So I decided to do a little test yesterday and send a BTC transaction and a BCH transaction at the same time. Just to make it interesting and give BCH an unfair advantage I decided to set the BTC fee at half the reccomended amount, at around 500 sat/byte. The estimated time for confirmation was 25 BLOCKS or more than 14 hours. Guess how long the low-fee BTC transaction took??? ONLY 22 MINUTES!!!  Which means that the high fees listed and the unconfirmed transactions (made up of spam from the tiny cabal of Chinese BCH backers) is PURE FUD! Bitcoin still does fast and cheap transactions and works like a charm. So then I was waiting for the BCH transaction I sent, WITH THE FULL RECCOMENDED FEE... I was waiting.... and waiting.... and waiting...... and waiting....... ahahaha I almost gave up but it eventually got there. AFTER 3 LONG HOURS! What a joke. Cheap, instant transactions? HA! BCH has a tiny, crappy network and a hacked virus-filled "Electron" client that will send your BTC address directly to you-know-who if you don't empty it first. Oh well. At least we can all dump this Chinese knockoff BCH and get a nice free profit from those suckers trying to pump it up. Yet another alt-coin fail, bye bye BCH(inese). |

"Antifragility is a property of systems that increase in capability, resilience, or robustness as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures. It is a concept developed by Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book, Antifragile and in technical papers."

I just sold and took my fat and free profits from my free BCH, (Bitcoin Chinese), briefly formerly known as Bitcoin Cash. They tried to pump the centralized Chinese counterfeit scam coin once again, with much broken English propagsnda as usual. If you got BCH free then sell and get your free money or bitcoin while you can, it will never see these prices again and will end up back in the Chinese Junk Shop of history like all the rest of their attampts to rip off Bitcoin. Thanks for the free money, Chinese suckers . |

http://www.cnbc.com/id/101937441Will that be debit, credit or Bitcoin? Natali Morris Would you like to pay for your morning coffee with your credit card or your bitcoin wallet? If San Francisco-based start-up Shift Payments has its way, you'll soon be able to switch from real money to digital currency when paying with a single card.

"Masters—who tells Newsweek he now uses Bitcoin so habitually that “I don’t even want to say how much I carry around on my phone, probably too much”—is a long-term Bitcoin bull, dismissing Wall Street contemporaries who shun the currency as unstable and fly by night. “The way I see it, Bitcoin is just another commodity, like oil,” Masters says. “The state of Bitcoin is a lot like the state of the oil market 25 years ago, where you had a lot of these transactions happening merchant to merchant, this product that everyone wanted and could use but whose prices were very, very volatile, very shaky.” He believes Bitcoin’s prices will stabilize as the currency and technology mature—similar to what has happened over the past decade with oil—but in the meantime, he estimates the value of Bitcoin could rise to $2,000 or more. “Right now, Bitcoin has about 1,000 percent annualized volatility,” he says. “Compare that to oil at 15 to 20 percent and stocks at 10 to 15 percent.” In other words, the potential upside, in the eyes of an experienced trader, are too appealing to resist." http://www.newsweek.com/ex-jp-morgan-trader-joins-bitcoin-bulls-launching-hedge-funds-258494?piano_t=1 |

http://3dprint.com/8284/weibao-3d-printer-bitcoin/"Bitcoin and 3D Printing, Probably two of the most exciting technologies of our time. While Bitcoin promises to change the way the world transacts with one another, 3D printing promises to change the way the world manufactures. One Chinese company, 1-we-3WeiBao Robot Technology Co., ltd, is using both of these new technologies within their business plan." Nice combination, especially for high-risk, forward-looking investors...

Umm, hell yeah? Venture capitalist guru eyes bitcoin boon Matt Clinch | @mattclinch81 http://www.cnbc.com/id/101745941The man credited with kickstarting some of the web's most successful startups has told CNBC that he is growing increasingly excited by the financial services sector, paying particular attention to the future of virtual currency bitcoin. Saul Klein played a key role in starting up Lovefilm International, which has been dubbed the "Netflix of Europe", becoming the company's original CEO before it was acquired by Amazon in 2011 for a reported $317 million. He's also held a position at Skype, acquired by eBay, and was co-founder at startups Kano and Seedcamp. But now, Klein told CNBC, he is being increasingly drawn to the world of virtual currencies and the potential they have for disrupting the mainstream with the advent of the smartphone. "It's very, very transformational," he said of bitcoin - the virtual currency which has already received attention from central banks, policymakers and regulators from around the globe. "Bitcoin has its own ecosystem...(and) is light years ahead of the other (payment) networks." ....................................... |

CNBC: Chase Banks closing accounts of porn stars: Report http://www.cnbc.com/id/101616944--------------------------- "Chase Bank is closing the accounts of hundreds of people who work in the adult industry, according to multiple reports Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted images of the letters reportedly sent to stars in the adult industry informing them of the account closings. Hilton reported that the accounts would be closed on May 11, 2014. Adult industry publication XBIZ also reported on the account closings, including an interview with one of the women whose account is slated for termination, porn star Teagan Presley. XBIZ reported that they had not been able to reach Chase for comment. TMZ.com reported Friday that Chase had closed the account of porn star Layton Benton, who told the site that Chase said her account was "a risk." Citing sources, the site reported that Chase is targeting specific types of transactions such as deposits from webcam shows." --------------------------- Just goes to show, for those doomsayers who think it's so uniquely catastrophic when banks close bitcoin-related accounts in various countries, good 'ol US banks close the accounts of individuals and businesses from ENTIRE LEGAL INDUSTRIES just to reduce "risk." all the time. No wonder porn is moving so strongly into bitcoin payments and commerce... |

Looks pretty suspicious, can't find any good news and the price just keeps rising. Could this be the beginning of bitcoin? I'm sorry people, looks like it's GAME ON. Get in while you can before the melt-up begins.
LMAO, couldn't resist after the endless trolling about price drops and bad news...

Bitcoin refuses to flip: Virtual currency stays strong despite bankruptcies, gyrating rates Bitcoin is virtual money that cuts out banks and credit card companies, and has gotten more popular recently. Here's what you need to know about the original cryptocurrency. By Craig Timberg, Sunday, March 9, 1:09 AM E-mail the writer Future generations of Bitcoin billionaires may someday look back on 2014 with knowing smiles. Here was a year when thefts spread, exchanges collapsed, rates gyrated like a teenager’s moods. And yet the buying of bitcoins showed no signs of abating. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/bitcoin/2014/03/08/0b1ad2f0-a631-11e3-8466-d34c451760b9_story.html |
