For data entry or captcha typing, you don't need very advanced skills. If you know how to read and write, and if you have a good laptop with you, then that is more than enough.

Lol... your rates are too low. $5 for 10 hours means just $0.5 per hour. If you do data entry or captcha typing, you will be able to earn at least 5 times that much. If you know coding or programming, then you'll be able to earn much more.

Go to the services section and see whether there are any jobs which you are able to do. Logo and signature designing is in good demand. Escrow services and giving out loans are other options, but you need a positive trust to do that (most of the times).

You have not given any details about your skills. If you do coding or programming, you can easily earn in excess of BTC2 per month. There are many users out there, who pay in Bitcoins.

My advice to you is not to participate in any sig campaigns at this point. Try to get some good reputation by making quality posts and participating in popular threads, and then apply for some established sig campaign.

Never try trading and gambling. Most of the times, you will lose your investment. Rather, work hard and earn your coins. Try these:

1. Publish ads from a-ads or coinurl in your websites/blogs and earn coins.
2. Do coding or content creation in exchange for BTC (try Jobs4Bitcoins).
3. Try mining after joining a mining pool.

I started collecting coins in mid-2014, when my friend introduced me to the world of digital currency. I was attracted by the idea of replacing the fiat and discarding the banks. And moreover, it is fun to participate in the discussions here.

For me, these are the main issues:

1. Very few shops and retail shops are accepting it.
2. Takes too long for confirmation.
3. Legal status is unclear in most of the countries.
4. Too many hackers and thieves.
5. Stagnant exchange rates.

I have done my bit of trading and I must warn others about the potential risks involved. Most of the alts are of the pump and dump types, and if you invest in them at the wrong time, then your capital might vanish in to the thin air.

Still his coins are worth less than $60 million in fiat. When we will get our first Bitcoin billionaire? Li Xiaolai will become a billionaire if the exchange rate rises to $10,000 per coin. But that seems to be a long way off. I am losing patience over the stagnant exchange rates. When we are going to see BTC surging in to the 5-digits?

Bitcoin is the original crypto-currency, and therefore I believe in BTC. Other alts such as Ethereum and Litecoin are just copycats. Some of them may be technologically superior to altcoin, but Satoshi Nakamoto was the first person to have invented the idea of a digital currency, and therefore we must continue supporting BTC over the alts.

I believe that the easiest and the safest way to get rich with Bitcoins is to give out loans here in Bitcointalk. You will get nice interest, and there is no risk of default as a collateral is secured in the beginning. I have never given out a loan to anyone, but if I have enough coins with me, then I will seriously consider doing it.

If that is the case, the richest guy must be Mark Karpelès. In 2014, he stole around BTC650,000 from the Mt Gox users (in addition to another $50 million worth of fiat). Now he is enjoying his life, moving from one luxury apartment to the other in Tokyo.

Bitcoin will die when a previously unknown bug is discovered, which enables double spend / counterfeit. Or it will die when supercomputers make it possible to hack the private keys of online wallets. I don't think that BTC is going to last for more than 10-15 years. In technology, the lifespan is smaller. For example, first we had floppy discs. They were replaced by CDs. These CDs were replaced by DVDs and finally the Blu Ray Disc was invented which replaced the DVDs. Something similar will happen with the BTC.

Right now, I have around BTC0.03 in my wallets, and I am going to hold them till the price climbs to $100,000 per coin or even $1 million per coin. But  holding is risky, as a lot of people are reporting their online wallets getting hacked and the coins stolen. So the first thing to do if BTC climbs to $1 million is to get a good storage device.

I have lost small amounts of coins in the past. Once someone hacked in to my online wallet and stole the coins. In another incident, the exchange site which I was using went AWOL, taking my coins.

If he is caught for the second time, then he will end up just like Ross Ullbricht, and will never come out of prison alive. He was just lucky during the first time. The Hollywood mafia is very powerful, and they will make sure that this guy is gone for good.

Yes.. and also gold is accepted everywhere. Even in countries where the US Dollar is not accepted, you can go to the pawn shop and exchange your gold to the local currency.

I don't know whether he lost his interest in Bitcoin or not. But a few weeks ago, he posted this:


He seems to be pretty happy about the returns.

Do you have any evidence to prove this? Forget it. There is no point in arguing with those who are brainwashed by religious indoctrination.
