For now bitcoin currency is my temporary source of support for my daily needs. It's pretty good to use bitcoin because anywhere in our country I can cash out and in my country. There are a few stores that accept bitcoin currency as payment on the items i bought.

Why bitcoin rising up and down?
can any person tell.
it's because of supply and demand if many people have more interest in bitcoin the value price of the bitcoin currency will affected too and i think the price also set by a seller and a buyer.

Britain’s GCHQ Spy Agency Is Closely Monitoring Bitcoin

GCHQ, the British equivalent of the NSA, is closely monitoring bitcoin at the behest of its government. The code-cracking agency, famous for deciphering German communications via its Enigma machine in World War II, now has a new threat to track. Like many other government agencies around the world, it has taken a keen interest in bitcoin.

The UK’s GCHQ is Watching BTC

Government Communications Headquarters, better known as GCHQ, was founded in 1919 and, in its own words, has been “keeping Britain safe ever since”. In 2015, it emerged in the leaked Snowden documents that this remit included collecting information from “every visible user on the internet”, hacking into smartphones using a tool named “Smurf suite”, and eavesdropping on the communications of British politicians.

It’s safe to say that bitcoin isn’t new to GCHQ. The agency has taken a renewed interest in the virtual currency though in recent months following bitcoin’s stellar ascent which has taken many people by surprise. Chris Ensor, the deputy director for GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre division, told The Telegraph that British government departments have ordered it to investigate security risks posed by bitcoin. He said:

We are interested in anything that could affect the country, so Bitcoin is a major thing now.
The agency is reportedly exploring bitcoin from various angles, including how it works, the possible benefits of harnessing its blockchain technology, and the possible threat it poses to the country’s monetary system. Like everyone who’s new to bitcoin, many British politicians are intrigued by the currency, but are also wary.

The website look suspicious on me the detail was not is incomplete, It's good to know that you've already paid out but we still do not know if this site is legit. mostly new cloud mining is legit at first but it's going to be a scam. so it is better to stop immediately if you have already paid out.

New Wallet from Opendime, the Coinkite Coldcard, is Cypherpunk Cool

Innovation within the ecosystem spawned by bitcoin never ceases to amaze. From the folks at Coinkite comes Opendime‘s latest wallet project, Coinkite Coldcard. It’s funky and nerdy looking, beautiful in its own way, yet promises to have elegant security features as well.

Coinkite Coldcard
If cypherpunks could’ve designed a wallet, it would almost certainly be like the latest Opendime offering.

The first impressive project that blew my mind from them was the second iteration of their USB stick, allowing holders to store bitcoin more like cash in the sense of its physicality, and it could be used multiple times (see video below). An online spending feature required something like a bobby pin to poke out the seal in order to activate. It remains a killer design – and its hole in the self-contained keyboard made for a neat necklace or keychain charm.

Opendime’s parent, Coinkite, has A long history in the ecosystem, and the Canadian-based firm is known for its gritty, solid work.

So it was with some delight I happened across their bitcoin improvement proposal (BIP) BIP39-based coldcard. Right away, I was struck by the old school, 1980s calculator design. It has a fat organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen with a PIN keypad just below, inclusive.

267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are so many people against bitcoin? on: December 09, 2017, 03:00:33 PM
I'm trying to understand why are so many people against bitcoin?  is it the innovation that scares them? the feeling of staying behind? the fact that that money will go to the wrong hands?

many reason why people against bitcoin. first, it's because they lack knowledge about bitcoin so they do not want bitcoin and they are always focused on the bad side produced by many scammers.second, because they are insecure they will not be able to make it more profitable in bitcoin currency.
268  Economy / Economics / Re: Why did you choose bitcoin? on: December 09, 2017, 02:26:00 AM
i choose bitcoin currency it's because bitcoin currency was the father of all alternative coins and i know bitcoin is always on top better than other currencies and only bitcoin can convert to our own money.

Well i really don't know where to post so i am sorry i am here to ask you a question
In past i tried to join many signature campaign but got no reply from them i just post there and got nothing so i want to know how will we know that we're accepted in signature campaign i saw many people wear the signature and then post there application
how does it really works ?
after you apply to the signature campaign you will only know that if your name is in the "spreadsheet" you will not receive a personal messege from the campaign manager and if your history post are constructive and meaningful. because most of the campaign managers review the post history of the applicants before accepting them in their campaign.

if you are accepted or hire, read the rules of the signature campaign it is important that you know where to post and which section are prohibited  to post for example: "off-topic, gambling, meta, beginers help, etc." is not counted. It means they do not include in your posts in the sections mentioned so you do not need to post in those sections.
270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [12-7-17] Three Times as Much Bitcoin Cash Has Been Claimed as Bitcoin Gold on: December 08, 2017, 11:15:22 PM
Three Times as Much Bitcoin Cash Has Been Claimed as Bitcoin Gold.

The public’s appetite for forked coins seems to be diminishing. Data shows that around 6.6 million BCH has been claimed to date, compared to just 2.2 million BTG. There’s still time for more bitcoin gold to be claimed, but thus far most holders have been deterred from doing so. Reasons include BTG’s low value compared to BTC, and the perceived risk of splitting bitcoin via a third-party tool in order to claim forked coins.

Forked Coins: Free Cash or a Waste of Time?
Three Times as Much Bitcoin Cash Has Been Claimed as Bitcoin GoldOf the bitcoin forks to have occurred this year, bitcoin cash has been the most popular. In terms of uptake, value, and adoption, BCH is the market leader by far. This much can be gleaned simply by looking at the market prices and trading volume of bitcoin cash versus that of its successors, bitcoin gold and bitcoin diamond. Newly crunched data now shows the extent to which bitcoin cash has outmuscled its younger siblings.

Data researcher Antoine Le Calvez has been tracking the movements of BCH and BTG on forks.network since the coin splits came into existence. His figures show that three times as much bitcoin cash has been claimed as bitcoin gold, which was born three and a half months later. A series of charts track the amount of BTG and BCH that were moved following the respective forks. In other words, they indicate the amount of each coin that was claimed by bitcoin holders. That figure stands at 2.2 million for BTG but 6.6 million for BCH.

Has the Public Had its Fill of Forks?
The available data for coin splits doesn’t take into account coins that have yet to be claimed. Notable holders of large amounts of bitcoin such as Coinbase have yet to issue BCH to their account-holders, and it is uncertain whether the broker’s BCH holdings will show up as “moved” – i.e claimed – at this moment in time. When bitcoin cash was created, there were just under 16.5 million BTC in existence. With one study suggesting that 4 million BTC are lost or locked up forever, that leaves around 12.5 BCH and BTG up for grabs. From this, it can be extrapolated that around 53% of the world’s available bitcoin cash has been claimed versus just 18% for bitcoin gold.

What is the safest way to keep bitcoins.

Taken dangers like hacking, losing in to account!
You can use a hardware wallet "LEDGER" to protect your bitcoin from hacking and losing in to account. you can also use a blockchain so your bitcoin will be safe on the blockchain wallet because it has a private key.

Watch out for this guys, clearly it's a scam but some people might be drawn to the easy bucks
The details of the website are incomplete so the scammer are obviously behind on it. Maybe those who are victimized are those who want easy money and do not know how to be careful.

Thank you for your warning by the way.
274  Bitcoin / Press / [2017-12-6] South Korean Financial Regulators Ban Bitcoin Futures Trading on: December 06, 2017, 04:02:38 PM
South Korean Financial Regulators Ban Bitcoin Futures Trading

It appears that South Korea is bowing out of the race for bitcoin futures trading, leaving the field wide open to the Americans and Japanese. This is not because established financial companies are reluctant to offer the new instruments in the bitcoin obsessed country, but due to another official ban.

FSC Futures Ban
South Korean Financial Regulators Ban Bitcoin Futures TradingAfter securities brokers in South Korea were already gearing up to introduce bitcoin futures trading to their clients, the country’s top financial regulators have decided to place a ban on the practice. The Financial Services Commission’s issued this directive on December 5, applicable to all the members of the Korea Financial Investment Association.

In response, Korean brokers such as eBest Investment & Securities and Shinhan Financial Investment had to cancel pre-planned client seminars for bitcoin futures trading, this according to a report by The Korea Herald.

South Korean authorities have already banned the practice of ICO, started looking into taxing bitcoin payments and established a governmental task force to regulate trading. And the local industry is not willing to take all this laying down.

Kim Jin-hwa, the former head of Korbit is reportedly working on bringing together the country’s leading bitcoin venues Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit to establish an association to represent the interests of the industry. “An entry of new technology into Korea is hamstrung by the regulation,” he told the newspaper.

The Race Is On
South Korean Financial Regulators Ban Bitcoin Futures TradingWhile South Korea might be leaving the race for now, other countries are moving full steam ahead with bitcoin futures trading.

Cboe is preparing to launch its offering on Sunday, and CME Group will follow the week after. Meanwhile in Japan the Tokyo Financial Exchange won’t be left behind for long and is now planning to launch its own bitcoin futures.

Retail brokers have already started to prepare their clients for the new exchange-traded bitcoin instruments, beginning with TD Ameritrade and Ally Invest.

Australian Vault Provider Says Securing Bitcoin in Safety Boxes Is Trending

The price of bitcoin has become extremely valuable these days as one BTC is roughly $12K right now. This has led to bitcoin enthusiasts keeping their coin on hardware and paper wallets. However, some bitcoin proponents are taking bitcoin security to the next level by using companies that focus on securing people’s assets like gold and cash.

Bitcoin Being Kept In Custodial Vaults Is Becoming a Trending Pattern
Australian Vault Provider Says Securing Bitcoin in Safety Boxes Is TrendingOne of Australia’s leading private vault and safety deposit box operators, Guardian Vaults, says they are protecting people’s cryptocurrency assets within its safe vault locations more often. Guardian Vaults has been seeing a trend of customers who want to secure their bitcoin hardware and paper wallets with the business for extra security. The company explains that traditionally customers keep cash, gold bullion, and passports inside the vaults but they expect more safety deposit box demand to hold vast bitcoin holdings. 

Guardian Vaults says that anyone can set up a custodial safety deposit box in as little as 30 minutes. The firm doesn’t just use traditional boxes housed in cement and guarded by armed guards. The Melbourne based company uses technology like biometric hand scanners, facial recognition protocols, access codes, and dual key boxes housed in bedrock. The firm has seen a lot of demand this year as the company has added 5,000 more boxes to its 28,000 boxes housed between its Melbourne and Sydney locations. The company believes hardware and paper wallets serve a great purpose, but safety deposit vaults provide an added layer of security. Guardian Vaults explains;

Some people do not like bitcoin because they do not know the positive feed back and what it helps to those who like ours. others have just focused on negative news and false news about it so if they hear the bitcoin scam instantly entering their brain.

invest your money to bitcoin currency then hold it or make your rank higher than newbie and apply to signature campaign and when you get there read the rules and start posting, you can earn from signature campaign. then if you have much bitcoin currency convert it to your own fiat.
