Bitcoin Forum

Half a year ago, every day, I was Bitcoining 8 hours a day.  Setting up gear.  Ordering new gear.  Selling used gear.  Tuning my gear.  Optimizing my environment.  Buying Bitcoin.  Meeting up with Bitcoin vendors around my neighbourhood.

But my fever has reached its pinnacle.  Lately, while still following Bitcoin news closely, my foot has not been on the gas pedal nearly as much.
Am I the only one?  How can I get reinvigorated? 

Personally , It still excite me & it will forever :o since I started lately with BTC , even if I missed the train to become rich it dosen't matter ;D

Nope.

I'm still kinda new. Only been into bitcoin for a few months now. I'm still excited.  But it is what it is.

pretty much every part of it. but first it was a hobby more than a regular thing.

im still in love with bitcoins, but with any marriage ,to keep things interesting,we gotta find   other ways to spice it up.

I lost a friend who tried the altcoin lifestyle. Just be careful out there.

Being able to send and receive money from anyone in the world with an internet connection? Fuck bank accounts! Of course Bitcoin still excites me, next I'm going to start buying bullion bars once I get myself a proper passive income, yes, with Bitcoin.

Almost 4yrs now for me, and I just get more and more involved, and more fascinated by the tech and the potential long-run implications.

Forming a support group for addicts... BCA (bitcoin anonymous).
This thread could be the first step  :P

Keep it safe guys, its fine to enjoy a little BTC but don't move onto dangerous alts.

Stay in fiat, guys, don't move to dangerous Bitcoin. Isn't it what bankers say to the unsuspecting public? Same logic here, be afraid of uncharted territory, many perils await you there :D

I'm excited about being paid in bitcoins soon. Making it so I have to buy dollars if I want to spend those instead of the other way around.

Frankly it seems, bitcoin meant only mining and trading for u. So, at a low price it is expected not to excite u. But, bitcoin is actually much more than its FIAT value. Those who found that, are getting more excited everyday ;)

tbh i never been excited lol.
I feel like btc money is like some game money.
I'm coming onlin everyday to gamble, and i never understand how fast i lose money :D
But with paypal i don't risk like this D:

Bitcoin itself doesn't excite me. Developments in bitcoin interest s me and am intrigued to see when bitcoin becomes mainstream. I am not a miner, so I sort of ignore hardware news.

Look at the picture, it was a joke that you just couldn't enjoy because you are on a crusade to promote your alt in a bitcointalk forum. Stay in your own forum or at least the alt section and stop leaching off of Bitcoin's popularity.


Not into drugs... just a pic off the internet that was relevant to a joke that some may enjoy (except alt fanbois.)

I promote open-mindedness, but I see you can't understand.

I own diff alts you idiot, get off your high horse and learn to have a sense of humor.

Why are you so easily vexed? You need a sense of humor and take life in a light way, you seem too grumpy.

Just sick of shill accounts and alt promoters trolling bitcointalk. I'm tempted to drop a grand on a bunch of independent contractors to spread FUD on your forums to reciprocate in kind.

There is nothing wrong with many alts! I'm just sick of these underhanded tactics. We get it , you no longer love bitcoin and think PoW is dead. Please sell all of your bitcoins and stay in the alt section if you want to post here.

I'd say, I am pretty much at peace with Bitcoins.
I have a lot of confidence now, that it will be a success. I saw it at some highly speculative thing a year or even some months ago and wasn't sure, if I would just lose the money, I invested in it.
I look at the price changes every day, but it doesn't really excite me anymore, regardless of if it going up or down.

Hey why don't you go and give orders to your wife or mom? I am sure they will obey ;D

I love bitcoin.

End of story.

3.5 years for me and I'm still high on Bitcoin : )

More you dig, more interesting and intimidating it is. And so much staff left to explore! I think I'm good for at least another decade...

I have been sitting on the sidelines for a while studying bitcoin and everyday am getting more involved as the technology and ecosystem is extremely fascinating.

Yep, it still does when i am doing something amazing and it goes the right way.
Last time tested multisig with nd was pretty excited after the transaction went through. :D

Yah I'm getting a bit jaded....

Oh wait....

There we go.

Yes, I'm still very excited with Bitcoin.
In fact, I'm earning my first money ever on Internet, thanks to Bitcoin signature campaign!
I see this earned Bitcoin as very good investment in the future :)

Yeah, today I was thinking about dead man's switches.

Let's say that I want to leave bitcoin to my loved ones without involving the government or any trusted intermediaries such as lawyers.

To do this, I want to set up a dead man's switch with a bitcoin unspent tx output:

e.g. If the unspent output is idle for 6 months, then the bitcoin will be sent to Addresses X and Y (my children's addresses)
Therefore, if I die or become incapacitated, they just need to wait for 6 months and everything is done cleanly as I intended.

Currently, there's no way to do exactly this with bitcoin, although you can do something inferior if you're willing to give the raw transaction text to a trusted third party or leave it somewhere for them to find.

I don't have the talent to program this stuff, but I am still excited just thinking about the awesome things that we'll be able to do when all the tools are available.

It's real close, Counterparty.

Well just wait when price is rising to the moon again , i believe all will feel excited.
Now we have a bad moment because price is not good , but im still excited and believe this will change in the future.

And Overstock is working with Counterparty to trade stocks using the blockchain as well. Imagine how much human effort (measured in both time and money) will be saved when a secure blockchain can automatically handle the passing of digital cash and stocks from one generation to the next exactly as the dead person intended.

And think about this: When you get paid in bitcoin, you're going to be able to have that money automatically split up and sent to different addresses. And then money going into each of those addresses can be set up to be automatically saved, used to buy stocks/bonds, donated to charity, automatically pay bills, pay taxes and put in your fun-money address in the proportions that you want. As this sort of stuff matures, there will be presets available that will suit 99% of people's needs. Set up a responsible, hands-off personal finance and retirement savings regime in 20 minutes. If you change jobs, there's no problem. You give your new employer your address and you don't need to change anything else. And you never have to worry about some company that you dealt with in the past pulling money out of your account without your permission.

DACs are going to allow you to participate in distributed networks selling or buying wi-fi, space, or computing power in small increments to/from strangers as needed. Maybe your router will pay for itself.

This isn't some crazy sci-fi stuff. We're going to be the first people to experiment with all of this and eventually some user-friendly, insured version of this is going to hit the world like a shockwave. Bitcoin competing with and perhaps dominating other currencies is the sexy, get rich quick part of it, but the rest of it still excites me every day.

Nothing wrong with taking a 4% rake at high stakes games, best invention ever bitcoin

LOL

Yes bitcoin still exited me :p

iam here since 1,5 years and BTC is still amazing for me  :D

Hell yeah ;D It excite me and will keep exciting me <3

Still excited, but for changing reasons if that makes sense. At first I thought it could be a good way to stash some funds away for the future. Then I started to understand the idea behind it and how much potential it has to change the world. Now it is probably a combination of the two, but still quite exciting.

It's been a few years so the excitement is fading in a manner of speaking, mainly because I'm starting to use them regularly and it's becoming a normal thing for me, but there's always something new in the environment that turns me on again. :)

I will get more excited when it gets to the 1000s.

I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
And I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I want you
I want you

The price went kinda flat and dull, but I still follow bitcoinnews and come on the forums, thats where the heart of the community is at.

The best moments are when people panic due to a crash or rally.

I open BTC-E trollbox, and while enjoying a beer I'm laughing at fools going nuts in the trollbox.

 I am Bitcoining more than 12 hours a day now.for a long period.  :-\

I guess the excitement of mining is gone for home miners now. Just read that some large mining operator is targeting large dams for cheap electricity, means even higher difficulty and lower income for home miners

But in finance area, the real excitement has not started yet. I start to get questions about bitcoin from a few friends and more and more people are starting to purchase bitcoin from me. Once they see that this thing will never fall below the previous low, their confidence will getting stronger and stronger

No, it doesn't excites me because I don't have any. I guess it still excites people who are holding a tonne of it.

BTW: who's the girl on the right?

Me neither. I was heavily into BTC before I made the mistake of ordering miners from BFL and got caught up in that whole mess (btw, EAT SHIT AND DIE BFL, YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT EATING DIRTY MOTHER FUCKING SCUMBAG DOUBLE CROSSING A-HOLE DOUCHE BAG WHORES, but then again, I digress. I apologize, momentary tourettes. *Ahem*). Since then, I sold all my BTCs and pretty much cashed out right before they tanked...haven't looked back since TBH. I've been keeping an eye on the sidelines every once and awhile (like now) just to keep up but I don't think I'll ever jump back in again. My confidence in the whole thing is shot just because I just can't help this nagging gut feeling that BTC has been bought out and corrupted somehow. I know, I know..."not possible"...but c'mon. Everything BTC stood for no longer applies. Decentralized? Anonymous? LOL! Not since ASICs, corporate mining farms and the fed pretty much killed the concept AND the fact that folks like you and me can't compete anymore. Disillusioned and bitter much? Hell fuckin' yeah. Bottom line? I still believe in the CONCEPT but looking for the nex gen. Until then I'm sitting this one out and stacking silver (DISCLAIMER: Opinions are like assholes and mine stink just like the rest of them).

Lollllll

I like you bitgirl.  :)

Hang in there it will change for you. I used to think like you do because for a year or two I lost money to every scam on this forum since MyBitcoin. I bitched and complained about everything until I realized that the idiots selling ideas on this forum aren't Bitcoin. They are shitting on Bitcoin. They are here to squeeze the last drop of milk out of Bitcoins teat. The pool operators, TBF members, exchanges, business startups, new storage gadget makers, online wallets, IPO salesmen, casinos and everyone in between are here to make your btc belong to them. You have to assume anyone that offers anything for sale on this forum is a fucking thief and a liar. I pretty much use Bitcoin now only when I'm standing in front of the person I'm giving it to or at major retailers online that were around long before Bitcoin. If you follow that pattern you can't go wrong. Just remember there's nothing wrong with using Bitcoin but there's a lot wrong with the people selling shit on this forum. Keep a few btc as a memento of the time you used Bitcoin. Lock them away on an old hard drive like you would a photo album and forget about them for years. Some day you can open the file and laugh at how stupid you were back then or run out and buy a new house with a keepsake. Either way you haven't lost much.

just like you, I started wondering what I should do now. not excited as ever. no focus should I do. in addition to the results that I get nothing. no one in my town who could be invited to discuss about this. :(

Of cource still excited, can't stop watching A. Antonopoulos's lectures.

after getting the electric bill trying to use a couple s2 miners in california I am not as excited lol. $581 for 1 month

how much bitcoin did that generate?

You could have better yield by investing in cloud mining website.

There will soon be a way in bitcoin : https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki) (CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY)

what major improvement has bitcoin gone thru other than price fall, expedia overstock accepting btc.
anybody?

Easier to use now which is helping out with wider acceptance.....

1) The Myceilum wallet is easier to use than my banks app.

2) Circle app is self explanatory easy to use and insured against loss.(plus instant buy/sell)

3) Gyft app works great for using btc around town.

It's not that hard for new btc users anymore.....Any smartphone user can quickly understand and start to buy/sell/spend in minutes.

MtGox made a good example for Banks/Governments to see that centralization does not work with Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is still young and developing..... It takes time, just like the internet did.

FUCK YEAH, soon OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY and arbitrary script for redeem of P2SH.
