^This.
The banks can't restrict what you're allowed to buy with your money (be it credit card, debit card, your own deposit(s), or any funds at your disposal).
They CAN sell dedicated products like mortgages, but it's explicitly defined and the clients know the purpose of the loan.
I've just checked the terms for CC in my local bank, and there's nothing about what product(s) and/or service(s) that can be purchased. It defines general operations that can be peerformed with the card: ATM withdrawal, POS payment, transfer from CC account.

it amounts to a partial blockade IMO.

I've been in touch with hyperbit guys and for those who bought from December batch there's an actual hardware problem.

They found a defect with MOSFET in power distribution board and are trying to get new boards to ship to buyers.

Also, the new firmware should improve the global hashrate by having fewer rejected shares and better memory management blablabla.
The new firmware should also bring fan control so it's no longer running full speed.

Please keep us updated periodically and thank you!

Customers using credit cards on Coinbase: the following card issuers are now blocking purchases of digital currency with credit cards.

Chase
Bank of America
Citi
Capital One

We're encouraging affected customers to switch to debit card or bank account payment methods.

Some see this as bad news but on the contrary it's good you shouldn't be using credit cards to buy crypto if you do not have the money then you shouldn't be taking the risks

I'd leave the decision what to do with funds on credit cards to their owners.
Otherwise we can end up with banks deciding what we're allowed to buy with CCs as a first step, and then they will likely go further.
Hey wait, it's actually happening now  Grin

You may have possession of a credit card but all funds are strictly in ownership of the banks borrowing money on a credit card is no different that taking out a loan

What about some poor fool that got a CC with a nice 10k credit limit and bought a few BCH at $3K expecting it to double quickly only for it to now be worth $2500 and unable to afford the repayments

They are not saying you cannot use a Debit Card where you own the funds in your account just Credit Cards where the bank is loaning you their money big difference



Well, I'd expect a restriction on CC terms specifting explicitly what is not allowed to buy with your CC. If there's none, then the bank just gives you high rate loan without asking what you're going to do with the money. They determine upfront if you're able to repay the debt, and that's it. Applying a restriction looks like a change in the terms of your CC agreement.

If you have to use a Credit Card to purchase Bitcoin, you should not be purchasing Bitcoin. This is a NON-event.


This is people hard earn money, they basically takes too much risk, borrowing loans to gamble. Basic investing is invest as much as you can afford to lose.

No.  it is like getting a draft from your own account payable tbd and then being told you cannot buy a house as they will not clear the check if it is made payable to a local realtor but anything else you like to buy with it is okay.  

     This is tyrannical.  And standard procedure for tyrannical leaders is to blame the victim.  So it makes perfect sense that they blame the possible behavior of the end user of the financial product/ service for the ban!  You can be sure the victim blame is the surest tool of the tyrant!  


  

No one can tell me that less payment options is in anyway a good thing.  So less options and access are good?  Thats funny because freedom of money is actually measured in the nations using the exact opposite metrics.

you subscribe to the very popular and very false narrative of how money works in modern society.  And now you parrot the party line from their outpost the enemy has built inside your own brain.  Nice to meet you modern man*!  

newsflash: the loan you think you are getting whether large or small is not actually a loan.  further the contract you are mentioning is one-sided and domestically unenforceable.  Maybe that impulse control you think we need the banks to exercise for us should be exercised by them first??  I mean they are the only industry that is allowed by congress to provide their own in-house oversight AND policy!  What could go wrong right tek/

I am just going to guess you are not unbanked


I don't know about where you are from but usually to own a credit card a requirement is that you have to have a bank account





yes the unbanked are living now inside a perfectly designed prison within modern society that is undetectable at most altitudes, 100% agree..   nice of you to notice we even do not have the credit card access to buy with!!!..

leaves no doubt that BCT is the villan, and BCH was never at the scene of the crime, ... but comes in as the white knight in shining armor, and saves digital cash.

There's always a silver lining!!

BCH the true bitcoin, soared in the 4th quarter of 2017, as investors took note of the faster transaction speed and low fees.

Not only that, its surprise listing on Coinbase's GDAX exchange in December boosted its appeal, while cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx implemented bitcoin cash as its default currency in January.

...

All the coins are dropping hard last month. It is really difficult to find any coin that is green.
you will notice all through recorded history the "Wall street" type places are always located on a street.  just sayin'..

314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SMLY- smileycoin - for rewards in education on: February 03, 2018, 12:57:11 AM
Remember this?
You all know that 45% of the coinbase (new coins generated in each block) goes to Education in a Suitcase (EIAS).
...if the price of SMLY goes up a bit then it is logical for EIAS to sell some of the donations.
...EIAS to submit multiple sell offers (set ask price) in a range around a target.
...The sales will be used to fund operations in Kenya and possibly also some development work
...select a price or price range where it is considered appropriate for EIAS to sell some of the funds.

We've tended to think prices in Sats since the markets are all in crypto, but that has its problems: The price this last fall went up in USD but down in Sats.

So maybe we should also consider selling directly for an acceptable price in fiat? It seems there is considerable interest from buyers who want to support the EIAS project by buying SMLY, but they don't normally work the markets. If we can find supporters who want to buy&hold SMLY, maybe we should figure out a way to sell directly for fiat?

Comments are still welcome.


I will recommend putting the entire project as a color coin on bch.  It solves all of your difficulties while preserving all your progress and positioning you to capitalize further along some direction. https://medium.com/@g.andrew.stone/bitcoin-scripting-applications-representative-tokens-ece42de81285

Make up your own thoughts on this one and cheap fees here:

http://theantimedia.org/paypal-ebay-bitcoin-cryptocurrencies/

this is an example of paypal loosing the fight with satoshis' bitcoin IMO

now someone needs to tell ebay about the fees.  


btw I think the usgov can do the same thing with the private credit house (the fed res)..  just one day up and say hey we are going to value other currencies directly from now on like the users have begun doing anyway.

..a locally accepted, extra jurisdictional issue would balance the ability of the legislative branch from influencing the remedy to the people..

Reddit /r/Bitcoin is in high gear trying to censor the article and is coercing the writer to change that paragraph to something that conforms with their Comintern Information Bureau, as expected.

It's the only place in the world that people work 24/7 to rewrite history to conform to their alternate reality, rather than just accepting the cold hard facts: They broke Bitcoin, so it moved on without them. I don't care what you call it, BCH baby.

LOL at BlueMatt sucking up to the SEC, what a penis.

Finally, yes, the day of reckoning for Tether is here. I predict they will print a few more runs of $200 million before it dies in a fire.
alleged response from nist found on reddit:

From: dylan.yaga@nist.gov

Thank you for your comments. You, along with many others, expressed concern on section 8.1.2. To help foster a full transparency approach on the editing of this section, I am sending the revised section to you for further comment.

8.1.2 Bitcoin Cash (BCH or BCC1) In 2017, Bitcoin users adopted an improvement proposal for Segregated Witness (known as SegWit, where transactions are split into two segments: transactional data, and signature data) through a soft fork. SegWit made it possible to store transactional data in a more efficient form. However, a group of users had different opinions on how Bitcoin should evolve – and developed a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain titled Bitcoin Cash. Rather than implementing the SegWit changes, the developers of Bitcoin Cash decided to increase the maximum blocksize (additionally the developers made changes to other aspects of the system, such as the difficulty adjustment algorithm). When the hard fork occurred, people had access to the same amount of coins on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

1The ticker used for Bitcoin Cash differs depending on the exchange; some use BCH, some BCC

Technically, Bitcoin is a fork and Bitcoin Cash is the original blockchain
