"the real value of GOLD is the CONSENSUS part"
"BITCOIN = CONSENSUS = might become very valuable"

even with 90% chance of failure,  there is a 10% chance of success,
so everyone should invest 1-10% of portfolio and bitcoin to $100k+

1 bitcoin (pre aug 2017) = $5770 + $328 + $424 = $6.522

Hi,

This is simple:

1- Export 12 word recovery phrase from your current Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A
(which did have some BTC on August 1!)

2- Create a new Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet B

3- Transfer ALL bitcoin from Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A to B
Wait for minimal of 2 confirmations! Your wallet A is now EMPTY.

4- Create Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet at BTC.COM

5- Import the bitcoin cash with 12 word recovery phrase from wallet A (bullet 1)
(no risk for your bitcoin, since your wallet A is now empty and your bitcoin now is in wallet B)

Yep ... bitcoin mining does cost energy.
So does mining gold ...

Bitcoin still is an experiment:

The First Guy Through the Wall Always Gets Bloody....

“I know you’ve taken it in the teeth out there, but the first guy through the wall — he always gets bloody. Always. It’s the threat of not just the way of doing business, but in their minds, it’s threatening the game. But really what it’s threatening is their livelihoods.It’s threatening their jobs. It’s threatening the way that they do things. And every time that happens, whether it’s the government or a way of doing business or whatever it is, the people who are holding the reins — have their hands on the switch — they go batshit crazy. Anyone who is not tearing their team right now and rebuilding it, using your model, they’re dinosaurs”
— Boston Red Sox owner John Henry from the movie Moneyball.

The quote above is from the highly recommended movie ‘Moneyball’ about Oakland Athletics manager Billy Beane.

Quote on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/Jjf1O4jMqeM?t=2m34s

"Building Something New is easier than Changing Something Old.
So many companies are on the brink of extinction. The worse thing is that they know they are. Even with this, institutionalised by bureacracy, politics and nest feathering in order to maintain the status quo and safeguard their positions in the organisation they block change and they block innovators and change agents.
The worst of them do this in full knowledge that they will sink their own ship and sometimes contribute to sinking entire industries."
"I love this (almost entirely) true story. The reason I love it is that it exposes the real issues blocking business transformation and even industry transformation. "

Release Notes: After the very successful marketing campaign "Panama Papers", the general public is now aware of the risk to use a Trusted Third Party (TTP), which can be hacked/compromised/etc. Better is to avoid a TTP by using a trustless system, such as bitcoin.

Sell bitcoins using BTC Private Key (used) with US Dollar (USD)

Terms of trade with timeflux:
Hello I am buying old used bitcoin private keys for $2 each (paid in bitcoin)
- The btc address must have had funds in it (at least .0001) from May 1st, 2014 through May 13th 2014.
- the btc address has to have 0.0 in it now or less than .0001 ( so move your funds first is ok)
- The process takes about an hour, maybe sooner depending on blockchain confirmations
- you send me the addresses first (not the private keys yet.) so I can make sure they are valid before trade.
- If valid, then you send the private keys and I send you back $2 worth of bitcoin to whatever address you'd like. We can do a few at a time to ensure trust, $4 or $8 worth at a time etc. More if you'd like but this is safer for both of us.
- email me at chris.********@gmail.com to check availability and addresses etc.
Thanks
