I think the only reason bitcoin cash is gaining is simply because of newcomers that just got to know about bitcoin and are faced with a strong performing bitcoin that is proving to be a bank breaker such that BCH is the only alternative as it carries the bitcoin name and they believe it will go to the moon in the same fashion bitcoin is doing.
not tonight my friend.

Besides getting paid for the work done I think this would also encourage its users to save which in the long run would reward them with some extra cash and bitlancers idea of paying freelancers in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies should definitely encourage people to become more resourceful unlike lazing around wasting talents that can be monetized.

This has been long overdue, what have they been waiting for after so many requests from the crypto community?

With more of these boardroom meetings, this could take some time before it this technology is adopted.


I agree its definitely too late and this is the price you pay if you don't listen to your customers, and at the moment bitcoin payments are been enjoyed by its own customers who sell gifted cards at markup in exchange for bitcoin.

They say there is strength in numbers and if this is the route most countries choose then they are half way their but bitcoin is a new technology that is opening the world to new opportunities and its, for this reason, it should be adopted and not banned

In as much as this sounds scary, its the honest truth and banning bitcoin would prevent other blockchain startups from taking off as they would avoid going the same path as bitcoin.

Investigators from the income tax department of India have conducted onsite searches at the offices of the country’s top nine bitcoin exchanges early on Wednesday morning.
Government officials told the Indian news agency PTI that multiple teams of detectives from the tax department, under the command of the Bengaluru investigation wing, surveyed the trading venues in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Gurugram.
This action was taken under section 133A of the Indian Income Tax Act for “gathering evidence for establishing the identity of investors and traders, transaction undertaken by them, identity of counter-parties, related bank accounts used, among others,” according to the quoted officials.

The teams of detectives are said to be armed with various financial data and inputs about the workings of the exchanges. Reports called this the first big action against the exchanges operating in the country, suggesting that more is to come.

Looks like Christmas came early for crypto users, just this month we have witnessed a huge ATH for bitcoin thanks to such developments and more countries need to find ways to regulate these cryptocurrencies through the exchanges, unlike baning which might hinder good projects from taking of as not all are meant to be a form of payment.

Thanks for payment FrankNoland and DIMPAY but can you confirm if this is the last week of campaign or campaign will run a little bit longer than the planned 2 weeks?

Bitcoin price is growing remarkably fast because of continued interest into this technology, and other countries like Zimbabwe are contributing to its growth as people invest in bitcoin to secure their financial assets.

Bitcoin has also been listed on a big U.S. exchange (Chicago Board Options Exchange) which has been seen as one of the current contributors to its rise.

The long awaited launch of Chicago Board Options Exchange Bitcoin futures contracts went off with a bang yesterday as the website was knocked offline by a surge in traffic. The first contracts were offered at 18.00 EST on Sunday and an unprecedented demand overwhelmed the exchange.

CBOE Tweeted a status update which said “Due to heavy traffic on our website, visitors to cboe.com may find that it is performing slower than usual and may at times be temporarily unavailable. All trading systems are operating normally.”
The site outage coincided with a surge in Bitcoin price at the time of launch. According to CoinDesk’s Bitcoin Price Index (BPI) it jumped from $14,509 at 22:59 UTC to $15,732 seven minutes later, 8.4% in a few minutes. Once the initial rush had subsided the CBOE website came back online and contracts started to sell.

Why go through all this trouble when you can securely store your wallet credentials in a place you are most likely to remember, and this method of Hypnosis sounds like a dead end to me because most crypto coins now just require a private key of which only special people can memorize it.

You read my mind, but for wallets like the blockchain wallet there is a possibility it could work if the hypnotist asks the right questions to trigger some memory.

2023 is just way too soon for this to happen, and I do not think we have reached that digital age to cut off the use of cash completely, maybe two or more decades from now going digital should be no problem... as bitcoin and other blockchain projects are already ushering in this digital age Sweden seeks to have.

Seeing how bitcoin performed the previous week.It is very much possible and we are not far from this price but because of how unpredictable the bitcoin market is I would say this might happen towards the end of the month of January or maybe even before Christmas...its a guessing game atm.

Fortunately, I did not see it drop that low, price recovered and its starting to settle down, maybe 14 500 would be a good stop...

If you still looking for a place to invest you can try https://minexbank.com/. To get started you will be required to have some minexcoin (MNX) which you can buy from livecoin and once you are set you can use your minexcoin to get paid for parking(holding) and rates go from daily, weekly and yearly .

As you have already mentioned one of the biggest flaws bitcoin has is the high fees and long transaction times which are often very inconveniencing to the user and it is for this reason other coins will be considered to take up bitcoins position if no fix is found and honestly nothing lasts forever which is calling a spade a spade especially when it comes to technology, these takeovers always happen ,hope a fix comes soon to give bitcoin a long life.

Something fishy about this why would the organized criminal group keep all their stash in one wallet..for a group of hackers no words ? unless there is more which hasn't been disclosed or someone sold them out from the beginning! Anyway something positive from this, the government gets a chance to improve its computer systems after it was compromised just hope they don't dump those bitcoins in their possession.

I use https://www.myetherwallet.com/ as its a very simple to use wallet and does not require any downloads or syncing of the blockchain which takes up a lot of time if you haven't used your wallet in a long time wish bitcoin had this kind of a wallet too . And recently there have been lots of phishing attempts maybe because of the high price of cryptocurrencies, fake look-alike websites are now on the rise and we need to be extra careful to prevent losing money.

I think the best difference between the two platforms is the decentralized exchange that the waves platform has, other than that the ethereum platform is better in price, has a larger community and would be the most likely preferred choice of investment for many investors.

The recent network congestions on the ETH PLATFORM makes waves in this category better.

When it comes to bitcoin I find blockchain.info wallet comfortable to use but with all these hacking reports that we always get to read about electrum wallet is my holding wallet as at present.
For ethereum and all other erc20 tokens, Myetherwallet  is the best.

At this point Bitcoin cash isn't getting much attention as people are scrambling to get their hands on some bitcoins (BTC) because of its current bullish nature and users are seeing this as an opportunity to get a quick return on their investment.
Not a chance BCH isnt that popular to record such a high price before the end of the year . if anything it would take a deep dive as people will dump it and crossover to the original bitcoin.

I think teaching someone(family member) how to use a bitcoin wallet is okay but giving them access to your wallet would be risky as they wouldnt know the value of the digital currency and would be tempted to spend some without your consent and might end up losing everything.

No ways, we wouldn't have much use with the bitcoins when you go the other side

Coming to the subject matter of what happens to your Bitcoins when you Die, If no one has access to them they will remain as a lost treasure!
