I was browsing for news in bitcoins last week when I got intrigue with this title in an news article.  In deed, the biggest test for bitcoins in this year for there are a lot of scares with its operations.  There has been issues with its legal basis as China and South Korea has halted their exchange operations.  The all time low bitcoin value then the sudden increase of its worth... It has been a roller coaster... but thankfully it survive and here we are...

I was reading the news just about now and I have come to read that Bitcoins just splits up creating a new cryptocurrency called Bitcoins gold.  Even though there may a slight decrease on the original Bitcoins, it right away recovered after a plunge.   I remember just a week ago when Russia wanted to create its own cryptocurrency using mining and of course their nuclear energy... Today, this currency goes global as its demand has increased just over a short period of time.  I Still cannot assess if the split will do good or bad but for this time, I think the original Bitcoins is just doing fine.. What do you think of the new comer???

I think the moderators in this forum are so pathetic and incompetent... Yesterday, the last two days, I already got a 260 plus post counts, I checked in yesterday and I got 2 fewer posts. Just this morning, I again deducted 3 posts.   These moderators just don't know what topics are low-quality-topics.   They should have closed a lot from the topic itself.   They should have tried an audit on the posted topics in each forum.   What is annoying is that they allowed members of this forum to respond to such topics.  They will then reply to this topic stating the topics I replied saying I got a nonsense response when in fact the topic I responded should have closed by then.  Yet they do nothing about it.   they just letting members to continue replying when in fact they should have closed the thread already to stop people in replying... Stupid......

Are you in favor to register your BTC Wallet address to trace transactions and impose taxed it?  It is a big subject now amongst lawmakers to trace down income and transaction about bitcoins.   This has become the talk of the people involved in digital currency lately.  So, What do you think?

I was reading news about bitcoins just this morning and many businessmen have predicted that the exchange of bitcoins will rise in six to 10 months time.  As of now, the value goes around 5000 USD and it keeps rising.  The demand of bitcoins has also risen as the supply is.  So the future of bitcoins is bright, however, it is still good to be prudent because it might also collapse at the same time.  So, remember what China did, after their stop  of exchange in bitcoins, big players in the market has taken advantage of its low price because their prediction of the price to go up is certain. Wow, instant profit...

Bitcoins has regained its strong value, As of this posting, the value per 1 bitcoin is exactly 4786.59 US Dollar.   Soon we will see more ways people can squeeze the most out of bitcoins.   Since the advent of the internet to be profit oriented in the 90's, no one would possibly have imagined that the Internet would breed Facebook, Google, Uber, online streaming, etc. This is where we are with the Blockchain now. There exists a whole world of opportunities out there.  

These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage. We cannot deny for a fact that cyber crimes have been committed since the birth of the internet.  Once, stealing was done with having guns, now, robbers can easily hack bank accounts or counterfeit credit cards to their advantage.  Sooner, cryptocurrencies can be used to pay crimes such as services for creating counterfeit birth certificates and this is not far from happening.  Actually, the US has already cases on this matter.

Another is the crime of buying illegal-drug emporium that used Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, politicians and policymakers took notice. Criminals, it turns out, really like bitcoins, which can be exchanged for nefarious purposes on the "Dark Web," with complete anonymity and, it seems, impunity.

Although, there are some articles that i have read regarding criminals cannot hide behind bitcoins, still, there are difficulties tracing transactions using cryptocurrencies. That is why law enforcement agencies should have a to change their procedures to pursue criminals who make use of the latest technology to commit crimes. Let the law find a way to evolve to address new tech challenges. There is no reason to expect that law enforcement won’t be able to get a handle on this new cybercrime.

I was really upset these past days because of deductions to my POST counts.  The Moderator has posted that if your reply or post lack substance then it should be deducted to your counts.  But when can one say that the thread title or reply Substantial?  I keep asking this to myself because a TITLE THREAD or TOPIC should have been deleted if at the first place lacks substance or I should say Low-Quality Topics.  I am a bit disturb of how topics were started at the first place.  Moderators should have called the attention or closed it at once if they evaluated the topic to be low-quality.  What I am pointing out is why they allowed such low-quality topic to stay in the thread and also allowed replies to it.   I myself, am a moderator also.  And we closed topics right away if it is considered to be of low-quality.

Anyone, what do you think of this.

Universities are embracing accepting bitcoin for tuition, with Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland the latest school to adopt. If anything, it's another clear sign the cryptocurrency is here to stay.

Even so... Bitcoin has been used to buy homes, and countries like Venezuela and Vietnam are beginning to truly embrace the currency. Now, certain universities are adopting the payment method of bitcoin for tuition, albeit with a few caveats.

I was backreading some topics in Marketplace and found out that signature campaign was not included in the first service of this website... What if Signature Campaign was never introduced... What else could be the Service we can apply for?

Yesterday after reading that Japan has opened its way to Bitcoins exchange, many Chinese traders will move to Japan or South Korean exchange market.  Not to mention, Hong Kong is also a bitcoin player (Gatecoin). So this trader from China has shifted to other countries to continue to invest in the cryptocurrency.  China represented only 10-15 percent of the cryptocurrency market.  So even though China has banned the use of Bitcoin... Chinese traders will not stop as they see the future of bitcoins was brighter than ever...

The Philippine Government has declared War on DRUGS since the election of a New President sometime last year.  Many have surrendered due to fear of death while others fought the government about it.  The result is blatantly bloody. Thousand has already lost their lives,  many were widowed and children orphaned.   Today, there is at least 3,000 plus killed from police operations and another of about 4,000 due to extrajudicial killings.  A warning has already sent to all, but only a few have listened or adhere to it... To you, is killing pushers and users alike a good way to stop the proliferation of Drugs... Are you in favor of the way to fight drugs???

I just read while browsing this morning this news article... Hmmmm... With the current price, this will be going to be interesting...

Just now... China has declared a halt to Bitcoins exchange and operations by October... The price of Bitcoins has partially drop due to the news... However, if we can equal the population of Bitcoins user in China and invite a lot of investors... I think Bitcoin will still survive.... Hope so....
