I would use a Bitcoin Debit Card like a Xapo or a Bit-X one, but unfortunately I don't think they ship to the good ole USA.
If they did, I'd put away my bank card for awhile and use it in a heartbeat...

Hello!
Actually what is a cold storage (in bitcoins)?
I didn't get it..
Cold storage doesn't have private keys or what? If it have a private key then cold storage can also be hacked by some malware, keyloggers, etc., right?
An online wallet can be used as a cold storage?
Or
i should have any special equipments for cold storage?
Cold storage is something like bit mixer/laundry?
Cold storage transactions are off blockchain?
~Rude Boy
Easiest way to break it down. Hot = Online, always connected. Could be web wallet or desktop wallet or mobile phone wallet Cold = Offline, never connected. Could be paper wallet, usb drive, or air gapped hard drive |

Ahh the wealthy elite thread! It always brings a grin to my face during this tough period of growth.
Knowing so many others are in the same boat, waiting for Bitcoin to develop...
To hell with waiting, I'm helping to make it happen  www.incryptex.comthat website is bizonkers. i have literally never seen anything like that in my life. i didn't even know that was technically possible. did you guys hire freaking actors, photographers and cinematographers for the wallpaper of your website!?!? Yes, we did We are not another hobby company. Could you tell us if it was under pain of death?
I'm a real loyal employee. Let's not find out, eh? There are a lot of things I might do to avoid my death. If it's me or you, It's you. And I like you!  Just watched that Incryptex video once again. Very slick site animation and cool video, Biomech! Just tell those actors not to carry around 100 BTC on their mobile phones though!!!  |

Easiest way to get Bitcoin....BUY IT!  I mean, if you have $5, $10, $100 just go to Coinbase, Circle, or LocalBitcoins and buy the damn thing. So easy. In life, there are no handouts... |

Believe it or not, this is the first I've heard about Buttercoin.
Sucks, because like others are saying, it's a further stain on failed Bitcoin ventures that never met their promise.
Somehow, I think whoever came up with the name, deserves a big smack upside the head. Buttercoin! Sounds like another shitcoin to be perfectly honest...

And I used to trust coinbase's security.
Now the question is will coinbase honor the btc from the victims that will fall for this.......I think not.
If Coinbase did get hacked, they should address on their blog or send a mass email warning all their userbase immediately. That said, if you've been using Coinbase, you most likely have 2 Factor Authentication involved for any transactions, so any fool that falls for this, kinda deserves it. 2FA man, 2FA! No one blindly sends money to an address or QR code without 2FA!!! |

Anyone that accepts Bitcoin is A-OK in my book. F#ck the issues!  lol I hear ya. I wish he were running as an Independent tho, I'll never vote Republican even if they promise to make bitcoin the national currency and give a free pet monkey to every US citizen. Seriously tho move this thread to politics forum. Done! I know how you feel, as I've always voted Democrat for some reason, but that last few terms have left a bad taste in my mouth, so I can't really support any political party really. At the end of the day, all these parties will screw you one day, whether it'd be taxes, new laws, social reform, or otherwise. I'm just deciding to vote with my wallet.dat now! |

I would buy Bitcoin because.. The average joe in the street doesn't know what the hell it is! I like knowing things, before the masses do, for better or for worse!  Guess that makes me a Crypto Hipster.   |

^Yep, while Bitcoin price tanked today, LEOCoin's price NEARLY TRIPLED Just like Auroracoin, Darkcoin, Paycoin, etc., etc. Never fails....  |

Even though we touched it back in 2013, $1000 just seems so far away in 2015...  I know 1 BTC is still equal to 1 BTC, if you never sell, but sometimes being a bag holder is as much mental as it is digital, no matter how much you believe in it...  |

For investors that want to invest in Bitcoin, but in the more traditional fiat based way, you can probably get in on GBTC and COIN when it eventually launches:
-snip-
Is that a legit site? Seems a little bit fishy for me. If you're talking about Ticker symbol GBTC which will represent BIT (Bitcoin Investment Trust) on the OTC markets, that's as legit as it gets. Look up Barry Silbert. He's in charge of BIT. As far as the Winklevii, I'm sure you've heard of them in the news, and heard of their ETF, COIN, as well as their upcoming exchange, Gemini. All fully regulated and legitimate awaiting launch sometime this year. |

So, is bitcoin money or currency?
Bitcoin is money, currency, AND probably the most relevant and best feature...a protocol. Bitcoin's Blockchain sets it apart from the fiats and golds...  |

Satoshi is too busy with his train hobby:  Oh you mean THAT Satoshi! Well, we'll never truly know for sure...  |

Until now , I do not know what is paper wallet. Hope that I can understand it from everyone's answer
Paper wallets are Bitcoin wallets made out of paper containing your public wallet address, QR code and funded with your Bitcoins for storing or spending.    Ideally, you'd want the private key....private. Otherwise, someone else can have control over your stash. |

I am using Coinbase Bitcoin Core 0.10.0
So which one is it? Coinbase wallet or Bitcoin Core wallet? Both are completely different from one another. Coinbase is a web wallet and Bitcoin Core is a desktop wallet. |
