Bitcoin Forum

tl;dr Hi, I like Bitcoin.

Greetings good fellows, my nickname is Zealous Zero (ZZ for short).

I'm very excited about Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency that came out of the blue. I first heard about it a few years back when the faucets were giving around 0,1 BTC.
I'm glad to see that Bitcoin survived. It seems that it's worth quite a bit now (around $568, according to bitcoincharts.com) and there's even a bunch of new coins!

This proves how brilliant an invention it is and I do hope we will leave the current monetary systems in favor of digital currency.

Anyway, thanks for reading and have a good day.

Hi and welcome!

Welcome to the forum. Yes the days of a faucet dispensing 0.1 BTC an hour are long gone, but with the value increase there's still loads of opportunities to obtain valuable cryptocurrencies.

Hello man :) Yes. Bitcoin is not yet dead and never will be :) (never say never, maybe one day... in 2129)
From days when faucets were giving 0.1 BTC a lot things has changed. :)

But still -- Btc is the best! :)

Regards.

welcome to bitcointalk, ZZ  ;D

Welcome to the forum :) ..

Who knows, maybe next year we wonder how the faucets could give as much as they give now ^^

Welcome!!!!  ;D

Welcome!

I remember when 1 BTC was worth £4. I wish I hadn't resold the ones I bought then... But life goes on ;)

wow faucet pay 0.1 bitcoin ??

Hi welcome to the forum

welcome

Does it really worth now around $568, according to bitcoincharts.com? O_O

welcome to bitcointalk.

let's make this the unofficial official newbie thread

There are too many unofficial official newbie thread to make this one another one :P

welcome mate! have a nice staying here just be active because there is a lot of oppurtunity here much more higher than any faucet out there but still you can use it to cover the transaction amount when you are sending some huge amount of BTC

cheers
lets earn and learn!!

I will suggest to create a totally-new section for newbies then  :D

I guess there is already one section dedicated to beginners , or you are asking for something else..? 

Welcome, and I like bitcoin too :)

Hello! Great to be here!Doesn't this section for newbies, does it?

Yes I do suggest a separate child board for newbies to say hello, welcome etc. Maybe moderators can also impose some rules there to prevent scams.

There is one already and it is called Beginners & Help :)

If you're talking about a new child board under the current "Beginners & Help" section, I think it is something that can be considered and discussed.

Currently the size of this "Beginners & Help" section is getting big. Now it has over 453K posts but there's no child board inside it.

Welcome to these threads.

Hello and welcome double Z :)

Thank you all for your replies.

I looked for a specific "Newcomer Greetings" section but saw so many separate threads for it that I assumed it was the usual procedure. As suggested earlier, it is probably best to make a dedicated sub-thread for this kind of things.

Anyway, from the alt-coins I've seen I found Primecoins to be one of the real improvements to Bitcoin by making the mining useful and inheriting a lot of new technologies and I saw that Auroracoin is an attempt to use cryptocurrencies to help an entire country. Clearly the true value of Bitcoin is no longer the estimated market price. It's the idea in itself.

Love ya!!!, and Welcome aboard!!!!

Newbies everywhere !

Welcome to Bitcointalk. Have a good time and good luck avoiding scammers.

Another section for newbie would be 1 section too much I think :)

Tl;dr
Zealous Zero,
Why do you hope that will leave the current monetary ?

I don't think we must abandon our current currencies, just that there is much to be gained from using cryptocurrencies. If banks used them for exchanges, it would be easier to make international exchanges (just exchange an address). I also see them as a good way to store money (through cold storage), which is unaffected by banks going bankrupt.

Zealous, crypto currencies has gone a long way since you first heard about bitcoin. now, there are 2nd generation crypto currencies coming out like ripple. i suggest reading up on it.

to learn more about ripple go here:  https://xrptalk.org/forum/61-faq-and-guides/   (https://xrptalk.org/forum/61-faq-and-guides/)and here:  http://coinjoint.info/ripple-might-want-pay-attention/ (http://coinjoint.info/ripple-might-want-pay-attention/)

I had heard about Ripple and, after checking those guides I can see it'll be very important in the future.
