only considering online investment and also earning i have to say completely in bitcoin. but in general i am invested a little more than 60% in bitcoin. and i think that is the smart balance that i am maintaining (or at least it is smart for me)

the hard fork is always a bad idea, and in case of ethereum i feel like the did it so fast and so prematurely and it may hurt the coin in the near future pretty bad.
this is actually one of the reason that whenever there is a talk of fork in bitcoin community goes nuts over it. because it is bad!

it is understandable if they put a limit to the number of claims you can make per day because there has been so many abuses in the past from people who were farming the faucet to earn free bitcoin!

but to limit it to once per day that much be either a bug or someone else from your IP has exhusted the faucet

to answer your first question i should say yeah, why not?!
people like taking high risks and have the chance of winning a lot so i think you should add it to your site. and to prevent huge loss on your end the casinos usually put a max amount that people can win so for example with 9998x you can't place a 10BTC bet!

and to your second question, i played the high payout for a while but i got bored because all i could see was red all day with no win because the chance is always low.

bitcoin, just like any other currency or money in general, can surely affect your life a lot. if you spend all your time earning it and in the end earn a little amount that doesn't covor your expenses you will have a shitty life but if you spend little time and earn a lot then enjoy the money you got, then you have a enjoyable life.

it is possible to make that much but in order to do that you will need a good business that is thriving already, so you can make that kind of profit from your business but if you just want to start making a profit then no it is not possible because you have to grow into it, and surly this is not possible over night.

this is a good suggestion and good traders can make a lot of profit this way with 6BTC but if you are new like OP here or if you have little experience in altcoin trading then goingin with nearly $4000 is not a wise decision to make.

if you have been holding bitcoin since 2011 without selling it, then there is only two possible scenarios:

1) you don't care about the price or care about bitcoin as an investment and you are only interested in it as a technology and as a currency.

2) you are an idiot who missed an opportunity to sell, make a profit and buy back again 10 times more bitcoin at the bottom. rinse and repeat.

first of all, i am not gonna answer some random dude on the street who randomely asks me about bitcoin besides youtube can do the job so much better and easier than i can do in either a couple of sentenses or an hour of talking.

but i like two definitions for bitcoin that i think describes bitcoin the best in short: peer to peer money, and a public ledger.

this image shows the number of "used addresses" and it has nothing to do with number of people using bitcoin and i don't think you can even guess the number of people using bitcoin from this.

because many people are using wallets that are generating a new address as you spend bitcoin, meaning they (as satoshi has suggested) use each address only once so one person who has been using bitcoin for a year or so has used hundreds of addresses already.

i bought my first (portion of ) one bitcoin last year at the time of despair and no rise when the price was so low and eveybody was crying over it although i wish i could' have bought bitcoin back when it was $10 but i am still satisfied with buying it at $200

yes and no.
it is possible that bitcoin goes mainstreem and become so popular over the next year and untill the end of 2016 till mid 2017 price reaches the moon literary. so there is an opportunity to get rich with bitcoin.

but also you can not be sure about this so you have to think more realistically and based on what you have seens so far from the price and the changes. that is why i kinda agreeing with you that you have to earn more with working to become rich with bitcoin.

i think in the near future there is either a big rise which will get past $700 so quick that you can't even act on selling anything and price will go much higher in a short time.

or there will be another wierd market and price will play jumprope with $700 going above and below it for some time and then the rise happens.

i think baning bitcoin or releasing some law agains usage of bitcoin will only affect businesses and merchants not people, because they will continue using bitcoin since it is a global currency and it will continue having value and you can still use it to transfer money oversees.

this news was the worst thing i got for a long time but seeing this made me happy again. it would be awesome if such project could work well and without problem especially with no problem with DMCA which is always shutting down these torrents.


you are too old, the official address was kat.cr for a very long time

i think OP doesn't know what fiat means and he is using fiat money wrong. and since he posted the link to that US presidential candidate news i think he means becoming more used like fiat.
and in that case i agree with it because bitcoin will grow more and become more popular but government will not support bitcoin ever so it can not replace fiat completely.

yobit is not good at all. there is too many unsatisfied people about that exchange site. so many people with their coins stuck and with their tickets unanswered for months.

in my opinion as long as there are excellent services like bittrex and poloniex for altcoins and kraken for bitcoin trading there is no need for a problematic exchange like yobit.

it is not only about the new developement in LISK but also it is about this healthy price.
LISK could keep up the high trade volume and a fixed price above 40K satoshi for a long time. so i am sure there will be a big rise in near future.

people expect a lot of things out of bitcoin and they say a lot of other things about it even some things that doesn't even makes sense like crap like this:

so you see not all the things you read on the forum is true. and many users are only saying things that suites their situation that time and want to spread some lies for their own temporary advantage.

that was a very sudden rise that obviously needed a correction to come after it. hence the stable $650+ price now.

and yeah, there is no hurry because whales are in hyurry since they are accumulating bitcoin at cheap prices for the next round of rises.
