Confusion, Greed, Uncertainty and Bitcoin....I"M ALL THE ABOVE!  Call me greedy like Scrooge McDuck, because all I'm gonna do is hoard like a muthaf#cka, and occasionally spend and replenish. Don't be overanalytical about Bitcoin, just let it happen. Buy more when the price is low, use it on websites like Purse.IO, Brawker, Gyft etc, then replenish. Simple strategy. K.I.S.S. = Keep It Simple Stupid! And I mean stupid in the most pleasant way. |

You guys think we'll every get to the point of 1 TH/s the size of the old USB BlockErupter ASIC miners?  I think that's the only time I'd consider re-entering mining again. |

I honestly hope Bitcoin is around in 2 years. It took the Internet about 20 years or so, before the world wide web became a thing, and AOL and 56K modems and Yahoo finally took off. If we can stick around for 2 more, continue on an uptrend path, grow and mature on acceptance and adoption levels, then this very well could be gentlemen...  |

I don't believe the OP for one second. If you had really bought Bitcoins in 2009, you buy more than 15 BTC. They were literally worth pennies, if that, back in 2009.  If you honestly bought BTC back then, you'd have thousands not 15, so stop trying to scam noobs man... |

That's true for most campaigns, that there's no real difference between Senior/Hero/Legendary on payout structure. Only certain ones, like Bit-X for example, actually make it worthwhile with their pay per post payout scale: For every qualifying post you make throughout the next month, BIT-X.com will pay you the following rates (per qualifying post) based on your membership level:
Staff 0.0014BTC
Legendary & Hero Members 0.0012BTC
Senior Members 0.001BTC
Full Members 0.0008BTC Also, they add a 0.1BTC Bonus for finishing in the top 10 posters in a month, so they're rather generous. Bit-X is the best one of signature camapaign right now and the bonus is make this signature campaign different than any other signature campaign OP is on Member level and there are no spots for Member on Bit-X True at the moment, but OP isn't that far away now from Full Member status. He's currently 84 activity, so in less than 3 activity jumps, he should meet Full Member requirements for Bit-X Sig campaign. |

No. I have never seen a female bitcoiner. Ever.
How many bitcoiners have you actually seen ? I go to Bitcoin conferences all the time. The only females I see there are the hired booth bunnies that are supposed to show their tits and look pretty. There was one woman I met that had Bruno on a leash at the Las Vegas conference. She was really into Bitcoin but that's the only one I know of. This Bruno?  |

I agree with the OP. Bitcoin is too complex for the average person.
If you were to explain Bitcoin to the average person on the street, or an older family member, or someone not as computer literate as you, there eyes would probably glaze over and it would immediately go over their head.
Once we Bitcoin as easy to use as sending an email, swiping a credit card, or just tapping a sensor using NFC like Apple Pay, then we may get the average person using it.

First thing you should have stated is before asking questions, search if it's been asked already either in the forum search box or through Google.
Asking repetitive questions over and over does get on the Senior members nerves here. Shows us that you're lazy and not willing to do the leg work.

Hmm, A Nigerian with Prince in his name.... You wouldn't happen to need to move a large sum of money, would you?  |

XBT, BTC, Bits for Tits....I"ll take it!  Just to have a Bitcoin Ticker on the main CNN Money Markets is a plus no matter which way you slice it. Yes, Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, and Bloomberg had tickers before CNN, but just continuing positive coverage in the mainstream media is a boon. And that CNN Inside Man was nice little doc wasn't it! Need Morgan to do another one maybe in a year or so, when there's even more acceptance. |

When Bitcoin is on as many payment processors, payment methods, checkouts, ways to pay, ways to donate, etc is when we finally will get the mainstream user's curiosity piqued.
Eventually, some of these customers will try to find out all they can about this new payment method, some will actually attempt to give it a shot. You get 1 convert, soon they tell their spouse, family, friends, etc, and you get the ball rolling.
That's basically this whole point right now. To get the ball rolling, to go viral pretty much.

Check the story below: NYC Firefighter, Mugged And Stabbed For BitcoinWhat does this mean for bitcoin? Do you think Bitcoin has reached so far that one have to steal the cryptocurrency physically? Do you think Bitcoin is nearing the mainstream acceptance? I just dont know how I will feel about the news. How do you want to feel? Do you want to think Bitcoin is dirty money? That it's so dangerous to hold, that evil thieves will barge down your doors and rob your Bitcoin at gunpoint? Is this some type of fear mongering tactic by you? Nah, just playing. ...IS IT?!! |

Some spiteful ish right there runpaint!  |

I think Seamless or Grubhub would be no brainers to accept BTC, especially since they're prevalent in the urban cities where most Bitcoiners reside.
That would make me and my tummy very happy.

This thread is misleading and just plain wrong!! It sounds like the posters in this thread haven't read anything regarding CEX.io in the past year. CEX is defunct... dead... gone the way of the Dodo bird. They shut down cloudmining about a month ago because maintenance fees were greater than mining income. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=922513.0Taking into consideration our users’ interests, the recent Bitcoin price drop, as well as the upscaling of the mining difficulty, CEX.IO Bitcoin Exchange would like to announce a temporary suspension of cloud mining services provided by the platform at the time of the next difficulty increase.
According to the 11.5. paragraph of CEX.IO Terms of Use:
“Mining with using User’s Gigahashes can be stopped by CEX.IO if the amount of the Maintenance Cost exceeds rewards for each mined block or if the mining is economically inexpedient.”
Thereby, all GHS formerly purchased by CEX.IO users remain their absolute property, with appropriate figures reflected in users’ profile balance. Additionally users will be able to manually enable mining with Gigahashes by their own choice.
“Suspension of CEX.IO cloud mining service is only a forced temporary measure, the result of cloud mining costs exceeding mining profit,” Jeffrey Smith, Chief Information Officer of CEX.IO. “Currently all cloud mining/maintenance costs are directed to the Hardware provider, hence, we are open for negotiations with additional mining hardware providers, who can offer favourable terms. And, as soon as we get an opportunity to upgrade mining hardware, or come to more efficient terms with energy suppliers, cloud mining process will be automatically resumed.”
Meanwhile, CEX.IO will continue operating as full service exchange platform for trading cryptocurrencies and fiat money. They are not dead, it's just cloud mining which is temporarily suspended. Their pool is still operational. Blockchain.info shows their pool's share is 7-9% which is quite impressive. You mean their exchange is still operational, not their pool. CEX.io doesn't have a mining pool, but their affiliate company does. Ghash.io is about 7% of the pool hashrate on https://blockchain.info/pools |
