If there is one positive thing to take away from the US Presidential elections, it is the increased bitcoin price. No matter who won, the Bitcoin price was poised to go up as a result. Stock markets around the world have gone in the red already, despite showing signs of recovery. As Americans let themselves get Trumped, Bitcoin users are watching events unfold with a smile on their faces.
Financial turmoil is daily news these days, and things only get worse over time. The 2016 US Presidential elections shook up quite a few markets before the voting even began. Additionally, the repercussions of President Trump’s victory remain yet to be determined. One thing’s for sure, the Bitcoin price is going up, which hardly surprises anyone.

Digital currency exchange Gemini announced yesterday that it is opening its services to traders in South Korea and Japan.
The move comes just over a year after Gemini first opened its doors in New York. The exchange, which had been in the works since early 2015, came online following its successful bid for a bank charter. Yet the exchange struggled to find traders following its launch, and may be looking past US shores in a bid to attract more activity.
Customers in both countries will have access to bitcoin and ether trading, both markets of which will trade against the US dollar. South Korean and Japanese customers will also have access to Gemini's daily bitcoin auction.

Bitcoin prices have steadily risen since the counting of votes in the US presidential race began, climbing more than 3 percent as Republican Donald Trump appears close to pulling off an electoral upset.
The price of bitcoin is hovering around $737 after rising from a low of $709 when polls in the Eastern US began to close, according to the CoinDesk USD Bitcoin Price Index. CNY markets are up 2.4%, reaching ¥4,959.11 at press time.Polls prior to the vote on Tuesday pointed to a likely win for Democrat Hillary Clinton. But with the results rolling in, Trump's chances for success have grown.

For my opinion, is it safe to keep all your bitcoins in one desktop wallet but your computer must be safe from viruses or malware and also encrypted with passwords. For online wallets, I do not think they are very secure as I do not have the full control of the wallet. I cannot get the private keys on the online wallet sometimes. They also might discloses information to a third party as the service can associate your payments together, log your IP address and know your real identity if you provide personal information like your email, name or banking account. So choose your wallet carefully.

Good luck though as now the price of bitcoin is going up and going down quite frequently. But since you have the plan of selling your Apple iPhones here, just create a thread or topic about it like others on the forum. Maybe also get a escrow (maybe?) because your account is quite new i guess. Show proof of your company and transparency. And make sure they are not fake iPhones or replica of iPhones also. I like your idea of trying out new things to make your business bloom. Good luck on your sales of iPhones here on the forum!

1. Always research the sites. Look for reviews or something.
2. Look at the sites. If you look at the site and there is something suspicion going on at the site. Stay away from it.
3. Double check the domain, is it a replica of other websites.
4. SSL certificate. Check if the website have SSL certificate. Because SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins.
5. Common sense. If the sites says double or even triple your btc, do you think something is wrong? Obviously there is. Which kind soul on earth would double your btc for free Hence, always use your common sense and think.

Bitcoin, the popular digital currency had a few great weeks on the market as its price surged from mid $600s to over $700. The increase attributed to increasing demand from the Chinese market saw an abrupt end after unconfirmed reports stated that the Chinese government will soon be implementing measures to prevent capital flows in the form of Bitcoin or other digital currencies.
With Bitcoin price currently staying a bit under the $700 mark, the digital currency may soon find itself in a favorable spot, thanks to the Latin American nation of Venezuela. The speculation of another round of price rise is based on the current economic situation in the country and Latin America overall. The currency of Venezuela, bolivar has lost most part of its value in the past few months. As the economy weakens, bolivar is now trading at almost 50% less against US dollar compared to the beginning of this year.

People seem to collect all kinds of statistics related to the Bitcoin protocol. Interestingly enough, one of the currency’s largest milestones was overlooked by just about everyone. On September 2nd, 2016, the Bitcoin blockchain surpassed the S$100bn mark in Bitcoin volume transferred since its inception. Quite an achievement for this “niche market,” and hopefully, a sign of better things to come.
Statistics like these always have to be taken with a slight grain of salt, though. Granted, the Bitcoin protocol did indeed surpass US$100bn in transaction volume. However, a fair amount of those transfers come from change addresses, which somehow skews the numbers a bit. Then again, it is still a magnificent feat for a currency very few people give a chance at success.

Following several healthy weeks, bitcoin has fallen to about $705 from a high of $740, and investors aren’t happy. The new rules that China is possibly implementing would limit bitcoin trading by preventing exchanges from transferring funds to platforms outside Chinese borders.
There would also be restrictions on how much one sends or receives. These moves are all part of an ongoing attempt to bring the yuan’s value back to normalcy. The currency recently experienced its lowest point in six years, and regulators feel banning bitcoin is the ultimate solution.
The good news is that these are all simply classified as “rumors.” The bad news is that bitcoin’s price has dropped, and if the Chinese rumors are false, then we’re no closer to finding the true cause of the drop.

Bitcoin reached its all time high daily trading volume at $5 bln earlier this week, primarily because of the current regulatory policies on Wealth Management Products in China. The rapid surge in daily trading volumes allowed the Bitcoin price to reach a multi-month high, surpassing $733 in most markets.

It's happening again. Bitcoin has locked step with gold and taken to the skies as uncertainty about the U.S. election increases volatility in global markets. It is, in short, acting as a haven.The last time this happened was in the run-up to the U.K. referendum on European Union membership. Then, my colleague, Tim Culpan, and I argued that digital currencies can't be taken home and stored in a vault.

I cannot have a paypal account because I am under 18. As well as the atm part, and parents do not want me to have such things at a young age. Hence i am stuck in this situation. I need to wait a few years for me to use paypal. But thanks for your suggestion and help.

Cool but it's kinda of risky as my parents brought stuff from aliexpress and not generic products got shipped to my parents. So I don't kinda trust aliexpress. But thanks for your recommendation and your help!

Sad to say but i tried but vcc needs to be 18+(I am not 18+. Do not judge please.). But thanks for the help.


For Alibaba, i am scared of buying not genuine electronics or getting scammed. Not say that every product on there is not legit but i want to play it safe. Then it might take quite a longer time. Thanks for your help!

Potentially, Africa’s huge unbanked population combined with the burdensome process of opening and operating a bank account should make Bitcoin an instant hit.
However, its adoption has been irritatingly slow even though the basic infrastructure is not missing. It is estimated that by the end of this decade that 80 percent of the continent’s more than 1.2 bln population would be using Smartphones.
Then what hinders Bitcoin penetration in Africa? Cointelegraph spoke about it with experts in the cryptocurrency community on the so-called dark continent.
