yes everything in this world can be possible but still it is not so easy to beat such a good and popular crypto currency.

There are still a lot of questions remaining

And I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes known eventually that the guys who stole the coins were the same guys who had been running the exchange back then. It was all fishy right from the start and remains so. They didn't reveal the addresses to which funds had been moved, didn't provide information how investigation went and what it ended up with. It might well have been an inside job as may had been speculating back in the day. They might as well have caught the thieves long ago and were just keeping the funds earning plenty of money off them. In any case, I wouldn't be singing eulogies to Bitfinex since there is no reliable info about what actually happened and how it got resolved

in this forum have some guys that are paid too. always showing up arguing with ppl that are not in favor with BUg CHINESE coin.
then they just throw a lot of technical stuff but they don't see the whole context behind the scenes.

I think this guys must be so brainwashed they can't see the recent bitcoins news around the world, like japan adopting it, and this BUG chine coin will mess up everything.

Now they probably will show up with big texts,

I wanted to know how much are you guys profiting to defend bug chinese coin?  

Fiat funds are fully insured, but that's not the case when it comes to the digital assets people store there. Not sure why they don't offer insurance for coins as well, but that's what the situation is right now.

Other than that, from what I read on their site they do take cold storage very serious, which is always a plus. Nowadays inside jobs are a bigger problem than hackers are. Long story short ~ nothing wrong with this exchange.

Oh, PayPal is definitely a currency at this point. And pretty well accepted too. I've seen PayPal integration on every shopping cart I use online, at select fast food restaurants, some gas pumps. It's even an option at CoinStar.

And they are a bank as well. At least, they act like a bank, holding funds from consumers for non AML/KYC reasons.

first, they asked for personal information, explanations of the sources of the funds to be withdrawn and intended withdrawal destinations. Now they want video verification. Huobi and OKCoin are implementing video confirmation to comply the strict PBOC's AML and KYC guidelines, expecting the return of bitcoin withdrawals soon.
BUT Don't you think this is too much to ask for?
Where is the anonymity we've been talking about?

Also because we are addicted of using bitcoin and use it rather than using any other currency we are unknown of.
This is the main factor bitcoin will not be replaced !

To me, leaving bitcoin for Ethereum is worst than anyone who participated in BU/Segwit debate. How about when the current issues have been ironed out? Will he come back? Ethereum is basically "governed" by centralization, controlled by the few. They can HF anytime.

and the bullshit will walk

CEX in the UK have been accepting Bitcoin for about 3 years both in-store and online for buying and selling.

Browsing the website today and I notice that the Bitcoin logo has gone from the bottom of the webpage, and in the FAQ, and under payment methods. All mention of it has now gone, and I guess they have removed the ATM's from stores too.

Not very promising really, a company that invested in supporting Bitcoin has given up within 3 years. I'd guess the frigging huge transaction backlog, days of delays for confirmation and higher than Mastercard (credit) fees are turning people and business away while the community throws abuse at itself.

there is no $16B-$20B dollars!

thats the speculative bubble number based on a few thousand coins being stired around in exchanges to have a $1000 'price' and the multiplying it by 16m

there are not 16-20 billion actual dollars sitting in bank accounts.
i can make an altcoin tomorrow with 5,000,000,000,000 premined coins. get just 1 coin onto an exchange and sell it to myself for $1.. and instantly have a $5trillion market cap.

so stop talking about the speculative bubble number.. its meaningless. all the holders of the 16m coins of bitcoin are not promised or guaranteed $1000 if they all cashed out today. its not a 'valuation' .. its a bubble number of multiplication

Bitcoin never will die.
It is first cryptocurency and one trust cryptocurency. Nobody can`t control it. It is not private made by group of developers. Nobody know who did it. Nobody can control it.
That is why it is best coin. No goverment can`t do that. No people can`t do that. It is the most popular and always will be.

Altcoins are ok, for me they are to lose or earn money.If u want u can invest in them but there will be always just one the most popular coin - BITCOIN!
For now like i said $1 is enough fee to get money in few minutes. Dont need wait for 24h. Even if someone will have to it is anonymous, very cheap for big amounts. Never any coin will not be better and say whatever u want. People know it.

I am suprised who decide to talk about Bitcoin Unlimited?! I see nobody votes for BU so who were proposing this shit?! People are scary because dont know what is going on. Who made this panic first?! I can see noone want this shit BU.

Of last 1000 I see 33% of blocks, not 40%. I would like to se 40% - that would mean halfway there.

They won't activate until 75% for a difficulty period which is 2016 blocks so one has to look at a bigger picture than just last day or whatever is being used for the 40% count.

This won't change much, they need 70%,  which means they still have a long way to go and in the meantime another better solution may be proposed.
Don't forget there's still a strong opposition to BU. One thing is certain, if the fork happens you will all be able to get some cheap coins, because the price will take a huge hit.
