Considering the utter bilge that Nextbank claimed at the launch and then hustled for 'private' investors in the same article, I can't believe anyone would fall for it but stranger things have happened.
I wonder as BTC becomes more legitimate the scams will wither as users become more savvy or a more sophisticated breed will emerge.
I think the same, as bitcoin becomes more accepted people will become wise to these scams they will eventually become the equivalant of an annoying spam email informing you that you have just won the lottery. |

Faucets are good for those just coming in that are unsure whether to spend their money and buy BTC it gives them the chance to get some for free and then become familiar with how it works and then sending to other wallets and so on, when I first came upon bitcoin I used faucets initially but they really are not worth it beyond an introduction into bitcoin.

I like the graphic. Obviously bitcoin is the better of the two but as others have said it simply at the moment anyway has no visibility when compared to the likes of Western Union, this will change over time but I fear it will be a long process.
No id needed for BTC no opening hours, the positives are endless. If bitcoin did gain a wider audience then Western Union and all the other fee charging companies would have no choice but to close which is another reason why it will take a long long time before we can rival these companies, there is far too much money invested in these companies and banks for them to just roll over.

It depends on how long you want to be holding onto these alts and if you are looking for a quick profit and then trading them back for BTC. It would be a lot of hassle to setup paper wallets if you are not going to be holding them for any length of time, the main exchange I would suggest for alts would be Bittrex although Cryptsy and Poloniex are both great I prefer Bittrex for usability.

If it is a huge OP and more than 1 person keeps quoting it it can become quite tedious having to scroll through it to get to the comment, you can simply quote the part you are responding to.
As far as I know signature campaigns do not count the words within a quote otherwise we would be seeing a lot more people doing it for that reason.

This is true, when people can see that you can actually pay for something that you would normally pay for with cash then their interest is spiked, I have seen it in a couple of people where they finally kind of get it. More places to spend bitcoin will spark more interest.

Also the news about Bitcoin being considered a currency in EU may play a role. There are several good news that might explain the raise somehow.
Perhaps an anticipation of the halving too?
I agree, the EU currency recognition along with China and the ongoing interest from large companies about the blockchain I would say all are contributing to this price rise, and the halving. Or maybe it's just Santa Claus stocking up to deliver BTC to all the good kids around the world  |

There is one company that I am aware of that have created a few games that allow you to play against others and gain some bitcoin as a reward, when you download the pro version from their site you can also deposit BTC and use that to gamble on your game. Play store does not allow a 'gambling' app so it needs to be downloaded from their site in order to play using your BTC the games are pretty cool and addictive. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=835437.0 |

I would join but don't want to be setting up a Moneypot account, it's a shame you can't pay direct to a BTC address

I am shocked to read this, I had no idea they were doing this. How can they enforce this by identifying the bitcon address as a gambling site? I will need to check their TOS but I am quite surprised by this.

Looking good, I saw another thread on this can't remember where but if China goes all in on bitcoin 2016 should be one hell of a ride.

It's basically an addiction, there will be times of great lows along with the highs, although you could be steady and make regular income if you were a poker player with a steady head.

Yes, it is all a gamble and there are a lot of coins popping up for the dev to make a quick buck or two at the expense of those that invest, just beware and do your research.

Yeah looks like those that are looking to convert will just need to go the long way round via the € but then that would add extra fees surely wouldn't it.

It's a shame they have dropped bitcoin, it was great news when they accepted it and it surely must have increased their sales, I wonder why have have dropped it on a temp basis.

Yes indeed, have all of your coins in your local wallet, when Bitcoin starts going to the moon the exchanges may be more prone to "get hacked" if you know what I mean. I already have most of my stuff on my Core wallet, only have my 2 other alt investments in an exchange, hoping I make some gains when the big BTC tsunami starts. I just hope the low price stays for a longer while so I can keep stacking cheap coins.
Yeah there is always the possibility of these exchanges all of a sudden getting hacked and then losing everyone's coins when the price goes big, but then you would think that some of them would like to be sticking around and continue taking the fees and become big players in the BTC world. |

If China are on board this can be good news for the price
