The halving of the bitcoin block reward this past July has changed the profitability of new miner entries, a development that could ultimately impact bitcoin’s decentralization, according to Sveinn Valfells of Flux, Ltd. and Jon Helgi Egilsson of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Iceland.

In a paper, “Minting Money with Megawatts” for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the authors noted that declining profitability for new miners could further consolidate mining activity. This, in turn, could increase the likelihood of miners colluding to attack the blockchain’s bitcoin transaction history, which could threaten the cryptocurrency’s decentralized character.

Bitcoin’s architecture created a payment network independent of central banks and existing financial service providers.

the main problem bitcoin is "DIGITAL CURRENCY" so we need internet conection for each transaction, and this is can't make bitcoin as 1st global currency like a us dollar.

that's a good idea. dont forget to learning trading and mining bitcoin, it's helping you to grow your bitcoin.
now im focus at mining and holding ethereum classic for growing my bitcoin.

the blockchain system will help bank for secure investment, the transparancy in bank can be accesed by everyone, so people will know where his money used by bank. also this system will help the transparancy loan system.

bank need interest to pay his service, he need money to paid salary his employer, so with this system bank can take interest to each people who borrow money at bank, and use the interest for each cost of activity bank.

Swiss-based independent film production company A Ken Evil Thing has created an Ethereum smart contract to fund their low-budget independent film project titled “The Pitts Family Circus,” offering limited 666 shares of the movie to interested investors.

In a press release sent to CoinReport, the company said that theirs will be the first ether (ETH)-financed movie (ether/ETH is the cryptocurrency/altcoin/token of the Ethereum network like bitcoin is the digital currency of the bitcoin blockchain) and will be produced from the early 2017 in West-Australia, Melbourne and in the Alps of Switzerland.

Shares are 10 ETH each, but investors can buy fractional parts of a full share also. The film production firm said investors will receive an ether-based return on investment (ROI) for the next 20 years, explaining that the shareholders will be receiving 50 percent of the yearly profit after tax until the year 2036.

Bitcoin mining equipment manufacturer Bitmain has launched a new mining pool, it’s second after Antpool, as a part of its block explorer BTC.com’s offering. The new mining pool is open-source will not charge any fees until 2017.

Bitmain has, through its Bitcoin block explorer BTC.com, launched a new mining pool that will be open-sourced to users. With the open-source protocol, the firm hopes to foster new technical standards for mining pools and remove restrictions that otherwise limit the efficiency of mining pools.

Prior to launch, the new mining pool was put to its test to gain feedback about mining efficiency and its stability. Software simulators were used to replicate the load of up to 180,000 miners. Upon launch, the new pool demands no mining fees from users, until the end of 2016.

maybe the stable price is the accumulation phase before "real pump" to $1000.
i think bitcoin will hit the $1000 rate again, maybe end of this year

that's like my activity when i need fast money, i sell my vga or sometimes i sell my smartphone.
now i prepare my self for sudden emergencies with saving some fiat, so in future i can use it .

at my country i found some realmerchand accept bitcoin as payment processor, but the place is very far from my village. I had to spend traveling for five hours to reach the merchand.

i think buy ethereum classic is good way to use 10btcoin, or building Rx470 rig for mining etc is good idea too. im sure mining is best way to growing our money.

don't make bitcoin is your main priority, i think my family is the first important in my life. if someone want to give me 10000000000bitcoin for killing my family i will reject it. don't be fanatic guys.

invest at good altcoin when the red line comes, like today, ethereum clasic price is very cheap, and im sure the price will be rise again to 0.006 maybe 0.01 so buying ethereum classic is good idea.

how about this starategy?
buy hold sell at higher price, buy again at low price hold and sell it in higher price ?
Im not have more money to always buy, and for me that's method is best.

in fact some bank do research about blockchain technology, in future i think bank will use blockchain system for his own transaction, but of course bank will be hold the private key.

i think we need more than 1year, maybe nest 5year the worlwide adoption will become, or maybe next halving bitcoin will be leader of currency in the world, not only in cryptocurrency.

the posiblity reward is good
Your possible rewards 1000 400 300 200 100

but i get same problem likesirohige, The destination type is invalid or not authorized

so bad faucet, shortener url in first time visit is bad bad bad experience for me, i hate it, not interesting to visit your faucet again.
i think all member will hate it, shortener url is bad for small job.

that's a simple way to growing your money with holding bitcoin, but for growing your bitcoin you can choose trade, maybe 2% profit permonth is enough for long term investment.
