I disagree. It depends on how much do you need for living. In the beginning of 90s 10$ per month was enough for one person to live in Ukraine. It's not like this here anymore but I'm pretty sure there are some countries where situation is close to what was in Ukraine 25  years ago. But even if you need more, say $70 per month, it's possible to make this amount with a good sig campaign.

No man, you can't earn no easy cash, sorry. To make money is never easy and those who think otherwise often lose everything they have. Don't trust those who say they can easily double your money.

And here we go again. "Cloud mining". "the cheapest maintenance fee i have ever seen". Guys are you even seriuos? Many many times it was said on this forum that cloud mining is a scam scheme, especially it offers "the cheapest maintenance fee". Please don't fall for that.

Many people in this thread, including me, predict that in 20 years Bitcoin will cost from $10k to $20k. Of course those numbers make sense only if the buying capacity of USD will be the same as it is today.

In short to retire in 20 years you'll need from 100 to 200 BTC.

I agree. Greed is a bad thing for you. Even those of us who are not reading Bible or any other religious book know that. It's hard to not become greedy if you gamble but if you managed to do that than gamble is not a sin, I guess )

Switzerland is a great country. Not ideal, but one of the best in the world. What's unusual there is that the government is really caring about their people and at least is not preventing the citizens to make the life more convenient.

Of course using Bitcoins makes your life more convenient.

Yes, most people here share your thoughts, I think. But many of us, if not the most part, are gambling nevertheless. I'm sorry you lost a lot. Get back more than you lost and never gamble with big amounts or never gamble at all(which is almost impossible, that's why I always recommend people to gamble just for fun with small amounts).

If someone thinks that destroying part of the coins will make remaining coins more valuable the person is wrong IMO. In othter words you should destroy a large part, say more than 50% of all existing coins, to make others just slightly more valuable, but no one on Earth owns such a big part of them.

Actually some of them accept Bitcoin already but they are in the UK. As for the USA, well, they are thinking about it:

And I generally support the idea that all sex industries would use Bitcoin. Everyone will benefit from that.

IMO if US gov has anything to do with 9/11 we'd already know this for sure. I mean guys like Snowden would let us know. Although I don't see US gov as perfect and flawless I don't think they would kill so much of their own people intentionally.

I disagree with this. Satoshi is a human being and like all human being he's not perfect so he may make mistakes, may say wrong things etc. This human actions, whatever bad they might be, can't make an impact on such a great thing like Bitcoin. People will use Bitcoin regardless of whether Satoshi is a good person or not.

PrimeDice is one of the most reputable gambling sites around. I personally many times withdrawed money from the site without any problems. I'm not saying you should deposit your Bitcoins there because gambling is a gambling and most likely you'll lose them all, what I'm saying is that the site is legit and good to use.

Bitcoin won't disappear in the nearest future. Bitcoin is already part of today's world and it can't disappear if the world stays. It's impossible to imagine what happens if mobile phones disappear nowadays. Almost same with Bitcoin.

First of, it's a good investment. I'd say it's the best investment IMO. Other than that, you can transfer some amount to any part of the world and it will be easier and cheaper than using Western Union for example.

I agree with you that Hillary will be the next president, but why are you saying that religion will be banned. I can't understand how is it possible to come to this conclusion hearing all what she says. I think even Trump wouldn't ban any religion if he was elected.

Actually dollar is accepted in almost every country. I mean you could easily exchange dollar on local currency almost everywhere. Bitcoin on the other hand is not so easy to exchange. But I agree with you that in the future Bitcoin has better chances than dollar to become the global currency, because I think Bitcoin will be more trusted in the future than dollar.

From my experience all those who say they bacame rich from gambling they just not telling the truth. Yes they might would win from time to time and sometimes they even win big, but that's because they spend a lot, they were rich before they started gambling.

Exactly. Same thing might happen to anyone who will try to controll Bitcoin. Also when de beers was controlling almost everything in the filed of diamonds people wouldn't throw away their diamonds and they wouldn't stop buying them, right? What I'm saying is that IMO it shouldn't a big problem to Bitcoin if a corporation controlls large part of them.

Hundred times NO. Why the fact that most Bitcoins are mined now in China should be a problem? Most diamonds are mined in Central and Southern Africa and how exactly this affects the valuableness of diamonds?

haha, nice. I don't have such big amount, so I will not sell mine. I'll wait until it reaches $50k and then maybe I'll sell some. 

But even then I doubt I will have anything around 225000$. You are rich. )
