There's a fresh air for the bitcoin community. At least some part of community is staying active rather than posting frustrated posts on the forum. Without being considered as legal tender in Indonesia, bitcoin transactions continue to rise from year to year. Number of circulation have only reached 150-200 bitcoins. Last year, it was around 10 bitcoins per day. http://e27.co/bitcoins-use-indonesia-picks-albeit-no-recognition-20150603/ |

The news of bitcoin's death, it seems, is greatly exaggerated, especially now that the banking world is taking the digital currency seriously. Last fall, two U.S. banks agreed to use software created by Ripple Labs, whose real-time, cross- border payments product is based on bitcoin technology. In January, a startup called Coinbase, which essentially stores people's bitcoins for them, said it had received $75 million from investors, including the New York Stock Exchange, the Spanish bank BBVA, former Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit and former Thomson Reuters CEO Tom Glocer. http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-06-02/financial-interest-shows-bitcoin-death-exaggerated |

 Dream Lover, a virtual relationship platform that allows users to send texts and receive pictures from professional models, is now supporting bitcoin as a payment option. A product of the people behind adult entertainment studio Naughty America, Dream Lover follows in the footsteps of its sister website, which began accepting bitcoin in January 2014. Launched later that year, Dream Lover allows users to spend bitcoin on account credits called Coins that can be used to purchase access to phone numbers assigned to Dream Lover models. Users pay for 30-day access to the phone number and any transaction fees. Dream Lover CEO Andreas Hronopoulos described the product as one that seeks to capitalize on what he considers the broader trend of startups enabling both real and fantasy online relationships, citing Tinder as an example. |

Bitcoin is seemingly finding it difficult to shrug off laziness and inactivity. Ever since it breached the support zone at the start of this week, the digital currency has traded in an extremely narrow range of $234-238. However, I expect either of the fighting parties to make a decisive move as we enter the latter half of the week. Bitcoin trades on a flat-to-positive note, up from yesterday’s $235.19 to $235.40. Taking a technical look at the 240-minute BTC/USD price chart helps us in finding out that there is a better chance of Bitcoin hitting $230 than there is of kissing $240. Bitcoin Chart Structure – As can be seen from the chart above, Bitcoin made another attempt to force a jump to a higher ground but the resistance zone (marked as yellow in the chart) proved to be an insurmountable task. The digital currency is trading flat as it remains trapped between support and resistance levels. Moving Average Convergence Divergence – The MACD indicator has closed in on the Signal Line, thereby lifting the value of the Histogram to -0.1338. The current MACD and the Signal Line values are -0.5486 and -0.4148 respectively. Momentum – The Momentum indicator has sunk deeper to -2.0500 from -1.6800. Relative Strength Index – The 14-4h RSI reading continues to linger near yesterday’s level. At 44.7224, the indicator reveals that the market sentiment is still fairly bearish. |

After Gavin Andresen’s proposal to increase Bitcoin block size to 20 MB, chief scientist posted a new blogpost.
In it, Andresen spared himself from discussing the technical aspects of his proposal but moderately focused on the inconsistencies within the Core Bitcoin project. He feared that the lack of consensus over the Bitcoin’s proposed block size is leading its development to a fancy stage, known as “Analysis Paralysis”.
Prior to introducing us to this term, Andresen openly recognized the criticism made by a section of Bitcoin community — regarding the lack of proper research and testing into the economic implications and security of the proposal. He however also recognized that the fear of tackling these challenges are also slowing down the Bitcoin development en masse.
“I’m convinced the uncertainty over when or if this will be resolved is harming Bitcoin,” Andresen added. “If somebody can point me at a successful software technology that went through years and years of debate and research and was not deployed until it was perfect I’d change my mind – the example that immediately comes to my mind is Project Xanadu versus the Internet.”
He is clearly trying to win back the community’s trust. Well, The community, has responded positively to his new and calmer approach — and have asked him to go ahead with the fork.
“I say just release the updated version with an increased block size, and see how many people update it,” one of the users commented. “It’s a voluntary choice to update. That’s the vote.”
