201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Egyptian police arrest a man for trading bitcoin on localbitcoin on: June 02, 2016, 01:51:22 PM
Can't read a damn thing as it's in Egyptian language (Google translate doesn't help much.). Is there some other reason why the guy got arrested, or did they arrest him just because he's trading bitcoin?

it is because he is reading bitcoin. there is no other reason.
the release summary is they explained what bitcoin is and how they caught him with $13900, a tablet and a cellphone

you can follow the services board from time to time. you may find a task that does not require any high skills like typing or data entry. also you may sell some digital stuff on digital goods board. but always deal with trusted or through escrow to be safe from scammer

https://facebook.com/MoiEgy/albums/1101763136534015/

the post summary :
It's the official Facebook page for the Egyptian Ministry of Interior.

Basically the article says a 30 year-old Egyptian dentist, which it names as Ahmad A. H., was arrested for trading in foreign currencies. The security services contacted him on localbitcoin, and arranged an exchange of $13,900 for BTC at a rate of $570/btc. They met him in New Cairo and arrested him. He had $13,900 USD on him and a tablet, as well as pictures of various exchanges and deposits. The article concludes saying he confessed to the incident confirming that he was using the tablet and money to buy Bitcoin, and that he was put in front of the public prosecutor.

The article doesn't specify what the exact charge is, but it does mention trading in foreign currencies several times. Many of the comments refer to the government as ignorant or stupid, and asking where is the crime?


it seems that bitcoin is going to be illegal in Egypt soon !

206  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-05-29] Venezuelan Pastry Shop Accepts Bitcoin Despite Public Distrust on: May 29, 2016, 06:07:21 PM
A Venezuelan pastry shop, Tortas Don Eduardo, accepts bitcoin, despite the fact that acceptance has been slow, according to diariobitcoin.com, a Latin American bitcoin journal. The proprietor, Eduardo Hernandez, investigated bitcoin while using the web in his work.

“At first, the concept of bitcoin is strange, but if you work on the web like me or if you sit to investigate the matter, (it) turns out to be a possibility when doing business,” Hernandez said.

Why Accept Bitcoin?

Hernandez adopted bitcoin on account of its growth as a currency, its market value, and its ease of transaction. In Venezuela, bitcoin serves as an alternative exchange control, which allows users to accumulate foreign currency gains.

“The bitcoin is not regulated by the laws of Venezuela or by any government, so that these legal limitations are no longer an obstacle,” he said.

The Venezuelan government has taken a strict stance on foreign currencies, including bitcoin, CCN reported in October.

Early last year, CCN reported that CANTV, Venezuela’s state-owned and largest Internet service provider, blocked many bitcoin-related domain names, websites and mining pools.

those haters are always in the speculation board spreading fear between members to push them to sell cheaper so they harm the btc market. but this time they did not succeed
208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: where you get bitcoin news every day ? on: May 29, 2016, 10:41:27 AM
I usually follow bitcoin news by searching on google news so I can get many options to choose from and read from more than one site

then you can call him "you" to be in the safe side. English does not have masculine and feminine for a lot of words so you maybe save most of the time from this gender mess Cheesy
210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you ever bought something from the deepweb with bitcoins? on: May 28, 2016, 12:07:23 PM
I wonder how some people would trust to pay for unknown guys on deepweb ? the potential of getting scammed their is higher. and one may be tracked and caught by his authority
211  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 28, 2016, 12:04:16 PM
two days rally ? what is going on with the market? I like the price to be rising in a steady and slow way not in sudden then it collapse after few weeks to the previous levels

As far as I know, Google does not allow selling accounts. so be aware of buying an account then getting banned or blocked from them.
214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin halving almost there... brace yourselves :-) on: May 16, 2016, 11:03:41 PM
In my oppinon it`s better to step out and watch what will happen  Wink
There is too many thoughts and speculation around halving. Keep calm.
it is better if you do not want to take the risk. but if the price go up, you will have to buy again on a higher price ? you will miss the train
I agree with you in one condition, if one cannot afford losing, it is better to sell before halving
215  Other / Off-topic / Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..." on: May 16, 2016, 10:58:41 PM
I would sell all my bitcoin if I was out of fiat and I am in really need for money to spend. So if in this time bitcoin is not viral yet, I would have to exchange them first.
I also will sell them if a hard fork happen
216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Theymos: “Bitcoins Belonging to Satoshi Should Be Destroyed” on: May 16, 2016, 10:56:03 PM
how can these coins be destroyed ? the only one who can do that is satoshi only. So it depends on what he wants not what we want to happen.
satoshi did not spend a single satoshi even when btc reached 1000$. why should we expect a big dump ? I think he do not want to hurt bitcoin
217  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can bitcoin rise up to 800$ this year ? on: May 16, 2016, 09:04:16 AM
it seems difficult to reach $800 this year because we are close to the halving and the price is still in the same levels from the beginning of this year with a slightly ups and downs. maybe it will happen next year
218  Other / Off-topic / Re: Worst mistake you did with Bitcoin? on: May 16, 2016, 09:01:47 AM
This is my worst mistake of all mistake that I did I think...When I was updating my first ever bitcoin core wallet, it freezes in activating best chain, So I decided to uninstall my bitcoin core wallet and delete the whole file and start again..I mistakenly Ctrl+A and delete everything including my wallet.dat..I was still newbie that time, lucky that it only has .05 in that...

what a mistake.  I think this mistake taught you a lesson on how important making a backup regularly is. BTWI did not use the core wallet before 
219  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to collect BTC ?? on: May 16, 2016, 08:57:42 AM
you can get bitcoin by mining but you have to buy some hardware and the halving is coming and you may be not able to get your ROI. you can also buy it from a friend or from exchange site. you also can get paid by bitcoin for doing jobs on the service board or selling goods on digital goods board
220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why cant people spend other's money on: May 15, 2016, 11:55:39 PM
the percentage that someone may generate a used address by chance is very very low and it is impossible to make it with vanitygen. but it you are afraid, you can move your funds from address to another from time to time
