When the shit hits the fan, I will stock up on some cigarettes. I am not a smoker, but there are loads of people who are, and that will be to my benefit. Smoking is a addiction and most people will trade food for a cigarette. ^hmf^
I think Bitcoin will survive as a currency, but fiat will always be around because it is in abundance. The only problem is, it will still be worthless and more practical to use as toilet paper. ^LoL^

I'd say do signature campaign combined with faucetbox faucets, that will get you close.
Signature campaign alone would give you even $3 per hour if you have a Hero Member account and post 10 per hour. For a person like me who stays in this forum for more than 10 hours, I could easily get $30 in a day if I wanted to, but that requires a lot of work and time in my end. Well, better than doing nothing, that's for sure. That will also get you banned for signature spamming.  The most people can earn on this forum per week on average is about $10 - $14 if they stay within the rules. The signature campaigns are not created to earn a income, only to reward people for their time to post naturally on the forum. I receive roughly $4 per week with my signature campaign, and I just hoard it directly to cold storage. Let's not promote signature spamming for people to acquire a daily income. ^hmf^ |

Seriously, why do you ask to earn +/- $3 per day, with those skills? In my country most people begging for money on street corners get more than that.  How high is the unemployment levels in your country? Or do you want to earn some extra money on the side? I would rather post this in the market section of this forum, if I were you. Good luck, hope you find something. |

One thing I have learned about introducing the Bitcoin topic to women is this : 1. Do not introduce it, when more women is around. <They do not think geek talk is cool, when they are with other women. 2. Do not introduce it, when men are around. <That distract from the primary goal> 3. Individual one-on-one discussions is ok, if she is interested and it should not dominate the discussion. Social interaction in groups are always a difficult setting to talk about serious topics. |

If I may ask, where did you get the name for your site? I used Google Translate and I set it to detect the language and it detected it as Afrikaans and it meant Boys? Is this where your name originate from? It is not Dutch, because boys in Dutch is <jongetjes> Would be nice to know, if you are willing to share with us.  When I use a service and they use a strange name, I always ask. ^hmf^ |

In most of the disaster areas I have been before, the first thing people are worried about, would be clean drinking water and food and getting the families together. So the emergency services give aid in that regard for the first few days.
Mobile telecommunication stations are moved into the area to provide for people to phone their relatives.
Most of the cellphone towers are situated on the highest possible areas, and will not be affected anyways. It's only the power that might be the problem, but emergency services provide access to power, if you want to charge your cellphone.
Bitcoin is not the ultimate solution, and you can always have some fiat currency stashed with your Bug out bag, if you want to trade for those few days, until the most basic services are restored.
This is not such a big deal, when everything is destroyed around you. You can trade with any item, if it comes down to that. < A watch or a ring or shoes > ^hmf^

Whatever happens is bad news for Bitcoin. This whole fork thing has spread enough confusion for business to second guess their decision to accept BTC as a payment method. Most people using Bitcoin without the technical knowledge, do not even know about the possible fork.
The businesses out there needs stability and trust in the currency they use and Bitcoin is not providing that at the moment. It is sadly all about Blockstream and The Lighting network and what profits engineers can make from this.

I have searched for you on this badlist http://www.badbitcoin.org/thebadlist/index.htm#C and you are not on there, so the first box is ticked. If I may ask, why did you not promote this service more widely from the start? This is the first time I hear about this service, where did we miss this? Will you expand your service to accept other fiat currencies too? or are you restricted to the Euro? |

lets imagine it this way..
lets accept that the NSA has full access to all our data.
dont get me wrong, i dont like 3rd parties having my information. but you have to ask yourself, if you put your information out-there either letting it pass through your ISP or put onto facebook, or having an online bank account as oppose to a bill-by-post account then you are just asking for your data to be spread.
now.. the important part
out of 7 billion people, what are the chances that the NSA would even look at your data specifically, investigating you and looking at everything you do for official reasons?
i personally dont care about NSA having access to my data, because chances are id never be investigated.. but im more concerned about my privacy in regards to random people. even people temping and subcontracted to the NSA, or hackers, or ex-girlfriends trying to get at my data for their own amusement or to use it against me in someway.
so dont worry about the NSA as an institution because unless your doing anything illegal, theres nothing to worry about..
but do worry about the PEOPLE that could get their hands on your data for unofficial reasons. and as i said that can include nsa employee's.
afterall if you personally worked for the police or fbi, wouldnt you be tempted to search out stuff on your neighbour or exgirlfriend..
Most of us believe this, until you say something on a forum or Facebook or Twitter that they flagged as a possible threat to the USA. The topic could have been flagged out of context, but the software scanning the communication could isolate your words from those 6 billion people. Simply typing the N$A abbreviation will already flag your post on their database. The only solution is to stay legal in everything you do, and hope someone will not browse into your privacy for their pleasure and entertainment. We have seen with the Silkroad case that there are corrupt agents out there, so it is not impossible for people to misuse these systems for their own benefit. |

We must consider who is the driving force behind these politicians?
" As we reported in January, two Polish banks, Bank Zachodni WBK and BPH, shut down the accounts of bitcoin companies citing the lack of regulation of the cryptocurrency in the country. "
The banks obviously has a hand in this and we all know why, right? ^hmf^

Nothing new here, phishing attempts are rampant in the online banking scene too, and nobody post that as headline news on websites. It happens even more than we know, the banks just manage to keep it quite. One of my friends got his accounts cleared with the same thing and spoofed websites.
The thief's will not stop trying, because you use Bitcoin. They will target any platform or payment method with these type of social engineering attacks. If you do not enable 2FA, you expose yourself to a world of trouble.

The worst thing for me, is when banks flood you with more credit than you possibly can handle and when you get in trouble <card skimming or online fraud> they just wash their hands. They always find some reason to blame you. They also sell you insurance for these kinds of exploits and make some extra money out of you, by doing this. Bitcoin allow you to determine your own loss, if and when something like this might happen. The thief's and hackers do not have access to loads of credit that you cannot afford to pay back, only the coins you have in your wallet at that time. So you manage your losses, by using Bitcoin responsibly. |

Although I agree it's a great opportunity for bitcoin in these fields, the biggest argument against it is companies that need to prove the clients are 18+. Bitcoin's anonimity doesn't make that very easy.
It is not as if other payment methods are any easier to stop underage people from accessing these sites. The young people have been bypassing that for ages. Just look at the laws applicable to underage drinking. Do you think that is effective in any way? Stolen credit cards are being sold online for years now, and it is just increasing day-by-day. |

Only problem with this is, we need to take in consideration that most countries see Bitcoin as a commodity, and it's even more interesting when you compare Bitcoin to the other commodities. It will also out perform things like gold and silver and platinum for that matter.
You need to look at it from all sides to get a better picture. ^LoL^

Ok let's ask ourselves this question : Would you build your business on top of a technology controlled by external entities that are mostly unknown? The banks want something they can control and change, when they want to. They do not want to wait for a BIP to be proposed and then for some unknown entities to reach consensus and to decide if it is viable or not. How do you build a business around all those uncertainties? They would rather create their own <Private Blockchain> with developers they trust and then manipulate the protocol in the way they want it to work. We cannot ignore this, and the latest Core vs XT fights are not helping to bring them to the table. Our fighting and indecision are pushing companies toward <Private> alternatives and Alt coins. |

I also bought some coins when the price was high. +/- $400 Since then the price averaged around $200 - $250. I then saw this trend and bought when the price dropped to $200 and sold when it reached $250 < My profit = $50 give or take a couple of fees > So my loss is now less and I can once again buy when the price goes to $200 again, and repeat the process until I have made up my losses on the first $400 purchase.
Or I can wait until it reach $400 or $500 or $800 for that matter, but I chose to reduce my loss and to increase my profit. You have this option, wait or re-invest and work away the loss until you return your investment or possibly double it.

I think investigations are still ongoing and he isn't fully on jail now. Apparently he will be on jail for at least 7 years, which is nothing compared to what would he have gotten in US. He will leave in 7 years and by then the Bitcoins he has stored (which im sure he has undetected BTC stored somewhere) will be worth millions.
7 years is still better than nothing Im pretty sure 7 years is enough for the prisoners to bully the crap out of him  But i agree with you, he should stay there longer  7 years is just a petty punishment for someone who let $500m dollars be lost in the void. If he was jailed in the US, I doubt that he‘ll be free in 20 years. There is serious money involved here. That's why i said he said should stay longer Are there anything the bitcoin community could do to make him stay in jail longer ? Maybe make an online petition for him to stay longer in jail or something like that Make a petition for him to be trialled in the US? Considering that most victims were there. But idk, Mt. Gox was Japan-based so he should chill there first and taste hell in US after 7 years. that would be great idea , but its impossible ,just heared from my friend that jail in japan not so scary Only if you are the one bending and touching your toes in the shower.  It is such a high profile case and we hear nothing from the press on that side. They are quick to jump on news, when the puppet masters wants them to discredit and shill Bitcoin. I guess it is old news for the so-called CEO of Bitcoin to be in jail. Let's make some phone calls or send some mail and see what pop out. |

Most of the major players were invited and I wonder whether Bitcoin or the Blockchain will be the dominant discussion point on their agenda. Can someone translate the agenda points for us?
If they talk about the Blockchain, it might be good for China. The global scene are turning towards Blockchain based technology and if they follow that trend, it might be more positive.
China are currently heavily invested into Bitcoin mining, and it will be nice to know that they will be growing a industry around that. It's good for exports and create a lot of job opportunities.

Why are people so obsessed about the user-friendliness of Bitcoin, when there are so many online wallets and payment processors out there to make it idiot proof? The most difficult decision they need to make, is to chose which of these services are the best and most secure option to take. How many people know how the TCP/IP protocol help the internet to function? BUT they still use the internet? Ask the normal user to give you his or her IP address or gateway or DNS and they will not know what you talking about, BUT they still use the internet. Use the applications and the services and forget about the internal protocols that enable it. |
