Hello everyone, I've been away from this forum for almost half a year now and I didn't pay attention to BTC for that time too. Has anything changed, except the price that is? Any good news, bad news concerning the commercialism of btc?
You joined the forum a week ago so it's a bit hard to believe you had a presence 18 months ago. Why didn't you join back then?
Nothing's changed...see you in 2017.
Maybe he was just lurking and hasn't registered.
Yes, the biggest news is a lot of drama about the increase of the block size, possible XT fork that might give us 2 Bitcoins in the near future. Besides that, some people were arrested, some were sentenced to jail sentences (Ross Ulbricht), no major exchange hacks (which is pretty impossible to believe).
At the same time, Bitcoin adoption continues, more and more companies started accepting Bitcoin, mostly through Bitpay though, and yes, we had record investment of VC money this year, this is very encouraging.
Welcome back!
