one bitcoin will STILL equal one bitcoin :p

I dunno- there was a big bitcoin conference in switzerland last week same time as the one in florida- only billionaires attended- not a lot of press about it.....makes me wonder.....http://www.trustnodes.com/2018/01/19/billionaires-meet-blockchain-entrepreneurs-switzerland

Thanks for all of your responses everyone- I appreciate it- I just feel it's important to give people as many tools as possible to prepare for the future

Hi everyone,

When is a good age to teach kids about crypto?  Any suggestions on how to go about it?  thanks

It's important because it gives freedom and opportunity to those who don't have access to conventional banks (a ton of people)

Not yet....don't think it counts as "mainstream" until a lot of people start using it-

Does anyone know where the energy comes from for giant mining farms in places such as China and Mongolia? China is planning on opening mining farms in Canada now - at least Canada as cleaner energy (water).  I heard something about btc and energy on NPR radio show science friday recently, and their expert said a bitcoin transaction takes 5000 times more energy to process than one visa transaction.
It definitely  seems to be a problem. I hope people can adopt sustainable methods to mine- seems difficult :/

"What "tracking tokens" is Coinbase selling?
Please don;t start with the whole bitbet drama....that was the wallet not the exchange."

"And the whole thing is a mess that makes no sense.
Coinbase is a platform that is offering services.
Bitcoin is a currency that Coinbase offers services for (purchase and sell)."

"Decentralization does not work when fiat is involved.
And after all, looking back the news from the last decentralized exchange aren't that nice."

Coinbase  tracks where you send bitcoin to and from- if they don't like it they close your account- I'm not talking about sending from darknet sites or anything criminal or nefarious-  I don't know why they do it....but it is control- That does not sit right with me at all. I think they are trying to become like a world bank for crypto. They are up to bad things- watch out

Hi everyone,

I'm just curious what your thoughts are about Coinbase and decentralization.  Coinbase often emphasizes that they love decentralization, but why do they sell tracking tokens instead of bitcoin? I am being serious.
Thanks

That is so awesome!! I had been thinking of doing something similar- thanks for sharing

Second this.....many have lost $$$$$$$ keeping coins on an exchange- don't do that

Coinomi for android has a good selection of alts and is a very reliable wallet- hope to hear other good ones

I regret not holding (was $250 when I got into it) -and I regret not learning the technical aspects sooner- also wish I would have encouraged more people to invest early on :p

Amazon is accepting btc for payment?? WOW!  I did not know that. Just rolling it out in certain markets?  Hmmmmm

I would love to see an updated comprehensive list also -  I tend to use foodler (tacos!!!) and purse.io  -  we need more delivery places that take btc

Great Topic!  I am also very curious.  I am in the usa and I just got a bitpay card.  I haven't set it up yet.  I hope to try it out grocery shopping, paying bills etc.  There is a coinbase one "the shift card" that I decided against trying (I con't like coinbase).  Apparently I can't get xapo being in the usa but would to try some others.  I'll check back after I use the bitpay one.
