2021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Development in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa on: May 22, 2017, 10:53:34 PM
Can someone explain what is happening in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa etc, good or bad? I never read or hear anything about those countries. A quick look at "blockchain" or "bitcoin" at google analytics reveals an interesting list. I always thought that United States was the forefront but it's only place 34 on that list, below whole Scandinavia an many others. Maybe internet search interest is not equivalent as actual development but still interesting.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=blockchain


Again with the African mirage...
Insert 5 year old picture of taxi accepting bitcoin in Kenya...

Let's see, South Africa, average GDP/capita  0.25 btc,Kenya ,0.05,Ghana 0.05.
Maybe if the entire continent empties their piggy bank they might be able to buy one whole bitcoin.

Why should somebody care about 3 countries that don't have the economic power of Virginia alone?

What a write off of an entire continent and almost nothing changed from the principle of "partus sequitur ventrem" or indentured servant to slave that was Virginia about 1640. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_Virginia

But wake up now, it is 21st century and this is no Jamestown. We are talking here, about Bitcoin - free as air and almost like the sun that shines its light to all.
If for whatever reason many more people from Africa are now looking up "Blockchain and Bitcoin," it simply sign posts a new dawn for Africa, its people and all those interested in doing business in Africa.
2022  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Returning to bitcoin after 2 years! shocked at confirmation time! on: May 22, 2017, 02:51:49 PM
Bitcoin's confirmation time is not that bad considering that amount of time it requires for some Bank Wire's funding an account overseas. There's a bunch of Banks that require people to wait about 28 days in order to get their money, Bitcoin does not require that much of a wait.
Not having to wait for so so number of working days before a transaction pulls through is one of the ills in the financial sector that Bitcoin came to solve and interesting its first foot forward left no one in doubt. However, these days, a lot of grumbling is in the air, because people know it could be better than what we are getting.
2023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bank in Norway now supports Bitcoin on: May 21, 2017, 11:22:50 PM
I would agree on diesik on that terms. It is much more likely on a oline shop platform and not much more on acceptance, I doubt thwt it was stated there that you can sell your btc to that bank right? But instead you can only purchase btc and only in the coin base
Truth be told, this bank is simply out to cut its own cake out of something that is trending and full of potentials and not necessarily an acceptance, the two should never be mixed up. And acceptance sure cant work because it would be against the interest of the authorities that regulates the banks.
2024  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I think we are greedy on: May 21, 2017, 11:14:41 PM
since bitcoin price is rising every single day.
Yes, but don't count on that.  That statement sounds like every biotech and internet stock investor from 1999, right before the NASDAQ tanked in April 2000.  The Dow is always rising!  It's always gonna rise!  We're going to 36,000!!

And look at what happened.  There's no way to be in this market but to know that we could crash back to $420 at any time.  Doesn't seem like we're actually going to do it, but it certainly could happen.  And yeah, the fees are ridiculous.  There's no way around it.
This development actually pot ends  great danger to the survival of Bitcoin. While other forces standing against Bitcoin even in their numbers could not accomplish, Bitcoin may on  its own without realizing it hand it all over to them without sweat. In fighting can be such a disaster if not checked on time. Want to believe the core and BU would see ahead and resolve the blocksize issue for the love of Bitcoin and posterity!
2025  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In the near future,... on: May 21, 2017, 10:49:59 PM
But what i mean is something like a print that is only accessible for the wallet owner. Making himself his own bank.
Do you mean printing private keys as tattoo in private parts  Wink Because I think that is the only part where the owner himself can only have access. But this can't be secure way to hold bitcoin because tattoo may get damaged over time and if any of the alphabet get erased from that tattoo, your bitcoin will be inaccessible.
Printing your private keys on your private part might seem safe until someone gets the hint you are actually a walking ATM and your private part soon becomes public part. What exactly is the point wanting to use one's skin as storage medium when there are countless, cheaper and even more sophisticated storage devices begging to be used? 
2026  Economy / Speculation / Re: What price would you stop buying Bitcoin? on: May 21, 2017, 11:22:37 AM
As high as any bitcoin price I would still trade on bitcoin. Because this has become an important work for me. I live here. And until whenever I will not stop buying and selling bitcoin
For a trader like us, the price of bitcoin is not that big deal because we don't keep bitcoin for at least a year because we trade them regularly and we take advantage of the volatility of the price and that is how we make a living with bitcoin. In my opinion, as long as the market is active, i will not stop buying and selling bitcoin.
I am seeing it from the point of view of a crypto trader, that buying and selling is just a regular habit, but for a normal user, I think the higher the price goes, the less likely he would want to buy, but instead resort to selling his collection or part of it. Obviously, it is hard to say what the peak price of Bitcoin can be, but there are prices that would not be attractive for buying except in a dare situations like paying back debts or loans.
2027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino investment tracking on: May 21, 2017, 10:52:24 AM
Nice to see you have a site to have your portfolio well arranged and tracked. The performance from investing in the bankroll of casino sites is as can be expected satisfactory as the house always has the upper hand as can be seen across board. Nice to see those proof of earnings from GunBot from a neutral person and might influence me to take a decision on paying for the bot. I think you can add one more advert network and ask the dude behind GunBot to use your link as testimony and the traffic would start contributing to your income. Best of luck!

Btw, can this be shared or duplicated?

2028  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Earning with BTCs? on: May 21, 2017, 10:31:34 AM
Hello, I have about 3 BTCs that I would like to earn a little bit off of...I tried BTCjam and most lenders didnt pay back, so I made negative there..

I dont know trading so I dont know how that would be... any other ideas? Smiley
making profits through trading is a games of the skillful people and it take intelligent for you to really succeed in it. I only advise people that want to go for trading to first leaned how trading work and put money they can afford to loses.
Agree with you mate trading is not easy method to earn it will require lot of knowledge to get more income and lessen the risk of your investments. Correct all people can do investment but they need only invest that amount that they can afford to lose. And always careful by doing investment a lot of coins now are scam.
First and foremost lesson to learn about profit making and generally in life, is that there really are no easy or risk free ways for making money. What to do is to sort out which area that appeals most to you, because you are going to have to fall back on your passion often times along the road whichever direction you choose.

A question, I would like to ask is how did op come into his 3 BTC? Unless he had bought them with fiat currency, but if they were earned, then would suggest he stays with what is working for him as the leaf may not be greener the other side.   
2029  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin money? on: May 21, 2017, 09:51:52 AM
Actually the gov's have very little say, they just don't realize it yet. Its what the people decide it is not the government.  Those govt types need to start looking for new jobs and can I suggestthey look in the Crypto sector ha ha

Don't write the governments off like they don't know what Bitcoin is. They are very well aware of what Bitcoin is and how it works, and that they and their corrupted mafia banks are completely outruled. It's not for nothing that certain countries hold a defensive/aggresive stance against Bitcoin. In case of China, they absolutely hate everything that allows people to move wealth from their country to another. Bitcoin is perfectly suitable for that job, and that's exactly why I don't believe China will ever approach Bitcoin in a friendly manner.

why chian should pose a stance agaionst this when other country in asia are not doing the opposite? i mean in japan with bitcoin you could do the same you can move your wealth outside of japan, but still the government accepted it as a currency

Uh-oh, it kinda looks you are neither from China nor Japan

I know that you are from Italy, so it is forgivable that you might not know the history. Japan and China are likely the worst enemies that nations could ever be. And thus it shouldn't be completely ruled out that Japan accepted Bitcoin as a means of payment specifically to spite China. Apart from that, I don't see a lot of reasons why countries should be helping each other when they are in fact more often than not competing between themselves (and sometimes even fighting and killing their folks)
You would hardly see China and Russia going along with the rest of the world on anyone thing and this situation is not about to change even with the case of Bitcoin. If the rest of the settle to adopt Bitcoin, you will see these two taking the opposite direction as simple as that. Meanwhile both of them already have experimented with the idea of banning Bitcoin, but reality dawned on them that Bitcoin is as free as air, you can hardly cage it or tell it where not to go.

Nevertheless, Bitcoin appeals even to governments as a store of value - one outstanding feature of money and much as many of them might not be open with, some would no doubt be stacking money in Bitcoin, to run away from inflation and prying eyes.



2030  Economy / Speculation / Re: How realistic are the $1M Bitcoin predictions? on: May 21, 2017, 06:43:41 AM
$1 Million USD per Bitcoin is an exaggeration maybe it will reach $10,000 USD or $30,000 USD. If ever it happens that BTC is worth $1 Million, there will be a sudden increase of hackers around trying to brute force every single wallet address that they think of because the rewards is surely big specially wallets of those who are in to trading.
If the price of Bitcoin ever climb to $1000,000.00, it world rather create even more economic problems than the ones it came to solve. The community would even be the worse for it, because volatility never seen before will become inevitable, sophisticated and coordinated hacking including insiders selling out will become the other of the day. Bitcoin would simple become a problem to manage and if I may ask, how many people would be willing to pay $1 Million for 1 Bitcoin?
2031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some Bitcoin related service was hacked and User/Pass are leaked on: May 20, 2017, 11:15:28 PM
Apparently a couple weeks ago some sites started noticing unusual activity where there have been many sign-in attempts made with thousands of usernames.

At first Safedice caught this and cautioned everyone. Safedice assumed Bitsler was the leaked site.

However I am getting alerts of unauthorized login attempts with my username with various sites, and I have never been a member of Bitsler which means the leak is coming from somewhere else.

Anyone know of any Bitcoin related site that was hacked recently?

I know Bitcointalk was hacked about 2 years ago but most likely its something new since those passwords were all most likely changed by now.

For the time being, MAKE SURE TO USE 2FA
I think you did not get this, couple of weeks ago, there was this report that Cloud Flare was compromised and many sites actually advised their members to change their password and introduce  further security measures. That leakage must be the source of the rampant hacking lately.

2032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In the near future,... on: May 20, 2017, 10:59:41 PM
Simply tattooing your Bitcoin address is a bad idea, but I think in the near future it will be possible to implant a chip under your skin that will serve as your Bitcoin wallet, so you will never lose it, unlike your mobile device. The only problem is some thiefs might decide to cut your body part to rob you  Cry
Or maybe in the future we'll have lots of different brain implants and we'll be able to just memorize our private keys and seeds and do all the necessarily cryptographic calculations, so our brains will become our wallets.
Would be much better for one to be robbed of his hardware or devices than to have ones body hacked  in search of Bitcoin, that could be safely locked away in some offline wallet. Some of the thing that attracts robbers is show off and that is exactly what displaying your Bitcoin wallet address on your body is likely to do.

2035  Economy / Marketplace / Re: how earn btc from online??? on: May 17, 2017, 02:37:18 PM
Faucet is the easiest way. Might not make much, but make something.
It actually costs ypu so much more tp engage in faucets because the opportunity cost of the time and resoures you put into it, just to get little or nothing,  could take you quite far in learning to design or code. Among the ways to earn Bitcoin, the two above are more stable and reassuring.Time is a very scarce  commodity, no need wasting it.   
2036  Economy / Services / Re: earn $2 btc for 20 seconds of your time on: May 16, 2017, 09:17:24 AM
Why hackers have become proactive these past few days?

And like always a few greedy newbies jumped in and finished this task to either help someone get away with something bad or just they will get hacked themselves in the future or some gang/group will track their IPs and will pay them a visit with machetes.Smiley

At least get killed by criminals not for $2 fucking bucks mates.
  $2 is nothing compared to the trouble this smoke screen would leave behind. All those who tried and failed to log into the account have only succeeded in working for free for op. Only one person at the tail end would be able to log into the account and perhaps get the $2, but he will also inherit what was coming to real owner of this account, which most likely is op.   
2037  Economy / Services / Re: earn $2 btc for 20 seconds of your time on: May 16, 2017, 04:46:07 AM
what is the catch here? you provided a log in details but it never works on anyone who tried it, I'm curious why not just try logging it yourself instead and save some money instead of asking us to log in it and pay $2
He plans on  creating the impression that his account was hacked. He would eventually provide correct login details and all those failed attempts would  serve as evidence that his account was hacked. The one who eventually logs into the account will then become the prime suspect for the crime this son of lucifer commited. Stop being gullable people!
2038  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bank in Norway now supports Bitcoin on: May 15, 2017, 10:49:33 PM
The really novelty, I do not know if we will see it soon, would be that a bank gave the option to make an deposit into your account in bitcoin and change it directly to local currency or do the process in reverse, I donīt know if we will see this over time.
I am sure we are not going to see anything of such unless strict regulation first takes the center stage otherwise that would be like  preparing a feast for the criminally minded ones among us. The question begging for answer however is, whether a bank is indispensable for the survival of Bitcoin? My answer is a big NO!

We all agree Bitcoin is headed for the moon, but let stop mixing day dreams with realities. Such staggering value as $1M per Bitcoin and for an instrument the governments dubbed the favorite of criminals, would never be allowed to become that formidable and render all fiats irrelevant and valueless.
