They are lost at the moment like if you forget the seed of your wallet or password of the drive there are still chances that they can be recovered and brought back to circulation but we should assume the only lost one's which have been burnt through OP_Return command as they are invalid now.So there are approximately 4 million coins which can be back into circulation if the owner found or remember their password/seeds of wallets.

But yes if people are careless in backing up their funds with security then supply will initially reduce as there will be very few mined and it will take another century to mine the remaining 2 million coins approximately.But as said by the man who made it possible:

If you are making some pizzas then i would suggest you to submit your entry here although not have checked if you have already done so but if not then do it by today only as last day and have some prizes if your pizzas are well topped and liked by others and have some fun also.


The tattooed bitcoiners and renowned one of the WO thread proving they are bro's in actual life also.The liverpool played well but in the end it's game but you must have enjoyed your time there

In most common way we should avoid using VPN as it has some issues and if casino finds out suspicious events from our account and they come to know we are playing from restricted area then it's direct violation of the rules and as per terms the account can be freezed so players must abide by the rule but we all know how much it's used to bypass restrictions.

Even if you are having lot of money and you continuously loose it without any proper management in gambling then it's dead end and you will loose it all which is worse.The high rollers have huge bankroll to support their loss but they win sometimes and also play in fun manner but yes small gamblers should play according to their limits and have set budget which restricts them going above it to avoid becoming gambling addict.

Only here and this time rest can't compete with you man .Saw an opportunity to save this 11k merit achievement of your's here so immediately grab it as was aware that you won't miss it and moreover there are members like our flash @Ratimov who save these records much faster than me but was lucky this time.

So double congratulations on this as you are now second one to have 10k earned merit tag on the forum after our bitcoin geek @o_e_l_e_o who is cycling fast to have big quads.Now you also on the same track so wish you all best.

They value and appreciate your post as they are helpful for the community and you deserve it.

Most of the people here use he whenever they have to say something about Satoshi and there are some assumptions according to his writing and the known one's which tells about his indentity.

We sometimes use they,them which is also fine as showing respect and gratitude towards single person or group of persons but i would say that we can use any term we feel suitable as the mystery stills remain undisclosed.But i feel we should be more focusing on other aspects of bitcoin development and future plans rather than solving the mystery to unreveal his indentity.

This is internet World and we don't know gender of the person we are interacting here so do we care? We usually address them with name only and use he/she as per we feel about him/her so this is all delusion and we should leave it.

We all are Satoshi's and and bitcoiners who have faith in it and he/she doesn't matter here in the end.

As you have been already told that in the initial days of launch the bitcoin prices were merely zero as there was no exchange to list it and people willing to buy it.As simple rule of economics the prices are derived by demand and supply but there was supply only through mining but no demand so no market cap was available for it.But first rates were published by New Library standard on 5^th October 2009 and they were site offering buy/sell bitcoin service through PayPal.These were the rates back then according to them :




So as per this formula and established price the bitcoin was at $1= 1309BTC

To what i think is that there are some games restrictions to the Canadian players who want to play on Roobet but not sure about this and have to check but still you can bypass it through VPN usage but make so sure you do it properly but if limited play games that are available to you and find some fun in them only.

Yes they are getting return also in form of some wins and daily rewards from Rollbit side and besides that there are other rewards also.The whales have huge money support and they didn't care how they bet or loose and the only thing they want is fun and yes they want to be famous.There are many players who bet with so many bitcoins in single bet so for us it's too much but those who have stacked them early at relatively low price don't hesitate in spending them also and taking risk.

But if you say about casino they will be in profits only and this is what keeps them surviving in the market as all bets are not win and not are loss so they gain and loose but out of players only.

It's good that you also want to translate the topic in your local language and help the members gain additional information through our bitcoin geek's thread and he will surely tell you about the same.

But frankly saying the topic you have mentioned about resources to learn about bitcoin is one of my favourites topic by @fillippone as it covers most of the basic things a newbie needs to get himself acquainted with bitcoin and that also through legit soruces.I have mentioned this in many threads to newbie who ask for guidance related to bitcoin.I am also motivated with his thread and working on one of the similar thread and will post whenever it's done.So best of luck and hope you translate it good if you get chance.

The forum has witnessed another milestone in merit club and this time our Golden Feather @LoyceV has achieved this milestone of reaching 11k merit mark today on the forum.Here is the Screenshot for the same :



He was left with only two merits when i checked his profile and grabbed this opportunity to make my little contribution in his big achievement.The cycling club is doing great in the forum and they are creating new records each day.So congratulations to him on achieving this mark and setting up another race for the contenders

Although i could edit the previous post but this is something big so a separate post needs to be there for this special record on this thread and would request @OP to make changes and post it in the front page.

Whenever you feel set to come back and bet again you can do so as there is no timely restrictions on this and we are gambling as fun way and hope to win some amount meanwhile.But you take your time and maybe there are some amazing betting events when you come back that can set off your $200 loss also.

Who said high rollers are losing in the end? This is gambling and when we bet we only hope to win and the outcome is not guaranteed win so you are at risk of losing the funds in first phase but if you are lucky you will win and have profits.High rollers are giving out huge profits to them as you see the Rollbit boss has wagered over $1billion which is insane amount and imagine how much the casino would have benefited from him? So as a whole they are making profits from all and giving out to all which matters in the end.

Blockchain is a public ledger where all the transactions are recorded and on an average every ten minutes a new bitcoin block is mined which is then verified by the miners and the miners who has mined this block is rewarded with 6.25BTC which are halfed at each having.No new blockchain is created in this process so you are wrong on this part.The decentralisation comes as no single miner have the full control of network and each transaction is verified and then included in the block with thousands of nodes across the network.

With mining difficulty being increased and mining pools implementing heavy GPU in mining process it's nearly impossible for solo miners to mine bitcoin block but there are some  rare chances

But you can join mining pool and use your hash power mining jointly with them and if you succeed you will get rewards according to it.

There are many such articles and do you think they are solely right about it? They are published by the government media to defame the image of bitcoin and this electricity consumption has always been issue to them whereas the other banking sector consume way more energy then bitcoin but they only have problems with it.Moreover if you check miners are also using green energy and it's shifting to renewable energy sources but they will not show you truth and you have to check it for yourself.


Could you please tell the source where you have find about this radiation concept related to bitcoin mining as there is no chemical experiment going in the factory so don't know where you have read about this.

And as suggested the more you research about bitcoin the more you will learn about it and having newbie view on anything is not good until you have deep research about it and if you want more information about mining then visit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0

Hope you understand it....

People have engraved these seeds phrases on metal plates and there is extensive research about which steel plates to be used and how to properly backup your funds here on the forum because it's the only way you can retrieve your funds and if you can't then they are lost because brute forcing and other recovery options are not guaranteed in this case.Moreover there is one image with some words missing and we don't know even it's seed phrase or not.So @OP needs is on his own or trying the steps mentioned above.

If they can forget about bitcoin they have bought back then they must also not be familiar with the security steps to be taken and it's one of them.I am not expert in making blur or unclear images visible to read the text but still have done something with AI tools and there are many who can extract the words out of it which is security threat to @OP.People need to take care of funds and have proper backup of seeds at multiple places but they have only one copy and that also with missing words we assume to be seed.

For sure he has helped many deserving members to reach their next rank and is still doing his job best but it will still take lot of time for him to reach that 10k club but he will surely reach there sooner or later and wish him all the best for it.

So I am back with another merit record to share here and it's for the Discovery of the year @n0nce who has been passenger of bullet merit train and was able to screenshot one more cool record for him this time also :



Getting his timely record is hard as he only stops for few minutes on each merit station and he is now having 2323 merits with him and perfect for saving it here on his behalf.Congratulations to him and hope to see more records from him and soon he will be member of 3k merit club.Excuse me for repeating merit word so many times 

Yeah he was first one to wager $1 billion on Rollbit only as was whale and to my thought he was @MalteseFalcon as his username was visible for some time and Rollbit also mentioned about it once on one tweet congratulating him.On second was @Ayezee who was sponsored but still was half what he was wagering so he was having lot of profits from Rollbit along with daily rewards.But now there's no more such prizes and maybe he will wager or not can't say.

There are certain times in gambling when we are not in lucky bracket and each bet we placed have the same output of our loss and there are two conditions linked to it :

1) You start betting aggressively in hope to win some amounts but that could lead to more loss like your $200 could turn to $400 loss also or you could win some amounts with this but most of the time it's not favourable to go with this approach.

2) As you have mentioned and decided to go through like taking some break from betting and relaxing your mind to come up with fresh mind that will not make you addicted to it and some sadness is also gone and we must do this on frequent intervals when there are more wins or loss also to take some break with it and enjoy outside.

Hope you come back fine and have some good wins on Pragmatic play or any other slot of your wish on Bitcasino.

He was early miner and he made the first commercial transaction and that also with 10,000 bitcoins at that time for just two large pizzas which is worth millions now but he has no regrets with it if we check his previous interviews and he is living the same life programmer life but he is more famous now with the pizza guy.

There is some sort of sadness if we see that way because he would have been billionaire by now if he holds onto his mining reward but we have to use it as payment mode also so it's also not bad if he has done it so.He has ordered several pizzas afterwards also as he was mining bitcoin at that time :


But still we are celebrating this day till date in honour of this day and realising the fact how far we have come.

Really good efforts on your part as it takes lot of time and research in compiling these sorts of data in tabular format also.So +2 smerits for your efforts and you have mentioned all the good quotes that inspired you to increase your knowledge and work upon yourself to be better person on the forum.These quotes mostly have the answers to most of the regular doubts asked by newbies here.

You have mentioned some good points but i would say there is still lot to go in this ocean of knowledge where you will find many such quotes and knowledgeable guides that will help you lot.Although you have not mentioned me in this list  I appreciate your efforts so keep the good work.
