1301  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: how much can you make weekly? on: August 01, 2015, 11:38:53 PM
I'm very confused..
I'm new in bitcoin and I think signature campaign for newbie is hard..
Any advice beside faucets? Should I be patience for 100 days(get full member) by only posting&doing faucets.. Or I should try new way beside signature campaign and faucets?

I think you should go for senior member accounts which pay higher rates as compared to newbie or full member account, and again you need to wait for the right signature campaign who pays a good amount of btc and also need to take care that its an genuine campaign.

well you can join already at some signatures ,soo you can maximize your earnings here ,if you got some money try to make something new ,maybe a new game ,maybe a new way to get bitcoins.

Yes Signature Campaigns are the good source to earn bitcoins, and the payout is guaranteed so there is no risk involved in it. I am 1 BTC per month from the signature campaigns and I believe it is a descent amount to earn.

For me, 1 BTC is like a extra income taking care of my basic stuffs like bills, grocery stuff and I am very much satisfied with it, in future I would use my luck in trading.

1 BTC is a huge amount!
At 0.0011 per post based on your rank and bit-x's payouts that would require over 900 posts a month or 30 a day... at that point you really are just spamming.

I like the sig campaigns since I can get a little extra BTC for doing what I already do, post about 20-30 posts per week and receiving 0.02-0.03 per week.

I have 4 accounts dude. I am not saying that I am earning it from a single account.  How can one earn from a single account a value of 1 BTC, it is simply impossible. Other 3 accounts are handled by my friends. And I am just helping them out to earn extra income for them as well.

1303  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: August 01, 2015, 08:48:54 PM
Definitely Bitcoin. The problem with gold is that it is manipulated and suppressed by the "powers that be". They have no such control over Bitcoin.

Gold cannot be subject to pump and dump because of its huge market cap.
That isn't the case with bitcoins.  Smiley

Gold is always a better option then bitcoins. Bitcoins users are very less as compared to the Gold, and Gold is more trustworthy, as people are investing in it since a long time, and that is the reason people assume that Gold is the safe investment to make, Older generation doesn't believes in investing in Crypto and the reason is they haven't used it.
1304  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: August 01, 2015, 08:45:36 PM
We live in a random, disorderly, unjust world. If you are in the right place at the right time you can make more money than someone else that works harder than you everyday could possibly earn over 100 lifetimes.

You speak about the luck quota. Some people have a lot of it, some people have ran out of it years ago. There is simply no substitute for hard work and there is no easier way than luck. If a hard working person turns out to be lucky enough, that very person is bound to reach phenomenal heights with his vision and passion. Sometimes, its all in our mind and if we perceive ourselves and our situations to be lucky, then indeed we are Wink

There is a substitute for hard work and that is Smart Work, If you work smart then I guarantee you that you can be more successful then those who works hard.

And if we are discussing hear about the luck factor, then I would rather find a super rich girl who is only daughter of her father and get married to her and get rich in a single day, that is the best way to get rich  Grin
1305  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks Suck on: August 01, 2015, 08:39:27 PM
Interest rates offered by banks aren't worth the risk of having your money stored over there. I would consider it if I could at least make a passive income out of it, but the only people living off thin air by interest due having their savings on a bank are already rich people anyway. Normal people get peanuts off having their wealth on banks.

If you have millions in bank, then you get good returns as the capital is huge, but for an ordinary guy who is earning a average salary, doesn't gives good returns as the capital is low, so he would surely not deposit his funds in bank, he would rather choose an alternative investment where he is earning higher interest rates. Banks are not for normal people earning average salary.
1306  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Be Honest. We Are Waiting for $100/BTC to buy on: August 01, 2015, 08:34:11 PM
Yeah I wait it too.
But I think if 100$/BTC the price is only getting down, not getting higher Cry

yes, very few people will have interest to invest in bitcoin anymore, I don't think the bitcoin users can handle another crash. So many people who bought at 1000$ will be heartbroken to see their investment value at 10 percent now. I think if hits so low, there will be no point investing in it, I would definitely get out of the bitcoin world if such a situation takes place.

I would do the same, no point in staying and investing in bitcoins and need to face the reality, that if bitcoin gets $100 or less, then I think it would be the end of bitcoins, and then we can't expect that it would reach $500 mark in the future, and if it does it would surely take a long time to reach that level. And it would be just a waste of time.
1307  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: August 01, 2015, 08:28:14 PM
Bitcoin, absolutely. Bitcoin will be the next payment system and will rise much more. Gold as payment system is old school idea but its important for industry.

If you want to choose bitcoin over gold, there are a lot of reasons to do that but what kind of a reason is that it will be the next payment system? Gold stopped being a payment system years ago. If you want to compare bitcoin and gold, you should compare it by comparing its qualities as a currency. Qualities like medium of exchange, unit of account, portability, durability, divisibility, fungibility, store of value point out that bitcoin is much more advanced than gold.

That's true, bitcoin is much more advanced than gold, but I still have faith in gold that it would survive for many years, on the other hand bitcoin is unpredictable as there would many other digital currencies in the future which can replace bitcoins.

The only thing I like about bitcoins over the gold is the amount that you can carry with you in your digital wallet is unknown to anyone. Whereas you cannot carry a large amount of gold across the countries, or else customs can put you in trouble.
1308  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: August 01, 2015, 08:23:04 PM
Hahaha its not impossible that the bitcoin price goes up, because we all know that the stability of the price is not stable and change in every hour.
Yeah actually I am same with you, hoping bitcoin price goes up someday atleast reach $500, but I cant see anything that can become a trigger to make its price goes up rapidly. With Greek crisis, its price went up just around $50.

Of course is a risk, Antonopoulous always says so himself, BTC is very high risk investment, but as should you know, if you play in the high risk leave, you play in the high rewards league (assuming big losses league are included, but things look good).
I prefer to do sport gambling then, which dont need long time to get the result. Its really very risky to make bitcoin as long term investment.

I would do the same. Investing bitcoin for a short term is an good idea. And that also in gambling its like just one day investment. You have results at the end of the day, you win or loose, its a matter of luck and also the risk involved in gambling. But if luck favors than that would be the best day, and with winning amount would buy some bitcoins when price goes down  Wink
1309  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: August 01, 2015, 08:16:22 PM
On what would the value of bitcoin be based? Like the euro it is a baseless currency with a value dependent on demand.

everything depend on demand, i don't know what you're traying to say with this, but if the dollar ever collapse and bitcoin replace it the value would be astronomically high, this want happen soon this is guaranteed
but the possibility is there, it's in the hands of the people not governments, if anybody will use bitcoin, bitcoin price will explode otherwise otherwise it will only be used as an alternative


Yeah, looking at the present scenario it is difficult to judge that bitcoin can ever replace any major currency, as the users of bitcoins are comparatively low as compared to USD or any other currency and the reason is the adoption level of bitcoins.

If adoption level goes high, then there are chances that it can replace USD, or else it might just be used as a secondary currency.
1310  Economy / Economics / Re: Government & Bitcoin on: August 01, 2015, 08:11:21 PM
Bitcoins will be hard for them to stop without shutting down the entire internet. Should a government act against bitcoin, it would drive the price through the roof.

There are already a few governments which have acted against bitcoin, and how do you think has that helped bitcoin? It is thrown around in the media negatively, residents of a country are thereby even restricted to use it because it is banned in their country now. Also, bitcoins doesn't have such a strong backing by a lot of people that the whole internet will be fighting for them. I don't think the internet or the people care about bitcoin as much as you believe they do.

That is the main reason that bitcoin is not into mainstream, as many governments have already banned the use of bitcoins in their countries, and the rest care is taken by the media who is continuously involved in spreading negative views related to bitcoins and that is the reason bitcoin is not gaining popularity as people have many other options in compare to bitcoins.
1311  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin dead? on: August 01, 2015, 08:07:36 PM

yeah we cannot say that bitcoin is already mainstream because there such people who know what is bitcoin really are, and most of people are didn't yet know the bitcoin and also more people more likely to used their own currency than bitcoin, because they though that bitcoin is NETWORKING :3

The only way bitcoin could be assumed mainstream when there is a significant amount of people enough to stop transacting in any other currency except bitcoin. The amount of people who would desire this evolution would be enough to cause a change/effect loss in the market if they did not buy anything despite being potential customers of this organization/business/etc. As of now, bitcoin stands not mainstream.
Yes we could say that if most of people used bitcoin not totally all, but its a long time to happened that situation, we can only do is still support and used bitcoin or buy bitcoin to maintain its price so that users will not go and leave the bitcoin community.

I think there are more ways to support bitcoin than just using bitcoin, we can really help bitcoin if we actually make it a part of our life. We should talk about it to other people or else get more involved with other people in the community and make apps and websites which drive more potential users to the bitcoin world which educates and also benefits them

yes, mouth publicity is the biggest publicity in the world, For eg If you watch a movie and tell your friend that it was worth to spend money on it, other 10 guys will go and watch the movie, same goes with the bitcoin too. We need to spread the awareness level among the people around us, if publicity is done in the proper way then surely the bitcoin users would be more in future.
1312  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: August 01, 2015, 08:03:16 PM
The only money I save is through buying Bitcoin I've personally never had so much money at any given time in my savings.

I think that has happened because you have not made any other external use of your btc by investing it into something, gambling, etc. You're a hodler and you will not let go until it is a very very big market. That is a good thing but I advise you to play a little with your bitcoins and maybe invest them into something you think has a future, or better yet gamble with the coins you think you can afford to lose. Sometimes you will comeback with lot more you think you were ready to let go.

Suggesting someone to gamble with their money / BTC in order to save money is the worst and funniest thing I've read this week.. Overal, you loose money with gambling. Yes, there's a chance that you win money, but - in the end - there is always a bigger chance that you loose money (as the casino / dice website etc has an house edge in order to be profitable).

Investing might be a good advise - as long as you invest well and in the right project. That's very hard too..

I had the same ideology till a week ago, I was really tired of how things were working out for me and decided to gamble with 0.5 btc. I guess I was either really good at online casino or I was really lucky but I did make 6x of what I started with. I think gambling is fun when you have money to gamble. It is all about discipline too, you should know when to stop. I see a lot of negativity about gambling because a lot of people end up losing, its okay, to each his own Smiley
Haha its a great for you but for the others gambling is a bad idea or a bad way to grow their coins. And many of people have a negative though about bitcoin because they are the one who lose their money because of gambling.

Human being is a only animal on a planet who is greedy. I Agree what you said that people starts blaming bitcoins if they have loose their bitcoins in gambling. And for sure everyone out here have taken a chance on gambling to grow their bitcoins in a quick way.
But I'm sure many of them have turned up loosing at the end of the day, It is a human nature that if he wins for the first time he will continue to play unless he don't loose everything  Cheesy
1313  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: August 01, 2015, 07:56:58 PM
The jobs directly involved with Bitcoin development will require you an engineer degree minimum, so it's a small %.
The rest of the jobs are also coding related, and then trading, not much else. Anything that doesn't involve coding is basically gambling, not a "true" job in the classic sense (for me someone that makes crypto trading for a living doesn't have a "true" job), sure skill is needed but it's too unstable. Sig campaign is obviously not a true job, just nice extra.

Yeah, you cannot treat Gambling as a job, as it is truly based on the luck factor, one day you win and next ten days you turned up loosing, as for fun it is good, but your life depending on gambling doesn't sound great.

On the other hand, signature campaigns are just a source to earn bitcoins or you can call it as a part time income to take care of your day to day expenses, Surely one will not quit his job for the sake of bitcoins. As the job provides financial security to a person and his family.
1314  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN going up or down on: July 21, 2015, 11:28:27 PM
I though bitcoin will go up again this month but right now bitcoin value is declining , im not sure about the reason or maybe the value of US Dollars are rising , any thought on this guys?

What I have seen in last one week the value is going relatively high. Its not extreme high but the investment I made was lower comparing to present prices. So I am already into profits and it will still go higher in the next month, not sure but lets hope for the best.
Yes , last week was probably the best in terms of its rise value but this week , it all come half way down in terms of value , but i'm still hopeful that the price will do go up again

Yeah, last week was really good for the bitcoins and for the users of bitcoin as the prices were actually climbing relatively high. So I converted few bitcoins to my local currency and honestly I had to spend very less bitcoins as the prices were high so by selling a part of it I received good value in terms of fiat.
1315  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin dead? on: July 21, 2015, 11:22:47 PM
Bitcoin is not dead. Bitcoin can't be dead, at least not now. There are so many users selling and buying Bitcoin daily, and there are still new and new people coming to Bitcoin, they are buying and selling too. You can't stop it. I don't believe Bitcoin will crash to $100, but I don't believe Bitcoin will go up to $10000. I will be very glad if the price is stable $1000.

Crashing to 100$ or less wont mean that bitcoin is dead, bitcoin wont be dead unless it stops being used or people stop mining, but we already saw that people wont stop using it just because there is a price drop, it was 1200$ and now it is 300~ and people still use it, more than ever.

Because people, same as me, hope for that $1200 price will come again and they can sell their BTC. People are making and holding BTC just to sell it at $1000. Try to find thread about people saying when they would sell their BTC, it's quite interesting thread to read if you are boring and you can see typical signature spammers, trolls and now the important: people with good view on it and with interesting things to say. I can't find it now but I'm sure it's here.

Im pretty sure those who would sell at 1000$ or around that number would only do it if the price increases fast enough, let me explain, imagine that in a week from now the price goes to 1000$, a lot of people will sell around that number fearing that the price will go down at any moment and the price will go down most likely, however if the price increases slowly in a period of time of over a year, im sure people wont sell at 1000$ because the price would be stable at that price.

This is true. But it depends on a lot of factors and nobody can say it like this. You can be right, or not.. it can be fast, or not..
Nobody knows, if it goes slowly up I won't sell my BTC, because it will go up even more or just stay at it. But if it's fast like in a few days I would definitely sell at least half of my BTC, because it can go down and if no, I have still my another half.
Yeah thats right most of users are waiting for that time, when the price of bitcoin goes up. Then they get the opportunity to sell their coins with high price. But that time the chinese market crashed.

Yeah we all are waiting that the prices should climb in the coming years so could sell part of it and make some profit out of it. And Bitcoin is neither dead nor dying, If it was dead than there wouldn't be so long discussion here for this long pages and once it hits the mainstream it will create an revolution in the world as internet did.

It is only dead in the minds of people who are not using it or who are against it. And the government and media has played a major role in the negative publicity of bitcoins. As the society is very much influenced by the media so they just listen what news are published rather then putting their own efforts in understanding the issue.
1316  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: July 21, 2015, 11:19:13 PM
I think gold would be riskier to keep and harder to sell/spend, so I would go with bitcoin. The main drawback I see on BTC is, of course, its high volatility, but I expect it to get a bit calmier in the upcoming years.

It would be more stable when the mass adoption takes place and when the mass acceptance will come into play where everyone will start accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment. So investing in bitcoin is a good option but still people have more faith in gold as it has been into existence since long time.
1317  Economy / Economics / Re: Did Bitcoin Ruin Your Life, Or Help Your Life? on: July 21, 2015, 11:13:53 PM
Well I don't give Bitcoin that much priority in my life that it can control my emotions. I just simply look at it as a tool. I am not concerned about anything happened in the bitcoin network.

You will feel regret someday if you don't pay attention what is happening with bitcoin or what the factor that affect bitcoin price. It will be useless if you get much bitcoin in future but the price has went down and you didn't aware about it. I bet you never tell your friends about bitcoin.

Yeah then I think you should concentrate on your job if you are not concerned with the the bitcoin network. And yes it hasn't ruined my life as well it has helped me out in earning some extra money which is adding value to my standard of living which was not possible with the salary that I am earning.
1318  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to turn 2BTC into 4BTC on: July 21, 2015, 11:08:08 PM
I would personally just sit on it and allow the price of bitcoin to raise.  if it were easy turn 2BTC into 4BTC, then you also can  turn 4BTC into 8BTC . everyone would be rich

But for that you need to have patience as we are not aware that when the prices will climb and reach to a next level where we earning almost double of the investment we made while buying the bitcoins. So just sitting and waiting for the prices to raise is not a good idea in fact you should start making efforts like trading,mining,gambling etc.

I would choose to gamble with bitcoins. That is the quickest way to convert your 2 btc to 4 btc. If luck favors you on that particular day then you can even make 10 btc in a single day depending on the odds and the sport that you are gambling. I would prefer to gamble on soccer or may be horse racing.
1319  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: July 21, 2015, 11:02:10 PM
If anything at all I want to spend my coins, not sell them, I am not a coin collector. I bought some pizza and it tasted extra good, just like the coffee of acquafredda Smiley

If the price goes up, it would mean I can spend even more bitcoin and buy more stuff, hooray for consumerism!

it is the dawn of bitcoin, still, so the most people can do is hold and hope or if they are in it for a quick buck buy and sell to make some more.

Whenever I can I sell some when they're high enough and I rebuy them when they're low.
I always try to keep my btc stash and, when I can, to increase it.

But, as for the coffee, and a dinner I started to use them.

It feels nice...

Cheesy

Its a great feeling to use it for a cup of coffee or for a dinner with the family and I would keep on spending as and when required and would love to keep on earning too but one thing is sure I would never sell all my bitcoins, it is better spending rather then selling. As once you sold it and then you might keep on regretting in future. So it is better to hold bitcoins.
1320  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: July 21, 2015, 10:55:49 PM
ofcourse i chose gold

why ?
because bitcoin will bankrupt / smthing

and gold u can keep it until u die xD
no one investment is safe, not gold,bitcoin,property or etc. every investment have a risk and gold in this year drop -40%

No investment guarantees you the success. It is better to diversify the investments in different products. But for me I choose Gold over bitcoin as Gold have many satisfied customers who have invested in the past and have earned good profits too. So I would choose to invest in Gold rather then bitcoins.


To invest you must risk, we can see in history how often people lose by their investment or didnt get all the invest at the end

Risk will always follow when it comes to invetment. No investment is sure shot success. The luck factor is also important when it comes to an investment. And I think real estate is one field which is better then bitcoin or gold as the value keeps on increasing day by day and after 5 to 10 years your investment is almost doubled.
