I don't really save up money over time instead, I tend to put $20 into a gambling site on a loan. That means I won't play again until I've repayed the loan meaning I stop myself from depositing over and over as some do.

There are plenty of signature campaigns found under the service section of the marketplace. Not many take newbies but as you become a member and so on you will get better rates with more campaigns open to you.

Maybe I'm not as optimistic as the rest of us but if we saw an economic crash of sorts I don't see Bitcoin as staying that strong, many people will sell to get some money further driving the price down atleast towards the start of the crash. Personally I don't see another big crash coming too soon either though.

As others have said there is a lot of variables which can make it more or less profitable but as a general rule consumer end mining is not really profitable long term as hardware evolves etc.

I've been interested  in starting up a site like this in the past but I've found it difficult to get a script that functions really well with minimal bugs, do you know of any current bugs or issues with the script? Thanks.

If you have a look at the alieexpress link posted above it seems like he is paying about half the price he is selling them for and just ordering online to whatever address you provide meaning he is profiting $10 per powerbank for doing nothing you couldnt do with 2 minutes of searching

Is this really surprising? Wouldn't you suspect they would use any means necessary to get what they want? ESPECIALLY considerering they are a religious group.

I think the site looks really impressive at first look although I think some of it could be tidied up a bit. For example, in the rounds history the BTC amount is in large blue text that isn't so nice to the eyes. I also think you guys might really benefit from a professional looking thread design. I actually really like the idea of this site though, I'll be watching it for now but I might play a few games later on.

Thanks, I'll make sure to follow all rules and be a HQ poster. My signature should be on now.

Will update signature if accepted. I'd also heavily encourage the use of an escrow for signature funds.

Thanks again mate

Posting to confirm receipt of loan as per private messages.

I'd happily manage a campaign for free, PM me

In my opinion gambling has been great for bitcoin with bitcoin gambling becoming extremely popular because of its anonymity, its accessibility, quick deposit and low transaction fees.
I think in the future bitcoin will become commonplace in the greater internet gambling scene, there are just so many advantages over traditional internet gambling.

I'd love to join but I understand if its full, I'd ensure I met all requirements with only high quality posts 
Will change sig if accepted.

Keep up the good work nasty! I love coming into this thread and seeing how the whole nasty operation is doing. I used to own a few shares (seats) a few years back and it makes me happy seeing nasty doing well and keeping up with all the changes in mining technology (I've been around the place since the old GPU's where still mining BTC).
I plan on making a donation when possible. Props to OGNasty as well for always being transparent, honest and trustworthy

Isn't it plausible that the bulk of bitcoin adoption happened later and was slower than expected? That would explain why the distribution of Bitcoins so heavily favours "Early adopters"
As for the 21 Million limit, I think we will eventually change to using mBTC as the standard unit because of how bitcoins price will increase. This would mean there is 2 Billion+ mBTC available which sounds a lot more globally friendly.

Your first ever post on this forum was asking about this ICO     
OP bumping the thread with newbie accounts more like it 

Honestly over the last few years I have seen very few ICO coins that turned into successful coins. Investing in an ICO is similar to gambling, and in my experience the odds aren't great. I'd advise most members here to atleast observe a few ICO's to see how they play out before even considering investing in an ICO. One big tell tale sign is to see how transparent the dev's are (Do you know their real names? Do they have experience in this kind of development

My overall recommendation: Steer clear of ICO's where possible and at the least do as much in depth research as possible. You wont find any investor bank doing an IPO without knowing every detail about the business, shouldnt you be doing the same with your money for a coin?
