I don't get it. Why do we have to study bitcoin just to get a certificate? And does that certificate of being professional will give you income? It is just a piece of paper.
What makes sense here is that, you study because you are willing to learn and being a professional in this field means you are gaining and winning and you know meaningful things about bitcoin. Experiences makes you a certified bitcoin professional.

In fact, there is nothing here to you should understand. There is no platform that can give to us or anyone any certificate.

But it is not enough only get experience. We all have to learn how system is working. What is mining? Why we have a scalability problem in here? Why are they create so many project and cryptocurrencies. Which one is real or not real.

There are a lot of thing to learn. Just want it. Don't believe anyone which tell you anything. There is no person who we called Bitcoin expertise.
4082  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional? on: March 21, 2019, 08:34:27 AM
I didn't quite understand. By which authority can they issue such a certificate? Who does this Bitcoin Professional give to the class? It's kind of silly to me ...

Merits for good questions.

Perhaps Satoshi will be there to be able to address the certificate to them.  Grin
I may want to buy a ticket to attend the ceremony.

Please do post the information to when the certificate will be given so that I could see my idol for the first time in my life and maybe the last too.  Wink


Actually, the question is not important. I'm angry with these people because they're trying to fool people. Usually newbies do this kind of training, groups, etc. they believe that they can make money by the way.
4083  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional? on: March 20, 2019, 01:13:31 PM
What you're writing makes sense but the way to get crypto work will be by coming up with cool stuff from the things you've learnt along the way. It's free and accessible to all.

The type of people who know enough to employ you will be just as sceptical and mystified as us lot if you showed them your wee certificate.

If that $150-200 or whatever isn't a lot of money to you then go for it and do it for yourself. If the cost is going to make your life harder than it needs to be then I'd think again. Other than your own satisfaction and pleasure I don't think it'll make any difference for your actual prospects.

There will be free courses from more reputable places. There's one put together by the University of California, Berkeley - https://www.edx.org/course/bitcoin-and-cryptocurrencies  that's free but charges if you want some form of certification.

Several top places offer courses here - https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=bitcoin

If I were you I'd give it a few days or weeks of sucking up quality resources that are free and then have a think. This is one of many good places to kick off with - https://lopp.net/bitcoin.html

Wow, that is very interesting. Thank you, @gentlemand!


Now if someone is interested in forming a study group, I'm still all ears!


I can't understand also these ones. You are thinking if you create a group and get people together (mostly all of them has under 0,05 BTC) then you can make a difference. But you can't realize everyone in that group only thinks profit and know nothing. Please just use this forum and ask some question, learn in here and I assure you that you will be ready for everything soon. Don't forget, first message about Bitcoin has created in this forum by Satoshi Nakamoto. This forum has a historical experiment already. You should only want to learn.
4084  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Avoid losing money with bitcoins on: March 20, 2019, 08:06:13 AM
Hi

I am wondering if there is some sort of site where you can exchange your bitcoins easily to real money or idk what and transfer back so you can avoid if btc drops.

Thanks

Obviously, what you're talking about is all about the purpose of stablecoins. But of course it is not a FIAT, but a USD-backed crypto return.
4085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional? on: March 20, 2019, 08:02:27 AM
- I'm relatively new to crypto, I want to / still have to learn a lot

It is OK that you are newbie. I am sure you can learn anything here if you really want.

- I see a study group, a wing man, a buddy, call it what you want, as highly and mutually beneficial: learning something new in a (small) group goes a lot faster

They are mostly scammers. Watch out! It maybe dangerous.

- I also want to work in crypto eventually and this will help me "sell myself": a certification by a 'consortium' is better than no certificate at all; it will look good on my CV

As I said before, there is no platform that you can give you a certificate. Bitcoin and most of cryptocurrencies are decentralized. So there will be no cerfiticate thing ever officialy.

- I don't intend to stop here, I intend to get more certificates (Andreas is working with the university of Nicosia, he retweeted something about a course today)

I hope you won't but you possibly will be regret with this decision. Sooner or later someone will fool you. They will take your money and give nothing to you. I assure you that you can learn anything here!!! Just ask it and expert will answer to you. This forum full of helpfull people.
4086  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Is Up a Staggering 3% But Can The Rally Continue? on: March 19, 2019, 08:43:27 AM
Bitcoin has challenged and surpassed the $4 000 level it has been haggling with recently, escalating the currency up 3% against the U.S. dollar. On the tail of Bitcoin’s bull run other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash recorded gains in the range of 6 to 18%. Using the momentum of Bitcoin as its strength, the valuation of the crypto market saw a peak of $10 billion in the past week.

Carry on reading here : https://www.cryptofish.com/blog/bitcoin-is-up-a-staggering-3/


Bitcoin continues its big cycle. When we examine the previous cycles, we see that the average process is 1.7 years. But we have only four cycles to catch this average. Therefore, it may not be reliable. However, when we look at the average value, we can see the price rise gradually until the end of the year.

But the situation for altcoins is more sensitive than ever. Any move that Bitcoin can do in any direction can affect the altcoins.
4087  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: What can I do to make it more transparent? on: March 19, 2019, 08:39:16 AM
There are a few ways.

1- You should make the entry into the market completely cash-free and without using a bank account.
2- You can use a set of coins that are confidential. For example, DASH is one of them.
3- There are a number of applications. They give your krypton back to you in different ways, and make the follow-up impossible. You can find it with names like Mixer or Blender.

4089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Growth of bitcoin with respect to Blockchain on: March 18, 2019, 11:59:17 AM
Bitcoin has grown so much over the years and so has the Blockchain and it's use. Today Blockchain has so many use cases such as banking, real estate, network solutions, healthcare etc...
But with the growing development of the Blockchain, bitcoin is still lacking behind with the adoption. The adoption rate has been increased over the time but is still less than expected.
This shows that the people/industries trust more on blockchain and less on bitcoin. Don't you guys think if it keeps going on like this then bitcoin won't make it big in the future.
What can we do, that will make bitcoin to grow as much as the blockchain has grown over the time?

This is completely normal. There's no Bitcoin without Blockchain. But the opposite is possible. So Blockchain is technically a bigger piece than Bitcoin. There are a number of things that make Bitcoin special and will become more understandable and usable over time. It's just a matter of time ...
4090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best Bitcoin Documentaries on: March 18, 2019, 11:53:56 AM
I found a great resource online for those who are looking for a film to watch on the subject of Bitcoin. There are actually many feature films and documentaries you can watch to get up to speed on the history of benefits of this new type of money.

The Official Bitcoin Documentary List - https://www.smartbitcoininvestments.com/bitcoin-documentary-list

1. The Rise And Rise Of Bitcoin
2. Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It
3. Banking On Bitcoin
4. The Bitcoin Gospel
5. The Bitcoin Experiment
6. Magic Money
7. The Bitcoin Story
8. The Bitcoin Phenomenon
9. Bitcoin In Uganda
10. Bitcoins In Argentina
11. Bitcoins Liberating Organic Farmers
12. Ulterior States [An IamSatoshi Documentary]

Do you guys know of any more documentaries?

These are great docs which we can get great info about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. But I have a recommendation to you. You may add the top of the list "Bitcoin Whitepaper, written by Satoshi Nakamoto himself" with some stars. Smiley The first of its kind and greater one I think.

4091  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Winklevoss brothers suggests more regulations for cryptos on: March 15, 2019, 06:15:12 AM
We already trust crypto, we don't need any regulations — crypto was fine when there were no regulations, regulations has only made things complicated. May be that I am just looking at the worst side of it.

Regulations can be useful for us. Of course there will be some arrangements we don't want. But in general it would be good to draw borders. It is not possible to completely block Blockchain transactions. The use of people cannot be prevented, but none of us want to be used for malicious purposes.

I can give the approval of the legal regulations to be done by giving the least harm to the subject of indifference. The right regulation will benefit all of us. Especially exchange should take responsibility for their transactions. So how many people think that if the Binance closes access to the system, how many people will be victims? Why should we say no to the regulations that will regulate this and ensure people's investments?
4092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is a Technology, Not a Business Opportunity, TRON CEO Tells Mainstream on: March 15, 2019, 06:01:07 AM
TRON by having a CEO is just a business.. not a technology

a technology offers many oppertunities to many businesses, innovators and industries

a business just offers itslf and its customers something.
in my view TRON is the one that has limited itself

There is a difference between bitcoin and all other subcoins. Bitcoin was created to reveal technology and to make a difference. At first glance it was an experiment and we can say it was successful.

But all other coins have been unearthed for the purpose of "just making profit." Therefore, it should not be underestimated speculation. The CEO of the LTC sold out all the LTCs in a single day. It was very troubled as decentralized. But I must say that LTC is currently more decentralized than it was at this time.

Nowadays, the GRIN coin's developer is trying to act like Satoshi. He's hiding and he's not revealing his identity. But there's something he forgot. He also uses the technology of the blockchain created by Satoshi. Wink

I don't even want to talk about TRON Smiley They are playing with people well. Their all purpose is speculation.
4093  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicting Bitcoin Price on: March 14, 2019, 03:05:06 PM
I just can't figure out why Bitcoin hasn't started rallying yet   Huh  .  I thought for sure it was going to get excited when Fidelity Bitcoin custody service launched and Samsung Galaxy S10 started selling and the London Blockchain ETF yet the price of Bitcoin is acting nonchalant still trading at 3900 for the past week.  I just find it mindboggling that given all the news and events since the start of 2018 when prices were at or near all time highs in regards to Cryptocurrency if you asked me I would value the prices to be higher as I see increasing adoption.  On Fidelity Digital Assests Twitter account they mentioned that institutional interest is still the same.  https://twitter.com/Kr00ney/status/1104056994393133058


Possibly, there will be no bull soon. Be ready for that. It may take some times more! And it never promise certainly that will be rise!

Fidelity Bitcoin custody service launched and Samsung Galaxy S10 started selling


This is nothing! It doesn't make any sense. Samsung will accept its wallet probably only XRP, ZIL and NEM. And this will not affect on BTC price. Whatever, they are planning to sell more phones all over the world. So don't expect from them anything.


the London Blockchain ETF

It doesn't matter also... This ETF is interested only local investor. And I sick of this ETF mess! ETF will not bring price rise! Don't expect from it also anything.
4094  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help - Bitcoin Stealer - Electrum4.0 on: March 14, 2019, 02:59:05 PM
If you are fast and a little lucky you can stop this. But it will only work as long as the other transaction (51ff1786...) is not confirmed.
1. Go to https://electrum.org/download.html and download the latest wallet version, verify its signature and install it.
2. Import your seed and let it sync (you may not need to do this, you just have to open the newly installed wallet.)
3. [Important]From menu select File > New/restore option and follow the steps to create a new wallet. You have to create a new wallet to get a new address because your other wallet with all its addresses (even the ones you generate in the future) are compromised.
4. Select a new address from the new wallet and go back to other (old/hacked) wallet and send all your coins to this new address. [Important]Set the fee to 45 satoshi/byte. This amount is according to mempool about 15 satoshi/byte higher than the minimum for high priority transactions and you want to get your new tx confirmed as fast as possible.

P.S. I doubt that the hacker is watching the mempool for double spends but if they are then you have to repeat step 4 with a higher fee in an arms race to get your transaction confirmed faster than the hacker.
And good luck.


Unfortunately, there is no return after such transactions. I hope you find a way to get it back. Once stolen my 0.03 BTC and I didn't get it back.
4095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brock Pierce Predicts Blockchain to be Propelled by Gamers, STOs and D’apps on: March 13, 2019, 09:26:13 AM
The crypto market just like the traditional financial market runs on predictions, which have never been in short supply. There have been predictions about everything from the future of the industry to possible tax conundrums the technology will inflict on baffled regulators and governments.

Even as the price of cryptocurrency took a hit in late 2018, enthusiasts have continued to voice their opinions, including the ever-controversial Brock Pierce who recently espoused some interesting views.

https://btcmanager.com/brock-pierce-predicts-blockchain-to-be-propelled-by-gamers-stos-and-dapps/?q=/brock-pierce-predicts-blockchain-to-be-propelled-by-gamers-stos-and-dapps/&

I think the market is trying to break down the forecasts. For example, these days... A short bull season is taking place at Binance. All the coins in the Binance rose one by one.

NO! NO! NO!

He won't come back! If he'll come, be sure he'll post in this blog and we'll be know.

He tried to create complete decentralized system. I guess he is not here because of that.
4097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Tipping Point: Kroger, Starbucks May Ignite Retail Crypto on: March 12, 2019, 09:10:01 AM
Let us be a little realistic; How many of us do this by using BTC if Starbuck's accepts payments with BTC today? I will not. Because our goal is not to use crypts.
We need time for this. Cryptocurrencies are an investment tool for all of us as long as we don't get our revenue with crypto.
4098  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Beware of nocoiners on: March 11, 2019, 01:24:21 PM
Here's a vision into the circuit. Unfortunately, the vision is something everyone cannot have. When you read the same things and come to different conclusions, everyone will have an idea. But it's not nice to say words over your head.

I can understand those who don't believe in Bitcoin. But I do not understand the hatred of their discourse. It's like something that hurts them.
They exclude everything. I'm not saying anything to anyone who has no relationship to crypto assets. Good or bad. I expect the same respect from them. One day, the crypts will either spread out or be completely destroyed. But people with no vision like first post on the thread won't definitely be remembered.
4099  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Off grid Bitcoin on: March 11, 2019, 01:18:46 PM
I started a thread about the first ham radio transaction using the Lightning netwoork, and how that could help us to make Bitcoin transfers without access to the Internet. The recent loss of Internet access in much of Venezuela has brought this topic to the fore again, and it seems there are other solutions. One of which is txTenna -
https://github.com/MuleTools/txTenna

I rhink that this is something that we should be discussing in Bitcoin  Talk, and I would be interested in being a part of any project that may be started here.


Except for Bitcoin, I've heard of a few more projects. I will follow the development and the discussions in Github. I feel like going to Bitcoin and the future will be very nice.

Looks like we are out of bear market!

Please check number of transactions for the Bitcoin. Very close to all time high.
If this is not proof of adoption for some people I don't know what adoption should be like.

https://twitter.com/vradovic/status/1104489493229264896

Is there a link between bear market and transaction numbers? I don't think that's a valid statistic. Yes, there is an increase in transaction numbers during the bull market, but as I said, this is not a valid statistical data. A good guess, maybe ...
