Welcome to the New Beginning

When the grand experiment that is bitcoin began, the anonymous wizard desired to test two parameters- a trustless, decentralized database enjoying security enforced by the austere relentlessness of cryptography and a robust transaction system capable of sending value across the world without intermediaries. Yet the past five years years have painfully demonstrated a third missing feature: a sufficiently powerful Turing-complete scripting language. Up until this point, most innovation in advanced applications such as domain and identity registration, user-issued currencies, smart property, smart contracts, and decentralized exchange has been highly fragmented, and implementing any of these technologies has required creating an entire meta-protocol layer or even a specialized blockchain. Theoretically, however, each and every one of these innovations and more can potentially be made hundreds of times easier to implement, and easier to scale, if only there was a stronger foundational layer with a powerful scripting language for all of these protocols to build upon. And this need is what we seek to satisfy.

Ethereum is a modular, stateful, Turing-complete contract scripting system married to a blockchain and developed with a philosophy of simplicity, universal accessibility and generalization. Our goal is to provide a platform for decentralized applications - an android of the cryptocurrency world, where all efforts can share a common set of APIs, trustless interactions and no compromises. We ask for the community to join us as volunteers, developers, investors and evangelists seeking to enable a fundamentally different paradigm for the internet and the relationships it provides.

I have some questions if i may please......

firstly, i have heard conflicting projections regarding the future of ethereum but my overall instinct is that it is going to soar in the next 2-3 years. I am at a crossroads right now where i am able to cash in 8k worth of crypto and im thinking to split it between bitcoin and ethereum, I just need to decide how much of each.

What would you advise and what do you expect will happen with the market in the next 12 months and beyond? many thanks in advance. Mike.

im interested to see how many others here gamble online using bitcoin? ive found that the casinos are offering alot more in terms of bonus amounts for BTC deposits. That shows that online casinos value this currency above the almighty dollar. For those that also like a flutter using bitcoin casinos or sportsbetting can you suggest any sites other than https://www.casino-faqs.com/ or https://www.onlinecasinospins.co.uk/ im subscribed to their latest offers but to add a few more to get the bonuses is worthwhile. Ive never actually lost either. I usually deposit to trigger the bonusand then play through at lowest stakes to meet wagering then more often than not im up by the first opportunity to withdraw. Its definitely easier to make mony from bonus hunting at casinos that accept bitcoin while theyre in the current mood. Let me know your thoughts gamers! Smiley

The "You" is really cool story. As I remember, it's by Netflix. Very unusual the theme of love is revealed here, wildly. Therefore, I really liked it. But do not take it as an ordinary melodrama, it is rather a psychological thriller.

I was gonna suggest "You" aswell. I got talked into watching the first series by my girlfriend and ended up loving it. The second season was even better too, we watched the whole series the day it was released! ha
