who predict the next week possibilities it is impossible to predict the exact possibilities because know all the coins are green in crypto market so we don't predict the next week possibilities still market is fluctuating so we must wait for more then one month then only market is stable we should predict some future possibilities of bitcoin. I hope bitcoin will reach 8k to 9k USD in next week.

In my opinion next week there will be a takeoff, not a price drop, so will see))

How common is Bitcoin in Asia? Just want to know

Is it better to get BTC via mining or buying now?

It was no longer profitable early this year for mining. However, with the recent price surge, does mining becomes profitable now?

If yes, any suggestion? There are quite many cloud miner in the market.

Thanks.

Every so often I run into an article that talks about how few women are involved in this industry compared to men. My suspicion is that there are more women involved than anyone realizes; they're just not putting their gender front and center.

What do you all think?

I have used bitcoin since 2010 without any regard for drama or the price. It is the only money I need and I ain't going back. I deliberately worked on my credit score until it said "Unscoreable". Which is my official credit score, lol.  I've opted out of bank money to the extent I can.

KFC canada accepted bitcoins for a bucket of chicken for limited number of days as a part of the promotional activities of KFC and the idea was a success as all the chicken bucket has been sold out, as the name and price of  bitcoins has reached far and wide all over the world, people would definitely try out to trade products in exchange of bitcoins. As the price of bitcoins is not stable the price for the chicken bucket keeps on changing, and bitcoins was accepted in KFC for online orders. When the price of bitcoins increases people who traded the bitcoin bucket from KFC will be thinking of the price then.

Hi there,
Which of the conferences, listed here https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-events/ are worth attending?
Thanks in advance!

It means the bitcoin was officially banned in India?

If it will be true then more and more price fall will occur in bitcoin because India is the second largest populated countries and they also playing big part in crypto currency field.

So long story short, a friend owed me for a favor and since I did not have bitcoin before he asked If I would take it in BTC. I didn't mind since I can cash out whenever.
My question is.. what do you think? Its a decent chunk of money for me to just hope something keeps rising, do you think I should "let it ride" or cash out and just be happy with ~$500?

Yes that is a risk, there are some good icos around but taking into account that most of those projects are scams that are never going to become successful at all then I will probably avoid sending any kind of documentation to them this mean that you'll probably be unable to join many bounty projects out there but in my opinion your personal information is a lot more valuable than just a bunch of tokens.

Isn't it so unfair for the people who is new here? That will be struggling making such as good quality post so they could be given a merit by someone. I know all of you is having a hard time thinking what are you going to post such as good quality.

It is really hard to have a merit it is because as far as I know:
People are selfish. Even though you post a really good quality post still there is a people who won't give you a merit.
Some are alone. Like me, I don't really have much friend who would give me a free merit. I know that it is easy to have a merit with a friend that have an account of bitcointalk.

My question is. Why still need merit? We are still struggling to rank because of the merit.
