i would say ...none. Paypal is expensive. You can use debit/cards directly. ZERO fees. Bitcoin is just a joke when it's about transaction(30 min for confirmation, volatility and so on) and safety. If your card is stolen or a fraudulent transaction is made, you will get the money back. It's not the same with Bitcoin.  |

This is very unfair and I think the BTC world just lost one of our own here.
I think the stronger message is that bitcoin was able to survive without all the darkweb transactions. And that's positive. darkweb sustains Bitcoin as it is dark market +darkweb = +90% from Bitcoin. you will say that someone may use BTC for trading. I rather trade gold which is a regulated market and the earnings are much higher(losses the same) than shit Bitcoin ) Bitcoin is mainly use for illegal things as ponzi schemes, illegal forex, drugs, credit card frauds, fake IDs and so on. |

just for the record, BTC-e has been active since July 2011 Sure they re up. There was never any doubt they would be up. Not every exchange is Mt.Gox.
it was surely scary to see them go offline, but seeing their announcement was some relief. why scary? there is NO information about this exchanger but you still use it. that means you afford an eventual loss |

that's strange it seems that they are going to accpet etherum, but dropping bitcoin, when the first has no usage...
i think it is only momentarily
If that scenario will happen and Microsoft will really ditch Bitcoin in favor of Ethereum then there is clear that there are some coordinated movements behind the curtain aimed to destroy BTC. Maybe Microsoft will buy ETH foundation, it sure seems that their developers wouldn't mind that. Of course not. It's just business. Would you mind if Microsoft would come to you and say: "Hey, we are interested about your company and we would like to buy it. Make a price!" . I doubt that you will say NO when you see a lot millions on table. You would give a shit on cryptoass and so on...money talks. |

They just wanted to get some more buyers with this trick, they never believed in Bitcoin.
Microsoft has a long history of not adopting the most obvious new and promising technology, so I'm not worried.
Yes, that's true. All the real merchants are doing the same. It's FREE advertising . Check that with the rest of the merchants and you will that none of them accept Bitcoin. |

who cares? BTC is mainly used for illegal things so why do you complain about a "nice" exit?  you are keep using shit exchangers like BTC-e, Bitfinex, BTC China and so on...why do cry for losing your funds when you know what BTC involves, RISK stop fudding, there are plenty fo merchants that accept bitcoin and now even steam is on track, do you think those are selling illegal stuff? it's the criminal that choose the currency not the opposite, bitcoin has nothing to do with criminal activity what merchants? Okcupid? LOL Bitcoin is mainly used for criminal activities, period. You saw that when Silk was closed. The BTC value fell alot at that time. You must be blind or stupid to not see that Bitcoin is a niche e-currency used 95% of black market. Who are the main "players"? The exchangers. Who is behind the main exchangers? Let's take some examples: BTC-e, BTC China, Okcoin, Bitfinex? BTC-e is a shady company registered...where? Okcoin is registered in Singapore without any financial license and they are chinesses. Don't take Coinbase example because they DO NOT exist as exchangers. They are TOO small. It's well known that OKcoin has FAKE volumes but it seems that they control +80% from the BTC exchanges. So, why do you complain that an exchanger like CRYPTSY is trying to exit like that? http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/volumepie/ |

The same way in the past and nowadays people trades stock,play forex and gambling,all those kinds are to grow their porfolio,making money why with bitcoin would be different?Gold achieved mainstream and all wanna have a part of it,soo why not bitcoin can has the same process,interest into trading it and having it.
because BTC is not real, it's a niche e-currency which is mainly used of the black market(including ponzi schemes, hackers, drug dealers) and it will remain like that until its value will go to zero. |

Get used with that and stop whining like a child. you want "freedom", you want shit Bitcoin freedom, no regulation for miners, no regulation for exchangers, no regulation for anything but you don't want to accept that this freedom is coming with other side too, a lot of scams.  You only want to earn without having any risk. ok. keep dreaming. When something bad is happening after you have used a non regulated financial company, you are going...WHERE? to police? To a gov institution? Why? You want no regulation for Bitcoin, no laws, right? Then shut up and swallow your tears. That's it ! Accept that you lost and learn something from this. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coindesk propaganda - Blockchains
|
on: March 01, 2016, 11:33:43 PM

There are many news about banks "blockchains" lately; especially on Coindesk. What does have Bitcoin with these blockchains? Nothing ! Then why does Coindesk make so much buzz about that? What is the interest behind these news? There are hundreds in the last 6 months regarding to different blockchains without ANY relation with Bitcoin. Ther are some sites with certain agendas that become clear after paying some attention to the way they make news and what they talk about and how. For example it's clear that bitcoin.com editors are pro-Classic and anti Core and re always spreading FUD about Blockstream, it's also clear Coindesk must have some sort of Ethereum related business going on where they are pro R3 and pro "bank blockchains"... you gotta know what you are reading or else you'll get scammed. its about their investor |

in short. the website is called "coin" desk, not "bit" desk.
so its not limited to bitcoins. and can talk abot altcoins too.
i personally hate coindesks lack of independant research and investigations as the copy and paste articles normally lack evidence or have mis-interpretations of the source.
that said, i feel coindesk is like the financial times (as an analogy only) where the OP is analogically asking why the financial times mentions the pound or yen or visa rather than just talking about dollars
That's right.But mostly coindesk writes about Blockchains, private, permissioned, without any token etc. These are often articles about distributed databases and how horny banks and other institutions are about that. I would be happy if they would write some article about one or the other altcoin, what barely to never happens except uncovered scams. So imo OP is definitely having a point here. On the other hand coindesk is a company which wants to make money and therefore everything related to crypto and "Blockchain" is fine for them to get published which I can fully understand. Right but they are presenting the things like : X bank is running a blockchain, Y bank is testing the blockchain" Real title: " Majority of Securities Firms Plan to Explore Blockchain This Year" - Coindesk is suggesting that all these news are related with Bitcoin which is false. These companies have nothing related with Bitcoin and they will not have. 100% no bank is paying for shits like these. The banks are not advertising on Coindesk. I think they are just trying to mislead the readers with these news and to pump up somehow the BTC price... |
