There are plenty of investments out there and bitcoin is only one of them. You dont have to convince anything to anyone, they have to do their own research and risk assessment. Just tell them you are playing with bitcoin and let them see the result by themselves. Action explain better than word, doesnt it?

Saya lebih setuju sama agan ini salah satu syarat untuk dijadikan mata uang adalah nilai yang cenderung stabil, nanti misal kita bayar barang pake 1 eth estimasi harga 12jt, eh besok harga eth melorot ke 8jt, bisa tekor itu penjual hahaha
Belom nanti kalo penjualnya mau cairin ke rupiah masih harus dipotong 1% sama VIP, nunggu exchanger lain ini biar ada kompetisi, biar agak murah fee withdraw nya

Pretty much agree with you, there still plenty of room to grow. Currently perhaps only 1% or world population know and actively involved in blockchain, more adoption, fix supply means higher demand and more expensive it will be
Just collect as much as we can now, dont forget to take some profit once in a while

Not as useless as you think, people already use it as an asset, speculative asset no more as transaction currency
More people getting on the train, the higher the price will be.
For transaction purposes, I still prefer ethereum, still the cheapest one

Pretty much agree with you, they deserve it because they provide us this place to grow together as a community. To be remembered, those 8000 bitcoins are not valued with current value, I believe it is accumulation since this forum was announced a few years back. Beside that, the value this forum gives bac to the community is more than 8000 bitcoins I suppose

I am from from you, my first time knowing about bitcoin, looking to know more about it when the price was around $4000 which was just few months ago
And just a week after I invest some of my money, China FUD taking crypto world like storm! I was panicked as a newbie and decided to cutloss, damn! regret that decision so much!
But I learned my lesson now  

How about to live a proper life with it where you can buy anything you need (and you want as well )
I guess maximizing its potential gain will be the goal, once cryptocurrency market cap reach at least stock market, then it will start slowing down
Lucky us to join so soon that we can benefit from it

Belum tentu sesukses negara lain sih, karena negara kita masih banyak yang belum terkoneksi dengan internet. Lagipula mayoritas masyarakat Indonesia terhubung ke internet melalui mobile bukan PC. Jadi akses ke teknologi blockchain menggunakan mobile tidak akan seefektif menggunakan PC walaupun masih memungkinkan. Tapi ya berharap saja yang terbaik, supya pemerintah mau beradaptasi dengan perkembangan jaman, jangan mala memusuhinya

Susah sekali memang bedainnya, tp yang paling jelas ya lihat saja dari fundamentalnya. Kalo project and developernya bagus mungkin saja harganya memang beneran naik, walau kadang ada manipulasi juga untuk sengaja menaikkan harga. Tapi kalo koin yang projectnya tidak jelas, roadmap ga ada, website berantakan, developernya ilang2an, kemungkinan besar itu pump and dump, lebih baik pergi jauh2.

I dont know much about faucet, I only used freebitcoin before. And by have been used this site, I can say no, it is getting more useful compared to previous time when bitcoin price is still cheap. Because this site gives you bitcoin depends on the fiat price of bitcoin. When bitcoin price increasing, it will give you smaller satoshi and otherwise. There will be time when it will give you not more than 0.1 sat LOL

No and Yes
No because it will be very difficult for the government to track our asset online, it is possible but too much works to be done even for a single person, so my answer according to this reason alone is no
Yes, because when we withdraw our digital asset to fiat, it will be automatically taxed by the exchange. I am not sure it this applies to other countries, but our local currency this rule applies, which is 1% for every withdrawal, considered quite a big amount in here.

Ini nih benar banget, ya kalo pada awalnya bitcoin diciptakan oleh penemunya ya untuk dijadikan sebagai mata uang digital yang digadang2 akan lebih efektif dr fiat. Tapi dalam perjalanannnya ternyata nilainya pun terus naik dan naik yang mengakibatkan fee transaksinya pun makin tinggi, tak aneh kalo akhirnya orang lebih banyak memilih menjadikannya sebagai aset investasi. Bahkan kebanyakan orang Indonesia menggunakan wallet dr VIP drpd wallet btc pada umumnya, ya untuk menyiasati fee yang tinggi ini

Actually I have no idea how it works and how much it cost for a single transaction, because currently there is no ATM in my country yet. But I heard from someone that Bitcoin ATM charge its user an extremely high fees, like 5-10%, WTF! Based on that fact alone, I prefer not to use it even if I see one here in my country
Ethereum is still my favorite, the congestion era due to cryptokitties is over now, everything's good

Saya sekarang sih udah ga mau berurusan lagi sama transaksi menggunakan bitcoin, selain biaya nya yang muahal sekali, banyak yang komplain juga kalo transaksinya unconfirmed berhari-hari bahkan seminggu lebih
Kalo emang terpaksa butuh nerima bitcoin ane milih pake wallet VIP aja deh, tp mau kirim2 atleast ke ETH yg lebih murah, atau kalo memungkinkan ke ETC yang lebih murah lagi dan cepat

I agree, volatile, slow and the fee is exceptionally higher compared to fiat. I will pick other cryptocurrency any time except there is a case I have no other choice not to use it. It is a good one to be kept as an asset, better than gold, better than stock, even better than property in this overbought property market, atleast in my country. At the end of the day, just buy and hodl

Honestly I am not an economic guy, I dont even know why we need futures, let alone bitcoin futures
Why do we have to trade its future price when we can trade it at its current price? It's all money game created by wallstreet wolf too make small investors get wrecked LOL

But from the positive side, we can have more and more adoption by its listing as more investors are joining

Best explanation, I found my answer too here
Less and less coins are mined time by time, and world population keeps increasing which obviously outnumber coins produced as from statistic perspective alone
Other than that, bitcoin is the new gold now aside from its volatility, it gives a lot better return than real gold

I also suffer losses, but this kind of correction is indeed necessary as a healthy grow, because bitcoin price has been skyrocketted with no brake fr the last few weeks, so this huge correction is expected I believe
But I will still keep hodling because it will rise even further as it always did

Saya setuju sama agan numanoid, satu2nya solusi menghilangkan sampah di forum ini ya dengan cara menghilangkan si pembuat sampah itu sendiri. Percuma capek2 bersihin sampah, kalo yang buang sampah sembarangan justru lebih banyak lagi. Punya bbrp akun silakan orang tidak melanggar aturan, tp kalo ga punya skill posting, jadinya cuma bisa posting one line, join airdrop, good luck, success for the project, dll ya mending dibumihanguskan beserta semua alts nya

Damn! 288k! I thought we already have many miners already LOL
But I agree with your suggestion, let it rest for a while, do not do any transaction for a while. Do not let the miners increase their fee as much as they want
