I remember reading somewhere that coinbase had added 100K new users after Thanksgiving alone, so it would be surprising, to say the least, if coinbase's traffic really hasn't changed. If the traffic here is increasing, at least a certain portion of people who visit this website are bound to visit other cryptocurrency related websites as well, increasing their traffic.

Not true. First of all, governments are trying to eliminate the need for cash for their fiat currencies.

Cash and digital currency are two different things. There are still people all over the world who don't know about bitcoin also every country have its own currency and its own regulatory to keep its cash flowing.

@nakisana  the forum is the wrong place to request settlements.  Please use the trollbox.



We received a couple of requests regarding the market:

 https://fairlay.com/market/who-will-be-elected-german-chancellor-in-2017/.

First of all, yes it is not correct, that this market was settled to MERKEL.   It should be void as there won't be any elected chancellor in 2017.

But this market was already settled in September.  According to our terms  wrong settlements should be reported within 72 hours - or there is no guarantee for a correction.

Technically the market is already finalized and can not be reopened. However we will resettle this market manually and manipulate the balances of all involved users by hand.

So, to begin i have depression a pretty severe one and i had it since 2006, the last couple of years i have lost everything from my income to multiple chances i've been given, nothing ever goes right in my life ever any more and it hasn't since 2013 it's been a pure nightmare that i don't know if i can live with much longer, i yesterday found out that i visited a bitcoin website in 2011, this made my heart sink and i can't find anything to make me cope with that fact, i was a kid back then so i didn't have alot of money so at most i could have realistically bought bitcoin for 100 dollars, and thats over 100 million dollars today, i don't know how i can cope with that thought, so i wonder how is anyone else coping with it, or even those who sold off their bitcoin before the value increased like this, because i am going through multiple severe panic attacks from this now, i am trying to convince myself that i couldn't have bought any back then, wheather it would be for the difficulty buying it or any other reason but i can't find anything that would have prevented me from buying them back then, if it was something as simple as being really complicated to buy it then i could have told myself nothing i would have done back then would have changed the outcome, because i would have never been able to buy them, but from googling it it was extremely easy to buy, so i could have easily bought them back then, i did invest in things back then i bought several windows 7 dvds from ebay which ofcourse were false, i was hoping i could sell them off, i was like 18 at the time.

this is the website i visited in 2011 according to my google search history

https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16361.0

i have no idea what that contained because the link no longer works.

at this point i am researching drugs to numb myself, i go through  pain every single day including suicidal thoughts, but i do not know how i can live with this knowledge right here, if i were to count how many times i was close to getting rich or wealthy it would be well over 10 times.

Do you thing it is feasible to use Bitcoin to place bets compared to the system of using local currency or the USD. Some betting websites have been very flexible in using Bitcoin as the currency of placing Bets.

What I never liked is, if the actual stake was $5 (for example). And the winning amount was $43. The amount of Bitcoin worth will be paid instead of the calculated number of Satoshi. That is usually when the price of BTC drop.

Let's do some maths.
Odd=2.5
BTC stake 10,000 Satoshi
Returns: 25,000 Satoshi

Instead of 25000 Satoshi as returns, the player might get less than the winnings because the rewards will not be calculated based on the amount staked.

However, some people are convenient with the whole thing.

I'm confused, when is the cut off for every week ? it's Saturday right ? and based on my calculation today is still part of the first week, why there's already post for 2 week?
Sorry for asking this and I hope to get the answer because I'm still posting just to fulfill my duty for the first week. Thank you OP.

Recently red that Chinese miners are fleeing the country because of this rumor, that means that in case of ban, there would potentially be small dump and that's all

I just made an estimate total of how much I have paid for transaction fees, exchange fees, conversion-to-cash fees etc., and I did not feel very good about these extra fees just for me to be able to spend my bitcoin.

I am just curious if anybody here has any idea on how blockchain is planning to keep up with the fast growth of users. You see, my dream with bitcoin is that you can use it for everyday expenses like taxi fare, buying a movie ticket or any random stuff you encounter everyday just like our normal paper bills. But I think this will stay as a dream unless instant confirmations will be attainable.

If the owner of a store decide received only Bitcoin how payment of his products, how him can define the prices without forget of volatility of Bitcoin?

Im new to this forum, so while reading to get information, I realized if it will succeed, we wont be needing cash anymore. Will it be a threat to our current currency which we used cash during payments?
