A couple of years ago any serious financial services company would be crazy to take cryptocurrencies seriously. Now they are crazy not to. Any serious company must have a site now [/nostalgic] ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Ah memory lane recalls the days when businesses were like Websites right ... we will look into that Time does tell no lies ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

So the gambling Casinos are trying to crackdown on free compared to them services Sounds about right time for Micon to move to a friendly gambling jurisdiction (I hear Havana is friendly these days ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) (For those that don't get that joke look up the history of Vegas + Cuba)

First Installment interesting: Gaming on the blockchain does have interesting applications as in game virtual currency There are other interesting approaches to it as the article mentioned with card transfers which is an extension of that idea. It will be interesting to see how it grows.

This is quite distasteful If I saw this advertisment I would not support it, as the message could be presented in a better way.

The alt threads are full of people looking for the next Bitcoin and developers trying to create the next bitcoin. Why are so many people looking for the next Bitcoin? What's wrong with the one we have now?
Nothing really, the concerns that are essentially Bitcoin are the issues of non-refunds if you make a mistake Advanced decentrailized autonomous independent of a controlled stock And more advanced features that are not easy to implement when their are a lot of users without forking. (Risk of breaking bitcoin scares etc)

I just don't see how they can make money at there current business model. Which is why there asking for more money to launch new services. Coinbase has a near monopoly in the US. Circle knows they need to step up there game.
Maybe they have other ways of making money and you don't know about it. At least they must have some good plans - venture capitalists don't give you money for nothing. It depends on your pitch and business plan, assuming they want to launch some service or idea that could attract the attention of venture capitalists, they already have a working history so they are likely to get the funding they need. Reputation is valuable and then stepping up their game could make it attractive to VE.

I did enjoy the Gatorade Response and the other guy who was like I had nothing else to do lmao (And the Spanish dude) but my fav was (6:42-6:52) XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBtF3I7fDfUThat said since they did mention the men experiment on women and the response rate one can ascertain that she went for the hot guys and she has balls of steel to do that so seriously ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I doubt she actually did it with any of them or people assumed its a trap correctly. I kind of want to see the next video (It's asking 100 women for sex lol)

Most people aren't good enough with computer and smartphones.
But as decades pass people will get more used to computers and phones and have more internet access, and enough knowledge to use BTC, and slowly BTC will go mainstream
My main concern would be if BTC in it's current form will be mainstream or if there will be developed protocols that get the traction. We already see some serious developments in 2.0 so by virtue of being frozen it could fall behind That said as it is Bitcoin is the original source and will always have some level of support since it is key to building up the infrastrucutre and representative of all crypto also the main way to get altcoins. Just hope that its not too slow to fall behind newcomers.

I guess the question is its been bleeding for a long time The best strategy has been to short When will the downward trend end and finally reverse is the real question.

RT Reporter Robbed by Youths On-Air While Covering Baltimore Protests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd2Ibw7wrvsShort clip of Baltimore's youth robbing a Russia Today reporter, can't believe the reporter was attempting to run after these animals. Sooka means bitch, btw. Didn't see this clip last time I guess the lesson is that RT reporters will chase you down till you get arrested. That said it sounded like the reporter was crying pretty hard there, it did make the police not look as bad though keeping order in the chaos.

It is said that mtgox customers will get around 20% of his balance at the moment of the closure, but I can't see a clear statement about the cypher from kraken
In a sense even the leveraged users who were up to 10 to 1 on a gox coin are at a loss fiat wise That said I was not keeping track on how they are paying this out if it was in Bitcoins then a gain was held still a terrible deal for most holders at least they got something back though.

Excessive regulation could be a red button. The lack or regulation could be a red button as well since scammers would take over.
That and the concern of people having no cancel button, it's built that way but for some people who somehow send coins to the wrong address they are in a ... situation.

Yeah The absolute silence from the board is a little weird, in fact their whole role seemed a little hoary. Didn't a few leave the board precisely because they felt left in the dark?
Well there weren't that many board members known publicly to begin with TAT, Jutarul, that one other guy and that pretty much was it to my knowledge TAT left not sure about the other guy. As others have said if Jutarul is not saying anything theirs likely nothing new to report.

It's a fairly interesting idea if they can mine more than cost. Add hash to a secure network and raise the difficulty without adding much value to the network besides the miners, is the whole point of the company. Keep control through their mining presence and get some coins.
In this sense, the system is self-perpetuating. Each transaction of bitcoins must be verified and added to the ledger by bitcoin miners, who are then rewarded for each successful verification. With more bitcoins.

Meh, we knew their strange emails around when their miners got stolen were... strange but just thought it was their way of doing business. We should have put two and two together with the things they were asking us to do.
A scammer calling out another scammer. I guess that the whole world just went full circle. The circle of life, in the scammer sense I must admit it was sort of interesting to see that name/user come back even if briefly

Male domination didn't stop Linux, or the Internet, or every other technology, and it will not stop bitcoin.
Indeed adoption is a stepping stone, it just happens to relate to the fact there are fewer female computer programmers than males and in general the tech level is still fairly high, once people including females are more comfortable with the technology users will follow.

It's cool to see a forward thinking CEO like the one at overstock Thinking about the world of tommorrow and making that future a reality. Kind of was interesting how the counterparty devs were removed though so that makes me a little curious what they plan to do when they use the Shelf company.

I've learned that Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory is actually married to a guy in real life.

At least when its compared with Fergusson the other US riot they aren't over armed Still a messy situation though with the curfews added and a 5 day monitoring it will be interesting to see how this turns out.
