Good points and from a reputable source. I wish he would have given a ballpark of what he thinks the price should be now.
If we extend his argument of the dollars flowing into bitcoins equalling the new supply entering the market, the price should double. It may not do so immediately, but over a period of time.

97% of all the addresses have less than 0.002 BTC in them? Wow I must be filthy rich then, taking into consideration this website and if the fact is truly true that 97% of the addresses hold on them less than 0.002 BTC this fact is amazingly shocking.
If bitcoins are spread across addresses (as they should be), then this doesn't give an idea of the total number of coins held by a person. I for one have my coins in multiple addresses / wallets.

I am sure we all have our regrets. Whether it is the stock market, bond markets, bonds, bitcoins... Hindsight always shows us missed opportunities.

Of course, short term gains are expected to be minimal. Banks will take their time to test new technologies and even longer to implement them. Some of the bank systems are still legacy applications, which were used decades ago.

It's very hard to spot genuine newbies any more. Most of the people here on the forum have an army of alt accounts sucking dry the signature campaigns. Now there is a new breed of newbie gamblers with a shitload of sock puppet accounts participating in the games and predictions threads because it's easy cash for them and that's more than they could earn in 1 month's time from signatures. Sometimes the shitshow is just plain obvious lol.
It is a dead giveaway when the first post of an user is in a signature campaign thread. It is highly unlikely that a new user managed to go to the services board and find a campaign which accepts newbies.

Hotel Booking Website HotelGo24 Offers User Rewards In Bitcoin here are many websites that offering lots of varied rewards and booking options when it comes to reserving a hotel at a good price. Some may even accept Bitcoin as a preferred payment. However, the first hotel booking website to offer a cash-back rewards style program with Bitcoin, as well as the option to donate your rewards to charities like Bithope, Wikileaks and The Water Project is Warsaw, Poland-based HotelGo24. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/hotel-booking-website-hotelgo24-offers-user-rewards-in-bitcoin/It is a bit strange that this website gives bitcoins as cash back, but doesn't allow users to book hotel rooms using bitcoins. Do they actually buy bitcoins which they give to the users?

Trading it´s not a bad idea if you have what it takes, or just built the disruptive app!
I don't think that trade will provide steady income for you dude because you can not guarantee victory in the trade? so it allows you to lose it is very risky to living in bitcoin with trade only yeah right, it is difficult to get a stable profit from trade. especially when trading was quiet. but if you're lucky, you can get great profit. I often experience this. sometimes I've no benefit for one week. we cannot just rely on luck every day right? so we should be able to hone skills in trade to earn huge profits. but it's still not enough to be a major job. IMO There are professional traders in bond and equity markets. We do not have the same sophistication in crypto-markets, but that is no reason why trading shouldn't be considered as a proper job.

So ... from the article I understand this is BITCOIN ransomware, as opposed to the DOLLAR ransomware that's been around for years. Since it deserves this new name, are we to understand that it's more malicious than before? /s
It is just a little bit harder to track down. Nothing else has changed. Instead of sending dollars to a post box in Panama, you send bitcoins to a specific address.

Kids earning bitcoins? I would prefer they stay out and play some games in the sun, rather then spend their time in front of the computer earning satoshis.
Yeah, I too would just let my son go out and play..I won't obliged him to do such thing..Even if my son would insist...Too much exposure to computer is not healthy to kids... If the kids always stay in front of computer to looking for bitcoin a day by day it will damage their eye earlier. Also potentially lose their childhood fun . Kids these days always play with computer games its better that if they play some they also earn money and that could help them in times of crisis. They should play games which they enjoy, not what will make you a few extra cents. I am strongly against my kids spending time on faucets.

So what are you trying to say here? The people that are marked as 'newbies' are not newbies? If so, then you're wrong. Additionally, there are a lot of users that are 'senior' and/or 'hero' members which I would mark as newbies. Just knowing what Bitcoin is and having a surface understanding of how it works does not make you a 'non-newbie'.
Account sales are responsible for those senior accounts who behave like newbies. But I agree with the OP that people have a reluctance to register at new sites. They register only after some browsing and after they become comfortable with it.

I listen to these stories on a daily basis now: lots of companies are bleeding because of this. Most of the people don't realize how these threats could be dangerous. I have a client who lost 10 years of data. Crazy really
Good article
Wasn't it worth paying the ransom? A lot of companies just pay the ransom and move on. Even the cops have paid ransom to get back access to their files.

If the kids do want to get their hands on bitcoins, I would give some of their pocket money in the form of bitcoins. Then maybe they can trade their baseball cards for bitcoins. I wouldn't go beyond that.

Some people in the bitcoin world—the believers still waving the flag for the leading digital currency, which is currently trading at $427—will tell you that the phrase “The Internet of Money” is widely understood as a reference to bitcoin and its underlying technology, the blockchain. But Uphold, a “cloud bank” startup that launched in 2014, will tell you it is their corporate slogan. It applied to register the phrase as its trademark for financial services back in September 2015 with the US Patent & Trademark Office, and is far along in the process. Andreas Antonopoulos doesn’t like that. The cybersecurity expert and author, one of bitcoin’s most prominent voices, has waged a war with Uphold, encouraging his 47,000 Twitter followers to help him find the earliest uses of the phrase “Internet of money.” Uphold’s adoption of the slogan, he tells Yahoo Finance, “perverts the meaning of the phrase.” http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-world-disputes-uphold-internet-of-money-andreas-antonopoulos-210907255.htmlAnother example of a bully with big pockets. It is not going to be easy to get the trademark application withdrawn or thrown out.

Bitcoin debit cards is a good idea. Do the casinos have to be onboard for making deposits into bitcoin debit cards?

Will this trend continue in other countries over the next few months, in your opinion? In fact, Vaultoro trading volume in Japan has increased by 13% in March alone. Gold has always been a valuable commodity for investors, as it has been a recognized store of value since time immemorial. Consumers and enterprises are looking for ways to hedge against the projected inflation in Japan, which is good news for Vaultoro. https://news.bitcoin.com/japanese-negative-interest-rates-boost-gold/When returns dip so low, investors tend to favour alternative assets. With negative interest rates, you can be sure investors will turn to gold and real estate.

Why would anyone try to remove information about Bitcoin and blockchain from wikipedia? Most digital currency enthusiasts are aware of how the blockchain is permissionless, i.e. publicly accessible, at its core and used to power the Bitcoin network. It seems to make little to no sense to remove this type of information from the Wikipedia entry. However, various groups are looking to build their own version of blockchain technology, which could require permission to access, let alone have anything to do with Bitcoin. https://news.bitcoin.com/wikipedia-bitcoin-censorship/That is one negative aspect about wikipedia - some of these proxy battles tend to be fought there.

This is old news. I think this kind of disagreement is unavoidable and do not consider this as civil war. I would think it is a unavoidable growing up process through which Bitcoin can only get stronger.
It is old, but I think the description is apt. Until one side wins comprehensively, everybody in the bitcoin space is just going to bleed. We need this to be resolved before we can proceed further.

They aren't ignoring Bitcoin. They are actively going against it. In September, Australian banks shut the accounts of must bitcoin businesses.
