Bank is evil organization, and I wouldn't like to see them messing with bitcoin. If that happen, we to see banks are accepting or using bitcoins that can change blockchain. I think when they come in bitcoins, if they ever do that will change bitcoins on worst.
I don't agree with this kind of ideas, bitcoins is and should stay as much independent as possible. Decentralization is much better solution for running something this big, it can make abusing to be on minimum. And on first place I think about monopol that current bank have on current monetary system.

With risking your money you can earn more then that, it`s simple how much you risk that much you will make. Other ways for earning involve your experience. If you have worked with programming and computers you can find some work in service section, I saw some very interesting offers, and payment is very good.
If you have something to sell then try to start a business, sell something and if it`s going try to find that somewhere cheaper and sell things, be a middle man, there is a good money in that if you know how to get things for people.

Friend showed me where can I play poker for free and earn some money. I wasted my time on facebook poker, making that worthless chips. Free roll poker tournaments are responsible cause I`m here now. I had luck, start to win some little amounts. Then couple faucets on a side just something to keep me busy. Then here bitcointalk.org forum, I remember my first campaigns, yobit. That`s how I entered in trading and lost money.

Bet is the different. On game or in game you don`t place bets. That is the only difference between gambling and games. Next logical question is what kind of bets there is, then things get complicated I think. As I know people place different bets, and that bets can be crazy literally, when I heard in what people bet I think money is a pretty nice way to gamble. 
There is no other differences between game and gambling, everything can be a game, but with bet it becomes gambling.

It was pretty nice rise back then, thanks for reminder. I think it's time now for new record. There is many similarities now with halving 4 years ago, conditions are same, bitcoin is more popular. New record is possible, and I'm happy to see that many of us here feel's the same.
Well now is 19, just 10 more days and we will see what will happen, I wish best of luck for us.

ECB is afraid and they showing that. They will not give up from fiat easily, on fiat they make more fiat, with stupid banks and interests, with inflations, and their other tricks. I think most of us here expected something like this to happen one day , will it be smackdown, or bitcoin have enough power to win this battle will be seen, it`s stupid to make any assumptions.
Banks have the money and resources to inflict on things as they like, we need to wait and see their move before any action. But I agree that they are late, they can not stop this running train?

Getting loan from a friend while you have bitcoins is not a bad thing to do, in anytime you can sell bitcoins you have and return the loan. With bitcoins in your wallet you have back up plan, that is always important to have when someone is borrowing money.
I think fiends shouldn`t take any interest, it`s friendship. If anyone borrow money with interest from a friend is not friend at all. That is my simple conclusion. Only in case if someone is borrowing money for some big business, then is someone is making money with your money then you have right for interest, cause you risk in anytime that person to lose money in that business.

If we guess what can be, my guessing is pretty optimistic. Bitcoin have potential, and that almost everyone here knows. Bright future is my prediction for bitcoin future, and just maybe bitcoin can surprise us with making this future to come faster.
This world is very unstable, and in this troubled times anything can happen. Digital revolution is knocking on our doors, and bitcoin will be perfect for that future environment.

I like this faucet, just cause of this possibility to earn a lot from free roll, plus there is a ticket for lottery, and they added some rewards. I thought like others that no one ever won this big prize.
Their lottery is also very interesting, in this moment first place is 0.6 bitcoins, and week just began. Until sunday first place going above 2, 3 bitcoins. Congratulations on your win, after this topic, I hope we will see that someone from here one first place on lottery. That is still a mystery for many of us here.

Your 1200 $ offer is very pretty, but you will need to use escrow if you wish someone to take you seriously. To many scammers tried same thing like OP is trying now, he is a newbie without any trust rating, I don`t wish to have prejudice and to say that all newbies are scammers cause of that it`s batter to everyone feel safe, with escrow that is possible.
Here on forum there is trusted people who will escrow founds, and there will be no problem. All that OP need to do is to write exactly what he wish and to make a little contest where he will choose best video. 2 btc is a lot of money, nobody will make a video just for trusting in your words.

Holding is waiting for price increase, trading is making money in real time. What is better depends from how much money you already have in
your wallet. I`m always for some fun, I chose gambling, but you trade if you see some fun in that, profit is just something for extra satisfaction.
If you think it`s bull trend then gamble till the end, wait maximum price and sell right before touch that max limit. Also if this is a bull trend we
can for expect some drop after that. What if price increase and hold there? Then this increase is not bull trend.

I wonder does op still think that price is stuck after this  pretty increase? This is again just another proof how much bitcoin is not stable, we can see price 50 dollars up or down in just few days.
For us little holders it's not much maybe, but can you imagine people with 100 bitcoins? It's 5 000 $! With 1000 bitcoins? It's 50 000 $!!!! That is just wow when you start to thing about big numbers.

Let's be realistic with our wishes. This is not possible to happen in next 10 years. After reading comments here on forum about next economic crises I was thinking that exactly that crises can help. They can speed up the process, cause after economy crash most currencies will go down, and there will be a chance for bitcoin to take higher position in worlds market's.
Predictions are saying that we can expect this crash very soon, economists are trying to warn the people, but nothing is happening really, richer are richer, this will explode one day, its just a question of time.

I never tried to gamble with other alt. Bitcoin is my thing, and I only have and earn bitcoins. I see the point, for example 1 btc is a lot of Doge's, so if we play agresive then its better to have more chips, that will be more chances for doubling bets.
I didn't try something like this until now, I need to do it soon, to exchange my bitcoins for litecoins of doge's or some other altcoin. Fortunejack accept many different coins, betcoin.ag  accept just litecoins beside bitcoins.
Can we play slots with this alt coins, did someone tried this? I wonder how much is minimal bet for slots or dices when someone play with altcoins?

I still use two faucets, signature campaign, and free roll poker tournament's. That is how I collect bitcoins, and it's going pretty good for now.
I'm planning to invest in casino bankroll, but that is still question, I'm collecting money for now, I wish to get in casino with more money. That can be very good way for generating bitcoins, many people are saying good things about it, and I need to try it.
For now that is how I make my coins, what I do after is other story.

Best time is not same for everyone. Probably best time is not depends from us at all, it depends from market.
I guess it can just be easier to get into trading, like it was with bitcoin few years ago, buy low and sell now when it's high. And opposite is when it's not so easy to trade. I think not all traders are earning money, it's not easy thing like most people imagine. Don't get into trading without knowledge. Learn about it, read here what other people say and then try something.

World economy will crash eventually, in last 15 years we saw couple crises, but next one can he big crash.
Chances for world to move on digital currency are pretty realistic to me, that will not be in same moment in all world, but if we see few states adopting digital currencies that can start new trend in world.
Gold is gold, big countries will always invest in that, I think that some big countries already invest in bitcoins or some alt coins, but of course they do it secretly. How would they explain in what they are investing to taxpayers.

Bitcoin is strong now more then ever before, and in future bitcoin can just grow stronger. That is logical to think, cause bitcoin is being constantly developed, more people are coming into digitalization, and for now bitcoin doesn't have any big threats.
I also would like to add that price shows how strong bitcoin is, and with this new increase bitcoin is showing to everyone that in future price can be higher and bitcoin stronger. Simply conclusions based on current and past situation.

Why always someone need to relate almost everything on this planet with politic? I`m against all politic, for me all politicians are bad people. They don`t know how to do anything, they are just good at one thing and it`s talking.
Bitcoin is payment system and I think that democracy is the worst thing that can happen with bitcoin, but not just that, everything else involved with politics can be bad thing for bitcoin. Bitcoin is currency, and bitcoin needs to have one role and that is to make things easier for people. We all know what is fiat, and where it comes from, bitcoin system is much better from my perspective.

You and me are same, and many others for sure. We make profit from nothing. We invested our time and energy into this and it's only way for us to make some money. I also converte bitcoins into my currency when I need money, and God knows that I would buy bitcoins many times until now just if I had money in pocket for that.
For us only way is earning bitcoins everyday, trying to double it on gambling. For sure people who have money should buy bitcoins now before price is not so high like it will be for 5 years.
