Of course they do, if they do not they will be left behind.  Still don't understand how banks and governments are so fired up about the blockchain yet shame bitcoin ...it is where it comes from.

You could be right, it could be a yawn.  Sometimes things do the opposite of what is expected. 

One good thing about a stable price through the halving would be that new bitcoin users/investors would feel more comfortable getting involved.  Sharp moves up or down can scare people away and what bitcoin needs is adoption more than a price rise.  More adoption = natural rise in price.

Yes, everyday I think that Bitcoin is amazing along with many other words.  It is a revolutionary financial technology that can have widespread and positive effects on the global economy and all humans.  

Great to hear!  More devs is always a good thing.

What a surprise!  Visa's days are numbered and they know they have to grab what they can.  What they charge small businesses to accept credit cards is ridiculous. My local pet store has now upped the requested amount spent to use debit/credit at 15.00 due to high visa/mastercard fees!  What is the point of accepting it and it seems a backwards move back to cash - plus no cashiers know how to give change anymore.

I can't decide...had some vcash a couple months ago then sold.  In your opinion share with me what you like about vcash. thanks 

There is one currency that they do indeed hate and fear - Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.  There is no need for banks when crypto takes over...i am banking on it.

Bitcoin on paper or file in your own home off of your computer is the most secure way to store bitcoin.  You just need to protect the hardcopy - laminate, put in a safety deposit box at the bank, or whatever is the most secure for you.

Bitcoin stored at online wallets is risky as the wallet can have issues and nothing "online" is really secure and can be hacked.

If you do use online wallets ALWAYS enable 2FA (Two Factor Authorization).

Yeah...no.  This goes against everything that bitcoin is about to dictate what will happen with certain bitcoins.  This is a decentralized situation and should remain so by people minding their own business with their own bitcoins.

Interesting question.  Do these people just get away with it?

I usually gauge a scam based on developer info.  Who are they and do they actively communicate.

My latest list:
Lisk
Ethereum
Solarcoin
GameCredits
SiaCoin
OKCash
Unobtanium

I agree with this.  It is the belief in bitcoin that makes it "alive" and will keep it alive.  All of us that hold it keep it alive as well.

haha they must. Like the poster above said, Obama has no time left.  It is going to be the next president that will have to deal with it.  I think Trump will be better for btc than Hilary.  She is against encryption...and Trump, well he loves money.

No it does not matter one bit.  In fact it is a distraction.  The creator of bitcoin purposefully has disappeared from it because they want people to focus on the technology and the global impacts which are far more important than the identity of the creator.  I don't need to know who created my espresso maker to enjoy the taste.

Yes, this is similar to another post that was floating around about if you invest in bitcoin will you be broke.  Is this a real question, I dont even understand the point of asking it.  There is a search function where OP can type in "broke" and go to town.  boring drivel.  thank god I have recently discovered the "ignore" button.

Done and bump.

Keep up the good work!  I follow your site and many are appreciative of your information.

Definitely consult with a Bitcoin attorney in your jurisdiction to make certain.  Hopefully states will start being consistent with each other to make doing business easier.

We are very close to this at this point.  I speculate also that it will reach 500 by the end of the month and pick up steam to 600 by mid June.

How about leave it up to the experts?  looks like the devs have said numerous times that launch will be May 24th.
