I was not very active back then, but yes I would have bought it. Today i know better.

What goes up, much go down etc. If you study the charts long enough you see a pattern is shown on the surface.

I still got a few coins @ cryptsy and it frustrates me a lot. They just don't give a ***
Ignoring tickets, or just don't "fix" the wallets.
There was a time Cryptsy was far above all other altcoin exchanges, but today there are on the same low level as Yobit and those other scam exchanges.

If you are out, you're out.

Meaning you lost everything. Why try to lose more? It's not a game, but real money you are losing.
Even if gambling gives you an orgasm, i stil don't make sense to keep on losing..

I agree with that. If you look towards profit ventures, profiting from this last rally is way more lucrative then any cloud mining or altcoin investment.
It don't happends a lot, but with the little bumps you can make quite some BTC.

In my case buying and selling bitcoin brought more profit then my cloud mining operation

With some proper marketing and promotions you can even sell a shoes with holes in it.
Most faucets are just simple one's. No unique selling points. just set up with 1 goal (to earn). If they webmaster would think about a new model where the player can earn without getting overhrown with a lot of ads, see what will happen.

Seems the OP is going to be right, which makes me very very happy.

With a 500 price it's logic we can expect another increase before the halving. But a lot can and will happen. Let's get to 500 first,
and then decide what is going to happen

Hashnest is legit, but the last couple of weeks they have changed (in a bad way). If you consider cloud mining I would advice to spend less then a few BTC.

If you've got more BTC to spend, they either research buying some hardware and placing it in a DC or find a innovative project to co-finance.
But, let's be realistic here, holding bitcoin and selling on a price increase, is easier, faster and to me more profitable.

Cloud mining can be good, if you buy with a solid party. A lot of large cloud mining scams has dissapeared, GAW, LTCgear, Havelock, Zeus mining Scam International.

Some very large companies so make sure you do some due dilligence before you invest.
After all it is your money at stake. Following other people blindly, is plan stupido.

Question is will you still be able to remember where you have stored your bitcoins or the encryption key to your wallet.

My advice would be to wait a few years and if the price has not reach 100k, give me 50%, I will live life for the both of us.

A 200 rate is not likely to happen. But the foundation the current price is built upon, is not there...

The current increase is nothing more then a hype created by some very wealthy man. Their intentions are clear... maximum profit. In this endavour they
make a lot of other people profit too.

Amen!

Comparing bitcoin is close to impossible. It has so many aspects that are making it greater then any other form of trading, that it is humiliating.
We just need the masses to wake.

People know what happened in cryprus, greece, eventually the world will wake up.

Having facebook and using it actively are 2 different things. Remember most of them have Internet at public places; University's, libraries etc.
Their village and most of the time, also in their home is not equiped with Internet.

If you want bitcoin to be used, it should be accessable 24/7

You seem to be a wise man/woman.

It's a utopia to think innovation will go this rapidly. 5 years in terms of an revolution this huge, can be compared to 60 seconds... We have just taken off and are determing a direction of where to go.

Let's first win the trust of so many retailers/merchants etc.

Wow are there so many adult websites taking bitcoin.

It's a surprise and also not. In a way bitcoin (l) porn and vice versa, but nearly 700 sites. There must be a lot of profit to be made in that business.

If we reach 1k I am willing to part of 50% of my coins. The other half I won't let go before we reach 2k. Ofcourse I will always keep some spare BTC in my wallet. Would not dare to miss out the 10k mark. We should get there in around 10 years.

I found this thread this morning. Did earn enough points to be eligible, but just to be sure I will do some extra later.
This card provided by a solid party (not a scammy polish bank) was a genius plan.

I don't know both parties.. true. But I will use E-Coin's card.

It will take decades at least. The pro's are there, but people are afraid of new things. They are like sheep standing on the sideline watching. If we want to have the masses involved some security (a few big companies accepting bitcoin) and usability (a wallet 5.0 version) are needed. From there you will see the amount of people using will grow.

On a sidenote. Don't forget some people don't shop at all online. Either they don't like it, or trust it. Most of them will propably never use bitcoin.

Lol how and where did you exactly buy it at 350. The current price is over 456. I think you and me should meet and exchange our connections.
Your connections will allow me to buy some cheap bitcoin, my connectoin will bring you in contact with some doberman's

A creditcard would help, but first you need to target the audience by something they care about; clothing, bags, shoes.
Have them buy it with a nice discount and you will see that in no-time bitcoin will be crowded by woman.

All of the exchanges have a free registration. They don't allow alternative accounts though (from what I was told).
If you are looking for a good exchange for your country check this site:

The largest bitcoin exchanges are listed there (over 65) at the moment.
