You can avoid the fees if you use electrum where you can set it to zero. But you must fulfilled certain conditions like age and size of the transaction. If you are sending large tx who cares of the fees which adds up few cents. So it all depends on how you look at it.

Great...another one. I bet just like in July we can see a sudden price drop. But this time it might be different cause we are at the 300 support level so probably after that it will be a quick rebound back to 400-ish. If i knew earlier about the auction i would hold off my btc purchase.

I bet by using btc you saved a lot on the fees. Coupled of years back around 2012 when i was accepting large payment for sale of items i should have thought of using btc. But then can't blame myself cause btc infrastructure during then wasn't as good as today.

More than 50%. I was lucky I went into the right industry that practically pays you according to the salary scale based on your newly acquired skills and training plus also the experience. So bitcoin is considered like an extra hobby for me rather than fully depending on it.

Not sure if speed buying can help you take advantage of the spread but if that is the case and you are so confident that usd will crash, then just directly buy euro against usd. Use some of the fx service that let you hedge 100 times your available fund.

Maybe one day somebody would set up a new video sharing site where there won't be so much restrictions and they have an advertising program that really pays in btc. Whether it is by pay-per-view or by active click, that would be awesome oh yeah and also an affiliate program

That reminds me of an article which I read in a local newspaper about an investment banker who advices people against investing in bitcoin as what he call a "fake money". If only I wish he fully realized what he was talking about. I bet he'll get bombarded by community members here

Well if you go to coinmarketcap you can see there is a small graph on your right hand side that practically shows the price movement history. Just need to click the "all" tab. However the information is far from complete as the graph functions are limited and will only give you a rough overview. Probably there are better graphs, may some other members will point it out

Time will tell. Continue to promote coin existence. Target group is definitely those who frequently make cross border transactions. Although I can't say there are many stores accepting bitcoin payment but who cares whether you spend it or not? Put bitcoin as form of investment. I'm sure people would take notice of that. But as I've said....still a long way to go

Huh? Virtual expo? There is no mention of keynote speaker (if there is any) and also can't find information on the organizer. Anyway I've sent in my application. Just waiting for my invite pass.

I just checked the price on coinmarketcap and it is still at around the same level days ago. If the guy bought btc from open market, that would translate to price jump but no... so probably my guess is some early adopters moving around or consolidating the btc to their own new account perhaps?

The statement "Store of value" should belong to bitcoin. Just to be fair towards this community. Btc price though has been decreasing but I can see that 300 usd seems to be the bottom support. Just bought my small stash at 350 so I expect to go up in years to come

Yeah you do have a valid point there. That clears off a lot of doubts that I had initially. And appreciate your effort to point that out in a more constructive manner.

If your concept is buy at the lowest price then euro is the option. Usd is rallying against all currencies right now. If buying based on trend then basically you are going against the flow. Either way it still goes back to similar like betting euro against usd. Hope you've made the right choice. Heard they say the usd rally is just at its beginning

For now bitcoin is all about acceptance. It's backed by community support and people's belief in it as reflected in the increasing hash rate. If you take something tangible and try to use it as a medium to support bitcoin, not sure how that would work out. Could that item be quantified and more valuable than bitcoin.... i really don't have the slightest answer.

Bitcoin is owned by the community and it's not possible for the community to buy something let's say gold to keep it and support each and individual coin??

Maybe not right now but in few more years to come there would be significant changes. What I would like to see is a complete tour package from accommodation to foods to sightseeing all in one. To think of it that gives me a business idea on creating one. Would certainly sell for bitcoin lovers

Is there a date stamping mark that appear on every coin? Other than the blockchain transaction history would there be any other  significant marking on the coin itself??? Rather than coins i would rather collect historically significant addresses

Well you guys do have a point, but there is also chance that thousands of these shenedigans probably might not notice anything as demonstrated by this coincreator dot net. Thing is one does not need to be a master coder but probably just the basic of programming will be enough to get through. Why not we ask ourselves....Statistic wise how many of these thousands of altcoin have the blend of the word "innovation" in it?

Unless that account holds significant amount of bitcoin like probably few hundred thousands, i believe technologically people can still find a way to recover the private key. Whether they invest in super hardware or by other means, it will just take considerably long time to do that. But first the question is.... is the reward worth all the trouble???

Obviously it shows that they do see it as a threat whether it translate to less earning or up to the extent of survival. But seriously is there really such a thing as a level playing field. If there is there won't be large corporations that monopolize certain field. Especially in our today's competitive business world.
