When I checked the price for a set of signatures of individual users, no one takes less than 0.10 BTC - even at the current price of BTC.
I remember there are designers who are willing to give away free signature BB codes and their samples also looks good. For them, this type of contest will get the chances to prove themselves. I believe, for an aspiring designer, the prize money will not be concern but, winning only matters to them. Hope to see such people competing here.

For now i am currently using an exchanger in our place. Although i am hearing other bitcoin users that it is not safe to use this type of wallets. I am actually planning to use an electrum wallet but i was still thinking about it
Electrum is quite a useful wallet . If you want to know more about various wallets and their advantages and disadvantages then kindly have a look at this link https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet and then decide according to your need the best wallet for you. In my case I am using right now xapo (web wallet and I use it because it covers the fees of tx ) though I have used almost all the wallets.

As a user who can, has, and does use Bitcoin for 'speculation and profiteering', criminalization would suck. For someone who is already a criminal the suckage is much less. Even between these two classes there are areas of overlap. The set of things I am interested in include, for instance, certain kinds of equipment. Say, an airplane. A drug-runner has a different set of interests but an airplane is in many cases one of these. The upshot is that there will always be this overlap between the black market and the mainstream. Bitcoin could easily help in this such transactions due to it's historic acceptance and usability. If not Bitcoin than something else.
In any environment the value of the currency will be largely associated with 'velocity' an 'propensity to hodl' (Satoshi having simplified the currency base part of the equation in the design phase.) The reality of black markets is such that we are probably at a tiny fraction of where Bitcion _could_ be in fiat denominated terms. Bitcoin is eminently 'hodleable' and the value flows within black (or simply non-mainstream) markets are huge.
That is true, bitcoin has been used by the black-market dealers since its appearance due to the fact that its nature allows the user to stay hidden from any tracking or any laws, because it is not being controlled by any government, and that what makes us think that the amount of bitcoin that is pumped into it is far from being equal to the bitcoin spend in the mainstream.

Bitcoin should not be shown ahead as a get rich quick scheme, but should instead be shown as a way of conducting finance smoothly.
Definitely this is one of the major reason why people do not get Bitcoin. Those who have a past experience of getting scammed because of the get rich scheme scam company would definitely avoid bitcoin like a plague if it is introduced as such. Actually there are lots of company that do this kind of stuff. If people have got scammed in the past then they cannot simply blame bitcoin for that as it was their greedy nature which made them to invest their money in some unrealistic projects with unrealistic results and if they would have done some research before investing then they would surely come to know that its not an legit place to make an investment and they would get nothing in return. Yeah, I see a lot of people falling into the mistake that they go and invest money into thing they have no idea on and except to earn big money, without even going throw the trouble of finding some reviews and feedback from others, and next thing you know they lose all their money and they come and complain on the forum.

Bitcoin and more broadly the blockchain technology is absolutely the future of financial system. Many banks are preparing the revolution of this. In future years the banking system will undergo a revolution with blockchain.
Well I hope so else they are bound to be outdone by Bitcoin in the future. The banks should integrate Bitcoin and blockchain into their setting and help make it better rather than go against it. Bitcoin future is very bright. just go through the figure of btc how well it has progressed, main reason is decentralized, crypto-currency, very secured and best profit on the investment. also the transaction charges on btc is very less comparatively to the banks. more people are joining now a days on btc which is a good sign for the better future. I agree, many people see that the bitcoin has a bright future that is why they keep investing in it and buy and save it hoping that in the future they become wealthy from it, and that makes its price go even beyond what we have imagined 2 years earlier when the price was below $300 levels and now look at where it has come.

My best investment strategy is investing in btc, btc is growing day by day and if you compare btc with gold you can understand the difference, gold value doesn't change much but btc value increases rapidly. it is trustworthy that you get the best reward from the btc. my investment strategy is purchase the btc and hold it and sell when i feel i get the best benefit from it.
I agree, the bitcoin has been, increasing both in price and the numbers of people using it which promises a very good future for it, so buying and saving bitcoin for a long time is a good investment strategy, and don’t bother using it for any type of investment because they are not worth the risk.

Since I started in here in this forum on bitcointalk I invested most of the in the legit ICO altcoins and do some trade in the exchange platform by simply buying other coins on which I think it has a potential value. Well if you're going to pursue trading, think proper research should first be done before you start. Some people realize that trading is for them the first time they complete a trade ehile some take time and a couple of losses before they get the feel of it. i think continuous study and analysis can make you know about your business that either it is on right side or not. i think you need to do analysis continuously. Yeah, you can easily find some reviews on some website that is giving you the option of investing in, but making the decision of investing in new small business is the hard part because they could be scams and take your money, but websites like btcjam offers a platform for investors to find legit business.

there's no assurance that you're going to earn more money from bitcoins because you invested them. There's no 100% sure profit in investing no matter which platform that is or no matter what company that is. Investing is risky.
Indeed, the best opting is to just save it, because why would you want to risk your hard earned money in some site that is not going to give that much of a profit and may take it without giving it back, you are better off saving some of your real job and buying bitcoin and saving it for the future.

You doubled and selling the method ? Come one man we are not living in golden age where people sell their gem ideas for nothing. You can double those $50 to $100 and so on unless you own all the money in the world, right ? Then why sharing with us man ? Really you have to be logical for people to download even a free ebook, I neither download nor suggest anyone to download.

If you are not willing to pay for a training, there is free content on the internet, and many traders give tips on youtube. But be aware of the risks... I realized that many experienced traders consider binary options a very risky thing, and prefer forex instead.
IMHO, both are risky in their own ways. Where Binary options make you something or take everything in a go, forex has stop loss to have your losses stopped at a level, but that doesn't mean that you can't lose your capital in forex because the crashes in markets will rip you off there also. Even those tips won't help, but I prefer to go with my own decision here, so even if I lose, I will blame myself for the same. That is why you should always know what you are risking here, you should have a clear idea of how much you are going to earn and what you are going to lose when investing in anything, may do the mistake of putting money without having a clue about what they are doing and except to get profit.

In your dream maybe but in reality its impossible to happen. I agree with some people that bitcoin can reach $100, 000. Even if some people manipulate the market on bitcoin not even a chance.
Yes it's true that the worth of one satoshi becoming equivalent to one dollar is almost impossible. And if this actually happens it would lead to some serious problems, among the biggest one that comes to my mind is what would be the transaction fees ? Because no one would like to pay even 1 dollar per transaction and less than a satoshi can't be the fees.

I don't believe in any of these series that a number once drawn can't be drawn next time or a number not drawn earlier has better chance of being drawn next time. Each time I make a bet I think what can happen in this event and this is the reason why for me sports betting is much much better than dice or other luck based games.

Gambling is not wrong. does anyone forces you to gamble? no. you gamble on your own, trying to make some money. greediness is wrong.
Everyone that gamble is greedy . If people are not greedy then there is almost no point to keep on gambling, why bother anyway. Greedy is part of human's nature and there is nothing wrong with that. The fact that everyone wants more salary means that he is greedy enough so I dont see what is wrong with that If you want more salary work more, why risk your hard earned money to make small profit? many folks like to gamble not because of greed but for fun, to relax themselves, for passing time. I agree if those people who gamble wants more salary then why they keep on gambling repetitively. And that is also another thing which is very wrong, when you think that you can get salary in gambling, then that's actually very wrong. We know that it is not a good source of making money then why treat it that way? If it’s for fun and you do it occasionally then there is not harm about it, but if you do it for an income like some people do then it is wrong, if you do the math of how much they win and how much they lose they will find that they have wasted a lot, a money that they could invest in something useful.

I invest a portion of my btc in sports gambling, and i must say i'm in good profit now. I do a lot of research and analysis before each stake and have a bit of luck. It works for me, doesnt mean it will work for you. Trading is also a viable option, but it also requires analysis and research.
Well said, if something that works for you doesn't mean that it will work for everyone out there. For me, I never had good luck in gambling when I used to put some money in it in my initial phase but then I turned to trading which proved good option for me so far as far as return on investment is concerned. yes that is important. i think we should invest our money in such business where we have good interest and experience, because if we will invest our money in such business where we do not have any interest there we cannot good amount of bitcoin. I wouldn’t recommend investing bitcoin at anything actually, owning bitcoin is and investment in itself what you can do is either work for bitcoin using skills you have or use your real money to buy some bitcoin between the now and then and save it, otherwise investing bitcoin does not have that much profit.

Bitcoin is different than PayPal so it is like comparing Apples to Oranges when it we're discussing about spending our own money on something. From what I know about PayPal is that they need to have another source in order to get their money. Bitcoin is basically like free money because if someone that knows how to make computers more powerful than it already is, they could build a Bitcoin Miner and get money from Mining Bitcoins and they would get whatever currency they want (PayPal doesn't have that feature).
Bitcoin won't overcome PayPal though Bitcoin will be a popular Digital Payment Platform.
You are right - you do not need to compare these payment systems. Bitcoin is more than a payment system. I am sure that they fulfill their functions and will exist in the future And actually bitcoins has dominated paypal as a payment method. I am not talking in terms of being accepted by more merchants but actually see this way, suppose you need paypal for bitcoins then everyone would happily give, while doing the opposite is almost impossible unless you are too trusted and ready to pay high fee. although in previous time when bitcoin was not so much introduce in such time paypal was the one way of transacting money, but now as bitcoin is introducing more and more so bitcoin is becoming the number payment method becoming more and more popular more than paypal. i think in future people will give more and more preference to bitcoin even the big shops will then provide he opportunity to the people to use bitcoin is the the payment methods. i think some countries have already accepting bitcoin for payment method. We still don’t know what the future of the bitcoin holds for us, but I think there is potential that it could overcome PayPal, I mean right now with the bitcoin at its early stages has a lot of user base and have a growing number every day, and PayPal when it first started didn’t have this much but it was a new thing and people got interested in it over the time and I think that will be the case with bitcoin.

I think that Bitcoin's adoption by 2020 will not result in it magically being a mainstream currency and my view is that arguments for Bitcoin becoming worth a million dollars or something are nothing more than weak hyperbole and a facade of optimism.
The usage couldn't be more than half because less than half of people have regular access to the Internet. The people who will have good enough Internet will be much fewer than that, and beyond that a lot of people with stable currencies will not automatically turn to Bitcoin if they are in countries with stable enough currencies that they feel are better for spending in their everyday life.
Actually it is speculated that by 2020, 65% of the world will have access to the internet, but even then, that does not mean that all of them will use bitcoin I mean right now the ones that do have internet access don’t know what bitcoin is, they don’t even know what PayPal is.

One barrier to success is the fear, fear of losing the most haunting thing traders, traders should be able to eliminate the fear of losing but traders should still be good at taking the decision to buy or sell.
Success will come to those who faces failures, without failures, we cannot learn from the mistakes. Each trader should identify their role and they should take care of themselves in choosing the right one to gain profit from it. Sometimes you may fail to choose to good one, but don't look back and find the best one which will cover your previous loss also. Yeah, you only know the sweetness of wining when you feel the badness of losing, and defat is a part of leaning otherwise how are we going to learn, and this is just not for trading but in life, you need to learn from your mistakes, that is why there are some trading sites that allow you to trade with fake money to learn how it works.

Of course gamblers want to win that's why they are betting, its only a lie if they say not into make profits. I agree that dice game is the fastest way to make money but just for lucky players, it can also make a bettor lose fast if they don't know how to manage his bankroll carefully.
Yes, dice gives fast profit and loss because the bets don't take much time to get settled and you can apply any strategies within a matter of hours and see if it gives loss or profit. I myself have made a lot of profit with dice but calculating overall I have a big hole to look into and hence I ignore dice now a days.

A lot of people will continue to keep gambling even though they always lose to try and make up the money that they have lost. My friend was like this and some night's we would be at the local betting agency for many hours as he tried to make up on lost bets. It's best to set a certain amount to bet with and once you reach that amount stop betting, but again some people can't stop. Also the thrill to win big also keeps people betting even though they always lose.
Yes it's right because its the addiction that makes us bet again and again, for understanding we can take the example of smoking, that people know its harmful yet they smoke why ? Because of addiction. Some people have such a control over their mind that they avoid it, while some not.

This article have missed to cover about low fee newbies used to put to save cost on payments leading unconfirmed transaction for many hours. That will make them panic about bitcoin and they will start blaming bitcoin network for it and some may even opt out from the idea of using bitcoin again. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) The article is quite rubbish actually because they say it's not worth to keep bitcoins in wallet like coinbase while even the official bitcoins site links coinbase for keeping bitcoins. Another point I don't agree is : How can I revoke a wrong payment Because even if you send a payment to wrong paypal id you cannot reverse it unless you make false claims and take it back.
