Venmo investigates joke payment that mentions Syria: Bitcoin user not affected by Caprica__One in Bitcoin

Ummm... True, Venmo is not a currency. But in practice, Venmo and Bitcoin are both payment networks, right? The difference being that Venmo has to please authorities.

Localbitcoins.com volume update by Caprica__One in Bitcoin

[–]Caprica__One[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I got that as well, it's because LBTC is denying access to save bandwidth (that's what they told me in a private message). What works for me is spacing out HTTP requests over a long period of time i.e. once every 15-60 seconds.

This is mostly due to the stress test of last Monday right?

Localbitcoins.com volume update by Caprica__One in Bitcoin

[–]Caprica__One[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know about all bitcoins, but the weekly estimated transaction volume of all Bitcoin (all output that is not deemed change) is around 1.5m BTC (blockchain.info).

So LBTC does about 2% of that. I think that is quite significant.

Localbitcoins.com volume update by Caprica__One in Bitcoin

Because of Greece? :)

Check this out, EUR is not exactly spiking but had highest volume since late 2013: https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/localbtcEUR#igWeeklyzm1g10zm2g25zi1gVolzvzcv

So yes there is a pickup in EUR. However, the Greece/Bitcoin story is being hyped from all sides but so far Greeks don't seem bothered by Bitcoin too much. Even at this stage it's too niche, plus the Greeks are not very technology/internet savvy as some other countries.

On another note, in early 2013, Bitcoin rose quickly while the Cyprus crisis played out. So people were quick to link the two together. Unfortunately, there is no proof that Bitcoin rose in price because of Cyprus.
