461  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: June 11, 2016, 07:48:50 AM
Well for me Ill pick bitcoin because its easier to convert to real money and it is easier to store.  Grin
We know its easy to convert bitcoin but it needs internet.. unlike gold anytime you can convert it in money just go to friends use your gold as your collateral you have now money.. or you can sell it in pawnshop and ready to use the money.. they are good bitcoin and gold so for me i will go in 50/50

each of them have something special, and all of your statement is right.
we know bitcoin is the new technology, people can send dan receive money more simple than lastday, but we need internet connection.
we know too, gold is the oldest survive payment system, and we can use gold "without " internet connection.

for invest bitcoin have more chance to get Big profit but high risk too. and gold give you low risk and low chance to get profit too.

i think buy all of them with 30/30 is good option, then use 40 for invest at other place like property etc.
462  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-10] Korean Web Giant Kakao Invests in Satoshi Citadel on: June 11, 2016, 07:42:26 AM
Kakao is a household name in South Korea, as this web giant has a mobile app with over 100 million active users. This particular app lets users make free calls and send text messages, as long as they have an internet connection. Moreover, there is an entire ecosystem built around KakaoTalk.

In a way, Kakao has created their own social environment. Users can access photo sharing and the social network KakaoStory. Additionally, there is also a gaming platform and a content publishing platform. But at the same time, the enterprise is looking to expand its global reach through some strategic investments.

Satoshi Citadel (sci.ph) presents one of those critical investments for Kakao, as the Philippine Bitcoin startup has seen its fair share of success. Since being launched in 2014, the company offers financial services to Filipinos without a bank account. By using the popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, anyone in the region can send and receive money at very cheap rates.

Its depend on your your own think. However these days bitcoin is going high and this is profitable for everyone. after halving price may be came down. So profit of investing in BTC depend on time duration.

But even if you invest bitcoins in sites you are not going to lessen them, right ? Then why even do not invest them ?
I mean price will increase is better for you then. I do not understand this logic of saving them.

it's comeback on your mindset, your plan, your goal.
if you believe bitcoin for long term, if you want to invest for long time, i think you will says everyday is good time to buying bitcoin, because the price will be rise after or before halving.
464  Economy / Economics / Re: I'm not gonna sell any coin. on: June 11, 2016, 07:27:30 AM
You should not sell any bitcoins from now on that is right, if you would sell them now you will make profit but not as much you will in about a few months, so if you are smart just hold them and be patient for the halving.
If the halving has been done you can sell your bitcoins if you find that necessary or your can just hold them longer and maybe you will gain more profit because of that but its always a risk of course.

i agree with you, save our bitcoin for halving is good choice, next halving will mak bitcoin rising , so holder will be the winner at this situation Smiley
465  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-11] The Bitcoin Halving – What Will Change? on: June 11, 2016, 07:16:08 AM
The most noticeable change comes in the form of a reduced Bitcoin block reward. When Bitcoin was initially launched seven years ago, there was a block reward of 50 BTC. However, Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, put in periodic checkpoints during which this block reward would be cut in half.

The first halving occurred a few years ago when the Bitcoin block reward was reduced from 50 coins to 25 BTC. However, this time, the block reward will be cut in half once again, resulting in 12.5 BTC being generated by the mining process every ten minutes. As this happens, the available Bitcoin supply will keep growing every day, but at a slower rate than before.

Bitcoin miners will be the ones feeling the biggest impact from this change. Miners, who confirm network transactions to be included in every block, are rewarded in the form of a share of every block reward. This reward is based on the proportionate amount of computational power they contributed to finding that specific block.

A lot of things have changed in the Bitcoin mining game since the previous halving, though. Mining hardware has become a lot more power efficient, but it still rather costly to mine at home for most people. Moreover, achieving a return on investment after buying a Bitcoin miner is always a challenge. A reduced block reward could put some miners an unprofitable situation, albeit that hinges on what the Bitcoin price will do.

If electricity is cheap in my country or I can have access to free electricity I'll go for mining my own coins to go full time, it's much better than relying on cloud mining which is more likely a ponzi. But since I dont have any those perks NO I'll stick to my job and Bitcoins will just be a side business.

at this time im mining ethereum (maybe bitcoin soon if i have capital) my electric cost arround $0.14/kwh and it's still profitable for me, you can use calculator mining (google it) i think if your electic cost lower than $0.2/kwh Is still profitable.
467  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why do you have Bitcoin? on: June 11, 2016, 05:25:42 AM
i have bitcoin for paying my bills because its have discounts, and i will treat it like other source of income.
i look forward to gather more income here in bitcoin and i use it to my business transaction for the future!
The first thought for most of the people is 100% investments and get benefits. BTC can be used in different ways and to hide something related to finance. My idea is about earning with some small amount of BTC and bit high with my regional currency. Anyhow am started getting some benefits Wink.

wow where you use it? can you share the link of your site? where i can discount if i use bitcoin as payment processor ?

@kalilinux iam use it too, if i save my money at bitcoin (paperwallet) so no people know i have 100bitcoin  Cheesy, and it's more safe than we save at bank.
468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you holding your bitcoin for a price increase? on: June 11, 2016, 05:23:24 AM
Now that its almost clear btc is going to skyrocket during halving i guess I'd be saving a more.
I did even consider buying another account just to join some signature campaign but then again i'd be spending again..


I actually make transactions with bitcoins everyday but i keep some aside for when theres a price increase. But you should also have a bit of concern about the value of the bitcoin because you would be paying more than you used to before, if its value decreases.

agree it, we must keep some saving some bits , i choose paperwallet to save my bitcoin at safety place.
im use bitcoin to top up my number phone, for buying domain too.

I was looking from other online business aside from payperclick. I found this through a friend who wondering how to do things here. I was bored at first but then my friend insisted that there is more money here if you read more.It is then in my reading that i discovered how to enroll in a campaign last year. I got started from posting then altcoins.

So far bitcointalk is good even though i am still starting in a low payment.

im join signature campaign more than 1year too  Cheesy.
signature campaign make me interesting to keep active at bitcointalk, but for me learning of bitcoin and altcoin is more important than it Smiley
470  Economy / Exchanges / Re: yobit.net is a scam ? on: June 11, 2016, 05:19:27 AM
I dont think so that this yobit will scam because i didnt know if any trading site will scam. Because i know only that ponzi scheme is only the site that will scam you.  Im earning in this site and withdrawing some funds theres no scam that ahppen to my balances if there is i quit in their signature campaig  but now theres no scam i felt in yobit.
It's really hard to believe your statement, considering that you're working under yobit. I mean, sure, what you said might be true but the yobit sig camp is just a minus. So to help you with that, I too say that yobit isn't really a scam, based on experience.

but there are chance that yobit can be turned to scam like what happen the big trading site back before they turn scam and many people lose their money, but for now yobit is really in good shape but not advisable to big huge amount of btc so we will not get compromise if their is an error will exist to their site and maybe those existing problem that they experience on sending balance in yobit is happened when the wallet of an alt is on maintenance thats why the amount they send is been compromise.

in fact now yoibit online again, and the transaction withdraw smoothly.
i think yobit can be scam, we must be careful to trade big amount at yobit.
now im trade at poloniex and bittrex.
471  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-11] Trade Bitcoins Professionally to Make Profits on: June 11, 2016, 04:44:45 AM
Bitcoin, a form of currency existing only in the digital world, is a major trading asset for thousands of people around the world for the obvious reasons that it is able to generate huge returns for traders and investors. Needless to say if you trade Bitcoin thanks to its volatility you are either doomed or an instant rich man. Therefore, be careful when trading Bitcoin.

As it appears Bitcoin technology was created by an individual hiding under an identity named Satoshi Nakamoto, it has been able to impress people around the world. Even today the creator/creators of the system never materialized, maintaining an anonymous status. However, the digital currency is still making great inroads for those who trade Bitcoin.

The traditional currencies like dollar, Yuan, euro, etc. are the ones that you come across with; however, Bitcoins are not printed like these currencies. There are no physical representations for the cryptocurrency; rather, it is produced by users and numerous businesses through a process called mining.

473  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-11] We're About to Live in a Blockchain-Based World on: June 11, 2016, 02:21:39 AM
Brian Forde, director of Digital Currency at the MIT Media Lab, wants you to imagine the typical ticket-buying experience. You purchase a concert or a sports ticket online, usually on Craigslist, StubHub, Ticketmaster, or from a friend. On the day of the event, you walk up to the gate with your printed ticket. Maybe you're 95 percent sure the ticket will scan and you'll see a green "Go" arrow. But there's that other 5 percent that prompts butterflies in your stomach because you know there's a chance the ticket might have been duplicated.

Now, if you pulled up an e-ticket on your phone (bought with digital currency transferred directly from your wallet to the seller's), the ownership history of that ticket would sit right there in the blockchain ledger.Blockchain is most commonly known as the distributed data technology underlying bitcoin. But in a keynote entitled "Business Decentralized" at Singularity University's Exponential Finance conference this week, Forde stressed that blockchain is a way to take any digital asset—from a ticket or a song to all manner of money and data—and transfer it from one party to another without a centralized intermediary.

474  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-10]ShapeShift Integration With Jaxx Blockchain Wallet, Supports Bitcoin on: June 11, 2016, 01:30:30 AM
Decentral has announced that it will be integrating the ShapeShift API with its Jaxx fleet of blockchain wallets. By working with ShapeShift, who enable cryptocurrency conversions, Jaxx’s cross-platform experience can now offer the option to convert between bitcoin, ether, and dao tokens. It will also support any tokens that Jaxx and Shapeshift integrate in future.

Erik Voorhees, ShapeShift Founder and CEO, commented: “We built ShapeShift’s API for this very reason — to enable other services in this ecosystem to leverage it for the benefit of their users. Converting blockchain assets should be as easy as clicking a button, and Jaxx’s integration of ShapeShift demonstrates this principle.”

With interoperable versions currently available on nine major platforms, Jaxx offers accessibility for blockchain enthusiasts. The unified Jaxx fleet of wallets enables cross-platform pairing, encompassing mobile, desktop and browser extensions.

475  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-11] Here's How You'll Make And Save Money In The Future on: June 11, 2016, 01:29:09 AM
I see Bitcoin as a tiny baby. It has phenomenal potential and it’s barely crawling. It’s still growing, learning, bumping its head and being used for a variety of conflicting reasons. It’s easier to manipulate as a monetary system because it’s small and the conversion rate into the system can be gamed. Bitcoin is a harbinger of a new kind of currency. It, and others like it, will become more popular in time.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about Bitcoin and other currencies, and how they could be a way to release the pressure from state hijacked economies. There is great potential to free up capital for circulation.

It depends.

Bitcoin Wallet:
  • Your money can increase/decrease from time to time.
  • Secured as long as you protect your key.
  • The only one you have to trust is yourself.
  • Versatility and Availability: you can use it in a lot of ways. Anywhere.

Bank Account:
  • You have to trust the bank with your money.
  • You can gain interest (through time deposit) but very slow.
  • Security for me is better here. Because this is in the mainstream unlike bitcoin.


Im trust bank more than bitcoin , in my country we have the deposit insurance agency, so if bank collapse im still avaible to acces my money.

But i love bitcoin, the growing rate, the simple way to receive and send my money every where, so im use bitcoin too
Smiley
 both of them is important for my life.

Traiding is not that hard, but it takes time. Even if you buy at high price, just wait a month, two or half a year, price will go back and even above your buying price. Buy when it's falling, sell when it's rising.

and trading is not easy as you think, some times you buying at higher price then you panic and selling your altcoin/bitcoin Roll Eyes

and some times you buying at failling ptice but the price will be failling more and more  Tongue
478  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-10] Rigid Currency Policies Could Drive Bitcoin Prices Through The Roof on: June 10, 2016, 08:48:23 AM
Rigid and sometimes insane currency policies in some countries might explain the big increase in bitcoin prices. The cost of one unit of the cryptocurrency has increased by $350.69 over the past year, according to Coinbase.

A bitcoin cost $229.91 on June 11, 2015 and $583.12 on June 8, 2016, according to the popular digital wallet. The big media has not noticed this surge yet, but it could be the start of a major change in the world's currency market.

Some observers, such as Zero Hedge's Tyler Durden, attribute the bull market to increased demand for bitcoin in China. Durden's thesis is that the People's Republic's efforts to enforce strict limits on the amount of money that can be transferred out of the country is fueling the increased demand for bitcoin.

480  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-06-06] DDoS Attack on BitGo Bitcoin Wallet Sends Shock Waves....... on: June 06, 2016, 03:08:31 AM
Becuase of its unique offering, the service has gathered quite a following in the Bitcoin world, either through its own wallet service or via its API, integrated with companies such as Wirex, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Unocoin, and Kraken.

These services integrate BitGo in order to provide immediate Bitcoin transactions without requiring users to wait hours for the operation to go through.

As soon as the DDoS hit, many of these companies faced issues as well, not being able to provide immediate resolutions for some of their transactions.

Recently, Wirex integrated BitGo as the go-to solution to power its Bitcoin-based debit cards. The DDoS attack on BitGo brought down its service, and the company sent out an email message to all of its customers telling them to avoid making transactions until they receive confirmation from BitGo that its service has resumed.
