Remember the Pineapple Fund

For those who weren't around to witness the Pinapple Fund, you should learn about the Pineapple Fund. Tonight I'm raising a glass in thanks to u/PineappleFund and their generosity. Pineapple Fund was an experiment in philanthropy with cryptocurrency wealth. What happens when your 'play-money' becomes a treasure chest, and you're past the satiety point of money? I decided to donate the majority of my cryptocurrency to charities around the world, with an open application process and funding charities big and small. I focused on causes I believe in, or causes I know will work from my experiences. Timed with the 2017 crypto bubble, 5104 BTC was turned into $55 million for charities. I'm happy and proud of the impact that will come, mostly thanks to the amazing charities and the dedicated people behind them. I'm going to remain anonymous, because the point of the Pineapple Fund is not me. I consider this project a success. If you're ever blessed with c

Who else feels really good about buying in right now?

48 hours remain until 2019, and bitties are hella cheap right now. 2018 is done, 2019 is... hell, NO ONE has any idea what the fuck is about to happen in 2019. Not just for bitcoin, but for anything. We're quite literally in.. brand new territory. We're pioneers on this new, futuristic horizon. I can tell that 2019 is going to be a good year. It feels so damn good. Things are going to change. Things are going to get turned over. Things are going to take off. I believe that. And I feel that right now, Bitcoin is the cheapest that it will be, for a very long time. Now is the fucking time. No one is talking about Bit. This is the time. I tasted success in the last run. Bitcoin actually seems to make its big changes at a yearly basis. I don't think it's coincidence that going into 2019, it is so low. My stocks have been suffering, which leads me to believe that the dollar is.. more volatile than it has been in recent years. This gives me more reason to believe that Bitc

Quick Update

17,450,000 bitcoins have been mined over the last ten years (83%). 3,550,000 left to mine over the next one hundred odd years (17%). Fifteen years is enough time for any new technology to gain mainstream adoption, so if mainstream adoption is going to occour chances are it will happen within the next five years. Over the next five years only 1,971,000 bitcoins will be mined. That is only 11% of the amount of new bitcoin we have mined over the last decade. If new demand does nothing but stay the same we will see fire works due to this massive supply reduction over the next five years. If demand flows into the realm of institutional finance well, you do the math. Only 11% of the supply mixed with one hundred times the demand, that would mean 2017 was a warm up just to get you all ready for whats coming. On a serious note it blows my mind how people still dismiss this fact. They cannot grasp the idea of digital scarcity. If you told anyone with a brain that over the next five yea

The Square Cash App is Awesome! My experience buying bitcoin there vs. Coinbase

I wanted to talk about how incredible the Square Cash App is to buy Bitcoin. The major reason imo that it is much better than Coinbase is because they make it so easy to verify your identity and they take far less time to allow you to transfer Bitcoin off of their site. Coinbase was never able to verify my identity even though I tried submitting pictures of my license on multiple occasions. With the square app. I was verified within 24 hours and the software was far easier to use than the Coinbase system. All it asks you to do is line up the front of your license with the camera on your phone and it gives you an outline that automatically takes the picture when the software determines that it is centered perfectly. It then asks you to do the same thing for the back of your license. Finally, it asks you to take a picture of your face and it gives you an outline to do that as well but you can choose when you are centered correctly in the picture. Once that is done it tells you that it

I'm creating a self-hosted, lightning Patreon alternative called satsbacker

I wasn't too happy with the current Bitcoin patreon alternatives (tallycoin and bitbacker) so I've created my own. The goal is to have a *self-hosted* and open-source (MIT licensed) alternative to solve this problem for good. ​ It currently only supports the Bitcoin lightning network, but I plan to implement onchain payments, and stripe/paypal as well. No shitcoins (fork it if you wish). ​ I've started a satsbacker for satsbacker. You can help fund development here: https://satsbacker.com . There's also a testnet version to get your feet wet if you haven't tried lightning yet: https://testnet.satsbacker.com . If there's enough interest I will release the source and a full fledged version in the coming months. I plan to make this a self-hosted and self-sovereign alternative to btcpayserver, earn.com , yalls.org , etc. Please send upboats and bits if this sounds interesting to you! ​ Cheers, Submitted December 28, 2018 at 11:31PM by jb55 http://bit.ly/2

Demand for Bitcoin will Increase in a Global Recession

Bitcoin is fueled by gamblers and drug businesses. Gambling and drugs in general are $500B+ and $300B+ annual revenue markets. When people lose their jobs, the demand for escaping reality with get-rich-quick fantasies will increase. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3501160/ The author finds that lottery sales are sensitive to the state unemployment rate, increasing by about 0.17% for each 1% increase in that rate.The only gambling sector that appears to be recession proof is lottery consumption. This series is characterized by a vast and solid growth that appears to be independent of the business cycle and of temporary shocks to income. Casino expenditures appear to have significant positive growth during both expansion and recession. When people lose their jobs, more people will turn to using and dealing drugs. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0955395917300877 We synthesized 28 studies published between 1990 and 2015.

The amount of personal info exchanges request nowadays is insane

When I first bought bitcoin ages ago, I'm pretty sure I didn't need to put in but some basic info, link it to a card, and I was on my way. Nowadays it feels like you need to hand over the rights to your first-born child to exchange currency into crypto. Not that I'm trying to be super anonymous or anything, but it's certainly enough to make one think twice when these exchanges start asking for things like scans of your ID and/or your social. Is the case across the board now? Or are there still exchanges/reasonable ways to obtain crypto without attaching your whole life story to it?

If you use Electrum, in case you get a error message that tells you to update please ignore (ongoing phishing attack).

Details here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4968 copy paste from SomberNight in the github issue: TL;DR: There is an ongoing attack against users where servers raise exceptions when a client broadcasts a transaction; in this case the error text is displayed as is in the client GUI. The attacker has spawned lots of servers on different /16 IPv4s to increase his chances of being connected to. The error messages are trying to get the user to download and install malware (disguised as updated versions of electrum).` apparently previous Electrum versions allow richtext in error messages sent by the server, so the upgrade warning might look legit to people...

Friendly Reminder: Running a bitcoin full node + lightning node is mainly done for helping the bitcoin network become more robust, decentralized and build the future of finance, NOT TO EARN BITCOIN!

Title says it all, there are too many people asking if they can earn money by running a lightning node and altho you can earn some pennies that should be the least of your concerns. Lightning is rapidly increasing cuz its easy, fast, fun and cheap not because it makes you money. Long life bitcoin. Edit/ hey guys i think some of you are missing the point of the post. I have seen lately in this sub many new redditors asking if a lightning node will make them any money and that shouldnt be (IMHO) the the first question you want to ask youself before running a lightning node...

Bitcoin as the Ultimate Haven from Hyperinflation: A Country By Country Analysis Of Worldwide Fiat Currency Inflation

https://cryptoiq.co/bitcoin-as-the-ultimate-haven-from-hyperinflation-a-country-by-country-analysis-of-worldwide-fiat-currency-inflation/ Bitcoin was created during the Great Recession that started in 2008, when the governments of the world printed trillions of dollars to bail out banks and corporations. Satoshi Nakamoto intended Bitcoin to be a decentralized form of money that could not be printed by governments at will. In the the Genesis Block Satoshi included the message “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of the second bailout for banks.” Fiat currencies continue to be the dominant form of global currency, but it seems logical that, if fiat currencies were to hyperinflate and collapse, Bitcoin would become the dominant global currency. This is because Bitcoin can be sent instantly anywhere in the world and is cryptographically secure. It is easy enough to integrate Bitcoin into any e-commerce store or physical store, and the customers of the future will be able to sen

The Bitcoin Bank Run on 3rd Jan can boost the price of BTC

Just like regular Banks, Bitcoin exchanges only hold a fraction of the Bitcoins they claim to hold for us. A properly and significant executed Bank run on the exchanges can force them to stack up there Bitcoin holdings. Granted they wont have to have a backing of every single BTC holdings they officially have. But they might have only 20% of the Bitcoin they display to have, if the Proof of Keys/Bitcoin Independence day gets enough traction, they might have to buy up alot of Bitcoin from the market in order to be able to keep the service up and withdrawals possible.

But i have to be honest. I don’t think a lot will happen on Proof of Keys day. Although it should be a annual event to spread awareness. Until now i just bought and hold my coins on my exchange account. In the 4 years I’ve been trading in cryptos I’ve never had any problems. But that’s just pure ignorance and a bit of luck.

All countries are about to start experiencing dual economies.

The internet now has it own money and its own economy. Before bitcoin a countries economy and currency were just seen relative to other countries, but now they will also be seen relative to bitcoin globally, which exists inside your borders. Think of the internet as a new country with its own currency and it is growing like a free trade zone inside every country simutaneously. We will soon see every country experience dual economies where the people adopting the new system will start earning more in terms of purchasing power than those who dont. Heres an example. Take any country with a black market for dollars like Argentina. The people who deal only in dollars fair far far better than those that earn and save in pesos. The US dollar seems strong but thats because everything else is just relatively beyond weak. When bitcoin provides a dual economy in the US it will make the US dollar look like the venezuelan bolivar by comparison. 2% inflation per year compounded is not stabilit

Proof of Keys / Proof of Trust / Bitcoin Independence Day

Folks, the goal should be for everyone to have their keys by January 3rd. Not everyone to withdraw at that time! Also the goal should be to create a culture of permanently holding your own private keys and make it a best practice for every single purchase every time. Every single Satoshi off these exchanges every time! Think about how many people say.. I only have a few dollars worth of bitcoin so my small amount doesn't matter. Wrong! If you added all of those people up you start to appreciate that the cumulative effect of this mentality is devastating as it gives these bank backed exchanges power to control world's largest Bitcoin wallets and hence the price of bitcoin! It's imperative that we speak to our family and friends and fellow community members about the urgency of removing all of Bitcoin off of these exchanges as soon as possible regardless of how much (or little) they own. This is our opportunity to take the power back from these Legacy financial institutions

Bitcoin is getting fun! (And useful!)

I've been following this sub since the middle of last year, but I've never really used Bitcoin to buy anything. I've often seen people here suggest using Bitcoin when possible for purchases then immediately buying more Bitcoin to replace what you've just spent. But, it has always seemed impractical to spend both the Bitcoin transaction fees and the exchange fees (for replacing the Bitcoin quickly) just for the sake of spreading Bitcoin as a useable currency. BUT, today I used the Lightning wallet feature on the new Bluewallet app to buy a sticker from Blockstream. It worked perfectly, instantly. I then used the Cash App by square to transfer cash from my bank account, buy Bitcoin instantly, and transfer the Bitcoin to my Bluewallet to replace what I had spent all with no fees. I did this all on my phone while waiting in a checkout line at a store. Took less than a few minutes. It was fun and exciting to actually use Bitcoin and I will be on the lookout for more ways

This is Ross Ulbricht's 6th Christmas in prison. A powerful message was posted on his Twitter today.

Here's a message posted on Ross Ulbricht's Twitter today: "Each morning I wake up in this tiny cell, I dread facing another day. Gratitude is the antidote I use, giving thanks just to be alive, to be healthy, to have so many wonderful people in my life. "Thank you" is my mantra all day. It turns dread into joy even here." ​ If you haven't done so, you can sign his petition for clemency here . ​ Submitted December 20, 2018 at 11:11PM by caro_lala https://ift.tt/2PVNWxW

Coinbase wants to reward its users for "educating" themselves about some of the lesser-known tokens. The real intention is of course to create an illusion of competence - users are more likely to buy things they think they understand & feel in control.

The seller sent erroneous documents to support that had nothing to do with my transaction.

I've been buying bitcoins since the first time it hit $1,000. Hear me out

That was several years ago. I have never sold a single bitcoin, and although I kinda wish I did when it hit $19,000, I didn't know where it would go. Those people telling you to sell at $19k because it was obvious it was overpriced would have told you the same at 9k, 10k, 11k, 12k, etc. Fact is, if bitcoin could reach 19k, it could reach 30k, 40k, no problems. I've bought my first bitcoin during the bitcoin craze, when it broke $1,000 USD. It then crashed to $200 but at this point, I was hooked, and kept buying with a budget of $1,000 per month. This includes buying bitcoins at $200, $300, $500, etc. This includes YEARS of having no return on my bitcoin investment while stock soared. My thought today? Well, I am now buying $2,000 of bitcoins every month. I don't plan on selling in the next 5+ years unless we get a crazy run and the price is so high I can't refuse - but even there, it will be hoping for a crash (which we may or may not get, don't believe the nays

Story: A Coinbase user accidentally sends bitcoin to a litecoin address. Coinbase support claims it's not recoverable. Someone on Twitter helps the user recover the funds successfully.

(Edit: screwed up title - it was litecoin sent to a bitcoin address, not the other way around) Just listened to the story on the recent Blockdigest episode. The TL;DR is in the title. It's of course the mistake of the user to not being careful enough, but also negligence on part of Coinbase not to have any sort of warning or restrictions in place for sending bitcoin to a litecoin address (which seems like an easy and reasonable thing to implement). But particularly negligent is to claim that the funds are not recoverable anymore, which is simply not true, and luckily, another Twitter user was able to help recover the funds successfully (worth around $2.5k). So the Coinbase support was simply either incompetent or just lazy or lying, which is all equally concerning, as such cases are likely not very rare with all the newbies coming into the space and Coinbase being one of the biggest fiat on-ramps into bitcoin.

Fun with bots -- Let's make a massive sell wall at $20K!

Hey hodlers! Let's have some fun with the trading bots. First let me explain something that you may not know if you're not a traditional "investor" When third parties hold your -- let's say -- stocks for you, did you know that they can trade them and write contracts on them as long as you don't put them "on order?" One old trick is to place your shares on order, meaning, set a limit order at a price much higher than the current price. This prevents your broker from lending your shares to short sellers (and actually forces short sellers who may have already borrowed your shares to close at the current price). This article explains more about the concept I did something fun today -- instead of sending all of my latest purchase to cold storage, I placed half of it on order for sale at $20K. I'm sure today's nice little rise had nothing to do with my little order, but it got me thinking... What if 10,000 people placed a tiny limit order of,

If fiat is a scam why do you guys even care what the BTC fiat price is?

Seems like 99,9% of posts are fiat price related.....where are all the 1BTC=1BTC evangalists? Fiat is BS but our end goal is to sell all BTC for fiat profit in the future The whole BTC community is a joke just another get rich attempt... the end goal is cashing out to the almighty dollar Submitted December 15, 2018 at 03:20PM by wesred https://ift.tt/2UTgw6K

Watching roger and craig fight it out. You gotta thank the universe you stuck with bitcoin.

Let's face it Bitcoin cash failed. There is more derision and bitterness in that space now than a year ago. The two chains abc and sv are low grade networks dominated by the personalities of Roger (who happily vouched for Mt gox) and Craig who is playing a very week con. On top of that both chains are dominated by what can only be described as mining cartels. And one such cartel holds over 1million tokens of both chains. I don't think it's possible for the market to absorb those coins without pushing down massively. It's a bigger smoking gun than a potential tether scandal.

Just bought 10 BTC and I'm very proud & confident about my investment 💪

I've been closely following crypto for about a year now. I waited so long for a good occasion to buy in, teaching myself about blockchain and cryptography. I invested 80% of my free time to read about the tech (online and from books), I've taught myself programming and worked my arse off to accumulate captial need for the push (I even took a sociology course to better understand how disinformation works). " Never invest in a business you cannot understand " - I was fascinated by crypto from the very first day I heard about it and today, after so much hard work, I can say not only I'm fascinated by blockchain but also understand how it works. Today I bought 10 BTC as a long term investment and despite all the negativity and FUD I'm very confident it will pay off in the future. I've never been so excited in my life. Stay strong handed!

BITCOIN WILL NEVER DIE - Long term holding you will be exceptionally rewarded - Asset Manager Insight -

The crypto asset class has burst: game over? With Bitcoin touching 3,248$ recently, one may wonder if the near 90% crash experienced from the all-time highs last December has invalidated the case for crypto assets. A drawdown of this magnitude points to a bubble having obviously deflated, claim the long term sceptics. Current price adjustment would be, in their opinion, a reversion back to the true fundamentals of crypto assets, which should be valued “at best” as a commodity. But wait a minute. Bitcoin crashed 90% in 2011 and already died a 1st time. Except that it rallied 7287% afterwards until the next cyclical high is found. Bitcoin crashed 92% in 2014 and died a second time. Once again, it rallied dramatically and price increased 1500% until a new cyclical top is found in 2017. Those examples show that “the bubble has popped theory” might actually be only half-correct. Yes, a 90% drawdown points to short term excesses being corrected. Does it mean that the new (lower) price le
