A friend I introduced to Bitcoin, phoned me today asking why China banned Bitcoin. He quoted a article in his local news paper, who quoted Bloomberg : https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-04/china-central-bank-says-initial-coin-offerings-are-illegalThe mainstream media has no f#$%^ clue what the difference between ICO's and Bitcoin is. Anyone can create a fancy webpage and a few PDF's with information on their ICO offering and then sell tokens for it. Initial coin offering (ICO) is an unregulated means of crowdfunding via the use of cryptocurrency. The term is often confused with 'token sale' or crowdsale, which refers to a method of selling participation in an economy, giving investors access to the features of a particular project starting at a later date. Please phone your local newspapers and explain the difference to them, because ICO's are not Bitcoin! People will do anything to sell a few extra news papers or to receive a few extra clicks on their websites, even if they publish total rubbish. They should research a subject before they publish garbage like this. It just shows you how unreliable information can be that are being published in the media. This might even be done on purpose. ^grrrrrrrr^ The MSM has no reason to objectively tell the actual truth. Ratings are all that really matter. Hey, they banned bitcoin!!! Says the MSM... = ratings!!! Because now people panic and think Bitcoin is dead for the 2,000th time or something. They don't want Bitcoin to continue to succeed because it is against their best interests. |

I do not see how anyone here voted yes on having a bitcoin bank.
The entire point of using bitcoin and having bitcoin is that you are in control of the wallet addresses you own, in control of your pass phrase, in control of your priveate keys(which means you control your bitcoin and no one else does).
Why do we need a bitcoin bank to hold anything for us?it makes no sense and goes against everything.
I hope anyone reading this understands a bitcoin bank plays right into the hands of what government wants.... Do not fall for a scam.

As I predicted a while ago, major big blocker astroturfing would kick in again after segwit activation:  The Bitmain-Ver PBOC sponsored attack on Bitcoin is increasingly obvious as the spam attacks become increasingly less organic and happening right in key moments where hardfork FUD is being spread. Segwit2x will soon join XT, Classic, and Unlimited into the also ever increasing list of Failed Bitcoin Takeover attempts. Sorry, no hard forks for you. The mempol is getting filled again with funny transactions.  The spam machine is on and so is the propaganda one. Obvious example of abnormal upvoting in reddit:  3399 upvotes on an obvious "hey guys im acting neutral but the fees are soo high! :/" type of thread. That type of activity on the votes is extremely obvious to be manipulated. Also there is evidence of tons of reddit accounts being bought as they became active all at the same time after years of inactivity, https://archive.fo/lPbSSNotice how the user has deleted his past activity now that the account was caught: https://www.reddit.com/user/gtmbarchived just in case: https://archive.is/ee0Mdand its well known Roger Ver pays people to retweet his shit: http://birds.bitcoin.com/The agenda is obvious. Notice that by supporting the segwit2x camp, the BCash camp benefits because the more disturbance there is with Bitcoin, the more Bitcoin Cash will gain as noobs will see it as a safe haven when it's the opposite. Don't fall for the hardforker's propaganda, or you will be sorry when you lose your money. Rushing a hardfork in a month with inferior developers into inferior software creating more confusion and a price crash due 3 Bitcoins is not what anyone holding BTC without no external agendas want, so be sure to not fall for the FUD and be sure to not support these scammers. I have seen this played out. So what will be done to fix it then? Miners can just easily reject spam transactions, and already do so. There really isn't a problem that can't be fixed, but for whatever reason, miners want to include spam transactions so that everything is clogged and they get more in fees. The incentive is for the bitcoin network to function, but not be as fast. I would not be surprised if the miners themselves are spamming transactions so that they can collect higher transaction fees. |

They forked BTC and made BCC. This means I had some BCC I never paid for, so I just put it in an exchange and brought some BTC with it. Now, I only had 0.3 BTC but there must be with loads who have a darn sight more and who got a LOT of BCC for nothing. This raises some questions. - Can it be good for the crypto economy if a load of money suddenly appears out of nowhere?
- How much BCC immediately got converted back into BTC?
- What's to stop people forking again, just to make a killing like this?
Was BCC good or bad in this respect? BCC was good and bad. Good because the people who wanted it now have their own coin. It got rid of the toxicness that was everyone arguing all the time. Bad in that it probably confused a lot of people. But most people don't know about regular bitcoin anyways, so it probably didn't confuse too many. |

The campaign is still active, sorry we had a lot to deal with lately, payments will be made a bit late, don't worry everything is still counted and you won't miss a single coin  I had a question, it looks like the wallet address I provided utilized FreeWallet, and it does not have WWAM listed as a supported token. https://freewallet.org/support/knowledgebase/tokens/What should I do now? What wallet can I download that supports WWAM? Hello Campaign Manager CCEDKaps Would you please revoke tokens from my previous address and update my ETH address to 0xa2E901b6cF4D6Fc6AAC806E4EA531dd20dCcd0aC My previous ETH address did not support tokens. Sorry for the trouble on this! |

According to my friend preev.com, as of press time, the value of Bitcoin is standing at $2,351. Though I would say that this still considered as a feat, some are worried because it almost reached $2,800 again after the correction that happened days ago.
I have read that the decline can partly be contributed to newcomers especially neophyte traders who still have to be well-versed on the market...and can easily be ignited to do panic selling once they can fell that anything can be wrong.
Against this backdrop...are you holding on to your Bitcoin or transferring it into another digital currency?
It is interesting to look back on this. If you had bitcoin when it hard forked, you would have also got the Bitcoin Cash. Just by holding, at current price you have almost 5,000 USD + the current price of Bitcoin Cash of 610 USD. You would have more than doubled your holding if you sold right now, if you bought in when it was 2,351. |

Hello All,
What you think is the best investment to gain steady income in btc without actively doing anything?
So no trading/gambling/loaning etc.
Steady income more likely to be 'small & secure' than 'big & risky'.
Thanks,
BR Oinas
You made this post on June 12th. If you would have bought bitcoin and held on to it you would have made a good profit. June 12th the price of btc was 2,965 USD, today it is almost 5,000 USD. OP, did you buy some then? Did you listen to everyone's advice and buy?? |

Everyone that is currently "investing" in BTC and other cryptos are the "crash test dummies" of the future.
Most major banks and many large/wealthy governments are coming up with their own cryptocurrencies.
Why have these entities not released them yet? Because they are watching, waiting, and learning from all of the mistakes that other cryptos are making.
High fees.
Slow transactions.
Volatility.
Insecurity of wallets and exchanges.
Public distrust.
Reactions to media attention.
Criminality/money laundering.
Backed by fiat currency.
Lack of patent.
And on and on.
I've been reading this forum for days and I don't see this big picture addressed except in rare cases. Almost everyone making predictions truly believes that BTC will be around for 50-100 years let alone 2-3. Every day that goes by is just one more day that forces and entities with far bigger market caps than $100 billion are learning from all of the mistakes and problems plaguing the existing paradigm.
If one is to make a wise investment, they need to be aware of how quickly these markets can change...and literally overnight. I don't expect much from the fanatics other than irrational reasons why my train of thought is flawed, but I do hope I see some of those individuals that are usually silent come out of the woodwork to offer solutions. In other words, BTC can only survive if its community takes a mostly pragmatic point of view. Otherwise it is doomed to be raped and discarded in a way that will leave most reliving their failure to act like that will leave permanent emotional scars like that of PTSD.
There are many altcoins that aren't considered crash test dummies. Obviously ETH has the ability to launch all of these different tokens and start new businesses. That is pretty amazing to me. ETH is more like a stock offering and a way for new innovation to raise capital. Bitcoin is more of the store of value, cash, peer to peer transaction we want to use for everything else. |

I heard that bitcoin is a good investment for making a huge profit in the future , is that right ? Because i want to buy some bitcoin in these days .
Yes. If you were to have bought bitcoin when it was 200 USD 2 years ago, right now it is almost worth 5,000 USD.... What do you think? Does that seem profitable to you? Amazon stock for example is only 1,000USD +. That stock isn't ever going much higher unless it splits in half or something. |

What is the obstacles, challenges and problems that Bitcoin can face it in 5 years? How we can help Bitcoin to take more authoritative place in the world of currency system?
Well the number one obstacle is scalability, if we assume the last 5 years will triple or quadruple in the next 5 years, we would need 3MB or 4MB blocks. So segwit largely has this under control for the next year or two, but then in 3 years you would likely need Segwit + 2MB blocks. |

I feel that blockchain is here to stay but can't help thinking there might be a SLIGHT possibility that BTC wont get mainstream. In the UK, I don't know of one place that accepts BTC on the high street and I'm not a hermit.
I was filling the car up a few days ago and thought what it would be like to pay with BTC.
Maybe it will never be illegal in the UK or my government would have said so already but it may never become mainstream and ONLY niche.
The price we dream of for a BTC to be 5 figures is the day my mum has her own BTC account which she takes travelling and she 55 years old. Blockchain is staying but can it force its way into mainstream if given time. Will it happen or NOT. Is the fact that japan have adopted it and they are a developed country means that its ONLY a matter of time the west adopts it.
10-15 years is hard to imagine and so far down the road...
It wil go mainstream, in the sense that more people will use it than now. Not sure if it would ever get 10% of world population for example, because we don't have a road map for that beyond LN, which is confusing to noobies anyway.... we will see. |

You know, it is funny that there even is a such thing as a bit-license... What a stupid concept. The entire point of bitcoin is to be decentralized, and here comes the government trying to take and grab any part of it they can.
The only reason things aren't adopted so mainstream for bitcoin right now is due to the government getting in the way. They are making barriers to entry for setting up exchanges, which in turn only allows the current exchanges to grow larger and become Oligopolies... Almost no new exhcnage can come into existence, and that limits the amount of people who can advertise for BTC.
if we had more exchanges, they would be advertising BTC and other cryptos to get peoples attention, since coinbase is huge they don't have to advertise, they just do what they do.

In the next 100 years, do you think Governments will create their own cryptocurrency or digital currency that will replace fiat currency, i.e. coins, paper money, the paper dollar, etc.?
If it does happen, will it be like bitcoin or will it still represent gold like how today's money works?
I would think they will yes. Unfortunately a lot of banks and big government and big BS will happen.... By BS I mean stuff like central banking and controlling the coins and all that crap. Likely wouldn't be open source either and they would have the right to censor and ban people from using it(which is scary!!) |

Would banks and governments actively work and implement countermeasures to undermine this process? Are the underestimating the potential of cryptocurrencies by investing in some of them?
Do you think there is a possibility of cryptocurrencies being banned in the future for the reason of being a threat to "normal" currencies?
The fact that any government and or bank would be involved with a crypto currency is the exact defintion of undermining the entire point of a crypto currency. We want things to be decentralized, and away from all of the governments and banks. By getting them working with code developers and all that it would create new coins people would be confused about, many average people would be duped into the crypto world, when in reality whatever those coins the banks/governments make are just as crap as fiat and central banking. |
