I think yes, bitcoin is better than any banks because we can control our bitcoin,
many beneficial bitcoin than the banks or other third parties.
Include if we will send the money to other people with different countries,
bitcoin will be more fast, cheap than use banks and any other third parties.
I must, unfortunately, say that it's not true that bitcoin is faster than the bank or other third parties such as PayPal in term of sending money. It's right that bitcoin is far cheaper than PayPal or even your local bank but sometimes the transaction takes more than 15 minutes whereas with third parties or bank your money will arrive at the destination as soon as you click the send button, even with the international transaction. With bitcoin we can have full control of our funds, it might be one of the main advantages when you're using bitcoin but when you're facing the security problem such as hacking activities and so on which make your money get lost, there's no insurance to cover this. |

As the poll result says, OP is obviously been drinking.  To reach the state of Boring Bitcoin has to reach a million or more. It will be that point when no one will think of buying or trading Bitcoins coz of the price range.  Actually, the price range has nothing to do with it (demand). Bitcoin, as I've repeated many times in this forum, is flexible and with every amount of money you can buy bitcoin even if a bitcoin costs you 1 million dollars. When bitcoin just reaches a million or more, don't you think that it's actually makes bitcoin even more interesting? I guess mass adoption will be started when the price just reaches that high. |

It is not a wise decision to teach them in high school about bitcoin because they don't understand the technology first of all. Even though we explain to them very clearly about bitcoin, still it is very hard for them to understand about block chain and how it works, it really confuses a lot.
If you think that understanding blockchain and anything else regarding crypto world is too hard for high schoolers, then there's something wrong with you. Those students just need to know the basics, and blockchain is part of it. There's no need for teaching those students too far until crypto world's depth. So, they will not be getting confused because of it. Though I consider bitcoin is pretty important for students who want take or to learn about Technologies and Information categories furthermore, for additional knowledge of course. |

We need Mass adoption than Mainstream acceptance. Actually, we don't need Mainstream acceptance for Bitcoins, because it will make the things worse. Some people don't understand what it is and it is hard to make them realize when they don't want to. Will hold our Bitcoins for a better future and it will be.
You're wrong. Mainstream acceptance is what brings mass adoption and both are important things. When things getting mainstream, people will automatically learn what is it because of their curiosity and therefore they will understand it and there's nothing such as "Some people don't understand what it is and it is hard to make them realize when they don't want to". You can't force people to know bitcoin while they're having no interests. Just make this getting viral or any other things that can bring the whole cryptocurrencies world including bitcoin become mainstream. |

Hi all!
We are overwhelmed with the amount of response we have gotten with this campaign. We currently have over 40 messages to reply to and since our accout is new we can only reply every 360 seconds.
So please bare with us we will be in touch with you all shortly and also thank you to all people who have offered their help in running the campaign.
You can choose 25 out of all applicants according to your need. Also there is no need to reply each applicant just post names of 25 chosen one in opening post of this thread so they can wear signature and start. I am also the one who is waiting for your review and to wear your signature if accepted. That's right. Selecting from the private messages will seem to be pretty unfair for those who have applied in this thread. It's better to choose the participants directly from this thread than from the private messages and you will not waste your time replying for every 5 minutes. Just my 2 cents  . |

Imagine if this was a lot of money. This has made me feel concerned using btc for big amounts. It's clear that your fault makes your transaction really slow to get confirmed due to the low fee. You should check the current fee/bytes first before sending to make sure your transaction's fee wasn't below the current requirement. Even if you send 500 BTC at the same time if you give above of the current requirement fee your transaction will be confirmed fastly. Though, honestly, I've made a mistake about setting up low fee same as you which is 0.0001 recently and luckily got confirmed within ~30 hours, my bad indeed. For another time, I really recommend you to use some sort of bitcoin wallets that have a feature to set up the requirement fee automatically. |

Couldn't Satoshi Nakamoto be an A.I. Bitcoin's implementation was certainly complex involving 31,000 lines of code. Bitcoin was probably created by an A.I. What do you guys think?
31 thousand lines of code may sound like a lot but the truth is, in terms of length that is not much many games probably have millions of lines of code and those games were developed by humans, besides developing an AI that could write those lines of code is probably more difficult than for a human to write the lines of code. That's right. And for example, according to this site: https://www.wired.com/2015/09/google-2-billion-lines-codeand-one-place/, it's clearly be said that google which developed by "human" contain about 2 Billion lines of code. To make an AI which could build bitcoin from scratch, It must have strong logic and until now it's proven that human can't develop an AI that thinks by itself and could invent complicated thing such as bitcoin. Therefore, assuming Satoshi Nakamoto as an A.I just doesn't make sense, I would prefer the theory that said Satoshi Nakamoto is a group of developers. |

Then it will be more complicated to build an AI which could create bitcoin with complex 31,000 lines code.
There's many thing that more complicated than bitcoin and possible to be developed by human. For example when bill gates first built his Windows OS.

So here: This bounties thread are now closed because the project is now (I assume) discontinued due to the devs ( Andrewpenn and Richard Aldridge ) are officially the thieves of this project as for the recent update from Lauda
Yes, I'm working on everything. One of the thieves has contacted me; they are very sorry and have already apologized to me: - The damage is nowhere near as suspected; it looks like the data on the website was faked (less than 8 BTC was stolen; our Google Form does confirm this story so far as < 5 BTC was reported).
- "Andrew Penn" has paid back ~4.3 BTC to the escrow address (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/5be2f935373fc19789199622a4792668c20a05f6705d7663df3a387851b43ccb) and another ~3.2 BTC + funds for campaigns is due (taken by "Richard").
- It is not exactly known who Richard is at this time, and it looks like he suckered in this young individual into an "easy money scheme".
We are trying to figure out everything and calculate repayment options. In the most optimal scenario, investors should expect a maximum of ~3-4% loss rate at (escrow fees as per agreement, TX fees and/or other cost). Worst case scenario estimate (if the first point is is true) right now is a loss of ~25% per investment.
This situation can be solved as I had previously anticipated. People tend to make mistakes. Please do not file any reports, and remain patient. Please submit the Google Form if you have been scammed / invested on Friday (after 8 AM GMT): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfGaaai3TRKnag0G8jvG_9qmJnLkMFsx2yHPTTJpvDp1ZYXOg/viewform?c=0&w=1
The current situation is now: some of the investor's funds have been returned to the escrows' address. We're (probably) not going to deduct any amounts from this funds and will be facing the worst situation which is will not be paid because we're actually promised will be paid in ASC token which is now worthless and inexistent. For further updates, I will post in this thread.
Update: I've got some information from the team who are investigating the issues and we will not receive anything as a reward because as you know, we're only promised ASC token rewards, therefore, we will not receive any rewards in form of bitcoin and seem to receive none, Apology for wasting your time in this campaign and doing many tasks which ended up become nothing. |

Guys, wait for further information. The website down means I can't distribute and even if I could, the token will be worthless. Just be patient, I'll give an update immediately if there's something important coming out.

The bounties thread currently in pause due to some issues regarding ASC Team: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1749935.0, for the time, being, I encourage any participant to stop their activity regarding any bounty tasks Current update : As stated by Darkstar and Sparkit, we are currently discussing and have been discussing this whole situation via telegram. Myself, Lauda, Minerjones, Sparkit, Darkstar, Superwoot, and Lutpin are the participants in the discussion.
We have control of 7btc currently. This was the amount invested as of this morning. All of the funds invested past 3am EST we had no connection with. We are currently waiting to hear from Mr Joel_Janston as well. He has been MIA for 24 hours, at least on his main account.
I have tagged Joel and the Ascendancyteam accounts as i believe none of the rest of the users mentioned above are involved in the scam. The 8 hour window before funds were transferred opened up possibilities we didnt forsee obviously. We were talking with the team on skype right up until 10 minutes before the website went down. Nothing seemed fishy at all. Least not in my mind.
As far as the 7btc is concerned, we are discussion the appropriate course of action to take. Should we just refund the users that invested this 7btc? Should we give everyone who can prove they invested a %? I personally think since we never controlled the later investments then we should only refund the investors whos money we controlled.
Ill update this thread with any other information we come up with when we reach a decision or whatnot.
I apologize to everyone involved in the shit end of the deal. We obviously didnt expect this to happen
The issues are now under investigation and currently waiting for a further update. I strongly advise to stop your activities regarding any bounty tasks.

Unless Faucets make you money, it will save you time, you can do mininig instead, nobody will give you anything for free.
nope i think that there was a free thing, for example, is the signature of this campaign. You can use this method for free, and there are many other free methods such as adverising blog, youtube and similar, Nothings in this world is free For earning from signature campaigns we first need to became jr member And we won't earn by just joining them we would have to maintain ourselves their for eg if you join a campaign you won't get free money but you would have to post for them And if you are talking about faucets then it's also not free We have to watch many boring advertisements and then all we get is a small amount of satisfied Yes, it's true. Faucets are wasting of time, in my opinion, to little money for to much time spend. Regarding signature campaigns, it's not free money or money for nothing, of course. You must be able to write good quality posts, not to spam, must have requested forum rank, spend some time and write etc. It's not free but paid work. Unless you can gather tonnes of referral who actively claiming every time then you will have worth money to be earned from the faucet and not going to waste your time even 1 minute because you will just earn the bonus with barely doing anything. Earning from the faucet is just how you can take advantages of people around you by teaching something and then earning indirectly. |

I was ignoring bitcoin for over 2 years because I kept thinking that it was some illegal, geeky and shady thing that I should better stay away from.
same to me, i don't search more about bitcoin before when i read someone write about bitcoin in one of website. i remember that in 2010 i already make account in blockchain but i don't buy any bitcoin until in the middle of 2015, i read that bitcoin is another source to make money and when i check in my notes, i am regrets why i don't buy bitcoin in the past. Well, there's something odd in your post above, if you're referring to blockchain.info which you said you have been registered there in the past (2010) but according to the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain.info it's launched in August 2011. But whether you're lying or not, who knows? |

One danger is that digital currency is used just like traditional bill-and-coin currency for purchases and online payments, but it's also considered a commodity, just like silver or gold. That means it's just as vulnerable to market fluctuations as any other commodity or stock would be. the market can move up and down—and, as is the nature of a young and active commodity—it can sometimes do so quite wildly.
actually people are still adopting bitcoin and still less than 1 % people are using bitcoin and in which may be a few hundred are able to use it as currency, while the remaining people still do not have the facility to use bitcoin as currency in local shops, therefore most of the people are using bitcoin as investment and for trading, i think when they will able to use bitcoin for shopping as currency then people will mostly use bitcoin as currency and not investment. Just by your statement, Bitcoin used by 1% of the people in the world and you see it is at 1000$. Just imagine if 50% people uses bitcoin how high the price will be because as demand increases, the price will increase too. There is no Danger of CrytoCurreny to anyone other than Fiat as, Soon Fiat will be vanished by bitcoins. 50% Of people around the world use bitcoin is just too dreamy, even I'm sure dollar didn't reach that many users, even if 10% of population in this world were using bitcoin, it would giving a big impact and might sky-rocketing the price due to uncontrollable demand, though it's just (if). lol i even not sure if the whole bitcoin supply can fulfill the demand if then half of world population start using bitcoin actively , it was dreamy indeed but not impossible. as i believe there is nothing impossible . nothing to worry about bitcoin , people just too anxious on something that even not sure. Bitcoin can due to its flexibility of having decimals and smaller units such as satoshi, mbtc, and so on. If half of the world population are starting to actively use bitcoin, the price might go up and those users may have smaller amounts of bitcoin in their wallet but the value still the same as usual due to the overwhelming price of bitcoin. |

Can I submit all my tweets at the end of third week In the space provided ... I'm not too comfortable submitting the form daily

because they have a stake on it
they have interest on more fiat going into btc
there are certainly differences of fiat to bitcoin that make a person more interested in using bitcoin than fiat, for myself of course bitcoin be keeping a secret my transaction so I prefer bitcoin for this Your transaction will remain secret as long as if no one recognises you as the owner of the wallets, if they do, then your transaction will be revealed because blockchain will always keep your transaction history. So I must say that the secret status of your transaction is temporary in this case. |

There is no danger in it if you manage it wisely.
If you're referring to manage the "security" wisely then it might be true, but, you still have a chance to be hacked and any other things which threatening your security may happen, though, OP here is talking about how if the government rip your money off if you were using cryptocurrencies after the paper money have perished, the government can do anything if it's necessary even robbing their own citizen. |

I won't say that bitcoin will always remain number 1 but yes it will remain number 1 for the long term. Any altcoin might come up with huge market cap and large community so it's not impossible kind of thing. However bitcoin as a early player of the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, it is difficult for altcoins to compete with bitcoin as of now.
More expensive is not meant to be cryptocurrency number 1. Pound more expensive dollar, but the dollar is regarded as a world currency. in the same way and has may not be the most expensive relative to other violas, but being the first. Although, in the case of the dollar, that with Championship BitCoin may lost due to circumstances That's right. To determine whether a currency deserves to be called number 1 currency or world's leading there are many factors and the value is just one of many factors. I will take another example that proves the value of coin didn't make the coin number one, as for example is Zcoin which is lately ever reached about few bitcoin for a ZCoin and now as you can see by yourself it's no potential competitor anymore for bitcoin in my perspective. |
