Hello Lauda,
Good day!
Good thing I found this thread and I'll lock my previous thread related to this.
Anyway, I would like to seek for your help if my suspicion is correct as this is my first time to notice this.
Around this morning (1-1:30 forum time), 7 accounts posted their interest to participate in signature to one of bounty campaigns (CarTaxi). All were posted in consecutive time. Please notice that all accounts are Jr. Member.
....
.....
Its obviously. -Registration Date -all Indonesian -all accounts posting at the same days Yes, this is what I thought as well. However, i don't want to give negative rating as those usernames may hit me back and spam negative trust on my account. So it's better to approach someone who's higher than me first before I do any actions. it looks only slightly suspicious, and there's no definitive evidence that these accounts can be connected to the same person. this, by itself, shows absolutely nothing, and it could just be a coincidence. if you could connect these addresses as belonging to the same wallet however, that'd be a completely different case. try running those addresses through an analyzing tool online to see if there's any links, I don't know of a service that does this for ethereum addresses, but one does exist for bitcoin addresses. worth a try if you can find it. could be an account farmer, but with only what you posted, there isn't enough solid evidence. |

But I afraid that someone will take avantage of Bitcoin to do some bad thing such as money laundering
Why would you even care about that? Fiat too is used for money laundering, drug sales, weapon sales, etc -> do you hear anyone about that? Nope. In the same way, people shouldn't mind it with Bitcoin. Whether it's a car, a piece of art, Gold, Bitcoin, etc, everything with value can be used for whatever shady purposes - never blame the tool. confirmation bias is strong in this forum. If that happens, we are not going to see any more threads containing "is bitcoin dead or going to die?"
no, you'll always see those threads. either by fudsters who keep at their attempts to drive the price down for their own gains, or by those who are actually clueless and panic every time the price of bitcoin drops a few dollars. it's a never ending cycle; you'll get used to it after a while. that aside, i dont see how amazon starting to accept bitcoin is that big of a leap, newegg started accepting bitcoin a long time ago, nothing changed. i dont see anything significant happening off of this either, were it to happen. There are news about accepting bitcoin as a payment at Amazon. Here is the link to cointelegraph article. If this would be true we will get huge pump of the whole cryptocurrency market at October/November. What do you think about it? Just one more rumor? If these news are true it will be new era for bitcoin. Many big stores will follow amazon and bitcoin price will be to the moon. Unfortunately i don't it can be true in near future. like i said above, i dont see how just amazon starting to accept bitcoin would launch it towards becoming mainstream. sure, its a big step, and a sizeable landmark towards it becoming mainstream, but it's not as if amazon is the defining factor. |

It doesn't really make sense to me why they would want to ban ICOs or bitcoin exchanges. I mean it has nothing to do with its upcoming party convention whatsoever. I feel like this is probably going to be an indefinite ban. However, if it was temporary, and when it is lifted, then price will defintiely go straight up. There is no doubt about it. People are already extremely bullish now, they'll even be more bullish when that happens. i would like to hope that it's an interim ban until the regime can figure out its definitive stance on bitcoin and how exactly to regulate cryptocurrency related items in order to provide an safe environment for its users. however, knowing china, that's probably the less likely of the possibilities. as for banning ico's, i think that's because the chinese government doesn't exactly like the idea of a decentralized project that they have near zero control over. i have doubts as to weather or not the price would go up in the case the ban would be lifted though, it might be lifted with harsh restrictions that might as well be worse than a ban. honestly wouldnt put it past the chinese government to do such a thing. |

It will be awesome and a next big step for all cryptoworld. Many huge companies can follow Amazon's example.
Some huge companies that are already accpeting bitcoin like Microsoft. Besides its probably a fake news to create a pump bitcoin wont even handle the transactions again if amazon decides to use it. there's no reason for these companies not to, at the time, there's no law forbidding the use of bitcoin, and it only serves to profit them. more payment options just means more people able to pay, and they know bitcoin fanatics will just buy something for the sake of buying something off amazon or wherever with bitcoin. it's a move that only makes sense and furthers their own interests (money). That's been in there companies meeting agendas for more than a year. So no this isn't a surprised and of course we believe it. All you have to do is the proper amount of research to know what's going on with companies like this. It is public information and it is not hard to get. Big company like Amazon is bound to support Bitcoin for their sales or else they will lose the customers with bitcoins .
i'd disagree, bitcoin or not, i dont think amazon would stand to lose customers if the proposition was denied; they're a well established company serving the interests of millions of people, and if the bitcoin integration proposition is denied, nothing changes. it's not as if theyve taken anything away. however, implementing it does have the potential to attract a larger audience, and that would translate into more income for the company and its stockholders, it's a win - win and they've only to gain from doing so. |

It is anonymous. That is the main reason for it to become so popular.
that's one part of it, but i think it has more to do with how easily accessible and quick it can be. with bitcoin gambling, all you need to do is create an account on the site,and send coins. wait for however long confirmations they require, and you're set to start playing. compare that to a real life casino, which requires to go to the physical location, which might just be all the deterrent needed for a person. even with regulated online casinos that play with fiat money, there are usually checks set in place that require one to verify their identity with documents in order to prove that they are of the legal age to gamble. a bitcoin casino eliminates all that hassle, and one can begin playing in a matter of minutes. in today's world, convenience is one of the largest selling points, and i think bitcoin casinos, intended or not, capitalize off of that immensely. |

I think trading is 100times better than gambling.Trading depends on skills and strategy but gambling depends on just only luck.Also trading can give you good profit and short time.OTOH,Gambling can make you empty hand within a day.Gambling is the most risky way of earning bitcoin.Because the house always gets more advantage than you.So I think trading is more safer than gambling.
But trading will not be better than gambling if you've tried it but still have no skills. So I think trading and gambling, whatever is better depends on each person. Logically trading is better because it depends more on skill while gambling is more dependent on luck, but it will be different for everyone. i dont really think trading really requires any sort of special skill, all you really need is the willingness to do your research on the market and the willingness to put in the effort. if you want to succeed, youd also have to be able to see some general market trends and make predictions, but that too, can be acquired with research and experience. success of course, isnt guaranteed. Although we use our best analysis and strategy, but in fact it never guarantees we get the profit by the time trading, and this is proof that in the trading is same with speculation so that the chance of a profit and loss statement is also the same.
It's doesn't matter if you will use the best analysis and strategy as it is both useful for trading and gambling. Traders will be traders and gamblers will be gamblers there's no comparison that should be done for these two activities. We know that profit in trading can be great and as well as in gambling so if you are doing both and you are a very lucky guy then it's up to you on what you will prioritize. analysis doesn't really have much place in gambling except in poker and maybe blackjack. each play should be treated as its own separate case, with the assumption that randomness holds true. you can't analyze that or formulate any strategy. |

Bitcoin as a course or any related currency on web.
In my country we have multiple courses in computer especially programing and web developments. My course is also information technology, but i've never heard or learn about online currency as bitcoin. In present, and future studies is there any chances for inserting about it in education. In your country is it available?
It would be better for any country to adopt bitcoin in educating new generations. Instead of playing games and wasting money in surfing xxx sites.
Bitcoin is a one source of income in college student not even in financial it enhance the knowlegde of everyone in information techonology in currency or how to solve the problem to become smarter in money. I believe that bitcoin is good source of information techonology in computer money even socialiizing the whole world. I agree with this. If any student want to brighter in life, want to get off proverty , then i would llike to suggest try bitcoin instead wasting money through playing online games and surfing pornography sites. Bitcoin can be used in their daily living, students get to know how does it works and how to earn of this.Because it is the one of the best way to get extra income to survive in college. yes as being in a college life on this stage it is hard to survive especially if you dont have any source of income you can get with so fo me i agree with that instead of surfing on a site that you can never gain money unless you spend more money of that some student must know this forum. This forum is not the only way of making money to sustain or help themselves to survive in college because they can try trading also which is a very profitable way and if they don't have any idea about trading then i can say that it is very simple to learn because a lot of tutorials and other informative stuffs are now in the internet. true, and i hate how people equate the forum to bitcoin and bitcoin to earning money or a source of income nowadays, but the forum is probably one of the most interesting things i've seen. where else are you going to get paid a nice sum of money for posting your own thoughts? of course, there's pr / shill campaigns that pay you to shill for their cause, but where's the point in that? i think students, in the academic environment, benefit greatly from posting on this forum, assuming theyre not pumping out shitposts and actually posting their thoughts. there's nothing better than internal discourse for developing thoughts and positions, and perhaps, some of these students might be the pioneers in in helping bitcoin go mainstream. |

Coinhive ( https://coinhive.com) makes it really easy to integrate mining into your webpage, without notifying the user. The anonymous nature of Monero makes this even more attractive for website owners or people who gained access to the source code of a website in a malicious way. I fear that we will see a ton of similar incidents in the future. I've never seen that site before. The idea of using crypto mining as a captcha is...interesting. I've certainly never seen it before. I wonder if we'll start to see this kind of stuff elsewhere. as long as it's profitable someone's going to do it. i remember the csgo league ESEA scandal that happened a while back; one of the devs implemented a gpu miner into their client and made a huge botnet that mined bitcoins for him. this was, of course, way back when gpu mining was still semi profitable, cant remember exactly when it was though, a simple google search will tell you everything youd want to know if youre interested in looking that up. either way, these two incidents are quite similar, and with cryptocurrencies slowly gaining traction and gaining a wider userbase, id imagine we could expect to see more instances of this happening, especially with a service to implement this on a website readily available. weather or not it becomes an accepted thing is an entirely different matter however. id imagine most users wouldnt like this very much. |

any plans on doing regular updates on how it's going on a bimonthly / monthly basis?

I donot understand what are going to on bitcoin?Bitcoin dumping and dumping  .Now bitcoin under 3600$ i think in this week its going to under 3000$.China can destroy bitcoin or ended this month.What your predict ? problem is market china has banned. i dont know that all will be make destroying bitcoin or make be worse. with considering china are big of holder of bitcoin which 50% total bitcoins. that is may possibly fall hit 3000$. Possibly they are trying to control the price of bitcoins to get control over it because till now bitcoins are the most secured and exponentially growing cryptos in the market. I think this dumping period will be lasting for the whole month but the price of bit coin will not fall to destruction or its end. Yes you are absolutely right. They are only focusing on just drowning the price chart but I think they are big fools. Excluding China there are hundreds and thousands of users so how could they even think of it. Still, you are right that prices will stay or move around this figure as now but they wouldn’t be going below $3000 no matter in any condition. You can see the price started again to climb to $5000 china doesn't control all of bitcoin, they're not capable of doing such thing, if they think they can, I can say that they're plain stupid to do that, china government isnt that fool to try control something they're not capable of since bitconi is decentralized and see now. all is fine, even the regulation in china making bad situation back then. that's not to say that they dont have any influence, they demonstrated that a month ago when they dropped the news that exchanges / ico's could be banned. and we saw the results; the price of bitcoin tanked soon after, and continued to fall nearly to the 3000 mark, down from the 4900 usd range. sure, theyre not capable of destroying bitcoin, and i dont think any single entity is, but they sure do command a fair amount of influence, like it or not. there will be nothing these type of happening. Bitcoin will not die or destroy in this month or this year. Bitcoin will last for a long time. it will be a global currency very soon. Bitcoin will be the most profitable business and market system in the future. at everywhere people will be involved in this platform. day by day Bitcoin it going to that way...
This anxiety is always present in every hardfork process, the schedule will continue in mid-October and bitcoin potentially lose value when upgrading the system, this will make the market turbulent because the user has a 50:50 possibility to get bitcoinGold or even lose it all in a short time the price may drop initially, but keep in mind these forks do improve bitcoin bit by bit. in the long run, or even just a month after the fork happens and all the infighting settles down within the community, the price could spike as people see how the improvements better bitcoin. |

This maybe those people who really sick of money, they sell their coins because they panic because of those speculations around which is so bad because many people really panic selling their coins. I hope this will last now and we need to pursue more about more increasing and believe more to that. All those dumpers will realize in near future that they made the mistake in dumping the bitcoins at this point of time.
10+ threads just on here pop up spreading fud about how bitcoin is for sure dead this time every time the price drops by a penny, it's really unbelievable how these fudsters manage to keep this up every damn time. it's not like they panic every time microsoft's stock drops by a dollar every time. people can't seem to understand that fluctuations do happen, and they will continue to happen as long as bitcoin exists. they will never learn from instances like what's been happening with the news in china in relation to bitcoin's price over the past month; we saw a 25% drop in under a 48 hour period, and we've already recovered and stabilized around the 4200 usd mark. i don't know about many other currencies or stocks that could ever hope to pull a feat like that off. bitcoin is pretty solid, and it's going to stay that way for a while. |

Bitcoin doesn't even react to such a news. It is really strong crypto.
wrong. it has in the past and it will continue to do so as long as people are a factor, which they will forever be. people react to news, they panic, spread fud, and dump their coins. we saw a very extreme case of that happening when china announced a ban on ico's, something like a 25% drop in under 48 hours. no matter how long it's been around, it all depends on the users. "South Korea bans all new cryptocurrency sales South Korea's financial regulator on Friday said it will ban raising money through all forms of virtual currencies, a move that follows similar restrictions in China on initial coin offerings. The Financial Services Commission said all kinds of initial coin offerings (ICO) will be banned as trading of virtual currencies needs to be tightly controlled and monitored. "Raising funds through ICOs seem to be on the rise globally, and our assessment is that ICOs are increasing in South Korea as well," the regulator said in a statement after a meeting with the finance ministry, the Bank of Korea and the National Tax Service. "Stern penalties" will be issued on financial institutions and any parties involved in issuing of ICOs, the statement added, without elaborating further on the details of those penalties. The decision to ban ICOs as a fundraising tool was made as the government sees such issues as increasing the risk of financial scams. The decision tracks similar announcements in the U.S. and China where increasing trading volumes of cryptocurrencies are sparking concerns. It added Friday's announcement doesn't mean the government has implicitly accepted trading of virtual currencies as part of its financial system, and will continue to monitor markets to see additional regulations are needed". https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/28/south-korea-bans-all-new-cryptocurrency-sales.htmlThis is sad day, really sad day South Korea was becoming a big market for Bitcoins and this is indeed a big setback, I hope they consider their decision or the Bitcoin prices shall tank. I don't really understand why are they he'll bent on destroying bitcoins, wonder how long will it last, I wish some Korea person reports to us, how bad the situation actually is, and is there any chance they will reverse it. if anything, its more than likely a ban set in place until the administration can figure out better rules and regulations to set into place so that business in cryptocurrencies can be safer for the individuals involved in the future. korea is generally receptive to technological advancements and innovations, i don't really see the ban being permanent. i might be wrong, of course, but we'll see how it turns out over the course of the next few months. |

you will only cry when you rely on gambling as a way to earn money. gambling is not the right choice especially when you are in need of money in a fast time. it will only make you more disappointed and depressed because of losing money. gambling game risk is very high, if you have to choose then better do not do it. gambling is just a way to make fun. a pleasure that I think can be enjoyed when we have no pressure. and pressure will not exist when we consider gambling as an entertainment only.
If anyone really wants to end up with quite a big amount in his pocket then investment is the best way to go for. Gambling is not a way at all to earn money because if you are not lucky enough to win the game then there is no use for getting into gamble. Moreover, it is quite a risky game and in contrast to this, investment is a more reliable way. Treating gambling as a type of investment is just a inappropriate perception. Gambling never falls into the category of investments, even it will fall, due to its risk levels, we must avoid treating as an investment opportunity. a big amount in a few years maybe. investments usually appreciate very slowly, but the trade off here is that with an investment, you can expect your investment to appreciate, unlike with gambling. on the other hand, gambling can net you quite a sum, but as with investing, there is a tradeoff. you can lose. everything. you've got the logic in your post completely backwards. however, your last statement is fully valid, gambling / rolling the dice cannot be compared to an investment. If i need some quick money to earn i will go with gambling but i know that there is a risk but i think i can minimize it by playing with low bankroll or with high bankroll but i will only play with few minutes. But if i want a low risk of losing i will do investing on different coins that has a good market value or which i think will be a good assets to me in the future.

That is a harsh reality. Some people are trying to earn money via gambling. They are just wasting their precious time and mostly they end up losing all the wealth in the greed of hitting a jackpot. It is never ever going to happen that all the gamblers become rich overnight without doing any real work rather they lose what they have in their pockets in order to become rich overnight. if you're making a living off gambling and you're just rolling for a jackpot, you're doing something incredibly wrong. there are a handful of people making their income through gambling, namely poker players. but poler is a completely different game from conventional gambling, and can't really be compared. imo, there's no such thing as making a living off gambling outside of poker. it's just too risky and uncertain. |

I'm sure bitcoin will survive up to 100 years, this is because bitcoin users continue to increase and many big companies continue to support bitcoin. In addition, some countries have officially legalized bitcoin so that the guarantee can last up to 100 years.
even if it does die out, I've zero doubt that some die hard supporters will manage to keep the network alive indefinitely. well.. for sure we wont  bitcoin, the idea will survive I agree with this wholeheartedly. bitcoin is an experiment, a new idea you revolutionize finance. even if bitcoin itself isn't the mainstream currency in the centuries to come, I've full faith a different, superior cryptocurrency will. we keep going through these altcoins that gain more and more traction with each iteration, because they continually seek to create something that overcomes the shortfalls of bitcoin. even now, the current bitcoin isn't the same as when it originally released, numerous forks have occurred to slowly improve its deficiencies. |

it is not bitcoin that they are banning but ICO's. This will affect the ethereum market and waves but it will not affect bitcoin. But the present threat to bitcoins price deflation is the possible banning of Bitcoin in Russia. The law is not yet out but they said the decision will be out on October whether they will ban bitcoin or not.
It's not even clear how large of an effect this will have on Ethereum. Apparently, the ban is just on domestic ICOs, and enforcement only affects Korean institutions. At this point, it doesn't seem like foreign ICOs (i.e. the vast majority of ICOs) are affected, and it seems that Koreans are still allowed to invest. We'll need to wait and see what the regulations looks like when they are actually issued. For now, we can only speculate. But I've seen several opinions from Koreans now that say Westerners are blowing the news out of proportion. with how rampant scams seem to be with fake startups and ico's, I think the point of regulation is to keep the potential investors safe. they're creating an environment more friendly to newcomers and providing some sense of security for them. I really can't see these moves towards regulating ico's as bad, in the long run, I think it'll be a positive influence on crytocurrencies. I think it is good that icos get regulated (and I really hope South Korea regulates ICO´s and don´t permanently ban it) To much ICO´s are just scams now, from the view of a bad person it could be a Ponzi without payouts. (People invest ETH (has value) and get some tokens in exchange which will be worth nothing if there are no actual devs) Best thing is this PreICO stuff, basically, an ICO to finance the ads of the main ICO  the South Korean government is pretty receptive of technologies, I doubt they'll outright ban them without a very, very good reason. |

that possibility may exist. but I think for now it is very difficult, because however bitcoin is the first digital currency available so it is difficult to remove bitcoin from circulation.
it definitely exists, even now we see people trying to come up with alternatives to overcome the deficiencies that bitcoin demonstrates. ethereum was, iirc, the latest big attempt, and it's gained a fair bit of traction with all of the features that people find better than the ones bitcoin offers. who knows, if ethereum came sooner, we might be seeing an entirely different cryptocurrency community today. i guess it is more likely for bitcoin to phase itself out because of internal politics than a new better coin to come up
forks and disagreements within the community will always be present, but the majority will always win, it's how it was intended in the beginning, and it's working beautifully. |

Maybe for banks, it is not possible to ban the Bitcoin because already Blockchain tech is implemented in many big organization. An Even big country like the US till now they did not announce about banning the Bitcoin and but they want to regulate the ICO conducting procedure.
big organizations aren't what make bitcoin so durable, it's the many individual users that have adopted it and support its growth. with bitcoin, the power doesn't all go to the few big players, although they may control a sizeable influence, a decentralized network such as the one bitcoin is based on allows more pull on the side of the many. we run the nodes, we run a fair portion of the mining network power, and we use most of the transactions. as for regulating ico's, I think it's a good move overall; these projects involve millions in crowd funding, that alone, I think, necessitates regulation. not to mention the scams. |

Now Korea seems following pathways of chinese government sooner or later all government will try to have deep control over bitcoin exchanges and they will put all their efforts to track each and every bitcoin transactions but all of their effort will go to vein.
This will increase interest over decentralized trading platform and P2P marketplaces like localbitcoins. In short term this can have negative effect on price.
i think the exact opposite; korea has historically, been receptive to technologies and innovation. my thought is, they're having exchanges examined in order to ensure safety and security for the users, and make sure the exchanges are doing exactly what is advertised without any illegal / shady business going on behind the scenes. that being said, i think overall, this is a big step in the right direction, and will probably increase both bitcoin's price and korea's influence in the cryptocurrency scene. hopefully, we might see a cryptocurrency community based in korea that is relatively scam - free and an envoronment in which bitcoin can expand with newcomers feeling comfortable and reassured that they won't be scammed or stolen from. |

Gambling and pofit in the same sentence is something you dont here everyday but certain games allow you to make some money like poker, but when its you against the house that should be for fun because it never ends well as the house always wins.
that's a shitty mindset to go in with in my opinion. if you're playing for fun, you're playing with the idea that, in the end, you don't care that you lose your money. even if i do lose, i can let it go, of course, but im not playing like i have no regard for the money i put into the game. edge or not, ill try to win out to the best of my ability, and if i lose, oh well. the point stands, however; edge or not, you've got a chance to multiply the money you came in with, and a fairly good chance at that. think of the edge as the houses' fee for hosting the game, and just play. Making some profit is hard in the long run, but even if you want to get something from gambling, the first thing you must do is to have a proper bankroll management. I saw a lot of people lose all of their money because of sudden impulse to go all in, never do that if you want to make gambling profitable. bankroll management does nothing for you in the long run given the house edge. the more rolls you play, the bigger potential effect the house edge can have on your rolls overall. if anything, just a simple 2x roll all in might give you your simplest ad most effective way of doubling your deposit. |

really ? you think how many times china banned bitcoin in the past ? why people keep fall with same trap  just let them to what they fear of they dont know the history, they dont take a time to read what happens before in bitcoin. that is why they are all scared about the price fall of bitcoin. I don’t even know why anyone should be worried about China banning bitcoin. It’s just a one country out of many, so we can still achieve a lot without them. I don’t need to say it twice, cause you’re already seeing the return of the bitcoin price to a high value. one country or not, they hold an immense amount of geopolitical and financial influence. you know why sanctions on china don't work too well? because in the end, you need to buy goods from china anyways. they hold an almost critical role in exporting a great deal of the world's manufactured goods, and that can't simply be ignored. weather you like it or not, they have pretty good global influence, and may be able to influence countries dependent on trade with china to follow suit in policies on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. that being said, although china and their choices can't be ignored outright, i have full faith bitcoin can do fine without china. it's decentralized after all, and the rest of the world should be able to pull through whatever china decides to do as far as bitcoin and cryptocurrencies goes. |
