Reddit No Longer Accepts Bitcoin (fortune.com)
Reddit, one of the most active hubs of Bitcoin enthusiasts, has dropped its support for the cryptocurrency. From a report: The widely read social media site will no longer accept Bitcoin as payment for its Reddit Gold program. A person claiming to be an administrator on the site told users who were grumbling about the shift that the decision was made, in part, due to Coinbase discontinuing its Merchant Tool product. "The upcoming Coinbase change, combined with some bugs around the Bitcoin payment option that were affecting purchases for certain users, led us to remove Bitcoin as a payment option," said user "emoney04."
With one of the killer apps for bitcoin (darknetmarkets) banned on reddit now, there is little point using reddit for cryptocurencies. Back in the day I used the rising price of bitcoin to get free months of reddit gold, but it looks like reddit dosen't like money anymore. Reddit needs to be like Voat and stop being pussies when it comes to controversial content.

The world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it?
If so-called cryptocurrencies are really good innovation, why they attract so many criminals/criminal activity?
Could it really be because, all cryptocurrencies themselves are scams, and that is why they attract all kinds of criminals/criminal activity?
If so-called cryptocurrencies are really currency, why no company/store can use Bitcoin as currency anymore?
Because the price of Bitcoin proved to be extremely unstable to use as a currency?
Would the result be different, if Bitcoin replaced by any other "cryptocurrency"?
Aren't all work the same way?
Or, they are not actually virtual currency but virtual investment?
But, if they are actually investment, why we need/want them?
What would happen to world economy, if people invested in virtual investments, instead of real investments?
Or, all so-called cryptocurrencies are actually just a modified (made decentralized and paying variable interest) Ponzi Schemes?
(Price of cryptocurrencies would keep increasing in the long term (by their design), so it is equivalent of paying variable interest to all long term investors.)
As more and more people invest in cryptocurrencies, it will become harder and harder to ban their trading everywhere!
All cryptocurrencies need to be banned globally before it is too late!
Reddit no longer accepts Bitcoin was originally submitted as
Reddit no longer accepts Bitcoin from people going by the name Kim Jong Un, Or Slim Shady, Or Kim Don't Anything
FYI; Not really Interested in your so-called mod points
Fall upon your sword.
Near is The end of the Bitcoin.

Let them all die so we can have top of the line GPUs that are less than 1000 bucks and IN STOCK!
I only visit /. to laugh at the neo-Luddites.
BitCoin down (c) $650 today alone to $7200. I would imaging all those people who jumped on when it was $20K got a lesson on stock market trading.
Too bad for all the millennials who threw what little they had in retirement at this debacle. really, I feel bad for them. remember kids, real estate. Real land, real assets.
and board member and also a major investor in reddit doesn't like anonymity, so I would guess this is coming from him. He is also linked to Cambridge Analytica that provided data to Trump that he used to place one TV ad during the primary. That means he has destroyed our elections.
Criminals (the kind with money to store/transfer) aren't stupid. They wouldn't be using BitCoin if it wasn't useful to transfer and store value. What do you think the "Art Trade" is? It's a way to store/transfer large sums of value "off-the-books". Think about it? Do you REALLY believe some piece of shit painting with some paint splashed on a canvas is really worth millions of dollars? No, not it isn't. It has that "Value" do to being unique and difficult, if not impossible to counterfeit. It's value comes from that. Not the "pleasure" of the artwork. The pleasure of the artwork is worth about $2.00.
You see Jews everywhere, plotting against you? Seriously, you need to seek psychiatric help. You could be suffering from schizophrenia.
that's an interesting theory considering Peter Thiel is bullish on bitcoin: https://www.bloomberg.com/news...
It's just amazing to me how much time the media is dedicating to CA when there was, as you noted, only one TV ad placed using that data, and that wasn't even during the general election.
Apparently he's making more money on privacy violations by reddit and Facebook than on Bitcoin.
His time will come. When it does he will probably stick his chest out like Ernst Rohm did before they shot him dead.
Near is The end of the Bitcoin.
Bitcoin lives on as Bitcoin Cash. Old: BTC. New: BCH.
The fact you constantly impersonate me tells me I got to you so badly (due to your mistakes) it's eating you up & FUNNIEST PART? You do it to yourself - It's hilarious!
* You're an obsessed loon...
(See subject - 2nd time today you've done this https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=11922689&cid=56348887/ & 100's of times I've bookmarked from the past too...)
APK
P.S.=> You make me laugh - sickos like you do you know... apk
OK, here's the question. which one is the real APK?
Fuck the Jews.
I had thought APK was just another ne'er-do-well, but I couldn't agree more with today's post. Finally he has redeemed himself.
I'm boycotting all the cryptocurrencies. There is *nothing* good about them. Who has a vested interest in these things?
a) Miners, who turn electricity and heat into "money", with no productive work output to show for it
b) Speculators, who exchange these for real currencies, without investing in any useful productive efforst
c) Criminal interests, who want to be able to move money without government interference
Conversely, who do these things hurt?
a) The environment, from massive amounts of waste energy consumed and heat produced
b) Consumers & municipalities who struggle to cope with artificial demand for electricity
c) Consumers who want to buy GPUs, which are now badly overpriced
d) Scientists and researchers, due to GPU scarcity (GPUs can be used in many many more useful pursuits than coin mining)
e) Victims of crimes enabled by non-traceable currency exchange (hacking - holding your data hostage, human trafficking, kidnapping, etc.)
f) Ultimately the environment again, when all those extra GPUs wind up in landfills
I know there are a lot of miners on places like slashdot. If you're mining, or even trading in cryptocurrency, then you're a selfish asshole, and you need to stop or be stopped.
Anyone who bitches about the environment, or pretends to ascribe to social justice values, and yet still engages in commerce with crypto currencies, is nothing more than a f'n hypocrite.
Governments can't delegitimize these things fast enough for my taste.
Your software is just fine - well written, functional... I'm going to continue using the Host File Engineby mmell February 17, 2017
(APK's work), I've flat out said it's good by BronsCon February 11 2016
his hosts program is actually pretty good by xenotransplant August 10 2015
his hosts tool is actually useful for those cases in which one does indeed want to locally block stuff outright while consuming minimum system resources by alexgieg September 25 2015
I like your host file system by Karmashock September 09 2015
I do use APK's host file on all my systems at home by OrangeTide December 01 2017
I personally use a HOSTS file blocker produced from a genius called APK by 110010001000 October 27 2017
(NEED MORE? Ask!)
* It's recommended/hosted by Malwarebytes' hpHosts!
APK
P.S.=> China imitated me http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/26/boffins_supercharge_the_hosts_file_to_save_users_plagued_by_dns_outages/ ... apk
We got you again you fucking tool.

It's very easy to catch APK in a lie. But most people don't bother calling him out for his frequent lies because he get obsessed with intimidating his so-called "enemies". That you didn't sign your post or post under your username will be an excuse for APK to dismiss everything you said from being from an Anonymous Coward that can't post under his real name. He dismisses factual posts when he is unable to attack and intimidate people directly. Most of us see it in his posts, but I don't think he realizes how transparent he really is in this.
See subject: It's more than you can do & you can't STAND it (lol, & it's YOUR FAULT, not mine). You manage that & then talk bigshot.
You can't manage it, can you? Nope. You're a blowhard bigtalking bullshitter.
* What I quoted from mmell & others was said by them - no changing THAT (too bad for you). That IS what matters (& he likes + uses MY work, not your non-existent vaporware)).
APK
P.S.=> You not doing a DAMN thing of worth is what is ridiculous as you HIDE from me behind UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous punk posts, lol!... apk
See subject & FACT: Many here like & use my software quoted saying so - what 'lie' is that? You're the liar scumbag punk behind your UNIDENTIFIABLE "ne'er-do-well" no REAL SKILLS in computing pussy posts...
APK
P.S.=> No small wonder douchebags like you give people like myself that actually DO good things a hard time - it's all WEAK SCUM like you CAN manage, lol (you're no good for nothing else & not even good @ that, you waste of LIFE)... apk
I read the explanation here https://goo.gl/XaXGwQ
Wrong: Only thing you "got" is zero vs. me asking a worthless shitbag like you did better than I https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=11922751&cid=56351675/ & as far as "making yourself hard" you worthless waste of LIFE freak? Don't bother - I don't you have any "lead in your pencil" NOR would it create a better man - it would propogate MORE of "YOUR KIND" in weasel like slime in the world... lol!
APK
P.S.=> You're the fucking little PUNY tool (2") & I'd snap you in 1/2 w/ EASE I'm sure of it IF I could just get a little TWAT like you in front of me to do it... apk
