to my knowledge there is no major banking system that accepts bitcoin. and i don't see them doing it in the future either. because they are working with fiat that they can control, they might start investing in bitcoin to earn profit but not accepting it

i just can not agree with this, there will be a lot of interesting events in bitcoin world such as block size limit debate and the halving event, this will surely move the price either up or down
Incoming halving, steam maybe accepting btc as payments. I think this is nice signs for nice things to happen, nothing is happening over night. I dont think why people are so impatient with that btc price. Let it go, play games, earn it, gamble it rise will come for sure in some moment. Steam users dont need bitcoin to do what they are already doing There should be something unique which can be done only with bitcoins for that to happen or else it is the same fake bumps and dumps manipulating the prices and creating a fake appearance,which is obviously boring ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) it is an additional way of introducing bitcoin to other people and moving towards the mass adoption goal. there should be ways that other people can see bitcoin in practical ways and not just a super risky investment. in other words it is moving towards becoming a currency.

There is one advantage that I got from gambling; A feeling of involvement. I played on Luckyb.it and the community there is great. So it was hard to stop.
If you are betting the faucet money on Luckyb.it then it shouldn't be that bad and in turn you could have fun while betting and make some buddies to chit-chat ,which is more like an advantage.However this doesn't fulfills the addiction and people don't intend to do so. the faucet payments on these sites are so small that you can not even get anywhere with them. besides there is always long waiting periods between each faucet request so you have to wait if you lose which really sucks. the only thing that is good and free is their promotional giveaways. like what PrimeDice does from time to time, they giveaway some good amounts that you can really bet with and grow them if you are lucky.

My favorite gambling game is poker its easy and fun. I also like dices its only very risky to do, but gambling is always risky.
dice is more risky than the others because dice can drain your money fast. Unlike on poker you can control your play and its base skill game its better to play in live poker games that can make more money if you are skill enough.. the reason why dice is draining your bankroll fast is because you are using martingale strategy and doubling your bets each time (or any other crazy multiplier you use). this will cause the bet amount grow super big super fast. you can choose another method so you get the same feeling of playing any other game.

it seems like my wishes are coming true. long ago on this topic i said that in addition to a lot of other stuff i would love to buy games and game items from steam with my bitcoins; and today i read here on the forum that steam is going to start accepting bitcoin. so i guess it is finally started to happen.

finally, it seems like our requests finally got to them. but it tool them so long.
i personally have submitted the request for adding bitcoin to their services about 6 months ago, where they responded negatively.
it is good to see that they have turned around.

Hello am new in bitcoins and i saw in some post in other web about cloud mining but am not sure at all if is profitable i mean better then do faucets? can someone explain more about it and give some good cloud mining webs thanks BTCin my experience all of the cloudmining websites are a waste of time, no exception. you will not get any decent profit from doing cloudmining, and that is only in case they are legit and don't run away with your money. only thing that is profitable about cloudmining is (or i better say was) trading GHS (buy low sell high)

I'm holding a few coins and I would like to invest one or two Bitcoins.
So, what's your advice?
always invest any amount that you can afford to lose because investment is a risky business. and if you want to invest, i suggest investing in altcoin market. again it is risky, but it is a very profitable market especially these days.

when opening PrimeDice i receive this message in my browser: This webpage is not available
A secure connection cannot be established because this site uses an unsupported protocol. i am using Opera 34.0.2036.50 You should update your browser then. Or use another browser. Opera 35 was just released so 34.0 is not supposed to be out dated yet. since the error is saying "unsupported protocol" i think there might be some issue with your ssl configuration. i don't have any experience with opera but the same thing can happen in IE and enabling "use ssl 3.0" from internet option > advance fixed the issue. Opera might be using same configuration as IE

~~ I pretty much feel the opposite way. If Bitcoin dies, those altcoins aren't going to survive either. No matter which alts stay and go, Bitcoin will always stay. As far as being 'declared dead', that's happened a hundred times since its inception.
i am thinking the same way. but i say it totally depends on the situation that might go down. for instance if bitcoin died due to a security issue or something wrong with the whole cryptocurrency idea (which is not gonna happen) then all of the altcoins would have died too. because people are not going to look for an alternative for a failed thing. but if dies because of circumstances like a worthy competition like an altcoin which actually offers useful features (nothing found yet!) that particular altcoin can replace it.

I think indeed it is wiser to go buy it now. Because the price is in fact now very low and I think it is now a good time to buy it. Also because I think the fact is worth a lot more later.
Yes indeed, the bitcoin is gonna rise to a high amount. I think buying bitcoins now it the best thing you can do for later. Yap its slowly rise..i think its a good idea by buying bitcoin invest and play trading..why shouldnt we buy btc to earn more btc and convert it to real money ..as long as its profit for us why not.. usually when we talk about buying bitcoin, we mean buying bitcoin to hold for the future. not trading it. if you are a day-trader, yes it is what you do, you buy bitcoin and sell it higher to convert back to cash and use the cash. not use bitcoin.

very interesting topic. and it is funny because i was actually thinking about this. on how many people are "earning a living" not just a small amount as a side job hobby thing. i hope they come forward and tell us about it. Hello guys,
how many of you are earning for living just with bitcoin base projects? If so, can you contribute what do you do?
i myself have been earning small amounts through signature campaign and trading part time in small amounts so far. so i can not call it earning for living by as i said on top, i am really thinking about it.

I believe c-cex, Bter are good places to trade. Both have a good security and are nice places to trade. Both are trusted, can't go wrong with them.
c-cex is the worst platform for trading anything. it has the worst design, it does not look good or easy at all. worst of all is its API, it is total crap. you can't get and easy orderbook. and worst of all is the 5 second mandatory delay between requests. and don't get me started on bter, after the stolen 7170 bitcoin the exchanger is dead.

these services have always been like this, their rules have all sorts of loophole that they take maximum advantage of. since they are not earning enough money ever, they try and force their users to not withdraw so they don't have to let money out of their pocket. like what they are doing here by forcing you to invest in their service!

we would all be happy if bitcoin were rallying. but sadly it is not.
currently there is a lot of stops that are preventing it to go up as we all were speculating because of the block halving. the resistance around $400 is big that it needs a large amount of buy orders to break it. and not to mention the recent bitcoin classic drama that has everybody confused and worried.

i am very interested in Multisignature Wallets these days. they sound awesome. you create a wallet which will require two sets of separate signatures in order to spend the bitcoin, then you keep the two wallets (two signatures) on two different machines. they can be both offline too. then the chance of both of them getting infected is reduced dramatically.

I think it so fast and furious for gambling.. independ on you have strategy or not ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ... make a big money or lose all your money on one click => housing very like this. There is no strategy in dice; it's a game purely based off luck. Whether you have strategy or not, you still may lose. there is no good strategy in dice but there are strategies that you can use in order to play better and your win won't be a total bullshit. even the popular method of martingale can be considered a strategy (not a good one) but it is still a strategy and In my opinion is better than playing just randomly.

After primedice gave away some prices last week. I wonder how much people turn that bonus in a big win with there so called verified fair system. I lost all what about your results?
oh, thanks for the reminder. i have forgotten about receiving the giveaway. of course i have only participated in one of them (the 0.005 BTC giveaway). now i am going to put some autobet strategy on and test out my luck after a long time. if history is any indication i am going to lose all of it in a jiffy ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
