This is the double standard that I'm referring to, the only time that public servants will come out and scrutinize people for stuff like this is when they know they'll be getting news coverage from the MSM who'll support their cause without an issue. When the opposite things happens to a Muslim bakery and people are outraged people won't come out and say anything because they think they'll be perceived as Racist, Islamophobic and so on.

This whole Islamophobia thing is something that was present at one point around 9/11 but it's not really something that is as widespread as the Liberal news organizations want people to believe, it's just used as something to say against people that don't support Liberal causes.

You're really a bright one bud, I've never seen someone who fully believes without an issue that the new wave of feminism today is actual and real feminism. She was going to be forced to wear a headscarf to visit  Lebanon's leader and when this news was discovered she cancelled the meeting as she wasen't going to do this.

You can perceive that in one of two ways, a publicity stunt in order to garner more support from nationalistic French supporters or a way to advocate for womens rights in the Muslim world as they're forced to cover themselves.

You also can't go ahead and say that being against abortion is something that doesn't make her a feminist, that's something that people believe today which is horrid. You have to understand that you're killing a child when you commit an abortion and people don't support such an action, so it would simple to see her be opposed to this on those grounds. I understand women have the right or should have the right to commit this, but wouldn't that constitute as a murder?

Please provide some more sources on some of your claims relating to Le Pen and MAYBE I'll take you a bit more serious on your horrid attitude towards how feminism is today, as this isn't real feminism and is just a war against men / white males / and so on.

Coinbase and other large exchanges wont fall nor take a hit in the least if the ETF fails, I personally think that all this hype due to the prices going so high due to the insane amount of people that are going to want to buy and sell are just an insane amount of bullshit spewed by people who want to make a quick buck off people. The large sell off or buy isn't going to occur, demand will just increase and the price may go up a bit and go down a bit.

All I see is the price coming to some sort of stabilization in some time after the ETF is approved, IF IT IS APPROVED. These exchanges have such a hold on all of the purchases that I just don't think they'd fall even during a high amount of selling and not enough buying to support it.


Tough wording but I'll agree with you partly, the ETF won't make BTC fall in the least it just won't happen even if some random dudes on the internet attempted to make people think this.

Might be the only way for normal people their to be able to escape the rampant corruption that is present in countries in Africa and sadly mostly accepted by people due to the widespread nature of it. Bitcoin could allow people to be able to hide vast amounts of money from authorities but I guess that could only go on for so long without the government attempting to crack down on it.

It's probably going to be more of a chore for people in the countries in Africa to be able to buy bitcoin and go through all the loops and bounds of this. I don't even know of many exchanges that would want to deal with the impoverished people in Africa (Not saying they all are, but by the standards of the Western world some are)


See people on this forum are always saying this kind of stuff, how could Bitcoin help these people in the least if no one is going to accept it and NO ONE wants to go ahead and be the first to try a service like this, risking their hard earned money.

This announcement of Canada being the country for cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin should really be changed to them supporting the block-chain technology and that's all, as the National Bank in Canada (forgot it's real name) came out with something saying that Bitcoin will probably fail without government intervention. If this doesn't sound rather hostile to the bitcoin decentralization cause, I really don't know what's going to convince you that  Canada is not the right country to accept such innovations relating to bitcoin business.


The blockchain tech does not relate in the least to bitcoin confirmation times in the least. It's just a current issue we face due to having an issue with BU and Segwit as solutions to fix the current confirmation time issues. Confirmations occur within a short time frame if you pay a high enough fee.

I would say that it's less of #FakeNews and more of something that is just timed to look a bit nicer. The fact is true by Donald Trump, but it's a very specific time frame used to deceive people into thinking he's had an impact this quickly. Not saying he hasn't had an impact to the stock market and other economic systems but it's not even like a budget has been advised by his administration yet so he hasn't been able to fight for a difference.

I think if you give him and his administration around 2 years you should see some wonderful results, but it's too early now to see and hope for anything. Though he has done a lot more than any other president in a short period of time.

I think he should be fine for his term as no one is going to attempt to impeach him in the least, noe enough democrats in power to even attempt such a horrible suicidal move to the party. I am going to be hoping for a second term but personally I think he will want to run and if he does well in his first term (like all Americans hope for) then he should easily beat the Democrat canidate. I think they want to put forward Elizabeth Warren which will be an easy win for Trump.




Elizabeth Warren will probably be the candidate in 2020, she's insanely more left than any other current serving democrats and has her own array of controversies and scandals. No chance for the dems in the house or senate either, it's going to be nice to see Republican control for a good amount of time.

Speaking about John McCuck I mean John McCain (Sorry, get those mixed up all the time) some news just came out about his pay for play foundation that is very similar to the foundation that the Clintons ran. I think McCain is secretly a democrat and is only still in the Republican party and being re-elected is due to him being a Vietnam war veteran who uses that to his advantage.

Now I'll give him respect for his service, but using that service in order to further your own personal wealth and career in politics is absolutely disgusting. Waiting for him to get indicted on some charges one day for corruption with the Saudis or some other country.

This is just another one of the false narratives that the left attempts to spew, they're going to say that Trump is "Destroying the 1st amendment" "Destroying Free Speech" and so on and so forth, but they're just trying to hide the fact that the MSM today is one of the most biased and disgusting organizations out their. They've turned into a political machine for the democratic party (minus FOX) and the left feels they must protect them from losing their grasp and power as it affects them too.


Press has never been free and free of bias, it's just now that the people have had their eyes opened relating to how biased and political the press really is.

I personally think she has a high chance of winning based on the current state of France as it is now, it's a place where many refugees arrived in and have made France a crime ridden area. I'm not saying the refugees caused all of this but it's a good climate for someone like her to go in and win an election.

She is also someone who is well liked by the PEOPLE and hated by the politicians on the other side based on how fierce she is. I think she is real feminist based on the type of way she really fights for womens rights, unlike the bullshit womens march and the whole hating men thing here in the United States.

I think this is absolutely disgusting in a multitude of ways, and I'm not talking in the way of them not wanting to bake a cake for the Gay wedding. I personally don't have an issue with Gay marriage in the least but people must understand the issue some religions and people have relating to it, and that is bound to occur. The real issue I have with this is the double standard is that present, if this was a Christian owned bakery the local and major news outlets would be their in seconds to pound reporting down peoples throats.

Not just the media but riots  would have already be in progress in order to boycott the company itself for doing this act. I think there was a story around last year about all this occuring around last year

Here is the Muslim bakery story - https://twitter.com/AndyHortin/status/833810934887911424?s=09

What do you guys think about this?

It's kind of sad to see such an issue arise where the majority of bitcoins volume is not from people that want to adopt it, it's from people that want to buy/sell on the daily and make money from it. This could have never been predicted in the least.


I love when people attempt to show differences between confirmation times and fees on some bullshit altcoin which is only be using a small amount and comparing it to bitcoin which has a disgusting amount of usage on its network. These altcoins have no problem due to them not having the same type of usage of bitcoin and that's all.

If you put the same sort of stress on the altcoins they'd be facing the same EXACT issues.

Might want to find a more reputable and reliable source then some no name site called "DC Clothesline" what a weird name in itself. This is what people were referring to when they spoke about fake news, this and the Mainstream Media which skewed everything towards Clinton.

I competently understand the need to want to bash Obama into oblivion, I'd love to do the same exact thing but this isn't the way in the least. Find some better sources on this or scrap it in general.

Did you really just ask the question of "What different to him is a legal mirgrant or not" He's the PRESIDENT of the United States, a country which is supposed to uphold standards of law and order all across the country, and that means arresting ILLEGAL migrants. He's said that ILLEGAL immigrants are stealing American jobs and has never said anything bad about the ones that come here legally, that's just not something you can attempt to say.

It's the false and sad narrative of the left to try to say Trump hates immigrants, CAUSE THAT CAN TOTALLY BE TRUE while his wife is an immigrant to the country and the 2nd first lady to be an immigrant since John Adams' wife? Don't fully remember that.

Better idea would be to use a site that actually upholds some standards such as a site like Paxful or LBC which can gurantee that the seller is going to be good. I'm not saying all scams are going to be prevented on these sites, but at least you're able to ask people if they bought it with cash so they can't chargeback, look at their feedback and so on.

It allows a bit more piece of mind than buying from an autobuy site that probably bought a ton of stolen credit card purchased amazon gift cards.


Most autobuy sites are good, well if they're reputable. This one sadly isn't so I would just avoid it and find a more reputable site that you won't have a high chance to be scammed on.

God I've never seen such downright stupidity, this whole Trump and Putin narrative is downright stupid and just doesn't make sense in the least. It's the only way the democrats can ATTEMPT to make a claim to salvage their party which is in disarray, that's the only thing that they've been saying this entire time.

Pick a new battle, one with evidence and claims that aren't just from the Mainstream media and say "A Source said this" which is just some premium bullshit.

Wish I was still able to go ahead and say Circle as that was the exchange that I loved the most when we were able to, but they closed service to bitcoin users due to federal regulations if I'm not mistaken. The other exchange that Circle now directs their old customers to is Coinbase which has pretty good service but some people do have some pretty horrible horror stories when it comes to them.

OP are you going to be purchasing and selling on the daily because if so Coinbase offers GDAX which is a pretty nicely designed site to be able to buy and sell bitcoin on the daily as a day trader.

Yea this is nothing new when it comes to big internet search providers like google that only want people to see the world in one way by a couple news sources and the news sources which they deem are good for the public to be seeing, if they don't fit this narrative like naturalnews doesn't they're going to be blocked so less and less people find the site.

Kind of sad to see this in the world, but this is what happens when one company controls a disgusting portion of internet searches conducted in our lives today.


I feel this is the reason for investigative journalism to be dying today based on the pure fact that these companies don't want it to occur, whens the last time anyone has seen GOOD and truthful investigative journalism happening? The newest investigative journalism is from sources like WikiLeaks which are actually leaking because the MSM (Main Stream Media) won't go ahead and show the people what's going on.

I'd say it was less of a barring and more of a non-invitation given, it wasn't like they told them to come and then held them up at the door or anything along those lines. Wasn't this briefing dring the CPAC event where mostly conservative news sources were talking to Sean Spicer so that's just what occurred.


Disgusting how the media is today, they should be ashamed of themselves on the yellow journalism and false journalism they're portraying to the American people.

Yeah, thats one of the many horror stories when it comes to using Coinbase and Coinbase only, I've had friends who were buying BTC in order to gamble with Bitcoin who got his account frozen for months on end with tens of thousands of dollars in their. This is why I would recommend using another wallet in between such as Blockchain.info, BitGo, or so on.

I'd rather spend the extra transaction fees than have my money locked up, but I guess that's me.
