Yes it's totally the end of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.
Bitcoin has died 269 times since it was first created, surely that must mean that the end of cryptocurrency is near.

You can leave your condolences on the articles that are listed on this website: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/

I really hope that this would be the case indeed, but I'm a bit doubtful.
Most crypto-based ad networks don't really have enough publishers to be able to compete with Google, this isn't suddenly going to change with Google banning crypto-related ads.

It's pretty sad that now two of the biggest advertising networks have banned all crypto-related advertisements. It's probably less expensive to ban them all than it is to moderate all ads.

That's already a pretty impressive list, but there's one resource missing that I've personally been using extensively over the past couple of years.
http://www.thepokerbank.com/ -- It's a website that teaches you all of the basic concepts, as well as some advanced ones. It's completely free.

I think that most players must have seen this website at some point, because they top the Google results for some popular queries

I reckon that the projects that are doing bounty campaigns here on the forum just have a reasonably large marketing budget.
Then paying a few Bitcointalk members to participate in promoting the ICO isn't a really big chunck of their budget.

Also, part of all of the bounty is usually paid out with their own tokens, how does that cost them anything?

I'm not a big fan of theories like this, especially if you imply that somehow your luck is altered, just by positive thinking.
That's really going towards the realm of pseudoscience and there's simply no proof that positive thinking has any effect on the outcome of a game of chance.

That said, it could be beneficial to engage in positive thinking. Your behavior might become less risky if you think positively and you might become less affected by negative emotions.

A lot of people are just lazy and use whatever they find first. I've always thought that Yobit was a shady exchange, read quite a few horror stories about them.
As far as I know they do offer some coins exclusively, but I think that says more about the coins in question than about the quality of the exchange.

I wonder if exchanges like Yobit can even continue to exist in the future, the competition is always getting better.

Why do you want to keep them on an exchange perse? Just so you can avoid accessing them in the meantime?
If that's your intent, it might be a good idea to look into making a time-locked transaction, your coins won't be spendable until a certain date or block height that you've set yourself.

I recently asked on this forum how to do this and someone gave me an easy tutorial to follow.
 
Here's a the topic if you're interested:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415595.msg24710770#msg24710770

I really hate the Forbes website with a passion, first that annoying 'skip' thing and then they divide a small article over multiple pages.
The article was mildly fun to read, but articles like these are pretty common.

I mean I've read about that exact same sentiment dozens of times, it always boils down to the same thing.
That we are still early adopters and that most people still don't trust cryptocurrency.

It has to do with the laws in the US and a few other countries. It's most likely a pretty big legal liability for Crypto-Games to offer their services to US citizens.
That said, so what if you use a vpn? It's not like their payment methods are country specific or anything, you're able to use CG anonymously.

They're not going the promote the use of a vpn ofc, but people do use them successfully for this exact purpose.

Disclaimer: using a vpn for cheating is wrong of course and can result in the termination of your account.

Is this guy being serious? He's against the notion that Bitcoin and other altcoins are using a public blockchain.
Again, we see the same arguments being made, criminals mine Bitcoin, so we should force every miner to register with some central authority. (the gist of it)



Proposes to implement a KYC equivalent but then for miners:


I don't even know where to start with all of this. This just seems like an amazingly bad idea, basically fuck everybody over just because there's a minority of criminals making money through Bitcoin mining?

Payment received and confirmed, thanks! I've been enlisted since January 2016, should really calculate all my earnings once

I wish people would stop calling this a 'hack', because it clearly wasn't, Binance users were victims of phishing.
Even in this article they're still calling it a hack, while also mentioning it was a phishing attack. Those two things are not the same 

You can always report those posts, they'll get noticed eventually and once a moderator checks their post history, they'll be removed.

One thing that might also work is ask the OP to lock the thread once their question is answered.
It's usually these 10+ page threads that have most unsubstantial posts.

I've done this with success here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3037747.msg31254470#msg31254470

Granted, it still took a while before the thread was locked.

Thanks for all the positive responses, I knew that stuff like this annoys a lot of people here.
Removing the option to embed images isn't a good solution though, I like it when the OP has an image displayed that's useful for the reader.

I'm just going to start calling people out more in specific threads, I've been doing that on special occasions already.
Not just for this issue, but for idiotic replies as well.

Example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2763027.msg31917165#msg31917165 (That entire thread is a complete shitshow)

I think that Bitcoin casino's are already better than traditional ones, mostly for the reasons that you've listed in your poll.
Why on earth would I play in a traditional online casino and wait multiple days for a payout, while it all happens instantly in Bitcoin casinos?

That's the one feature that causes Bitcoin casinos to have a major edge over regular ones. Who want to wait days for a payout and another couple of days to get the money onto your bank account?

That's got to be one of the worst ideas I've even heard, do you even know what the consequences of an action like that would be?
You basically have no certainty anymore that the coins you own will not just disappear one day.

Besides, it's a good thing that those coins are being sold. I assume that there will be many buyers, meaning that that huge amount of Bitcoin will be spread pretty thin.
Many smaller whales are better than just a few big ones.

Especially when there's a big picture in it, people just don't seem to care that they're quoting a massive OP when they reply.
It's one of the most annoying things if you have to scroll down a couple of minutes just to reach the bottom of the page.

This thread prompted me to make this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3089825.0 (Homeless use Bitcoin)

People are just quoting that picture without caring that it ruins the whole thread. I thought it was just common courtesy on a forum not to do stuff like this, but apparently not.
Just remove the picture if you want to quote the OP like that.

Usually it's not even needed the quote the OP, and if you have to, just pick the part you're answering.

If I strain my finger due to excessive scrolling, you're paying for my medical bills! (j/k)

You're literally complaining about normal market movements. It's not a bad thing that people sell when there's bad news, just like it's normal for investors to buy when there's good news.
Besides, how would you stop that from happening? You don't like buying Bitcoin at cheaper prices?

The prices are likely dropping due to a combination of the Bincance hack news and the Mt.Gox sale of their coins.

You have free wifi in most cities and homeless people usually do have a phone.
In this case, I think it might have been someone from the Bitcoin community who has helped set this up?

I know of a few organizations that give out phones to homeless people, because they need them so the organizations have a way to reach them if it's needed.

Best website is crypto-games and I'm not saying that because I have them in my signature. I genuinely like their website the most.
They offer the best selection of altcoins, instant withdraws and their chat is usually very active. The chat is also one of the most civilized ones, compared to those of other gambling sites.

Worst experience for me was Fortunejack. They're too much like a traditional casino, you have to wait too long for your withdraws and the house edge on most of their games is pretty huge.
