A centralized and controlled version of a digital currency backed by government is nothing different than the actual fiat money system. I mean almost 95% of the fiat money is digital. That is going in circles in my opinion. But let them do if they want to.I will not use that shitty crap.
It's called marketing and rebranding. THey will launch the same old shit with a different smell and sell it as the next big thing in hopes people ignore Bitcoin and go for the "official" alternative. Bitcoin needs to spend a lot in marketing too, let's not forget how marketing can win battles even if the advertised product is objectively worse than an alternative.

lol bitcoin as a retirement account is not agood idea...coz once if ur private key i guessed by hacker all your retirement will be gone...so think of it
First of all if you are going to look at Bitcoin as a retirement address, you will be creating a cold storage vault that is created offline and never enters the internet. This can be done by using for example Armory in a Live CD of Linux or Bitaddress.org by downloading the algorithm (even tho Armory is probably better). You get your private keys printed and there you have it, an unhackeable vault of Bitcoin. Now your worry is storing it in a place that cannot be robbed irl.

To save money first of all you need to be able to have excess money. A lot of people out there can't have excess of money simply because they get exactly right about enough money to pay bills, food, basic expenses, then they are back to 0. Every month, without a escape from this loop. This is why in capitalism most of the old money remains in old money's hand. If you are able to save money you are part of a privileged class.

Are there any dream fantasy e/sports that accept bitcoins?
What do you mean? e-sports as in gaming? I don't think so. I don't get why this isn't huge yet. I mean League of Legends moves millions of dollars yearly, it's a such a big business yet I can't find any big place with good cashflow to do some bettings on LOL teams. I think I could do well because im pretty knowledgeable with the scene and I know who is going to win usually.

I once had a website that used to show that message when I forgot to pay the host, so it's probably exactly that. I liked this website to get an average price of Bitcoin anywhere in a lightweight form, I always had a tab opened, I hope it comes back, meanwhile i will use a cryptofolio.info tab which also shows the price without wasting resources like Bitcoinwisdom.com

There's people out there like Ray Kurzweil predicting singularity reached by about 2045. I mean what would happen if this actually was the case, how would this interact with Bitcoin? If AI is reached and surpasses humans, the mining power.. so many questions. The next decades will be totally mindblowing and thats why I easily see Bitcoin reaching ridiculous amounts of value per coin, everything is going digital.

It seems like a good idea for me. The mentioned altcoin could be forced to be tied to Bitcoin value, and could be a brand new altcoin that could only be "mined" by changing satoshis to make it appear.
In fact, it could be named "satoshi-Tx" (satoshi for transfers LOL) and have the exact value of a satoshi, with his own chain.
But I guess that would be complicated to.
There's no way to force a value in a economy without manipulating and regulating it. No one is going to be interested in be part of that. What we've learned from our currency existence in history as cryptocurrency has spawned only a couple years ago is the fact that no one wants to pay for anything else that isn't Bitcoin, so whatever happens, will happen under Bitcoin's wings.

That's true, but I think they should buy some senior member accounts at good rate and then join signature campaign that would help them to earn more and faucets doesn't sounds great as it doesn't pay in higher amount, so for a newbie signature campaigns are the best option if they have senior member or hero member accounts than they can earn good bitcoins out of it.
Yeah, but buying a higher rank accounts directly isnt a good idea for newbies imo. They need to learn all thing about bitcointalk, even about what sign camp is, as a newbie. So they could buy higher rank account when they are atleast junior member, which they have known what a sign campaign is and all rules on this forum. Selling a newbie an hero account would be a waste of an account. The guy will probably get banned in no no time because it will be too obvious that he is way too clueless on any of this and he is just here to spam some one liners on the offtopic section to try to get some satoshis off a signature campaign. But sometimes those newbies aren't actual newbies and are buying the accounts through a newbie account so you never know.

From what I've read and i've read quite a bit, the limit is not an artificial one because some guys have an agenda to push Bitcoin into a fee market model, the thing is, the problem surrounding Bitcoin now leaves us no other choice but to do this unless we want to jeopardize the decentralization of nodes + other security problems.

Lack of tunnel vision bias. The 1k ATH will look like a tiny drop in the sea in the next decade or two. This is a hint in how Bitcoinwisdom will look like in the future: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffm.cnbc.com%2Fapplications%2Fcnbc.com%2Fresources%2Ffiles%2F2014%2F08%2F12%2FBerkshire-Hathaway-Class-A-Close_chartbuilder.png&t=663&c=8vMdFtM6p-QFug) We are in the "stable low price where everyone ignores the elephant in the room for years" phase. Pick up the easy fruits now or cry later.

Feels really, really, really good being so ahead in the game compared to the 99% of people out there. I mean back then who was aware on what an Altair 8800 was? probably just a bunch of nerds. The next 10 years are going to be amazing. Hold on to yer coins.

it mean time does not matter.activities are main matter?
Yes but activity require time , I mean you only gain 14 Activity per two weeks and you don't get activity if you don't have posts . and here is how much time is needed to rank-up if you post regulary and get 14 activity per two weeks 1 X 14 = 14 2 X 14 = 28 3 X 14 = 42 -- Jr. Member ( 1.5 month) 4 X 14 = 56 5 X 14 = 70 -- Member (2.5 month) 6 X 14 = 84 7 X 14 = 98 8 X 14 = 112 9 X 14 = 126 -- Full Member (4.5 month) 10 X 14 = 140 11 X 14 = 154 12 X 14 = 168 13 X 14 = 182 14 X 14 = 196 15 X 14 = 210 16 X 14 = 224 17 X 14 = 238 18 X 14 = 252 -- Senior Member (8.5 month) 19 X 14 = 266 20 X 14 = 280 21 X 14 = 294 22 X 14 = 308 23 X 14 = 322 24 X 14 = 336 25 X 14 = 350 26 X 14 = 364 27 X 14 = 378 28 X 14 = 392 29 X 14 = 406 30 X 14 = 420 31 X 14 = 434 32 X 14 = 448 33 X 14 = 462 34 X 14 = 476 35 X 14 = 490 -- Hero Member (1.3 years) 36 X 14 = 504 37 X 14 = 518 38 X 14 = 532 39 X 14 = 546 40 X 14 = 560 41 X 14 = 574 42 X 14 = 588 43 X 14 = 602 44 X 14 = 616 45 X 14 = 630 46 X 14 = 644 47 X 14 = 658 48 X 14 = 672 49 X 14 = 686 50 X 14 = 700 51 X 14 = 714 52 X 14 = 728 53 X 14 = 742 54 X 14 = 756 55 X 14 = 770 56 X 14 = 784 -- Legendary lucky rank starts (2 years) 57 X 14 = 798 58 X 14 = 812 59 X 14 = 826 60 X 14 = 840 61 X 14 = 854 62 X 14 = 868 63 X 14 = 882 64 X 14 = 896 65 X 14 = 910 66 X 14 = 924 67 X 14 = 938 68 X 14 = 952 69 X 14 = 966 70 X 14 = 980 71 X 14 = 994 72 X 14 = 1008 73 X 14 = 1022 74 X 14 = 1036 75 X 14 = 1050 76 X 14 = 1064 77 X 14 = 1078 78 X 14 = 1092 -- Not achieved yet, wait for this update -> Legendary rank achieved! (3 years)
As you see it takes a long time to become legendary member on here. That being said those of you who sell accounts or buy accounts you need to view this chart and see the time it takes for members to rank up and sell accordingly. Dont let ppl talk you into selling for less than an account is really worth Wow, that's awesome, I got legendary status on the first possible activity level! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) That sounds extremely lucky. I wonder what are the % of getting Legendary on 784. Considering there are 22 ranks above that to the limit (1092), 22x14=308 extra days of potential waiting. So around 0.22% possibilities to get that lucky??

let me tell the price of three coin account and how much caan i eearn by every post.
You could ask in the marketplace -> digital goods section and open a thread that says "[WTB] Full Member account" and you'll have people making offers. There isn't a fixed price. Hero Accounts went for almost 2 BTC last time I saw it, Full account may go for less than 0.5, probably something between 0.1 to 0.4 depending on the BTC price.

It is "safe" for the most part, especially on Bitfinex due to their size and track record. Lending for margin on exchanges has proven to be a stabe return for some investors and is geared more towards the risk averse who would rather not take a chance in playing with the markets but rather have the opportunity to generate slight gains regardless of whether the market is going up or down.
I would not expect to get rich on margin lending/swaps though.
Well, if OP has 65 BTC and he starts making 2.6 BTC a day (who the hell makes that?), in a month he'll have more than doubled his investment. Then he just has to reinvest again and keep building a ton of BTC. Seems like a good deal to me. Too good to be true actually, even considering the risk that the exchange may run away which is unlikely that you are that unlucky that it happens when you are doing it. You'll need to get your Bitcoins taxed tho, as far as I know Poloniex is going to require you all kind of credentials, not sure how Bitifinex works tho.

Well, considering Bitcoin will reach it's 21th million coin at about year 2140, im hoping that to reach full version (version 1.0) it takes a little bit less than that. I don't want to be a grandpa that is still waiting to use something out of the beta phase of Bitcoin, I hope the full version has arrived by then ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Maybe when technology gets better we'll come up with a legit way to make gains with cloudmining, but right now I haven't seen any evidence of it being a worthy investment. But then again, if the tech gets better, the miners will push the market accordingly. There's no escape.

Not near, but I know some places that have IRL shops with bitcoin merchants. I would need to take a travel with my car or train to get there tho, so im not sure if that qualifies as "around me", but not that far to the point it becomes stupid to go there to do some shopping.

Well it seems some people want to turn Bitcoin into an elitist asset that only rich people would use anyway. I think thats a guaranteed failure. We NEED to both take care of small transactions and huge transactions too. Cash going away is a reality in the following years and we need a solid system to counteract the e-fiat closed source crypto that the gov will drop on us.

I would just suggest that you get an actual job whether it be an easy part time job or an actual job, and set aside in your budget $1 for each hour you work to be put into purchasing bitcoins. At this time, I would think this would be the easiest way to attain bitcoins without having to earn say $.001 an hour enduring faucets and the like. There is no new online jobs that really offer you to earn bitcoins per hour, unless you are a web developer or something like that.
He probably wants to make some beermoney on the side of having a real job, I don't think anyone can survive with 1 dollar an hour. Anyway, any signature campaign that doesn't have depressing rates should deliver 1 dollar after one hour, but do not spam making 100 posts a day or else you'll probably get banned.

Why would you do that? It seems like a big risk to put a stack of money outside your wallet in some gambling site that may dissapear next morning. Unless someone has a better idea to make profit off those 40 BTC, I would just hold them. The interest is the what you will get as BTC goes up in price in the future. If you want quicker rewards you need bigger risks, and that's probably trading, gambling and putting your coins in some dodgy place like BTCJams or a house edge on a casino.
