Hi there, I am doing a survey about Bitcoin and need your help!!!! My master thesis is about Bitcoin and I investigate behavior related to buy them within the next three months. My idea is based on some physiology behavior theories. I am specially looking for people who know Bitcoin already. Please take some time and help me out. http://ww2.unipark.de/uc/Bitcoin/Thank you Simon if you are really interested in knowing the behavior related to buy and sell bitcoin. i assure you that you can not get reliable results this way. first because the buyers with big pockets are not here and not gonna waste time on taking a survey. secondly no one can tell you what he/she is going to do according to buy or sell.

The first one is definitely a problem. Poor people can't rely on BitCoin.
Depends on the country. There are people from countries with high inflation, who benefited a lot from storing their wealth in Bitcoin, even if it is volatile. People really need to learn, that there are other countries in the world than the USA. nah this doesn't seem right. if anything, people from countries with high inflation can store their wealth in things that do not have price swings as big as bitcoin. like Dollar, Euro, any other currency, gold and other things that keep the value of their wealth. i doubt if someone converts their money into bitcoin when he sees this: http://www.coindesk.com/price/#2014-03-02,2015-03-02,close,bpi,USDor worse than that, this: http://www.coindesk.com/price/#2013-11-16,2015-03-02,close,bpi,USD

i don't get the increasing amount of hate towards litecoin, especially in this forum. every once in a while you see a new post or topic on "lite coin is dead" it is dying and so on. i am curious to know the reason of this much angry post on litecoin. don't get me wrong, i myself hate all the altoins and just trade them. never using or keeping any.

Anyone ever got the feeling that Bitcoin is too complex for the average person? The average person wants things as simple as possible, so when the word, Blockchain, Decentralization, etc, come into play, I feel that makes it too complicated for the average person to understand or even care.
maybe the main thing about bitcoin, how it works, blockchain and also downloading the 30 GB of data for a wallet! is kind of complex, i agree. but i think if we want to make it simpler there should be legit, secure and trustworthy services like online wallets namely blockchain.info, coinbase, xapo and so on so people can just buy and use bitcoin with simple clicks and fast

how many people should be able to get rich off bitcoin. Is there a limit of how many and or when bitcoiner's can get rich? the number of people who will get rich from bitcoin will be small since there are a lot of maipulation in price and as a result a lot of panic sells and stuff like that.
There is something about bitcoin that seems it could be a major economic driver with its frictionless abilities.
Does it matter if bitcoin's price is $1 $50 $100 $250 $300 $350, $1265, $2000, $5000? i think not! no matter what the price is or will be there always will be some people (experienced traders) who will profit by trading bitcoin at any price and fill their pockets while others buy with the hope of da moon and sell on the first deny in price!

reading through the other people's comments, made me wonder if it is really one of the satoshi's addresses or just some early adopter who probably mined the 264 th block, got the reward in one of hos addresses and gave up bitcoin, since the price was too low. if this is right we have a very sad person here who lost a great opportunity!

Sorry if this has been asked before, i did search.
So I've sent some BTC to an address over 30mins ago and still not even 1 confirmation. Firstly wouldn't this be an issue for BTC to ever be mainstream if you can't pay for things immediately in shops etc?
Also I presume the confirmation time will take longer the bigger the difficulty?
I think i've understood how it works correctly?
yeah, unfortunately this is one of the biggest concerns or problems about payments being done in bitcoin, i think the only major things bitcoin is good right now is for a few people who are trading it to make money and the other thing is for sending large sums of money especially oversees.

two things are wrong here first all the information anyone needs on crypto can be acquired from internet and for free second it can not even be paid for with cruypto !

Threads like these are the reason I don't read these boards that much anymore soo many misinformed and uneducated people, reading threads like these gives a me a sort of nasty brain freeze that ends up in a migraine The price us learned people must pay for bitcoin to become mainstream ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) exactly. recently i have been seeing a lot of posts on bitcoin failing, it is doomed and shit like that. but in fact i think it is another wave of mass manipulation of price

is it related to the Kim Dotcoin announcement?
Nope! it's not The OP is just a troll yeah, i agree. stating in your post over and over that you are not trolling does not change the fact that you are in fact trolling ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

i printtet out a paper wallet i created in bitadres.org and gave it too my bank to look after incase my haus burns down or i get robbed i said"this is a bitcoin paper wallet can you put this safe in my account" the lady said "yes mr. we will keep in a safe depoist box" i gave it she took it then i walked out then...
then i 3 days later i cheked my online woallet on blocchain and the MONEY WAS MISSING SHE STOLLED IT i avenet gone to police yet i dont evidence is ther any i can do
funny story bro, i loled so hard. i have never seen anywhere in the world where the "bank lady" puts your belongings in your safety deposit box, it was always your task to place them inside the box which you have the key to access it! and i believe there are far more valuable things in those boxes than your paper wallet!

if you do not have something like private keys or backup and you just formatted the associated drive on your HDD you might have a chance of recovering your wallet by using some sort of recovery program, i've used recoverforall so far for usb so far and it worked fine for recovering deleted files

Reason for "scam" ? Not enough money to pay user ?
yes, it means you visit their website, you increase their traffic so that they can get more advertisement and earn more money, you bring more people by advertising (reffs) and at the end you will get no payment.

For those who are too lazy to follow shorena's link..... Just use this since you can still generate TXs through blockchain.info: Please use this to push your TX through to the network: https://btc.blockr.io/tx/pushFind your TX in hex format by adding "?format=hex" to the end of the blockchain.info TX url. Then paste that number into: https://btc.blockr.io/tx/push and click 'push immediately'! I just heard about this "push" method how this method's works? by push bitcoin transaction to online node? because blockchain.info node is offline? Yes. bc.info is disconnected from bitcoin node network, so we have to push txs to node that is connected to bitcoin node network. or you can just wait for it to get fixed, it may take awahile though. Well, does bc.info broadcasts their internal txs after they are connected? I don't use their service, so not sure about that..... i think they will but i doubt if rebroadcasting it would cause any problem

Hi all, A bit new to this bitcoin currency, but already in love with it ^^ If my understanding is correct the security of the network is insured by millions of computers all over the world solving complex mathematical equations. Those calculations are rewarded by mining. A computer that help securising the network is rewarded this way. My question is, what will happen after all bitcoins are mined? or when it is no more profitable to keep mining? Who will ensure the security of the network then? Thank you. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) i think it is going to depend a lot on 2 things first the price of 1 BTC and then the price of the newer equipment for mining. miners can still profit from mining if there is only fees are considered as reward of the mined block and the prices that i mentioned are at a good ratio

your question is kindda weird! what exactly do you mean by cash out?! are you talking about a special website where you are earning BTC and want to cash out that amount or do you mean you want to spend your btc in your own wallet?

So I'm thinking about getting into bitcoin trading and stuff, and I plan to begin storing my first bitcoins soon. I've read for this sense it is much safer to have Linux than for example Windows (as it is for a lot of other aspects aswell). Do you think is this really a thing to consider? Do I need to have tons of bitcoins before I get concerned about their safety? Should I consider switching to Linux if I'm storing just a few of them, or is it stupid?
Thanks erry'one in advance.
you don't need to switch to linux just because of bitcoin, there are other ways for securing your bitcoin like paper wallet or like thisbut linux is more secure and if you are willing to migrate from "familiar" windows to a new environment then go for it, especially if the programs that you use day by day have also linux versions
