Mine wasn't that bad, but investing 0.1 into Genesis mining. Im still making a generous 0.000003 a day. It was a great learning experience, I guess. Worst decision by far was taking 3 bitcoins and putting it in CEX and watching it slowly grind away as it was never ROI.
Best decision was buying 8.2 btc at $320 in anticipation to the halving then selling some at $600 some at $650 and the last 2 at $700. Hoping to buy back in if it drops into the $500's.
Congrats! What did you spend the profits on, if you did buy anything? Or are you going to hold it even further?

Update 9~Snipped~
Thank you. If you read 2nd post of this thread, you would have known that I just honored previous accepted participants for this week. Will personally re-evaluate everyone later today and let them know who gets to continue for succeeding weeks. Oh, no. I didn't mean to offend. I understand that youre only allowing them to stay, im just giving you a heads up. You're great campaign manager, I respect you.

Thinking it would be cool to do this. If you can't do it already, it should be a thing!
Let's say I have one Ledger wallet. I understand that any address it generates will be a derivative of the private key. In this way, any addresses generated can be linked through something like walletexplorer.
But I've just realised after months of using my Ledger wallet that you can make new accounts inside the same wallet. So if I create an address here, will this address be totally disconnected from one that is in a different account? (Not connectable by something like walletexplorer)
Or is it just a UI thing, your addresses are in actuality together, but in the wallet are just shown seperately?
Also, if these addresses are actually unconnected, would this be be a security hazard for something like the forum
Regards.

Well, with the price so low, as many people have expressed, people will buy again. Unless there's a fatal flaw in the coin (more than likely). Because I could buy around $1k BTC. Won't be much of a loss, but I could make a killing if the price Rose even a dollar.

Alts are just pump and dump schemes. People buy up the market, other people follow and the price naturally rises. Once it rises a substantial amount, the first few investors drop all their coins until an exchange and profit.

I did once gamble 0.2 on a big game (nitrogensports, Envyus v Fnatic if I remember correctly), and as many say, "the wrong team won".
Was pretty depressing to see a red.

It took me literally minutes to understand "Son of a bit since 2008". Realisation took me by surprise. Satoshi Satoshenomination of a bit(coin), which was created in 2008.
Lol.
I love your work, op!

Think of bitcoin as money. How do you earn money? I can think of a few ways to earn money.
- Gambling - Doing work - Winning competitions
There are many more ways!

Any idea of when the Trezor 2 will come out? I'm super-intrested in it. I can't afford to go to Prague to test it, either. But i'm guessing early 2017?

Bitcoin is a possession. If you steal it, you're stealing someone's possessions! Theft is illegal in most places (Please feel free to name me a place that where it isn't)

Then you're stupid to believe it!
Bitcoin is only as strong as the people who use it. That's also why it's so strong. Those people who were saying that at the bar were probably sooo drunk tho.

Why don't you use this forum? There are some traders here that trade for bitcoin and have a small fee for their work. You can choose the more reputable ones, but they might cost you more.

You want reversible transactions? Use PayPal. You want to get scammed? Do the same. Reversible transactions (Especially with something like bitcoin) will encourage chargebacks. The only reason that you would want to charge back normally would be that if you accidentally sent wrongly, or you get scammed(This is extremely hard to do if your victim is half-sane). Would you rather get chargeback scammed every day, or get scammed/send an incorrect transaction once a year?

A little more than $5,000. I purchased 8 bitcoin when the price dropped to $300 after the Gox incident, and slowly my bitcoin has doubled then tripled into my investment now. I'm extremely proud.

Everything I've learned about bitcoin is from this forum. Mind you, I've learned alot. I've learned the basics of bitcoin (Transacting, encrypting, signing), and learned even further (Made a bitcoin app ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) )

Bosses say 1MB is enough than 1MB is enough.
You already have a bitcoin with larger blocks and faster confirmations, it's called litecoin, go get some!
But litecoin is a shitcoin, bitcoin is my one and only <3 Who are your bosses? The miners? As Decoded said, this blocksize debate relies on the opinion of the miners, and it benefits them more to stick with a low block (and almost infeasible) limit.

I would probably just spend it all in games.

Floppy disks are very outdated and they are very unreliable when it comes to storing files. Paper wallets are probably better for storing them, and even USBs are bad but not as bad as floppy disks.

Mining was just as profitable back then as it is now. But anyway, I was not effected by the decreasing profit of bitcoin mining as I never mined.
