"Blockstream implementing their SegWit soft fork Trojan Horse"
Lmao this guy is losing it. The blockstream FUDsters know no limits on their nonsense. The trojan horse was the Bitcoin XT, then Bitcoin Classic hard fork attempts, not segregated witness, segwit is actual advance in scaling Bitcoin. Whatever, it's a waste of time dealing with this shit.

Well considering that they can't technically do anything against it, they would start passing laws about banning the traffic from all nodes to difficult running the network, they would also try to screw up all exchanges, scary population with big jailtime, a lot of negative propaganda in the news, and have a false satoshi to mold Bitcoin they way they want it to be.

so seen people saying halving all the time? what is it so when bitcoin halving the price reduce or rise?
halving means that block rewards will be halved, so miners will get less money from bitcoins and maybe it will be unprofitable for them so they will leave their jobs so price will have to rise so price will rise and some people predicts that price will rise to 1200$ but i think that we will be pretty lucky if price will rise to 900$ as there will be a lon of people that will sell bitcoins There are a lot of people that will indeed panic sell hard, specially those that bought around the 700-900 area, but there will be a lot more people buying due fear of missing out aka FOMO. This is inevitable because this time Bitcoin is way more matured than it was back in the MtGox days, which would put the next ATH at anything around 4000 USD.

200k would be insane. Maybe once mining is obsolete in 100 years? who knows
No, we should hit 6 figures in the next 10 years. The marketcap is insanely small for Bitcoin right now, the power of Bitcoin is on the trillions of dollars for a marketcap, which would put the price at more than 100k dollars. This is EASILY achievable in the next 10 years as options to move money outside of the system become practically impossible besides Bitcoin.

http://www.thehalvening.com/I swear that truck with the fuel was not here a couple of days ago. Things are happening and the hype is real. This Craig Wright incident only helped getting the community stronger than ever and the mainstream attraction towards bitcoin is at all time highs. The price is in fact going up. I can't wait for this summer, I know something great is about to happen.

To be honest, it's the guy's fault that did this huge mistake (how the fuck do you not realize you are sending that insane amount for a fee?) I mean unless he was drunk, I have no idea how I would ever do this. Bitcoin is about self-responsibility, so if you can't eve properly send a fee, that's your fault and the miners aren't forced to give this guy's money back, even tho it would be nice.

We will see. If we have lightning network, segregated witness, schnorr signatures... and so on and so on, then it might be irrelevant to risk a hard fork at that point, since we will probably still not be at top capacity after all those features are deployed, so it's maybe not worth the risk of both the hard fork itself and node centralization as well. Time will tell, now the focus is on making bitcoin better, and that's exactly what they are doing.

Stopped reading at "Blockstream takeover". Gavin has taken away privileges from other people in the past, because they were inactive. Gavin removed long time contributor "dooglus": https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4hvevo/slug/d2t16mhSo as you can see, it's time now to remove it from him, because he hasn't contributed to anything for ages, and he has also been fooled by a scammer which doesn't make him a guy that can be trusted enough (assuming that he wasn't part of the plan of this weird Craig incident)

Well, it's obvious now that this was all either a scam from the guy that wants to get a lot of attention and media around him to later capitalize on it, or this is indeed a PSYOPs operation to take power away from Core devs as pointed by some people that cleverly realized this is a really serious option to consider.

We have over 80 slots games all with high end graphics and animation provided by two of the leading slot providers, Booming and Endorphina. You can try for free at https://betking.ioReally cool graphics and tons of different layouts, will try later if I get bored during my next work break in demo mode. Im not into strange looking layouts so I liked the booming 777 seven one, too bad its only a 3 line machine.

I agree with this. The higher price can attract more people to bitcoin. After they see the benefit of bitcoin, they will use it.
This time if BTC rises above 1000$ it will go ballistic because last time it was all over the news at these prices. Everyone and their mother is will be FOMO all over the place. They remember the butthurt they felt for not buying BTC when it was cheap and they don't want it to happen again. Besides, bitcoin ransomware is getting more and more popular because people are actually paying the ransom. It happened to my friend's friend (a CEO of some wood company). They were suffering a giant loss every day because their documents were encrypted by the malware. It forced them to buy bitcoins to pay the ransom and thus the price had to rise a bit. The rise to the last ATH is a matter of days now. It could be in 2 months, in 4 or tomorrow, it's a bull bomb about go to to mars and I feel bad for all those people that can't see such an obvious opportunity to get a good position in the most important asset to ever exist. I guess that's why we will be rich, because not everyone can make it.

Why are you people getting excited about some Bitcoin address containing millions of dollars? So what it's probably some company's hot wallet. What are you going to do by investigating these transactions? It's not like you are going to steal their coins or something. Should we go snooping around Cristiano Ronaldo's bank accounts because he drives a car for 1 million dollars as well? Oh yes he probably has half a billion in there already People will always do that as long as they can't. And we can't spy on Cristano Ronaldo's finances because banks don't make it public. Meanwhile Bitcoin shows amounts of money being moved a click away, that's why we need improvements like CT and CJ. If Cristiano Ronaldo ever used Bitcoin, and someone made public Cristiano Ronaldo's Bitcoin address, just one address linked to Ronaldo would cause 100 Reddit threads of people speculating about it (and once a Bitcoin address is attached to your real name, is attached to you forever. Sure, it's pretty useless as soon as you make a joined transaction somewhere else like on a exchange or run it through a mixer, the problem is precisely that you need to run stuff through exchange's hot wallets or mixers to de-attach yourself from that address to stop being traced. This should be done at a protocol level without the user even being aware about it, so newbies can enjoy privacy too without getting an headache about how they move their coins.

What is the best bitcoin slot machine you ever played? I can't find any other than bitcoinvideocasino that's good enough. When you play a long session with progressive wins sometimes it can last like 1 hour, and you end up with an headache because people isn't spending any effort into making their gambling sites look good, so I appreciate the good graphics if you are going to be looking at it for a long period of time. Also please the slot machine must be of 5 slots and not only 3 or 4.

Now you can actually say this with massive confidence. The days of sub $300 a Bitcoin may be gone for life, there's just way too much bull pressure to go that low anymore. We have seen a massive selloff the last hours and it has all been absorbed nicely without even going sub 400's again, not to mention the uptrend is still very strong.

That was pretty funny. The only reason Roger Ver has any relevance on the community is because he got rich as fuck off Bitcoin and bought a lambo. Oh, he also bought Bitcoin.com to shill Bitcoin Classic and hate on core devs.. that's pretty much it. By listening to his interviews, this guy has problems understanding some fundamental stuff about how Bitcoin works. He is completely ignorant when it comes to the tradeoff of nodes getting centralized with some of the blocksize increase roadmaps being proposed all over the place these days among other stuff as we can see on those pics.

Yes it has. Did you go to the link?
No, it hasn't. Do you even know that website works? They just have a lot of transactions of lesser value that have totaled ~1.8 Million. My argument is that bitcoin does indeed have a big lack of privacy due the fungibility problem,
'Big lack'? No. Frangibility is indeed a problem, but not something that I'd call big/huge else that would be the main priority (which it isn't. the fact that smarter people than us that know the protocol better than us like Greg Maxwell agrees with this only further proves my point. But like I said before, they are working to improve it.
"Smarter people than us"? I'd rather that you not put me in the same bag as yourself or the other people that fall under your usage of "us". It would be a very pleasant experience to hack this address..And probably many machines right now trying this..
No. Read the previous posts. Lol dude, gmaxwell is smarter than both us convinced at least when it comes to programing and knows Bitcoin better than us, and he agrees with the fact that Bitcoin has a fungibility problem which is already being addressed with solutions like CoinJoin and Confidential Transactions. Stop thinking Bitcoins privacy is good enough otherwise we would never improve it with that mentality.

Unfortunately I don't think an effective way to do the mixing part exists yet. And honestly I don't really trust mixers, they are centralized, and you are trusting they will not keep logs and handle said logs to 3 letter agencies if they ask for it. It's just not what Bitcoin is, that's why im looking forward to CoinJoin being implemented at a protocol level, then we will have this problem solved for once.
As for vanity addresses, i would avoid using them tbh, they are not privacy friendly, but if you really want to, another person will answer to you because I have never deal with that.

The main problem with gold is:
1) Shit transportation: it's annoying to move gold bars, and it's impossible to not get detected in airports if they are looking to stop gold movements 2) Horrible divisibility: you can't cut gold in your house at the exact amount you want 3) You can't send it worldwide with 100% guarantee that it will arrive to the place you want it to arrive 4) Massive geological impact to mine it, tons of power needed (yes way more than bitcoin) 5) Constant uncertainty about the total supply
There are so many wrong things with gold, I could go on for days

I mean im broke, but if I was rich, I would be annoyed that some people on the internet is speculating about my address moving X amount of BTC. That's now what p2p cash is and it says p2p cash in the whitepaper.
Exactly why would you store a lot of money in a single wallet/address and exactly why would you move out huge amounts of it at once? That is bad practice regardless of whether you're rich or not. We don't have enough privacy, even the likes of Greg Maxwell have stated that we need to improve it..
So your argumentation is, because 'the likes of G. Maxwell' have said it, therefore it has to be true? That is not how this works. My argument is that bitcoin does indeed have a big lack of privacy due the fungibility problem, the fact that smarter people than us that know the protocol better than us like Greg Maxwell agrees with this only further proves my point. But like I said before, they are working to improve it.

It is time to speculate about the next Paquiao fight. I would like to see a great war against Canelo Alvarez!!! September could be a good time to see that fight.
Not really sure but maybe its never gonna happen because pacman already a retired boxer. Pacman will come back because he will get bored of the politician lifestyle. Pacman is a man of action and will want to fight again I have no doubt about that. Now, about a Mayweather vs Pacman 2, I don't think so. Mayweather already made Pacman look like a guy that wasn't able to do much damage to him. It would be a boring fight again for the non real boxing fans, because Mayweather never makes mistakes and doesn't take risks, and peopl want to see action all the time. But for me in the next match of the two bradley vs pacman i think pacman will be win because he is planning to double time his practice while he is in politics.. yeah we know politics is boring but if he just looking for a passive income politics is the one that can give a passive high income.. like any official in politics. Bradley will be down in this 2nd match i hope pacman will be win in this next match.. I think Pacman genuinely cares about his people and wants to improve the Phillipines and wants to become a politician in a legit way and not just be there for the passive income, but I think he will come back from politics and eventually fight again. And Pacman already fought Bradley for the second time and won back in 2014 so I don't know why you say he want's a 2nd match. That's what my feeling also, I think he really wants to serve the people of the philippines sincerely, pacman is already a billionaire so he would not interest much on corruption. And plus factor he is a pastor, he serve God, so I believe a God fearing person will not do anything against the will of God. But I am still optimistic that manny will come back in the ring at the right time to entertain us. A billionaire? Pacman is a multi million dollar man, but there's no way he is a billionaire. Not even Mayweather is a billionaire yet as far as I know, he is still in search for the big b, he is pretty close to get there tho, but Pacman? no way, and he had some problems with the IRS as well, but I don't think that guy cares that much about money at this point.
