Of course not! And you know that very well also. I know you are just trolling here, but are also aware of the solutions which will be released as soon as SigWit is implemented (but that's a whole other story).

@Sprout, thank you for the compliment. But the answer to your question, I already wrote in that same post: One word for people who say it's not rare, because you can make so many copies. Yes indeed. But it's not the copy that counts: it's the number of users and use cases, and more...

I hope you will remember this conversation in the year 2020.

Reading your posts, I have to say you are still very misinformed and jumping to misjudged conclusions. You think that exchanges aren't regulated, but that's not the case. At least: if you really want a regulated crypto-currency Exchange then you have to select the ones which apply to the...

Be aware that those Exchange hacks have nothing to do with the security of Bitcoin itself. You simply should not give the ownership of your Bitcoins to an exchange. Just the same as you shouldn't give your dollars to a Bank (which were frequently robbed in the early years, and can still go bust...

------------- Jdesey said: "So please explain to me why this is such a great asset" ------------- To Jdesey: While Suntrader is right: do some in depth research. You will be confused by the many different explanations (bitcoin has many use cases for as many users). To help you on the right...

I understand your point, but manipulating time isn't the way to go (it has collateral damage as well). Instead, man should accept that unwanted things can and will happen, but can be countered by taking precautions, failsafes and insurances. Look, if you take a hike in the mountains, you take a...

So if someone believes with his heart an soul that Innovation is what humanity drives, he should be personally attacked by the fact his English isn't well enough? Innovation is what drives me. It is the reason that I'm currently working on projects in 3Dscanning, 3Dprinting, robotics, and...

It reads "at least". As a minimum time frame. and 2020 as a maximum. This 2017 is an important date in Bitcoins-lifeline, as by then the algorithmic inflation will abruptly go from 25 to 12.5 coins per 10 minutes (this will have quite some effect on the scarcity). Just a honest and well-meant...

No, Google translate is as bad as my English. The correct Dutch translation should be: "Google's vertalingen zijn geweldig!"

Tja, we zijn niet allemaal zo goed in Engels (zeker niet als er ook nog dyslectie in het spel is). Hoe dan ook, ik moet de eerste Amerikaan nog zien, die meer talen "enigszins" beheerst dan ik.....

I'm a well educated Dutch resident (born and raised) and owner of a Trading/Software company. We don't trade Bitcoins at all (but personally own some, and will hold until 2020). And you made a fool of yourself again. (of course my real name isn't Hoi)

Pffff.... if you have such a high level of education (which is very doubtful, ready your posts), then you haven't paid attention when Money was taught. Yes, mister: Money is a register! It's a register of IOU. And if you are so against frauds and scams, then my advice: stay away from any...

Your posts tells it all to clear: you haven't understand anything of what a distributed-Ledger means, not one single bit ! A Ledger is extremely valuable and you use it every day: to register your possessions (house, car, land, marriage, bank-account, broker, money-transfers, etc...). For the...

Mister "butterfly", if you lived 120 years ago, you probably represented the club of horse breeder/traders, vituperative towards those dangerous and noisy Cars used by lunatics.... Distributed-Ledger-technology is invented, might even get a Nobel-prize once, and you will use it sometime in...

Somewhere this year an Bitcoin ETF is expected to be launched. Then you can trade on the NASDAQ (ticker: COIN). My guess is, that with a volatility like this many (day)traders will love this new trading class. (and skeptics like yourself can "safely" go Short).

The following companies do like Tulips a lot, as well: Microsoft, NCR, Dell, PayPal+Braintree, Expedia, Newegg, Tigerdirect, Overstock, Wikipedia, Mozilla, Greenpeace, TIME inc(magazines: Fortune, Time), to name just a few. More to come in 2015

Well written piece indeed, but flawed as well... Because it's focused on just one aspect: "Incentives to secure the network (which is Mining)". Not only will happen what he writes: "The only solace is that, in the long run, the system should self-correct, as miners drop out and mining gets...

It's not much different than Oil or Gold: all overshoots to the upside as well to the downside. Buy low, hold 5 years, and be happy.

You should do some more study here. They don't want to issue an altcoin, but instead go for a Bitcoin-backed: Side-chain or colored-coin. This means that it's still pure Bitcoin-backed and not an altcoin at all.
