1. Adoption can't be quick like all have speculated, even to see small changes in worldwide scenario it will require really long time and regarding bitcoin it is really new way to do financial transaction so people will need really long time to understand and start using bitcoin all over the world.

2. There are many scam websites which also use other payment methods, so i don't think bitcoin should be blamed on this.

3. Coinbase is centralized platform so they are not more than like paypal, bitcoin is designed to be used without any third party downloading own bitcoin wallet or electrum like desktop wallet will remove this types of problems with using coinbase.

4. Why recurring payments is must?  

5. Bitcoin transaction is transparent, better to say its untraceable which is one of the feature which add more value to use of bitcoin. It can't be removed or replaced.  

There is no any fixed amount of bitcoin transaction that will be in queue, it keep on changing but over time total unconfirmed transaction is increasing due to lots of transaction with less than recommended fee.

You better post your transaction id so that we can give proper estimation of the time by when it will get confirmation. In the meanwhile check recommended fee here https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ based on your total transaction size.

Have heard about changetip but can't find them useful or atleast i don't see any use for me. Recently micropayment platform faucetbox also announced it will be shutting down due to very low revenue. Now another bitcoin micropayment platform dying, anybody have good idea how they could have survived?

I thought of one idea to increase faucetbox revenue by adding one banner ad from faucetbox on faucet script which can't be removed by faucetowner and faucetbox could have sold that banner space on bidding.

To know better about how activity is calculated go through this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582736.msg6371103#msg6371103
It could be enough for you to understand how activity increases.

EDIT: also look at the above two links posted. Look at this spreadsheet which have actual time period when activity is calculated https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA/edit#gid=1012758442

If they are saying they may send you money when they will receive the refund for the sake of their reputation. However it seems their worker have done mistake with bank address and make you wait for so long which is really bad practice and also if they were really concern about your situation they should send you payment from their capital which they don't seem to be doing for you.

Keep updating, hope you will get those payment but thanks for making other aware about the real scene behind okcoin.

Depends upon the size of your total capital ready for trading. If you are have around 10+ bitcoin you can get decent profit 4-5%+ from day trading if you diverse your investment in multiple alts with high volume. Don't think about quickly doubling your capital within few days or weeks. Even if you can earn 20-30% profit in a month, that will be nice than just saving your bitcoin in one address.

Never buy any coin which are pumping high, don't sell being panic when price is getting correction.

Really nice prank 
Actually that grandma's and his supposed granddaughter's face was blurred in video don't know why they have done it. Could that be request by grandma not to show her face or either channel have done that by themselves. It seems grandma loves privacy..

Trumps victory had some temporary effect on election day however still what is his thoughts regarding regulation, restrictions in the use of bitcoin is unclear.

I don't think they have any interest to make competition on bitcoin pools or mining power and what USA or any government can create is bitcoin clone which will be centralized and used by banks, so better not to compare anything like that replacing decentralized bitcoin.

I don't think there is any webpage that suggest fees for alternative coins along with bitcoin. For bitcoin there is https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ but for other alts no similar site can be found. However there is one reddit post comparing transaction fees for few coins here https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/48zd7t/which_coin_has_the_cheapest_transaction_fees_atm/
Don't know how accurate are those calculations.

Obviously the volume indian bitcoin exchange platform is not that big to put any effect on global bitcoin market.

Looking at the current swings, i am also quite sure that this can't be anything other than pure manipulation. But in long terms whales even can't hold bitcoin price down.

Every price correction/dump is opportunity to buy more for long term holding.

Are you talking about design of those crowdfunding sites or their success rate? You can check https://bnktothefuture.com/search/pitches there are many bitcoin/blockchain related projects listed which have gained millions of seed money through crowdfunding.

Scams are everywhere to not get scammed everybody have to use their own brains rather than trying to get lured by unexpectedly high return those scams talks about.

You can look at bitcoin whitepaper here https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf to understand what actually is bitcoin and how transactions work. As bitcoin is open source you can also play with bitcoin codebase if you want or to learn or add some feature to it.

I think he want to get cheap publicity with the words against bitcoin. He is earning with his platform circle which will not exist if bitcoin doesn't exist in future, so there is no any reason for him other than to grab publicity by saying this.

However who cares whatever he says? Better to look at what core dev talk about rather than all this businessman who try to create fud against bitcoin.

Waiting time to claim seems 1 minute, i mean waiting time after site loads which i think is poor practice. Better you lower it to 30 seconds as your site load way faster than 1 minute. Also if you can remove pop up ads you have which is bad practice and also it seem there is more than one pop up ads.

There is also error in your solvemedia captcha

Searched whole article and can't find a single word "bitcoin" so there is no relation of this article and bitcoin.

He is not the real satoshi behind bitcoin for sure, he have already cleared his name and he can't be satoshi.

Just curious faucetbox admin,
Why you guys haven't thought of selling faucetbox to some guy/company rather than just closing it completely.

Sorry if it has been answered already, give me link.

Ups (pumps) = Good to sell part of your bitcoin to have some cash in hands to buy cheap bitcoin on dumps
Downs (dumps) = Good opportunity to buy cheap bitcoins using all fiat you have or half of fiat.

If you are looking for long term holding, don't look at short term ups and downs just relax with your bitcoin in safe place and keep an eye on bitcoin markets.

The advantage of Ups and Downs (swing) in bitcoin price is opportunity of profit it create for day traders.

You can check list of bitcoin debit cards here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1410577.0
Where you can deposit bitcoin and get bitcoin physical/virtual visa cards which you can use worldwide.

One that i have used before was cryptopay physical debit card. But better check each of them to see they deliver cards to your country or not.

What are the tags to be used while posting? And also is this official announcement or there is any link to this announcement in bitcoin.com?

There seems several issues no any item is displaying in homepage and even when gone through category like this page https://www.bitabay.com/browse.php?id=153 (Category : All > Music> Instruments) it is not showing anything however in category list it shows 2 items listed.

Also those demo account username and password not working.

Checked few of the related domains and script for pixel ad and found most of the related domains are available as well as script is also available for free but may need few modification. So anybody can just use that free script and start similar projects, but the hardest part will be to find advertisers. 1BTC per pixel sound really high.

If he have got payment for those ads than OP seem to have already covered enough cost to run this site for few years.
