I like Wheelz 2015 Genesis coins many like this Darkcoin only had 10 made https://imgur.com/a/gIh8WBY anyone else having a problem with Imgur ? I was going to insert an image but I get this Zoinks! You've taken a wrong turn. Let's split up, gang. If you're looking for an image, it's probably been deleted or may not have existed at all. soooo I made a this quick post link. I also dont see a link to add images to my folder... I wonder if they changed things up Imgur has turned to shit. What really sucks about them is their app. The fact that you cant get the bbcode from the app directly is a joke. Not being able to get the bbcode from the app and they no longer have the web version so you can't do it that way either is just bad business by them. I am now using https://imgbb.com/ and highly recommend it. Makes things a lot easier than Imgur ever did. Thanks ChiBitCTy ! |

This is a pretty cool announcement. Stacks Bowers, a leader in coin collectors' auctions and numismatics in general, has announced that they are excited to auction a Lealana .1 BTC buyer funded black (10 issued). They are probably bending the truth saying this is the first physical bitcoin up for live auction... but hey, it's all good for us holders of these collectibles.
First for them I suppose is what they mean. So here comes our numismatic values I've been waiting on from the auction houses. Some of our rare non funded collectibles should start doing quite well in the coming years. |

I'm personally a fan of the Bitbones and BullsOnTheBlock NFTs. They seem to have hardworking teams behind them that are innovating daily to stay ahead of the pack. Bitbones with their cool development in the Sandbox and BullsOnTheBlock with their DAO and evolutions. Also an honorable mention to Stoner Cats. That's a pretty cool little cartoon and with a team made up of celebrities (Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Chris Rock, Seth Macfarlane, Jane Fonda, & Vitalik) I think it's probably a little safer than most. I should probably also mention I released my own collection on OpenSea.io not too long ago featuring bikini models with some of my coins: https://opensea.io/collection/blockchain-treasureone of them forgot her Bikini  |

I think when you start getting around $100k its just worthy of travel for someone. I would meet them in my bank

People moved to electric cars to save GAS/Patrol spending not to save the environment. Electric cars run on electricity and this electricity is mostly generated by burning fossil fuels.
PoW is power greedy and I don't think it will be replaced by any other consensus algo in the future. A counter argument is that bitcoin power consumption can be justified by using clean energy i.e. generated from water, wind, sun etc.
That's certainly true, mate. There's basically no such thing as "environmentally-friendly". One way or another, fossil fuels are used, harming the environment as we know it. Bitcoin's energy consumption may seem high to many, but it's in fact low when compared to the amount of energy consumed by traditional financial institutions (aka banks). The pioneer cryptocurrency can go green, if miners decide to run their equipment on solar or wind energy. Saying that Bitcoin is harmful to the environment is only a failed attempt to spread FUD from mainstream media, banks, and wealthy people alike. No matter the criticism, Bitcoin will thrive because of its decentralized and censorship-resistant design. I don't think Bitcoin will switch to PoS in the future, because the consensus algorithm is not as secure as PoW is. Nonetheless, it seems to me that PoW ain't going anywhere. High or low energy consumption won't make a difference since it's used to help secure the Blockchain. ASIC mining hardware will certainly improve over time as chips become more energy efficient than ever. As long as Bitcoin remains decentralized and censorship-resistant, nothing else matters. I'd envision a future where most altcoins will switch to PoS, while Bitcoin remains with the classic "Nakamoto Consensus". There are far more important things to focus on besides Bitcoin's energy consumption. Just my thoughts  the argument isn't so much as "where" the energy comes from, its that fact that it uses a great deal for computations. Considering this is still an evolving market and seems that POW has the advantage of being more secure, what happens when exchanges start offering insured accounts up to x amount just like a bank. I believe Coinbase already has some type of account guaranty against unauthorized use. Its interesting of the 10 plus accounts I had the last five years with 50 plus different crypto's I never had an unauthorized transaction. However my Visa card has been compromised no less than five times  Just thinking of the future and how things evolve, I was told BTC could never go to POS which I thought was the way. That is an often misspoken fallacy, PoW is not more secure than PoS, Both are secure or insecure depending on 1 specific condition , the Majority. Many PoW Coins have suffered 51% attacks, Many PoS Coins have suffered 51% attacks. Some PoW coin have never suffered a 51% attack. Some PoS coin have never suffered a 51% attack. The algorithms themselves will not secure a coin, all that secure PoW is the majority of Pooled Hashrate, all that secure PoS is the majority of staking coins. So the good will of the majority is the answer for both. In Bitcoin Case as long as the top 4 pool operators don't collude, bitcoin is safe, but if the top 4 pool operators ever do collude, 51% attack in bitcoin is unstoppable. Kind of makes you wonder why people think bitcoin is so secure, when only 4 guys could totally decimate it in a day. In Cardano Case, they have over 2500 PoS pools, and they limit the max % one pool can dominate by code design. So Cardano PoS has more protection from colluding mining pool operators than Bitcoin PoW. Because the collusion would take a much greater majority of operators than 4 like BTC. FYI: In Bitcoin PoW history , the Majority Rewrote 6 hours of bitcoin blocks in 2013, proving the majority will move the PoW chain however they deem fit. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/bitcoin-network-shaken-by-blockchain-fork-1363144448The economic damage was significant, but fairly small; the only monetary losses that have been reported are the $26,000 USD worth of mining block rewards from the 24 mined blocks of 25 BTC that are now forever lost in the now abandoned chain, as well as a $10,000 double spend against OKPay. A Doublespend has occurred on the Bitcoin PoW network. 
No Doublespends have ever occurred on the Cardano PoS network. From the above, PoW does not seem all that secure.  great answer, security seemed to be the dominating augment for the use of BTC vs any other Alt |

Not the investors I Know they were all part of a green energy movement with less air pollution. A lot of charging station across the country are solar powered. I think Bitcoin creates corresponding value with the energy it consumes, and the situation is far less serious than what the opponents say. Bitcoin will become a powerful force, and the energy used will be more environmentally friendly. The reliable economic incentives of the Bitcoin network will help the economy of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy. Moreover, the consumption of energy is not the same as the release of carbon emissions into the atmosphere, and Bitcoin has very little carbon emissions.
Regardless of the energy source the point is its an unnecessary use of energy. There are cryptos that accomplish the same function with almost no power consumption. |

this mofo chart buddy.
stay focused  click ignore yeh its irritating looks like the Marianas trench Very well put, it's like the junk mail in your inbox, just every hour. Merited. look, Bitcoin is working like this: the majority comes to an agreement for accepting the txs which should be included in the next block, right? same with ChartBuddy: the majority came to the agreement that ChartBuddy (again) is very welcome in this thread, right? please don't open the Pandora's Box again. did you nothing learned from the Hash Block Limit War?  Minorities have rights you know. this thread here is not the only place where you can spend your free time. am I right?  #honomoaccept ChartBuddy or please leave. end of discussion from my side because you have the intelligence to understand it but you are not willing it. just playing around, my two firing neurons were capable of reading the past BTC prices like following a tire trail on the beach too, maybe someone can tell me where BTC will be this evening ? |
