281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What did you do with your bitcoin today? on: March 08, 2015, 08:15:43 AM
I am earning money the more I post with signature campaigns so that is one way I am making BTC. At the moment I am not spending any as there is not a whole lot I want to buy at the moment.

I believe bitcoins swings are what is helping it gain initial popularity right now as people all want to learn more and make some money if they can. In the future however I am sure many people would rather bitcoin become more stable so it can be used better as a currency.
283  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I sell my EUROs? on: March 08, 2015, 08:08:27 AM
Honestly I see Bitcoin as a much better investment to buy into rather than holding onto you Euro. You can get things like bitcoin debit cards so you can still buy things with your btc as well in shops.

Ok, I bid minum for account no.1. Can you let me know if I am outbid? Thanks.
286  Economy / Auctions / Re: [WTS] Senior member Accounts on: March 08, 2015, 05:02:25 AM
I'll start at 0.22 for the last one. I may have to pay a few days after though as I will need to wait for payment if this is ok?

It's alright but as i have stated 3rd has been removed from bidding for some reasons.
ONLY 2 And 3 stay

Sorry, what do you mean? Is third account there or not?

Oh! sorry got confused , you can see my above posts.
Only 1 and 2 remain , third have been sold/removed .
~Regards Sky

Ok, Can I bid minimum for both accounts but if I win either only get one? If so I'd like to do that.

Still auctioning

If I bid would I need to pay straight away or is payment time negotiable? I am interested.

What do we think about marcotheminer being banned? I still have hope of recieving my BTC but it is a little odd.
291  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin vs Gold: The Age Old Debate on: March 08, 2015, 03:57:47 AM
Bitcoin will replace gold as global current.
bitcoin is much convenient to save, transfer and split. 

I wouldn't consider gold to be a worldwide currency as I cannot really use gold down the road on the corner store... It still has value and is good for storing money but I can't use it everywhere whereas bitcoin I (sort of) can.
292  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin surpass 300 in the next 24 hours? on: March 08, 2015, 03:53:16 AM
I really do hope to see the price go over 300 USD again but I don't know when it will happen... Mind you I was around for $20 and didn't buy because I thought it wouldn't go up for a while.
293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are some ways you can think bitcoin won't succeed? on: March 08, 2015, 03:45:14 AM
The only thing I can think of is the imbalance of distribution of bitcoin , which gave a few people a lot of bitcoins , even through the scams and hacks, and that giving them a chance to manipulate the prices.

But that is comparable to the distribution of fiat money in which the top %10 have something like %90 of the worlds money. Scams and hacks can be problems but most of what we have seen with bitcoin have all been third party problems and generally not a fault of bitcoin itself.
294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are some ways you can think bitcoin won't succeed? on: March 08, 2015, 03:24:37 AM
I was just thinking in my head about bitcoin and it's chances of succeeding of a major worldwide currency. I thought back to here about how many posts there are with bitcoin's success, what are some ways you can think of that will make bitcoin Not succeed. The most obvious in my opinion being a hack of some sort to the blockchain.

I think the only thing that would really stymie it long term would be intractable problems with security and accidental loss due to bitcoin being decentralized, with no central authority to appeal to when you lose your passwords/wallets, or to secure your funds for you if you don't do a good job yourself. We've seen a heavy toll from hackers and scammers targeting bitcoins the past few years. I don't think that will continue unabated due to improvements in security in wallets and exchanges and increased security competency in leading bitcoin businesses. But if I'm wrong, the continued losses to theft could discourage enough core bitcoiners that it begins to dwindle.

That's really the one thing I realistically see stopping bitcoin from carving out at least a substantial niche in world finance. Other factors limiting its growth would be ease-of-use limitations with the software being developed for it, but those are being overcome little by little every day, and I don't see them as intractable. Even if you never could buy coffee at Starbucks with bitcoin as conveniently as with a credit card, it's already simple and easy to use for major financial uses from online purchases to buying real estate.

With your last comment about bitcoin and credit cards I think we are getting closer to realities like that everyday. There are already a few bitcoin based debit cards out there in which you can essentially pay with a credit card which comes out of your bitcoin balance.  
295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are some ways you can think bitcoin won't succeed? on: March 08, 2015, 03:05:24 AM
I guess some of the problems will eventually be solved, like usability and security for the average joe, insured exchanges and custodians also already happening.

I can only think of regulation and fraud, that can really stifle bitcoin's adoption.

Yeah, I think usability is not too bad at the moment for average people it is just about them getting their head around how it works. THIngs like the address book to store friends addresses and how easy it is to see how many BTC you have.
I think the big problem is about them learning how bitcoin works and wanting to use it after they hear about it.
296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Need analysis on possible hack on: March 08, 2015, 03:01:43 AM
Actually you should mention the app so people don't happen to lose coins if its a wallet bug.

Exactly, if there is a problem it would be good to know now so we can stop other people losing there bitcoins. It is unfortunate you lost yours but we should try to stop others losing theirs aswell if possible.
297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: March 08, 2015, 03:00:20 AM
People should treat bitcoin just like fiat and figure out ways to increase their fiat, and just like that for bitcoin

I agree with this however many people may seem bitcoin as hard to buy and so willing to do things for a small amount of BTC like faucets etc.

I would assume the missing accounts had been deleted for some reason or something although I do not know. It is cool to see a number of well known bitcoiners in the first few pages.

Mining right now atleast is not very profitable. I would suggest you to be better investing your money elsewhere. I would suggest joining a signature campaign although it seems you already have. If you invest some of your time into that you will easily make a fair bit of money.
