It will be bitcoin or a competing altcoin. It's not the name that matters, it's the technology.
no altcoin has the potential nor the support nor the technology to compete with bitcoin. I am not saying that there never going to be anything but there is nothing right now. you say it instead(your first sentence), many think that there would be an altcoin in the future that will be better than bitcoin, i say this is a blatant bullshit, not gonna happen, nothing can be comparable to the huge network of bitcoin, every new coin would just be a bad joke in comparison and no coin can just be created and surpass bitcoin overnight, it will need so much time for any new coin, to even start to think to overcome 10% of what bitcoin really is, and meanwhile bitcoin will be already on the moon with even more of a huge network

the problem are also transaction that come from pool, they cannot be easily tracked back, and still tracking you back with the simple method of going through all the addresses, isn't going to cut it in the end, how can you link those money to a specific person even if you find the address? How are they going to trace transaction backs through Bitcoin once stuff like Darkwallet and Zerocoin kicks in?4 And any case, if your coins are from a legitimate origin because you trade in MtGox or whatever, how would you prove it when the exchange is closed and the transaction list are lost? There are so many grey areas in there.
not to mention other obscure way that utilize crypto to hide your way, and not there isn't only monero, what if i'm running an exchange, and i create some obscure coin based on signature ring, and i use it all the time to hide all my operations? impossible to follow all the shit about the crypto world

How about any alt-coins ? We need a little help our end getting a stellar dev. to do some work. Don't know just throwing this out there ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Altcoins i tend to find very risky, some altcoins i have watched had wild swings and some even disappeared without trace. I need to find a investment that will give me some returns monthly or bi weekly. you need to buy those alt that has a very low value, so you can buy many of them and at their first rise(usually they have no other direction than rising, because they are dead already, so if they move in one direction it will be probably up) you dump you can start to invest only 0.1 on some 100-1k satoshi altcoin, if it raise to 1k-10k(very possibile), you have x10 profit easily, it may sound stupidly easy, but this is how it work in that jungle just don't invest in some old unknown coin, better to stay with the recent ones

what about a proof of distribution, that aim at send the exact same amount of coins to everyone, but at the same time, evading from the possibility to being abused by a random member that is using some sort of proxy to circumnavigate the restriction?
basically i was thinking that who want the coin, need to provide a video of himself

Try getting a house with bitcoins lol. I wish we could do that, if it doesn't already exist. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) it was already done, not that extraordinary anymore, you can find the news on the web easily still there the problem of taxes, not so much related on how you will pay them, but more on the fence of declaring them in the right way, with all the traces of your money, you must prove that your money come from bitcoin, that's the hassle

we are already doing something, in the way of beginning to attempt at colonizing other planet like mars, check mars one it's an awesome attempt to send 100(50 men and 50 women) to build there a new facility and start a new human era
we could restart the whole green factor(forest, jungle and everything with it) on mars inside special buildings that will work as greenhouses
it's also obvious that precious metal or resoucers on earth can't last forever, and the only solution is to conquer other planet

This list doesn't tell us anything. You need to look at the income tax rate per state. Looking at average taxes paid is very misleading. California and New York have much higher incomes than Wyoming or the other "low tax" states.
Agree with that. But still, it seems that states such as California and New York are having the maximum income tax rates. And states such as Wyoming, Texas and Washington are having the lowest rates: snip i think it depends on how much mining activity there is, thus some place are more taxed then other, it's not a coincidence, that the taxation regime, is started in the usa, where the mining operations were the biggest ones, in comparison with other places

another method, is by having a good escrow service, and help people who need someone to trust, you can begin to charge something very small to encourage new adopters, something like 0.1 at launch would suffice
Have you been able to successfully serve as a escrow? I'm trying to think about ways to make some more BTC and being a escrow sounds good, it should be easy as long as you stay consistent and trusted, but I wonder if there is a possibility to become a escrow or is already monopolized by a couple Legendary posters with tons of trust or something. How is escrow on this forum profitable with the risk? Most escrowers don't charge high fees (normally like 2-3 percent) so basically you can't even allow 1 in 20 transactions to go bad. 1% is more than enough to make profit with escrow, you just need to be very active, and to offer all kind of services not just for bitcoin "Only refers to safe investments" made me laugh. If you don't risk nothing the chances are very high you will gain nothing. I have grown to love trading BTC/USD it has a lot of coin to be made on the swings but of course this is not safe for even the good but nobody should be looking for safe when you are in bitcoin, it is by its nature extremely volatile and very unsafe but is a bag of joys. The safest I can think of is just buy and hold.
Nice, you are great Trader, BUY >> HOLD >> SELL PROFIT no investment without Risk, now bitcoin is stabil 220-230 i think we can take 2-3% per 3day to take profit and repreat it, trade is best investment if we have skill it should work, but only because we are stuck at current price range, for so long, otherwise only buying and holding, will not cut it i think that shorting if done right, is the best trading strategy

Well I won on their lottery so its good. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) what price? the biggest one? the new lottery feature makes it somewhat interesting again. you get 2 tickets per roll and 1 ticket per ref ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FaxtebKD.png&t=663&c=GkMJTXxk_fN_SA) but its impossible to win as bunch of people are using it you've got nothing to lose and if you refer you get more tickets thus increasing your chances of winning ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) besides losing your time, which can be converted in more money than playing with a single faucet, not even a rotator You would probably get more if you got a job and then bought BTC with money from the job.
many don't won't to buy bitcoin, they want to get them for free, i can understand this, it's more funny i think

yes earn some satoshi today from someone on twitter and give me a tips on twitter via changetip and get some satoshi from enrolling sig campaign ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) which signature campagain pays today..(no offense) i think most of them pays you on sunday or monday.. correct me if i am wrong.. thank you. as a far as i know there isn't an exact date for payment, for example with bit-x you get payed after 1 week from your last payment, so if you started in monday, your payments will be always in monday, unless something else happen like forum downtime or other thing like this, will shift the day forward

don't know how it is advisable to trade altcoin with your bitcoin, altcoin are dying monsters, that can't contribute too much to your portfolio, you need to follow those pumper groups, that pump a random coin each week, and you need to have your money ready on exchange(a bit risky), to buy those pumped altcoin
but be aware, they usually say that they pump for long term, but the true is that they only pump it for something around 300% and then the crash happen very fast, there are too many bagholder miners, that are holding those garbage coins, and they look forward to dump as soon as possible
So you are saying that 300% growth will contribute not too much to one's portfolio, right? Have you tried to trade altcoins, say, doges? no, you got it wrong, i say that they cannot contribute to your portfolio because they carry a big risk, because of their random crash, even after a pump of 300% yeah i have done plenty of trade in the past with alt, especially doge yes, and i know well how they work I guess you are confusing trading with investment. The higher the volatility (pump&dump works perfect), the better for trading. You absolutely don't care what the price is (since in no case you marry to your position), all you care is direction... Though you can always rationalize turning into investor after "you get it wrong" no i'm not confusing it you're just making this up(you just randomly connected two separate sentences of my post to start a random useless debate, like the last time), you did not understand what i was saying, and i explained it to you with the last quote, and apparently you still can't understand it saying that a coin can be raised of 300% isn't intended as , you will make 300% of profit...

was this even an issue, aren't fees customizable? you can choose 250s for the old qt too, but it will take more time to confirm

if you can learn how to trade with forex/stocks and all those things on 1broker, with bitcoin, i'm sure it will be profitable in the long run
maybe don't start with something like 50%

Do you think bitcoin will reach it's $1000 mark again? $10 or $1000. Either way is quite possible. one is /20, the other just x5, i think it's clear that it will be more easy to reach the latter [] Doesn't work like that. Imagine playing penny ante poker with a friend. You each have 20 bucks. What's more likely, you leaving the game with $1 (/20 of what you started with), or $100 (x5 what you started with)? Don't gamble ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) hehe nice joke there, you did built an example that limited the possibility to have only x2 of your investment, not really a fair comparison you can't argue that it is more easy to raise to x5 than be dumpend to x20, although it is reasonable to think that dumping is more easy to do than the pumping, still 1/20 vs x5 is a lot of difference

the land of bitcoin is china since big mining company there already but the best country well ,potencial several of them the best well no one since all are making lays to try control bitcoin .... that is decentralized crypto coin ....
I don't see China becoming bitcoin friendly. It would mean loosening capital control - something which is not going to happen soon. in fact they will not, they are too much attached to the money of bitcoin, not to bitcoin itself, they don't care too much about what it can offer in the future over their currency, or over fiat in general i still can't understand why japan cannot embrace it yet, they are always in favor of new tech, they love new technology... anyway my vote go to singapore
