I think he is talking about the free coins you get from forks, hence the reason he posted in the web wallet section.  And I am not sure but Coinbase credited only for the BCH fork, if you owned X BTC before in Coinbase before the block #xxxxxx.
4502  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Amazon and Bitcoin on: April 20, 2019, 11:10:07 AM
Perhaps the community does but Amazon has no interest to accept BTC, whatever the Bitcoin's price is.
Bitrefill is a good option but the rate is not so good last time I checked. I used Purse.io before without a problem.
4503  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC/USD Bulls Keep Charging to Upside Targets on: April 20, 2019, 10:41:49 AM
Someone noticed that the Bitcoin started to move during the weekends, whereas before it was pretty dead. You could buy bitcoin cheaper starting from Friday and it returned at the beginning of the week. Now it does the opposite, increase in weekends and decrease at the beginning of the week.
4504  Economy / Economics / Re: The Great View of History on: April 20, 2019, 10:21:31 AM
You're mixing economy and politic a bit, even they can be tied together somewhat. The real problem is the money created by someone behind a computer (your banker), the money doesn't exist, it's a scriptural money and it's a real threat to the system. As long central banks keep to print money that's ok, but it creates debt and decreases national currencies value
4505  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Two things: best forum software? And... Admins needed on: April 20, 2019, 10:04:48 AM
The most popular are VBulletin, SMF, phpBB but here you have a pretty good list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software

SMF is easy to administrate and it's good to start with, especially if it's your first one. The downside is it doesn't have a lot of features/add-ons. So it depends on what you're looking exactly. Free or Paid, etc...

@Bitinity
At this time Coinbase and Cex.io didn't exist  Smiley (Coinbase is about 6 years old and Cex.io ~5)

@keychainX
If I remember correctly, during a time, MtGox had a card option (and even Paypal but it was removed once it started to deal with Bitcoin). It's something you could check with Archive.org. We talk about debit card right? (not credit card tied to a loan)
4507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest Crime in cryptocurrency on: April 20, 2019, 09:04:25 AM
The biggest crime didn't happen yet. It will be once we let the central banks controlling the Bitcoin network. But if not, I think that it is MtGox that holds the record in the media. In term of funds for sure, all these shit ICOs are the biggest. Still, it's minimal compared to other currencies and like the currencies, Bitcoin can't be blamed but the platform people use and so these people themselves.

Just a few hacks I collected quickly from the web, as you see, only exchanges here...

Mt. Gox 850,000BTC
Bitfinex 120,000BTC
Bitcoinica 101,000BTC
Allinvain 25,000BTC
Bitfloor 24,000BTC
Bitstamp 19,000BTC
Cryptsy 313,000 LTC
Poloniex 97BTC

4508  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-18]North Korea Plans on Using Bitcoin to Bypass Sanctions on: April 20, 2019, 08:41:32 AM
What I wonder is that if several countries decide to use Bitcoin in order to avoid American sanctions, or even anticipate future ones for other countries, could this not create a snowball effect or the countries that have decided to use BTC against US sanctions, could end up uniting under a new union, organization. it could also attract other countries to do the same if they have an economic interest.
And especially how would the White House react to counter these countries?



What's the point of officially uniting if they have already been working together since forever? North Korea wouldn't exist if not for economic aid from Russia and China. If they openly and strongly antagonize the US and the West, it would only hurt them in the long run. Also, I doubt that they will seriously use crypto, because it has too many downsides - it doesn't scale, most coins aren't private, it does give governments full control over the network.

Because with the actual geopolitics we could easily see a few other countries seeking to avoid The US. And I don't mean only the US sanctions (or the potential ones), but the dollar system (when it's about international trades) I was thinking about Iran, Russia, China, but the list could grow up quickly. Why do you think we see some countries claiming they will create their countrycoin?

Most coins aren't private so what? Aren't there privacy-centric cryptocurrencies around there? Do they really need to use privacy coin?

4510  Economy / Economics / Re: Barclays: ‘Facebook Coin’ to bring in $19 billion by 2021 on: April 19, 2019, 09:09:26 PM
This is 19 billion for Facebook itself, not anyone else. It's a way for the company to increase its value (and so shareholders dividends) but don't expect it to be the type of coin with an ICO, or a coin you can hold and wait for the price to rise to resell. It will remain a simple stable coin fixed on the dollar's price, and which may not even use cryptography.
4511  Other / Off-topic / Re: Research project on ethical issues related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on: April 19, 2019, 07:59:28 PM
Completed the survey as well. I hope you will get enough participants.
The "issues" mentioned in the surveys aren't really issues to me. Always the same thing about illegal goods, money laundering, etc... These problems are here with the traditional currencies too, it's something we cant' avoid. Even if you find a way they will find another way.
The huge amount of energy used is something subjective but as of know, the banking cartel uses more electricity than Bitcoin.
4512  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-13] What Russia’s ‘Digital Iron Curtain’ Means for Bitcoin Users on: April 19, 2019, 07:02:08 PM
if the article tells the truth I do not know, but the political system of russia is a very shady political system and it does not seem to me that russia intends to see bitcoin being adopted en masse in its country, it seems to me that what the Russian government want is greatly reduce the number of people using bitcoin so that the Russian government has more control over the small number of people who use bitcoin in their country. This is something expected of governments that have a shadowy political system, for this kind of government to remain in power is because they control and manipulate their people.

Russia isn't interested to see Bitcoin massively adopted in the country (whatever the reason it has) but the government is interested to use it when it's about to fund its cyber war to interfere in the US. elections (Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election
Do you see the irony? It's like saying Bitcoin isn't good for you, only for me". I am pretty sure there are other countries using Bitcoin too behind the scene.
4513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could still crash below $3000 - Vinny Lingham on: April 19, 2019, 05:59:21 PM
If is that is what you waiting for to enable you buy Bitcoin at the cheaper rate then you may end up waiting in vain.

It might be time for him to sing I do not want to wait in vain for $3000 while he waits for it in vain to be dumped on $3000 hehehe.
I am sure if they are to ask him again if he would still like to wait, the answer would be a proof of the coin he has already bought at the recent price, anyone still thinking or speaking of bitcoin crashing to $3000 is either pulling people’s leg, trying to make himself popular from BTC or fooling himself.

The uptrend has already begun, no more going back, positive fundamentals, whales, good investors are the main people domiciled now and within a little time more, they will act on the market and the next thing we will see is a boomed price, if care is not taking by them, they will miss out again from this next bull run. Little advice for the ones in the market, we should never panic into selling into their hands.

After 2 or 3 weeks of positive market, people start to think Bitcoin won't crash anymore. Sorry, but it isn't the case. And despite the fact, the value increased the recent days we're truly not safe from going to a situation we had not long ago (stagnating $3,500). At least I won't be surprised to see a correction in the next days or weeks... The year will be full of correction btw.

So I would agree more or less with the title.
4514  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Adsense for crypto website on: April 19, 2019, 05:33:15 PM
Is the content original or translated? Did you provide accurate personal information, that may be a reason? I don't see anything bad with the theme, domain name... other than promoting ICOs (which is against Adsense i think) Didn't say to you why they rejected it? they usually do.  Also, 6 months is the minimum but a lot of domains are approved are older.
4515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATMs doubled every year since 2014 on: April 19, 2019, 05:05:11 PM
Easy to double when the number was 0 previously. No idea why they extend the number because almost nobody is interested in selling their bitcoins, nor buying via ATM.
People are not in the mentality to use BTC as a currency but rather as a store of value. They hold and that's all. People who buy via ATM pay high fees compared to the traditional was to acquire bitcoins.
4516  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin debit card or free SEPA acc with card available for Asia? on: April 19, 2019, 01:54:51 PM
There is a list here that you can look at and you will probably be able to find one for your location. It's up to you to check them one by one or to read the discussion thread.
Will you connect the SEPA to something related to cryptos? Because if not then you have plenty of solutions around.

I revisited the site because I didn't bother to check what it does exactly. I get now why a lot of people use it.
I just want to ask: is it a paid membership you have or just a free account? Didn't know users can customize like this.  Also, with a free plan, can a free account create custom conditions for alerts?

4519  Economy / Economics / Re: The History of Gold and Silver Points to the future of Cryptocurrency on: April 18, 2019, 07:37:17 PM
@South Park

A bank can't issue a currency that has no legal status by a government. At best, they can only create a token or a point system that has no real value. Something like 100 token=$1=1 month free banking
BTC would need approval first from the government before banks start to jump in.
4520  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What are the best fiat to crypto exchanges? on: April 18, 2019, 12:00:01 PM
It depends on the country you come from and/or the currency you use because exchanges don't use all currencies possible pairs as you guess. Some use only EUR/USD, some use EUR/GBP/USD/JPY and so on. For EURO Bitstamp and Kraken are good, Coinbase for GBP. But since you didn't say much...

5. Bittrex

These are the exchangers listed on the link you have given. Just want to ask where you from? Each exchange do have supported countries just take a look for that info.

Bittrex uses fiat currencies?
