I don't think the fees are going to "kill" bitcoin. But in the long run, making bitcoin less used as of today, yes for sure
The problem with high fees is that eventually the fees can be so high that the amount of bitcoin that you have in your wallet is enough to pay for the transaction in itself, this is happening with faucets but it may happen also to all of those that make microtransactions in bitcoin. Then don't use faucets... they're just time wasters anyway. I don't know about you but I'm worth a hell of a lot for then 10 cents an hour thank you very much. Spending one input right now is about 30 cents if it's low-medium priority (so it confirms within a few hours). That's not a huge amount of you're dealing with decent sized (in terms of monetary value) inputs.

...? When people say the moon it's just saying basically the sky is the limit. There's no certain price that would be a moon landing. Maybe something ridiculous like 100k or 1M.
Your taking this post abit to serious, i do understand what it means to say we are going to the moon, i was just wanting to gauge what people thought was the price when bitcoin had made it. and i dont think bitcoin will ever reach a million. Oh sorry I thought you were asking a question to be answered not to cause stupid nonsense answers for signature spammers. My mistake.

The ultimate boot Cd has what like 100 different applications? Which one did he use? Assuming he didn't overwrite everything with zeros (if it took a few hours then he probably did this) you're probably screwed but like a previous answer said if it was a quick format the information is technically still there until it's written over. It's a bad analogy but it's kind of like recording over a tape. The original is still there until you write over it.

Obviously the benefit is that they're going up a lot over time. I got into bitcoins in 2015 so I've never been through a huge dump. I hang onto coins because I always think of it as "if I spend these today, next months they'll be worth 120% of what I just spent. Am I getting a good enough deal on this? No?" Then I keep them. Forever.

The thing is, when you're using a mixer even if you receive tainted coins everyone knows it came from a mixer so they aren't really tainted coins. It sort of puts a break in the blockchain because you'll have to do some guesswork to see who was actually making a transaction at any given time.

Ok I'll bite. What the hell are you trying to say? You don't make at least $1/hr and you're hoping to? Or you're annoyed because you're going to be taxed?

Omg of course they're mdsn. We all know they'll only work for a limited time. Also, why would I ever trust a random cracked version of Windows with anything important!?

Everything in the OP is true but it doesn't change the fact that we have a lot of day traders taking advantage of people's emotions. If they hear the news they buy up in the hopes that everyone else buys up too, then dump when the bad news comes out.

Is literally every casino like that or are there any legit ones that actually payout and respect the anonymity of bitcoin?
Bitcoin101: they are NOT anonymous. They're the exact opposite. Literally every transaction you make is public. Now that we have that cleared, why exactly do you need anonymous gambling? Doing some money laundering? that'll be the first place the feds look.

It fundamentally can not recover as the community refuses to accept solutions to the scalong problem. Of course manipulation can still do things but it's nothing stable. As long as we do not fix bitcoin it can not grow!
When you talk like that you actually make some sense. You're obviously smarter than you act a lot of the times on bitcointalk. What exactly needs to be done in order to fix it though? No one can agree so the only thing I can see happening is a hard fork.

Why is it always new members selling these giftcards? It's almost like it's the same handful of people making accounts over and over again trying to scam people.
What escrow are you going to use? Where were these cards purchased from? You can show us the receipts right?
Real question wre is where foes these newbies get these high value amazon gift cards and they are even offerig a discount. Are these cracked or stolen or something? They usually are. We'll see how OP responds. If they were purchased with cash and he has the receipts I'm interested. Otherwise it's clearly a scam.

ETFs are obsolete. Buy your own bitcoins, don't talk to a banker about how you're going to buy your bitcoins through him. Pay them their commission and regulatory fees etc. Screw all of that, why wouldn't I just put everything into a paper wallet and store it in a safe (or maybe even a very useful sated deposit box in a bank ).

Apparently no one cares. We're seeing pretty stable climbing numbers now. I would have ht most people had bought on speculation but apparently it wasn't a huge amount of bitcoiners. I'm glad to see it either way!!

I was very surprised to see that most of the money I lost yesterday was recouped. Bitcoins have a lot stronger backing of people that don't care about the ETF. We're at the true value right now.

You're ok with an escrow holding your collateral but you don't offer anything. This is bizarre. What do you have that you could offer as collateral? Digital or physical goods?

The drop of the price is not so much to start to buy bitcoins. I am waiting for the fall under of 1000$ to buy couple mBTC, before that I will not even move.
Well I wonder if we ever see 3 digit mark again I highly doubt it. We already recovered most of the ground lost yesterday after a huge letdown. I'm sure we'll never dip below $1000 unless a huge hack happens.

Send it with a smaller fee! Who cares! It's going into cold storage anyways so send it @20 satoshis/byte and never look back. Quit your bitching Jesus. The fees aren't high, they're just higher than usual right now.
