 #6Germany attack may threaten Merkel, may lead to a right wing EU exit group to take over... people are talking about the collapse of the EU with Italy and Spain trending in the right, now if Germany goes the the European economy will take a hit, maybe more people are starting to diversify some funds into bitcoins?
 
 Add in the continuous lack of investment options in China and some weird currency issue in India, all could lead to more investments into BitcoinComment

 #19There's a current block size of 1 MB. This needs to be increased now that bitcoin is becoming more popular. SegWit would solve the problem. In order for the soft fork to occur, 95% of the hash power has to agree. ViaBTC represents approximately 6% of the hash power. ViaBTC is rejecting SegWit. They want Bitcoin Unlimited.Originally posted by BrickJamesA war to solve the block size problem?

 #27So are you guys saying I shouldn't immediately turn mine to $$ after I cash in Beat the Prick???
 
 I've got some major studying to do here. Just what I needed, something new I have no clue about and have to learn. And related to technology too, awesome. I miss the days of no computers, cell phones, or internet, and getting up to change your TV channel.  Simple times.

 #29I was clueless about bitcoin up until about a year ago when I watched the 4 part tutorial series of videos that SBR did.

 #30Yes real easy to do. When the book said I should switch to Bitcoin, I was like, I said no way, this is over my head. I tried it, and would never deposit or withdraw any other way. It really is easy. I have been doing it for only 6 months, and now even thinking about getting into the mining part.Originally posted by CapybaraSo are you guys saying I shouldn't immediately turn mine to $$ after I cash in Beat the Prick???

 I have talked to a lot of people that will not do it, because they thought you could only spend Bitcoin on line, and that is not true as you guys here know. Once they found out that you can send to your Bank account, or get a Bitpay card, which works great, they tried it, and they said the same as i do, would not do anything else but BitcoinComment

 #33So does this mean we are f-d on January 3 when BTP pays out, as we'll all be getting them super high, only to have them drop in value from there on?
 
 So if a bitcoin is worth so many damn dollars, that means you buy shit for like $.0015 bitcoins and whatnot? Sounds potentially annoying, lol.Comment

 Or send it straight to a book to deposit as US$
 
 Once you use some it will seem easier than you have imagined. And doubt it will be annoying..Comment
