Yes, I know, I wasn't going to write any more Bit-Talk's but, well, needs must and all that...
CLUB COIN
There's some natural concern over the future of ClubCoin right now, understandably, so I have been trying to get feedback from the man that knows and finally managed to pin him down yesterday.
Here's the short and sweet of it:
Bittrex needed additional paperwork from Bitclub to continue to list ClubCoin. I don't know why and didn't ask - but have assumed some new form of compliance thing that Bittrex are doing or have to do is the reason behind it (given the political turmoil in the USA at the moment over cryptos that seems likely).
Now this is about Bittrex, I didn't bother to ask about the other two very small, insignificant exchanges that ClubCoin is listed on. I understand that delisting is also happening with those two because they are just following Bittrex.
The notification to have this new paperwork completed came to Bitclub with little time to act before the shut off or delisting date that Bittrex had already decided upon, which is, I believe 23rd March 2018.
That paperwork has now been submitted to Bittrex and is "under review" My understanding is that everything needed has been provided so now we need to wait until Bittrex give the thumbs up and then continue to list ClubCoin or relist ClubCoin (depending on how long their review takes and what they do in the interim).
Hopefully, the delisting will not happen. While all of this has been going on, some people have been panic selling ClubCoin. I have been carrying on as normal, and continuing to mine some more through my wallet. is mining working? Yes, as recently as yesterday, I received another 11 coins. Clearly, I am not of the view that ClubCoin is likely to disappear any time soon.
But I may be overly optimistic of course so, if you want to know how key Bitclub personnel feel about ClubCoin - here's a direct quote from Russ:
"I'm sad that some people have been panic selling their ClubCoin, even though they would all have made some money on it. This is a paperwork thing. Personally I have been buying all I can get, I spent 30 Bitcoin on acquiring more ClubCoin over the last couple of weeks".
So here's a question; Assuming I am not being lied to, and I don't think I am, then, would you say that maybe there is still some pretty firm confidence around ClubCoin if just one guy alone has just spent a quarter of a million dollars on acquiring some more?
Also, did you read the news bulletin BCN released 7th March? If you didn't there is a bunch of stuff in there about the new back office website coming, bug fixes needed, database rebuild etc. and this:
Debit Card Update
"Our new debit card is almost ready to launch and we think you are going to love it!
So far we've already pre-ordered 350,000 cards and we have another 500,000 on standby. These cards are all branded with the CoinPay logo.
As always we will make the card available to Mega, and Monster Builders first and then Master Builders next, followed by Pro Builders and then everyone will be able to apply for one.
This debit card is very unique and unlike anything else in the market. You will receive an app that works on both Android and iPhone that you can download to manage your balance. This is where you can load your card and check your balance very easily.
We are actually using CoinPay for the wallets and conversion of your Cryptos (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and ClubCoin) into USD. This USD value will be loaded into your virtual wallet on the app and then you will load the card from your USD virtual balance.
This app will also store in Hong Kong dollars and Euros. We have allocated many cards for the Korean and Japanese market and our partners have distribution centres all over the world to get the card in your hands quickly.
Our plan is to start offering this card to the top ranks on March 15th and then to everyone a week or so later. The other great thing about this card is once you are approved for it you will be given a virtual number to begin using the card ASAP before it arrives.
We will share more about the sign up process, fees, and cost of the card when it's ready to launch".
And, no I haven't got my card yet but it is only just 15th March to be fair. Also, let's face it, as much as we hate it, BCN are not good at meeting deadlines but (and it is a big but) they always get there in the end.
I hope you noticed that there are already 4 Cryptos included on the Coinpay system and that all 4 of those are available in one way or another through Bitclub right now.
To be safe you should get your ClubCoin of off of Bittrex, so go and download the ClubCoin wallet and transfer your ClubCoin into that.
This video blog I did a couple of years back should still be useful in helping with the ClubCoin wallet download etc.
Too many people talk to me about BCN these days with a "glass is half empty" attitude as they go off looking for better opportunities.The biggest limiting factor in your life is YOU, no ifs, no buts, YOU are your own worst enemy. If you need to know why a "glass half full" philosophy serves you better in every respect then I recommend a session with Earl Nightingale. Along with the book, "Think and Grow Rich" I would run teaching at school based on this guys' wisdom and wisdom like it.
Sadly you can't get a session with him in person (I would have paid anything to have been able to do so) because he's been dead for some years but I did find this little potted gem on You Tube (below) where he recounts one of my favourite stories made famous by one Russell Herman Conwell.
Watch/listen to the video. To me, BCN, has been very much like those acres of diamonds from the story (and I admit, even I have not made the most of it). If you want to spend the best 12 minutes you ever could to learn something of great value, then listen to this man:
