With the first two methods you will have material to create a nice work for your school, just find information about how those options fight against the Scalability...

*Bigger blocks mean more transactions inside each block but a bigger blonchain in the long run.
*Lightning Network is a little more complex, but it opens payment channels, and it cost only one transaction to open the channel and another to close it.

This is fun, some months ago India was trying to proof a law to send all the people who uses bitcoin to jail for 10 years. And now they say cryptos are inevitable? lol.

Un mercado negro respaldado por ICO... buena broma.

Esperemos que Los carteles Mexicanos, la guerrilla colombiana y las mafias no sigan estos pasos, ya que como dice la canción "Si le das mas poder al poder, mas duro te van a venir a coger".

Es algo impactante o lo ha sido desde mi punto de vista, el ver como los chicos malos quieren colgarse de el 'Ponzi 2.0' mejor conocido como ICOs, y esto para capitalizarse.

Bitcoin también utiliza TOR en sus nodos, esto no es realmente garantía de anonimato.

Me he echado un clavado en el white paper de deeponion (https://deeponion.org/downloads/whitepaper.pdf) y ahí nos comentan que su anonimato se debe a 2 tecnologías 'DeepSend' y 'Stealth  Addresses'. Así que alguien se voló algunas ideas de Monero :p

Me ha gustado aprender mas sobre esta moneda, se ve interesante.

I think is responsibility of the people to verify they are sending the coins to the right address. I know tons of coins have been lost this way, but even if you create the more secure system people could still failing with a simple copy-paste.

The good news is that every time a user send btc to the wrong addy, he learn the leason and he will not that mistake again.

I think governments already know this overpopulation problem, and that's why tobacco still legal. 

When the world gets overpopulated there will be a problem with food and water, and that will be enough to start a war. So, the solution will come at the right time.

This is the smart way to gamble, when people gamble without a goal they will stop when they get busted.

When i sit on a poker table or when i start playing slots i always have a goal in my mind, if i get the goal then it is time to stop.

To lose money isn't fun at all, but people doesn't always lose in gambling. I have seen a lot of people leaving the casinos with big profit and a smile on their faces, Looks like they really have fun at that time.

Maybe you should chase a jackpot and if you get a big win you will have fun.

I would say 21 is a big number, i mean only 1 million users could have that amount, and now days we see more people than that involved in cryptos. Maybe 1 bitcoin is a good amount to hold in the long term, no one know what the value will be in 50 or 100 years, but for sure will be a crazy amount of money.

Puedes comprar un un trezor y guardarlos ahí, aunque hay varias maneras de almacenar los bitcoins. Puedes usar online wallets como blockchain.com, o puedes instalar una wallet en tu computadora como Atomic wallet. Pero hay que tener en cuenta que la parte importante no es la cartera sino la llave privada de tu dirección. Esta puede ser importada a casi cualquier cartera dando te accesos a tus bitcoins. Si quieres un programa para crear direcciones y llaves privadas, te recomiendo Vanity-gen.

Cryptos could a good way if you choose a PoS coin. Some staking coins gives close to 1% in 10 days. Or you can choose more secure coins like ETH (After the PoS fork) who will pay almost 5% annually.

Holds coins like bitcoin is a bet, maybe could be a nice investment if you are ready to hold more than 5 years.

You are right, if suchmoon place a bet on DT to win 0.2125BTC if he loses the bet he will win 0.0125, and if he win the bet then he will end with cero No win and no lose. It is the chance to win 0.0125 with zero risks. But maybe such a small prize doesn't deserve the move.

Small risk brings small prices. And we could be sure suchmoon and eddie13 will go big or go home 

When you talk about the current status of Bitcoin you can see it from two different points of view:

The economic status: Bitcoin still high nowadays, and the current price brings big speculation, It is hard to predict if it will go up or down. But right now i would say it has a nice price.

The technology status: Right now Bitcoin is in version 0.19.0.1, se we have seen some nice steps in the bitcoin coding this year. So, this side is looking good too.

Crazy bet my friend suchmoon, I remember when casinos offer x5 if trump wins the elections, in that moment i place a bet and people were crazy saying i was wating my money. But it has a happy end.

The problem with this bet is the odds, as you can see in nitro if donal trumps win the house pays x2.125

This way if eddie13 places a bet on that site he could warrants a win. If trump wins he get 0.0125 and if trump loses he gets zero but he doesn't lose the risked 0.1

Es solo tema de perspectivas, no creo que BCH o BSV sean una amenaza para BTC. Fueron tecnologías implementadas gente con diferentes puntos de vista. Personalmente creo que el fork de BCH tenía una solución efectiva para no tener miles de transacciones atascadas como ha pasado hace unos años. El problema fue cuando CW armó su fiesta y nada mas quemó tanto la reputación de BCH como la de BSV.

Estos forks solo demostraron la descentralización de Bitcoin.

While Winklevoss Twins holds 100,000 BTC satoshi Nakamoto holds 1M BTC, that means Satoshi is 10 times more rich than Winklevoss Twins


Some whales are earlier adopters, people que get the coins when they cost less than 1 dollar. Search for some information about the topic and you will find some whales.

For sure it was a smart move buddy, and for sure you will see a big profit in 2020 from that investment. Just think about the guy who delivers 2 pizzas for 10,000 btc. after some years the amount of money for those pizzas is nuts. If you can hold what you get for the bike in the next 5 years, there will be a nice profit.

This is a scam for sure, you will only lise those $700 and you will never see the $30k. Thos service to ask you for money to make a withdrawal always ends with the service running out with your Money.

If he wants $700 to send you $30k why he doesn't take the $700 from the $30k?

And one last question, if he wants to send you $30k, why he wants to use an ATM? he can send that in BTC to your addy and let you exchange the money in your country.  

This is a trap my friend, be careful.

Is a nice step for Ukraine and for the cryptos. Is nice to see a country supporting cryptos a letting their civilians to use them with freedom. I'm waiting for my country to do the same, but it will take some time for México to see the light. We already have the fintech law, but it was made for big companies and not for simple humans. So, we need more laws about the topic.

Es una tendencia que ya se esta popularizando en los países de primer mundo, ni uno de ellos se quiere quedar atrás en esta paso tanto tecnológico como evolutivo. Esperemos que estos países opten por lanzar monedas mas descentralizadas de lo que nos ofreció Venezuela.

Me intriga que tanto va a estar envuelto facebook en el desarrollo de la criptomoneda estadounidense.
