Does WBTC will be distributed in the future again or it was one time distribution to WCT holders? If I'm not mistaken WCT tokens second distribution round is also underway?

I have not saved single bitcoin as i am depended on the bitcoin earning so what ever i earn i keep 20% for sports trading and balance i convert it to fiat currency to meet daily expenses of my family. It is like a online job for me to work on this forum and earn bitcoins as salary.

Wow, great that you can earn your living and help your family with daily expenses. How much do you earn per month from this forum if it is not a secret? Do you earn only from signature campaigns? Sports betting?
924  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: February 10, 2017, 01:52:19 PM
I have sold some stuff and art objects I had in my collection to get a few BTC. Last year from trading I have earned about 5 BTC from my initial 100 EUR investment. It was a huge success because the price of BTC was stable and not rising. This year Bitcoins rises as never before and all the alt market is crashing. I do not see a lot of opportunity to earn from trading while price of BTC is so high. But I was lucky to earn free Byteballs from my BTC savings. Now I have BTC and Byteballs. Two projects are different but the most important in crypto to track.
925  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin without Altcoin ? on: February 10, 2017, 12:57:30 PM
I just wanted to get your opinions on this one , what do you think Bitcoin would be if there was no Alternative coins such Litecoin & Dogecoin and the others ...
I mean it would be better with or without them Bitcoin would have no value at all ?
In my opinion the users of bitcoin will results into down and most of the bitcoiner will think to exit bitcoin work .
Because in the bitcoin the only one and one way to make money is only trading .
You can think yourself easily because if no altcoin exists in the online money world then it became a complicated task to make money through bitcoin only .
So here altcoins are the main factor of the bitcoin and earning of bitcoin is mainly due to the altcoins .
Herr we can say bitcoin is only a way of payment to make deals between altcoin and nothing .
So people will take less interest in bitcoin if the bitcoin  remain in online market without altcoins .
I doubt it will affect Bitcoin in a bad way. The creation of Bitcoin made the idea for other Altcoin to be out in the market. And that existence did not devalue Bitcoin in anyway. And I think if there is no Altcoins in the market Bitcoins price will go Up because the demand for all of the crypocurrency will be only for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin being the prototype cryptocurrency has exceed expectations of different individuals. And indeed bitcoin has become stronger that it doesnt need any alternative coins to exist. That even the disappearance of alternative coins could bring more intense price increase towards bitcoin. But alternative coins are also a good thing to happen to cryptocurrency that allows bitcoin to be more alive in trading.

Bitcoin was before any altcoin occured on the scene. I'm almost sure that 99% of altcoins are scam and will dissapear in the future. Technically you can add all the features: privacy, speed, security etc, to Bitcoin network and there is no need for a lot of competing altcoin. That is not to say that Bitcoin is perfect. I mean that we can implement, for example, Monero features on BTC and there is no need for XMR. But new technology, not using blockchain! are developed as well. So, we need new technologies because they are implementing advanced features Bitcoin currently doesn't have and it seems will not have in the future (huge capacity of TXs per second, AML/KYC features for business, instant TXs, privacy etc.). In this context we need projects innovating outside the field of blockchain, for example, Byteball. But in the area of blockchain innovations are also needed, for example, NEM project has many advantages over BTC network. Just check it.

Very good news for long term investors to get Lykke with discount. I will take my part in this round as I have very ambitious goals to collect as many Lykke shares, as I can afford myself.
927  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make governments accept bitcoin? on: February 10, 2017, 09:55:57 AM
It will happen naturally, if Bitcoin rally continues. I think that Chinese governement is buying Bitcoin secretly, manipulating the price and pushing it down intentionally. AML is bullshit, if you consider timing of their action:

Quote
Some bitcoin community members see this latest move by the PBOC as another way of China manipulating the bitcoin price. Considering the market was on track to set a new all-time high bitcoin price yesterday morning, the news came in at a time during which traders were seemingly willing to push the bitcoin price up even more. In the course of a few hours, bitcoin’s value dropped by quite a bit and is still trying to recover from this debacle.

looks like its taking a move on trex right now

I think the 300k peak of a year ago would actually make a lot of sense now. Such a value would get us in the top 25 what would be justified with this project.

Your words in the case would, I hope very much that would Expanse even increased by 50k, I will then very happy, because I bagholder EXP for a long time, in the pump's expectations at 120k very direct buy these coins, and now Do not know what to do

How much have you paid for EXP?

929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Expanse (EXP) - Blockchain powered immutable cloud computer on: February 09, 2017, 03:00:28 PM
i will buy some

Great I would hold a lot to benefit from the upcoming releases for dpos/pow and bonds.

All these efforts will help you earn EXP and you can earn tremendous profits if you hold long enough.

Nice!
I will do the same way to earn EXP. :-)

Could you educate me how to earn more EXP? I don't mine but if there are other methods I will try them to earn more. I think now is good momement to enter the market. My long term prediction of EXP price - 0.01 BTC is possible.

This is only a fanboy dream of greedy altcoiners that missed the Bitcoin train. Out of >1000 currencies, maybe 2 are worth a second look. Monero is nice for anonymity/fungibility, but that will only make it illegal (if regulated). You also have the centralized Fed 2.0 shitcoin ETH. Besides that, I don't see anything worth the time of serious people.

Remember me how much transacions can scale Bitcoin per second? Is it suitable for micropayments to pay in coffe shop or just to buy some food? Even hookers don't want to accept Bitcoins!
Do you think Bitcoin blockchain is superior and can echo the needs of businesses? If you think so, take a look at NEM blockchain project. If you are tech friendly, you'll understand that Bitcoin blockchain is backwards and going in wrong direction.
I'm not against Bitcoin but I see a lot of unresolved problems, centralization and concentration of BTC in the hands of exchanges and speculators. So, the only purpose of BTC, I can envisage today, is pure speculation. Someone can also point to store of value. Yes, if WW3 starts, BTC is undoubted the best option as it is not physical.
931  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! on: February 09, 2017, 01:40:50 PM
Damn, have you seen this guy selling his house for Litecoin?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v5y3icu6YY

I do know that with SegWit Litecoin could jump up a little bit but to sell house for any crypto, it is kind of stupid.  

By the way, despite I'm in crypto not the first year, but never considered to buy some LTC. Now I bought some with my friend and we tested it P2P. It works perfectly  Smiley So, I really think that LTC is undervalued. It has infrastructure, stable mining pools, hashrate and merchants. It is quite stable in terms of US dollar.
932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage on: February 09, 2017, 12:52:31 PM
I very like Sia because I think they are a whole changing project in the industry of cloud storage. More greats news come from the partnership with Minebox. This startup can could increase the reliability of storing data on the Sia network: http://bit.ly/2lu5sem
933  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: February 09, 2017, 11:57:27 AM
The best you can do is to not to allow yourself for desperate need of money. But if such a situation happens, I will prefer to borrow form my family members or friends. It also depends on how much do you want to get and what do you want to do with your borrowings. If you need only for life and food expenses the best option is to borrow from family members and friends as they know you and, possibly, will help you. But if you want a large sum of money then you should borrow from the lending company or P2P lending platform that is offering the best rates.
934  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin for the rich, not the poor on: February 09, 2017, 10:30:54 AM
You are totally wrong. Bitcoin is not for the riches or the poor, it's not divisible like the services you are mentioning. Bitcoin is decentralized , that means no one controls it, different from the services you have put up in your pictures.  Rich and poor have nothing to do with it, Bitcoin is for everyone who likes this technology. Some adopt it immediately and are happy with it(that blonde in first class), some continue to use that train in your last picture (i.e use FIAT).

I agree with you that Bitcoin is not for the riches or the poor people. All the dynamics shows that Bitcoin is the best for speculators and continues to rise only because of that pumped harder by media hype. Also the so-called Bitcoin angel investors are concerned about the price BTC, naturally, they are trying to push it up. But Bitcoin is not suitable for microtransactions and mass adoption. Other crypto will take a lead in the future. Created or still to be created in the future. 
935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So who the hell is still supporting BU? on: February 09, 2017, 10:11:01 AM



I'm waiting for franky to get a panic attack, and write 10 paragraphs on how Segwit does not improve anything. Roll Eyes Cheesy

SegWit or BU are only short term decisions and improvments. I'm sure that in long term Bitcoin will be replaced by the other leading crypto. You can resent, you can steam but Bitcoin is still number 1 because it has first movers advantage and a lot of speculation driving price up. As Google hasn't appeared in the first days of internet, the same is in crypto. Improved and sophisticated projects are underway. Differently from BTC they will have advantage to learn from their predecessors mistakes.

So who the hell is still supporting BU?

I support BU.  

Bitcoin Unlimited is a tool to allow node operators and miners to more easily configure their nodes' blocksize limits and signal their preferences to the network.  This is what we need right now.
There's not so many people like you who supports Unlimited. It has so many flaws and It's not been even tested properly. Why do you think the minority may dictate the majority?

Quote
minority may dictate the majority?

This is what Core does, Core wants to rule everyone, and decide for 100% what bitcoin is and does, and what direction it takes.  

BU wants to give power to miners and nodes, and therefore brings bitcoin back to its original design. A lot more people have power, and everyone can get power, because everyone can buy a miner and run a node. But it does take an investment. So it's kind of "Proof of stake" and that's a good thing. Because it makes sure that the people who call the shots have an investment in bitcoin and want bitcoin to succeed, otherwise they lose their invested money.  

The Core devs haven't invested anything except time into bitcoin. And if bitcoin fails the Core devs can still get a job in the tech industry, so they don't have anything to lose. However, the miners invested millions of dollars, and if bitcoin fails, they will have lost millions of dollars in mining hardware that is now useless. Therefore, miners should decide the future of bitcoin, not the core devs.  
This is also how satoshi designed bitcoin in the first place.

Probably it is a perfect time for Satoshi Nakamoto to give some comments on what he/they are thinking about BC and BU and what direction is the best for Bitcoin. I agree with you that miners who invested in Bitcoin mining their own financial resources are directly interested in BTC success, while core developers have only good training with BTC development and they can exit any time and leave it. Bitcoin was designed as a decentralized digital currency but now it seems that it is more and more centralized everyday. Core developers are meeting behind the closed doors. It reminds me meetings of the leading banks and financial corporations who are making decisions secretly. Users and holders of BTC do not have any impact on the development. They are thrown out of it. I don't support this and if it continues, I'm sure that we'll see Bitcoin killer app to overcome all the problems of developing and governance.  
937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Gulden a good investment? on: February 08, 2017, 01:53:00 PM
Gulden is designed for the Netherlands and I'm not scare about supply or premine issue. It was a nice pump last year and the upcoming elections could push the price up similarly as it happened with Aurora coin during the elections in Iceland. In my opinion Gulden is good as for speculation (trading) as well as for usage (if you're living in the Netherlands).

939  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping on: February 08, 2017, 11:15:08 AM

This is good news, more investment by solid industry players.  Gives more confidence to us little people holding the FCT Smiley

Waiting for a solid wallet now ...

Great, factom received funding again, it is another $750000 round fund invested. So far factom has received 2000 BTC from crowdfunding, and VC, factom keeps delivering, and make the software to support banks for further using.

Factom was one of the best projects to invest from the very start. Early investors are in great profits today. There are positive signs for future growth as well but all depends on adoption of the technology and successive funding rounds. I have a strong position of FCT in my portfolio. I bought a lot when the price was below $1 and forum was crying of crashing FCT  Grin
940  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alt coins worth buying on: February 08, 2017, 10:39:26 AM
I want to pay some attention to NEM project. It is one of the best bockchains on the market still to be discovered in near future. Developers are hard working and community is strong, growing everyday. I have strong confidence that NEM will succeed.
As for other altcoins, there are many interesting projects and many scam-shit coins. We need time to sort the things out. I expect more projects to come in the future as they have advantage to learn from the mistakes of crypto pioneers.
