If bitcoin acceptance reaches a critical mass where necessities of food, shelter, and clothing can be bought with it, it could reach a tipping point where it displaces national currencies in many developing countries. In this scenario, many areas of the world may leapfrog banking infrastructure and traditional money wire transfers. Most notably, the financial landscape in developing economies such as Africa is well positioned to leapfrog traditional banking and move directly to a bitcoin-enabled financial paradigm.

Hello good people of the BitcoinTalk Forum, We are looking at offering a membership subscription service at www.diginomics.com. This membership would be a bitcoin investment group in exchange for a monthly fee. What we are looking to create is a membership site focusing on 3 core tenants: - how to increase your financial standing with digital money
- how to increase your individual sovereignty with digital technologies
- how to govern your livelihood with an emerging form of law based on mathematics itself
View the Landing Page Here(Landing page still under development) Currently, we are conducting market research to determine what the willingness to pay on behalf of the market would be and also what people would be most interested in getting out of the membership. 1. What kinds of content would you be most interested in receiving for such a membership? (written articles, PDFs, videos, tutorials, courses, events, live webinars) 2. What single thing would compel you to join this membership more than anything else? 3. On a scale of 1-10, how willing would you be to pay $100 / month for this membership? Membership benefits would include premium content, live streamed events, and financial analysis of the bitcoin market. Pricing for a membership site such as this can be a difficult thing to get exactly right. Thanks for any feedback and constructive criticism. |

Read the Full ArticleHistorically, November has been an explosive month for the bitcoin price. In 2013, the price of bitcoin rallied to highs of over $1200 amid positive rulings in the USA on the potential for financial applications to be built using bitcoin technology. Bitcoin could be in the early stages of a similar price rally to what transpired over the course of late 2013. This time, the exchange infrastructure is at a level where large investment is active in the space. BULLISH BITCOIN PRICE INDICATORS- European Union Court of Justice Rules Bitcoin Transactions VAT Exempt – By removing value-added taxation, bitcoin can flow freely between other currencies and is not subject to sales tax when transferred. With this ruling, many of the top bitcoin businesses in Europe are breathing a sigh of relief.
- Gemini Bitcoin Exchange Targeting Institutional Players – “… we are going after a very large market that is to date completely underserved or not even in Bitcoin at all”, Cameron Winklevoss said about the launch, “I think it’s a good thing that there are multiple efforts trying to build bitcoin infrastructure (including Coinbase) so that we can get this thing to the moon.”
- Chinese Driven Surge – China recently capped overseas cash withdrawals, signaling a tightening grip on capital controls and an increase in bitcoin buying pressure from Chinese exchanges
How high could bitcoin go this time?

Hi Guys, I am looking to put together a detailed course on the economic, technical, and political implications of bitcoin. I thought to brainstorm with the community here today to try and come up with an ideal course title - one which generates interest and accurately portrays some of the content one would expect to find in the course. The course will carry a price tag of $100 and every though some of you may say that is expensive, we are tailoring it to a business professional crowd and are confident that the quality of the course content will be much more valuable than this price. The content we put into this course will be the very best on the topic of bitcoin and quite likely the best bitcoin course available on the market today. If you are interested in receiving updates about such a course, click here. Let me know what some of your thoughts are on the course title. We will give a free admission to the course for a headline which is proposed from the community here and accepted for the course. |

What would you want to see in an 'Economics of Bitcoin' course?In conjunction with www.diginomics.com, we are putting together a lengthy Economics of Bitcoin course and I thought to reach out to the community here to expand on, and brainstorm some new, ideas to put together for course topics. In order to serve a specific target market, we deliberately excluded anything which was focused deeply on the mining aspect of cryptocurrency and instead am focusing on what an investment manager, economics researcher, entrepreneur in the bitcoin space would be interested in. Bitcoin mining and cryptocurrency development may come in the form of later courses, but for now we want to be very specific around the investment potential of the bitcoin payment system. Below, we've listed an array of topics we are considering for the course. If you have any ideas or requests for course topics, reply in this thread. If you are interested in being notified when this course is released, enter your email on this page. That makes up the list we hammered out today. We'd be grateful for some feedback and interested to collaborate with any writers, content creators, or affiliates who are interested in making this course as helpful and accessible to the bitcoin community at large and also people in finance/economics/banking industries who are interested in bitcoin but simply do not know where to turn for solid information. Thanks for reading and see you on the moon.

The bitcoin computer is designed not to compete aggressively in the cryptocurrency mining industry, but to provide a continuous stream of bitcoin allowing worldwide payments for business APIs. Up until now, no computer has provided native hardware or software support for the bitcoin protocol as 21’s embedded mining solution does. What 21 has here is a small step for bitcoin mining, but a giant leap for the internet of things. Read The Full Article |

Click Here to Read ArticlePutting into effect BIP101 would result in an increase to 8MB after January 11, 2016. In order to gain consensus, the number of nodes running the bitcoinxt client would need to reach a supermajority of 75%. After that point, there would be a 2 week window to transition to the new fork as the old blockchain becomes incompatible with bitcoinxt. From there, the blocksize limit is set to increase linearly to a maximum of 8GB in 2036. Once started, the block limit doubling schedule cannot be stopped until 8Gb is reached. Visa currently has a transaction processing capability of 50,000 per second. If this 8GB blocksize were to be instantiated, then bitcoin would potentially be able to compete with the likes of traditional payment systems, but is that what it has been originally designed for? If Bitcoin comes to depend on bureaucrats rather than protocol, you might as well use Visa. They know how to do that far better.

BITLICENSE: A BOON OR BUST?On June 24th, 2015 the BitLicense was adopted by legislation and is now recognized by the NY Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). Businesses handling bitcoin and virtual currencies must apply for the license within 45 days from its initial announcement and pay an application fee of $5000. August 8th was the deadline for all companies to comply. Since that time we have seen a sizable exodus of startup companies choosing not to service the New York region precisely because of this regulation. The bulk of the commentary on the BitLicense’s success thus far came from Ben Lawksy, who, as he puts it “is doing no work in the virtual currency space at all.” after implementation of the license then handing off the reigns of procurement to others at the Department of Financial Services NY. Lawksy states that “smart regulation puts guardrails and rules in place that hopefully won’t stifle innovation” and that “the jury is still out” on the BitLicense. Read The Full Article

If you are someone who wishes to gain an understanding not just of bitcoin, but the larger trend towards decentralization and digital money, this book is for you. The book begins by examining the basics of bitcoin, then gets into the political-economics implications of the separation between the state and money. This transformation is one which will cause massive implications on the way we work and live. Anyone who purchases a copy of this book will get newer versions as they are released.

When an individual makes a transaction on the bitcoin network, no actual currency is moved. That is, no file has moved. No commodity or asset has moved. No private or public key has moved. Rather, the only thing which changes is the percentage of the blockchain ledger which User A & B claim control over. When a transaction occurs in the realm of bitcoin, the image of the blockchain is altered. Nothing ever changes but the composition of the blockchain record. The blockchain is a recorded snapshot of the bitcoin digital economy. Money is now an image, rather than something which can be separated from the system itself. This image of money is being constructed, altered, and verified by the thousands of machines acting as miners across the globe, and it’s a composition on public display for all to see. The miners are the painters of this network composition. The users, the brush and strokes. Click Here to Read the Full Article |

IT’S A CURRENCY… IT’S A COMMODITY… NO, IT’S CRYPTOCURRENCY Cryptocurrency is a financial asset in a class of its own. In truth, it is a combination of all the aforementioned traditional assets: currency, commodity, and stock. Cryptocurrency is not exclusively a currency because, as is with the bitcoin payment system, it represents a paradigm shift in our concept of money – one where there is no division between currency and the system which it flows through. Furthermore, the current rate of volatility of bitcoin makes it unsuitable as a sound form of money, although it has the potential to act as an remarkable monetary tool as stabilization continues to take effect. Cryptocurrency is also not exclusively a commodity. In comparison to gold, bitcoin shares many characteristics of scarcity and indestructibility. However, it gains the potent attributes of perfect divisibility and high portability. Bitcoin may accurately be considered a form of digital gold. Read the Full Article on Diginomics |
