Bitcoin Forum

listen up i want this thing to be mainstream before i get somekind of dementia or cancer or parkinsons can you hurry up and make this thing go global before i become a wrinkley old man that will have to depend on the state for care and you all know how "care" is provided on the taxpayer dime... coverups, excuses, selfish staff, all for 1 and 1 for all, dehydration, malutrition, doctor shipmans, sociopaths, diseased hosptials, chav patients, druggies n thugs etc 

Just stop for a second think about this... you're in a taxpayer hospital completely dehydrated you can't speak but there is a glass of water next to you you can't move you can't speak the only way to survive is to depend on someone else to feed u that drink the helplessness the agony you won't know what it feels like until it happens to you... NO ONE IS INVINICBLE eventually our days will be numbered the time for preparation is now.

when i become a wrinkley old man the bitcoin i hath accumlated will be more than enough to pay for private care the vermin public are the reason i have to wait 2 years for an operation but privately can be done in a week or so listen up....

get all the bitcoin you can bitcoin will save your life in the future armen

Well, it will take some more time before we find beneficial ways to make this currency a substantial way of living.

I somehow agree to this statement, due to the fact that the only way for bitcoin is to go up or down, in which the former seems to be more plausible than the latter, given that the infrastructures themselves are set within bitcoin. If in time I also become a wrinkly-old man with bitcoins and I have accumulated a decent stack when I was a youngster, I'd be glad to pay everything I need with bitcoin--well everyone of us would be glad too.

What have you done to contribute to Bitcoin success except waiting that Bitcoin gets big so you can get rich??

Because of the people like you, I wouldn't even care if Bitcoin never succeeds. Posts like this don't help anyone mate so you better keep quiet next time!

Aw....


Try not to insult OP, please. It took me 4 long weeks to come up with my way of contributing to the success of bitcoins. An idea takes time. Sometimes, people don't have time.

He or she would soon realize that as Bitcoin early adopters (it is just six years old; we're consider as early adopters), he or she need to do something to make Bitcoin success. Like codishmumu, it took me a few months before I decide to start a website based on Bitcoin. To be honest, contributing a topic on Bitcointalk already make a difference.

Truth, right there. In 2013 vast numbers of users were involved in projects to push forward the bitcoin economy. Now we have vast numbers of freeloaders who think they will get rich from ass sitting. The price has adjusted accordingly. Sorry, but bitcoin offers no free lunch.

you just better hope some sociopath care home worker doesn't bully your private keys out of you. or any of the other myriad  scams and rip-offs that befall the weak and elderly in our sick society, btc or not... its best to try and nurture caring relationships, have children. there was a time when people actually took care of their elderly loved ones.

Bitcoin should rather be used as a "second option" to your first plan. Not as plan A .... We have no idea, if this will be successful or not. If you put all your eggs in the Bitcoin basket, you

take too much risk for your future. I still have other investments other than Bitcoin and I save fiat for sudden emergencies, where they only accept cash as payment.

It would be great if it turns out to be my best investment, but I am not willing to bank on it.  ::)

3 years ago, if I asked a random person on the street if they had heard of bitcoin, chances are they would say no. Now most have heard of bitcoin, but more than likely it has been something negative. It will be hard to get past that if we ever do.

First, who uses the word "hath". Seriously?

Second, I kind of agree with you. Any type of savings or accumulation of wealth can save you from the abuses of public health care. If you're relying on the kindness of others or the government for your wellbeing when you get old you're going to be disappointed. Saving btc can be one of those ways you protect yourself in the future but I suggest you don't put all your eggs in one basket. A diversified portfolio will always be the way to go.

This dude has been trolling the forums for ages now. This is like the 40th incarnation of him that I've had to ignore because he uses a new account for every thread.

Don't be too hard on him. From what I see lately, if we get rid of all the trolls and sig campaigners we won't have much of a forum left. lol

I don't care if he trolls all day long! I just wish he would do it on the same account so I don't have to ignore him again, and again, and again, and again, and again...

Guys, come on. I don't feel it's a troll. Let's just try to be nice here. I think this is just somebody who's frustrated.

It's always about you, isn't it Holliday? lol

In the last year or so there have been so few posters making decent threads I've started screwing with people in off topic just to have something to keep me active.

I don't ignore trolls anymore. I used to go around putting everyone on ignore that seemed to just be screwing people, never participated in serious debates or presented any real suggestions for any topic. That made me ignore trolls like iCEBREAKER and scammers like TerryTibbs. I couldn't have been more wrong about TerryTibbs and I enjoy reading iCEBREAKERS contributions now. Be careful about ignoring too many people. You might miss out on something good.

A few of his threads:

No. I already know how Bitcoin works. I don't need to use this place as a resource. People who might actually be interested in learning about Bitcoin have to wade through a lot of shit to get any decent info.


I'm simply talking about this specific troll. ;) (Although I do ignore sig ads automatically just because the chances of getting anything valuable from them is so slim that it's worth possibly missing out.)

How do you know it's the same person?

They're all different usernames.

It is true, no one cares... but one can find people with same interests  ;D

No, Holliday is right. It's the same person. We have lots of "who's Atlas" experience to draw from. lol

and why anyone want someone to care about?

you know that bitcoin is not a person right? .. bitcoin can only grow if YOU help it. so dont sit back and wait for others to grow bitcoin.. do YOUR part too

We just need the price to go up, that's all. Of course, even if you become a millonaire in 10 years holding 10 Bitcoins, I see problems in trying to cash out all that money if you want to avoid taxes, and it seems OP want's to do just that. I don't think it's possible without becoming insane trying to do tons and tons of IRL Local Bitcoin transactions in small batches.

A high-valued currency without something to spend it on makes nonsense. Besides, if in case bitcoin went to millions of $ per coin, it will be due to hyperinflation of some sort if it's done within just a couple of years. Building infrastructures around and within bitcoin is what we need, and we also need the adoption from the masses which will drive the coin forward.

Well I don't mind paying high taxes if in 10 years I would be a Bitcoin millonaire, it would be nice to avoid them of course. And if Bitcoin is scarce and demanded in the near future I think it would be much easier to convert it to fiat or whatever goods/currency you need, just like gold or silver now.

But maybe there's no need, we'll all be just wealthy in Bitcoin and we could buy whatever we want with it.

It's a nice thing to dream about, but I don't think it's very logical. A more probable situation is that in ten years Bitcoin price would be anywhere around $0-10.000 USD. No more, no less  :-\

Bitcoin needs to find a proper niche where it is actually used not spectulated with (right now the only market is the illegal one if we are honest). This niche could be either for paying for small services/subscriptions/apps/entertainment or for larger transactions like buying real estate, cars, etc. As the fees are so low and there's no middle men the last one also makes sense.

However for that to happen every government will be all over it and be the first in line to collect taxes, so I really don't know what's the future for Bitcoin. It's ten times easier to pay with credit cards or paypal than it is to use Bitcoin for common people. Bitcoin is just a new way of thinking and fresh technology but mainstream implementation is still very unclear.

How many people around us know or use  Bitcoin ? We still need to do our contribution to spread the word and create more and more awareness and choose easy and simple ways to explain the people around us.I will say more we need to talk physically than on online platforms as there is already a good number of people who are working for Bitcoin's success.Bitcoin is still in early stages and it needs more and more adoption which can make it successful.

          Don't talk shite.
  The NHS is  the envy of the world.
 
 
   

It is true, humans are selfish by nature. Even family members end up hating eachother.

It is better to think by yourself for you and put part some money for rainy days.Don't trust anyone as no one cares of others.It is good to plan for next ten years at least and according to that put money in as many different types of programs ie.Bitcoin,Banks.Gold,Property and other things as possible to not remain without money in some bad scenario.If you have high expectations from Bitcoin then contribute to its success.

Calm down, OP. Perfection can't be rushed.

That was a real off the wall post by OP.

You forgot to include one of his recent threads from a couple weeks ago:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1184641.0

You could put your effort into building reputation of non-troll profiles and contributing meaningfully to discussions in different sections of the forum.  Ask questions, contribute to threads, learn, and you can start profiting from crypto-currencies and building up a stash.

If you build up a long post history and reputation on here, you can even get paid to troll, like icebreaker for example.

I've also seen "hero member" profiles sell for up to 1 btc on here.  

Building up a good reputation with normal posts is a better use of energy than creating ~10 fresh accounts to troll with.

This forum is similar to forums like thevault.bz, the people who are serious active participants with good reputations, are usually making good money.

I have not been forgotten!

thanks for the kind words

maybe we will hit 0 USD. better you are finding a better job now  :P

in 1997 the internets niche was porn.
in 2015 the internet is communication, advertising, information, media, shopping and entertainment.... and porn.

in the 1800's bank notes niche was travellers. people going from one campsite to another without having to lug around buckets of gold and handing the bank not  to the bank in the new site to swap back to usable coins.
in 2015 bank notes are used to buy chewinggum, pepsi, wages, anything. near or far.

in 1950's cards were used for large purchases where people didnt want to lug around heaps of bank notes.
in 2015 cards are used for everything

in 2009 Bitcoin was unknown and only used by expert programmers and system engineers. {testing phase}
in 2015 banks have started to copy cat and hijack it, and 250 000+ merchants accept it as a payment option. Blockchain technology are seen as one of the most innovative

technologies of the century. Let's not down play the progress Bitcoin has made in only 6 years... It's a revolution and a miracle.

OP's words are clear reason why bitcoin price stays stagnant. He was into it to get rich quickly.
But bitcoin is more than that. Bitcoin will be future, dear OP. You must be proud to join future this early.

the topic is no where related why you want anyone to care about you, if you are rich and famous then everyone will care about you, Bitcoin is now becoming more advanced and used by many more persons and on coming days you can see a new revolution of online crypto currency.

Not everybody can be involved in a project. There are people who have normal jobs and work the whole day but they are also interested in Bitcoin. Not everybody here in this space is a tech geek, coder or web developer. I'm one of them.
But what I do is talk about Bitcoin and show to people how it works and what it's benefits are. But this isn't something I could go full time or pay my bills with.

A friend of mine said you couldn't have children to take care of you in your old age, because that is selfish. A child is not an investment. A child is not life support. A child is not an ATM. A child is not a slave to your wishes.

A child is a person.

The op wants to be rich like most people and is expressing himself.   I dig it.

Still, hoping and begging is not that effective.  Best to find alternative ways
To be rich in case the bitcoin route doesn't pan out.

yes,i agree with you in some reason. bitcoin save my life,even i mre believe that my god have save me early. but bitcoin really help me..

We need to think beyond that level, the fact is you are going to die in a bad way whatever happens most likely.  If we divide society resources mainly by whos rich and whos not we'll always have problems. 

I agree a child is a person. A child is  an investment. A child is life support. When the child is young, I help him/her to bring him/her up. When I am old, I expect help from him. If not, there is no point of having child. A child is not just a product of sexual pleasure.
We are equal. A child is not a slave to my wishes.

@TheGr33k
Ya your "friend" is your Girlfriend here that is banned that you are posting for on her behalf.
You know the person that replied to this topic first.. "codishmumu"
You know the one you were trying to sell sweaters for a few days ago in Off Topic ?
I know that because codishmumu created a topic saying that word for word (what you just said basically)
Seems odd you are repeating her posts..

@OP
As much as i feel ya and get your sentiment i am sad to say your wasting your time.
What is the problem ?
Bitcoin was designed to be a commodity not a currency so it will always stifle it's own adoption.
A good example of what i am saying is illustrated rather clearly at www.washingtonpost.com
I found the following link when searching Google with the keywords "bitcoin is a ponzi scheme"
It was the first search result.
Bitcoin isn’t the future of money — it’s either a Ponzi scheme or a pyramid scheme (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/06/08/bitcoin-isnt-the-future-of-money-its-either-a-ponzi-scheme-or-a-pyramid-scheme/)

Honestly I agree with OP and if you get past his initial angry and bad grammar I think anyone should do. Bitcoin can save us all from the incoming total failure of the state and social healthcare, therefore, only the wealthy will be able to get good services. It sucks but unless things change we are heading towards such scenario. Bitcoin can make us all millionaires in 10 years if this is a success, but please no more than 10 years.

People will care about you as long as you don't make it seem as if you don't care about other people, and happen to be a useful member to society.

when i read different views of the people i can understand that bitcoin will take time but u can't say that bitcoin will lost, it will takes time it is a future currency.

But doesn't it depend on the project? I have frequently done the things on this list and it has worked. I have convinced several local places and I now shop with them. 
1. Ask a locally owned outlet to use bitcoin and help them set it up. All you have to do is show them a service like BitPay.
2. Write an email to a website and tell them you will be a customer if they take bitcoin.
3. Create a fun contest with a $20 bitcoin prize.
4. Volunteer to give a presentation about bitcoin.
5. Have some bitcoin stickers or cards printed up and distribute them.
6. Set up a friends phone with a wallet and give them a bucks worth to play and learn.

damn that was a long sentence. that's quite a conspiracy.

You make it all sound so easy. Maybe you should go to Satoshi and tell him all your ideas to make Bitcoin mainstream.

I agree, if no one will care for you pay them to ha

Fuck those taxpayer hospitals, OP! Filthy charity wards, is what I call them!
Grow a pair & die in the gutter, like a man!

Note:  this thread bumped by Yobit campaigner, and I have to agree that the quality of new topics leaves a lot to be desired.

So many trolls trolled this thread, codishmumu, Gr33k, etc.  Wow, don't see them anymore.  And no one cares about you, so appropriate to bitcointalk.

It will take a long time before we can find possible things that can benefit us so i think that this question needs a little more thinking and doesn't solve any of our problems
