Is Bitcoin really a decentralized currency? How many coins can there be?
-snip- I believe this answer is more detailed and would probably help more (maybe my explanations are not the best, I'm not an expert ^^). The main idea is if you create the necessity of the 75 characters, it will reduce spam (cause spamming sig campaign would become more expensive in time) and people would get used to answering in a more detailed way. Which can't be a bad thing in my opinion. Wrong. Your answer is a straw-man. The newbie did not ask what a decentralized currency was nor how it works. He only asked 'is Bitcoin one'; that's a yes and no question that can be expanded, albeit it would be redundant in this case. Imposing a character limit will not reduce any sort of spam but would rather negatively effect users that contribute by excluding their constructive albeit short posts. Spammers would just re-write more of what others posted to get above the limit (pretty simple actually). Wouldn't say a straw-man, more like a deduction. He asks if Bitcoin is decentralized. That means he doesn't understand how it works, because if he understood how it works he wouldn't ask if bitcoin is decentralized as it's the obvious consequence of the way it was created. Imposing a character is the same thing as putting a captcha before the faucets. It doesn't make it impossible to farm it, but it makes it more costly to farm it in an industrial way. And let's face the truth if you take all the messages of less than 75 characters I'm pretty sure 90% of them will be spamming answers. (Though I never did any stats of that it's just an impression :3 ) |

You also gotta admit it's a difficult trend for btc.
After a huge rise we're all waiting for some kind of better adoption, but without the system around it'll be hard...
BTC scaling is really a big problem right now, I'm pretty sure it's responsible for the rumours and the low price.

These kind of limitations will lead people to stop putting their money in banks and more people will start thinking about using bitcoin or other alternative to bypass these limitations.
Well yeah. But decentralization doesn't have only advantages. That means you limit a lot the power of your government. Well considering how shitty most governments are you can consider it as a side benefit  But still, it means a global adoption of bitcoin would lead every government to the ruins. |

I dont think you should be seeing a $100 price for bitcoin anytime so soon. In fact, I belive we will see 20x more than that same price very soon
Are you sure because it seems to be comfortably sitting at $375 & I don't think we will see any big rises any time soon. Well halving is coming soon, well in about 25 weeks. So that isn't really soon. But that will be a big pump. All depends on what you call a big rise. We broke the 390 some hours ago, it's not that bad. But it will depend if we reach a consensus before the halving or not. Because miners will need a high price at halving, so if no consensus then no new investment then miners unhappy cause having to dump their coins... It would be a very dangerous situation for btc. |

Islam is a plauge to this planet.
A plague not a plaugue. And not only Islam but all religions. The world is harsh enough like this, no need to add something as stupid as religion in our lifes!!! They all forbid arts and cultures at one point. Religion always goes with censorship, they're like brother and sister, always close each other. |

In Island people read a lot and every house has a huge library..it's a matter of culture and way of life
And you don't read headlines neither... Your commentary is exactly like the ones after the false article dude! You're exactly like them you didn't went after the headlines! |

I´m sure women can be quite proficient in weaponless self-defense but against male attackers I´d recommend an extendable baton. This is a very nifty weapon. If you get a good blow to the arms or shoulders or shins or better yet a stab to the groin it´s sure to move all the attacker´s attention from you and to himself.  Yeah but problem is in some of those degenerated European countries women don't even have the right to own a shit like this... If they defend themselves with that the man will have the right to sue her even if he attacked first >< |

Hillary Clinton Is Again Put on the Defensive Over Perceived Ties to Wall StreetMANCHESTER, N.H. — Hillary Clinton appeared frustrated. Dozens of prominent economists and academic experts have endorsed her plans to regulate the financial sector. Her policies would “try to prevent the problems of the future,” she explained in Thursday’s debate, in addition to reining in “the excesses of Wall Street.” So why do so many voters not believe it? Throughout the debate, Mrs. Clinton found herself cornered by Senator Bernie Sanders and the moderators about her ties to Wall Street, the political contributions that have bolstered her campaign account, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars in paid speaking fees she received from Goldman Sachs and other financial firms in the months after she left the State Department. Mrs. Clinton tried again and again to explain that her plans for Wall Street would be tougher and go further than Mr. Sanders’s proposals by also regulating the shadow banking industry, the insurance companies and other wrongdoers. “I have a broader view,” Mrs. Clinton said, contrasting her plan to that of Mr. Sanders, whose anti-Wall Street message has turned him from a long-shot candidate to a serious contender for the Democratic nomination. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/05/us/politics/hillary-clinton-wall-street-ties.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=b-lede-package-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news Sounds to me like these companies are trying to buy her. Why else would they donate their money to her cause. There is some interest there. A bought politician is a corrupt politician. Not what we need. Lol! Like any president of the USA haven't been totally bought by industries? They need the money to make the campaign. They were all corrupted even the black asshole Obama with his ideas of communism. They're all the same shit! Keep your money in your btc wallet and stay ready for the burnout! |

This is why I'm glad death penalty can still be applied in the USA.
You can say whatever you want, but for a pedophile, prison is not enough. He might escape or just be released for good behaviour.
But those people are totally sick, can't let them out.

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step. But what are some other ways? Well it would be a huge hassle for the clients, because they would have to find an ATM or go on an exchange. Nobody is bothered to do that. Well it could be the first step for an adoption xD But I didn't think about that before but... Do you seriously believe that a hooker would take the time to teach their clients about btc? xD I see it from here *hooker shaking her hips* "and you know it's a really cool thing cause it totally decentralized and all that shit" |

I find it good to have a minimum amount of character and/or sentences!
After all, if your answer is too short, that means you add nothing to the thread. So that you shouldn't post at all.
Your post is false and longer than the usual cut-off limit, albeit adds nothing valuable to the thread. Let's follow your logic with an example: Is Bitcoin really a decentralized currency? How many coins can there be?
Yes it is; a maximum of ~21 million coins.
According to you, this post adds nothing to the thread.  The length of a post has nothing to do with its quality. A post containing a few words can be much more valuable and accurate than one containing a hundred words. Stop supporting this illogical and harmful idea. Well my answer added my support to this idea and launched a debate between you and me from which might emerge additionnal content and reflexion. So it was not that useless ^^ Your example is a good one indeed! You see here the Expert answered quickly to the newbie. And I'm willing to bet that this answer is not enough! But with the minimal of 75 characters maybe he would have taken the time to answer: Yes it is. The principle is that only the person having control of the wallet can decide to send coins and to which adress. And the payment process is noted and confirmed by the miners, who can be anyone in the world running the Bitcoin scrypt. So the only way to centralize btc (so to control it) would be to control the majority of miners.
The number of coins is limited by the definition of bitcoin itself, it's aroung 21 million coins. I believe this answer is more detailed and would probably help more (maybe my explanations are not the best, I'm not an expert ^^). The main idea is if you create the necessity of the 75 characters, it will reduce spam (cause spamming sig campaign would become more expensive in time) and people would get used to answering in a more detailed way. Which can't be a bad thing in my opinion. |

I know I have posted something like this before, but this time I'm adding more descriptions, because I left out lots of details.
I want to earn 0.1BTC-0.3BTC in a month at most. I am 13 years old, so I do not have any bank account, so I can't spend any $$.
I am willing to do activities such as signature campaign and stuff.
Things to answer for me:
1. What is the highest paying signature campaign that I can participate in?
2. Any place where I can loan Bitcoin?
3. Any other ways that I can earn bitcoins FAST?
Things To Know....
I can program JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Processing JavaScript pretty well.
I spend 10+ hours everyday on my laptop.
I'm very determined. (Willing to do almost anything.)
My address is: 15k9H74VrEVGndYrrgHoDBkzBv5CNY1ukc
and donations are very appreciated!
It's possible, rather easy in fact. But two things: if you're 13 you'd better go to schoo, and if you're 13 you really know how to program in java AND hmtl + css? Oo Wtf are those kids? I still barely know HTML... And I won't give out my age xD |

Prometheus and his pump group are responsible for current Ethereum pump. Prometheus colluded with Ethereum members to obtain insider info about R3 news in December. Fake news posts and shill spam also stem from the group. They plan to dump soon.
Not sure who this joker is supposed to be, but I seriously doubt there is one person behind ETH's rise. By the way eating meth is bad, and if you've been doing it since 2013 I can see how you've become paranoid. Yeah but it seems really organized! All that fucking spam on reddit for example. I think there is a group behind it. You can't pump that much from nothing. Just don't fall for it, ETH current price is too high. |

Did you even sell one?
It's a bit strange because building an XXX site is a lot of work. Especially right now in our days where XXXsites are nearly too numerous.
So I think someone creating its X site will think the name and the adress far before. it's a long term project normally.

I haven't clicked on your link for fear of clicking on links, but here's a suggestion: Next time you use one of your local sex workers for sex, why don't you mention bitcoin to them and tell them how convenient it is. But be sure to explain the transaction times and the upcoming hard fork just so they're well-informed about potential problems they might have. You might want to suggest the Mycelium wallet or something for androids and that breadwallet for IOS. I'm sure it'll be a hit with him/her.
But it's going to be tough trying to stuff some satoshis into a strippers g-string.
Excuse me, I don't want to emit any judgement but... Sex workers? I don't where you are from but is it even legal? Cause if not... I don't think they'll accept anything but cash. |

I hope for american that Trump will not be the next president, i like more Bernie Sanders,
i also think this thread belong to politics section!
Like Sanders too but not sure he's really going to be very different from all the assholes we got... A politician is a politician. But Trump is just a joke. He's the way industries and banks found to distract us. If he reaches 2nd part of election, everyone will vote for the other one. |
