6581  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ARGENTINA TO USE BITCOIN FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER on: June 06, 2018, 03:22:51 PM
A SEPA transfer takes less than 24 hours too. It's just that some banks credit your account after 24 hours because of whatever reason they have. But some banks credit your account within 12 hours or less.

And I agree with @stompix if Argentina is the only country then how an international transfer can be done
As well, using Bitcoin directly and yourself will cost you less

At least the team started to take actions very fast. And didn't hide behind their keyboards like some teams do.

The importance of Block Chain in the future of technology is immense. Because this technology has improved people's life. People can earn it using it and are moving forward economically. People are buying everything with the help of this and can transfer money to anywhere.

What're you talking about? How the blockchain technology improved people"s life? Most of the blockchain projects are still under R&D. The ones alive belong to big conpanies like Walmart, IBM, etc

People can earn it using it
How I can earn blockchain? Please teach me, I want one at home to be swag

The future of the blockchain technology is outside the crypto world and there are a lot of better to do with it than transfer money

The upgrade is done automatically.
I think your problem is simply you're missing to add the image tag to your post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3208091.msg33322463#msg33322463)

The correct way is to post like this
Code:
[img]insert image link here[/img]

for example, in your post, the image shall be posted like this
Code:
[img]https://i.imgur.com/EuxJfO7.png[/img]

Additionally, you can wear the "Copper Member"  title if you want, it should be in your account settings.
Hope that help

@OP

Gold is volatile, Silver and co are too. The USD/EUR pair is volatile but it's used daily. Ok you can say it's not the same volatility volume but still.
And what about if people stop to use the dollar or a bank run movement?

Bitcoin is the first implementation of a concept called "cryptocurrency"

Bitcoin isn't the first crypto currency, there are several before. You have to take a look decades ago. The base of Bitcoin starts before Satoshi. The Cypherpunks and crypto-anarchists were the first to advocate privacy. Motivating people to write encryption programs to protect themselves in a Manifesto http://nakamotoinstitute.org/cypherpunk-manifesto/


Before Bitcoin we had several digital currencies, Nick Szabo is one of the first when he created Bit Gold.

Satoshi proposed Bitcoin in 2008 at the same time of the financial crisis in 2008 with the message "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/chancellor-alistair-darling-on-brink-of-second-bailout-for-banks-n9l382mn62h

Most people interested in the project were cryptographers, Cypherpunks, and crypto-anarchists since privacy is their Moto.

@dmwardjr

It's one of the strong points Zencash has: the community side. The team really listen to and consider what the Zen community thinks and what it wants. It's not really "I decide alone"
6588  Other / Meta / Re: It is true that old btctalk accounts are auto locked? on: June 03, 2018, 08:34:35 PM
Only the inactive accounts (before 2015 I think). To recover their account they need to follow the requirement. To know it, they just need to read the sticky thread on this board.
How long it takes is up to the Admins (and/or the mods if they can unlock it)

The Irony
Giving all your personal information for the sake of KYC, in a forum related to cryptocurrencies where privacy has more value than most of the other niches.
Soon users will ask "Why no GDPR on BitcoinTalk?"

Personally, I don't participate in ICO so I am not concerned but if I was I wouldn't give my personal info to be stored on the forum server with the risk to get the same event that we saw back in 2015. I wouldn't give to a bounty manager or ICO's website either
6591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: VISA has collapsed on: June 03, 2018, 07:29:09 PM
Bitcoin can't replace credit card now. There are issues like, scalability, confirmations time, transaction fees.
So no one is accepting bitcoin as payment, price is too volatile.

Maybe lighting network can help but im not sure if it could solve all the issues about it.

Lightening network can only solve the transaction confirmation speed problem but until bitcoin's price is stable, which quite possible will never happen, we wont see mass adoption. Imagine if a business collects $200,000.00 at the start of the week and at the end of the week, its only worth $150,000.00 .losses like that can kill businesses.

Businesses don't create a crap ICO to collect money. And businesses work with fiats. How do you want a business pays the taxes, offices, workers with cryptos.
They borrow money to the banks and refund the funds within 10-20 years, or they already have the funds. Crowdfunding is not so much used but imagine if every new company has to start an ICO to collect funds.....
6592  Other / Meta / Re: What is going on in the Serious discussion section? on: June 03, 2018, 07:18:17 PM
My salary is 6.2usd per day
The answer to what is motivating these shitbags overall is right here.  The poor, ignorant souls in the Philippines realize they can earn far more by spamming bitcointalk than they can doing manual labor in their country.  There's probably nobody left to do those jobs in that country, because everybody is here on the forum writing nonsense and spamming Facebook and Twitter.

As to why these people are writing this trash in Serious Discussion, my guess is that they're ignorant of what that section is and that they can't advertise in it.  The one I quoted above IS probably trying to get merits, but this is typical of shitposters from this section of the world--they don't realize how bad their English is and what nonsense they're writing.  They get no respect or merit from me.

Edit:  mdayonliner, I do believe you're from the Philippines and you're a rare exception to what I wrote above.  No offense meant to you personally.  This is just something I've observed a lot on bitcointalk. 
Some users consider bounty/sig campaigns as a professional career. You can see multiple topics like "Should I leave my job for bounties" "What is the best crypto or regular job" "I am a trader" (whisper: traded 40 bucks once or twice)

Sometimes there are some interesting discussions started but after 3 pages reading the replies (bitcoin is good because the moon, bitcoin gives me full income I believe in crypto because bitcoin is trusted) the discussion is killed. After 5-6 pages reading replies you don't remember what is the topic is about

There are over 100,000 merchants accepting Bitcoin and it keeps growing. How is it no one is accepting bitcoin"?
Volatility price is not even an excuse, because they can get the bitcoins converted to fiat automatically.
Visa also as fees by the way.

It's a good challenge and the charity point is honorable. If I may give some feedback on the website. You really need to improve the website, and I mean a lot. This said I wish you good luck with your project
6595  Economy / Speculation / Re: Today (June 2nd) is the crucial day for end of downtrend on: June 03, 2018, 04:39:06 PM
not to worry we will soon reach $ 8k in the next few days. keep an eye on the state of the market, with circumstances like this we are easy to take advantage.
Personally, I am a pessimist for the next days. I won't be surprised to see the price going under $7,000. Recently <hen the price goes up for some days, it's for going down more after.
I am waiting July and August to see what will happen for Bitcoin
6596  Economy / Economics / Re: Visa card network crashes on: June 03, 2018, 04:20:27 PM
I have been a "victim" of the VISA crash Cheesy. Quite embarrassing when you're at the supermarket and no other payment method to pay...
6.5€ only in my pocket, I was in shame looking like I have no money on my account. I had to back at home to take a bank cheque... I couldn't get cash with the ATM machine.

@Vanquish_PT
Are you using Monese with a crypto company? (i.e to receive payment from a crypto exchange etc)

I'm using for localbitcoins trading only.

I haven't used an exchange with them yet.

But from my experience localbitcoins is worst from a banking POV.

Bunq is a good start-up but really strict with  ID verification; KYC


bunq blocked my account. Not looking good.

If you really have 1 million to transfer out, you wouldn't ask here but rather in a forum related to offshore banking

Do you mean offshorecorptalk or other?


Bunq blocked your account for a transaction related to crypto or something else? It's quite hard to find a neobank agree to deal with transaction related to cryptocurrencies :/
Yes, I mean offshorecorptalk. Or here is a table for offshore banking, the site is not in English but it doesn't matter, most important is the list itself paradisfiscaux20.com/liste-banques-offshore.htm
I don't remember how it is called exactly but remember a lot of countries exchange banks information now, and the countries list is quite big
6598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin go under regulation on: June 03, 2018, 02:44:17 PM
Seeing how is the crypto industry currently I don't think there is a need to regulate the market. Perhaps once cryptos become mainstream then "maybe" it will be needed. What we need to consider is that basically cryptocurrencies are created to avoid banks, govt., regulations, etc.
 So I would say it goes against the crypto ideology
6599  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: MoonBlox Premium Crypto Clothing on: June 01, 2018, 08:59:18 PM
The Tshirts we usually find are bad quality. I think they buy "Fruit Of the Loom" brand but their quality is not what it was decades ago. Once you washed it 5-6 times the color is faded or the size magically shrink or the graphic is half gone.
I would say the "fuck you paid me" is funny but the one with the captcha is a zero (I am just giving my opinion with honesty)

It have been a long time since i checked out zencash, and im impressed by how it is doing both on development and price. Putting together two rigs now with my friends and was going all out on another coin. But considering risk we may go for two coins, and i think zen is the right choice for number two Smiley
They improved a lot and are always improving. Better you follow closely this coin if you don't want to miss a great opportunity. Check out their latest update, WP, etc you will understand  Wink

Yes i have a good feeling about Zen, and have had that for a long time. Been without Zen for too long, and actually agreed with my mate that we will choose Zen for one of the rigs Smiley

You won't be disappointed with them  Smiley
