I wondered if anyone else was aware that nlc = crumbs.  And I doubt it ends there. Isn't NotLambChop also YourFather, FatherBob, Cassandra_PR and countless other alts? Where does he/she/it find the time?  |

That thread's mostly full of pictures of rockets and sinking ships. Yes, you get the Permabulls vs the Beartrolls in that one. Very little in between in that thread. Good for a laugh or two from time to time. Even ChartBuddy gets in the troll action: |

Yes, without a doubt. Especially when you have this guy in your backfield:  |

Bitcoin is inferior coin. No real developement. Very slow.
Only thing it has is that crazy cult in denial of reality around it.
Bitcoin is inferior coin? To what other crypto? What kind of hashish are you smoking? Bitcoin is the only coin with real development. It's the only coin with real VC investment and support. No other coin has the backing, development, investment, and interest of Bitcoin. Not Litecoin, not Paycoin, not NXT, not Ripple, not Darkcoin, not Stellar, not Counterparty, not [insert any alt coin here]... |

No relation or correlation from Alts to Bitcoin at the moment. LTC used to be paired with with BTC price wise, but they depaired sometime in early 2014. Litecoin used to be the Silver to Bitcoins Gold, but no longer. They're truly independent of each other. I personally think Litecoin is near it's death bed. It's own creator is pretty much abandoning all development on it. http://newsbtc.com/2014/12/21/charlie-lee-litecoin-not-need-development-right-now/ |

I guess the old stock market adage "Buy the rumor, sell the news" applies to Bitcoin as well. Everytime there was some whispers or some tweets about an announcement, the market price pumped up a little. When Coinbase actually launched or Microsoft actually implemented Bitcoin payments AKA "News", there was a sell off. So far this has been fool proof as far as speculation is involved. If you're in it for the long haul, it doesn't matter what price you enter now. If you plan to day trade, that's a whole different thread though.

Finally an updated list...I agree sticky this all over the place. Not sure how OgNasty is not in the big 5 though...he escrows a lot.
Edit: my 2 most trusted/used a lot would be OgNasty and TomatoCage (for what that is worth).
I second a bump/nod for OgNasty to be in the top 5 as well. Guy gets the job done, is a Legendary poster, has impeccable trust history, and from personal experience escrowed 3 of my deals no problem. |

Don't mind this question, but weren't all the payouts being made to btc wallets directly ?
Why are people putting in their BIT-X addresses ?
The first month was direct to BTC wallet, but last month and going forward are deposited to the BIT-X wallet. Guessing they have to draw traffic to their website (pretty much the whole reason for advertising campaigns), and they take a small skim off the top from the payouts now as well for withdrawing. I don't mind, it's safe, secure, and currently the best running and paying Sig Campaign in Bitcointalk. |

It is now a good time to buy miners with fiat, if you believe than BTC price will raise. good way to get positive ROI sooner.
As always, as it was in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015....if you believe the price will rise, just buy the Bitcoin. You're throwing away money and wasting time buying miners, if you're doing it strictly on speculation. Too many factors against mining: electrical costs, downtime, upkeep, maintenance, cooling, difficulty, pool variance Just buy BTC at the moment, it's at a discount price!  Bad logic. There are many reasons why buying a miner could be better than buying BTC. If people really believe that BTC will definitively increase in value, then the best option would seem to be selling everything you own for BTC that isn't essential to your immediate survival. Obviously, that would be an unbelievably risky move, so basically anyone will factor in at least *some* level of risk. For those who don't mind risk, buying BTC outright may be preferable. However, if you hate risk, buying a miner can be a much safer option, especially in a bear market. The trade off for that extra security is decreased profit potential over the long haul. You don't buy miners when the price slumps, you just buy BTC, if you're speculating on a price hike. You DO buy miners when the BTC fiat price is high, as it's more prohibitive to buy the coin outright, then it is to generate small amounts of it daily in hopes of making your fiat investment back. Simple math for ROI, dude. BTC In<=BTC Out Buying a miner now with fiat, no matter which miners, you'll net negative BTC. If you bought a miner for $500, mine back half a Bitcoin and Bitcoin spikes to $920 a Bitcoin, you're thinking, "WOW, I made back my investment!" WRONG! If you had bought $500 worth of Bitcoin, you'd have over 2 Bitcoins at today's price. It's throwing good money at bad investments. I am certainly glad I didn't buy BTC with fiat when it was at $900-1100. But I'm ecstatic that I bought a lot of mining gear with BTC at that time! There is no guarantee of success when buying BTC with fiat and speculating on long term price increase. Recent history shows ample proof of that. There has to be a lot of victims because of the tumble from $1100 to $200 over the past year (and a couple months). IMO, anyone using BTC to buy mining gear now with the exchange rate so low is a fool. And using fiat is just as bad if not worse. I recently bought 2 SP20s during the group buy sale. That was foolish on my part but I just had to have those cool looking Spondoolies machines.  It really is just a tough time overall for both mining and Crypto overall with this non stop Price drop. People say just keep holding it and never spend it, but how is that possible if you electrical bills to pay or better yet mortgage, rent, medical, food, school etc... Anybody here that doesn't care about the fiat price of Bitcoin is delusional, as it plays an enormous factor. The largest cloud mining Cex.IO had to shut down it's door because of the low BTC price. Until fiat just completely up and dies off, BTC's value will be forever tied to it for both mining and practical uses. |

Let's break $250 first before we get excited, fellas!  We've all been down this road, just another pump and dump without any news. Nice $10 move, but let's wait until a more substantial long term up trend. |

Nice shoes. Wanna Fork!  Is that an Antminer in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me.  Butterfly Labs, we ship in 2 weeks!  These memes as well are pretty funny:    |

Like the others are saying, since Coinbase operates in the US, they have to comply with KYC and AML laws. You have to provide your legal real name if you intend to use their service.
If you just want to buy Bitcoins, but still remain anonymous, then I'd recommend LocalBitcoins or from a trusted seller in the forum here.
