Hi Bitcoiners!I’m back with the tenth monthly Bitcoin news recap. Last month I couldn’t post as I was travelling a lot and missed a few days of news. Normally seen that's not a problem, but Reddit decided to discontinue historical searches for specific timeframes. I know, I was sad too.Anyways for those unfamiliar with the recaps, each day I pick out the most popular/relevant/interesting stories in r/bitcoin and save them. At the end of the month I release them in one batch, to give you a quick (but not necessarily the best) overview of what happened in bitcoin over the past month.Now I know the price went absolutely 🥜 this month, but there’s a lot more going on in the space than that!You can see recaps of the previous months on Bitcoinsnippets.comA recap of Bitcoin in October 201701: Japan endorses 11 cryptocurrency exchanges & The IMF Managing Director believes cryptocurrencies have a future02: Charlie Lee shares how Coinbase and other Bitcoin exchanges will likely handle the SegWit2x hardfork & Goldman Sachs is considering a new trading operation dedicated to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies03: The list of companies that dropped out of the SegWit2x agreement keeps growing, while nobody new has joined the agreement & The Goldman Sachs CEO is still thinking about Bitcoin, like the rest of us04: A large Japanese energy supplier adds bitcoin payments with a discount & SegWit2x nodes get a feature to disguise themselves to not get banned by the Bitcoin network for breaking consensus05: An interesting discussion on the SegWit2x attack on Bitcoin with RSK backing out if no replay protection is added06: Bitcoin.org warns users about the SegWit2x contentious hardfork07: A shoutout to Andreas Antonopoulos for all his informative Bitcoin videos08: People are grateful for SegWit2x because it proves that Bitcoin cannot be taken over by a group of corporate insiders, even with a majority of hash power09: SegWit adoption hits 10% per block without any of the major businesses using it10: B2X removes its replay-protection to safely split off, due to a vulnerability found by Core developers11: Vladimir Putin weighs in on how the financial sector in Russia should deal with cryptocurrencies12: Bitcoin rises to a new all-time-high of over $5300 & F2Pool stops signaling for SegWit2x & The Seoul Bitcoin meetup of 1600 members speaks out against SegWit2x13: Bitcoin rises to a new all-time-high of over $5800 & BitMEX exchange announces it cannot support SegWit2x as it has no replay protection, putting customer funds at risk14: Julian Assange from Wikileaks thanks governments for proving one of Bitcoin’s use cases early on15: SegWit transactions are now used for ~13% of transactions without any of the major businesses pushing for scaling adopting it16: Satoshi Nakamoto on Bitcoin’s positive feedback loop back in 200917: Bitcoin Core code was so thoroughly tested that the developers discovered a bug in OpenSSL, used in 35% of all websites & r/bitcoin is gaining 2000 new subscribers daily18: Bitcoin is the 59th most popular article on Wikipedia19: Bitmain, the largest mining equipment manufacturer, suffers a database leak & Bitcoin now has over 7000 full Bitcoin Core nodes20: Bitcoin rises to a new all-time-high of over $6000 and a market cap of over $100B21: SegWit transactions are now used for ~17% of all transactions without any of the major business es pushing for scaling adopting it & A simple reminder on the effects of increasing the blocksize on Bitcoin’s users and why we must scale carefully22: An infographic on how a Bitcoin transaction works23: Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak on Bitcoin24: Coinbase will continue to call the original Bitcoin chain Bitcoin, and the New York Agreement Bitcoin2x/B2x25: Coinbase wins award for most confusing communication regarding a contentious fork26: Peter Thiel says people are underestimating the great potential of bitcoin as digital gold & Bobby Lee, CEO of BTCC exposes China’s failed plan to drop the Bitcoin price and discourage adoption27: An increasing list of businesses and Bitcoin communities announce their rejection of SegWit2x & BitMEX research shows that the pools arguing most vigorously for larger blocks unsurprisingly mine the smallest blocks on average28: Two discussions about the implications of changing Bitcoin’s hashing algorithm to deal with miner centralisation: Discussion pro-PoW change & Discussion anti-PoW change29: Bitcoin rises to a new all-time-high of over $6300 & ](http://bit.ly/2z9oNeh)[People share their Bitcoin Halloween costumes30: Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper 9 years ago & Another attempt from the US congress to regulate bitcoin users & Blockstream launches a new smart contract language called Simplicity31: Another reminder why Bitcoin needs a limited supply and why Central banking is unsustainableThanks everyone for fighting the good fight for Bitcoin these past few months.
