Ancient Greek philosophers learned the importance of dreams: that dreams tied into our reality somehow, but notably that we must first dream of something before we can make it reality. Man told stories and dreamed of flying to the moon, and then with dreams created for generation after generation, we achieved it. Marked by Neil Armstrong’s famous words “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Bitcoin was a dream, the want and need for change, born from a desire burning in everyone. For if what Bitcoin brings and promises was not what we all desired, then surely, for whatever our reasons, we would not be drawn to it as we are. For many of us the start […]

Charity initiatives are fine, but there is the little problem that charities need us to give them money, any kind of money, as they’re not in the business of being that fussy, and getting people to give them money is not easy. I may have a solution, and I’m going to thank that great man, […]

If there’s anything I hate as I go through the press releases and news tips here at CryptoCoinsNews, it’s the businesses, films, and crowdfunding campaigns that attempt to use cryptocurrencies as a media ploy, a chance to get a few articles here and there, simply by mentioning Bitcoin. This one takes the cake. After ten […]

What do you do with bitcoin? Why, you spend it of course! Or more precisely you pay for something or some service using it. The specific process to pay using bitcoin is called the Bitcoin Payment Protocol and it is codified in a document called BIP70.  A BIP is a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal and is one of the mechanisms used by the Bitcoin “core developers” to improve Bitcoin.  There are all sorts of BIPS on lots of great topics but let’s not get diverted. Go to: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/  and check them out yourself. Now back to BIP70 the payment protocol. The description is at: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0070.mediawiki and is the basis for the technical content  of this article. The abstract of the payment […]

Arizona's first and only bitcoin ATM has been knocked out of action by a lighting strike.

I hope to set a Bitcoin Magazine record for most succinct argument here, as my profession has an uncomfortable obsession with efficiency. I study economics because I like teaching at the University level, and because I want to improve the field. Here’s how the community can help. Coin enthusiasts often struggle at convincing economists and academics that Bitcoin is interesting, and that’s largely because the community is misusing many economic ideas. At the forefront of this is the misuse of the notion of a deflationary currency. Deflation is a decrease in the prices of goods, and yes as prices fall each unit of money is worth more in terms of how much it buys. This is not something that is […]

There are so many headlines about impending doom right now. Russia versus Ukraine, which might drag US and Europe into war. The Syria conflict continues. The Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange finally implodes taking down 850,000 bitcoins with it. Charley Shrem of BitPay under house arrest. Several governments issue warnings about bitcoin investment. The Federal Bank’s continuing to receive unrequested opinions coming, yet again, from Senator Machim; when financial baker JP Morgan ridicules it, their man Machim squawks each time he thinks he can get a headline conveniently ignoring that his allies at JP Morgan were just recently fined 15 BILLION in the last year.  Including the Bernie Madoff pyramid scheme they helped with. All the while the blockchain still toils […]
