this is pretty interesting, i read more of the things they said and i have the feeling that they are warming up to bitcoin and yeah i think it is possible that we see bitcoin accepted on netflix which i think would be a huge step forward.

i find the idea of PTC sites bad in general so my answer is no to that.

but about GPT, although it is still not really worth it if the payments are too small but i think that is a much better idea than a PTC site.

but why create this kind of tinypayment method sites? why not make a place for freelancing stuff where people can post jobs and freelancers can pick them up and do them and get paid in crypto currencies.

altcoins are alternatives to bitcoin and i like and follow a couple of them only because i see some "different" features that may or may not be good but i find them interesting.

i can't really say i am using these coins because using them means there is someplace to spend in my opinion.

and about the benefits of alts i have to say their benefit for me was only more money in my pocket!

Stocks market is a little bit of a weird market or at least in my country i feel like it is. so that is why people who are good at it are making a very good profit and never give it for anything not even bitcoin. but it is hard.

trading is not like any other job that you do and get paid so you can't really say i earn xxx amount of bitcoin from trading every week.
because if you are good or bad at it, in the end it would come down to how the market was like that week, for example by the time of XMR pump the price and the volume was in a way that you could make a lot of profit but compared to now there is not much going on this week.

ok, that's a lot better.
in your case i say since you already have the experience doing so many different things including mining nobody can help you better than yourself.

with 3 bitcoin i think the best options are only mining and trading.

if you are into starting your own business, starting an online shop may be a good business too. you can sell anything you feel is good from digital to physical goods and accept bitcoin.

there is a very interesting result thingy going on in the results of this poll!

most people have voted for less than 2 million users that may be true but in my opinion it is a lot more than 2 million and i think the third option of 5 to 15 although being a huge range is more possible.

are you sure that you are talking about the same ethereum as the rest of us?

if you are talking about the price spread then it is nothing strange, all the top coins that are being actively traded has small price spread.

if by spread you mean the distribution of this coin then you are way off the mark there. because check the richest wallets and also check the history and see how much was the premine you can see that out of this 85million most of the coins are in the control of handful of people.

because there is this button on github called "fork" and when you click it you can have your own altcoin in matter of seconds.

and this is the way altcoin market has turned into, just similar coins with slight changes and same crap all over again.

0 innovation.


3 words: pump and dump

there are some good suggestions among them! like the ICO investment, if you can find a good one it is a good profit opportunity.

besides you are asking such a general question with no information about yourself. for example how much money do you want to invest, how much time you want to spend, what skills and what experience do you have, and more importantly how willing you are to put some effort in and something tells me you might be a bit lazy.


well if you want to make money sometimes you have to invest money and sometimes you have to spend time and money to get to a point where you start making real money.
you think google became google overnight with the owner thinking i dont wanna hire 10 more people,....

it doesn't mean that but it is still possible.
it is not that profitable that you may think because the market balances out itself in a very short time and also because there are fees involved but there is always times that there is a bigger difference so balancing out takes time.

the community is only shills supporting ethereum with their spams and possibly getting paid to do so, and some of them are bag-holders.

and the high volume transactions you think you see are the pump and dumps that happen too often with ethereum, and what you think you see is day-traders trading to make more money from the fluctuation and dump when the fluctuations stop.

one question that i don't see anywhere is that "was this even a hardfork? because to me it is more like a bug fix and since there is no "roll back" kind of thing that makes the coin backward incompatible i think this is more like a softfork.

if this is true then there will be no secondary coin leftover like the last time.

bitcoin has the potential to go up as high as $6000 and more if the situation in the future is better than now and the adoption has grown. but even if bitcoin goes to 1 million dollar there is still no reason for any of the altcoins to go up with it.

you can see the history of price, bitcoin has had many rises and falls in the past, so you can check the charts against the altcoin you have in mind and you can see obviously that there is no sure relationship between the two ever.

holding your coins and never spending them means there will never be any adoption. think about it, if every user thinks like you and only uses bitcoin as investment then there will never be any significant rise and only pump and dumps.

what we want in bitcoin is adoption and "real rise" which comes from real adoption and it only happens when you treat it more like a currency.

one thing to have in mind is that forever does not mean a long time because it can be around for a very long time but not forever.

anything has some kind of expiration date and that thing is either going to change and adapt the new world in the future or it will die off soon.

this "thing" can be bitcoin or it can be any technology in the world as we can simply see by looking at the history and how many things have dissipated.

having a bitcoin bank means destroying everything that Satoshi worked for creating and it is in fact against bitcoin main purpose which is making thing decentralized.

you may see some benefits in having a bitcoin bank but in my opinion the downside to it is a lot more than the benefits.

even the hack of a big exchange service is not enough reason for a price drop. well think about it, a third party random service on the internet was careless about their security so they were hacked. why should bitcoin price drop big?

this shows bitcoin market is filled with weak hands and also it is filled with so many opportunists that are looking for a chance to dump and buy back as fast as possible and as cheap as possible.

no altcoin will ever reach $100 ever.
but having a rise to $10-$20 is more up the alley of altcoins and it is very much possible even for ETC.
and as you can see, to day ETC has been showing some good upward movement which shows it is still alive and kicking, and i am expecting this rise to continue and even in the future there will be more rises.

the interesting thing here is that even after 6 days from the start of this topic (this news) the price is even lower down to $5.99 = 0.0093BTC i have to say this but i think the monero rise is now officially over and we can no longer see 0.02BTC like before for a long time.
