22021  Economy / Speculation / Re: is another bubble coming? on: June 19, 2015, 06:18:25 AM
while another bubble is going to happen in the future, i don't think that we can call the recent movement the beginning of the bubble.
so to answer your question it seems to me that this is the stop for the time being.
22022  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 bitcoins. Will I be a millionaire by 2020? on: June 19, 2015, 06:00:46 AM
honestly i don't think we can reach prices above $10000 by 2020 so you can be a millionaire by 2020 by holding 100 BTC.
i think the bitcoin price is going to be much more that what it is right now but to reach a ridiculously high price i think it is not possible. and i personally prefer to do different stuff with my money rather than keeping it hold up in somewhere and not spending it.
22023  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Lost coins... on: June 19, 2015, 05:52:42 AM
this is obvious but ... did you create the address 14HXNqSefPtNfDyHtfeMv1Hngx3W5JfgW6 with Electrum or imported private keys from somewhere else into electrum? you can't recover imported addresses with seed.

do this instead:
if you still have a back up from your old wallet file (not the seed) you can restore it in previous version of Electrum.
22024  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: June 19, 2015, 05:24:45 AM
the best way is to invest on good altcoins as to sell btc on high and buy more when they lower.... altcoins are getting a good investment on them over 100btc trades as 300 btc on them soo must be online and get in and out in small positions.... this can be done easy on 3 hours with proof

But don't you think that altcoins are too risky to invest in? As I have never used altcoins neither have invested in it have only heard that it is more volatile then bitcoins and there are chances that you may go through the losses in future.
yes, investing in altcoin market has high risks. but remember with high risks comes great rewards. go check out some of the altcoin's price charts and see for yourself that how much profit and opportunity is available in that market.
i am not saying that it is easy and whoever enters will be rich. all i am saying is that it is possible to earn a good profit from altcoin trading with some work and research.
22025  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use cases. What do you actually use Bitcoin for? on: June 19, 2015, 05:18:00 AM
I use Bitcoin for a few main reasons. One main reason is for online purchases. In my opinion, Bitcoin is way easier and convenient to use for making online purchases. I prefer Bitcoin over Paypal. I also use Bitcoin as a hobby and for speculation.

Paypal is something very boring and hectic and I think now it has become a history. Bitcoin is a future and will change the financial system for sure and I generally prefer it for online money transfers as it is very safe and at lower fees and also a time saving process.
The main problem is getting the BTC in the first place. The average joe sees a hassle to convert their dollars or euro into BTC before purchasing or paying. Only when jobs are offered to be paid in BTC we'll see more usage by "normal" people.

That is true If the companies starts paying their employees their salary in Bitcoins then it would create a great impact the adoption and the usage of bitcoins, We want that the demand of bitcoins should go high then only there would be a stability in the value of bitcoins.
i think we still have a long way to go until employers can pay their employees their salary in Bitcoins. and employees want their salary in bitcoin. because there is still not enough usage for bitcoin to make this plausible. for example if you want to pay your mortgage, buy groceries, pay the bills and all other expenses, you have to pay with fiat (for most of them). and this means just an additional work to pay for things.
22026  Other / Off-topic / Re: When and why did you start using Bitcoin? on: June 19, 2015, 04:55:40 AM
i started using bitcoin in 2014 about a year ago. it is around the same date i registered here.

but i have heard about bitcoin much longer before that. maybe around 2-3 years, around the time when everybody was doing solo mining and bitcoin price was skyrocketing through the roof.

the reason that i started using bitcoin was mostly because i liked the technology and idea behind it and also i find trading a great way to earn some extra money.

Bitcoin is 7 years old now and we started one year back we were very late go get into bitcoins. Just imagine if we would have invested at the time of its inception today it would be different stories for us.
yeah. imagine that back then (2010) there was a faucet that gave out 5 free bitcoins to people.

i found this old thread a while back, the giveaway was held by Gavin Andresen and here is the link to a part of bitcoin history
22027  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: Should you stay or should you go? on: June 19, 2015, 04:42:55 AM
I'm of the view Bitcoin is still in its infancy and is comparable to the internet in 90s . I'm confident we're gonna see an explosion in interest AND price before 2016

hodl hodl hodl you can't go wrong, , if things around BTC goes wrong ,you will have a wallet containing a bit of history of the Internet Smiley


If you hold make it sure that you hold it for a longer period of time. Then only you would make profit out of it so having patience and keeping in a cold storage for a longer period of time would be a better option and you simply cannot afford to leave bitcoins at a moment.
i agree. i think you have to make up your mind about what kind of investor you want to be. if you believe in bitcoin and consider its future bright, you should buy at a point that you feel comfortable and then hold it for long term.
but if you want to day-trade and just profit from the swings and more importantly you have confidence that you can do this, then you can invest short term and get the profits.
22028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: June 19, 2015, 04:38:53 AM
Today is an awesome day to own Bitcoins.   Lips sealed

This time next week will be even awesomer.   Grin
not so fast my friend. today is an awesome day for bitcoin, but next week we can be back at where we were previous week.
at least give it a couple of month and it will become awesome again.

I agree, bitcoin is on a major rise now ..

Tell that to the guys who purchsed Bitcoin when the exchange rate was going at $1,200 per coin. Bitcoin has lost 80% of its value, from its peak, which was reached in December 2013. No fiat currency has suffered such a crash. The worst performing fiat currency is the Ukrainian Hryvnia, which has seen its value dropping by 60%.
those guys who bought at $1200 and hold their coins this long, should never consider investing in anything.
22029  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you use your paper wallets for? on: June 19, 2015, 04:33:07 AM
I just found out that you can't withdraw a designated amount of Bitcoin from paper wallets, you can only sweep or import them.

This seems kind of weird to me. What is the point of a paper wallet if its sole purpose is to later on be swept clean of its coins? If security is an issue, wouldn't it make more sense to have a software bitcoin wallet that runs off an encrypted usb drive?

i think you would better ask your question. i mean what do you really want to do.

if you want to keep your coins somewhere safe, for a long term investment and use them / sell them after the price went up (like 1-2 years later) paper wallet is the best choice.

if you want to keep your coins safe but use them any time you want, for example if you have like 10BTC and want to spend 1 today and add 2 tomorrow, offline wallets like Electrum (offline) is your choice.

the reason you sweep paper wallet is that when you use your private keys if your computer is compromised you can very easily lose that private key. so it is better to sweep it in a new address.
22030  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alt coin rise? on: June 18, 2015, 06:45:12 AM
New coins or old coins doesn't matter to me. It's just nice to see some btc flowing into the alts once again.
i agree, it is always good to see more bitcoin is getting into altcoins everyday. but i think the reason for this was the stable bitcoin price for the last few weeks. and if the bitcoin price continues to rise i fear there will be so many cash-outs from altcoin market.
22031  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Anybody else getting screwed by Poloniex? on: June 18, 2015, 06:42:17 AM
there is absolutely no reason to stay in  Poloniex anymore. they don't have anything special and different from other exchangers.
use bittrex instead, it has the same trade volume and doesn't need you to jump through hoops to be able to trade / withdraw / deposit there.
22032  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Forget about Faucets - share your own Videos and stuff for BTC / BitTorrent... on: June 18, 2015, 06:37:50 AM
i think this project is going to encounter a lot of problems with copyright materials.
there is a lot of fuss going on about torrents as it is and copyright. the moment torrent starts to monetize copyrighted materials i think there is going to be a shit-storm of lawsuits.
22033  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Best investment place? Mining or Investing or Trading? on: June 18, 2015, 06:28:34 AM
honestly i don't trust any cloudmining services. and more importantly i personally don't like putting my money somewhere or give it to someone and they give my profit little by little.

i think your best option is to start trading with your bitcoins. you can gain good profit from day-trading bitcoin / USD if you know the markets.

additionally if you like altcoin market, there are a lot of good opportunities there and you an make a bigger profit in trading bitcoin / altcoin. but you have to learn it first. and it needs dedication.
22034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: June 18, 2015, 06:10:02 AM
You are wrong, in some way of dice martingale do work but you can't be greedy. At first I didnt believe martingale really work too until someday there

are people share their trick then poof it change my mind
would you mind sharing their trick that you saw with me to change my mind too. because honestly i don't see how it can be possible to win using martingale and more importantly profit from it.
22035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: June 18, 2015, 06:02:24 AM
i found my self broke because gambling
i found my life in a mess because gambling

but because gambling too suddenly rich, suddenly be a billionaire
because gambling too you know what it is the real have fun

how about you?

is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?
i think gambling addiction and especially online will wreck your life if you are addicted to it. but gamblings like poker for example can make you good profit if you are good at it and have enough experience and mentality to win.
although you can make profit from gambling but i don't think you can become a billionaire from gambling .

p.s. you should make a poll.
22036  Economy / Speculation / Re: The funniest thing about all of this: on: June 18, 2015, 05:54:12 AM
I think the people who say bitcoin is going to 10/100k or some other silly number are just as ridiculous as the bitcoin is dead people. Both never offer anything as to why it going to either die or go to the moon. Nobody can predict where bitcoin is going. Sure, it could become worth tens of thousands but it could also become worthless. We can only wait and see.
well said.
i have the same feeling too. i don't want to say that OP is trolling or anything but whenever i read a post on bitcoin is dead or even a post on bitcoin is going to be worth bijillion dollars, i see it as a trolling attempt which is honestly getting old.

no one can predict the price that long, since we are at $240, you can not call a price that is way high like $10000 or even $1000 nor a low price like around $100. and especially without any proof or at least some reasonable charts.
22037  Economy / Speculation / Re: [POLL] You'll sell your BTC @ what price ? on: June 18, 2015, 05:41:54 AM
i will never sell all my bitcoins no matter what the price is. that is for sure.

but i plan to sell some if the price goes past $400 since i bought a lot of my stash back when it was as low as  $200 and that would be a nice profit for me.

and if the price goes as high as $1000 i would sell more of my stash for the bigger profit, but even then i am going to hold some of it since i like and believe in bitcoin's future.
22038  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin Bull Market Coming? on: June 18, 2015, 05:35:52 AM
i think it is so soon to call it a bull market. especially now that the price is back down to $240.
for now it looks like the price rising has stopped and it is going to stay this way for longer.
22039  Economy / Speculation / Re: back to 220 tomorrow time to sell is now on: June 18, 2015, 05:31:35 AM
again with this guy.
you keep posting every couple of days calling a drop in price. and so far you were wrong!
a couple of weeks a go you were claiming that price is going to go under $200 with massive dumps and none of what you have claimed happened so far...
22040  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help, Bitcoin Never Reached My Wallet on: June 18, 2015, 05:21:16 AM
~~~
This is my bitcoin address, the one I used when transferring: 1DkPa12uuJAdeS8dkxseZBRe8iQ4GUHdpq.

My question is: Could my client be compromised, somehow. Making alias addresses that all point or link to different  addresses? Is this even possible in the bitcoin world?
If not what happened? Why were my bitcoins sent somewhere else even though I specified my address as the destination address?

Thanks.
it is possible for a malware to mess with your clipboard and change what you copied. for instance you copied your address which was 1Dk.... but pasted a different one 12HA.....
if so, clean your computer with an antivirus or anti malware and start fresh.

if not.
before anything make sure that you have copied and pasted the same address in your withdrawal request. and if that is not the case contact virwox.com support, because this is their mistake.
