Nice experience and article you have been explaining about risk on bitcoin, for me it is not becoming problem because i always make investment in bitcoin with low amount and i am ready for lost it.

Maybe it is not a problem for you, but it is a problem for a lot of people as they invest quite a lot of money into Bitcoin. I personally don't, but the price fluctuation is quite scary.

Nice article. I like the tongue-in-cheek-ness of it, but I do have a question.

Why not? I mean, if one is going to doe soon, I think having bitcoin is the way to go so that their next of kin would be introduced to bitcoin (via last will & testament or something)

Well. That is part of risk on instrument of investments and i think it is not in bitcoin only, we just need managing the risk on investing. And fluctuation bitcoin or another cryptos coins, it is chance for buy low.

That's is a wrong sentence because we are already having bitcoin in this time, maybe need for getting a correcting for that but I think at the first time of bitcoin is born the human as the creator is already having the bitcoin, but this sentence very need a correcting for becoming a good sentence and can't make the another people is having a wrong perception about that.

Well we know the fluctuate is not stable anytime the price can be crash but we know the potencial of bitcoin this article is one of the good motivation for those who are working from the past for bitcoin and until now they are holding. im just newbie about bitcoin but i am planning to start my own business with bitcoin and i hope bitcoin will stay and continues to increase the value in the future.

its a fantastic article, i was blown away by the sentence, its a fantastic way to ask people to join bitcoin community, as you say bitcoin is the future currency, more user and more popular is going to bring bitcoin price higher, and the user should know that using bitcoin to do negative thing is going to ruin bitcoin and people whose living is depend on it

Good article m8. Kind a funny and has key aspects of bitcoin mentioned.
IMO you almost got carried away with gif's :) some people are on the budget with their bandwidth, ya now? ;) 
But the last paragraph is a bit poor in information, got me wonder...
Why do you think bitcoin is a bad idea in case of money laundering?
Is it the blockchain/see-through feature or something else that makes it a bad option
for this kind of activity?     

If you send your bitcoins through a mixer they cannot do anything about it, so imagine when they had confidential transaction and mimblewimble and stuff like that, it will be impossible to track bitcoins, so this is not a problem for the people want to hide money. Is it ethically correct? No, but depends on the context.

problem for a lot of people as they invest quite a lot of money into Bitcoin,the risk they are willing to invest bitcoin live in a world not everyone is happy,in investment gains and losses are already a pair in invest,if everyone would take advantage and do not want to take risks to invest,only selfish people who think like that.

HAHa this is something allot of people are telling me and i now why you dont want to be in the bitcoin industry anymore because bitcoins gives you allot of stress and that all just for a coin nha thanks.

Nice article since this is your first one. But here are a few things that can makes your bitcoin anonymous.

First use a wallet which can keep a lot of addresses and show them like they are not tied to each other.  Multibit and Ledger Wallet offer such opportunity (Electrum not or you need to tweak it in order to do this)
Second you can use a bitcoin mixer to mix your coins and make them anonymous.

I have learned from experience that if you do such operation than they can never know your real identity. Just don't send to much transactions between your wallets or else you will raise doubts and suspicions.

You're a genius ,you made the article looks kinda bad when it's actually talking about how good Bitcoin is. And you also add some jokes in it and also those memes, I think people won't easily get bored while reading it.
Keep up the good work, sir.

i have been read whole of the article and i think that was interesting and i do like these word You can carry a billion dollars worth of Bitcoin on a memory stick in your pocket. Imagine doing that with cash or even gold and very agree with those statement because only bitcoin could do that

cheers, appreciate the compliment

The article is not really my thing, though I thought it was pretty funny and it wasn't what I expected when I read the title, but I didn't feel like I really got something out of it after I read it. 
Now, why I didn't really like it, the article reads like something you'd see on Buzzfeed, I personally prefer in depth articles that are more serious and really teach me something new or offer a different perspective on issues that I think I'm familiar with.

But don't let this discourage you, it's just my personal preference.
I've seen some honest responses in this thread and most people do like it, so I hope you don't feel too bad about my criticism.

I hope I was gentle enough ;)

Very good, i enjoyed that read  ;D  some good videos in there also

The article looks good.
I also like the picture of Bitcoin on the flag on the moon.   :)

well honestly by reading the topic of this thread the op was trying to explain his hateness for bitcoin and so e will say why we should not use bitcoin but when i opened the link he has just showed all the advantages  ;D good work op changes my point of view

Haha !  :D Nice article ! I enjoyed reading it with all those illustrations too . A better way to encourage people to use Bitcoin !
Clever.  (Warning: Title Misleading)

The added content makes it so much more interesting.  ;D ... I read the whole thing from top to bottom, and I have to add one more

thing... If you resistant to change, and also not very security conscious, Bitcoin is definitely not for you.  ;) We have to remember that

Bitcoin puts the control back into your hands, and if you not security conscious, you will lose money on scams and hacks and whatever

thread are out there at the moment.  :(

Thanks for putting it all out there!  8)

thats a good one, Kprawn!
definetely going to put on the next list :)

cheers guys

The title and the article confused me a bit at first, but I guess I'm not awake enough to understand sarcasm yet today.

Nice article easily explaining about the features of bitcoin, what it is good at and what it is not good at.

Also interesting how you describe some stuff like speed of bitcoin, while everybody on here is complaining about the speed (yes it is faster than a wire transfer, but we got used to fast confirms that start to take longer and longer now).

nice article, however criminal, drug dealers, scamers and others still using bitcoin untill this day , as we know that bitcoin is pseudonymous which is traceable but in other hand there are many way to make your transaction is more anonymous, like mixing your coin, generating new address for every new transaction and others, Anyways this one is too funny "If you like paying fees then you definitely will not like Bitcoin"

Nice article and the list you mentioned are really the reasons why I'm using bitcoin. The moment I understand what bitcoin is all about then I know that it would be one of the key to achieve my goals. I'm in for bitcoin for the long term and though there will be up and down of its value due to unforeseen events, I believe that it will continue to rise in due time. Base on the news, there are many major investors who have seen the potential of bitcoin and so they diversify their investments and include bitcoin in it. If they believe in bitcoin then I should believe in it too because for sure they have carefully analyze where they will put their money and where there is potential profit so I should invest in it too.

It depends on your business if you are allowed to take risk and result (positive or negative).
If your business is not ready for risk, then you can convert to FIAT instantly and there u go, no risk suddenly.

nicely done mate its good to know those info that you provided from your article it helps me to learn more about this investment that i entered, good luck to you mate.

I`m not going to click that link. ;D

Why don`t you just write your article here,instead of redirecting traffic to your blog.

Using bitcoin is always risky, but there is profit to be made.

If u like seein ur currency depreciate over time

Bitcoin is not for u ???

Nice little trick article from a Fintech scammer

I really enjoyed reading it and it made me chuckle. It was very clever the way you used the negative title to grab attention to it. So that's a pretty good blogging technique to get a big reading audience to your blog. I liked the first one, that was funny, but we don't always know when we will croak lol.

what do you mean little trick?

why did you use Autumn's photo as your profile pic? god bless her soul, gone too soon :(

Good article, but doesn't discuss the topic in the subject, which is:


This article isn't about working in the bitcoin industry. This article is just about whether you should use bitcoin, and it's for newbies anyway!

Great article for newbies but doesn't say a thing about whether any of us experienced folks should or should not work in the bitcoin industry.
