That's really a great news to see that we are gaining momentum but still, this is just a single step towards global crypto based economy. Here is the summary of transaction volume of various payment methods, even though the data is old but still it gives a little idea of where we stand today and there is a lot more to achieve. I am sure that in next 10 years Bitcoin will be number 1 choice for the worldwide payment transfers. Great chart and a nice to see visually where we are at in comparison to others. What would make a huge difference is if more online marketplaces like EBAY would initiate an option to pay with Bitcoin. Buyers and sellers who are not currently using Bitcoin would possibly consider entering the market.

Its certainlg all about timing and being Able to buy bitcoin when the price falls like We just had in the last 24 hours, but you Have to be checking at least every 12 hours. A lot can change in 12 bitcoin hours.

"And we are back" erm yea of course we are Bitcoin started recovering about 12 hours ago! i wonder how many people are now hitting themselves on the head for selling and waking up now to a price higher than they sold at panic over, nothing to see, move along

Good news for bitcoin for sure ! and great to see more adoption too. Im not sure what exactly the Co-living thing is, if anyone wants to read about "the collective" that is mentioned in the article here is their site> https://www.thecollective.co.uk/our-storyI am reading through their story get a better handle on it. They might be accepting Bitcoin but more interestingly, is anyone spending with them?

"The DEATH of Bitcoin Surfaces Again" the answer is YES and NO Yes, the FUD has spread and people are buying the low's while others are panicking and selling in cast they are left holding worthless coinage. No, its not the death of Bitcoin, of course its going to react to the panic selling as above but will [has] bounce back from all the reactive buying of the lows simple!

I think it might be good for new positive legitimate innovations in cryptocurrency and hopefully they will be able to get proper investments.
The only thing is we dont necessarily want "regulation" but if we as a crypto community cannot regulate it ourselves, then this will happen.

i see now on bittrex that the old reliable's are making a recovery from the China ICO news. The sad thing about this is that even the really good ICO's will be affected by the China ban, There will probably be a "Legitmate" way to create new positive Blockchain technologies without the need for an ICO

We do not need just the governments to be enemies to Bitcoiners. Scammers, bad developers, thieves, hackers, aggressive market manipulators, day traders/scalpers and pump and dump groups are also the enemies within. Unless we can curb all the bad influences inside of Bitcoin and Altcoin spaces, do not think for one moment that all this will be left so unregulated and unnoticed. If we cannot self regulate our actions to act responsibly and not be so utterly ruthless and selfish in our quest for wealth creation, then we will end up being regulated by bigger forces than us.
good analysis IMO, the Bitcoin and Crypto decentralisation and unregulation is proving to be its negative feature instead of its positive one. Sometimes it feels like we are all left to our own devices and anything goes. Now we have a major world government stepping in to a degree to try and regulate of sorts a portion of the chaos.

I think the panic in the market now from the recent China ICO news can only benefit in the medium to long term Bitcoin and the other "long" established currencies, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Monero.

switch to something like communism! where the state provides you will all you need and nothing else :-)
The barter system worked at the time because you would barter an item for something you "Needed" and the other party "Needed" what you were bartering.
we are edging ever closer to a kind of money-less society or cashless society anyway, I rarely use "Cash" anymore, its all online or plastic, paying bills, transferring funds and buying goods with a card.
I believe the newer generations will pick up crypto quicker because of this.

Someone mentioned this site to me at the weekend and of course if you want to double check anything about Crypto . . . you have to visit BCT! Thanks for the heads up all, I think I will be steering clear

I think I can spare my few extra EThereum on this project . Quite impressive as it tackles on platforms for tokenizing real-life assets. I am going to keep an eye on Jibrel .
For sure, this has good potential, there should be More activity on the lead into the ICO on september the 25th

Good result, very well done to LogoGuy, good professional looking design and thank you to Keizer010 for posting the contest!

I firmly believe that almost all of the airdrop BCH will end up as BTC in the long run. We are seeing BTC climbing steadily while BCH had remained king of static with even a little fall back.
I dont think its a good thing either to keep forking and yes there is another fork scheduled for November I believe.

I do not know anyone who uses ltc, but maybe in the future. I think paying a gift with ltc is a great idea, we see the price of ltc in the market is quite high and this coin is stable.
Personally I dont know anyone who uses Bitcoin or Litecoin but I have both! Litecoin I thought would be another way to receive a bounty. I have also noticed on different signature campaigns where the manager has to reduce the rewards as the price of Bitcoin rises, Which I dont dispute because I know there are budgets to adhere to etc.

Ok some very good designs posted here now. I believe today marks the end of submissions and the winner should be announced soon although possibly not today though?

Thanks again for the extra comments.
OMG its a board I have not visited, the "Coin Exchange" section is very interesting and I think I may be in luck, so thanks again I will make a final post here to confirm how the transaction goes
**EDIT I made a small transaction via the coin exchange board and all went well

I can do this! I have actually opened a seperate thread looking buy with paypal. I have a coinbase account and want to buy BTC with Paypal.

Thanks Koadharber Ok I tried Paxful.com and the least expensive rate I could source via PAYPAL was the following:
Minimum is 10 EUR Maximum trade 50 EUR It costs you $1.8 for each dollar Rate 7167.31 EUR per bitcoin (you can buy any fraction of bitcoin)
so as has already been mentioned above the exchange rates with paypal transactions are just far too high and I suspect localbitcoins will be the same.
|
|
|
Thanks for the replies everyone! I have learned something new in this regard anyway today Ok I will check out Localbitcoins and Paxful, If I dont see anything appealing I will just Withdraw the funds and buy crypto from my Bank account as normal.
