I work in the development office of a non-profit organization. Yesterday I was walking past a colleague's office where she was incredulously asking another colleague "I mean, do we really want to accept bitcoin?" I didn't catch the context, but I presume this means that some potential funder has offered to make a donation in bitcoin.

Fancy winning a Bitcoin? On Friday 22 December, it's Andy Bush's Bitcoin Bonanza!In a UK radio first, Andy is giving away an actual bitcoin if you can tell what 'bit' of a song he's playing and it's all thanks to Lottoland.

Bitcoin has not lost value. One bitcoin is still one bitcoin. This is just a temporary adjustment in the exchange rate to obsolete fiat currencies. Calm down.— Donald Hughes (@getfiscal) December 22, 2017

a derivative of bitcoin intended to address the technical failings of the original, it was pitched as "a hard fork" and ppl who had their bitcoins in participating exchanges were granted gratis bitcoin cash at a 1:1 ratio of their bitcoin holdings iirc

Its ok guys. Totally normal. I have a healthy investment attitude.
Bitcoin has "crashed" 30% SIX TIMES in 2017. Each "crash" has been followed by an increase of: 76%, 237%, 183%, 165%, 152%. Bitcoin takes 7 steps forward, 2 steps back, 7 steps forward, 2 steps back. Every 2 steps back is heralded as the end of #bitcoin. Relax! pic.twitter.com/bV5ZFeucTp— Robert Reid (@robertreidmd) December 22, 2017

i think the reasoning was if they made something that was better technically for mining and transactions and pegged it to bitcoin then u ppl cld switch over to the technically superior platform without any disruption to the bitcoin price but then the price wasnt really pegged to bitcoin and it crashed idk, was prob just some arbitrage scam from the beginning xp

don't think that ~i'm from the internet and i'm here to help~ Reid dude is wrong tbh. a lot of early adapters are prob cashing out. except now it's in the mainstream limelight. more fools than ever will still buy, especially buy after this 'crash'.

the real reckoning with bitcoins price will only happen when market manipulation is sorted out, a big part if not all of bitcoins ~value~ is currently being driven by very obviously illegal techniques (read up on tethers for instance) ppl are going to jail for sure, but it wont stop until the exchanges etc are legitimately regulated/run by reputable companies, which is pretty funny when u think abt bitcoins charter to create a new fair financial system

the bitcoin blockchain has consumed almost a billion dollars worth of electricity to hash an amount of data equivalent to about a sixth of what I get for my ten dollar a month dropbox subscription.

otm re the blockchains irrevocability being marketed as a feature when its a bug, tho arguing that banking costs are just fair payment for services rendered is dumb, but of course the problems with the banks is political not technological in nature
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 December 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
there’s no reason to not have a chain of blockchains with significantly fewer entries, not requiring lots of computational power to track stuff. there are other possibilities but it’s a good argument why it’s a good tech for tracking assets but really bad for a single, scarcity-based value system
