Completing surveys and ptc for bitcoin is a waste of time according to me. You can earn bitcoin in lots of several other methods. However if you live in US, UK, AS etc you can find some well paying surveys and get paid handsomely by them. If you interested I can tell you some websites. Do check your PM from me. They are the best ones in my opinion.

You cant get rich in bitcoin by just thinking and dreaming about it. Here are the methods

1.Get a job/freelance which pays you in bitcoin
2.Mine Bitcoin, Mine altcoin and then trade altcoin to bitcoin
3.Signature campaigns and social network campaigns - look under "Services" section
4.Facuets, PTC sites

Have fun with all these

If you lose a lot at casinos and then never go back - its your choice - you did not get addicted. If you keep going back then it is addiction. However the casino is build in such a way that players keep coming back hence its not a fault of the players. But controlling your emotions is important and thats what you can do to not get addicted to gambling.

Considering the volatility of the market some people may consider trading as a type of gambling. However your knowledge is important in trading while luck is important in casinos. Again sports betting is based on knowledge and luck. So I guess trading cannot be considered as gambling provided you dont take very high risks.

Congrats on the wins. But I am sure you did lose some before you won some matches. Do post them too, I am sure readers would like to know about it and build their own strategies from it. Then make this tread a tipster section and create a fanbase running for yourself. You might even get some referrals from there.

Stay away from sites that claim to give you high yield within few days they are scammers and doublers and cloud mining sites. All MLM pyramids are ponzi schemes - take my word for it. Try earning via signature campaigns, faucets, ptc if you have free time. Otherwise if you are desperate to get bitcoin buy some.

My country does not like the idea of coins that float in thin air (think about ether) 

I tried to teach them about e-currency and their response was "Sir, Do you really want to buy anything or are you wasting our time??". Fiat is ruling here and to be honest I like it. I still can secure my bank wallet let alone my private keys 

Best way to earn bitcoin is by signature campaigns in this forum once you get a high rank. Also you can collect from faucets, ptc sites. Also try collecting altcoins and exchange them to bitcoin. You can also try mining altcoin and then to bitcoin.

You can try investing in mining if that is profitable in your country. Also make sure to stay away from HYIP, Ponzi and Magic doublers. Stay clear of cloud-mining sites and other such scam. Also mining altcoin and then exchanging to bitcoin is a good method - in other words Trading.

This can happen in case your bitcoin core software is still newly installed on your machine and it requires some time to sync with the network and grab the 7 years of blockchain.

However I suggest you to be patient as sometimes the network is lagging and slow, Since you have paid mining fee it should get confirmed if not in 4 hours.

Nice job by the admins and the people working under the Iconomi project. 4.2M+ USD is a great achievement and I hope it crosses 10M USD within the next 18days. The team is hardworking and can make the project a real success with their practical thinking and proper methodology.

Investing in real estate and gold is good enough in my opinion. Stay away from online investments. Most of them either are scammers, get hacked, or simply disappear. Also make sure to invest only that amount of money which you are willing to lose and make sure to get back the capital. You can also try trading in the stock market and altcoin trading.

There is nothing called best investment. Any investment can turn the the tables and make you a beggar. It is more important to do research and invest/trade only what you are willing to lose. Current market trends determine what is best and it seems altcoin trading is good at this point. Do proper research on altcoins and begin trading on it.

Putting all your money into bitcoin would be very risky. The price is extremely volatile and thus you can easily lose all your funds within hours. Rather having a capital and trading on that or investing on it is more profitable. Make sure to get back you capital along with profit for a successful trade.

Btc vs fiat trading is not profitable in my opinion unless you have a lot of fiat at your disposal. But altcoin trading is profitable. Try ethereum for now, buy some and then hold with until the price rises. Then sell it at higher price to get profit. Be careful of new coins that land up in the market which are pump and dump schemes.

What white hat hackers have exposed is the insecure brainwallet. Make sure not to use it. Always make a cold storage and use armory if possible. A hardware wallet is also good as long as you keep it in a safe place. Also storing the keys in a boot of OS which has never come online is also good.

Many sites also do need more confirmations for deposits. Make sure you get at least one confirmation for a person you trust and you know is not scamming you. For other cases make sure to wait for at least 4 confirmations, more is always good.

The referral stats are now online! I can view the activity of my referrals so I can tip them back when I can. Been waiting for this for a long time.

Thanks admin
