I would not recommend u to exchange your flat or real money for bitcoin. It's too risky. Better just sped some minutes of your free time with commenting and getting bitcoins for that. After u pass newbi rank u may join some campaign that will pay u ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) exchange fiat to bitcoin is trading bitcoin, or could someone buy to hold. I think this is not risky, if you use it with a safe thing, and not for gambling. actually trading is risky, and it can also be a high risk thing that you do. the risks involve the price changes that come with the volatile nature of bitcoin price and also another big risk that people usually forget is the exchanger itself which can scam you and run away with your money like mt gox, cryptsy, bter,... that did this in the past.

for me selling bitcoin means only selling a small part that i use for trading nothing else so all my bitcoins here means all my trading volume not my cold storage. i will make sure to keep that in its place for the future to use bitcoin freely just as i use fiat today.

i have been bracing myself for the halving for a long time. you should always look at the far future not a short time in the future. i have bough bitcoin when everybody was crying about the price at $200 and now i am laughing at them.

i only gamble randomly whenever i have time or money to spare. so because of this not so regular gambling i usually have long gaps between each time i play and these gaps can be weeks or a month of no gambling.

Well I don't like to go all in while playing in casino, because you can never be sure if you could win. But in real life situations I went all in while betting against my friends. And I am pretty sure I won most of these bets, so yeah - All In betting could be fun and profitable in the same time.
there is no difference between these two as long as the casino is fair and not scamming you. whatever you do in gambling (anything that is based on chance) will have the same risk, but the amount of risk is different. when you bet against your friends, since you know then you have a higher chance of winning that is why you have won so far.

I want to be rich because I want to gamble everyday, the rich consider gambling as an entertainment so their is a big benefits for them, usually rich people have the hottest girl in the town, so I should have that opportunity too, I will gamble to see girls in the casino and to eventually got a hot one.
I think you will be addicted to think about that. Not only rich people think that gambling is just entertainment but like ordinary people think about that too. Because to rich we must win playing gambling in casino site, but in the fact casino site the mostly win or house than the player. So that just think gambling is entertainment, lost or win is familiar in gambling. well, there is big difference when you are loaded (rich) and can spend money easily and still have lots more. when you can't spend money freely because you are not rich then gambling means less fun because losing is harder too.

I do not see this happen in my eyes, I think the bitcoin can go to the amount of 5000 dollar but it will take years for sure. With the halving alone it will not happen but maybe with other good events it will in the future.
$5k seems to be impossible at this stage, it has potential to reach there but to be honest we don't know when it will hit that high price. if by at this stage you mean reaching $5000 within a month or two then i have to agree with you on that. but it is not impossible to reach that price at all. as stated in OP the current market cap is way lower than what it should be and the potential is there.

My name's Luan, I'm ranked as member and I was banished from YoBit campaign, any other ways to earn money from the forum?
haha, join another campaign but before that try to improve your post quality and stop spamming or the other campaign will remove you too. also there are many ways to earn bitcoin, a lot of them were mentioned before and you can also search to find more but anything you choose will depend on your skills.

maybe the tax man finally got to him and now he is looking for another way to distract the authorities to buy himself more time to cover the 54 million.

Has anyone ever heard of or used BTC-E. It seems to be the only way to convert your bitcoins from a wallet to USD in paypal. Is it trustworthy, and is there a better way?
yeah btc-c.com is a legit exchanger that has been around for a long time. and i have used them before and i am using it from time to time. although i suggest you be careful when using paypal with these services since it is not really in their TOS to use bitcoin in any way.

it is obviously a Scam because if it was legit they would have given a link to their website and/or blog post talking about the same thing. it is just an spoofed email sent to you by a scammer trying to get some donation!

it is funny how stories about ethereum changed over time, at first (by the time of eth pump when there was all the drama+FUD about bitcoin) the price of bitcoin went down and they said bitcoin is dying and ETH WILL replace it then eth was pumped like crazy. now that the drama (until the next drama of course ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ) is over and bitcoin is rising the stories change into "ETH is good for BTC" and also talk of relationship between the two lol p.s. this topic is altcoin related by the way

Well why are you telling us this? I saw another thread where someone spent all their money on Bitcoin, are you just trying to mock that person?
this is just a troll topic, i am surprised why isn't it (re)moved already. the other topic which he is mocking at least had some good arguments inside about using USB and the risk of keeping it for long term without connecting to computer (without charge)

i don't really understand what you are getting at. as my above comment explained we are talking about trading crypto-currencies and it is mostly done on an exchanger which has zero reputation build up for the users. although there are other ways of trading like the P2P exchange (currency exchange board and sites like localbitcoins) but they are not really trading but more of a quick buy/sell.

i'm both excited and nervous as to what the future has in store for bitcoin. Will the bubble burst this year, and at what price would that be? If ever the price plummets, nobody knows to what levels it could fall. Should I sell when I'm at 50% profit already. But what if it reaches 100% just like it did last year? Ah, the dilemmas I'm facing.
there should be a bubble in the first place to burst, and there is none yet! and as for your selling, have you ever thought about not selling bitcoin and maybe look into bitcoin a little more to see what bitcoin is? and maybe use it as a currency instead of just some investment that you dump on the first rise!

not going to sell for sure, at the current existing situation the price is rising slowly and the buy support is very strong o reaching even $600 is nothing special and i will still wait for a lot more. i am a long term investor.

I mostly use faucets and reddit.

I am practicing how to make paper wallets.
I successfully made a paper wallet and i sent .001 btc to the paper wallet. Now my paper wallet has money in it (.001 btc)
Now, i am trying to export my money from the paper wallet. But how do i do that?
I don't see any option in the bitcoin core client desktop wallet to scan Paper Wallet's QR, so i am assuming it's not possible.
So what other options do i have to empty out my paper wallet and transfer the funds of it.
i am confused
i don't know about scanning the QR code but any wallet that you use has an option to import your private keys which you should already have just type the private key in the respective section and import or sweep the private keys to a new bitcoin address. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Help:How_to_import_private_keys_in_Bitcoin_Core_0.7%2B

First of all, Its not going to happen that Bitcoin's Price will be drop to $1 - But if it happens in my dream, I would buy 10000+ BTC and will wait for it's price to rise up and stable.
I will buy 10000 bitcoin, and give half of them to developers to develop the bitcoin so that the value will increase. if tomorrow bitcoin price drop to $10, i think all people would live bitcoin and maybe only you both want to buy bitcoin. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) loled for both comments ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) if the price drops to 1-10 it means bitcoin had a serious problem that lost seven billion market cap so no amount of development can fix it at that point it would be late. although this topic is overall pointless discussion about something that will never happen!

I find this choice of top 10 countries very strange. Where are Japan and Switzerland? Japan has recently announced they are going to acknowledge Bitcoin as a legitimate digital currency and it should be on the top of that list in my opinion. Also Switzerland is very open to fin-tech advancements in general so it wouldn't be a surprise if they legalize Bitcoin plus many of the Bitcoin companies have their headquarters in Switzerland. And I would include the Philippines in the top 10 as well.
My list would look like this:
1. Japan 2. Switzerland 3. Some Nordic country- Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland 4. Some emerging Asian country - the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia maybe 5. Some emerging African country - South Africa 6........ everyone else
Since the original article is over two years old, I am surprised Greece hasn't fully adopted bitcoin as their national currency yet Since that's when their woes started but then they kept getting bailed out by other countries so they said forget about it, we got enough money now ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) lol, that will never happen. the adoption of bitcoin as a national currency that is. it doesn't even matter that Greece national currency is going down the toilet, a nation wide adoption is not going to happen, bitcoin is not yet ready it is still volatile and not ready to be a full on currency yet.
