The idea is that moment you hear any significant news and having all the forum account talking on the same tone, that is your buy signal. Just check out cann coin and you can see how news announcement have influenced it. You are a forex trader. You should know very well

Well i made a wrong decision buying some the altcoins that you mentioned and ended losing. I have since sold off and for the the moment a huge chunk is in btc and only a tiny fraction left in ripple. I still see a potential in xrp though. If i ever want to buy altcoin it has to be written totally ground up from scratch not some rip off of btc codes

One thing that catches my attention is the answer on hard fork. According to him it will be early next year so it will be exciting to see what would happen from here

Not necessarily bitcoin. It can be any other altcoins which can cpu mine and then exchange for bitcoin. Op still has a point. We have seen new computers preinstalled with miner so why not in cracked software.

I just worry about the negative impact when the hard fork is taking place especially put into consideration the size of network we are having right now. I mean what if somebody plans a out scheme that manipulates the network during the switch over. But then if we think again, if we don't do it now, then the question is when are we going to do it. As the network grows there can never be the right time.... and we really need to plan, prepare and anticipate for the future.

For it's controlled by nobody... (just my view)

In Bitcoin world
It's common for price up ten fold
Truth be told
It is good as gold
Makes the paper money feel cold

How's that? Lol

The idea of a quiz sounds nice but is there a way to actually do a spped test without registering or providing signup email. Also is the test free in the first place?

That's the downside of trading. Not everyone knows about circle or fully aware which place to get the best price for their stuff. The ebay fees sure cuts in a lot

One thing i can see an advantage would be everyone can get job paid in btc considered as a universal currency. Probably people can just quote btc value rather than btc then to convert to fiat and that is when foods and other necessity items are all priced in btc. Here you can really save on the exchange rate

Moon is for other crypto. We have probably reached that stage when btc price from practically few cents already hit 1000. We need to set higher standard probably Mars... what do you guys think

People don't waste their time. Every investment has a chance for a good return and there is every bit of opportunity to reap. Take example of bitcoin during the early stage. Most people might be thinking why waste time on something which has no value? Like myself, i actually heard of bitcoin much earlier but chose to ignore. Well, if a person don't think out of the box, he will just be any average person there is.

Sounds interesting. Does it actually auto convert the fund on your behalf at the prevailing rate when you make purchases in btc? Any additional fee for that?

If you worry that your antminer is not being utilized then use it to mine ppc and then to convert to btc. I saw the hype earlier about nubits that pushed ppc price to 3 fold and then now is slowly retrace back. So you better be sure you are making the right decision. Also to convince you on a fact, didn't you notice that all  altcoins are using btc price set as benchmark. If that is not strong enough to make a point

At least one good thing about bitcoin is that it don't let you spend money in advance. People get into debts with credit card so i don't see that going to happen with bitcoin. It will be a selling point on 'advantage of using btc'

I believe the problem here is that some people buy with margin and hedge their position using money that they don't actually own. So it is a margin call or forced sell by the traders to protect their position.
Another potential scenario is that people might be rushing to sell to mitigate substantial loss. It's like panic selling.

Though the list is interesting and informative, it can actually puts bitcoin in a negative spotlight. It will give an impression that holding on to btc is not safe but actually is not true which are all based on our own due diligence.

Good. This type of news will surely get the attention and indirectly help to promote bitcoin. Anyway nice painting with a hidden meaning

Potentially if government becomes desperate due to uncontrolled outbreak and simply print fiat, btc might become useful.
Or btc becomes a medium of exchange whereby there is no risk of catching infection as what bodily fluids get passes on to paper money

If only things are as simple as the word 'trust' means. There is no such thing as guarantee. I mean you don't know who is behind that screen. There is no black and white or digital agreement. Even then, if that person defaults what are you going to do? law doesn't apply. Conclusion... for that level of risk, i would rather earn nothing but stay safe with the money

The name 'Bitcoin' is perfect. It's simple, brandable and easy to remember. Can't think of anything better than bitcoin. Perhaps like Digicoin, Bytecoin but never mind i still stick to bitcoin
