I have advertised only via word of mouth that my company accepts Bitcoin for custom plans and today we got our second Bitcoin payment!

Edit: a bit more info: We are a digital marketing company and Paypal has been banned in Turkey so it is a very good example of what Bitcoin should be used for. Submitted April 01, 2019 at 03:40AM by asciiker https://ift.tt/2HQ2P56

After years of reading economics, I'm still impressed by Central Bankers' ability to take the simplest of ideas (deflationary money) and obfuscate it with word-garbage in order to hide a simple fact - that they are thieves rationalizing a century-long robbery that's finally about to crash the World.

PSA: DO NOT USE BITPAY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES..

Facts -BitPay has, as of March 3rd, 2019, requested that FirstView Financial, LLC, the issuers of their PrePaid Visa Debit Cards (for which BitPay users hold a bank account), halt ALL access to cash held in its users accounts, except for signature purchases at a merchant. This includes all cash-back transactions, ACH transfers to another Bank Account, and ALL ATM WITHDRAWLS. -FirstView Financial, LLC is insisting that BitPay is in fact in control of this- however, as BitPay only serves as a means of exchange, they can only request that this action be taken by the Card Issuers. FirstView Financial has obliged this request. -BitPay is stating that this is due to a "Systems Upgrade" being completed to make transactions smoother. However, after 3 weeks, neither BitPay nor FirstView Financial, LLC is able to give an estimate as to when these "Systems Upgrades" will be completed. BitPay has convinced FirstView Financial, LLC to make false statements regarding the true

Well, thats about 10mil SATs that aren't coming back...

About a month ago my raspibolt node bitcoind client became unsync'd and after a month of troubleshooting am throwing in the towel. my LND with open channels is probably unrecoverable since it runs on top of bitcoind, so there goes 10mil SATs. As someone who knew nothing about Linux before doing this I'm willing to admit I got in over my head with this shit lol. It ran great for a couple months then just crapped out. I wish it would have lasted longer. my node: https://1ml.com/node/02ee8c98a78d8061f6c9c09a9b36b05e02e03736609ea5e5eb8afdcd7f7163c50f Submitted March 30, 2019 at 04:35AM by bluethunder1985 https://ift.tt/2I1UniG

420 days! Let this sink in:

Next year, in May 2020 (in 420 days): 1) The Bitcoin daily supply will be in the 3 digits (900/day) and the BTC/block on a single digit (6.25 BTC/block) for the first time ever. Making Bitcoin even more scarce. 2) The total Bitcoins mined will be over 18 Million.

Why I'm investing in bitcoin. Not to get rich, not because I think the dollar will die, but because the dollars purchasing power is volitialy decreasing at a dangerous rate.

Yup, the dollar may never die. But it's inflation is permanent, and volatile. You think crypto is volatile? Compare it to the history of the dollar and the loss of its buying power. My grandma used to buy burgers for 10 cents and 25 cents for a full meal, my dad bought them for 25 cent and a dollar for a full meal. Me? Just one generation later I was buying burgers for 1 dollar as a kid and 3 dollars for a meal. Now as an adult I can't find a meal for less than 10 dollars, and on average cant buy a real sized burger like the ones I got as a kid for less than 5 dollars. Imagine what they'll cost in the next 30 years, 30 to 50 dollars for a burger a 100 dollars a meal? That's why we're buying bitcoin. Not to make insane amounts of money, but to protect the value of what we have now from the inflationary dollar. Because our measly 10 dollars for a meal doesnt seem like a lot now, but that value, if protected from fiats inflation, will be worth upward of 100 to a thous

I have 1 full BTC!!

I essentially discovered BTC just before the ATH and bought in at the absolute worst times. Learning more about BTC, I knew it was a long-term play and kept buying no matter what. Today I finally broke the 1.0 mark and am super excited. I have been educating friends and family about BTC, helping some get started as well. I genuinely we will see greater adoption and 4k for 1 BTC is a great deal. For those out there that are still chipping away, good luck, it sure feels good to see a whole number in my portfolio :) Submitted March 29, 2019 at 12:35AM by DaBeeJ https://ift.tt/2Ug6SgL

​ Malicious video ad ​ Malicious URL the Ad brings you to The malicious advertisement is disguised to look like a real Electrum advertisement (other than a guy with a distorted Russian accent explaining what to do). It even tells you to go to the correct link (electrum.org) in the video but when you click on the advertisement it immediately starts downloading the malicious EXE file. As you can see in the image the URL it sent me to is elecktrum.org, not electrum.org . ​ I couldn't find a place to report the issue to Google so I guess we'll just have to wait until they deal with it on their own.

I just fulfilled my dream of owning 1 BTC

Using a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I've known about Bitcoin since early 2014, right after the time when BTC crossed the historic $1000 mark. I learned about Bitcoin the same way a lot of curious folks did back in the day, Silk Road. I learned through Silk Road that Bitcoin was a global, uncensorable currency but didn't understand the intricacies of how and why Satoshi made it that way. I bought about 1 BTC through localbitcoin via cash and spent it all on "good stuff" at Silk Road. I bought and spent almost 10 BTC over the next two or three years. That's when I read the Bitcoin whitepaper for the first time and it dawned on me, the genius of Satoshi, why proof of work matters, why there will only be 21M BTC, how UTXO works etc. But by that time it was too late, the bull run had already started and I had 0 BTC in my wallet. I was upset with myself for a long time for spending all that BTC over the years but that's when I started saving to some da

Social scalability is hard...and it begins by resisting the urge to reply to everyone. The bigger this gets, the more people there will be who will get it wrong, deliberately or not. We just have to get better at ignoring the noise.

Just bought Bitcoin for the first time!

I'm in South Korea, and I just bought 0.1 BTC a few days ago. Mainly bought it out of curiosity and partly because I believe it's bound to go up again. Feels weird seeing it fluctuate just like stocks, but there aren't any real movements except a very very slight increase. ($3 in profit yay) Won't attempt to make any short term profit tho, I'm not that confident. Just gonna hold it and see where it goes.

Hal Finney

I did a write up for an article about the possible whereabouts of Satoshi Nakamoto. I have already written about Nick Szabo, Dorian Nakamoto, and Dave Kleiman. Im writing about Hal now and I thought you may enjoy it. Hal Finney Hal Finney was quite influential in the beginning of Bitcoin. He received the first BTC transaction from “Satoshi Nakamoto”. But I am getting ahead of myself. Lets start at the beginning. Hal was born on May 4, 1956. He began his computer-centric career developing console video games. This really intrigued me, as I was a huge fan of console gaming back in the 80’s. Games like “Adventures of Tron (ironic I know), Armor Ambush, Space Attack, and space attack. Hal eventually left the console world to focus on cryptography. He became a developer for the PGP corporation (Which happened to be one of the first publicly available implementations of public-key cryptography) This allowed people to chat with each other via computer with encryption ensuring a secure conn

The USA’s Federal Reserve System- New member appointed by Trump is a warning shot to the FED

Stephen Moore, Trump’s new pick to the FED, this guy is the biggest critic of the Fed. He believes the FED should act more like the GAO not be completely private and more accountable. The Fed has to be more like the GAO. Private banks shouldn’t be able to shock the economy by raising interest rates overnight to benefit a small rich minority. People love Bitcoin’s model cause you can plan its supply by the block rewards reduction every four years so you can plan your financial security for 20,30,60,100 years. No surprises in bitcoin. Plus the USA government works for the people. They should lend money at zero % and not be benefiting off its citizens. Other countries without central banks, did that and the economy grew. The central banks hated it. Stephen Moore is the warning shot the FED needs. Look at the USA’s GAO. Similar charter but they don’t profit off it.

The website is called Constellation and is intended to be an educational tool for Bitcoin.

While supported, I don't recommend creating mainnet transactions. The project was inspired by the various interactive educational websites that I personally used when learning about Bitcoin.

My response to Roger Ver's Bitcoin.com YouTube channel video titled "Why some people call Bitcoin Cash, Bcash"

Here's the video in question: https://youtu.be/79CpsJtIheY I left the following response as a comment, and am archiving it here for historical purposes in the event they delete the comment, enjoy. Jihan was mining on proprietary hardware not available to the public. He made a business decision to fork Bitcoin to keep his machines viable. He thought community would just magically follow along to his side of the chain. Bitcoin Cash is a social engineering attack on Bitcoin. Satoshi's vision was Bitcoin Cash, in the sense that Bitcoin is open source software, and anyone at anytime can fork it for whatever reason. Is it a good idea to do so? No, you silo yourselves from consensus (remember community voted with nodes, hashpower, and an economic majority). Bitcoin will survive Bitcoin Cash. If Bitcoin as a community made the decision to change proof-of-work algorithms, or block sizes, or any other property of Bitcoin, we'd have to come into consensus, and softfork an upgrade

I left the bitcoin subreddit and joined the btc reddit. I stayed subbed to both. On the other side I instantly got red flags with just how welcoming and guenine the people there were and how smart everyone seemed. Everyone was telling me and explaining to me the difference between the 2 and how staoshis vision bcash was going to easily overtake btc. When the price hit I got scared and was like, shit, this really happening. Everyone was saying get on the boat before it's too late. They all said the technology is better! I now understand why 0conf tx is bad... wtf... I lost ALL my money in Bcash because I honestly feel like I got manipulated bu their sub with the open arms and the seemingly smart people.

(Sorry, this is the second time I post this...I deleted accidentally the first one... Still a noob at Reddit...) Hi, I would like to share a personal experience I had with my bank today. I was expecting since December a payment income from a company I usually work with. They are a very reliable client and normally I do not have any problems to get my invoices payed. I was waiting for a payment from December, January and February and it didn't arrive to my bank account. I called the company several times and they where telling me that the payment was done but they had to look into it with the financial department. So I waited. I was busy the last month and was not really checking my account very often... But when I did I got really upset. Today I called them very pissed of, telling them that they have to pay me. I was really annoyed about the situation. I got the guy on the phone who deals with my invoices (finally) and he told me that he has a report that the payment was don

There is no point in arguing with people

I hope you can all now see there has been some healthy stabilisation and we are unlikely to sink below $3000 USD without some major event be it a few large players dumping, a flaw in protocol or legislation that impacts negatively. My strong recommendation to you all is to not promote Bitcoin to people anymore and not to defend it to people throwing out nonsense soundbites attacking it. You've done your research which is why you are still here, so don't waste your time with the naysayers and the serially misinformed; it is there destiny to miss this opportunity. When friends come to you with serious desire to get informed tell them to join an exchange but not to purchase any Bitcoin until they have read a book like "the internet of money" or "the Bitcoin standard". They shouldn't invest until they understand the proposition, and it should not be your burden to be their financial adviser. Submitted March 18, 2019 at 01:30PM by Jyontaitaa https://i

Why Most Educated People Fail to Understand Bitcoin

So Dr Doom is not stupid after all, he might just be uneducated! 😊 I also found the same to be true with most otherwise educated people I discussed Bitcoin with. They are not stupid by any means, but they just fail to see the value proposal of Bitcoin, which requires basic understanding across many disciplines, such as economy, computing, cryptography, banking, and more. While consistently complaining about rising prices, most of them were even unaware of the mechanisms behind inflation. Submitted March 17, 2019 at 11:11PM by patriceac https://ift.tt/2TbYA59

Anonymizing bitcoins on your Ledger device

As most of you probably know Ledger Nano S , while providing some very decent security, lacks several important features in its LedgerLive app, namely - ability to to use your own full node for syncing up the transactions, ability to view utxos and control which ones get spent (like you can in Electrum ) - to name a few. This seriously hampers one's ability to maximize whatever privacy features are currently available in the Bitcoin network. Many users are now aware that they can actually setup an Electrum-based wallet while still using Ledger for transaction signing. However, not many realize they can actually migrate their existing bitcoin wallets that they see on LedgerLive app to Electrum. It requires a few jumps through the hoops - but is rewarding in the end. My set up was as follows - I had a legacy Bitcoin and a segwit-enabled wallet. I was able to migrate them both to Electrum, so I could control any subsequent tx's with Ledger from Electrum. I was also able to imp

You can find more details about our Opening Class here https://www.8btc.com/article/79496 (in Chinese). Today, with many peoples hard work, the lightning network has become much more useful, and we have released a new version of Bitpie ( bitpie.com ) with a beta testing Lightning Network functions to help you trying this amazing new technology. ​ https://i.redd.it/u9ccyw3pphm21.jpg Submitted March 16, 2019 at 07:21PM by bithernet https://ift.tt/2Hq2KoD

LND For WP - A WordPress plugin for managing and using your LND node.

Hi everybody, I wanted to drop by to quickly tell you about a project I've been working on recently. Like a lot of you, I'm super stoked about the upcoming release of Lightning Network enabled wallets like 'Zap' & 'Lightning-App' from Lightning Labs. I was, however, a little disappointed when I learnt that these projects won't be supporting older generation iOS / Android devices. I was able to spin up and host an LND node, to participate on the Lightning Network, but managing and using it lacked the simplicity and convenience of a native mobile wallet. To get around this, I wanted to create a rapidly deployable, web based solution that would allow me to connect to and manage my LND node from any of my web enabled devices. I wanted the app to look and feel as much like the next generation of native mobile wallets as possible, while still providing plenty of control over the core node functionality. I decided to package my solution as a WordPress plug

I realize I have no clue what BTC is worth or will be worth, but I do know most alternatives have a way worse value proposition. We only need to educate and have some patience.

Once one has seen the light there seems to be no way back. So we just have to show others what we see. Don't try to convince anyone, changes takes time, just enlighten others. But if I look at the pace new developments tend to pickup, faster and faster every time, I do think a lot of us will be surprised in ten years time when they will look back.

Look at the trends and relax. These cycles are normal.

Just some food for thought. BTC went to $1 and then crashed down to 13 cents. Another time it went to $100 and crashed down to $15. Another time it went to $1K+ and came back down to slightly less than $200. Another time it went to $20K and fell to $3K. Each time of the 'crash', it's still a much higher low. Bull and bear markets are normal cycles. This is one of the longest bear markets we've seen. There will be another bull market. It's what the market does. While everyone is shouting out $1500 BTC, I'm extremely confident we will never see those prices, ever again. In fact I think in the next 3-4 years we touch $100K and then "crash down" to $20K. And then the next panic cycle begins. Relax. Remember this is new technology. It needs time for adoption. A lot of time. Tech always does. Give it another 10 years and, if by then, we're still at $4K-ish, I'd be a bit more concerned. I think time is running out for people to accumulate. For t

Bitcoin or: How I Learned to Stopped Worrying and Love the Debt

Tick Tock goes the debt clock! $22.1 Trillion and Counting "Bitcoin or: How I Learned to Stopped Worrying and Love the Debt" The crash that everyone seems to be predicting as a foregone conclusion will not happen in 2020 or in the next several years for that matter. The economic downturn already happened in 2018. That was the markets taking a breather from this historic run on all assets. Our financial system has not been systemically improved since 2008/9; it is still a house of cards dependent on debt slaves taking on more obligations and not defaulting. However the environment in which that house of cards is built has somewhat shifted. It is now all but decided that inflation and low/negative interest rates will be used to prop up the markets. Why do I believe that is the case? For many reasons. First and foremost the beneficiaries of inflationary QE style stimulus is almost everybody, at least in the short term. Inflation reduces the burden of past debts; so de

Thank you to the person who saved my grandma from getting scammed of $2000

So a few days ago my grandma actually got saved by a person that knew about bitcoin. She received a call from one of those CRA scammers and my grandma is innocent and gullible and wants everyone to be safe and by the book. This asshole on the phone kept scaring my grandma so she can pay. She didn't call us because she didn't want to worry us, but now she knows to always keep us informed and that we are here for each other. ​ Anyways, she was directed to some convenience store to use a bitcoin ATM of some sort. There was a man that was ordering something, but noticed my grandma being hesitant or confused. After his purchase, he approached my grandma and asked her about the paper she was holding. It was a paper my grandma wrote "CRA" and the location of the ATM. He asked her if she was making a payment to the "CRA". My grandma told me she was nervous and ignored him. So he just said, please don't do it because its a scam if you're making a bitcoin
