Imagine a way to expand bitcoin payments to millions per second. Now, imagine a clunky, command-line interface. That's the extent of the divide between the vision enabled by bitcoin's best-yet scaling solution, the lightning network, and the current state of its design. But while that's daunting, developers are moving ahead on designs to make the payment system easier to use, with one recently submitting a proposal for connecting lightning with a payment technology that could make it feel as futuristic as it's touted. That payment technology, near-field communication, or NFC, would allow a user to pay for an item just by holding their smartphone an inch away from the device it's paying.

Approaching the end. Few airdrops left before we can start to see what's this coin real market value: it won't happen overnight but, as far as it concerns me, I have no intention to sell. I will wait to see if there will be some real world uses/integration and plan accordingly.

It did not last the price went back again. The logarithmic downtrend is in place, still an we need much more fuel than this to sustain more legs up to cross 10K

What I would like to see globally regarding exchanges and tax is automatic tax collection by exchanges,based on daily,weekly,month or year period.How much this is technically feasible I do not know,but imagine how easy this would be for users and how good it will be for tax offices/governments.
This happens with most trading online platforms for regular markets already: you get taxed directly by those companies. I guess what will always be the pain point here is that if we are smart enough and good enough to store our crypto we will always find ways to avoid taxes and to jump from country to country with crypto. Or, at least, that's what I hope. |

Of course a USB could be accessed by an offline air gapped PC. And a hardware wallet could by design have it's records regenerated on a PC if the key word set were known. A bad actor or government actor could exert influence on a hardware wallet company, say by causing certain items to be included in an update of the hardware wallet. This is at least in my opinion, a long term risk worth mulling over.What is your solution to that long term problem? I am puzzling myself to find the best possible way to store a few bitcoins long term and, as of today, I have no solution for that. If I look for security, in case I die, nobody will ever be able to recover my coins (until bitcoin cryptographic security is broken). I supposed that leaving a trezor behind could have been that solution but right now I don't think that is a viable option. |

Thumbs up! I am spreading news and insights about Bitcore since the beginning. I must admit I was really skeptic at first but after seeing how things have been done here I became an active supporter. Keep it up |

I'll get cryogenically frozen when I die, and let the future sort out my problems.
 Infofront: a wannabe Philip J. Fry! If the future keeps unfolding this way you're better off dead than alive  By the way, I picked the price right for today in the poll: that might need an update tomorrow. Thanks! |

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have seen huge gains over the past year, and that's left many first-adopting crypto-asset investors sitting on some big paper profits. Recently, the IRS has made it clear that it expects its tax revenue from sales of bitcoin and other high-flying digital currencies, and the tax service is working hard with other players in the cryptocurrency space to make sure that it can enforce investors' tax obligations.

I will never allow anything of that sort to be included in my body. We are already living in a fucking Matrix and whatever the shit in a RFID chip, even if it's Bitcoin, I firmly say NO

A junior banker in Italy hijacked servers from his company to mine bitcoin — and thousands of others are doing similar things LONDON — Thousands of staff are stealing computing power from their employers in order to mine bitcoin, according to a top cybersecurity CEO. Nicole Eagan, the CEO of Darktrace, told attendees at the Wall Street Journal's CEO Council event: "We have seen 1,000 crypto-mining cases in the last six months in the US alone with employees taking over company infrastructure for crypto mining. This is becoming a big problem." Crypto mining is the process by which new bitcoins are created and involves solving complex cryptographic problems. The computing power required to crack these problems has grown exponentially since the creation of bitcoin in 2009 and it now takes huge banks of servers to crack codes. Online mining "pools" have sprung up that allow people to plug their computer capacity into digital networks and earn a share of the collective rewards.

And live on Crazy BitcoinTalk press news the following story  People are going to great lengths to protect their bitcoin at a time when it's still valuable. Although the highly volatile coin has plunged from its record high of $19,340 last December, it's still worth just over $6,800 a coin today. But according to research from the digital forensics firm Chainanalysis, 17 to 23 percent of all bitcoin is lost forever.

I take no joy in profiting from war
I do, make the rich richer & make the poor poorer. It’s the way the world has been for centuries. Choose which category you wish to fall into. Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I’m willing to go to hell if it makes my time alive better yeah  Holy shit what do I have to read. LFC you are on your way to ignore, because ignorance deserves to be ignored. I really hope you'll get rich, you'll find no joy in that. “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.” ― Bruce Lee |

Soros and the Rockafella paid Forbes to make such predictions Not that I am against it uh! But Forbes' been a bit deceptive, devious and shifty when talking about BTC. Love that headline though: The Harder The Fall, The Higher The Rise! Makes a good book name That's possible. Soros is a known manipulator that loves this tactic of paying shills or protesters to prepare grounds for investments. He was involved in the disturbances in Ukraine that lead to the fall of the government. There are even videos of Ukrainians saying how much they were getting for a day of protesting in 2014. He was also financed anti government protests in Poland in 2016. Let's sit and watch while it unfolds. It's going to be the game of the whales now. The game cannot be undone now, it started already. Let's sit and watch while it unfolds, correct: we cannot do much when the game is played by these big whales. The only thing we can do is to hold btc and not fund their game on the exchanges. This is not our war |

Ok, we all knew it here but I don't buy it. Corporate shit cannot change overnight! Even if they get sued for good, the point is they probably made insane amount of money by calling bitcoin a fraud and then playing with it (and, hence, with us). |

all drugs are good mkay
sometimes in moderation and sometimes fun with no moderation. fuck it enjoy life
Try anything once, twice if you like it.  What if you like it so much that you would wanna keep on trying it for the rest of your life even if it may have a high chance of fucking it up? That's just a matter of personal fortitude and self restraint. I have seen a few "one shot, one kill" in my life to be completely against how you see it. Especially when we are young we don't realize what those things can do to ourselves (and when mixed even worse). I consider myself lucky to have had personal fortitude and self restraint (I did like the white one but I had to stop) |
