I have not really bought any bitcoin in a while, i have been mostly trading this last year.  but i have been trying to buy today from localbitcoins and bittylicious and it has been a real challenge.  they want photos of me holding cards on localbitcoins and on bitty they need about 4 different forms of id, what is going on. 

this is seriously restrictive to anyone wanting to get into bitcoin,  like its meant to be pseudonymous but if the gate ways into bitcoin dont allow that people will be put off.   

As I get it, BU is going to use the same blockchain that Core now uses, right?

And if I understand that point correctly, I should have the same amount of new bitcoins as I had at the moment of the split since the new blockchain will basically use the same addresses and balances (so, nominally, I should become twice as rich). It heavily reminds me of a philosophical problem that rises when someone is copied atom by atom (split mind). So what will happen to my balances, say, in my personal wallet, Coinbase wallet, and an exchange account? Let's assume that exchanges start listing the new Bitcoin, will they recreate wallets which would match the ones in the old Bitcoin (with all their balances)? Or should I move my bitcoins to a personal wallet to prevent them from being stolen by web wallets and exchanges. I refer to new bitcoins here. It would make sense to buy up as many bitcoins as possible just before the split to get rich quick

This time, he will be unable to blame poor programming skills, because he knew about this in advance. He took the lead in this one, not

just to lose a bunch of money for a segment of the community, but for the community as a whole.

All the warning signs are there that the BU developers are doing a piss poor job with the code and he still supports them. I hope you have a ton

of excuses if this goes South. 

Nobody will really know if he lost anything in MtGox and we will also not know if he will lose anything this time. He might have already shifted his

coins to fiat or some Alt coin.

This time, people will not go easy on him, like they did last time.... He is the ring leader now, and Mark cannot be the scapegoat for this.   

What are the best investment opetions for bitcoins to be put into?
Please post here!

Agreed, day trading is much fastest in growing profit than anything else in this industry. Though, it has risk involved anyway but that's normal. every minutes there is bouncing price value happened in the trading platform, meaning you will go with flow of motion in the exchange site market, you will act like a bot more quicker than a bot something like that.

Here everyone knows that the currently the price of the Bitcoin at the peak of the sky .
But due to the increase of the price the price of less famouse altcoins are became down .
So here is a better chance to buy some altcoins?

While trading sometimes I drop back from my original plan. Such emotional decisions often bring loss cuz I tend to change orders on panic or when I mistakenly expect more potential income. How do you deal with that if you feel the same way?

I know we're talked about endless rumors and fake news of China "banning" bitcoin, but short of an absolute ban this sort of thing looks like a step in the direction we have long feared they would take. A big step.

The PBoC is apparently requiring every customer to write out how they got their bitcoin, among other things, such as explaining why they are withdrawing whenever they want to convert to fiat. Very, very intrusive stuff. The question is, how will Chinese buyers respond? Is this just business as usual when dealing with their government, or is this the sort of thing that will dry up the Chinese market for bitcoin? Or something in between?

With the coming fork, and the eventual fork itself, do any of you think that at least for a short time, that Bitcoin could crash and be replaced by Ether; with Ether exploding in price as people jump to something they see as more stable in the short term?

I could also see this having a longterm effect, since so many more will be familiar with Ether, it will eventually fall back and remain a close second to Bitcoin. Ether being Pepsi, and Bitcoin being Coke.

If I wanted to buy BCU (bitcoin unlimited) bitcoins instead of the traditional BTC (bitcoin core) bitcoins, how do I do that?  Do only certain exchanges have them currently?

Hahaha there always has to be an opposition or else what's the point of life!? How do you figure that!?

70% is still a vast majority. I'm surprised after all of this time it's still that high. Bitcoins obviously did a lot right but to take back over and be at 85 or 90% of the total cash value within cryptocurrency we'll need this whole blocksize debate to be over and done with.

future proof? its better you call bitcoin a future digital currency and i am sure it gonna be used as gold by some government. As you can see american and australian government are running auction to sell all arrested bitcoins from illegal transaction. Even government know the value of bitcoin.

There wouldn't be that many guys crying about Bitcoin if they would just learn to hold their coins and forget about the price. With all this debate about the Bitcoin Unlimited and other Altcoins getting close to Bitcoins price the distraction was pretty successful so the holders could dump their precious BTC.
Now that the price went up, the posts are now being deleted or the posters are too busy trying to purchase their coins back within Bitcoin Exchanges.
