The Bitcoin Foundation is Dead, and That’s Probably a Good Thing
It looks like the Bitcoin Foundation might finally be dead. At least, that’s according to Olivier Janssens, one of the more recent additions to the Foundation’s board of directors. Janssens took to Reddit on December 15, 2015, informing the community that he had been “forcibly removed from the Bitcoin Foundation board.” The former board member claimed that his tenure at the Foundation ended at the latest board meeting, when the board voted to remove Janssens in response to his motion to force the Foundation to draft a plan for development before attempting to raise additional funds from....

Can you say landslide? That's the word that possibly most accurately describe's last week's poll. In that poll, we asked: "PayPal integrating digital currency: A good or bad thing?" We thought we might actually have a close race between "yes" and "no", but that wasn't the case at all. In total, there were about 700 votes cast, and a whopping 636 voters (90.86 percent) said that a digital currency integration into the PayPal platform would be considered a good thing. Only 64 people said that such an integration would be bad (9.14 percent). But why in the world would such a thing be....

Like many in the digital currency community, I’m tired of the "bitcoin is dead" line that has permeated mainstream coverage of high-profile software developer Mike Hearn’s decision to quit the "failed" bitcoin experiment. Yet if we contemplate this misguided storyline, there's much to learn from it. It's up to those of us who believe this technology truly matters and that, in some shape or form, it will change the world, to shift the narrative. Let's use this opportunity to restart the public conversation. The first thing to acknowledge is that the doomsayers might be....
Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this morning. That’s another week gone in the bitcoin markets, and to be honest, it’s been a pretty dull turnout. We’ve had the odd scalp breakout, and in turn, the odd profit, and we are heading into the close net up on the markets (which can only be a good thing), but it hasn’t been anything to write home about. With any luck, we will get a bit of volume over the weekend (even better, during today’s morning session) and we will be able to get in on some sustained momentum breakouts. So, with that said, let’s get a look at what....
Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this morning. So that’s another day done, and as we noted this morning, there’s plenty of price action to discuss this evening. The bitcoin price has been super volatile over the last few weeks, which for some, will come as a welcome change from what was essentially a dead period throughout Sep-Nov. Instead of the range bound action we saw across that period, mid to late December, and carrying through into early January, has brought with it some real momentum. First, we saw price run all the way up to 1,300. That’s a level some....
