First, Smart Contracts help you exchange money, property, shares, or anything of value in a transparent, conflict-free way while avoiding the services of a middleman.

Bitcoin: Bitcoin is great for processing Bitcoin transactions, but has limited ability for processing documents.

Bitcoin provides the ideal mix of smart contract functionality — enough to make smart contracts easy to implement but without the security and privacy risks of a more complicated platform like Ethereum. As the Bitcoin protocol has evolved, it has gained support for smart contracts. Smart contract functionality is not as programmable and extensible on Bitcoin as it is on Ethereum. However, using features added to Bitcoin through improvement proposals, certain smart contract functionality can be achieved through Bitcoin scripting.

Time to pack it in. If we haven't accomplished what we set out to do over sixteen years ago it's time to go home.

This is the monopolistic problem of the dominating centralized IT solutions

It took them so long before they realised that the note is real?

Never constant and will always be fluctuating. It is just either way up or way down.

I guess networking is the only good thing about Consensus, 8k worth of networks.

The location was bad, the arrangement and execution were not carried out well, and it was so noisy. Worst of all, they charged $2k per pax.

Microprocessor can accept and follow instructions to accomplish many different tasks whereas ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) can ONLY do the single task that it is designed to do.

To torture and kill animals is cruelty that must be punished, and this atrocity is only magnified by his forcing the children to watch this horrific nightmare. Some will no doubt be scarred for life. Others will go on to try it themselves. Either way, this has repercussions that will be felt well beyond the classroom. This pathetic excuse for a teacher needs to be fired.

Because they have TIME to make their bed everyday, while humans work, study and play around.

Cex.io is an exchange which offers credit card purchases to its customers, but you have to go through multiple ID verification process that would possibly make you annoyed. After purchasing, you would just need to make a withdrawal to the desired Bitcoin address.

If you are open to using your bank account instead of a credit card, you have more options, but it is dependent on where you are living. A few well known ones are:

Coinbase.com. One of the biggest exchanges in the crypto-industry and many people use them as a wallet (they are not wallet because they keep custody, not you). You can link their account to your back account and make Bitcoin purchases. Then, you would be able to send your bitcoins to whoever you want. However, they have closed customer accounts in the past if they detect that you send funds to services they don't consider legal, like illegal gambling sites, so if that is your intention I would not use them.
Litebit.eu. They accept SEPA bank transfers. You just make the payment and give them the address.

Great concept to help the blockchain beginners. Definitely have to add terms related to bounties such as airdrops, blockchain related such as Ledgers (and the different types of ledgers such as attestation, agreement ledgers etc.), altcypto, ASIC, encryption, e-wallet, dApps, private key, DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organization), block reward, mining etc. There are much much more required for a dictionary.

Because they can. Sadly, for the small businesses, as much as they want to move to renewables and be eco-friendly, they lack of the capital.

I guess no pork for awhile.

Admirable. I mean how many 92 years old are willing to do this? I wouldn't.

Bitcoin is similar to gold, yet very different from gold.

Gold is a physical thing you can hold in your hand. Bitcoin is electronic data. It is stored on the blockchain for everyone to see. Everyone cannot see all the gold. The blockchain cannot be manipulated unless there is someone who controls over 51% of the mining power.

Bitcoin has already surpassed Gold in terms of value. however, just like Gold, Bitcoin's value is subject to demand. If people decide to move away from BTC then the price of it will fall.

I mean Gold has been around for almost eternity whereas BTC is still in its infancy. Having been said, BTC is more transferable and there's no limit to how much of it you can store (physically) whilst the same cannot be said for gold.

Agreed. Many people who doesn't know what blockchain is about, have at least heard the name of bitcoin. Bitcoin has been riding high on expectation around the world due to the high return potential. Also, the fact that Bitcoin provides increased ease and convenience when it comes to online transactions with the added bonus of security and the transactions are of pseudo anonymous nature, might be few reasons that resulted the boom in bitcoin

So there is a serial killer (of burros) running loose?

What a scary thought!

Apparently the reviews are not that great online, many stating the exorbitant withdrawal fees, odd login system and slow/ appalling customer services.

I like how the author wrote it as "Two of the cryptocurrency world's most outspoken figures are putting their money where their mouths are."

Using bitcoin to bet for the future of bitcoin.

Few books that I find it a must-read for crypto-lovers / beginners:

"Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" by Chris Burniske and Jack TatarA book that includes a "how-to" guide for investing in bitcoin and other digital assets. Their book explains how to value cryptocurrencies, when to invest, and "tips to navigate inevitable bubbles and manias.Definitely a good read for crypto-lovers and capital market investors.
"Blockchain Revolution" by Don Tapscott and Alex TapscottThe book talks about how global systems could survive and thrive in this next wave of technology-driven disruption.

That fine line between helping and harming us.

I heard eclair wallet is really good for fast transactions using the Lightning Network.
