I agree, Twitter and blockchain makes no sense, unlike Facebook which offers more possibilities for users.
There's a possibility about this and I really hope that twitter will make this happen. We all know that blockchain can make you a profit and give you income. With that reason it's not impossible if twitter will start getting involve with blockchain. I'm pretty sure that twitter company will be interested to make money. |

He had some 100,000 Bitcoins on March 2018 when Bitcoin was $10,000 to $12,000. Now Bitcoin is $6,000
Your calculation is wrong. He would have lost that much if he would have sold. You know the profit/loss only when you are on the same coin i.e. after conversion is done for real. He sold only (heh, only?!!!?) 8 000 BTC of the 100 000 93947 BTC. If Bitcoin falls more and he sells, he'll lose more, if Bitcoin recovers before he sells, he will not lose anything. that's it if i have it i will be happy .. it is a very exciting amount .. !! Nothing to lose if these people just hold their assets in bitcoin, but the big mistake here that chinese investors didn't wait for the bull run to happen. Right now were at the midst of uncertainty, and yet the huge fall was part of the best bitcoin price gaining process. So the point here of being very excited, then it's a good vibes over future price increase and that will be much exciting for everybody who patiently hold their bitcoins. If those investors from china could feature out the reality of bitcoin, well its beyond limits and couldn't be predicted in accurate thoughts. I hope that was not a true story because it's so very horrible and devastating. I can't imagine someone losing that kind of amount because of bitcoin. Always be careful to avoid those kind of loss and stay safe. If that news is true then I hope that the owner will not lose confidence and hope just keep on living and have a great comeback. |

Well market is having its own fun with investors, so its difficult to make income on bitcoins at the moment but we can do some bounties and airdrops, they are small income for least efforts but at least something comes in even in the bearish market. Just waiting for this downtrend to finish.
At the very beginning my goal is to earn money and make a profit for myself. The moment that I found out that bitcoin can help me achieve that I have decided to get involved with it. My purpose to bitcoin is to earn money and gain income. Bitcoin has the capability to do it for me so that's my plan at the very start. |

Over some months now BTC has seen so much decrease in its price and nonetheless its still the greatest coin of all time. I have seen people selling in escrow markets with high amounts of btc and I see them as people who are selling because they fear btc will drop down to the dip. As for me I always say that I will take advantage of this time by buying as much as I can and laugh later. I think this is the right time to for us to buy. What do you think guys? Any contribution is also accepted.
Well you have the right to do in your own and I think it depends on people oh how they want to either hold their bitcoin or sell it because we know it is volatile so many people are panicking whenever its price is going low. It is a good strategy to buy and buy bitcoins because as of now its price is kinda affordable not unlike few months ago. You have the chance to do it now because looking at its price we all know that this is the kind of time that bitcoin is in sale. Well you can only do it if you are capable enough in terms of financial state. You must only buy more bitcoin if you have the resources to do so but if you're lacking in money then better use it in other needs. |

Many predict that bitcoin will rise in price by the end of the year. I also believe in that. Because a lot of news about bitcoin predict that bitcoin will be high in price.
A lot of predictions have been said and it's just a matter of time to be proven. Well as a bitcoin user I hope that it will be able to overcome the challenges by the end of this year. I'm pretty sure that all of us want that to happeb because that's for the benebenefit of all of us. Let's just keep on hoping and believing that bitcoin will do it for us. |

I don't think bitcoin cause the Internet to be used more significantly. Almost all the people are now using Internet.
Those who are trying to know more about the blockchain technology and bitcoin use Internet more. But most of bitcoin are supposed to use bitcoin only for transaction. It doesn't take a long time.
Actually it depends upon the user because he/she has the control of his/her own life. The population of bitcoin doesn't affect the health of all as a whole. It makes sense if you will say that the user itself will be affected by the action he/she had made. Bitcoin users must have self control of the proper usage of system. |

Everytime bitcoin have a bull momentum,there are tons of thoughts about it as died many times. I am also kept on waiting and serve my stuck up with my coins bec. Of this waiting thing. But will fight this battle and will still wait for something that is I knew I will kinda have wins. Just wait for the market to become green.
Patience is a precious attitude that we must possess in order to be successful. Well technically it's really a luxury because most of the time we tend to gave up into something. But here in crypto especially in bitcoin all the time we have spent in waiting will be worth it for time will come when we're going to get the fruit of our patience. |

Bitcoin is the no1 crypto currency in the world. They always develop their technology doing research for their development. That’s why i think in future bitcoin will more stronger as a coin.
Bitcoin has a bright future that allit of us can benefit. It can be a means of payment and use in many transaction worldwide. I don't know where does the others got the idea of relating it into gambling or casino. The system is different and process is way far. It's an irrelevant connection for me soto I'm not agreeing that it is a casino type. |

People should learn how to manage risk, before they invest in Bitcoin as a commodity. The latest price trends have shown that it is still possible to make some profits, if you are able to spot the price movement patterns. The beginners should stick to the old strategy of buying on the dip and selling on the spike, until they have recovered their initial capital investment.
Once they reached that stage where they have recovered their own money that they invested, the risk goes down considerably. The ROI should be your first goal and the profits will come much later. ^smile^
Better to pray and keep your faith when this type of situation is bothering us. There's nothing you can do but to trust the market to overcome this kind of problem. Our goal is to make ourselves rich and this kind of trouble must not change that. We must focus on the good side and dwell on the positive. |

I got scammed out of my bitcoin. I have located the Bitcoin address where the ass hat is holding all of his/her/their coins. Its in excess of ~700btc. I would like to find a way to crack his the public key for the private key and then donate the coinage to ~700 random peeps in this community. I did not loose a lot but I'm way more talented that rich. And I have access to a server farm (in which I have permission to use unused resources - greater than 100 machines).
IF anyone has attempted this before, it would be greatly appreciated. There is a TON of into out there but I cannot decipher what is the correct method to use.
Give that dude the thing he deserve it's not a good work to scam someone. Doing things like that for me is just for weak so give hime the reward he deserves. Make him pay for what he do and at the same time your focus is to get your own back. Get back what is yours and teach that scammer a lesson he will never forget. |

In my opinion BTC is too risky to hold. I would suggest to go into altcoins, they have more potential in my opinion.
I don't want to lose but I'm not gonna leave bitcoin just like that because this is where my heart is. I put a lot of effort, work and time in here so it's not easy for me to give up like that. Bitcoin taught me to be brave and now fear has no place in me I'm not just gonna threatened by the struggles of bitcoin I will wait until it comes back cause I know it will happen. |

It is hard to use Bitcoin as mode of payment at its state now since it is going down. You might lose, it is better to wait for the price to increase so you will benefit more even as you use as mode if payment.
For how long are we going to wait? Won't that just make us misers? If you buy a shoes worth .01 btc or roughly $60 and tomorrow that .01 btc will be worth $80 so that you just paid $20 over the price of that shoes.
That's overthinking: If I do this, this will happen. If I do that, that'll happen, what if instead of it going to 80$ it goes to 40$, you will feel happy then, but what about the person whom you bought it from, he'll be at loss won't he? We need to start thinking about others before ourselves and need to stop overthinking because it ain't gonna do us much good , this will be the stepping stone to make a better society. If we want something we should just get it and not wait to make a profit. We are a community created for the people, by the people. (P.S. No hard feelings) I don't understand the reason for saying to stop investing in bitcoin. Remember that investing in here is the start of involvement. You can't have bitcoin and use it as a payment if you don't have one. It's very irrelevant so please enlighten me cause it's very misleading. Start by investing and using it as a payment is just a function. |

People buy lottery ticket all the time, that’s total fine, spending $5 here and there for fun. But if you mortgage your house to buy lottery tickets you are crazy.
Same thing with bitcoin. Spend a few grand for chuckle is fine, chances are you won’t see your money again. Heck I would pick up a few bitcoins too when it drops below $100.
If you spent your life savings buy Bitcoin, get out now while you still have something left! New crypto currencies are coming to replace BTC. Stop torment yourself everyday watching your money goes into red day after day after weeks after months.... you will spend your retirement working at McDonald’s trying to earn it back!
Maybe you're right sooner or later other cryptocurrencies will replace the lead of bitcoin someday, but it seems like and i feel you are only here to spread some fud  , you are not concern at all in my opinion. With the current struggle that bitcoin is involved that is still on going honestly it hurts so bad. But I don't think if it will kill our savings let's not forget the capability of bitcoin tototo overcome this kind of problem. I know that time will come for bitcoin to rise up again and make a comeback. It hurts but worth the wait. Honestly it hurts real bad and I'm so affected by the fact that bitcoin is in big trouble. ItsIt's getting into every single day but I don't lose hope and still believe that bitcoin will overcome this. There's still hope left for me andto I have a faith for bitcoin. It's worth a shot to trust bitcoin because I know the capability of it to handle this kind of trouble. |

this is really a funny post. At least been able to laugh in the current market condition, however, in the dip, it will really be an issue for the hackers. but I believe that market will be matured in coming days and will be able to grow more.
Are you serious about what you're saying? You have to be careful man each one of us here will be affected and that's not a good thing. Bitcoin is crashing and we will be hurt from that so we must hope that it will rise again. Let's pray that it will come back from its downfall so we'll be having a peaceful life and make a living. |

No, this isn't related to the Bitcoinica hack. The hack just makes the choices obvious and straightforward.
I, Zhou Tong (Zhou is my surname), will discontinue all involvement in Bitcoin-related projects after the Bitcoinica incident has been fully resolved until further notice.
I always believe in Bitcoin, or simply anything that brings people financial liberty. I have heavily invested in Bitcoin (I purchased one 1,000 BTC gold coin from Casascius and will keep it for as long as I can). And I have enjoyed what I have done for the Bitcoin community.
Really, thank you for all the wonderful support. It feels great to have an experimental project become the "best thing since sliced bread", and run one of the most profitable businesses in a new economy. Bitcoinica has a total historical revenue equivalent to about 0.67% of the whole Bitcoin economy. Not even Apple can match this record in the real world economies.
The first time I read about Bitcoin was in late 2010. My first reaction was "these coins are cheap, maybe it just doesn't work". I learned about Bitcoin again in mid 2011, when the first bubble started. I bought my first Bitcoin when it fell to $8. I told all my close friends and classmates about Bitcoin, simply because I think it's a cool idea. The idea of a margin trading platform quickly went into my mind, and I started working on Bitcoinica.
I lied about the time it took to build Bitcoinica. (I said I spent one week on it.) I started on September 4, 2011 and launched on September 9, 2011. Just four and half days. In a week, trading volume passed one million dollars. I started making profits like crazy.
In November, an investor approached me to acquire Bitcoinica. Due to regulatory concerns, I agreed to the deal and signed the agreement. Bitcoinica was sold for a good price. However, since the investor is unable to arrange for a replacement team, I continued to become the sole operator until Team Intersango took over two weeks ago. The investor let me keep all profits until late January, the official handover time. After handover, he continued to offer generous salary and performance bonus every month. The investor demands his identity to be protected so I won't share more information on this.
I left school in Singapore and decided to continue my education in Australia. I made the decision because of the Internet industry, and the hacker culture. I'm a web developer and I want to become a really good one. I want to work with smart hackers and wonderful designers to change the world. Singapore isn't particularly good at this. (Obviously, US West Coast should be a better choice, but for some other reasons I didn't consider US.)
I have started working on another project (not Bitcoin-related) that is going to make a little difference on the Internet. So far I have achieved great progress and I'm pretty confident about this new venture.
My life hasn't changed much except that I became more confident after Bitcoinica's success. I realized that I have the power to make something profitable. Such kind of confidence is extremely hard to get, until you really experience a significant success. I worked on several projects before, and all of them failed eventually. I thought I was confident because I kept building new stuff and improving myself. But the real confidence comes from the success itself.
I failed at one thing though, that is generating value for the society. Bitcoinica did create a place for people to trade more efficiently and provide liquidity to the market. However, speculation is a zero-sum game (or negative-sum, strictly saying). I know there can be many justifications for Bitcoinica's value, but all of them are against my intuition and values.
With the confidence and the innate intuition to build wonderful things for a better world, I decided to move on. I didn't quit Bitcoinica because it's the only source of income that I currently have.
I know that my time is valuable and industry establishment is really important. I don't want my name to be remembered by only Bitcoiners. It's true that I believe in Bitcoin's potential, but not everyone believes. If I'm a influential person I wouldn't have to do this, but the best way to be known in the Internet industry is to build products that save people time, money and headaches.
I'm going to be a young entrepreneur that solves problems for everyone. I leave Bitcoin only because it doesn't help address my real needs. Making money isn't that important after all.
I'll be a Bitcoin lover forever, and I will come back to this forum regularly to discuss about the future that's in our own hands! I will keep the 1,000 BTC gold coin as a lifetime investment and I'm pretty confident that it'll be the best investment ever in my life.
Bitcoin FTW!
Good luck for you man. You are very lucky because you own much number of bitcoin. I always do everything online for I can support my kids, I give much of my time and effort in doing bounty and signature campaigns but until now I have not own at least 1 bitcoin, but I am still happy at least I have earned for what I have done. You are free to make your own choice and it's up to you what it is gonna be. You just have to be firm and stand whatever the result may be. If you really want to leave bitcoin then you must do it without hesitation. We may have a different perspective but I will support you no matter what just do what you want. |

Well done to Kenya, anyone here tried that machine? I'll admit I was sceptical about these ATMs. Chiefly because of the high fees, and the fact you've to go out in public to buy them. Still not sure I like the idea of buying Bitcoin out in the open (never tried it myself). Also not sure where the appeal is coming from when it seems far easier/safer/cheaper to buy p2p.
But with the numbers of them growing all over the world, and in some of the weirdest places, I suppose they're making money after all. The two that opened in my country in 2014 eventually closed down and were never replaced. Maybe the world is finally ready for them.
Wow that was a great milestone and I felt proud for Kenya. It was a well done job and I'm hoping that it could be the start of new dynasty for bitcoin. It's just a proof of how strong bitcoin is and its capability to handle this kind of system. I'm looking forward for more of this kind of progress for bitcoin cause it offers a lot of opportunities. |

a great relief for South Korean Bitcoiners, miners and Ceypro investors, no doubt!
Wow it's a great news and that must be celebrated. Another milestone has set by bitcoin and for sure a lot of opportunities will come. It always nice to get news like this because it motivates us to strive for more. Just imagine the good effect of this to the bitcoin community. It will surely pave the way for more upcoming blessings. |

Bitcoin can definitely help in terms of international trade.
Whether that be between company and company trading, or individuals accessing goods and services from other countries. I think that bitcoin will serve a really important purpose in aiding the transactions in both scenarios, imho.
Traditional international pamyent methods used in internationl business/trade involve long clearing times (you would know if you ever used SWIFT), and huge fees that are paid to banks.
Bitcoin takes out both. Transactions are instant, and there is no foreign exchange fees or percentage fees involved. All there is is a small transaction fee, whatever the amount is. That is far greater and will defintely benefit businesses or even consumers who adopt BTC as a international form of payment for commercial activities.
Yes it is very true and I will stand with this statement. I strongly agree that bitcoin paves the way for the expansion of business worldwide. It created a lot of opportunities specially for small investors who wants toto get rich. Bitcoin gave us the chance to be involve in business so I agree with this. |

What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?
if you storetourbitcoin in any walletsthat uses privatekey or any password type it in your memo or print it so you cant forget about your key and make sure no one cant access your password so that your bitcoin is safe from scammers Well sad to say that could be a devastating experience for someone. That's the thing that you will wish not to happen with you. As long as you can avoid it then go for it. But if fate does not go on your favor then you must hope you can re open it. Accessing your account won't be easy but it's worth a shot. |
