How do you figure that? Elon invested in BTC and ETH? :)

This is a wonderful idea. You mention Facebook - I think FB could be leveraged here as well.. perhaps a neighborhood group.

I can't think of a national currency that is useful beyond faith.

A better analogy in my mind is that Bitcoin can be gold coin, and a fork is someone making cardboard coin, coloring them gold, and then calling it a type of bitcoin. Forks are completely separate from bitcoin and are worth nowhere near as m

As a crypto trader Binance is where I do business. Their PC app is phenomenal for the most part, doesn't lag out like a lot of other exchange I've used.

CME is offering bitcoin futures starting next week. Interestingly enough, S. Korea has declared bitcoin futures illegal today and S. Korea is the leading buyer of BTC. Should be a good time.

No, we don't know where the wallets are located physically. I'm not sure it is possible to brute force a wallet even if we did know where it was. A lot of people track and watch these wallets to see if anything moves, it would cau

Well - you do have to use an intermediary to exchange bitcoin for fiat, that is correct. I think the vision is that one day fiat will go away and be replaced by bitcoin and other cryptos though. Everything is quite clunky right now, and not

This is one of the growing pains of bitcoin that will have to be worked out. You can send bitcoin to addresses that nobody holds the private keys to and those coins will be gone forever. There are likely already several hundred thousand or

Near instant worldwide transfer of funds with low fees is a big one that comes to mind. I'm invested in bitcoin and it takes, on average, an hour to move around with around $10 in fees. Of course the fees are still high but I imagine t

Why not counter with ~100K USD or so? Squeeze more out of it, might settle negotations around 75K. Then you can make another similar site, maybe for books or video games. :)

I think that is the way it is framed, but as the OKCupid user base bleeds out those users are most likely turning to Tinder as it has more people. OKCupid has actually lifted some features off of Tinder which makes no sense as they're

I think it has to do with the human desire to be apart of something bigger than ourselves. Major sporting organizations (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, etc...) are very good at selling stories of players/teams and having people emotionally connec

It is still not appropriate to complain (or rather cry...) about in a professional setting, imo. How can you expect to have confidence in an executive when they put on an act like that? Nothing says "I don't know what to do"

Agreed. To the younger generation I am sure they already are considered equal to or better than HBO, they are less likely to factor in any legacy content.

I am one of those 63,000. I preordered out of sheer excitement. After spending the time to sit down and work it all out realistically, I decided that a new car could wait.
