Cashless is fine but old timey credit cards aren't. It's an outdated system and it's way too easy to defraud people. After that huge equifax leak I think better ideas for credit scores and credit in general will come out.

I have always used mycelium and I've never needed anything else. Electrum is nice on a computer but who uses those these days? Mycelium supports everything I need such as having easy access to your private keys and easy paper wallet sweeping.

It's not a currency. Let's start with that lol. Now that we have that out of the way..
Centralized - what if the one dev gets hit by a bus? Eth goes to 0.
Infinite supply. There will always be more.
This ICO craze. It's not sustainable and something better than ETH will take over that part of the market.

Not really something to rejoice to, considering that we're still struggling to cross $4300 but it's a start. Momentum isn't built yet like what we have had on our previous runs from July-Aug, and if we continue to feel sluggish on our run to higher highs, this might suggest that it's just another bull trap and we might fall down again to sub-$4000 and remain stagnant from there.
It's hard to say with so much FUD coming with all of these Chinese regulation articles you read about. Hopefully that's already priced in and we can continue on the upwards trend we were on.

Bitcoin volume. It just means the amount of bitcoins traded for that particular coin and vice versa. Usually they list the 24h volume, which from a quick glance would make sense here.

ICOs can't rival bitcoins because 95% of them are erc20 tokens and are basically just random useless coins telling you you own part of a business. They aren't actually a new invention or a better bitcoin, they're a token on a different type of cryptocurrency altogether.
If by rival you mean how much provide you will earn, maybe you should get your priorities straight first.

People must understand that Bitcoin isn't anymore the plaything that it was years ago. Every exchange will face difficulties if they don't properly register their activities - especially when it comes to allowing people to exchange/trade crypto versus USD. If an exchange isn't willing to go through whatever is needed to be allowed to run a platform that involves USD, it will experience what BTC-E has gone through, what Bitfinex is, or will go through, Poloniex, etc. BTC-E however is reported to be involved in the MtGox theft back in the days. I don't like the government shutting exchanges down, but in case of BTC-E, if they are really one of the master mind behind the MtGox theft, may all involved entities burn in hell.
Yep. The wild west has a sheriff now. It's time to get used to it. If an exchange decides they aren't going to bother with regulations they'll be shut down very quickly.

I go for 10% as recommended by any finial professional when you mention saving for retirement. Of course they don't tell you to invest in cryptocurrencies but that's only because they're stuck in their old fashioned ways.

As a general rule of course don't derive your private key from something simple. If you use 1 or all 5s etc while generating your wallet with b6 you can expect those funds to be gone rather quickly. Just use some random method and you're good to go.

The dip was way overly drastic because every day trader and their dog was shorting bitcoins and selling like mad. It's a snowball affect and it triggers stop losses galore.
The rise was just a correction from falling too quickly for no reason but I wouldn't expect a bull run just yet.

I thought bitcoins weren't going to be declared totally legal in India, similar to Japan. What happened to that!? Also it seems that Russia is actually loosening the reigns not tightening them.

That's one huge problem when you become more mainstream. No one gives a shit about what bitcoins are about, they just want to profit in terms of fiat. It's so wacko I can't even believe there are still people out there that will blindly follow whatever their governments do. It's a joke. Everyone needs bitcoins or something similar. If you don't realize it yet you'll be way behind.

This doesn't seem to be working. Oh well, probably for the best as they want you full I.D. and everything. It's bitcoin gambling. Let's not pretend this is legal.

Hey users, as many of you know PrivCoin ( https://privcoin.io ) is gearing up to do a signature campaign https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2199389.msg22111914#msg22111914We posted a topic asking for quotes on management fees and some of them were frankly outrageous in our opinion. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2196716.msg22076450#msg22076450So we built a tool to do 90% of the work for us. How many of you running signature campaigns would pay a tiny fee to use this to run your own campaign? Some of the images below contain things that require Administrator permissions and sorry they aren't embedded images I think my user group doesn't have the right permissions. Mods/Admins help? Let's register to the PrivCoin signature campaignBut we never added a Bitcoin address to our profile, so there's no way to receive payouts!Now we added an address but not using the prescribed signature!Finally we got it right!Let's look at the users that applied, maybe we want to accept oneLet's look at the campaign overview for this weekNow I want to look up hilariousandco because I'm a nosy personHe has some invalid posts, let's see what they are and why they got shot down and by who so I can complainNow let's look at his valid posts, I want to make sure they're worth paying for!I found one that was garbage, let's remove it from his running total.Not shown here: Kicking users, approving users. What do you think? Would you pay to use this to run your own campaign and reduce manager fees? Quoted so you could see the images. As a newbie they won't show up for you. Check back in a couple of weeks and they'll be there. Just an FYI, as I'm sure you already know, these bots are really frowned upon because other crappy bots have been used. Assuming yours is the next best thing since sliced bread you shouldn't have an issue. 90% automation sounds right about where you should be. I would also suggest a public bounty offered for fidning spammers in your signature campaign.

Coinbase is one the secure wallet, there you can easily buy higher amounts of bitcoins with credit card. Another way to buy for less fee is to create a thread in currency exchange board,may be someone shall accept your card payment in exchange of btc.
If you use coinbase you'll be guaranteed to miss the ICO completely. It takes them weeks just to send you the bitcoin you purchased lol! I signed up at coinbase and made a purchase. Their commission was more than 4% though.
Why do the ICOs want us to go via bitcoin? why wouldn't they take credit card payment directly? I'm sure thee-commerce part of a website is standard off the shelf so it can't be offsetting the financial part
They want cryptocurrency because you can't get the coins back. If they end up not following through it's not a big deal to them. They already have your money.

Don't expect him to stop attacking bitcoin and others cryptocurrency as he has to work for his master's the politicians and elites who hate the freedom and equality bitcoin comes to create in the life of humanity. Jamie Dimon should continue as to me this will make bitcoin more popular and acceptable.
and speaking of other cryptocurrencies, if i am not mistaken, ethereum is backed by JP Morgan right?. A cryptocurrency that uses a the same principles that bitcoins has that he is calling fraud. Lol ethereum is nothing like bitcoin but ok. No idea if they "back" it. Actually they don't but I just genuinely have no idea what you mean. Did they invest in eth? Woop dee doo lol.

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.
Does he not realize that this is so obvious that he's threatened by a currency so far beyond his realm of understanding?
Cars are evil. They're going to kill all of the horses on the road! Lololol.

Why not go to a lending site or even *gasp* a bank? No one in their right mind will be giving you anything because they would be taking all of the risk for you in a seriously risky business.

Ah okay. I understand now. So say I have my private key in a safe place, I lost my computer or something, I can use that private key to retrieve my bitcoins?
Yep. Just import that private key into a wallet and from there you can spend them. It's just that easy! Make sure you have multiple backups in multiple locations though. If your house is blown away by a storm you don't want to be left with nothing.

Linux. Although honestly I don't think any OS changes anything at all in terms of your hacking power so it's pretty much up to personal preferences.
