First was bitcoin
Second was cryptocurreny

Now they listed "satoshi" and defined it as:

I'm not sure if there would be any impact on bitcoin's popularity but it's good that the word has been acknowledged although I think it's a bit late.

What word will be next?

By the way, a question was posted here before How long until "satoshis'" make in into the (oxford) dictionary?, we know the answer now 

Unfortunately people can't stop emphasizing on about the price of btc because it's what gives the excitement, the technological aspect does not get much attention from many btc holders at this point, if only people can actually stop worry too much about price, go less about the predictions, and talk more about the possibilities, it will be nice.

I'm buying ~500$ in Bitcoin every month with part of my salary. I have a stable job and my company is doing good. I'm wondering if it worth to take 20.000$ to buy 2 BTC now and pay the 500$ as loan installment instead of buying sats every month. I believe in the potential of Bitcoin to reach 50k in a couple years, but it wouldn't be possible to buy near half of BTC at the 500$ rate, so this would be something like an "advance". Hypothetically (but still possible in some probability), if BTC collapses and never recover from 8k, I would still be paying this loan for about 3 years but wouldn't starve or something like that, it would just sux for a while, since I still have another source of income. I know it's not the place to ask I will do whatever I think it's best, but if you were in my position, would you do it?

Seven most imminent trends everyone should get ready for in 2020 by Bernard Marr. Blockchain technology too got its place secured among the list.

What you all think of these with comparison to the blockchain technology. Each and everything mentioned were completely associated with the technology based development and someway each gets associated with the other by some means.

Hi guys ! Thats a question i do to myself very often , and it always looks like the right answer. My main coin for now its XRP (like 3000) and a very few BTC (0.005).

I hold XRP from long time but i see BTC price raise a lot and XRP don't do much. They have a consolidated project but no matters what BTC price its still mandatory.

So the question is , should i sold like 2500XRP and buy BTC when this one have a price drop?

I know its something i had to decide myself , just looking for what you guys think.
Thanks!

What do you think of this analysis?
Everything until now (even the recent re-accumulation phase is just as planned). Can the push reach the new highs like 600k? The date says 25. May probably with libra effect included in the growth.

Good Day Folks!

I have been inactive for quite a few months due to the pressure and great deal of workload in academics. I am now a Freshman Student of Computer Engineering in our local University and I just got curious what major in Computer Engineering should I take wherein the development of blockhain technology is included.

I am just fascinated how blockchain works when it comes to financial industry. Blockchain technology is advancing at a very fast pace and most of the different sectors that makes up the society are utilizing the perks of the said technology.

The major subjects offered in Computer Engineering in our local University are as follows:

Machine Learning
Software Development
Technopreneurship
Embedded System
Network Administration
Signal Processing
Operating System
Information Systems
Telecommunications
Signal Processing
Control Systems and Instrumentation

Also, I am interested when it comes to financial area. I would like to combine my little knowledge when it comes to finance and my course!

Why isn’t the official launch of BAKkT driving btc prices up but instead it’s going the opposite way?

Are investors afraid of a massive dump coming up or what are the possible reasons there isn’t any traction for BTC price ?

I am new to forums so I really don't know which board this type of post needs to go in so please forgive me if this is in the wrong place. I have also only been involved with cryptocurrency for the last 10 months.

I have an account with Coinbase and until recently I have had no problems or issues with depositing or withdrawing USD to or from my bank account to or from my Coinbase USD wallet. But now I have been restricted for some reason and Coinbase will not tell me why so that I can fix the issue. Coinbase support will not help me so that's why I am turning to a forum to see if there is anything that I can do to buy bitcoin. I have also tried to do the same with other cryptocurrency companies but they also have restricted me from transferring money from my bank account to any wallet so, therefore, I cannot buy bitcoin. I also don't want to use P2P sites to buy bitcoin because I have had friends that have been robbed even from people with 100% ratings and high volume. I don't know where to go or what to do to buy bitcoin. Any suggestions anyone?

There are already countless of cases involving QR codes. And if the data you are speaking of-- that "four out of five results returned when asking Google for a 'bitcoin qr generator' lead to scam websites"-- is true, it is further confirmed that using QR code is of very high risk. If the QR code does not come from a very reliable source such as your very own wallet, it is much better to avoid it. Using the actual address is not too much of a hassle as against using QR codes, for example. Better be safe than sorry!

I am just curious to know if you can buy lottery tickets for your own national lottery in your country. I am not referring to all these scam gambling sites with supposed "Provably Fair" lottery systems.

I bought some lottery tickets online and I was only presented with the old traditional payment options and I figured it is time for us to approach these Lottery operators, to ask for a Bitcoin payment option.  

If enough people ask for this, they just might consider giving us that option to pay with bitcoins.    What payment options do you have for online lottery in your country?

Hello,

Suppose I would expand my BTC portfolio to 10 or 15 BTC.....how would you store such a big amount of coins?

Ofcourse I would use a hardware wallet, but if I store them all on 1 wallet and I lose the wallet, or the house gets on fire and it burns, then I have lost those coins forever? Or are there still ways to get to the coins somehow in that case?

Would you advise to store let's say 15 BTC on 3 different hardware wallets (5BTC each), or would you spread it out even more? Ofcourse I'm not gonna buy more than max. 3 hardware wallets but in that case maybe 15 different laptop wallets (Electrum, Jaxx, Exodus etc.) with 1BTC each on it is safer?

I'm looking for the safest way to store a big amount of BTC and to minimize the risks of losing a big amount.

Wait? Let me read it carefully?
I think the information on the article is about the new expansion of Binance to have customers from US.
It is good news for investors or traders from US, they will have a chance to join Binance legally.
So, I don't see the issue about "US government trying to control crypto" there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if the US government tries to control crypto, I am not sure it is possible like controlling USD.
I can't imagine how the US government claims to be the controller and make some regulations for crypto space.
Did the US government create crypto space? Even if they provide some proofs, I doubt the community around the world will agree.
