Following a fork – Magnr does not intend to support two separate Bitcoin blockchains. Instead we will favour the blockchain that holds the greatest value by market capitalisation. We will use this metric to determine which chain to continue building our business around. We expect this to be the chain which maintains the highest level of Tier 1 liquidity in the period following the fork.
The majority of Magnr clients use Bitcoin as an investment seeking to pursue the highest financial return possible. It is our pledge to maintain as much asset value as possible on behalf of Magnr’s clients. To read our full statement on our approach to the hard fork hit up the link below: https://magnr.com/blog/bitcoin/bitcoin-fork/Regardless of the outcome, in a time of heated debate, we would like to acknowledge and thank everyone in the community for pushing the ideals and values they believe in. Lets all unite and remember that we are all on the same sides despite differences in opinions. Stay safe during the fork! |

Hi Bitcointalk, Hope you are all well. We're after your help. We are a UK based Bitcoin startup that is always seeking opportunities for growth. We, alongside other startups based here feel that the best way for Bitcoin adoption to increase is by gaining the support of larger companies to get our voice heard. To show your support, please like and retweet the following: https://twitter.com/magnr/status/694191210827759618This will help us get more visibility in front of Microsoft Ventures UK and help us spread the good word of Bitcoin within Microsoft.

Our response to Mike Hearn's announcement. For the record, we believe that every developer should operate under a full disclosure where every vested interest bitcoin, blockchain or otherwise and potential conflict of interest should be declared. This is standard practise in finance. Hi Mike. On behalf of the Magnr team and all of its clients, we thank you sincerely for all the work that you have done in Bitcoin. To have spent much of life’s most precious currency, time, dedicated to furthering the cause, no words can express our gratitude.
Respectfully, the dialogue that bitcoin has failed is one that we would disagree with. We can see the frustrations that you have had to encounter from the often terse nature of online trolls and endless opinion as opposed to an engaging and educated debate. We recognise that this is not easy to put up with.
So why do we think that Bitcoin will still live to fight another day? Well, coming from the world of finance, the forces of market economics will transcend irrational debate. Even with the significant price drop we are currently seeing, an economy with a market cap of US $5 billion shows how strong a vested interest all bitcoin holders have (in finance we call these actors ‘stakeholders’). This is regardless of their role in bitcoin, miner, aspiring startup entrepreneur, hoarder…
With literally billions of dollars invested into Bitcoin infrastructure across the world, if Bitcoin continues to drop in price, a realisation will soon kick in that in order to maintain an economic equilibrium, a decision has to be made by everyone.
Miners, whether Chinese or not, still have bills to pay, roofs to keep over their heads, and mouths to feed. When it comes to crunch time, the block size increase will happen. It is inevitable as everybody universally agrees that it should. The method which it will happen is still out for debate and we see the associated noise as the root of frustration to the core developers.
Regardless, thank you sincerely for your selfless contributions to the often selfish community. We promise you, the community will serve to make you a proud godfather of a technology you helped push forward in years to come.
P.s. We think you should at least keep 1 bitcoin!
Much love, from the Magnr team, London, UK. Peace. https://medium.com/@Magnr/hi-mike-on-behalf-of-the-magnr-team-and-all-of-its-clients-we-thank-you-sincerely-for-all-the-d12c402fc5e2#.jbo881hr6 |

recently i know at least several firms similar with you in London, what is the difference between your company and others?  The main differentiator is our experience. Being based out of London allows us to hire a team with BOTH financial services experience (including Barclays Bank Plc, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Macquarie Group) and hardcore technology exposure (eBay, BSkyB, BBC). |

I personally like bitcoin right now as my primary investment choice because, although there is manipulation, it is the most transparent store of wealth and market that I can think of.
...
I see gold as a solid place to hold wealth, not an investment, and bitcoin as a good storage of wealth as well (with unique problems) but with explosive potential upside.
This is why we are bullish on Bitcoin, the smart money... the clever investors know that the potential upside is WELL worth a small allocation in their portfolios because of diversification. See this paper explaining that the Beta correlation between Bitcoin's price and other asset types is simply nonexistent. IE. it is a new and unique asset class that does not follow correlations against other market instruments. http://www.scribd.com/doc/294784691/Estimating-the-Beta-of-Bitcoin |

Equities markets around the world are falling. A single drop from a single market is usually not enough for a well diversified investor to panic, large > 1% drops from all major markets are. China was the first market to drop yesterday with a 7% decline triggering an automated circuit breaker designed to kerb panic and short sellers - this control measure usually serves to cool off markets and prevent rapid market collapses. The Americans when they woke up and saw the activity in China and proceeded to sell un-necessary holdings, the Dow jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite all closed between 1-1.5% lower (these are baskets of stock prices from leading companies used to gauge the performance of different sectors of the US economy). Oil prices dropping also marked a slow down in energy consumption which fed bearish news. Meanwhile as the Brits woke up, they saw global markets falling and knew that their own portfolios would lose value due to their exposure to the other two major markets, as well as Oil prices dropping rapidly. The FTSE 100 (this tracks the price of the top 100 companies on the London Stock Exchange) opens the day almost 2% lower. Bitcoin is increasingly being seen as a 'safe haven' asset class. Just like gold, when markets tumble, savvy traders will look to reduce their exposure in the equities market and increase their exposure in safe assets. Gold is up - via Nasdaq  Bitcoin is up and currently touching $450. The one benefit to Bitcoin as a globally traded currency is that it is easily bought and sold when compared to equities across the world. Did we also mention its utilitarian value? Today's analysis bought to you by Magnr. A bitcoin savings, trading and investment platform. Drop a comment down below if you want us to produce more posts about global economics. Currency markets may be a good one for us to cover. |

Trust farming is frowned upon on bitcointalk. You are risking a few trust ratings from Non-DT members, for a lot of Negs from DT members
Fair enough. Post redacted. |

Are there plans for smartphone apps to manage Magnr accounts?
Happy new year oblomov, a native mobile app is on our roadmap but not a priority. We'll be launching into a new product vertical within the next few months to help us expand, watch this space. Mobile will come after that. |

I would really like to her some legit passive income methods.
So far I use minerfarm and ore-mine both legit and paid all time. In ore-mine you still need to click daily or you lost some earning You can buy autoclicker for 0,02 so you don't have to be active. There are a handful of legitimate interest bearing bitcoin accounts out there, we offer one at Magnr that pays out 2.18% APR. I believe a few of the services based out of China do as well. But first, make sure you do your own research and trust the company you use. Transparency statement & risk disclaimer: Magnr Savings carries a minimal (but not negligible) counterparty risk. We maintain a policy of full disclosure of risks to our clients. |

I was looking at the tradeview charts when I noticed my autistic brother looking over my shoulder. He said "It's going to crash." I asked him when. His reply was "Soon, within a few days."
The thing with my autistic brother is he can be streaky, I mean, he gets in these moods where he gets everything right and then he gets in other moods where he can't do anything right. He's real good with numbers and patterns, though.
I just sold a few coins, I hope he's right.
he means crash upward Hahahaha, was he standing upright? You should consider getting him to sit in front of your charts all day for a few weeks. Successful traders don't have to get every movement right, they just have to get more right then wrong. If you suddenly disappear off the forums to retire, we'll know he was good! |

We would love to see more female Bitcoin entrepreneurs. I think the female online retail market is a hugely untapped demographic for Bitcoin to expand and grow into. Google demographics data shows a huge bias towards males in the world of Bitcoin. This is a HUGE opportunity!
Well Actually I think females can be on top of the entrepreneurship just like guys too, for me equality is needed for bitcoin to grow there is a female leader sometimes that gets the job done at times and this issues about gender inequality should stop. I agree, the current state of gender inequality is sad, but thankfully us internet geeks generally don't discriminate against websites made/designed or coded by girls. If any female UX/UI designers see this and are after some work, please drop us a line on the Magnr.com support desk. We would love your help. |

But how can it be mainstream with 7 transaction per second ? And if it's not mainstream, satoshi's logic woul tell us that bitcoin will disappear by 2020  He also designed the original code to be modular and easily upgradeable. The current limit on upgrading block sizes (to increase the transaction / second output) is dependent on the block size increase debate that is going on. I guess he didn't foresee all the politics of this! |

We're after some good recommendations for economics related books. Anything considered, leave a short review if you have read it.
You will find much more various things and will find much more easy to learn the things you want to know if do a search in internet and find such stuffs about economics. There are to much. A single book normally is product or follower of only one schools of economics. But are to many. You will find all those only in internet. The same like be in several books. Explained in the needed way by the people which are followers or developers of these. While one book give normally as good thoughts only those of the school that the author of book follow and will find critics about all the other school of thoughts. So if take knowledge from internet you will be able to see everything else out of that only book (whatever can be) with your eyes and with your mind and not with that of the author of the book (whatever can be). Or better even with the eyes and the mind of every author. And will be (can be) you yourself to like or choose what seems more convincent. Wikipedia for example is a good source. But it is only one and (with much probability) might not be enough. Then don't forget: a book is hard to be understand. It is not so in internet. Could you recommend any sources? Researching different schools of thought are great in theory. I'm not sure how easy this would be in practice though. I used to think the internet was a great source, but I've started to disagree lately. These forums are filled with people who use google to search a term for random articles and immediately think they're experts in that field. The links they find defend their knowledge. In reality, searching provides a way of positively affirming what you believe to be true regardless of if its actually true (Confirmation Bias). I think that the Internet can be a great tool to learn but I still think that deeper knowledge lies in books. I'd rather read two or three well researched economics books from academics who have dedicated their lives to furthering knowledge in their field. Even better if the books have contrarian views. I would get more value from that rather then poorly written articles from a bunch of journalists and unproven sources of pages written to get as many views as possible. |
