it all started in 2016 when he bought tokens of 5 ICO projects, one helped him earn 40 times of profit and one earned 70 times.

“I woke up this morning, checked my wallet and realized that I am now a millionaire. Now what?”

By ICO, i mean Bitmain is supporting Viabtc to start an ICO to buy enough hashrate to make sure a hard fork.

Charlie twitted that Lightning network has been successfully tested on LTC. And there will be a meetup in Wuhan on July 2. It seems that Charlie is ready to rock the market.

ltc is definitely experiencing its shining moment. the price surged from 30 dollars to 56 dollars in 4 days. the spike is partly for Charlie's leaving from Coinbase and partly for bitstamp's listing ltc. But today the price dropped back to 46 USD. Is this just a one-time thing or it will sustain upward trend?

https://coin.dance/blocks  76% blocks mined today support segwit2X
bitmain is raising an ICO to make sure they can buy enough hashrate to make sure a hard fork. But it seems that miners are supporting the compromise approach segwit2X now.

exactly, i'd like to swtich to ltc and eth for a while and when a fork occurs and the market decides a winner, i'll switch back to btc.

Da Tou, literally "Big head", attended The Global Blockchain Conference of 2017 in Chengdu and shared his opinion about investment in cryptocurrencies. As eth's market cap reaches closer to btc, can it surpass btc? Or Eth will also be surpassed just like Nokia if it is not technically monopolistic.

If Jaxx is not save, then does that mean all the mobile wallets are insecure? Then where should i keep all my coins?

this is a real story about bitcoin withdrawal and how bitcoin matters a great deal in places where people suffer.  it must be truly desperate for someone to come to a stranger for help； but the thing is that being part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, you should be ready for all kinds of losses, be they in forgetting your wallet password or ETH surpassing Bitcoin.

Oh My, you hate Taylor or you are simply jealous of her? I think it's great that you believe in what you believe, and you would compromise, but why are you doing this? Who are you doing this for? I just don't think Core are representing the interests of miners?

I got the truth! It is because they are not able to date Taylor Swift!
Samson Mow: If the question is why can’t Core compromise and add a hard-fork into SegWit? That’s because a hard-fork requires everyone to upgrade simultaneously and Core cannot force people to do that. It’s an impossible compromise. It’s like me saying I’ll do something for you if you get me a date with Taylor Swift – you probably can’t do that.
Does this mean if Taylor dates him, he would compromise?

Kun, 29-year-old, is a management operator of a bitcoin mining site which is actually just a plant built near a hydropower station. After working for 24 hours nonstop, the 550 mining machines are able to mine 2.5 bitcoins per day. He would roast a whole lamb with other workers to celebrate when they buy new machines. But it also feels lonely.

before the PBOC says the suspension of withdrawal was decided by the big three themselves, and now as btc withdrawal resumed, all are curious if the PBOC allowed them to do so.  OKcoin says they resumed btc withdrawal without the admission of the PBOC. But some insiders say it's like to do PR for the PBOC.

a guess some important bitcoiners are selling their bitcoins now. And i even doubt if the price is real

Is Jaxx wallets easy to attack? Coz its private key is stored in cloud.  Or it is just for small amount of coins.

Moving from the age of blockchain 1.0 to the age of blockchain 2.0, bitcoin will not be the only one facing regulatory regulations such as AML, smart contracts would have the same problem. Can smart contracts be regarded as commom contracts under Contract Law? If the answer is yes, then does the code belong to the legal form of expressing content contained in a contract? Can everyone involved have the ability to identify and understand the meaning of the code?  If “code is law”, how to make sure the party with technical advantages will not abuse its advantages?

Last Friday, China’s official newspaper People’s Daily released an article Bitcoin, a New Form of Digital Gold by Yang Wang. And in an interview, Yang says that after talking with people from the central bank, he believes that the government will define btc as commodity or futures. It is in conflict with the RMB system. And when the PBOC released its own digital currency, most cryptocurrencies would be obsoleted and bitcoin or blockchain startups will move to mobile payment.

then how come they refuse to be interviewed and say they expect regulations on mining pools? The timing is just so weird.

Sichuan is now in wet season and the electricity price will only cost 50% of that of in dry season.
