Buy or develop your own time machine and go back to 2008 and mine BTC on the computer at your mothers house in the basement

Who in the world controls the bitcoin? I don't understand where it appeared and how it began to be one of the official currencies?
Who controls the course of Bitcoin?

Hi
Is there anything like this which will help me to use Bitcoin in my daily life.Like we have a map on the app or web.It shows people nearby you that are accepting bitcoin and services.Like someone living nearby Mcdonalds, he will add that i will accept bitcoin and let you eat at Mcdonalds(you pay him bitcoins..he gives cash to you).Same as traveling people nearby you add their services that for which things they can accept bitcoin.

Is there anything like this already.

Ive been messing about with the vanity gen and made a few addresses i like . It would be interesting to see the best ones everyone else has.

Like a Phoenix from the ashes

So for the last days I've tried to sell my services on the market place: signature, twitter posts and digital content.

Finding clients to pay with Bitcoins is terrible hard! People don't want to spend their coins too easy and many are just keeping their coins.

I believe BTC will succceed but this is a major issue!

If we want things to change I think bringing it to a lower value may be the way... so people can spend it more easily... ok don't rush to argue I want it to be $10,000 but this makes me believe nobody will spend a cent then.

Probably it was more fun spending it in the early days, too bad I wasn't an early adopter - believe it or not I only found out about it in 2013.

I've experienced the same thing with Dogecoin, even if it's lower value people aren't are too eager to spend their coins.

I have see this in reddit



https://np.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/44sgnm/bitcoins_in_steam_coming_soon/#oo

it seems that Steam prepare their systems to accept bitcoin payments through Bitpay. This is big news for gaming community and for Bitcoin image because we talk for the most popular gaming pc platform.

For whom who are panicking now. Bitcoin has already died <88> times so far.

Is there any bank/financial institution somewhere in the world that has embraced Bitcoin? Not that I'd deposit my money there, I'm just curious to know it.

I've just bought a physical Bitcoin. Of course it doesn't have any monetary value, but it still looks great. Furthermore, I think it can be a very good way to introduce BTC to your family/friends: seeing it as a physical coin, I think they are more likely to become interested in "knowing more" about it. Who knows?



Do you have any physical Bitcoins?

I've got like 0.3 something Bitcoin remaining, not sure what to do with it.
I have a Bitcoin debit card so I could just go withdraw it but that's not very fun 
Any ideas?

So are you holding your bitcoins for future events such as halving or you more like to spend your bitcoins when you get it? I personally like to spend it for digital goods usually...

Is this a good way to generate income or is it a better way to clog a public forum with nonsense commenting?

I'm scared that if I start ad campaigning, I start spewing non-sensical garbage just to try to get a gambling addict to click my ad so I can get a fraction of a coin. Has this happened to you??

Finally, I was thinking about getting a job so that I could support myself and contribute to society, but part of me wants to be a piece of shit and try to get BTC by enticing gambling addicts to click a link on my excessive commenting throughout a forum. Has this happened to you? Are you a piece of shit without anything real to contribute except pure selfishness??

What are your thoughts?  All ad campaigners welcome to comment so that I can ignore you and hopefully sift the wheat (if any remains) from the chaff on this site.

Europe targets 500 euro bill as it fights terrorism

In the wake of the Paris attacks, European officials are stepping up their efforts to choke off funding for terrorists by going after large banknotes, virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and pre-paid cards.

“We have to ‘follow the money’ and cut off the resources these groups use to carry out their heinous crimes,” said Frans Timmermans, a senior official at the European Commission.

“By hitting them in their pockets we reduce their ability to travel, to buy weapons and explosives, to hide in our towns and cities, and to spread hate and fear online.”

Europe’s top law enforcement officials say the 500 euro banknote (worth about $546) makes life easier for criminals.

So I was watching videos on youtube and I came accross to a video regarding the facts about bitcoin. I saw there that every halving the reward block is halve right? And so the rewards that the miner will get will decreased. My question is what will happen to the miners if there will be no more coins to mine? Since there is only a limit on how many bitcoins can be produced, a time will come that mining will put on stop. What will happen to the bitcoin price if then?

I thought this deserves more attention! Is that a breakthrough for Bitcoins?

A forumer here had successfully traded his bitcoins for a car. In the process, he encountered a couple of scammers but he managed to shoo them away. So now we know it is possible to purchase a car with bitcoins.

What's next? Trade BTC for a house?

Put another way, if you could go back in time to before BTC was launched and suggest changes to the original code to Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you suggest?

I don't know about you guys, but more and more often I find myself dealing with numbers like 0.004 BTC, 0.05 BTC, etc. in everyday transactions. I hate decimals and I think most of you are in the same boat as me. Our brain works much better with whole numbers. Given that 1 mBTC is in the same order of magnitude as 1 USD, why don't we start measuring our transactions in mBTC?
