1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin was Created by the CIA, FBI, US Military??? on: November 10, 2019, 08:52:49 PM
A more likely explanation is that hackers created Bitcoin
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What scares you the most? on: November 03, 2019, 04:32:03 PM
The fact that there are sock puppet armies of people whose goal is to spread FUD and manipulate the price of BTC to their advantage.

Really exploitative and not fair to the average person.
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Who has a NXT wallet? on: October 21, 2019, 03:09:56 AM
I want to withdraw 5500 nxt from Polo but can't because you need to include a message and it won't let you.

Any takers? I'll send first if you're trusted. Make an offer

I thought LTC looked OK around $75-100... guess not :\
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The peak, how it is determined? on: July 27, 2019, 07:27:52 PM
A short answer: the peak is determined once the first large holder decides to cash out such that it influences other holders to want to cash out.

The bigger the dump, the more likely it is the peak.

Chase works well.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The ugly side of Bitcoin on: July 01, 2019, 04:24:57 AM
What about the environmental impact of traditional payment networks? Setting up a bank account, getting monthly paper bills and promotions, the cost of hiring a human being to support your questions about their horrendous UI... it adds up quickly, bitcoin or not.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will You Advise Newbies To Enter Bitcoin Now? on: June 30, 2019, 06:39:15 PM
Yes, I would, only if they are willing to lock it up and throw away the key.

Not literally of course, who would be so stupid to do such a thing? *cough* Craig Wright *cough*
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will cryptocurrency soon be an alternate payment option? on: June 30, 2019, 01:56:50 AM
Remember the guy that spent like 100 bitcoin on a pizza? Do you really want to end up like him?

How did you know OP? I was about to get interested with your post as it seems that you can be a good source when it comes to bitcoin market price pump. Yeah it did a market price pump and I was surprise that from 10.7K surging up to 12k + usd. This OP has very interesting knowledge to share with.

Anyway, I will be checking on your post OP and hope to see more updates from you.

They probably don't have anything tangible to share, like photos of a hidden lair or something ridiculous. More like word of mouth, or maybe they're a part of it and whistle blowing Cheesy

anyway, links to an article as a source are rarely credible and usually just click baity type things.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Attack on Bitcoin on: June 28, 2019, 03:10:36 AM
You might be pointing out on hackers planning to attack exchanges and other platforms that are holding bitcoins. This attacks really make bitcoin and cryptocurrency less secured as of now. This is a long-time issues that still need to be resolved.

That's always happening and isn't BTC specific.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the reason Amazon hasn't adopted Bitcoin? on: June 28, 2019, 03:09:04 AM
Bank account is full.

Tax reasons.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Attack on Bitcoin on: June 25, 2019, 11:39:14 PM

It is possible, there are theories about a quantum computer breaking and decoding privatekey through public keys.  Though it is far from happening today but it will be a serious threat for BTC security if Bitcoin security features do not improve along the advancement of computers.

Yea but who would have access to quantum computers? They aren't exactly in mass production. A state actor? Is this what OP meant by "somewhere"...?

IBM is making System One now. Governments probably have access to something even stronger.

governments are powerful . they have lots of cash and they can order ready made quantom computers but i dont think that these computers can attack bitcoin via public address  . btw is this some kind of a brutforce ?   , if yes then they must need some part of the private key or some parts of the users passwords before they can attempt to crack it  .
If the government will seriously take part of this they can make it happen, they have all the resources and capabilities so it's better to every bitcoiners
to be well aware on their actions, it's very important to keep being updated and to keep checking the possibilities or how the government is working with this concern.

If Trump is on board with it, chances are every other global power is as well - https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr6227

What can't the Treasury print more of? You guessed it, Bitcoin.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New $35 Raspberry Pi is the Most Powerful Yet for Running a Full Bitcoin Node on: June 25, 2019, 11:21:56 PM
One small detail the article forgets to mention, you will still need at least a 256GB card and pretty soon a 512Gb one to run the full node, the package doesn't come with one and the cheapest is around 30-40$.

Funny how the site they mention http://www.raspberrypifullnode.com/ still talks about 64 gb Tongue


USB hard disk? Especially a powered dock, 2tb used is only around $20. Plenty of space for the blockchain.

Make sure it's low power. The new Pi is more power hungry.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Libra vs. Bitcoin - What's the Dif? on: June 25, 2019, 11:19:48 PM
Libra to hook into all your payments, bills, etc. And if they offer loans? Make payments or get locked out of your identity (!!!), can't pay your debts? Ok, here's your new repayment plan...

Sounds like banks on steroids.

17  Economy / Speculation / Re: John McAfee Says- If Bitcoin Breaks 100k you can bet it will break a million on: June 25, 2019, 03:12:35 AM
John McAffee will say anything for a RT.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best tips for who will invest in BTC for first time? on: June 24, 2019, 12:14:31 AM
Buy low sell high. Don't check the price all the time, too easy to get consumed by it. Don't keep your coins on exchanges like Coinbase.
19  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Do not use Coinbase on: June 23, 2019, 07:41:08 PM
So glad Coinbase didn't allow me to buy BTC in March  Roll Eyes

Next time I'll be going with Kraken.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Attack on Bitcoin on: June 23, 2019, 07:39:08 PM
Somewhere, a group is preparing an attack on Bitcoin. It will come around the next big pump. The attackers will have an exponentially large advantage of computing power. If the network isn't compromised, it will be severely damaged.
are you talking about an attack on bitcoin? what do you mean is a bitcoin dump, I don't understand the real meaning maybe if bitcoin is having an attack I think bitcoin will be able to grow back because bitcoin is a coin that is resistant to any attack.

Those who are convinced their defenses are impenetrable are the ones who fall first.
