible to plant bitcoin ATMs everywhere? lol?

Let me help you with great friendly advice. If the main reason you're here on bitcointalk or interested in the cryptocurrency ecosystem in general is for you to make money, then you might as well leave now and get a job instead or learn another monetization skill instead. You're welcome.
14508  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Who are the most influential crypto influencers? on: July 12, 2018, 05:09:22 AM
Definitely the best influencer would be the one and only Andreas Antonopoulos. Check out his YouTube channel[1]. Link below.

Though if the main reason you're looking for influencers is for you to decide on what ICOs to invest on based on your opinion, then that's definitely a bad idea. Want to invest in ICOs? Do your own research and then decide for yourself.

Heh, Bitcoin debit cards used to go (*) to at least 2-3% conversion fee and 2-3% more to get to national currency. And those are not anonymous.
ATMs are considered anonymous and they have bigger operational costs too. So your 5% expectations are not realistic. (Of course, that doesn't mean that those fees are not way too big.)

Not necessarily. ATMs have a certain limit and some of them will ask you for passport (there is a camera in the ATM). There is of course a workaround, which is using another phone number.
This defeats the purpose in my opinion. The only reason I would personally actually buy or sell bitcoin with 9%-10% fees is for anonymity reasons(as it's almost impossible to find a local buyer/seller in my country). Requiring a passport on an ATM is probably overkill.
14511  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you ever think that bitcoin has an own card?? on: July 11, 2018, 03:14:00 PM
It depends on the government rules and regulation. If any particular countries are accept bitcoin then those countries bitcoin investor can use this card if bitcoin wants to make this card. But a nowadays bitcoin wallet is a popular way to use bitcoin.

So are you implying that we should ask the bitcoin CEO? 🤔🤔

Thank you for share this BB code.
I am not sure where we need to add this?

You use those codes when making a topic or making a reply.

e.g. when you type in:
Code:
[color=blueviolet]test word[/color]

Result:
test word

EDIT: woops. Should have checked the link you provided first. 9.15% average fee. I'm definitely not using those. I'd only go for as high as 5% for convenience sake. Welp, publicity is publicity I guess.

(*) I wrote "used to go" since lately (after the Wavecrest issue) there are not too many card providers, they just started coming back and most don't have updated fees either, so it's hard to tell the current numbers.

Bitcoin debit cards provide a different service though. You use bitcoin debit cards to be able to shop in person and online without the use of cash. Unfortunately BTC payments are simply just not that widespread in most countries currently(especially 3rd world countries).

On bitcoin ATMs, you could use other services(LocalBitcoins, other exchanges) as an alternative to save money from the fees in sacrifice of the convenience. I agree though that 5% on bitcoin ATMs are quite unrealistic unfortunately. I'm just implying that I personally am not willing to pay more than 5% for purchasing bitcoin.
14514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATMs Worldwide on: July 11, 2018, 10:11:26 AM
I know bitcoin ATMs probably has higher price cuts compared to buying off an exchange, but how bad are the fees actually? Haven't personally seen a bitcoin ATM personally.


CoinATMRadar (the site you mentioned) have all the statistics you need. It's currently 3450 ATMs. I'm pretty sure there are more but this is as accurate as you can get.

If you we see the charts, you can notice that the ATMs business is growing and more are being implemented each year so It's definitely exciting.

What's wrong with shapeshift? It doesn't need any registration whatsoever so pretty much the only thing you're disclosing is your IP address and wallet addresses. Alternatively, you can use Binance.com as it doesn't require KYC; though they require your personal information on registration.

What "trading apps" are you talking about specifically? You mean exchange apps like Binance's[1] and Bitfinex's[2] app?

Yes, I sorry if I have mistaken thanks for the link. I've tried to learn how to trade and I just want to know what are the best app should I probably used.

Well yea, I've listed 2 of the apps of some of the most reputable exchanges as of now. I'd personally suggest using a computer instead for trading though. It's definitely not impossible to trade on mobile, but you can do multi-tasking a lot easier on a computer.

What is going to see crytp advertise on Facebook again in the future?
That question doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

While the company banned all crypto ads back in January, it has since quietly set up an application form for certain types of crypto ads to get posted in June. https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-appoints-new-blockchain-engineering-director/
They definitely didn't "quietly set up" an application form. The news was everywhere, as well as the news that they're having their own blockchain team.

Another question: what if I sent my Lumens to My Ether Wallet, where would the coin go? (FYI I did not do this, just wondering)

 Cheesy

It's either the coins will not be sent, or if it does send, then you pretty much threw away your coins as you sent it to an address that you have no access to.
