How To Create A Bitcoin Wallet and Fund It

Bitcoin is now accepted on so many useful sites for payments like Fiverr.com, Overstock.com, TigerDirect.com and so on. Because most of these sites ask for PayPal or Credit Card, users from countries banned by PayPal can now use Bitcoin to pay them without those companies rejecting their payments.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks; managing transactions and the issuing of Bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system.
You can download Bitcoin software from https://Bitcoin.orgbut that will consume lots internet bandwidth to update to the latest transaction.
So, as e-payment experts, we will recommend you use third-party wallet like Coinbase.com, Bitgo.com, Blockchain.info, Btc-e.com, etc. to avoid the high bandwidth consumption of Bitcoin software during updates.

How To Fund Your Bitcoin Account
User A can send Bitcoin to User B through his or her email address registered on Coinbase provided both are using Coinbase.
However, if User A is using Bitcoin software or another third-party Bitcoin Wallet like Bitgo.com, he cannot send Bitcoin using email address to User B who is a Coinbase member. S/he has to use Bitcoin address instead. Bitcoin address is like this: 1GmYPaWgDbRNJLudNS9ox9nExDEpEvm9yH
So, in Coinbase, to get your Bitcoin Address or Account Number as case maybe for funding, do login to your account, click on Settings tab, then on Bitcoin Addresses tab and you will see it.
You can also, create more Bitcoin Addresses by clicking on + Create New Address tab. This is the address you give to exchangers like us, friends, clients, etc to fund. But if the exchanger or friends or clients uses Coinbase, just give them the email address you registered on their site. It will go through.

Manchester Citymidfielder Yaya Toure was subjected to noises that sounded like monkey chanting as his side faced CSKA Moscow in Russia on Wednesday. City have confirmed that they intend to submit an official complaint to UEFA over the alleged abuse, and a club official even spoke to the match delegate from the organisation after the match at the Arena Khimki with a written complaint to follow. Toure spoke of his sadness over the matter at the end of the game after he appeared to point to referee Ovidiu Hategan to identify specific sections of the CSKA supporters who were allegedly abusing him. The midfielder has been widely commended for his inspirational and dignified response to the incidents and in reporting what happened via social media and interviews. The Ivory Coast international told Sky Sports: "It is quite disappointing when you're talking about people continuing to do that. "It is unbelievable and very sad on my part. "I think UEFA need to do something strong. It would be nice if we could stop that. "Some of the songs today were quite stupid and I think UEFA has to do the work. "Every time we say something it continues, something has to be done to stop it." The papers were full of praise for the way that the City star reactedto the reported abuse and spoke with such 'strength' and 'class' after the match. Toure Tweeted after the match: "Thank you for your support! Hate or racism cannot affect me when so many people are showing me love and support on a daily basis! "I believe in football institutions, I know decision makers will take their responsibilties and show A RED CARD TO RACISM." Thank you for your support! Hate or racism cannot affect me when so many people are showing me love and support on a daily basis! — yaya toure (@Toure_yaya42) October 23, 2013 I believe in football institutions, I know decision makers will take their responsibilties and show A RED CARD TO RACISM — yaya toure (@Toure_yaya42) October 23, 2013 There was a great deal of support for Toure on social media with many fans keen to say how impressed they were with his conduct throughout. Yaya Toure extremely dignified, mature & sensible talking about racist chants. Class act — Alex Kunawicz (@AlexKunawicz) October 23, 2013 Dignified response from Yaya Toure in the face of blatant racism from CSKA fans, calling it 'disappointing'! Disgusting is more appropriate! — Michael McCarthy (@mkmccarthy1989) October 23, 2013 The incident comes 18 months after Porto were fined £16,700 by UEFA after their fans racially abused Mario Balotelli during a Europa League clash against City in February 2012. City also lodged an official complaint on that occasion, when monkey-chanting had been prolonged and widespread. Controversially, City were later fined £24,740 for delaying the kick-off of the second half of that same game by one minute. All eyes will now be on UEFA to see if they react strongly enough to this most recent episode.

Why Texas is labeled Canada on this map of the ‘ridiculously large’ U.S. economy

Much has been made of the size of California’s massive economy, but it’s hard to truly wrap one’s brain around its place on the global stage. That’s where Mark Perry comes in. The University of Michigan economics and finance professor put it in perspective with one eye-popping statistic, in particular: California’s gross domestic product of $2.75 trillion in 2017 basically matches that of the U.K., and it achieves this with 19.3 million workers, vs. Great Britain’s 33.8 million. “Amazingly, it required a labor force 75% larger (and 14.5 million more people) in the U.K. to produce the same economic output last year as California!” Perry wrote . “That’s a testament to the superior, world-class productivity of the American worker.” But California isn’t the only state that towers over much of the world as an economic engine. Perry illustrated the overall dominance by matching the GDP for each state in 2017 to a foreign country with a comparable nominal GDP: Other notable examp...

Xapo: Where Billionaires Store Their Keys

Argentine entrepreneur Wences Casares spent years trying to convince Silicon Valley millionaires and billionaires that Bitcoin was the global currency of the future, that they needed to buy some, and that he’s the man to safeguard it. His startup, Xapo, has built a network of underground vaults on five continents, including one in a decommissioned Swiss military bunker. “Everyone who isn’t keeping keys themselves is keeping them with Xapo,” said Ryan Radloff of CoinShares, which has more than $500 million of Bitcoin stored at Xapo. “You couldn’t pay me to keep it with a bank.” Xapo’s billionaire backers include LinkedIn Corp. co-founder Reid Hoffman and former Wall Street trader Mike Novogratz, who’s in the process of setting up his own cryptocurrency merchant bank. Their bet is that Bitcoin is here to stay, and so is its biggest scourge, theft. The first and most important rule of owning Bitcoin is to securely keep your private key — the code that lets you spend your coins....
