It's a matter of hours now... the bull pressure is to big, marketcap is still tiny, we can grow a lot in a matter of minutes if more money keeps coming in. I think we will see 700 before the halving, we can break the resistance without major problems.

Good post. I know a bunch of people that are simply lazy ass persons that just can't take the time to get Bitcoin Core downloaded, or AT LEAST Electrum and put the god damn bitcoins in a locally generated seed. What's so difficult about it? Im not even telling them to get a Trezor, I mean this shit is free.

But a lot of them wouldn't listen. They keep their bitcoins in the exchanges the use to buy and trade, they keep their bitcoins in those sites that generate bitcoin interest like Hashocean. I have told them Hashocean and all those sites are ponzis but they wouldn't listen. Then they will cry about Bitcoin not being secure... they just never learn.

Your thread makes no sense to be honest. It seems that your english is broken and just makes no grammatical sense.

You ask "Bitcoin until 2030", but you give 0 reasons of why Bitcoin would "stop existing" in 2030. This is just silly.

Please give what reasons have you read about Bitcoin "stopping" in 2030, otherwise this is just trash, to be frank.

Bitcoin is first of all, a better gold. Bitcoin as an actual currency where you buy everyday stuff is secondary, and will come later on. Points of sale (as in physical shops accepting Bitcoin) is the last phase of adoption. By then, people owning 2 figure BTCs will be rich and shopping will all be done in mBTC, and the price will be more stable due the high marketcap. We will also have Lightning to provide for massive amounts of volume.

Im not sure what will happen to alts, im only holding BTC long term.

People have been asking this since Bitcoin was 200 dollars.. so you can buy now or keep asking when the ideal price to buy Bitcoin is.

Also good luck when trying to sell, you may miss on having a ticket to moon when you think you are doing a great short.

I think that after gambling for some time you somehow become "skilled" at knowing when to stop. You develop a feel about it like a 6th sense that tells you: "stop now you idiot". I dont want to call it skill tho, but it's something strange. It doesn't mean you will win more, just lose less.

Nah I didn't feel like crying. I was just mad for some time, but it did not last, because at the end of the day I only lost 0.1 BTC.
If I had actually put 4 BTC to end up to 0, then yes I would cry and be mad for a month or two.

I found this picture posted somewhere and I think it's perfect to illustrate how bitcoin is a new type of money never seen before which has better characteristics than anything else we've ever had:

Bitcoin has teach me to value my money. I was never like this before, I would always buy all kind of meaningless shit. Since I am into bitcoin, I have learned to save and give more value to money. Bitcoin is too valuable for mundane stuff.

With sidechains we don't need to have the annoyance of having to maintain additional blockchains and having to deal with additional tokens which is just stressful. Maybe some find a niche Bitcoin but bitcoin will reaming the king.

All those devs promising a Bitcoin-killer are all talk and no code to be seen. Bitcoin has no real competition, sorry. Start buying and stop dreaming.

Those apps are way too popular to add something like Bitcoin yet. Most people don't know what Bitcoin is. In Steam is different since gamers are into computers, and may benefit from BTC. FB, IG users and so on are too dumb to benefir from Bitcoin yet, but we will get there eventually.

The most effective way that I have found to teach about Bitcoin is to make an analogy with Bitorrent. Most people know how torrent works, people connect to each other and there is no "bittorrent building" hosting all the files. With bitcoin is the same, but people host the blockchain instead of movies music etc.

Bitcoin is steady growing and getting better. For the past 7 years it has never stopped evolving. Anyone that knows how to put things into perspective see the improvements being done. 7 years may seem a lot of time, but its nothing in the grand scheme of things. We will conquer the world, we are on the right track.

My biggest loss was during a ame of progressive slot wins. I started with 0.1 BTC and worked my luck all the way up to more than 4 BTC, but I was too greedy and instead of cashing out I simply spent my time playing more and more.

I went from 0.1 BTC, to 4 BTC in 10 minutes, and from 4 BTC, to 0 BTC in 20 minutes.

I didn't cry tho..

Very interesting, considering where things are going, I wonder if this currency will be Bitcoin. 2 years from now is a short time, but by then we should have Lightning Network working nicely delivering worldwide volume transactions that would allow for constant global usage, so I wonder if Bitcoin can become a global currency in 2018 (it already is a global currency... I mean in a more mainstream way)

Actually I thought about starting a website where you can play live poker against other people online and you are forced to use a webcam to reveal your face to other players so it would feel a bi more like real life poker, but im sure it already exists even before I google for it..

Actually, any idiot can create an altcoin nowadays. There are literally programs that will create altcoins for you. Of course those programs are very limited in what you can do (you can change total supply, mining algo etc..) that's all. But then again, with a proper marketing scheme, you can pump an altcoin even it if offers shit nothing new. Example: Dogecoin.

100 BTC is way too much for 99% of people to buy at current price, it's simply too late to aim for 100, and as price goes higher it will be even harder.

The good news is, 21 BTC goal to be part of 1 million club is still reachable with hard work and dedication and smart investments.

You first say it can "never" do this, then you say "nowadays"... so decide if never or currently, because your sentence lacks sense.

Bitcoin will make banks obsolete if banks don't adapt to Bitcoin. There will always be people that want other people to hold their money for them, so "Bitcoin banks" will emerge.

Buy and holding 80% of what I make while investing 20% in researched market moves seems like the best idea and what is making me have the most profits. I take a conservative approach because I was sure that sooner or later price would go up, so holding most of it would be the most efficient way to raise my wealth.
