constructive post, my friend.
People who go full bitcoin most likely have a stable income in bitcoin and they just use the prepaid card workaround for everyday expenses. But that doesn't really promote bitcoin as much as merchants using it as a payment option
Also I don't think that we have that many users and merchants. One porn site had 5% of its purchases made in bitcoin. Don't really recall the news article that I read, but if we could get 5% of the worldwide adoption, then the project would be mass success(not saying it isn't already). 5% would mean quite a lot of adoption. My guess is that it's just a matter of time and educating other people about bitcoin.
I will keep reporting him until he gets banned, its annoying that because he is a hero member he thinks he can do anything he wants, and get away with it. Moderators really have a big discriminatory policy here against ranks. But other than that, dont feed the troll and ignore him, he probably has an IQ of 50 or he is drunk or something.
I think the porn industry can be a start, because it can attract more adult people who have memberships in many sites. It will not be the ultimate tool but it can be a valuable magnet to bitcoin. But we have to find ways to attract real women too like i explained in point 10) |

The problem is that people cannot understand the concept of bitcoins and think it is a scam since the founder's identity is not known and they can't file charges to anyone if anything goes wrong.
I think we should teach/promote facts about bitcoins to people instead of marketing it as in investment.
File charges? So if you fall down the stairs you sue the stairs or yourself? Bitcoin is not a human entity, it's part of nature, mostly financial nature, and it's a separate entity from all of us. So it's not like scammers or thieves are doing what their doing because of bitcoin. There were plenty of those before bitcoin, and if bitcoin would have no existed there would be many scammers too. So I dont see any link between bitcoin and scamming, these are independent things. |

This thread basically tells us the relationship between risk and reward..... More risk = more reward.
Not always. More reward = More risk More risk =/= More reward It's not a reciprocal relationship, risk is always a dark side to reward like matter and antimatter. Don't know in what section you would put it, but you can also set up your own referral site for faucets. Something like a rotator or faucet list. That's an easy way to get small amounts of bitcoin. Once you get enough traffic you could post some ads to it as well (Covered in the blogging/writing aspect).
I've seen people say there's not much money in setting up your own faucet, but you could do that as well. It's risky with bots and such, but there has to be some faucets that make money. Weekend faucet seems to be doing pretty well, but they also have a few apps and such.
There's a tutorial here on how to set-up your own rotator (with free hosting and site) and another one on the forum on how to set up your own faucet. Initial investment would be nothing and the amount of gains would probably be small, but for anyone interested in starting there own site or coding it seems like the initial time investment would be worth it.
Yes thats in the service sector. You setting up a faucet is a service that you give to others. It is covered in my guide. |

I think you're characterizing the opportunities in Mining too favorably, optimistically.
Mining is very expensive, takes a lot of time, and doesn't pay much (considering how much investment needs to be made). You could spend a few hundred dollars on a mining machine and wait months (and spend more money in electricity) to get paid very little.
Risk Level: High
Profit Level: Low
Reliability Level: Medium
Providing services is THE BEST way to earn bitcoin. Signature campaigns pay more than money when you consider the amount of time, energy and investment put into the endeavor.
Right, although i never mined, i did some calculations and showed that with an initial invesment that some of us have, you can barely earn 0.05-0.07 bitcoins daily. So most of us dont even have that money for equipment to mine a net 0.01 /day. Although I dont think the risk is high since it's pretty stable, since the difficulty & electricity costs are very predictable, so the risk is not that high. A big risk would be something totally unexpected like with investing & gambling, but i think mining has much less risk than those. |

Not in the UK, no data is collected unless you spend over £5000 in 1 transaction or over £10,000 in one year per bullion dealer. I presume you live in the "land of free"  + why would they go through all the hassle of chasing people spread out through country that may or may not have an amount of gold when the laws are already in place to freeze and apply a haircut to their bank balance. All done with a few key strokes, lower cost + much higher return. No i dont live there, but still it is very funny because even if the dealer doesnt collect, the bank might have the info necessary. Or the dealer keeps a record of his customers for whatever reason. I`m not sure, but i figure it's not that hard to get a list of past gold buyers, because the info is out there. PS. Bank accounts will be wiped instantly, no question about that, then they come after the gold. |

Confiscated by who?
Who knows who does and doesnt have gold?
How do they know if you havent previously sold it on?
The confiscation statement is bullshit, even the US's confiscation period was a failure with only a tiny % handed in.
Here is a flip side argument.
There is a case detailed on this forum where a guys house was raided by the feds and he was forced to hand over his wallet passwords.
I bet its far easier for them to trace via I.P addresses who has bitcoin than it is to find out who holds gold.
That was like 100 years ago. Now they got tons of info on every person, including buy & sale data from gold vendors from their KYC info. They dont know how much gold you have excactly but they know that if you have, and when they ask for it and you dont hand it over, they will come for you. Plus back then people were liberty oriented so they didnt handed it over, but now they are all socialists who dont even know what gold is. |

I gotta admit the slotmachine is well done. I dont usually play slot machines but the one on Satoshidice is irresistable. Good job!  Thanks, it was quite a bit of work to make it. Can we quote you?  What do you mean by quoting? Like testimonial? |

Except that most of the cheap and easy to access gold has already been mined.
Energy prices will continue to increase (ignoring the current short term blip) resulting in increased mining costs.
Growing populations such as India and now China (after they just removed their 1 child policy) with a cultural draw to gold.
A world economy on the brink of going tits up which result in a flight to safety - Gold.
Bitcoin could be big in 10 years or kids could be asking "what's a bitcoin" as its dead as a dodo.
And how safe is to store your gold in a hostile enviroment? It can be confiscated anytime. Plus scarcity =/= demand. There are a limited amount of flies on earth too, that doesn't mean that they hold any value to humans. |

in the present day world, i couldnt really say that the current international tensions would result in a third world war anytime soon, but its not wrong to say that the tensions from the various problems all over the world are in general, increasing, which leaves up the possibility for a third world war in the future. not sure i worded that the best, but i think it gets the point across, sort of.
now, with nuclear weapons in the picture, of course, no one really wants to end 95% of life on earth, but if one were to break out, a fallout game-esque world in the future might be possible. as for the china issue, there's nothing for a country / nation to fear if there arent any others left to sanction them or whatever, the world would be a wasteland by the end of the first bombings.
Ok so let's see a hypothetical scenario of NATO vs BRICS. Did you know that more countries import from China? Yes back in ww1 and ww2 all countries were almost self-sufficient except for oil in ww2. Now what? You dont even have damn farmlands for fruits & vegetables, most of them are grown in tropic/subtropic countries and imported to big economies. Big economies like Germany,UK, USA all rely on massive imports: cheap labour, raw materials, oil, products, etc.. They are in no condition to fight a war, and if they dont use nukes, then the war could last hundreds of years. But their economy will implode in like 2. Impossible. And BRICS doesn't want a war. So there will be no WW3. |

i'll go for bitcoin definitely 'cause i can see bitcoin on mainstream in the next 10 years. also i can a see a better future with bitcoin than with gold
Yep good logic. You could see a bigger bitcoin with more users in 10 years. But you cant see a bigger userbase for gold in 10 years. Why? Because bitcoin can add new value to itself as time goes on and more merchants and payment options roll out. Gold will be the same old metal always, and nothing new can be added to it. |

Ok let's get back to topic, enough time wasted already with trolls. Look another interesting article: http://cointelegraph.com/news/115642/how-to-find-sponsors-that-will-pay-you-to-travel-using-only-bitcoinWe definitely need more articles like this, or a central repository (something obviously better than bitcoin wiki, as its not that service oriented), that can contains thousands of tutorrials and guides like this to use bitcoin in real life. Few of use have the determination to go full bitcoin, because few merchants use it, but if we can link the supply & demand togeter we form a big enough market for this to just work. There are millions of bitcoin users waiting for merchants, and there are millions of merchants waiting for (any) users. We need to link them together, and the link is bitcoin. |

Meanwhile you guys argue heavily, I see that my tweet got tons of attention https://twitter.com/RealBitcoinBlog/status/660243941091078144Over 70 retweets so far, I had some spare ad credits and I decided to advertise the NXT TREE tweet. Yes we need to tell the world about the upcoming and existing features of NXT. In my view NXT is still the best altcoin! |

Do you even know what farm to table Turing complete means?  I do but you are changing the subject, a very coward way to debate somebody, it means that you lose the argument. However it's not like ETH is ready isnt it? So for now it is only a fantasy. |

Funny, "basically nothing" is exactly how I would describe what NXT has done over the past few years, despite millions of dollars in funding and millions of lines of code. Microsoft Azure is now offering ETH as a service. Do they offer NXT as a service? Ha! Just Kidding!!! NXT won't even be *mentioned* in Szabo's speech tomorrow. It's NOT EVEN A FOOTNOTE. You don't have to study CS at the highest levels (as I have) to know that means NXT = R3KT. ETH, which makes NXT "pocket calculator" platform obsolete, is only getting started. V1 and the GUI aren't even out yet.... Well that only proves a conspiracy against NXT, it doesn't prove that NXT doesn't have any value. It's easy to find conspiracies here, because everybody is a shareholder of some altcoin, and they will fight hard to slander and eliminate the competitor. I would not be surprized if those guys invested in ETH and dont even want to hear about NXT, just like yo do |

No one planned ww1 or ww2.
Acrually they did. Hitler planned ww2 at least 10 years back. And ww1 was probably planned too by Austria, or atleast the tensions were too high that everybody knew that war was inevitable. These wars don't just happen instantaneously, if you look carefully you can forecast them easily 10-15 years before. Now I`m sure with Nukes and modern economy, nobody wants a world war anymore, because all countries are now import based from China. If China is attacked, every economy on Earth collapses. |

I'm flattered by your fanboy curiosity regarding my CV, but it's off-topic on a thread called "[NXT] Nxt - Official Thread." How much did jl777 make pumping and dumping SuperNet and its myriad associated scam assets like BitcoinDark and https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_jlh ? How much did the 17 NXT insiders making pumping and dumping their scam platform and its myriad associated scam assets? Tomorrow morning in London, Nick Szabo will speak at DEVCON1, the ETH conference, on the topic "The History of the Blockchain." NXT will not be mentioned. But it will be made (charitably assuming it isn't already) obsolete by Ethereum and its Turing-complete brethren. How much did the ETH guys made by selling dreams and giving basically nothing yet. Run out of funds because they give themselves monstruous salaries for jackshit they done nothing for, good luck with that scam. I dont know about those pumps and dumps, but ETH has been through some too didnt it? I wonder who is profiting from those insider tradings...? |

Oh shit! Not that! You didn't really - did you? Please don't do that. I am so sorry I take it all back. Please forgive me. I couldn't stand to be banned for being naughty. Anything but not a ban. Oh I do hate when someone is so hurt by my naughty words.
Fuck off you moron. If you just wise the fuck up - I might consider not calling you a moron. If you keep filling the forum with your dumbass ideas, you'll be called far more than a moron.
Moron.
[well, I guess that means the admin hasn't seen your message yet.]
Just fuck off already, if you would be a bit more respectful I would debate you on why you think my ideas are wrong. But because you are an insulting troll here, you dont deserve shit. I wont even reply to you anymore, keep trolling here, show the world how childish you are. |

Are you talking about static electric?
No sorry I was talking about this, in my native language its called other https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energySo you have potential energy , otherwise you can't explain pressure and your density phenomena. But what is that force itself if not gravity? Or in quantum physics how does it work? |
