Use of bitcoin client would be easier for him if all data expensive operations are done by third party client (for example my client) and his client would be able to verify found transactions and and them to his wallet.
that's what SPV clients, like electrum and multibit, does. they don't need you to download 70GB~ of data. Electrum would be the ideal wallet to use, if you don't want to use up bandwidth. There are a lot of web based wallets too, which can be tried to get acquainted with bitcoin.

The fact that the British Biased Corporation was involved should make every one suspicious that a government agency is somehow involved here.
In this day of social media, it doesn't matter which agency is involved. Everything is going to be analyzed threadbare.

Isle of Man May Soon Be the Online Crypto-Gambling DestinationEurope is increasingly becoming a digital currency-friendly continent. If there is a Bitcoin-friendly territory index, then the Isle of Man will definitely feature at the top. True to its intention of becoming the Bitcoin capital, Isle of Man has recently decided to relax its gambling laws to include bitcoin and digital currencies. The Gambling Supervision Commission has called for a limited consultation for a period of one month, starting April 20, 2016, till May 20, 2016, with an intention of revisiting the existing gambling regulations and updating it to meet today’s standards... read more From the gambler's point of view, it really doesn't matter where the gambling sites are set up in. Online casinos will just move to the country which provides the most favourable terms.

All he has to do is send me a few hundred bitcoin from one of his large accounts and that will be proof enough for me....
If he indeed is Satoshi and wants to prove it, he can easily do so. But by refusing to sign custom messages, he is only creating doubts.

I think Western union will never used again by costumers for couple years later because it has big fees, and bitcoin use low fees.
The problem is with last mile connectivity of bitcoins. A recipient of bitcoins will want to convert it to fiat. In most places in the developing world, it is not easy to do that.

The article says 'bitcoin or some permutation of blockchain technology' to pay out and monitor grants. Even if it does get implemented, I think it will be a blockchain project and not involve bitcoin.

There was a time when people said the price only increased if you held it for one calendar year, and that was proof of Bitcoin's strength. The point we are missing here is that Bitcoin was at a really low price a year back.

There is a reason why Bitcoin was found. Paypal was found years early. If you want to be anonymous then you should use Bitcoin. Paypal is like a open book for authorities. What are your opinions on paypal or bitcoin for online shopping?
Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. Paypal might be an open book for governments, bitcoin is an open book for everybody.

We should wait and see whether the fees are refunded, before this transaction can be called the unluckiest ever. If they are refunded, I will call it the luckiest transaction ever.

This is probably the fairest way to distribute coins. However, I don't see why there should be a deadline for bitcoin holders to claim lumen.

It will definitely be positive publicity for bitcoin, since the blockchain is associated with bitcoin in people's minds. That might be one reason why the price may increase.

Japanese Firms Hit by China’s Capital Control May Flock to BitcoinAs it becomes harder for the Chinese to move funds in and out of the country over the past few months, all companies dealing with Chinese subsidiaries will be affected at some point. For Japanese firms, that boiling point was reached a few days ago, as their subsidiaries can’t properly pay loans, dividends and compensations to their Japanese parent enterprises. In some cases, these capital control measurements have resulted in billions of yen not being repaid to Japanese parent firms. Although there is a lot of backlash... read more I am not sure if firms would be switching to bitcoins to avoid capital controls. Switching to bitcoins and sending them out will constitute violation of capital controls and would be a crime.

I actually received my first coin at $109. I'm not too worried about prices anymore though.
That is a great price!! Of course, some people will regret that they didn't buy more at that price.

Honestly, I find this to be insulting. We need more proper adopters for adoption. This is not the way to go. At all. Sex work isn't respectable.
Sex work is still work. You should learn to respect all professions. I hate these moralists more than anybody else. The more people we get to use bitcoin, the better it is for the community.

Let me guess, you're going to tell us you're from Venezula and it's all propaganda? Because, you know, that's how it always works in Venezula? it's someone elses fault? Of course. You can guess from the userid - "bolivarcoin". Bolicoin (also known as Boli) is a virtual currency from Venezuela created by Satoshisimon Bolivarmoto. Our goal was to create a trusted cryptocurrency suported by the Venezuelan citizens and for the Venezuela natural resourses. The philosophy of Bolivarcoin is to follow the ideals set by others altcoins and adapt it and make it more friendly for it users by creating a social media campaign to inform about its benefits and uses.The raison d'etre of this coin goes out of the window if the government is against cryptocurrencies.

Twenty pages already did the OP really serious in giving the 10 BTC did he contact anyone here and grant 10 Btc I this he's just joking 10 Btc is over 4 thousands worth of dollars..
It is a rhetorical question. If you suddenly got 10 BTC what would you do? Nobody here expects the OP to give 10 BTC and the OP has no intention of doing so either.

At least in stocks, insiders are supposed to inform exchanges about their trades and there are blackout periods during which no trades can be carried out. Unfortunately, no such restrictions exist in the crypto world.

In my opinion, this makes something very simple much harder to deal with. When you use one of these services, you give them cash, get yours, and they/you leave!! It is real simple now, so why would you want to complicate things?
The only reason I can think of is international sex tourists. Dollars are of course accepted by everybody, but in case you are stuck with some other currency? Bitcoin might help you avoid the currency changers.

Developing is different from implementing. When these old insurers actually starting using blockchain solutions in their legacy systems, it will be a big step forward.
