Digital Currency June 2017

Hey guys - just wanted to run you through some of the different online bitcoin things I do on a normal basis.

Currently the price of one bitcoin is $2711.00. I use the site http://preev.com/ to check this. I like that site because it updates every 5 seconds. You can use the site to enter different quantities of bitcoin or different USD amounts and you can get the exchange rate pretty quickly.

I normally jump over to http://www.coindesk.com/ once a day to check out what is happening in the blockchain space.

I really wish that there was a site where you could average out the prices of bitcoin across ALL platforms. Preev averages out 3 sites (Bitfinex, Bitstamp, BTC-E) and then when you go over to https://www.coinbase.com the buy price might be $50 higher than normal.

About once a week I jump over to https://blockchain.info/ just to see what the blocksize is up to now. It is kind of sad to see all the 999 kb blocks. I made a tx the other day and it took me about 30 minutes. That really isn't bad compared to some of the stories I have heard.

Saw the story about this kid who has over a million dollars in bitcoin. Very interesting. I'm sure there are a ton of millionaires out there now. Thats the cool thing about this space. Freedom and potential growth.

I like that there are a lot of bigger news sites picking up stories on bitcoin, but most of the stories are still negative. So I wanted to track them on my blog site and to track how many times bitcoin has died. http://btc2020.com/dead/

I know that is already done at a lot of sites including, https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/ but I wanted to add some of my own data in.

This goes along with my blog site where I have talked about the different parts of bitcoin - including my bitcoin 101 series

My friend started a site for tracking bitcoin transactions. Pretty cool stuff. Maybe we can find those hackers when they start moving bitcoin
