No.  However, I consider it far more important to provide a reference for the second part than the first, as that's something that should require an explanation.

The OP has posted in Chinese recently, and used to post in it before the recent change in attitude.  If the OP really wants to prove that his account was not compromised he could sign from the address 1Ed7y6jGzXgA42Vsbvd9oB7Pzt5SsJQi7e, but I consider it fairly unlikely that the account was compromised.

What's more likely is that the OP was an alt account of someone who has recently been opposed to Lauda, and has now begun to argue using that account as well.  Especially since 99.9% of people who post in Games and Rounds are alt accounts.

According to the 2011 consensus it's half of that.  Don't just make up numbers.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_London
He has a name you know.  He's Sadiq Khan, and has been a pretty decent mayor as of yet.
Nice little Freudian slip there.  Plenty of people like you like to claim not to be racist and just against Muslims, but Muslims are sometimes white as well.  You're assuming that Muslims are anyone you see with darker skin.

There's a pretty damn strong correlation though.  Rising volume indicates that there's an increasing amount of hype which usually means that there will be a breakout one way or another.  In the midst of a bull market, there's not much chance of increasing volume being bearish.

The effect of halvings on the price is overestimated IMO.  It mainly just decreases how much the miners need to dump on the market.
I love when "realistic" means "this is just like any other investment! Bitcoin isn't known for wild swings in price or anything!".

An investment firm related to Google has invested in one of Blockchain.info's funding rounds, the last of which was in 2014.

PayPal is not "avoiding Bitcoin", in the slightest.  Instead, they're trying hard to stay relevant in comparison.

Not "avoiding Bitcoin", just "not Bitcoin".  Key distinction there.

But there's a very important difference.  By the time that Bitcoin was a significant project and the biggest bugs had been ironed out, satoshi no longer had any influence (post-December 2010).

Vitalik has a huge amount of power and responsibility as a public figure.  With the amount of control that he has over Ethereum to dictate its entire future, it's clear that he should be personally questioned and scrutinised.

Furthermore, when there are elements of ETH that appear problematic, like the scaling problems that it's experiencing similarly to Bitcoin, it's reasonable to think that when Vitalik is willing to take people's money for things he can't do, he might be out his depth with this one as well.

Because the US has been almost constantly at war since it's inception, and in the past 50 years or so has started more wars than I can think of.

Deaths from guns are also very common, not that the NRA would admit that.  

Even though the US doesn't tend to be on the receiving end of attacks, there can be a lot of hate crime and unsettling behaviour, especially from governments.

Really depends on what you think peace is for a country.  The US often does not contribute to peace.

Regardless of what you think of r/Bitcoin (I also think that censorship is prominent there and that both r/Bitcoin and r/BTC are complete echo chambers for their respective sides), Bitcointalk is pretty free and the moderators are very hands-off.

Actually, it's hilarious to see threads with >100 pages of posts for a thread from someone who can't speak English, even when the threads basically only have 2 answers.

Despite the crap trust system, opponents to SegWit are pretty freely vocal as well.

Personally, I have a TREZOR.  Not too familiar with Ledger or Keepkey but I think they're somewhat similar to it.

No.  TREZOR holds your private keys and xan sign transactions.  It has to connect to a computer for you to spend from an interface, but TREZOR have took a lot of cool precautions which stop you from revealing a lot on your computer screen, and it also acts as a kind of 2fa device.
Hard to say.  A benefit is that they're very easy to set up with additional passphrases, hidden wallets and other features which make it almost impossible to steal your coins.

However, a slight point of failure could be updates.  Verify the SatoshiLabs' signed message before updating, and make sure to check places like the TREZOR thread and subreddit to make sure the updates are not malicious.

It also depends on how you generate your paper wallet and where you store it.  Hard to make a reasonable comparison.

At every point some analyst will tell you it can't go any further, but media outlets are just looking for some clickbait.  I bet the majority of analysts are fairly neutral.

That said, the negative analysts' predictions can easily be right.  People like to be excessively positive about the Bitcoin price as if they have to when they're posting on a Bitcoin forum, but while these analysts >5 year predictions are most likely wrong, their short term predictions are often considered properly.

Bitcoin is overbought.  It's either headed for a bubble post-SegWit or it'll relax for a while.

Bitcoin transactions are not reversible.  Unfortunately you could only get back your money if:

-They sent it back because they're lovely people (unlikely);
-They got caught by authorities and were forced to give it back (unusual/unlikely/criminals tend to keep their coins safe);
-You're secretly a miner with over 50% of the hashrate and you could reverse your own transactions.   

Sorry but you're most likely not getting your coins back.

Livecoin were listing absolute bottom-of-the-barrel shitcoins, as well as some potential scamcoins.

Either they're in bed with scammers, they are scammers or they're turning into YoBit where you can only just do anything and you only trade there to grab some Theresa May Coin.

We're still deep in the middle of a bull market.

The good news that SegWit signalling could be imminent when they actually need to is going to push the price up higher within a month.  After that who knows.

Technical analysis is utter bullshit anyway.  The charts are just a representation of market activity.  The more technical analysts that are involved, the less fundamentals actually determine the value of Bitcoin and the more the price is just empty speculation.  Not to mention the fact that it's essentially gambling because people have different ideas on it.

It's hilarious to see these people gambling their money on a bear market being really soon based on nothing.

For now, Bitcoin ATMs aren't much good.  They're nice as a concept, but ordinary ATMs just transfer between fiat and digital fiat.  We're talking about a new currency altogether.

The fees on these things must be an absolute godsend to their owners.  The ones in my area have fees of >5%, and sometimes even >10%.

For anything other than a gimmick, it's not that significant.  Just buy online or on LocalBitcoins.

That said, hopefully it helps to raise awareness of Bitcoin in the local area.

Feathercoin... I rest my case.

Still, I agree with most of this.

1.  Bitcoin (40%)
2.  Byteball (15%)
3.  MaidSafe (10%)
4.  Litecoin (15%)
5.  Monero (10%)
6.  I get lost in the world of shitcoins after about there.  ETH is not recommended, it might stay up for now but from an objective standpoint it's basically trash.

Always keep majority in BTC.  If you find that a couple of them are low afterwards, find out more about them.

Warren Buffet has always told people not to invest in things they don't understand.  In that case, I suppose he's following his own rules by not investing in Bitcoin.

But he really needs to set himself some boundaries as to what he says about it.

What he actually did call Bitcoin is a "mirage" and argued that it didn't have intrinsic value.

The difference is that Bill Gates could actually get a significant portion of that money out in a pinch.  Market caps for currencies, especially Bitcoin, are largely meaningless in this case because in reality a few billion would absolutely throw BTC off a cliff at this point.

What people need to recognise is that we're deep in the innovator phase of the adoption curve, at the very least in terms of money.

Just goes to show how much upward potential blockchain technology has when its real applications (not current ICO hype)become more apparent.

Did you even read the damn article? This is about the company Blockchain, running the blockchain.info wallet and block explorer.

My view is that every single company in the crypto space has decided that they can get millions from doing nothing.  Any ICO with a nice website and white paper can get millions with no real effort.  Blockchain.info is only different because they have bigger names behind the investment.

Like all Bitcoin companies (I would have said blockchain companies), they're not short of cash. They claimed that their revenues were going to be over 1000% in the past year, yet they couldn't afford to go and make normal fee estimation when it was needed?  It really is shocking.

I guess they need their third homes and hundred thousand BTC yachts before they decide to act like a reasonable or responsible private company.

It's obviously about privacy-centric individuals.  It's a mixer, that's what they do.

There's a distinction between privacy-centric individuals and criminals.  A privacy centric individual could be a rich person who doesn't want to reveal the funds in their address, for example.  A criminal would want to avoid anything which could potentially result in them getting traced.  This includes telegram bots.

If it really matters, people will not use it because they're not idiots when they're talking about large sums of money.  When it matters less, Telegram is fine.  It's not like they could access your funds.

The clock is ticking for miners.  If they've already agreed to activate SegWitx2 when they can, they can't really back out of it.  People would get pissed off and UASF would look a lot more realistic than it did before.

EC/BU is irrelevant because support has flatlined while SegWitx2 support is now soaring.

It's a shit source but this is an opinion piece rather than actual news.  We should consider the arguments made instead of what source there is for the limited information they provide.

Bitcoin is heading for at least one split if you ask me.  Will that cause a price drop?  Yes, in the short term.  Will it cause "The Flippening"?  Maybe for a little while in terms of market cap, but it won't actually matter.

I tend to regard google trends as the best indicator of "the flippening" anyway, and ETH isn't anywhere near bitcoin if you measure it that way instead.


Bullish outcome, bearish event IMO.
