Bitcoin Forum

So!

theres is the  "introduce yourself" thread, but thats not what I want.


Tell me fellow newbies: why did you register to this forum?

for me it was two reasons. Because I see an opportunity here for making money in the future, and I also want to try and get more people into bitcoins as I strongly agree with the goals it represents.


WHY DID YOU SUBSCRIBE HERE?

I had a really funny reply to someones post, and I wanted to make people laugh, but I could not post because I'm a newbie  :'(  Today the world was a sadder place than it should have been.

Basically to get and share bitcoin information.

Banks blow dick for skittles.

Is there any place else to be?

nooo there's nothing more important for anyone to throw their time into :)

Honestly this forum is a great place to get information, provide information and just be part of the community.

If you mean why are we in Bitcoin, that's something that is all together different, and there are many reasons.

However, as they say on the Moonshiners show, if you're gonna be in Bitcoin you're gonna have to love your Bitcoin Talk.  Well I think that's what Tickle said.

I would have to start by saying First I believe everybody and there grand mother should be mining bitcoins the more people mining bitcoins the stronger the NETWORK Becomes and the more secure it will be when it comes to Elites trying to Control the Money Supply... When we create our own Proof of Work where we don't need Paper Proof that is actually Bank Notes that are backed by none other than Debt... I believe people who think that Bitcoin is unsafe or is just a big bubble need to give there head a shake sure .COM was a Bubble back in the 90,s however it is still very valuable to hold onto website names that are well know for example Apple.com Imagine being the person that bought and held on to that domain till MAC came along.

Bitcoins are only profitable if we learn to work together and stop trying to profit off other peoples losses I am here to show people that power of creating our own form of currency that can be traded for Gold and Silver and anything else we may need in the future.

I am For REAL Money not Fiat Money Thank You very much!

wow

very well said sir, I wish more people were in it for the value rather than scamming a few bucks (though the trade and mining are both important)

i'm interested in the possibility of making short term gains by investing bitcoins so I thought I'd learn a bit more about it all

Check out BTC JAM, www.btcjam.com.  Beware though there are many people that will scam you.  If you are wise you can make some good investments.  Beware of the confidence scam where someone does a serious of small loans and progressively makes bigger loans once they have your confidence.  Also, bitcoin-OTC and their web of trust is a good place to look for information about who has worked to build their reputation.

Also look at the
Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Lending

section of this forum, there is good information there as well.

I've used BTCJam, but a word of advice to all newcomers:

Be careful with your coins. Bitcoin itself is secure, but if you send your coins to somebody else, they won't come back by themselves. If you decide to lend out your BTC to people, be skeptical and cautious.

This goes for anywhere, whether it be BTCJam, the Lending subforum, Bitcoin-otc, Bitfunder, or any other service that involves you sending your BTC to someone else in return for a promise of later repayment.

Selling a few things to fellow BitCoiners, learning more about BitCoin and the BitCoin economy, getting some ideas, etc.. I lurk around for the most part ;)

Im here because its never boring here ;)
And because i learn something new every day on bitcointalk.

Great way to visually present why you are here!  ;)

Trying to figure out if ASIC is a scam

Development questions

I'm here to spread the word to my local market (Singapore) and also have vested interests in various bitcoin startups and enterprises.

Only if they don't deliver, otherwise nope I doubt it.  Until then we just have to wait.

i recently got interested in free markets and currencies by rediscovering bitcoin so started lurking. i started to love the bitcoin community as it is today, with the power to make real change. then i wanted to make a post on an bitcoin investment and now i'm here.

I wasn't wasting enough time on the internet... I've watched every Youtube video already.

Why am I here? I'm here because bitcoins are an interest to me. As a young guy, I am interested in the future of this currency. That and the fact that this seems like the place to be for all you need to know about bitcoins. :P

I am here to make projects, to expand bitcoins into larger groups of people, using the advantages bitcoins have, obviously! :-)

Here to introduce Coinster.info (http://coinster.info/), a new crypto-currency specific search engine :)

I am a closet anarchist, so therefore I really like bitcoin

I really cant get BTC out of my head :D

I'm here for the massive number of donations I'll receive in the honor of being awesome, and such.

Here's my wallet for said donations: 1Avcx5np1iRffPTPzazYVLqSvgBGbh3Tei

They're tax-deductible. By that, I mean that I won't tax you. Thanks!

I'm here to get information on Bitcoin, and because I might want to buy/sell something on here in the future.

I'm here because I need help with my  encryptedwallet password,  which after I upgraded to Windows 8  but  backed up my user folderand then exported it  the password won't work, Im  almost positive it's right because I put it into a txt  a file, I don't know what's wrong,  only have 5btc  in the wallet but an willing to split  It if anyone can solve my problem

I need to voice my opinions on one of the economy subforums. I wonder if this newbie-certification process is helping...

I registered for free BTC. :)

to get help maximizing my mining

To learn more about btc. I have bought and used btc for a bit (haha!) but never really understood the whole process. I would like to dive deeper into it.

I am here because I see a huge opportunity, and I don't mean bitcoin millionaire syndrome. I see an emerging niche market which is begging for services and products to spend their money on. People want to keep their money in bitcoins because of their deflationary properties and I think this is a great idea. I hope to make products and services which people will like to use. I see things like p2p loans as a great boon to the world economy and as a way to distance ourselves from banks which have failed us time and again.

Also, bitcoins are the super cool nerd money of my dreams.  ;D

I'm an investment banker & financier, honestly I am here because I see the opportunity to get into something "big" while it's still relatively "small" and make some money while I help contribute. Particularly, I'm here because I want to be in on the businesses being made and conducted around bitcoins (did I mention that I'm one of those mean ol' investment bankers? :P). These businesses need financing, they need to expand and develop, and I want to be here to help them and make the bitcoin network stronger.

LOL - ask my wife about it!

Mainly to learn more about the benefits of bitcoins and to buy and sell products in the marketplace after a while.

Well... I do believe Bitcoins or something really close is the future of economy, I like Bitcoins as a really democratic economy, I wish more people accept it as a form of payment, and I think this is the best place to start

one day i read an article named "how do we change people's negative mentality about bitcoin?", but was not allowed to reply because i was a noob. that's why i'm here, though i suppose i've learnt enough to buy and sell using bitcoins and making money:D

I'm here to learn more about bitcoin and how to make money online.

similar reasons, we already have an online business, accepting online payments etc and are fascinated by BTC and its potential and future and are very keen to apply it to our business model and also invest in future ideas completely BTC based. I hope to input my years in online business to help others and meet new people who can help us to make our ideas work.

thank you.

And Scam threads about Asics or 3400% APR are so hilarious tat I can't stof refreshing my tabs..... It's literally an addiction:( :)
