Sorry, it might seem like a newbie question, but I am thinking (brainstorming) about getting involved in mining. Are 1000Watts ATX (HP) or Corsair Power Supplies good (efficient) enough to run 4 GPUs cards (say R9 480X/490X)? Or should I go for EVGA as a safe bet? Which one would be the best for its value?

Wow, I wish someone would have told me about Bitcoin back when its price was like $2-$4! But no one even knows its name here to talk about it — I knew it by a coincidental search on Google. I knew and started using Bitcoin when its price was ranging between $620-$700, I didn't buy it, however. Looking at it now, I regret not buying it – I would have gained double of what I would have invested in only 6 months .

Well, smartphones are not that bad. They depend on what you use them for, pretty much like any other technology. I, myself, am not addicted to my phone (I'm addicted to my PC, though ), because I don't like Social Media Platforms such as Facebook, What's App, etc. However, I see that they could affect people's lives in a good way. It eased my father's work, for example.

Dah, that's not a bag holding . Bag-holders are traders who bought some altcoins at a price, couldn't sell them at a higher price, and crossing fingers (waiting with hope and wishing luck) that the price would pump so that they can sell with profits, which, in my opinion, is a very newbie mistake in trading – if you can't sell that coin after a day or two at a higher price than purchased, then you should sell it and minimize your losses.

On topic, I was a bag holder of some shitty unknown coins when I first started trading on YoShit, but now I got experience enough to know when to buy and when to sell.

Wait a minute, where were the previously mentioned altcoins pumped? And when? I have been trading and watching (really up close) the most popular exchanges for any changes in prices since last week, and I haven't seen any of these coins being pumped, that is why I am asking. Maybe PIVX has pumped this week, but not x20 times!

So that is why it was loading excessively slow. My internet connection is slow anyway, but this explains why it was unusually, annoyingly, irritatingly slow. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, finally. Some good news that one never thought to hear. I guess since LTC is a clone of BTC, we would see the true influence of SegWit – whether it's good or bad. It was a good thing that LTC was created – to test and apply anything wanted to be implemented in Bitcoin, and to see what would happen.

Of course, everyone knows about IQOption. But I have heard about Binomo from Binary Options traders — IQOption traders —  (did not use it myself), and I could summarize it all up to 'Better stay away if you don't know.' This platform is not good – they are promoting and promising what they can't get achieved. I am not saying it's not legit, but better stay away.

Oh really? Then, why do you waste your 'precious' time on a forum that is related to that 'doomed experiment project'? Bitcoin have survived a lot for almost 8 years, and still continues to be much more stronger than ever.

On topic, In my opinion, I think that Bitcoin is both – a store of value and digital cash. While bitcoin is serving as a long-term investment (i.e., digital gold), it also offers a great payment method within itself (i.e., digital cash).

I wish there was a policy on fees, but unfortunately, it's an open market where transactions with high paid fees get accepted first. Although I strongly believe that your transaction fee was too high due to smaller transactions received, I think that your incident's explanation is what BitcoinPanther said above, otherwise it would be really hard to understand.

Losing Bitcoins and coming to complain after is a very common act for dice gamblers. And we only see excuses – no one is blaming himself for what he did. So you are blaming the casino for your losses? And you are 100% sure that whatever strategies you have used are not the main culprit behind your loss, but it's the house unfairness (feeling "cheated"), right?
I don't honestly know what to say – sorry for your loss and you gotta move on, or sorry, but you deserved it.

Three words – fees, fees, and fees. And I don't think SegWit will be making any progress on that matter (it might even make it worse). I hope the developers are thinking rationally about this before blindly applying anything that may hurt bitcoin in the long run.

Are you hyping for the altcoin that fills your pockets? 
I am sure that Litecoin's price will spike hard after the SegWit implementation, but not like what people expects (i.e., 0.1 Bitcoin per 1 Litecoin).

Lovely. We all are speaking about the future of bitcoin, which we don't know a thing about, and everyone is talking about adoption, that we can't guarantee bitcoin would fit for, while there is a scaling issue we have on hand that could destroy what we are dreaming for this beautiful innovation. I think there will be no future for bitcoin, if we can't scale it yet.

If 'some newbies' invest in BTU because some trusted members have said so, then they deserve it, lol.
I have anticipated that the first to respond on a thread about shilling like this one would be likely the biggest shills on this forum – franky1 and jonald_fyookball.
Nice thread, OP. Though, what can we, bitcoiners, do about this? How to 'fightback' shills? 

Looking at their project, I don't see anything useful, nor achievable (they are promising for 'unhackable' platforms, etc., which is quite hard to believe). Besides, the ICO manager got tagged with red trust, that doesn't give much of a comfort for any real investor.

"You will make peanuts" if you invest peanuts – it all depends on your capital. Bots are better than human, especially in trading – they never get emotionally attached to altcoins, get nervous, or get panicked. You give it input, and should expect a result – you mess up, you blame yourself not the bot. And GUNBOT seems to be the most popular one, as far as I've seen. 

Really, they can. You said it yourself, "people are able to buy bitcoin using their facilities." How about limiting the mount of cash/fiat you are able to buy bitcoin with, hence, you will be limited on Bitcoin as well, as long as you limit yourself to their facilities, of course.

It's funny to see people wanting a 7-8 years old currency going international just like that. Bitcoin is not ready to be used globally just yet – it still has flaws and limitations (drawbacks actually) that need to be resolved first, then to think about going "international." Besides, can you name 10 countries legalizing the use of bitcoin (not just accepting it with caution)?

Well. Maybe you can do what I did. I had like 0.3BTC and I wanted cash (Bitcoin price was around $750 at that time), and also didn't like the high fees because it would take a big chunk of my cash. All I did was going to an exchange with the highest possible BTC/USD price and the lowest possible fees, putting my bitcoins there, exchanging to USD, making an online processing account (like PayPal, for example), Sending the money to that account, going to a reputable bank, asking for something called Internet Visa (which was too cheap), adding that Visa to my account, withdrawing money! (The withdrawal process was free!)

It's tedious, but was worth it for me. You can do this, or of course, save your time and sell on LocalBitcoins.com. (If you are able to find a Moroccan trader on LocalBitcoins, he would save your day.)
