- criminal enterprises, such as those who are cashing out stolen credit cards and compromised pay pal accounts into the BTC - people using BTC to obtain illegal items, like drugs, arms, and counterfeits - all varieties of scams/cons - absurdities like Vanuatu citizenship, potentially also possible to (miss)use for illegal enterprises - legal retail in shops, grocery stores, gas pumps, hotels, investments, travel... - speculation, obsession with quick profit, and complete disregard from actually ever branching away from fiat money
In simple word all of the above are keeping the value of bitcoin but even paper cash are used by drug dealers and scammers so why we should only blame bitcoin for being used by criminals. Everything have both positive and negative uses and same goes for bitcoin. Bitcoin is more about financial freedom. People can buy anything they like with the money they have...

I will rather hold multiple ICO based tokens than coins that are actively being traded right now because with good ICO token we can easily make over 10x within a year or less than that time.
I am currently holding more than 10 altcoin and 20+ tokens which I have bought during ICO.

I will be buying some Viberate at current price which is just ICO price and I think its worth to invest in this one if we can hold for longer term like 6+ month. They gonna spend millions of dollar in advertising when they will finish listing them in most of the major exchange platforms.

There are hundreds of bitcoin clone and many of them have bitcoin name attached at end or start but that doesn't make them as valuable as bitcoin. If they can't offer anything more than what bitcoin is already providing, that how they gonna attract new users?
ETH and other smart contract based coins are getting good level of adoption because they are offering what bitcoin can't provide right now.

I am holding ; Byteball ETC ETH WAVES LISK OMG NEO (bulk amount)
I am actually waiting for some correction on price to buy cheaper coins.

Look at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1652072.0The guy there also have similar problem with his webmoney account, its looks like webmoney is direct competitor to bitcoin so they will never allow bitcoin to webmoney exchange.

There are many ICOs which have collected lots of fund even without proper bounty campaign, they might run signature campaign for few weeks and if they have good whitepaper and team behind than only few investor can just make their ICO successful.
There are many other forms of advertisement available other than bounty campaign in this forum from which ICO can get targeted traffics.

It completely depends upon where those ICO were based on and as recent changes in legality of ICO in many countries like china and korea, it is quite mandatory for all of the project to have kyc policy in place to get rid of any legal issues in future.

Haven't joined any airdrops except byteball till now and I don't think holding any of this coin is worthy. They might get dumped on first day of listing on the other hand byteball like coin which offers something different while distributing coin for free can be worth to hold for future.

Don't have deep knowledge on how offchain dapps will work in ethereum network but to understand difference between offchain and onchain transaction you can take coinbase as example.
All free bitcoin transactions we have in coinbase and xapo are offchain transactions while bitcoin transactions from one address to another address via other wallets is example of onchain transactions.

This thing makes your private keys secured but meantime you can't-do that since a wallet needs internet to send. But I dunno if there are existing ways to do that, coz that's all I know.
No I am talking about signing transaction with my private key offline and broadcasting them through online computer or wallet. I have heard somewhere this can be done via electrum or bitkey. Couldn't find any reliable guide till now to do it in right way...

I know that there are many hardware wallet available right now also we can make paper wallet but what I am searching is a guide which have step by step process to make bitcoin transaction using paper wallet details and without exposing my private keys online.
Suppose I have paper wallet printed from offline computer and printed it out from offline printer.
Now I want to transfer half of bitcoin from it, I know I can import that paper wallet in other wallets like blockchain.info or sweep private keys in electrum but I don't want to expose my private keys anywhere online.
So I want a guide where it will have step by step instructions on how to send half bitcoin from that paper wallet without exposing my private key...

Any transactions after the October 5th 2017 ledger split are completely separate between Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash and Million Bitcoin Cash. This means any Bitcoin acquired after the split does not include any Million Bitcoin Cash, and any Million Bitcoin Cash does not include any Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash. What does this mean? Why you are having ICO if this is forked from bitcoin just like bitcoin cash. Also you are announcing this one today rather than on 5th October.

everytime i do trade on exchanges (bittrex, hitbtc, etc) thers are some left over (like 0.5, 0.8 token) that i cant even sell if 1 coin is worth like 300 $, the left over (0.9) is worth like 280 dollars but i cant sell that shit do u know what to do with it?
I don't think they have such restriction for a coin whose price is over $300. For other coins whose value is just less than 0.10 cent or so you can purchase some more coin and sell all of them by clicking on the total amount you have shown in the sell order form. In this way you will not have any leftover on the platform.

Genesis mining is atleast registered but I will never trust them or invest in them.
All other cloud mining have shady business model which can't sustain for more than few months or years. They are selling more mining power than they actually have in their mining rigs, which is just like how ponzi operates.
I suggest you to better buy mining hardware and start mining on your backyard or garage.

Seems most Altcoins are almost at the bottom of their cycles, is this due to people selling back into BTC? I'm also aware there is a lot more competition out there with all the ICO's.
Could this continue all the way through October and November until BTC stabilises? Then there could be a huge upside, better leave Alts and wait?
What is your strategy going forward?
Thanks,
Rich
May be you are right, people are selling their alts to get back bitcoin and hold it for the fork. This might continue for next few days till actual fork date than all altcoin price in terms of bitcoin will go up while we might see a little correction on bitcoin price. I am holding half of my bitcoin and half in USD to buy back some cheap bitcoin during possible dump.

VIB trading on livecoin right now at almost 2x of the ICO price and looks like it can easily head towards 1$ per coin in near future. I will also buy some when there will be a little bit of dump which I think is imminent from the bounty hunters after listing.
|
|
|
I think NEO have more potential than QTUM to be real ETHEREUM killer, NEO is currently trading around $30 but it will soon reach $100.
I am quite bullish with NEO and grabbing more and more when it get dumped. I am also buying QTUM but I don't have any over speculation over it.

What is the Best Bitcoin Wallet for Online Gambling?
US based web wallets do not permit financial transactions to offshore gambling sites. As a result, they are actively shutting down accounts of anyone who sends or receives payments from accounts that are linked to online gambling. However, there are many gambling-friendly BTC wallets such as Switzerland based Breadwallet. You should also add electrum and jaxx on that list as both of them are SPV wallets which never save any of your details in their server and they don't have any KYC policy. Also you can write name of all those web wallets which strictly restrict use of their wallet for gambling related activity. Coinbase for example
