Many short updates

Lots has been going on in the Bitcoin world lately. It's an exciting time. Likewise a lot has been going on in my life, so I haven't been reporting too much ( I just barely finished my last final ever) . Anyways, expect to see another guest post in the near future.  And if you haven't seen my last simbi post, check that out here.  Also, I guess I forgot to post this when I found it, but some bitcoin atms were for sale on ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/252834287024.

I'm also considering my first giveaway. Only if there is enough interest. So like, plus etc this post, and will probably host a giveaway.

Also, I am looking for people to sell my ebook, you will get a great commission.  Inquire at btcplus.blogspot@gmail.com or use this link: https://payhip.com/auth/register/af584f85773cc2c

Price changes and the alternative economy

I am currently in the process of hiring some guest writers. Thus far, I haven’t been successful in my attempts (In just a few hours since I wrote my first draft of this article, it seems my luck is changing, more on that in a later post!). Specifically, I wanted to address Segwit vs BU. A topic that is technical in nature, I was hoping someone else could write about it for me.  Looks like I will have to do a summary myself. Actually, Let’s leave it to better explainers than me:

This is a critical issue to bitcoin. Just the debate seems to have serious impacts to bitcoins price.  Looking at recent price trends, we can see more volatility than normal.

If this continues, some speculate that ETH will replace bitcoin.

This of course means I will have to report more on ETH, which means I would have to rename the blog and everything.

In addition, I recently found a new website that people interested in alternatives to dealing with USD might find interesting. Its called Simbi, you can trade services for other services. Now, of course, simply trading services for other services has the problem of a dual coincidence of wants, meaning, you have to want what the other party is offering and they have to want what you are offering.  To overcome this, they offer a currency called simbi.
