Access. For most people, it seems hard to get a few thousand sats and easier to use their credt card to buy coffee.
another thing to think about is that when bitcoin will be more accessible to buy because more adopted, the actual value of it, will still put a big obstacle to acquire many bitcoin and then use it, so is not even an adoption problem is just about being lazy for many
You really can't call that lazy, since people aren't really educated enough on this subject. Now how do you educate one who does not want to be educated?
You can't. If they don't want to learn about something they wont, but for the most part the majority of people don't really have much use for bitcoin either now or in the future. I think the only way they might get interested is if it can be spent many places worldwide then people might have some instead of buying euros or dollars when they go traveling etc or if the price continues to rise. If the money naturally earns interest then that would be a big selling point but if it's fluctuating or falling it isn't very good for bitcoin as a currency.
"A group of starry-eyed applicants are auditioned to undergo intensive training in Russia before being flown 100 kilometers up into near space. Here, they will spend up to five days orbiting the Earth, conducting experiments and quite literally watching the world go by - or will they? Unbeknown to them, they won't be in space at all... They won't even be in Russia. They'll actually be in a disused military base at a secret location somewhere in the UK, possibly the most audacious, complicated and ambitious practical joke in television history." -- Written by Anonymous
I remember watching that. It was pretty interesting though I'm not sure if it was fake or not (ie the people knew it was a hoax). I find it hard to believe people would be that gullible or willing to go into space.

Another Euro game for today? Netherlands v Czech Republic?
Are we could go a level higher. What if it was Satoshi pretending to be Dorian pretending to be Satoshi pretending to be Dorian?
I called that Satoshiception.
On a serious note I think Satoshi was Hal Finney. Dorian is his neighbor, that's not a coincidence.
Of course it's a coincidence. Coincidences can happen you know. And he wasn't literally his neighbor but they lived relatively close. I'm sure you could find many others who live close too but that doesn't make them bitcoin satoshi.

Re: What are possible scenarios for the block halving?
What things could happen with the btc price when the block halving occurs? will the price go down due to miners cashing out? or will the block chain slow down due to miners shutting off their mining equipment? will the price go up because of less daily bitcoin created? what will likely happen?
Miners cash out? Miners always cash out that how they make their money. One of only two things will likely happen: either nothing or the price will rise. Can't see any reason why it would go down.
Whats everyone's thoughts on the recent reporting that marijuana dispensaries are beginning to accept bitcoins and take advantage of its usefulness.
Sources for this? I haven't heard of any definitely accepting it but it's something I think they should do. Hopefully they accept bitcoin over all the cannabis crapcoins etc.

Different sites show you different data. For most I guess you just have to trust that the data or sign ups have been rightfully credited. I remember on Primedice you could see who signed up through your ref link and how much they had wagered and your commision from that but they removed it.
download tinder right this second. You are putting the P on a pedestal man. Like Nike said, just do it.
If you don't have much confidence or can't take a good selfie (or don't look very good lol) tinder wont be that great. Could be even more demoralizing if he doesn't get any matches. I think socializing would be better and give him more confidence.
Colombia are a good team but Brazil will win tonight, Neymar is an amazing player who can destroy anybody but don't forget about Firmino & Coutinho, two very talented players who will be stars of the game in the next few years, tryst me. Brazil will win this match by 1 or 2 goals.
I think it'll be close. Brazil haven't been playing their best, but I think they will take it 2-1. Could see a 1-1 draw though. Antyone got any thoughts on the Peru v Venezuela game? Think that could be a draw too.
Sorry mate I don't know enough about Peru or Venezuela be confident enough on giving you a prediction. Just looked for you - Venezuela have a current FIFA World Ranking of 72 & Peru are ranked 61 by FIFA so judging by that there isn't much to split them. I won't be betting on that game Here are the FIFA World Rankings if anybody is interested - http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/index.html
I'd go for a draw with them two. They seem pretty evenly matched to me. I'd say 3-1 to Brazil and 1-1 on the Peru game.

I guess you have to look at the pros and cons of it. I'm sure the instance of rape are higher in prisons where they're not allowed conjigal rights, plus it will be easier to sneak contraband into the prison whilst they're left in a room together.
can't wait until October for the Flash and Arrow..
When is the next episode of Mr Robot airing. I loved the first episode. My only complaint is the name of the show is a bit crap. Not really interesting or attention grabbing. I actually didn't even bother checking it out when I first saw it until I read a review after.
