Doesn't look that good but still some time left for today.....

payday today?

It is a real shame that Cryptsy has fallen in this way, I always saw them as one of the better exchanges, once I started to read about withdraw issues I removed the small amount of altcoins I had left in there.

This is another reminder that large amounts of bitcoin should not be trusted on exchanges, Bittrex is a good alternative for altcoin trading and also poloniex.

I think it would depend on which country you are in and how the banks feel towards bitcoin, I would guess that your chances would be slim though.

your best chance is to have a look and find a current avatar campaign and apply, you could be waiting a while otherwise.

I have seen stories of banks investing in the blockchain technology but am yet to see any about them investing in bitcoin itself.

have a look at coinbase they are legit and should be able to sort you out.

I thought the same from the subject from nothing to something indicates that you had nothing, good luck with your bet even with crazy odds there is still always a chance of a win.

I would say it is gambling as you are using your coins which you received from the faucet so the coins are really yours and you are risking them.

Check out that link that was sent to you earlier in the thread it is kept up to date and gives you all the information you are looking for.

I think that is quite optimistic unless a whole load of things fall into place and bitcoin is adopted by a few lsrge companies, perhaps 2017 it could hit that level?

I agree, your best bet is to purchase $100 worth of bitcoin or look into mining some altcoins and then exchange them for bitcoins, it is just too difficult right now to mine bitcoin at that level.

Fair point, it is good for people new to pick up a small amount of satoshi to get used to wallet transactions and what bitcoin is before they go all in and purchase some. 
I know some people hate them and think it's a waste of time, but for some people just coming into bitcoin faucets are invaluable.

If you have free electricity and already have your own hardware then you should make a tiny profit but it really is difficult now to come away with anything major.  Cloud mning is hit and miss, a lot of the sites have gone and there are a lot of scam sites around that will just take your money and run.

I picked up some hashpower from Genesis mining and it will take me the whole year to get roi and with the reward halving coming up I am not sure roi will even happen.

Out of the two I would choose to mine yourself only after you work out if t will be profitable. there are also other altcoins you could mine, you can look in the alternative section to find out more.

Yeah nothng crazy will happen like losing your coins or anything like that, you will be just sending the coins to yourself minus the fee.

Around 2012 heard of it but never gave it must attention which is a shame for me!  then got back to it when there was a news story about some guy chucking out his hard drive which was worth a lot of money, this was 2013.

I have heard of this a short while ago and it does look promising, I second the opinion that there is potential for it to go to the dark side but this must have been thought of, perhaps there is some kind of moderation that will take place and keep it legit.

Why not lol but remember what goes up must come down.

$500 in the next few days would be a talking point, with all the halving chat it might hit $500 by this time next week or at least this month..... maybe

Just noticed overnight it has jumped up a good bit, I am with OmegaStarScream I would like a bit more time to gather my eggs
