Well we are nearing the end of 2016 already and I think there will be only one more big chance in price around december. Reason for this is that people will be off/have spare money/christmas bonuses etc etc. More money to invest right! But IMO 2017 will be a bigger year for bitcoin, this year were a few setbacks and I think next will be smooth sailing.

You shouldn't set up a dark marketplace cause it requires alot of work and attracts bad attention aswell.
If you are only into legal stuff then a dark marketplace is not needed for anything. They are mostly used to sell illegal stuff cause it's hard to backtrace anything. You can look up on youtube "How to set up a dark marketplace tor" or something similar and you will find enough tutorials etc.

Yep true just invest as much as you can lose. I invest 25% because with 75% of what I earn I can live comfortably. I am a risk taker and this is also fun for me to invest and see what happens, who knows I might get lucky and when I do i'll be sure that I have alot of bitcoin lying around. If bitcoin shows even more promising news then I will invest even more, that's just how it works.

I don't think it will affect so much because there are other forums which are more aimed towards games and that's where the majority are going to do bussiness steam-wise I think. Also alot of people will just buy directly from steam and we are going to see alot of resellers that will accept bitcoin then. I think when steam accepts btc it's going to be a big step forward.

I will quit my dayjob if I saved enough money in my retirement fund to retire and then I would go full bitcoin. But that is not anytime soon though and right now I don't have the money to actually stop my job and go full on bitcoin because the first month already I wouldn't be able to pay my gas bills rent bills etc. But in the future then yes maybe if I am retired then its the same as quitting no?

Yes this might very well happen. Bitcoin is also not very very secure as proven in the past.
An alt coin might take over and do it better, maybe google will buy the idea and they would rule the world via their currency. Sounds crazy but i think it's very possible. But for bitcoin to die there needs to be a very big reason or innovative idea.

This goal is pretty high to have 21 bitcoin. I don' t think I will reach that.
The reason for that is because I don't think I put enough money into bitcoin to be able to reach that and freelance jobs don't pay that good just a few. So probably I will hover around 15 before it reaches 1k cause I'm almost there already. But there's no super rush can still earn them when they are a little bit more expensive aswell.

Yes bitcoin is exactly what you described in the title actually. "A good way to store money".
This is because with bitcoin you could earn a potentially very high interest rate depending on how it goes. But bitcoin have always been profitable so if you know what you are doing you can actively store and make money.

Yeah there are some online shops doing this but I would also love to just drive to the mall and enter "Bitcoin plaza" or something equal. I would also love to pay in the macdonalds! imagine macdrive and you drive past a bar code which you just scan to pay.

Yes I was thinking about this option cause I could live comfortably without my job. I decided to not do it just because I wouldn't be able to handle full time on bitcoin.
There would be not enough work for me to do to fill up an 8 hour day so I decided to work less and balance the two things.

Next to earning them I buy some bitcoins, my reasons for buying are because I don't earn enough of them and I'm not satisfied with that amount. I want to have a good amount in the wallet just incase they skyrocket.

Yes it is alot of risk but not just little profit the profit can turn out to be very much in the end so I think just receiving PART of your salary in bitcoin is very smart and safe like this you have something of both worlds if one falls

I like bitcoin more. Bitcoin is way more anonymous and gives you less annoying things you have to do. On paypal I had to verify super often and I had alot of trouble with payments being charged back etc etc. The customer support is friendly but with bitcoin I don't have to go trough any trouble.

Have seen some dark stuff man, hiring killers buying weapons all kinds of drugs. Sexdolls no problem used lingerie or any kind of clothing wear no problem. even used protection is for sale. I guess because bitcoin is pretty anonymous alot of stuff will be crazy

I'm waiting for steam to accept btc. I would like to buy a new videocard. But most of all I wish I could buy flight and hotel tickets trough bitcoin. Would make life a little more sweet. So far all I have bought via bitcoin are a screen and some black coffee!

Well the day has finally come that I can reply in this thread and say you were wrong.
As of today the bitcoin is hovering over and around the 600 and it's what, only September?
Interesting development seeing the coin shoot up by 30-40$. Stay positive and let's see what the upcoming months will bring instead of claiming the price will never rise..

Depends on your goals really. But keeping money on a bank is a waste IMO. There are more the enough safe investments which give a higher return rate then what the bank gives. Investing in bitcoin might proof to be worth it for you, it was for me. Bitcoin was my first "investment" and it got me hooked.

I would do the same as you except spend it all on resellable junk so I could get some cash from it instead of buying useless junk and stockpiling my whole house.
Probably buy some high end videocards etc they easily sell

These kind of things are just the reason why people expect to get rich too just all of a sudden. Remember that you buy/use bitcoin for the future it holds, not the money it can give you.
Not a lot of non traders would buy a currency and hope to 10double in a matter of 1 year.

I find it noble they still trying to contribute to society. It's even better your government to make a sinning hobby to virtuous hobby. Spending all tax income to poor people is good. Give them equal chances, and yes that means also the newbie europeans. Although I have to admin 300k for such a small country is too much.
