ViaBTC is a miner and I presume they NEED to have an exchange in order to dispose of the coins they mine.
Yes I think that's why they are opening up new trading platforms to have some buyers to atleast buy coins they will mine and also they want to keep their income stream open and running. China might not ban bitcoin mining and OTC trading, also they might add some licensing for new bitcoin trading platform which we might have by next year. What's the difference between having a website for selling bitcoins and selling bitcoins in an existing exchange (like Bittrex, Bitfinex) though? Besides ViaBTC being able to set their own prices of course. I guess so that they can receive their payment in FIAT? I'm not exactly sure since I really don't know how ViaBTC's exchange works. |

I personally think your video is fine. I was expecting a video something like "this is why you need to invest in genesis mining right now and use my referral link below etc etc", but at least your video was somewhat informative, taking into consideration the increase in mining difficulty so interested people won't be shocked by their decrease of daily/weekly payouts.
Even though I personally stay away from cloud mining and I think your video wasn't like super great, but it was decent. Well done.

A fork doesn't automatically mean a network split will occur.
Holding more NEO than BTC currently is a very bad idea in the first place, in my opinion. So much stuff happening in China, I wouldn't personally hold on to NEO for now, as I think it's too risky. I'd personally diversify to lessen the risks. I suggest following your guts though; if you heavily think that NEO will give you more gains in total, then go ahead. Just make sure to do extensive research to back up your ideas.

Bitmixer is one of the most preferred bitcoin mixer enjoyed by many people.
At bitmixer,you have to pay a minimum fee of 0.5% and additionally transaction fee on every transaction.
You get very cheaper mixing than other mixers.
Bitmixer.io closed down their service a few months ago.  I think ChipMixer is pretty much the most preferred mixer right now. *slightly biased*Bitmixer's post about them shutting down: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2042470Right now, chipmixer seems to be unreachable. Or is the link in your signature wrong? ooo. the link in my signature is definitely correct. They've been having DDoS problems recently unfortunately. Their Tor service wasn't unaffected though. Chipmixer's tor URL is http://chipmixerwzxtzbw.onion/ if you're interested. |

WSJ is basically full of shit. They say bitcoin's value is $0? LOL. People currently pay $3600 for a BTC, and that's simply because of the supply vs demand. Whereas the USD is the one that actually doesn't cost shit; it's just a piece of paper. People only use it because the government told them to and USD only has value because the government told us so. Whereas in bitcoin, the people or the markets to be specific is the one to decide on what it's value is.
WSJ in general is known to make articles that are out of context and articles that are obviously biased. I personally wouldn't trust their articles.
I don't know what you mean by transactions with BTC is "very limited" and "energy spending". Do you mind expounding your statements?

I'm afraid that's not enough information for us to conclude that Ulbricht is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto. Yes, Satoshi most probably is a skilled programmer and knowledgeable in the field of cryptography and economics, but is there proof that he is indeed American? Who knows also, Satoshi Nakamoto might be a group instead of one single entity.

So it seems the more the service is popular the faster it will fail
Err. You're probably right to some extent. Whatever that caused bitmixer to close(I forgot what caused them to close), might can also be the cause ChipMixer to close in the future if it was something involving the government or something. I hope not though. It would appear that chipmixer.io is currently offline/down...
ChipMixer.com is our main domain. We were under DDoS attack. Tor service was not affected. OFF: What is the requirements for Sr. Member? 240 activity. Link on ranks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0 |

I personally don't day trade for a living, as I'm more of a semi-long term trader, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I personally think that forex trading is similar to cryptocurrency trading. The only difference is that cryptocurrencies are far far more volatile compared to stocks and foreign currencies, as you may probably know just by looking at the price graphs of almost all cryptocurrencies. Yes ofcourse you can start with low capital with cryptocurrency trading. You just need to make the right trades at the right times and at the same time with the right amount.

I'll give Aantonop a go. I feel that this would go a long way in beating the morning news for educating myself.
Most of his videos are quite long, but In my opinion Andreas is one of the most smart and knowledgeable personalities in the bitcoin community. Sure it's going to take some time to watch a good number of his videos, but trust me when I say it's very worth it. Best of luck. |

Thanks for your quick replies! Wallets - I think I will place my nano order in  How does Myetherwallet rank in terms of security, I do hold my private keys right? Privacy - need to expand my research to cover and combine the other aspects to identify good options ICOs - Agreed, there way too many ICOs taking place now, impossible to research and cover all. I will go deep into the ICO/altcoins threads to educate myself and will try to focus on few ICOs which tick the boxes in terms of team, roadmap etc. Thanks! Myetherwallet is fine if you know what you're doing, and yes you hold your private keys. But ofcourse you're always better off with a hardware wallet like trezor/ledger nano. Just a heads up on looking for ICOs: don't jump in and invest a huge amount on ICOs just because alot of people are getting in on it. I'm almost 100% sure a good number of ICO investors don't read shit about a project, they just go with the hype. If you're in some facebook cryptocurrency groups you would get what I mean. Goodluck! |

"China has brought nothing but problems and great shame to Bitcoin." You specifically meant the Chinese government right? Let's not forget that Bitcoin, Monero and other cryptocurrencies had a significant rise on price just because the Chinese people were buying. It just shows that a good number of Chinese people are interested in blockchain technology as well. Attacking and wanting to get rid of China, the country itself is quite selfish in my opinion. Me and most people just want the whole chinese FUD to end. Just release an official statement already and get it over with, for the good or the bad. Bitcoin and crypto will survive.
If only a lot of people do their own research first and confirm what they're reading and not just automatically panic when they read some negative news about China. |

You can use the Waves Platform or ERC20 tokens via Ethereum. Do some research on it as I personally haven't tried creating my own cryptocurrency/token. https://wavesplatform.com/https://ethereum.org/tokenBut wait. You said that you're just a beginner.. but you're already planning on creating your own cryptocurrency? Are you serious? |

- China ban on bitcoin coming 30 September. China isn't banning bitcoin. China is banning exchanges on the 30th. Get your facts straight. China banning bitcoin is currently only a rumor - Antshares commissioned by Chinese government : where's your source? Ask yourself: What will this ban do to the price of bitcoin and what will trade to and from China use when the Chinese government has it's OWN currency. Don't be fooled by the name change of Antshares, because that is NOT a coincidence.
So you're saying that Antshares re-branded to NEO because it will become China's cryptocurrency? If so, what does a re-branding achieve here? And again, where's your source? |

Forks aren't necessarily bad. Sometimes forks are necessary for bitcoin to move forward. The news about a possibly fork on November isn't new.
Division between communities is to be expected in a decentralized platform. Like it or not. People will always have their own opinions and ideas on how to move a certain project forward.
Also, I don't think Roger Ver has that much anything to do with the November fork, as he has already has a version of bitcoin that he prefers. And also, Roger Ver definitely has no authority to make decisions on behalf of the bitcoin community. He already has his own project, BitcoinCash.

Dude what are you talking about lul. Like what dothebeats said, bitcoin IS a peer to peer electronic cash system. [
Is it really peer to peer if it has to go through an intermediary, the miner, for the transaction to be processed? I'm playing devil's advocate as much as I am looking to learn. What's the true definition of peer to peer - no business entity involvement or a truly 1:1 transaction where there is no "middle man" at all? Thanks Alright. This is what I personally think. For the readers, feel free to correct me as well as I could be wrong. Basically in P2P each party has the same capabilities or privileges. I wouldn't call a miner/miners an "intermediary" as they generally don't get to have hold over your coins. They're just there to confirm if a certain transaction is actually legitimate or to basically provide more security in general. But yea what matters the most really is that there is no one single entity that has control over the blockchain. |

Will direct peer-to -peer bitcoin transactions (by pass an exchange ) be possible in future?
If that were possible what would happen to the validation and confirmation of the network? It seems like this suggestion would have less security and this is not what we want to do. Also if you did not go through a ledger but just went purely peer to peer, what stops somebody from creating their own "bitcoin"? It seems like a slippery slope for some convenience Dude what are you talking about lul. Like what dothebeats said, bitcoin IS a peer to peer electronic cash system. "It seems like this suggestion would have less security and this is not what we want " this is definitely what we wanted. one of the selling points of bitcoin is that it doesn't need any mediator whatsoever. Hence "peer to peer". Not because bitcoin is peer to peer it doesn't mean that it can't have validation and confirmations from the network. Not sure if you misunderstood OP's question or you didn't understand correctly what bitcoin is.  |
