You want to earn more? Well, do what you did in the past! Just hold it. Eventually the price might rise more. Also, there is NO zero risk in any kind of investment whatsoever. If there was zero risk then everyone would just dive in to bitcoin and be rich in the future.

P.S. Stay away from cloud mining and investment sites

There are lots of ways definitely. But I think only a few or some are really effective. some methods might come up as "spammy" or sort of like a moneymaking scheme. I like the method of asking local vendors if they accept bitcoin though.

Here are some I think are most effective (in no particular order):

• Asking vendors if they accept bitcoin
• Bitcoin events/conferences
• Bitcoin guest presentations on colleges
• TV/radio appearances
• actual stores accepting bitcoin/crypto; with a big "accepting bitcoin" sign

Sure it can. Bitcoin is just currently at a very young stage, therefore there will be problems, bugs, innefficiencies, and the like. Hopefully in the very near future these problems will be adressed. Also, bitcoin needs to be more newbie friendly, to a point where everyone will very little knowledge can use it. I can only imagine bitcoin's price being stable a few years after global adoption.

Hopefully indeed. We, or the devs just needs to make bitcoin a tiny bit more "newbie" friendly. Especially for the older people, they wouldn't have a clue on what private keys and recovery phrases are. Yes we have coinbase, but I don't think that's the best solution for this.

Just to let you know, you can purchase on amazon via bitcoin using purse.io; but yea I get what you mean, it would be alot better if amazon directly accepted bitcoin. 

No. Ethereum was created for a different purpose and has different goals. Ethereum was created for smart contracts. While stellar has it's own pros and cons when compared with bitcoin. Not to mention stellar is not flooded with transactions . Please do your research.

In my country only a small percentage of the people knows bitcoin too, but they only know it as a moneymaking scheme  . Anyway, to answer your question, I think bitcoin is only for the mid-lower class upto the higher class. Since in my country, even the poor people have smartphones (the cheaper Samsung models). But definitely not everyone can afford food, what more smartphones?

I came across steemit on 2016 not knowing it will get this big. It's definitely a good platform. You earn with your content. The only issue with me is the price of steemit though. It might be too low in the future to not be relevant.

Ooooo this is really good news. I can see bitcoin and other crypto booming in Japan really soon. I mean come on, no tax!!! Unfortunately I don't see this happening on most countries though, especially the more corrupt ones. Anyway, I hope other countries take note of this since Japan is also a major country.

Hmm. Yes this is good news. But it's kinda weird because he doesn't accept credit card payments what? I know we want to spread the name of bitcoin for mass adoption but why is he forcing the parents to but Bitcoin for the payments? Definitely should be optional.

Alright. After ko makabasa ng post tungkol sa August 1 sa ibang thread dito sa bitcointalk, kung saan may posibilidad magka "hard-fork", naisipan ko nalang gumawa nalang ng post na 'less technical' tungkol dito.




Anong mangyayari sa August 1?
Alam naman siguro nating lahat na may problema ang bitcoin ngayon, mataas na ang transaction fees ngayon at mejo matagal na ang transaction time. Bakit hindi parin ito naaayos? Ito po ay dahil sa sort of parang "political" issue sa bitcoin devs at miners natin kung saan nahati sa dalawang sides ang bitcoin community dahil magkaiba sila ng proposed na solution. Kung mejo matagal na kayo sa mundo sa bitcoins hindi na siguro bago sayo ang mga salitang "Segregated Witness (SegWit)" at "Bitcoin unlimited (BU)", yan ang dalawang panig na pinag uusapan natin.

So ano nga ang mangyayari? Merong tatlong possibleng outcome.

    1. BIP-148 succeeds, no chain split.

    2. BIP-148 fails, no chain split.

    3. Walang panalo. Ito na ung kinakatakutan ng karamihan. Mahahati sa dalawa ang bitcoin. Pero most likely hindi sa August 1 mismo mangyayari ito. pwedeng after a few weeks or a few months.


Anong mangyayari sa presyo ng Bitcoin?

Pag nahati man sa dalawa ang bitcoin, most likely babagsak ang presyo ng bitcoin. baka nga as even as low as $500 per bitcoin. Pero kung long term holder kayo, ay wala dapat kayong katakutan. Since most likely tataas rin lang ulit ang presyo ng BTC, parang ung nangyari dati sa Ethereum (Ethereum & Ethereum Classic). Ang hindi lang natin alam is alin sa dalawa (o tatlong) coins ang magiging mas successful.


Paano ko poprotektahan ang bitcoins ko?
    1. Prevent niyo muna magtransact ng bitcoins on and after August 1.

    2. Alisin niyo ang bitcoins niyo sa exchanges. Istore lamang ito sa wallets kung saan may control kayo sa private keys niyo.
Guide: Bitcoin wallets
    3. Optional: Pag gusto niyo mag play safe, itrade niyo muna ang bitcoins niyo kapalit ng ibang altcoins (Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin)

P.S. Feel free to correct me pag may mali man sa explanations ko (hirap po akong mag explain sa tagalog )

Humihingi rin po kami ng tulong sa Facebook page namin. Puros bash ang natatanggap namin kasi scam at nagsspread daw po kami ng takot hahaha

Hi! welcome to the crypto world. Anyway, I know a site that has a good size of compilation of guides.

Link: http://www.coindesk.com/information/

from that site you can learn about general bitcoin knowledge (how transactions work, mining, legalities, the blockchain, all those stuff). I suggest you go through all those stuff first before going into trading/markets. The basics are VERY necessary.

Also, if you like watching instead, look up crypt0 on youtube, link: https://www.youtube.com/user/obham001 ; videos might be long, yes, but they have very good insight. Easily one of the best crypto youtubers in my opinion.

If that's the case it looks like you're screwed. Try contacting C-Cex customer support about this if ever they still have access to the old address. There's nothing we can help you with. Only C-Cex themselves can help you.

Also, are you seriously using an exchange site as your wallet?  That's like the worst idea ever. Heck, I'd even prefer using online wallets. If they say they don't have access to your old address or if they don't reply, then I guess you just need to accept that loss. Please please please never use c-cex as your wallet again.

Some decent wallets:
Copay: https://copay.io/
Electrum: https://electrum.org/
Blockchain.info: https://blockchain.info/wallet/

I hold it like 99/1, 1% on exchanges obviously(spare change), And you should do that too. Anytime, the crypto exchange can just close and run away with your cryptocurrencies if they wanted to. Also, remember the previous hacks on bitfinex and Mt. Gox? Those events should already be a lesson for crypto holders.

News links for those interested:
Mt. Gox: https://www.wired.com/2014/03/bitcoin-exchange/
Bitfinex: https://btcmanager.com/bitfinex-confirm-64-million-hack-btc-usd-slumps/

Suspended what address and how? And what platform specifically? Can you please tell the whole story first? We don't have time to ask you everything, you need to state them. What platform? What did you do to get the address suspended? Which address? Receiving or accepting? Etc.

Can you explain more clearly? Other members and I could barely understand what you're trying to say unfortunately. So you had an address to your bitcoin account (maybe your c-cex account?) and you haven't found what exactly?

No, you don't need to use stop-losses. Stop-losses are used for different purposes, that you probably do not need right now. Not sure what you call it on poloniex, but you should only use limit trades.

And yes. It's not a good idea to leave your coins on exchanges, since they can just disappear anytime and they are quite prone to hacks.

I suggest using only one address to prevent hassle. No reason to store it on multiple addresses whatsoever.

One suggestion is to make a paperwallet offline. Here's a guide on coindesk: http://www.coindesk.com/information/paper-wallet-tutorial/

What I would to though, is to buy a hardware wallet. A ledger nano S to be more specific. It's a device with a size of a USB Flash Drive. If you're interested, look up: Ledger Nano S, Trezor, and Keepkey. I'll list the websites below.

Alright. I've only watched the trailer for now and I'm a bit interested (just a little bit). The documentary looked very low-budget from the first 10 seconds. Some parts of the movie actually made me cringe. Like 3/4 of the trailer, when they were having problems because they couldn't find stores who accepts bitcoin, well duh, bitcoin isn't widely accepted yet; why didn't you bring cash? I felt like they were trying too hard to dramatize it. I'd prefer if they just made like a informative documentary on what bitcoin can solve. Not all these "oh no this restaurant doesn't accept bitcoin and I'm already very hungry "

Are they really close to getting banned? Any sources?

I think prepaid phone cards can be traceable through signal and through the phone itself(not the sim card). But yea, this easy solution for criminals to get past this is to buy very cheap mobile phones and just get rid of the phone after like every transaction and get a new one after. 

"If you don't control the private keys, you don't have any bitcoin'. People from the Philippines are too lazy to do research on wallets and why you shouldn't store wallet on those services; and I'm filipino myself! Makes me sick. End rant.

Anyway, I use mycelium on Android and electrum on windows. Though I'm starting to use Copay because I'm a UI junkie.
