Ooops a daisy, kind of kills the coin that doesn't it lol

I noticed this also the couple of times I have used them, it is a bonus and a plus for using Coinbase.

I agree, there are hundreds with most of them being dead coins right now.  Only a hand full have stuck around for a year or two, I think as they are getting easier to create people pump and dump and then move on.

I downloaded the app ages ago and it was fun for a while but then just got bored and the rewards are so small.

Really not worth it, I tried last year on some alts and it really isn't worth it.  You would be better renting a rig and joining a pool.

I was quite curious when I saw the header, I was thinking how on Earth can a camera crack the Bitcoin code then I read the op.  Think a new Subject line would be more relevant, although the camera is pretty cool.

Coinbase are good, they have a nice little Android app also.

You could be alright with this, 9 times out of 10 the price jumps a bit when they move onto a larger exchange but you could also be left holding a bag of worthless coins, I suppose it is all about timing.

I would suggest altcoin trading, if you spend some time on the exchanges and in the altcoin threads you might  be able to make a nice profit.  If you find the right coin at the right time you can increase your Bitcoin.  I would not put the whole 0.5 into one coin, spreadin it a bit would make more sense.  You can also lose it all with these coins but I think you will have more fun then rollimg a some dice.

They are making some profit from selling off seized coins, it wouldn't surprise me if they were already doing something like this.  There will no doubt be some conspiracy fans that believe that the government is behind Bitcoin and Satoahi is government.

Both, you still need banks to live your life and pay the bills and everyday things but you can keep Bitcoin as a long term investment.

For sure, people that borrow to support their gambling habit are in bad shape unless they win of course, but as it is always stated in this forum and elsewhere you should only gamble what you can afford to lose.  If you need to borrow to gamble then it probably time to quit.

I think you might have more luck mining some altcoins rather than Bitcoin to make any profit.

Let's hope banks don't start closing any accounts like they have doing in Australia.

You have to wait such a long time to get a return on your investment it is not even worth it and chances are that the site you join will end up a scam, this seems to be a popular way of stealing everyone's money which really really sucks.

No they do not, you are okay to withdraw your BTC from Bittrex, Poloniex is the only one i think which requires any form of ID.

This is pretty damn cool.  The blockchain really is being used in some great ways recently!

It would depend on what you are gambling on, how good you are at it, how level headed you are so you don't go all in and lose everything so I would say it it totally possible but I wouldn't put my money on it

Think you are right, a lot of gambling sites have also stopped operating in the UK as they require a license to do so.

Nice article.  It has entered my mind a few times, are we moving forward towards a big brotber world with everything being tracked, although we could be free from the banks with cryptocurrency, we would also be losing a bit of our freedom, not even Bitcoin is 100% anon. 

It's not for eveyone but Alex Jones had a documentary a few years ago relating to this "Cashless Society"
