Legal currency.  All the currencies that I know of, the fiat ones, are tied to government.  How would bitcoin become one of those?  I don't think that's possible, but what is possible is if a government developed a blockchain based coin to use as their own fiat currency.  And that would suck for bitcoin.

You're on a forum that's pretty much full of greedy people, so OP your not alone by any stretch. 

I don't consider myself an *overly* greedy person, but I aspire toward being wealthy.  To that end, I think bitcoin has very good upside potential and my goal is to accumulate right now.  If OP got in at $200, he's very fortunate, but I still think buying now at $565 isn't a bad idea.

Crying in my beer, crying in my sleep.  But that's a big 'what if'.  Right now I'm focusing on earning enough IRL to actually buy enough coin so that IF the day comes when bitcoin is $10,000, I can see about buying a farm with enough seeds and space for a nuclear fallout shelter, and I'll commence prepping for the end.  After that, it's going to be all about guns, precious metals, pharmaceuticals, and medical skills. 

But yeah, till then I'm still loving bitcoin. 

This is a great example of a thread that needs closing by the mods.  OP's question was answered completely and accurately in the above post.

I'd like to also emphasize that doing faucets might be fun, but it's an awful waste of time if you're actually trying to earn bitcoin.  The easiest, safest, and probably best way to earn is via signature campaigns.  Unfortunately a lot of the newbies who join them end up actually having to work and have nothing to say.  It ends up in posts that are short or complete garbage.  OP has probably figured out how to proceed by now, seeing how old this thread is.

Watch out for trading.  If you don't know what you're doing, you can get into a lot of trouble very quickly.

$0.25 as a miner fee for sending $575 worth of bitcoin?  That sounds reasonable to me, unless you mean something else.  I've paid higher fees to send less bitcoin in the past using Android wallets.  What you described doesn't sound all that high.

Agree with this 100%.  I don't know anything about rimbit, but I don't know anything about TRUMP, CC, blibbityblah, and all the other crap ones you see trading on the shady exchanges.  They are doomed.  You could probably trim rimbit to ONE coin and it still wouldn't hold its value.  No one is using these, and I would be more than happy if they were all "burned".

I agree, it would certainly be discouraged and definitely frowned on, but I don't think it's grounds for a ban or even censure.

My question is, why would anyone agree to do this?  It would make more sense for someone to buy an account here, make the investment up front, and then earn the normal rate from a campaign.  What the OP is suggesting sounds like what someone with multiple disconnected neurons would find attractive as a business opportunity.

I haven't exactly read this entire thread, but it seems that a good number of bitcoiners do absolutely nothing with their coins, and I would put myself in this category as well.  The number of places where you can actually buy something priced in bitcoin is extremely small, and the items are very limited.  Dell and some of the tech places are excluded from that, and Overstock.com.  Me?  I'm just holding on, waiting for the price to explode.  The $560 we're at is just primed and ready to take off to $1000.

You must be joking, sir.  It takes very little to rank up to a Jr. Member, and very few people are going to pay even 0.1 for that.  There's just no reason to.  And not that I condone doing this.  I think account farming is a despicable practice suited only for charlatans and knaves.

People have answered it just as well, but I'd say it's consensus that gives anything value.  Two or more parties agreeing some intangible altcoin has value gives it a price.   And it's pretty much as simple as that.

This is novel, but it sort of reminds me of  that guy who tried living solely from things he ordered off the internet, not leaving his house for a year, or the other person who webcammed every room in his house...novel, but really proves little. 

Sure, anyone can start one, but no one has a gun to your head to sign up for one.  Personally I wouldn't join any of these new coin campaigns.  More than one has ended in a scam, if I'm not mistaken.   Squallcoin, candlecoin, and probably some others.  It's too damn risky that they're going to end up with free advertising.

Nope, and it's bad advice in general to do that for friends, much like lending a friend money or selling him a car.  Money and business strain personal relationships,  and giving altcoin tips?  That is very risky, and your friend will NOT be happy when poopcoin X goes to nothing and his entire bankroll is gone.

Don't do it very often, but the dice games kind of take on a life of their own after a while.  Start out trying to have some fun, then it becomes about making, then about not losing,  all my money.  I don't think gambling should be all about making money.   Go to medical or law school if you want to do that.

My suggestion: get sober and hodl that bitcoin before you end up doing anymore stupid things with it.  I know it's the altcoin section here, but dayyym.  That's a lot of bitcoin that you could end up losing.

Well said, sir.  I have seen far too many credulous suckers here go full GAGA over what turns out to be a steaming bowl of turds.  It just never gets old, but then you'll get the threads crying "scam!" when everyone should have known that from the beginning.

45's not old.  I think there are plenty of people on this forum in their 40s and above.  But if youre talking senior citizen age, 65 and up...not that many, though earning money through sig campaigns wouldn't be a bad idea.  The average senior citizen doesn't know anything about bitcoin, so that's not likely.

That's one of the good things about exchanges like Yobit & Poloniex (and Cryptsy before they died) is the percentage as a fee.  It's good for people who only can buy a small amount, because with things like stock brokerages, a flat fee of $7/trade will kill you if you're only buying $40 worth of stock.  I think it's beneficial for bitcoiners with not so much money.

No it's highly unlikely,  but this forum, like the world of bitcoin users in general,  is full of dreamers.   I don't know if that's a bad thing or not, but it seems to me that we ought to be realistic about this.  The halving brought us close to $700, and we've dropped significantly since then.  $1200 and above is a long ways away.  And those predictions quoted by OP were worthless like a lot of predictions turn out to be.

That's fine.  You have a lot of offers here, including mine.   Are you going to do any business or are you just here to fluff everyone?   I'm willing to trade, but you made the thread and ought to respond.
