Bitcoin Forum

hey guys, i've always see negative post about bitcoin
are there any positive things about bitcoin that are currently happening now?

Yes, Bitcoin is actually a very useful currency.

We may need to leave bitcointalk behind to the trolls soon but there will be an option for Bitcoiners to discuss Bitcoin without the constant trolls.

That's funny, I always see positive news about bitcoin. Maybe you should just change your perspective.

I second that.

can you please tell me when and where? i dont even want to write...but reading without permanent troll overdose would be awesome

ps: the main reason i registered was to ignore the trolls

Welllll ... let's see ... an average of 1 month per major theft/hack over the course of the last 5 years ... not a single major exchange has lasted through the history of bitcoin which means basically every single person involved in bitcoin has been seriously outright robbed at some point ... aaaand add to that the fact that a great majority of the bitcoin supply was effectively mined in secret at a zero value which basically renders the entire thing a pump and dump ponzi scheme ... aaaand add to that the fact that the major runup from 100ish to 1200 was done with a *billion* fake non-existent dollars perpetrated by mtgox aka the greatest single monetary theft ever perpetrated in the history of mankind beyond even the likes of madoff and enron ... the real question is ... why does positive news exist at all ? ? ?

Case in point.

ignore

One thing that always initiate those negative posts, its the value or current market price of bitcoin. As more and more daily positive news is being promoted in the media, there is the movement of bitcoin that sinks it to further low. The question now is why?

quit with them facts...er I mean FUD bro.   This is a place to only discuss positive things and shill bitcoin to the moon, not constructively discuss the actual events transpiring around us.


 GTFO.

I have 2 questions:
How much do you get paid for your posts?
Where do I apply for such a job?

Because the price is negative

look at the price! it is the worst time for bitcoin ever - it is doomed!

- $8,000 per
- apply at Reality World, Inc.  But a strong word of caution: they don't hire neckbeards and tinfoil wardrobe automatically gets you the door at the interview.

good luck!

... over an extended period of time

Totally depends what you think is good andpositive for you. Overall, yes a lot of positive things are happening with bitcoin.

Its due to the downtrend. Negative price breeds negative sentiment.

There are plenty of positives if you look. Coinbase's funding is one of them.

There's plenty of things to be positive about bitcoin right now. Just look at all the millions that are being invested into bitcoin by various people and groups. I know bitcoin seems to be growing at a slow pace but just think of all the future possibilities. Have faith.

Think about the things that got you into it again.

For most people that sadly seems to be greed or to make a quick buck so that wont help if this is the case. I think people just need some patience though as bitcoin is not going to go mainstream over night.

Don't believe ppl here.
Believe in yourself ;)

Most of the news show positive info, but the price show negative info

oooooo man did that get a good lol out of me ... btw i get paid exactly $0 by anybody and have never received a single satoshi to my btc account profile and don't ever expect to ... the handful of people benefiting from our posts do not give a shit or share a dime :P

Have you ever heard the saying dont believe everything you read or hear, this is so true with the bitcoin forum.
Lots of trolls here and others who are shorting the market, they want you beleive the FUD they spread and sell your coins.

It's like anything in life, read everything you can then do your own homework and only once you have done all that then make your own disision on what to do.
Always remember the trolls who say BTC is dead and get out asap have there own agender and want you to beleive what they say.
If the trolls who always bag btc have no interest in bitcoin then what are they doing on this forum, killing time and trying to help us I doubt it, they know what there doing... sometimes.
Also never invest more than you can afford to loose.

How can you lose interest? I know things can get a bit boring at certain times but there's always going to be excitement coming at some point. I suppose your level of interest in bitcoin depends on what you want out of it, though.


This is disappointing but I'm sure it wont always be like this and the opposite will happen eventually.

Unfortunately the price of bitcoin has a lot to do with the way people like OP feel, this goes for the majority.

I don't think it's the majority but it's the majority of the people that get vocal about it when it's not going as planned. IF you can see the possibility of bitcoin for the future then people won't be as worried. If it's going no where after 3/4/5 years then maybe we might have a problem but bitcoin will take some time to find its footing.

I know bitcoin is revolutionary but when it loses value day after day for 14 months many will think like OP and it's pretty normal. Even early adopters who still havent sold have lost a fortune and every time we get the same argument to wait for 5-10 years and come back. Although i believe bitcoin will eventually skyrocket, but the price plays with peoples emotions, watch when it goes into bullish rally then those who haven't bought will start to whine.

The old saying is true ..... "Bad NEWS sell papers"

Trolls are everywhere, just use your "ignore" option, if you spot them on the forum. I do that, and I have a good experience.

They tend to pop out of the woodwork, when the BTC price drops. I even see pro-bitcoiners go troll, when the price drop too low. {We are only human}  ;)  

If they think like this then sadly they've better get used to it. The value also hasn't fallen constantly. There have been a few rallies, though few is the keyword here. I also don't think people will have to wait 5-10 years to see the price skyrocket, but 2-3 is reasonable. I guess all we can do is wait.

Well...Bitcoin still have a value more than $100. That good to me.
I still believing on it but it still need more time to make it good

Practically I don't care what these trolls have to say. Still enjoying my time over here and learning about bitcoin.

Great, maybe you can spend the extra free time going to remedial classes to learn how to spell the English language.

These critiques should be addressed in constructive way instead of saying "troll". Everyone that comes here new will think we are delusional. Im too lazy to counterargument these so I hope someone else does it.

Well, there are literally dozens of positive things happening about Bitcoin every week. The New York Stock Exchange even invested money into Coinbase's new regulated exchange. This is one of the huge steps for Bitcoin to gain traction in the regular financial sector.

 Yes indeed. Lot's of trolls that have never read the white paper.
         Welcome to my ignore list 12345mm.
 

To all of you who say they never see anything possessive about Bitcoins.
Please.....

Have a Look!

There's plenty to be cheery and hopeful about, just have to give BTC time to grow.

I remain optimistic, because I only make money from bitcoin. whatever happens I remain faithful, until bitcoin really worthless

Indeed. The situations is getting out of hand. The rate of which that is happening has slowed down a bit (it was worse after the market spike), but it's still talking.
What solution will be presented as the next option for Bitcoiners?

OP, you should read Bitcoin related news sites often. Something like coindesk, they often have positive news in regards to Bitcoin.

HAHAHAHA

sometimes, it's nice to read something ironic!!!!

Yes yes!!!!

 ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

so what is this new troll free option?  i would like to sign up right away

bitcoin its rarely bussines . use it money what you feel not to sad if you loses it

It would be nice to let us know what negative posts you see about Bitcoin . and if you mean in Btctalk then .. people are simply trolling or simply lost huge amounts of money and blame bitcoin for their failure like "bitcoin used only for illegal things , drugs , weapons blah blah" ..
the goods things that are happening now to Bitcoin is that a lot of companies from time to time start accepting Bitcoin as payment method or Donation method . (Wikipedia , Microsoft , Mozilla firefox , and alot more )

Why does it need to be 'Bitcoin'?
There is a lot positive news for cryptocurrency - one of them is the negative news for Gavincoin.  

Evolution keeps happening. Why stick to VHS? Get a DVD-player!!

bitcoin is the same as everything in the world like all normal currencies, which are 'based' on gold. so why not bitcoin?

How is your interest more loose?

You have more interest in a wider variety of Bitcoin topics? Is that what loosing interest in Bitcoin means?

Yes of course, see here:

http://wallstreetjournal.com/news/warren-buffet-investing-100-millions-in-bitcoin.html (http://youtu.be/UuZH3a5MKik)

 ;D

Bitcoin is the positive thing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPR3GlpQQJA) that is happening!

hum...

another scientology clone????

 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

in any case,
i like the images and the music of the movie...

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

probably because bitcoin prices, because prices can make a person's interest is lost if it continues to decline

It`s fun even with trolls. You shoud be more selective what to read  ;D

at first i thought it was the "cut your loose" guy, but seeing as he's a full member i think that's unlikely.

Best explanation of Bitcoin I've heard yet  :D

Things have never been that positive.
Price has corrected and is back to it's long term pre-2013-bubble trend where it belongs.
Exponential-growth myth is busted, there will be less wishfull speculation from now leading to less volatility / more stable price, which means that at last Bitcoin will start being useful as a transactional currency.
Blockchain technology has evolved a lot in a year and there are many exciting new innovations at the horizon.

I never got into bitcoin because of the $1000 spike, or the potential to make money. I got into bitcoin to support the idea of exchanging a commodity for goods via a decentralized network. If banks put something back into the users, it would be good. But at the end of the day most, if not all, banks charge bank fees for accounts, transaction fees, higher interest rates charged vs interest rates on investments etc. All other variables aside, a bank is a business to make money. Bitcoin is a method designed not to put money in one particular organizations pocket or wallet. Transaction fees go back into the network for example.

Bitcoin is positive. If a bitcoin was worth exactly $1 and assuming it was much easier that it is to mine, I would be happy.

Observe the Australian Taxation Office sneaking into bitcoin. https://www.ato.gov.au/General/Gen/Tax-treatment-of-crypto-currencies-in-Australia---specifically-bitcoin/

I've also lost interest in the bitcoin but after few days I'm back , I can't really abandon this fantastic "revolution".

weeeeeeeeeeeeel come back Red!!!

i imagined that you could not stay away from bitcoin for a long time!!!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The coin needs more business adoption, then the masses will follow...

Speaking of which...

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/facebook-spotify-ryanair-could-accept-bitcoin-today-following-bitpay-adyen-deal-1486361

If this rumor is true, then that's alot of masses following.

If you are loosing interest in bitcoin, maybe step away from it for a while.

I can help you out with some loose change. Just be sure not to lose it. Put it in the bank, so you won't lose any interest. Buckle up your shoes, pull up those loose trousers and find something you love and can lose yourself in. Don't tell people about it, because loose lips sink ships. Just gather all your passions and let loose. Loosey goosey it!

Just Google Bitcoin news every day and you will see how many huge companies are investing in the future of Bitcoin.
You may lose interest, but the business world has not.

I'm about to Loose interest too!

Not losing interest in Bitcoin though!   8)

some times i mistake loose with lose!!!

sorry for all the non english mother tongue!!!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't feel bad.  Tons of stupid Americans get it wrong too.

It may be not a bad thing.
After all, bitcoin was created to act as a payment tool...
I don't think you're that much interested in other currencies/ payment systems*, you just use them without much thinking.


* hmm, maybe except being interested how to obtain as much of them as possible :þ

I'm losing interest in your thread.

Hahaha!
It reminds me of "This is gentlemen!" meme originated on reddit,
and one of the responses: "One mis-step for man, one giant leap for bull-kind." ;D

It's like someone said earlier, just step away from it for awhile and recharge your bitcoin battery! Lately I've had my moments where I just say that I will come back to it in a week or two.

I too tried to take my self away from mining. Found my self switching at least one of my miners back on. Can't do it.

Well... you can't blame a decentralized currency for getting a bad rep... The press is blatantly pointing out it's association with black markets and terrorism etc. But in truth, one should ask themselves, which came first? Bitcoin or black markets, terrorism etc? I think bitcoin is not at fault cause paper money has been used for that sort of thing way before bitcoin's birth. Besides, bitcoin in itself is not entirely untraceable, smuggling money overseas is not full-proof with bitcoin...

I felt the same way a while ago but haven't lost interest in it. My mined coins used to go in gambling sites but after it crapped up have nothing to play with.

ehehehe... same here
 :D :D :D :D :D
a lot if italians write "io ho" [i have] or "loro hanno" [they have] without "H" ["o" or "anno"]

 ;) ;) ;)

is their a filter by posts, membership level, that would be a good hi pass filter against trolls

you will back ;D

It's like in a relationship. Give both yourselves some time to cool down and rekindle the memories. Once you miss each other terribly and are back, the bond will be much stronger

MtGox - $450 million (at the time), 850,000 btc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox)

Madoff - "Prosecutors estimated the size of the fraud to be $64.8 billion, based on the amounts in the accounts of Madoff's 4,800 clients as of November 30, 2008."  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madoff_investment_scandal)

Enron - "Enron shareholders filed a $40 billion lawsuit after the company's stock price, which achieved a high of US$90.75 per share in mid-2000, plummeted to less than $1 by the end of November 2001" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_scandal).  Regardless of the exact amount, it was well over $450 million.


Why is there any positive news about the dollar????


I find it interesting that OP is "loosing" interest.  Loosing?  

"I find it interesting that OP is "loosing" interest."



Apparently his prior interest in BTC was getting too "tight" .. ;D :D ;D

Triff ..

I sometimes get stressed out too specially from too much browsing on this site. I need a vacation.

I'm loosing interest in making money and coin because of negative drama being created, take it on the chin or quit an take it in the a&s

My interest level when I first heard about bitcoin again and again, when Shrem would buy ads on Free Talk Live years ago, was sickening and didn't want anything to do with it. It finally clicked a few years back and have been doing my own homework pretty much everyday since then. It's a way of life at this point, folks.

hem hem...
maybe you do nor read all the thread :-)

ChuckBuck already have noted one "O" too

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

hope he correct this error

 :D :D :D :D :D

or the tread will go OT soon!!!

Did I hear my name mentioned...

Time to get Loose or I might Loose my mind!


Just messing, I thought this was the Off topic thread.   ::)

That said it's hard to lose interest, when it's actually in the news nowadays.  Silk Road's Ulbricht just got the book of life thrown at him and NY just released the latest revision for the Bitlicense regulatory framework for virtual currencies.

Bitcoin is still marinating folks, year 6 people, they'll be plenty of time for lots of interest once it goes viral.

All the news is positive for the most part, its just a few naysayers.  If you were initially interested to get rich quick then i urge you to think of wider social implications.

Only those people loose interest in btc who was scammed by some one with large amount of btc, or he has lots of family works. I remember once i got scammed by more than 100$ then loose my interest in that...but regained it  ;D 8)

Everything has positive and negative.. the positive thing is BTC is pretty cheap now..lol.! Go buy some..and invest it into something.!

this is a real Yin e yang filosophy

:-)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Yin_yang.svg/220px-Yin_yang.svg.png

but i think here we are going OT

Get rich quick is a no-go on bitcoin anymore, no longer will we see value to go up 10 folds in a few months time range.
Speculators are now more involved in btc in the long run, timing investment in range from 5 to 10 years.

@OP don't know why u would say that you're loosing interest, when bitcoins time just started, and every day brings new additions.
There must be something that suits your needs; if you're bad at trading, consider giving bitcoin related loans or services.. there's something for everyone

cheers

Speculators are now more involved in btc in the long short run, timing investment in range from 5 to 10 years minutes.
[/quote]

there we go ... nice and accurate

Same here! Perspective is everything.

+1, very true...
@OP, When you want anything to change and it doesn't change, you just be the change... Also, you need to look your viewpoint at how you see it in some cases; and not how it is described...
