"Fast Money" trader Brian Kelly breaks down the surge in the price of Bitcoin on CNBC with a final note that says that despite the rise, it is not too late to buy into the digital currency.

He says the currency had a phenomenal run this year growing in value by 100 percent even though its price chart had maintained a long outlook between 2014 until now merely moving sideways in response to big price changes.

It really depends on the encryption algorithms , If It's a two-way hashing algorithm (can be both encrypted and decrypted using a key) then It shouldn't be that hard but It could be very hard to do If its one-way hashing algorithm such as MD5 and will require brute-force / dictionary attacks. I personally would use the second kind of services If it's effective.

I highly suggest following the rules and not taking risks because you may get banned after earning a lot of money and you don't want that. I guess the faucets niche is still profitable somehow at the moment so you should give it a shoot but make sure everything is well done otherwise you will find yourself losing money against bots and macros instead of earning.

I don't want to be mean or rude or anything but I will give you my honest point of view here. I highly suggest cancelling your project, the world doesn't need any more lending or crowdfunding platforms as there are plenty of them at the moment and always people are getting scammed.
If you insist and you really want to continue then, I recommend making the platform P2P and decentralized (without the need of verifying ID , passport or address) , I mean take a look at Bitcointalk lending section , the loans are going just fine and we don't hear scams often.

There is something that I really can't understand and I want to get your thoughts about it.

It looks like for some reasons , the bitcoin community don't care about decentralization at all. I mean , If we check the forums we will see how they say they want to use decentralized websites to exchanges etc... but the truth is that no one does.
OpenBazaar which is supposed to be a decentralized marketplace is almost used by no one compared to the bitcoin userbase and this is valid for Bitsquare.io as well.
In the meanwhile , we see a lot of people providing their real infos to the exchanges just like that.. So what's wrong here?

I don't like being in the darknet stuff as It's usually involve illegal activities but usually the marketplace you are using provide you with an escrow service , If not then take a look here : https://www.deepdotweb.com/marketplace-directory/categories/marketplaces/ almost every website that deepdotweb speaks about is legit. (Reviews from users are there so read them first)

Having this idea is definitely something wrong. crypto-currencies aren't here for a long time and some of them are being developed as It takes time and If you think nothing can surpass bitcoin over the years then you should watch and wait for a disappointment because there are projects such as MaidSafe , ChronoBank and many others that have the ability to succeed.

Honestly , It looks more like a mafia work then a normal individual. I don't think paxful would do anything (If he withdrew the money then you lost every chance of getting your money back) , you still can try to proof that your local agent wasn't open at that time when the  money was picked up but I doubt that going to help.

If tomans660 was banned on Localbitcoins , how come his last seen was 32 minutes ago and I also don't think he is from Russia as his ads shows that he is doing transaction for Ruppes (India currency).

You won't find anything specific to gambling most likely but you can always modify and edit the scripts so It works with your website (all depends on the programming knowledge you have used) + have to link it with your users database. If you used NodeJS then I suggest taking a look at Socket.io : http://socket.io/get-started/chat/

I don't understand your current offer ? what we should pay for and what we are not going to pay for ? between the shipping costs , the card Itself and the activation fees ...
I'm clicking the "Order debit card" button and I get a white page with your blue logo in the middle , It turns a few times then It disappears and nothing happens (I stay in the same page)

I wouldn't use an exchange that asks for real info myself and you shouldn't too as some exchange may end up with the same case as coinbase with IRS , so I really recommend trading with individuals on the forums or using some Peer to peer platforms such as Bitsquare

If you have the backup file and the passphrase that was first giving to you when you made it then you should be able to recover the wallet even If you don't know the password otherwise , there isn't much you can do at this point.

Russia seem to have a lot of crazy stuff going on lately , this could be a normal accident but I doubt it. If the investigations shows that there is someone from the west or somewhere else involved then I guess we are closer then ever from the world war III.

I'm definitely planning to start selling at some point but I wouldn't call it an "exit point" as I won't be leaving bitcoin. I will be selling some and hodling some even for longer term. 2000$ per coin looks like a good price but hopefully I gather more bitcoins before that happens In the next few months/years.

While most mainstream outlets failed to note some of the specific factors that led to the price surge of Bitcoin, analysts at CNBC explicitly outlined three major factors which contributed to the increasing Bitcoin price. These three were:

• Increase in demand, decrease in supply
• Devaluation of yuan & rupee, and increasing capital controls
• Less than 5 mln Bitcoin left, spurring panic buyers

It's actually 12.5 BTC since the halving block reward happened last july and each 4 years It should continue to get halved. miners will get the fees instead of block rewards and that should make our bitcoins cost more since no more are being mined logically. If bitcoin doesn't get developed over the years then definitely a new altcoin could take its place. All bitcoins should be mined by 2140 and we would be all dead so you shouldn't care much anyway.

I'm with activating SegWit but I don't see it being activated honestly , at least not in the next few months. Looking at the charts[1][2] and how It's stable in 24-25% range for almost three weeks now make It very difficult to believe that It will get activated , I don't see what could change the miners mind to start supporting it at the moment.

I received an answer from KeepKey and I have added everything about except the number of units sold (they refused to provide them like Trezor did)

I'd really appreciate If someone used any of hardware wallet before and could give us his honest review here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1720884.new#new (I will be linking this thread here once we get enough hardware wallets and enough reviews/feedbacks).

I suggest making a third episode as the price is increasing right now and there is no better time to find bitcoin mentioned in the news then now. (Some famous YouTube channels are mentioning it these days too)

It's definitely not going to happen and I personally don't want it to . It's already unstable at the moment and we don't want pumping and pumping with no reason , the faster It goes up , the faster It goes down. If we could see a stability with a price increase overtime that would be great.
