Actually considering picking up a job in McDonalds at the weekends just to buy BTC with the entire wage, I feel it would pay out big time in the future.

I had plenty of cryptodreams. One said: "giveBTCpls, you must put 0.15 in MAZA, then go to sleep." And so I did, and next day I woke up with massive losses.

What do you think about the measures taken by the ECB (specifically Mario Draghi) do you think we'll see things get better? Is this another step towards total devaluation of EUR? What will happen next?

1000 is the psychological barrier (again). It was before it got beaten once, now we need to beat it again (and we will) to regain solid trust, just like a champion has to be champion 2 times to be considered more than a one hit wonder. Then people will wake the fuck up hopefully.

If any of us invested in 2009-2010 we would be rich as fuck regardless age. We just missed on that special boat. 

Yeah, but dont you understand no one that is a casual bitcoin user is going to be a node? nodes should be people that can run a computer 24/7 and have power of computing and so on and so fort, not the average bitcoin user. Bitcoin will fail if most people are encountered with downloading a 20gb and growing file if they download "the official client" which is what people always do.

Every successfull aka rich businessman does this, he needs the poor to stay poor so he can pay shitty wages for max benefits, unfortunately.

LOL: This doesn't make sense. Worldwide regulation would need insane amounts of effort and collaboration, is just unrealistic.

You can only "BAN" bitcoin at the level of not allowing you to cash out on FIAT gov rigged currencies. AKA, the way to fight this is with merchant adoption. More and more and more merchants accepting BTC. THEN you can buy with BTC directly, without FIAT, and gov can do shit nothing about it.

I want to know more about Monero picking up in Latin America, any links?

Best safe way for the 99% is to put a small amount of your income into BTC. Say 0.1 monthly. In 12 month's you'll have about 1 BTC considering in some months it may go higher and lower so you can't exactly buy 0.1.

You should read some Jaques Fresco books. We are fucked in the future if we cannot manage the fact technology is going to keep replacing jobs NON-STOP. This is a FACT. How is the system going to cope with this, in any case?

I have been reading comments trying to get my mind around what the common folk that are ignorant about BTC thinks about it. Well, a recurring complain i've seen is how their computers bloat and then they have to wait for fucking ages to download "that thing" (the blockchain). People is in general TOO DUMB to even look around and understand how alternatives exist. What I propose is:

Make a big "DOWNLOAD NOW" button that has an officially developed and supported lightweight wallet that looks cool and works smooth. Then, have computer literate people run Bitcoin QTs if they want to support the network and be nodes. The common folk shouldn't be pointed to Bitcoin QT as "the official one" because everyone is downloading "the official one" and few even bother reading about the 3rd party wallets, or they may think "why risk it, lets go with the official". So yeah, we need a lightweight, "average joe" Bitcoin QT wallet. Personally I would love an exact copy of the Bitcoin QT one, it looks smooth and simple, but a lightweight version of it.

Just my 2 cents/0,00004063BTC

This is somewhat legit, but to make the real, big gains with the alt game you need balls to hold longer than you would expect. Like it has been said before, big gains from DRK and Blackcoin, came from guys that held the coins for 1+ month at least. I also think Monero is worth holding long term. Other than these, yes, the rest are most likely P&D shitscams.

Trading what? how often? daytrading? Who the fuck makes money with daytrading to be honest? everyone says "you need years of experience to daytrade, so forget it", but then again, if you tell the guy to "forget it", how he is supossed to get years of experience? So many questions.

It doesn't really tell me much, maybe something related to finances, but I get halo'ed by that avatar with the cute girl everytime.

My bday was a month ago. Not even a phone call. I haven't had a "bday celebration" in years. That feel when broke. Anyway, back to btchustling. I want to make my first BTC, that is a good goal to keep me entertained.

So how's this going? So far it was going pretty decent it seems. Why did you stop?

Congratulations. It's now in your hand to hodl, or risk (try to increase the price). Alternative : Dollar cost average (put on some of your fiat work money into Bitcoin, just in case, and you can build up an increase of BTC over time)

This nomenclature is  still very confusing for newbies, also "-1kSAT" lol, this doesn't sound neither look very aesthetically pleasing. We need something, something simple as fuck for the price thing.
