You made a mistake by taking money from your school to invest, my advice is that with the profit you pay what you owe from the school, you always have to pay for your responsibilities and then take the rest for short-term investments, for this time I hope you have no problems, but you must create an economic plan to establish yourself within the business and at the same time maintain your studies

Thanks for this interesting post. You can see the influence of technology advances, the Asian influence in general within the Bitcoin programmer, but it should be noted that all these "collaborations" received have been accepted in different parts of the world, but the Asian countries or economic "powers" have not he accepts it, why? Any particular reason besides being considered illegal?
23  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can be hacked? on: January 27, 2018, 02:56:36 PM
Through blockchain Every system created has some vulnerability that can be exploited for malicious purposes. Blockchain is not an exception. However, this does not mean that everyone can do it. I used to read a cybersecurity study where, according to university researchers, the identity of buyers who used blockchain could be recognized more than 50% of the time. This means that the purchase data with cryptocurrencies can be snooped. Obviously, it is possible. But, who can do it are:

1- Experts in cybersecurity and blockchain technology
2- Researchers with specialization in those fields

Few more. Maybe some computer pro wanting to earn a few bitcoins for the face if he can. These people are an overwhelming minority worldwide. And on the internet, millions of transactions are carried out, among which 1 or 2 will be yours from time to time.

25  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why media against bitcoin ? on: January 27, 2018, 02:29:30 PM
The media have always focused on large businesses, whether to give good or bad news about an organization, company, or anyone, they will speak whatever is necessary to maintain the attention of readers and viewers. Now, why bitcoin? It can probably be a marketing strategy to publicize the cryptocurrencies or to promote the fight against them and favor the government, in the modern era it is not reported to maintain the knowledge within the people, it is done to cause opinions , the news generates opinions. If a newspaper speaks ill of a person or company, opinions are generated in defense, others against, and some will begin to doubt... Its for business.

This is the bad thing about not having a security source that allows to keep a copy or that of a warning when an address is used from other servers. On the subject, it is difficult for you to recover it but follow the instructions or contact the center of attention
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin or Altcoins? Which is safer or more profitable? on: January 26, 2018, 07:20:17 PM
There are users who are very doubtful about the use of an Altcoin and end up investing only in Bitcoin. Many users (including me) invest in Bitcoin because its value will grow over time, plus that value is greater than gold and this is a big step. I have also noticed that the name of Bitcoin keeps appearing in the media, this is something that has helped with its growth, because when they talk about a product product and its used, this generates more reputation and credibility.

On the other hand, the Altcoins market keeps growing in a spectacular way and every day I see new projects that excite users. The reason why more users prefer to invest in the Altcoins is because they see a future they have not seen in Bitcoin, for example sending money through Bitcoin has become a headache because their rates have increased and it is not convenient for them. that we pay for services with this cryptocurrency.

So then, what would be the best option?

Hello! There are many wallets that can help you, I would recommend something like Trezor, it is one of the first physical wallets that appeared and has great support and development behind it. But if you want a wallet where you can control the most famous coins Exodus offers you an application with the possibility of having wallets of different currencies.
29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do we really need Bitcoin? on: January 25, 2018, 05:14:19 PM
bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies responds to different factors: the regulatory issue, mainly in countries like South Korea and China where governments investigate exchange houses because of the high volume of trading operations in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the announcement of principles of year of the technology giant, Microsoft, in which it reported that it stopped accepting payments in bitcoins and that it was later reversed. Still can not know what would happen if the currency collapses, but I think many will enter into crisis, especially by the exaggerated amounts of investment.
30  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jan 2018: A Defining Moment for Cryptocurrency Regulation Globally on: January 25, 2018, 05:06:56 PM
Analysts blame these crashes on concerns over possible new regulations on bitcoin or even banning its trade in South Korea, where some of the world's largest cryptocurrency markets are located.

These measures would come after Beijing ordered last year to close the digital currency exchange houses based in the country, while in the case of South Korea, the Government is acting to try to control a market that is unregulated and it is characterized by its extreme volatility.

The current price of bitcoin is around 40% below the record reached in mid-December, when it broke the barrier of $ 19,000 (15,500 euros).
31  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Government Regulations can affect the price of the Bitcoin. on: January 25, 2018, 04:57:52 PM
The bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that went off at the end of 2017 suffered sharp declines on Tuesday, among other things due to a greater willingness to regulate the sector, analysts explained. The most famous of the virtual currencies, the bitcoin fell below $ 11,000 on January 16 and was quoted at $ 10,656.46, marking a decline of 23 percent compared to the previous day, according to data from the Bloomberg agency.

"Explaining the movements of bitcoin is always complex, but this fall (...) could be explained by the signs of the will to increase regulation," said Neil Wilson, an analyst at ETX Capital. Last week the South Korean government explained that it was preparing to prohibit the exchange of cryptocurrencies, but shortly after it rectified and said that it was only a possibility. South Korea is one of the countries in the world with the most bitcoin exchange platforms, recalls the consultancy Capital Economics.

Investors have also been affected by rumors that China would be about to ban the "mining" of bitcoins, the computing process that allows this currency to be issued.

Take it easy, the btc within the market fluctuates constantly, surely by the beginning of February the slow increase of its value will begin again, all in order not to receive restrictions in the governments
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should people use Bitcoin? on: January 25, 2018, 04:43:18 PM
Because of the ease and anonymity it offers for transactions, I personally believe that for the purchase of products abroad it would be fully functional.

35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really secure? on: January 25, 2018, 04:00:22 PM
Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, that is, it does not have the supervision of any government, institution or state or private financial institution, unlike traditional currencies such as the Euro, controlled by the European Central Bank, or the Dollar for the Reserve. Federal of the United States. This feature reverts to anonymous and encrypted transactions among its users, so they are free of any commission or tax.
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what are the benefits of bitcoin? on: January 25, 2018, 03:47:51 PM
The main advantages of Bitcoin are the following:

 Freedom of Payment: It is possible to send and receive any amount of money instantly anywhere in the world, without borders, without holidays, without limits, etc. Bitcoin allows users to have maximum control of their money.

 Security and Control: Users have full control of their money and transactions. There is no chance of being charged unexpected charges as with other payment methods. The payments that are made with Bitcoins can be done perfectly without the need to give any kind of personal information of the user which makes your transaction perfectly protected against thieves. Bitcoin users can also protect their money with backups and encryptions.

 Transparent and Neutral: Any information concerning the supply of money with Bitcoin can be read and verified easily in real time. No organization or individual can control or manipulate the Bitcoin protocol because it is cryptographically secure. In this way we can say that the Bitcoin is neutral, transparent and predictable with what we can trust it perfectly.
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is changing the world. on: January 23, 2018, 08:03:52 PM
Its biggest difference compared to other currencies, it is a decentralized currency, so nobody controls it. Bitcoin does not have a central issuer like dollars or euros, the cryptocurrency is produced by people and companies from around the world devoting a lot of resources to mining.
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Worried about btc future on: January 23, 2018, 07:48:58 PM
Each of the digital currencies have their difference, obviously, uses security systems in the form of an algorithm. It is the way they have to maintain a strength at cryptographic levels. However, each of them uses a different system: in the case of Bitcoin, it uses the SHA-256d algorithm, while Ethereum uses EtHash. It also differs, and much, the time it takes for a block to be confirmed and validated by a miner. In the case of Bitcoin, the time to be added to the block chain is about 10 minutes (600 seconds), while in Ethereum it is only 16 seconds.

The prize that is obtained per mine block is constant in the case of Ethereum, while it is decreasing in Bitcoin. In the first, for each block mined give 5 ethers in a fixed manner, while Bitcoin uses a setting called Halving and approximately every 4 years (every 210,000 blocks) is divided.
39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you first hear about bitcoin? on: January 23, 2018, 07:39:22 PM
I do not consider myself a fan of bitcoin but I found out about it only a couple of years ago thanks to a friend, I was investing and getting very good profits (To be a web-based business gives good results as a second job option) Clearly, I work as a pharmacist in a pharmaceutical factory, but I have this as a second form of extra income. I work with cryptomt4 as a broker.
40  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Still possible to bootstrap blockchain via Torrent? on: January 23, 2018, 07:32:42 PM
These days I have found myself again with the tedious task of having to download the [Suspicious link removed]pletely again. Due to the recent security issue related to the upnp library, I deactivated it and the blockchain seemed to simply be stuck. Once activated it was noticeable that it was going faster, but not too much.

From there, I considered if it would be feasible to share it by BitTorrent. I searched and saw that until version 0.10 of Bitcoin Core the client downloaded a large part of the chain by BitTorrent (the famous bootstrap.dat). But this is no longer the case in later versions.
