But don’t worry, other cryptos are getting better. When the scaling debate turned toxic in 2015, bitcoin was the best crypto for all use cases, how about now?

Large amounts of the treasury go unallocated every month. I suggest a new type of proposal that request a % of the unallocated funds for a treasury cycle. So if the proposal is for 25% of unallocated dash and there are are 100 dash unallocated it would get 25 dash.

Dash should decide whether unallocated treasury funds will be reclaimed in the future and how this will be done. This decision should be put to masternode votes and be implemented in the protocol. This will allow us to make better budget decisions and help make dash sound money.

I notice my fellow Dashians in person and online, spouting what I consider to be at least partial misconceptions about dash.

• Masternode operators vote wisely
• Dash solved governance
• Dash is the easy to use payments crypto

BTC Markets gave me no way to withdraw dollars & didn’t respond. This forced me trade back to bitcoin & withdraw that. This cost me $456 in trading fees!

The dash treasury system and decision markets are a perfect fit for each other. Decision markets can help masternode operators make optimal votes on whether or not to fund proposals.

Bitcoin provides pseudo-anonymity, it’s then up to bitcoiners where they want to be on the spectrum from fully anonymous to fully identified.

Make the best bitcoin governance decisions by using prediction markets to forecast the outcomes of competing causes of action & recommend what to do.

There is no compromise for major change to bitcoin that 95% of the network will agree to. The only way to make meaningful improvements is to hard-fork. Can we accept that after the hard fork there will be 2 separate networks with different rules?

“we’ve been under DDoS since the first month we launched—over three years–yay. Plus we have put real fiat dollars into our lawyers’ pockets, to defend our customers from their own government.”

I recently started the excellent full time web development bootcamp at Codeup. One of the main reasons I choose them is because I was able to pay in bitcoin!

Supermodel Derek Zoolander, form the eponymous 2001 hit comedy, revealed In an interview with Vogue that his new favorite look is called bitcoin: “it’s completely virtual, but it’s very valuable, I don’t really understand it.”

I contacted the owner of a domain that I wanted to buy and he wanted to sell. We agreed on the price so all that was left was for me to send him the money and him to send me the domain in a way neither of us could get ripped off.

BitEdge is the new name of the Bitcoin Betting Guide. Every bettor wants an edge and crypto plus this site is the best way to get one. “Bitcoin Betting Guide” was a literal description of the website whereas “BitEdge” is the essence of what we are about.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Why and how governments and the financial system are fighting crypto and who will win.

Arm chair pundits theorize proposals to denominate bitcoins in a way that will make bitcoin amounts easier to think about and express, like bits. An industry of doers have decided mBTC is the solution.
