261  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-01-06] New Bitcoin Exchange Coinlink.net is Launched on: January 06, 2016, 01:51:42 PM
Launched in July 2015, coinlink.net is a new promising bitcoin trading platform, registered in UK, it offers the flexibility for members to trade bitcoins by placing buy or sell limit orders, and accept bitcoin payments in their e-commerce websites as merchants.

The platform only supports USD for trading; however, the company took into consideration the fact that users from different countries would rather deposit funds in their local currencies than in USD, so the platform automatically converts those funds to the users’ USD balance using market exchange rates from the company’s banking partners.

HSBC, the fourth largest bank in the world is now steadily returning to normalcy after being hit by a system glitch that left thousands of users unable to log into the system. This instance adds to the list of several cases where the need for a complete overhaul of the existing banking system has been felt. A system based on the Bitcoin infrastructure can be a good solution.

265  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-01-06] cryptocoinsnews.com :Cryptsy: Mt. Gox Junior? on: January 06, 2016, 01:43:50 PM
This writer has received more complaints about Cryptsy since his last story on the subject than he has billing notices. Seriously. Some of them were messages of support, some were further complaints. Most of them had a common theme: Cryptsy won’t let the customer withdraw his or her funds.

Within the last 24 hours, Cryptsy had some serious downtime. Their message was simple and, at this point, expected: “Trade engine and withdrawals paused while we investigate cause of lag. Your patience is appreciated. Thank you.”

Something should be gotten out of the way: with as many dissatisfied customers as Cryptsy has, a distributed denial of service attack is definitely not out of the question. Certainly a cyber attack like that is less expensive than a lawsuit, less time-consuming than going to the government, who reportedly are already investigating Cryptsy in several ways, and more effective at disrupting their business model. For those who believe the exchange is an elaborate scam, it may be considered a public service: if no one can use the site, no one can be scammed by it.

266  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-01-06] Daily Bitcoin Price Analysis: Bitcoin Prepares To Move Up on: January 06, 2016, 01:41:12 PM
As we expected, yesterday the Bitcoin price trend continued sideways at $430. Currently the level of resistance is about $430 and buyers can not overcome this level. However, sellers can not seize the initiative at the moment either. Market players are waiting and are in no hurry to open long or short positions.

Blockchain.info My Wallets grows to +12000 new registrations per day. The trend chart shows a parabolic curve that implies a hundred million users by 2020. But how reliable is this data in regards to the number of new users entering the world of Bitcoin..
Founded in 2011, Blockchain.info is one of the oldest companies in the Bitcoin market, and their online wallet one of the most used, together with the Coinbase one. Blockchain’s charts page is a good source of data, reflecting a large part of the market, and the last month has seen a further boost in the parabolic curve of wallets registration.

269  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-01-04]Beyond bitcoin: The future of blockchain and disruptive financial... on: January 05, 2016, 05:08:20 AM
Bitcoin, the digital currency, has attracted both attention and controversy. But the most potent innovation is not the currency itself. Rather, it’s the technology that undergirds bitcoin, the distributed-ledger technology known as the blockchain that allows payments to flow through an economy in an entirely decentralized way—without banks or other intermediaries. This infant technology could change the financial system; think the Internet before browsers. It could reduce the cost and increase in the speed and accuracy of financial transactions; it could truly disrupt the banking business. Or it could fizzle. But already it is raising a host of policy questions – about financial stability, consumer protection, choking off terrorists' finances, and tensions between established and upstart financial institutions and between regulatory agencies.

272  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-01-04] Bitcoin Is A More Viable Option Than American Express on: January 05, 2016, 05:02:05 AM
In the traditional world of finance, there are a handful of major players when it comes to credit and debit cards. Visa and MasterCard are the two biggest brands, but American Express is trying to make a comeback as well. Unfortunately for AmEx, a recent announcement by Fidelity Investments sees the company losing ground in favor of Visa and Bancorp. Unlike these financial services, Bitcoin is not suffering from fractured support, as there is only one currency in play that works for everyone in the world.

276  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-01-04] Gold vs Bitcoin– the Investment Debate on: January 05, 2016, 04:44:08 AM

For some, bitcoin is more than just a currency. Some prefer to identify it as a protocol. Some prefer it to be a technological innovation. But for most entrepreneurs, it is considered an investment.
For some time now bitcoin has been regarded by a great number of people as more than just a currency. Its decentralised nature and medium to high-risk volatility have both attracted interest from curious and optimistic investors, and been met with a good deal of distrust, at least until it demystifies itself somewhat. However, with its drastic gains and with gold’s dramatic decline, what’s in store for investors in terms of these two assets?
