People are harking about this news as if it is something that actually affects either Coinbase or Barclays. It was a business tie-up. It ended. There'll be other banks and other relationships that'll be worked on behind the scenes. No point in rebroadcasting the same news in multiple posts here. I also did not consider Barclays to be a big roleplayer in crypto sector.
Stuff like this is notable. The UK crypto scene is stunted because of the lack of banking. This was a big step towards it catching up. The US crypto scene is dependent on a very small number of banks. If one of them throws in the towel in a similar manner you can bet your tight buns it would be major news. Whether we like it or not conventional banking is a major factor. I have to agree with this. If there was more movement regulation wise within the UK banking field towards crypto wider implementation then it would narrow the gap between conventional banking and crypto. Right now any move whether deemed positive or negative between exchanges and UK banks will make the news and that is a good thing because it keeps the current disparity for all to see. Don't you think we need more positive news rather than negative news about Bitcoins and cryptos in general? Rarely do I remember news outlets saying good things about crypto or Bitcoin. It's like they have a vendetta against this sector. Even in places where Barclays is not relevant, they are going to talk about this in a negative way. These same people never set foot inside a Barclay bank in their entire life. |

Hello everyone, I do not understand much of bitcoin but I have wondered if on my website it would be good to accept payment with bitcoin, who do you think? it would be a good idea? Or would it still be a proco soon? Not sure if you are a reseller or a direct stockist selling all the hardware that is listed on your site. If you are a reseller you will run into problems when splitting your commission vs what the original website or seller is charging. Unless you have a third party exchange integration that would immediately convert your payments received in crypto into fiat. Then you won't get that problem. |

Very nice!
This is what is needed in the crypto sector. Marketplaces that make use of the cryptos like currencies. The way that they are supposed to be used.
I wonder why Zolango does not list or sell digital goods, I just checked the website and everything is just physical goods.
Am I wrong?

Eterbase was making quite a name for itself in the past few days. I guess that was mostly because of their bounty campaigns here that everyone was talking about them.
But what happened to this exchange now? Why all of a sudden everyone stop talking about it? I don't even see a single listing news or article about it anymore. Its like as if it went lowkey all of a sudden.
Why?

Bitstamp was one of my favorite exchange because it is really reliable and the fees were honest, but now it's too much, and they didn't even directly warn their customers.
By honest you mean dirt cheap? It made sense back when Bitcoin was new and tx fees, regulatory, legal fees etc didn't eat into the company's revenue so much. Now that they have the Korean money as many are suggesting and just coming out of the down markets, I don't think the new fees are unreasonable at all. |

See you are already having a storm here.
I wonder why you chose your website to look like this? It feels like a site out of the 1990's.
Is there any particular reason for this? Maybe lack of budget or didnt have a designer to work with?

Hello everyone, Welcome to the BTCDir, the Bitcoin DirectoryBTCDir is a simple directory which helps people to find Bitcoin related services with webmaster contributions. It's based on a simple directory infrastucture which is register-free, easy to use and clean. Our system does not need any registration for both navigating and website contribution. We check all sites manually and add to our database. BTCDir is a great resource for people and a free advertising space for webmasters! Everyone is welcome to add their websites and have a place in this simple but useful project! Thanks. http://btcdir.netSeems like an useful project. But how will you maintain the site? How will you verify what everyone lists? How will you keep the scammers out? How will you penalize or restrict repeated posts of the same service and essentially stop spamming? These are just the few questions that come to mind at first. I'll be back with more review and feedback. |

Could somebody explain exactly what Moneypot is? Is it a tool that allows you to spread your investment across multiple site bankrolls to minimize risk? Or what?
I would definitely be interested in such a tool, or something similar. Post it here and you'll get merit if I see it.
I have that question too. I never heard of it before, although I am not a hardcore gambler or even know what bankroll is, however, if someone provides me a decent explanation, I'd definitely merit them as well. I see JackpotRacer has a good history on the subject, found this through google. I will dig up the info. If anyone wants to create a compact version to read, feel free. I opened long ago scam accusations as Investor ( I lost ) and RBIES holder RBIES link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2207833.msg22227934#msg22227934Investor scam accusation https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2176574.msg21829632#msg21829632sadly Investors and RBIES owners dont get together to try to push MP owners to pay or close down. RHavar posted this not long ago edit in the new moneypot thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2345394.msg23891888#msg23891888
And you will not provide a short grace period for current ruby holders to sell at your earlier promised price floor?
I don't really understand how you could make a promise to hold a price floor (and literally even quote the dictionary definition of "always"). As you know, people made investing and arbitrage decisions based on your price-floor promise and you're now pulling the rug from everyone. I'm struggling to come up with a more charitable interpretation then you're effectively scamming all ruby holders.
And if you are indeed solvent, than I think you would do yourselves a huge favor by demonstrating this (either publicly, or to a trusted person like dooglus) of proof of assets and quantifying your liabilities (which include promises made liked fixed investing returns and compensation promise made last year to investors ). If you are not solvent, you should be looking to return as much money as possible to your creditors. Or at the very least, issue a debt-based token like bitfinex didhe is spot on and said what I was saying for a long time just in better english. I was the only one who gave them red trust for not holding their promises IMO it is time that Investors and RBIES owners get together and shout out |

Getting back to topic, perhaps I don't give much importance to Barclays because it is not omnipresent from where I am. So I guess I spoke out of geographical context incorrectly. However, I still don't see the point of repeating the same news over and over again. It is not going to be sensationalized just by that.. this is perhaps the 4th or 5th such post regarding the same news. |

Apart from a few novel websites you won't actually find many places where you can spend your bitcoins online. Although that is exactly what is needed.
People tend to buy cryptos to save or invest. They rarely spend that on silly things you see. There are many freelancing websites that have made crypto central to their business models.

Can you tell me what is the cheapest and safest way to buy crypto with fiat? I've heard that changelly now takes 7% fee and I want to know if this is a lot. Thank you!
The cheapest and the easiest way to buy crypto with fiat is through face to face deals. It can't get easier than that. You just find the right person to trade with and trade face to face. You can probably get some discounts since you'd be paying in cash. |

Hi, guys! I'm not sure such banks are exist but maybe you know one.
None for now mate, but maybe in future you will get some, the only agencies that are operating like banks for us are the third party agencies like local bitcoin and other ones where you can change your cryptocurrency to fiat, and maybe you can then take the cash to your bank, and even if you receive large amount of fiat from these local exchanges, the banks will still put and eye on it and could block your funds so you can explain how you got such money, but I believe that very soon, we will have some banks that will have no choice than to accept cryptocurrency transaction even if it is against their will, that will be when the crypto industry has been regulated and government is use they will be getting their complete tax money from traders. None? so what about all the banks that every one of us have been suggesting so far? Of course there are banks and financial institutions that are supporting and even funding the crypto boom. Please do some research before you just speak anything that comes to your mind. |

Bitcoin is way past the point where a movie about it could change anything. It needs movies... plural.
The mainstream media, governments have been working their butts off to pain Bitcoin in a bad light and to a degree, they have succeeded in doing so.
So a single movie about Bitcoin or featuring it won't do anything to mend the damage that has already been done to it and cryptos as a whole since 2009.

Does this come with a certificate of authenticity? How about the toes in the third picture? Are they included?
Toes not included. I dont believe I still have the card. You will be able to tell that it is authentic, and if you bring it to a jeweler and they say its fake I will take it back. However it is 100% authentic. What jeweler will authentic a piece you didn't buy from them? Especially something at this price point Jewelers often authenticate jewelry for free if you know them well or happen to be a regular customer. Other than that at my place the pawnshop charges $25 to verify the authenticity of any thing you bring to them. Even jewelry, and more often than not they are the ones actually that'd buy it off you, whatever it is. I've never been crazy about watches or diamonds are those real diamonds? |

I'll tell you why this is happening. Markets in US, UK, Japan and basically all other leading markets are suffering an economic slowdown. Naturally investors are seeking to put their money in hard assets like gold silver etc that can at least sustain the majority of their savings in a stable way. But a large portion of their investments are also directed to experimental assets like Bitcoin or any asset where the entry prices to acquire such assets are way higher than their intrinsic values.
So long as the mainstream economy will suffer, bitcoin and cryptos will boom.

Not sure if many or any of you have heard of USAA. United Services Automobile Association, they provide banking services among many products that they offer. Including savings and checking accounts. Check them out at USAA.com Most importantly, I recall reading somewhere that they even invested in Coinbase. So I don't think why any retail or personal relationship with them can be an issue.. I heard of both of them but I am yet to see anyone being able to use either of these banks to set up something personal. And I guess that really depends on what you want to do, which was not specified here.
Can either of you verify if either of these banks or some other bank actually allows commercial applications, like stores and such?
Not me. I'm not in US. Keep us posted. I assume even the most crypto friendly bank will have made their existing clients jump through a million hoops before deigning to business with them. A cold call will probably earn a chuckle at least.
Well that won't be very professional of them. Banks should give equal importance to large and small customers. |

It has been years that no forex trading market and gold market came into existence and yet their market is still not void of volatility, crypto market is a new one and the volatility will still be in the market for a very long time, except maybe we want to start analyzing them separately based on each currency.
In the view I have, I'm thinking the volatility happens because there are no regulation because of no recognition for now. No limitation of how many coins to be dumped and nobody is concern about lost or frauded coins. No that's not quite exactly why or how volatility works. Simply put it is the financial repercussion that any asset creates on the market due to its demand or the lack of it. It has nothing to do with regulations. And even if regulations were there I don't think there can be any regulatory control over how much of an asset one can sell or buy in an open market. That is against the very definition of open markets. |

Saw that board a long time ago last year. I think the condition of your community has shifted a lot since then. Especially that banning crypto news all over your country. Given that circumstance I do not think anyone would be even willing to step up to the plate and offer their neck for a 10 year jail term. |

The biggest disadvantage that you lightly touched upon was the unreliability of the volatility. Don't get me wrong, no open market based tradeable asset is predictable but there is always some method to the madness. However, the volatility on the cryptomarkets are purely driven by very few whales that are entirely unreliable and make riding the volatility of such moves riskier than trading on traditional assets and stocks.
