Not just due to the bitcoin price fluctuations. But there would be no guarantee that you will get a campaign all the weeks. There were so many campaigns went off suddenly, in those times how we can compensate the campaign earning. It would be too hard to find a fixed income through freelancing way hence with signature campaign too.

We must work on multiple income streams if we always want to achieve some consistent amount of bitcoins. Then obviously bitcoin fluctuation also a factor on deciding our income levels.

Yes, only altcoin trading could be compared against penny stock trading not the bitcoin trading even bitcoin is still an experimental project. But an usual US stock will have market cap like $500 billion or $800 billion whereas bitcoin's market cap is still struck around $15 billions. But when considering one bitcoin prices, most of the stocks look like penny stocks lol.

In my experience, penny stocks are just gambling. They may take off or they may remain penny valued all the times. I never preferred trading penny stocks whereas bitcoin trading is highly profitable for me.

Both of your questions were already answered by OP. He is from France and he is ready to go through escrow.

@OP,
Will it be possible to post a screenshot of your collective mining hash power. I guess that might motivate some mining aspirants to consider. What about shipping costs, that would be a big concern for many overseas buyers because they also need to clear customs duties.

Reach one USD ? Right now decred is trading around $0.002 levels with market cap of 7,597 bitcoins.

I am not finding any positive events for decred price appreciations other than few investors found on their own forum.
I agree that decred is totally a different altcoin still now a days that alone will not be enough to have some decent value.

Check for different factors which are associated with one particular altcoin if you plan for any investing. Right now I am not finding any drastic value changes for any altcoins. Only bitcoin seems promising.

There are lot of differences between just FUD and impacting incidents. If you fail to differentiate them then no one will be able to help you regarding your worries on bitcoin prices. The real negative incidents are always impacting bitcoin prices and we need to bear them if we are a long term holders whereas FUDs will not sustain for one or two weeks and markets always witness a bounce back in quicker time.

Both investors and adopters of bitcoin need to concern the FUD, but the history has showed that we need not to bother them. Still if we bother, we can use them to buy back more

This must be a valid point we need to consider and unfortunately both got struck around $1000 price levels which makes people compare them in more preciously bitcoiners are considering gold as a competitor in value race. Nothing would be wrong here imho, we can expect another competitor around $10k levels when bitcoin will be trading there.

If I remember right, in late 2013 itself, gold prices were beaten by bitcoin. But did not hold. The current sustaining prices may land bitcoins into $1500 levels hence we can expect gold prices will get out numbered.

The short term manipulator may come from any country and it is assumed that we had similar players from China to pump and dump bitcoin prices in recent times. But it doesn't mean that bitcoin prices is always depending on them for a rally. There are lot of other economics around the world to impact bitcoin prices and that is what happening right now after China faced huge sudden regulations with their bitcoin activities.

Still, China has obvious reasons why they had impacted bitcoin prices explicitly like more mining power, investors and adopters. Hence there would be no wrong on our assumptions of their control over bitcoin prices.

Because there is a consideration of imaginary club which measures the eligibility criteria as holding one in millionth of total bitcoins. Being one person out of millions would be a privileged one in my opinion too when considering the total worlds populations of 7 billions. But only future bitcoin prices will decide whether they are lucky or not.

Those early adopters got chances to join club of 100/1000 or even into 10. In future people may consider a person to join a 10 million club. So, as of now it is still an achievable milestone yet has some prestigious considerations.

What about when bitcoin inches every $10 rising, your total networth booming ? You are still getting bored on watching them ? (If you claim that you have your bitcoins on cold storage, you can have watch-only wallets. At least you must be following them on blockchain explorer).

Same way, you might get heart attack when prices fluctuate $100. Moreover I just imagine it is very much similar to watching an automated dice gambling. You set all and watching how your balance floating. 

I guess you must be into some other full time business and you do not have enough time to have these thrills lol

I am also always in support of new revolutionary changes. If re-barnding will bring new blood of enthusiasm but without losing what are being accepted as core concepts, why not we may go for it.

I remember similar topics which were discussed earlier but they were dealing only about the name of bitcoins (like naming bitcoins for example digital money or smart cash) but here OP mentioned about few other things too, which might need to be considered for a better future of entire bitcoin systems.

Also, some other people are suggesting about considering change of unit for bitcoins like switching into mBTC or satoshi. Why not we have that too a part of rebranding ?

Other than those, there are many games and these apps give you bitcoin, either for free or for playing and competing against others, but usually these kind of apps do not give a very big amount just a few satoshis nothing more and they take some time, but still they are free so you can’t complain if you’re a new user.

Yes, tons of apps are available but the catch is what are worth the time and efforts. I tried many but finally concluded signature campaign would be the search stopper for me.

When it comes to selling and buying bitcoin I would prefer using localbitcoin, since it has many trust worthies who have been in the selling bitcoin business for a really long time and have made many deals, so the chances of getting scammed is little since they also have an escrow which does not coast that much, so I really recommend it.

Honestly I have not used paxful yet. I read many positive reviews on them, but when I am really finding comfortable dealing through localbitcoins what would be the need for me to switch over or test a relatively new services.

Actually the service can go down anytime indeed and while some obvious signs are : stopping the withdrawals from members while appreciating the deposits and everything else. Moreover another sign is the site's admin would try to show as if he is busy and cannot reply. In those cases just don't leave any money in those sites/services.

There are always some signs to find whether a particular service is gonna go down/scam like when cryptsy got scam they blocked user's withdrawals initially and they were allowing deposits on the contrary.

When we loose in gambling we feel like it was not the gambling's mistake rather it was just that we had less bankroll. Because I have seen guys betting on primedice and when they loose they don't curse the gambling, or maybe temporarily they do, but the next day they come and say that they have a better bankroll and people should invest under them.

So, basically that confidence is because they are too addicted and think everytime that the bankroll was low. But don't know seriously when these guys will learn that its the house edge that cause them loss.

One way is that but the temptation will get you gambling again I can guarantee friend. I think rather than that just do freestyle betting on dice and do not apply any strategies because all what these strategies do is to just make you optimistic and a looser.

While freestyle gambling will not guarantee any profits I agree but surely is much better than a chasing a goal. Just gamble any amount normal odds and stop once you feel is enough.

Yeah right but those giveaways in the gambling section are mostly wagering competitions or otherwise they are signup bonus (like duck dice promotes saying they give 3000 doge on signup, though I never tried getting that).

Added to this, a personal advice rather than chasing giveaways friend please better do something conservative, I have spend a lot of time in pt chasing free money and got nothing literally apart from experience.

Indeed for me too or I would rather say that when I started gambling that was the last time I ever won from gambling and since then I have just become quite unlucky or something.

I tried the same strategy with 0.01 btc and believe me or not I was so unlucky that I did not at any point made even 0.005 profit, while loosing all the bankroll and what was left like 0.001 in balance I gambled it away at 10.00 odds and lost.

Tried out many strategies till then, but results are same always. That may be the reason I am not getting any excitement to test OP's strategies. I am sure my bad luck will remain same unchanged.

I choose the new sites only if they have some attractive events like chat trivia, some bonus or free rolls and something like that.
Is it only me or you also think the same : new sites martingale works much easier and longer while on sites like PD we bust too soon, is it because of some seeds randomization ?

No. I will never touch new gambling sites for investment purposes. It is too risky. Rather I would prefer sticking with crypto-games kind of well established sites even the reason you have mentioned is not applicable.

Signature campaign for new or old site will not make any big differences. Through campaigns sites stay competitive. Probably campaigns help new sites to get established to enter the race.

If its all about luck and you are just guessing things then why not try dice which is in fact provably fair also and enjoy high odds than sports plus instant payouts .. I said instant payouts because some sites like bet365 take 24 hrs to process withdraws while 99% of dice sites have instant payments.

If luck is what you all are dependent on then sports isn't your thing guys.

Why is anything addicting? I mean why is smoking so addicting? Why is drugs so addicting? Why is anything you can’t stop doing so addicting?

There are biological and psychological reasons behind it that unlimited amount of sources are out there already answered this.

I feel like we are feeling a void in our life with them. I can stop gambling anytime I want but I can’t stop smoking for example. I come to realize that most of the time I do not smoke because I need to, I smoke when I am bored.

Gambling is this thing behind everyone mind (people who gambled before of course, not everyone in the World) that you can’t stop thinking about. That is when you gamble couple dollars and get rid of that feeling and not more. Its a bad addiction if you lose it all, its a decent hobby addiction if you just gamble properly and with amounts you can lose.
