The idea behind this is to create an original piece of ART with a Bitcoin theme. I plan to make the work from scratch and I will post the progress here so all get an idea of the processes involved. The work will be sold or auctioned at the end, I'm not sure which. A bit about myself: I have been practicing ART on and off for over 30 years and had planned to go to ART college after school but other things came up and led me along a different path. I do some Graphic Design as part of my Day Job and my house is king of a ART exhibition at the moment with all my own work displayed. A bit about the project: Acrylic paint on Cradled Hardboard The size is 67.3cm x 59cm x 3.8cm Theme: Bitcoin Stage 1: Building the Cradled work surface

Just happened across an article from May 2018 about a street artist who is earning crypto from his Graffiti work by placing a QR code for people to send rewards - great idea! > http://cryptotimes.org/bitcoin/street-artist-nets-1000-bitcoin-qr-codes-murals/https://www.pboy-art.com/biographieThis goes to show there are many ways to earn crypto and the lesson is to be creative and think outside the box. We can all earn crypto legitimately if we put our minds to the task and market the idea. Im just throwing it out there but I would love to read a part fiction/part historical novel about the creation of Bitcon and Satoshi Nakamoto

Lets face it anyone on this forum for over a year has at least 1 bag.
Whats a bag? Some newcomers might ask, well a bag is what we refer to when we buy tokens for some bright new shining project but those tokens turn out to be tarnished useless things. We hold the bag of tokens in the hope that one day that failed project rises from the ashes and becomes the great shining revelation.
We all know deep down that its not going to happen as we see the token value slide like a long burning candle.
My thoughts are to trade those bags back into the Bitcoin fountain where they can be shaped back into something which will see a rise in value.
Cut the losses and move on.

Is it just me or are there very few Copper Accounts in operation?
I know there are benefits but the concept doesnt seen to be advertised enough and it seems to be a rarity to see one eventhough some bounty programs are looking for Copper Account holders.
Does anyone know how many users have aquired one?

Isnt it amazing how just one thing can change the trend to something positive even though there is a question mark hanging over it, ETF.
The talk in the forum has changed dramatically from "is this the end" to endless prediction and speculation threads and general positivity.
Some of us have seen it before, there will be those who will over spend and there will be those who will have missed out and stood on the sidelines.
There will be panic buying and panic selling, There will be FOMO followed by FUD and some people looking for advice on what to invest in and others distraught when the token or coin the bought turns out to be a dud, It all adds to the drama of crypto.
As we potentially enter a phase of FOMO or a possible BULLRUN what advice can we share?

I have been over on the Goods board and notice someone selling 71 BCT accounts of various levels. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4713948.0We all know it is frowned upon but not illegal but sometimes for whatever reason people want or need to leave this forum or indeed want to liquidate their account because they do have a value for collecting bounties. So I was thinking would it be possible to implement a TEMPORARY restriction of some sort on a bought account to prove the new owner is worthy in some ways. Would we be opening the floodgates for buying, selling and swapping accounts? Just a thought

When there were lots and lots of question asking "is this the time to buy..." i sincerely hope those asking the questions took the right advice and are enjoying the markets now?
Dont get me wrong im not saying that the markets will continue to rise without some form of corrections but if you are interested in making some gains from earlier investment this is your time.
So did everyone take the advice when the markets had fallen and the forum was full of negativity?

At this time when Bitcoin and crypto tethers on the bring of bull run or a Recovery from its languishing around $6k should we be concentrating more on BTC rather than ALT's?
If most people are here for the medium to long term outlook isnt is BTC which will provide the biggest ROI?

Im not one for scaremongering but I read an article on http://bitcoinist.com/bitmain-51-percent-bitcoin-hashrate/ titled "Bitmain Approaching 51% of Total Bitcoin Network Hashrate". Now we all know the dangers of the 51% and too much control and I wasnt aware bitmain had such a big slice bitcoin mining are they really a threat to the 51% capacity and is it something to be concerned about? Also would it be the case that if they got closer to that figure smaller miners in the pool would move to another?

An idea of concept struck me to narrow my portfolio, why? I think the concept of moving coins/tokens which may be low or non performers into the obvious Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Monero reliables.
Has anyone done this already?

I am looking to sell off some of my coin collection starting with this lot of World Silver Coins. More detailed images can be provided, these are scans from the coins in their bags. Some are very low mintage and some are very high mintage as per the details on the cards. Most bar 1 or 2 are in very good to mint condition [i dont know how to grade coins] Details are:

In my time on BCT my opinion is that the negativity towards bitcoin is at an ATH. The amount of threads spreading FUD and negativity are growing the longer bitcoin fails to deliver the great expectations of some people. It seems to me that the fact bitcoin reached $20k there are people acting like spoiled children who demand their wants immediately and so are willing to throw the toy out or smash the sand castle because their wills are not met now. There are times when we need to visit the whitepaper to realise what it was all invented for and to have patience. https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

I have seen this a lot over my 12 months here on BCT where i particular coin gets a lot of attention, the big one really was Ripple but not so much now.
I am witnessing a lot of threads about ETH, Why is that? What speculation is driving the attention?

With Ethereum most likely moving over to POS and the fact that POS Is less energy reliant does it mean that going forward bitcoins POW and high energy consumption will be a factor and a concern in the efficiency to mine coins?

"Investing" in masternodes, is this the new get rich quick route?
A friend who is also into crypto is getting into masternodes and im sure this is nothing new as a means of investment. The likes of running a DASH masternode for example is pretty much out of reach of almost all of us.
Are people treating masternodes, like others treat ICO's, get in for the quick gain rather than supporting a project they believe in?

I would class myself as a long term holder, I tried trading but didnt make noticable gains. I have got into some alt coins last year which really have yet to be fully adopted and utilised.
My theory is that its really going to take about 12 months or at least 12 months for a project to materialise and probably another 12 for further developments.
I am a long term holder if litecoin, and for years some people have held this coin until last year it started its healthy price rise and popularity. Siacoin is another which has undergone a lot of development and its one I hold long term.
So I invite all long term holders to discuss their thinking on the topic at this time of rising price activity after some very low valued markets.

Good news for us in the U.K and Europe which should result in faster FIAT transactions in and out of Crypto. https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/13/coinbase-emoney/Some interesting points: if Coinbase goes bust or ceases to operate as a business going forward, the idea is that any fiat currency the company is looking after on your behalf won’t get absorbed with it.
Coinbase’s e-money license will extend beyond the U.K. to 23 countries within the EU
Coinbase says that the EU grew twice as fast as any of its other markets in 2017 and that the U.K. continues to be its largest market in Europe.

My interest has been piqued about creating an AIR GAPPED computer after reading the [Warning] About Coinomi https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2215088.0And given that there have been vunerabilities shown in a lot of wallets this should be a seriously considered alternative. Is creating an AGC really as simple as having a computer which does not access the internet? My understanding would be that: I make sure the computer is "clean" of malware I download whatever wallet I like to a memory stick on a different computer load and install from a memory stick the wallet files to the AGC Generate a wallet address and use that for receiving funds. An AGC can be an old laptop, PC, tablet or smartphone i assume. Is there anything else which needs to be considered?
