You guys are basicly making an excuse for yourselves to not own a Bitcoin. It is about choices indeed. Am I going to buy that new game or buy bitcoins with it, Am I going to gamble or store my bitcoins away. Seriously think about it, not judging anyone.
So what if we don't own a single bitcoin yet? It will affect your life? Like I said ''not judging'' however owning 1 bitcoin is not that hard. If you want to make up an excuses for yourself go ahead because that will definitely not affect my life. Just saying Excuses? What want do you want me or others to say? I have one bitcoin? Even I don't have? LOL. I don't get your point in your "excuses" point. Why are you affected so much because people don't own a single bitcin. None of your business dude. I is not my intention to make you mad or sad. If by any chance you are mad or sad please accept my sincere apology. However I still stand by my opinion that there is no excuse for a person, especially when active on this forum not to own at least 1 bitcoin. It is not like the people who are active here on this forum don't have acces to a computer or internet  We can agree to disagree, just saying dude Of course there is an excuse. How about living in places like Bangladesh and so on with really low salaries? How are you going to make 1 BTC when 1 BTC is higher than minimum wage? It's not easy at all. For most people reaching 1 BTC is an special achievement. |

You can use online PDF viewers so you do not have to open it with your pc
This will not save you if the PDF has inbuilt malicious code on it. It's irrelevant if you open it by downloading it on your PC or temporally on a website. If you are on Windows I wouldn't open dodgy ass PDFs. |

Most people in /r/bitcoin has zero idea of the implications XT would cause
Pretty much this, any comment that isn't following the XT agenda gets downvoted to oblivion on reddit. so bitcoin xt is censored?
Nope it just altcoins belong in Altcoin Discussion. Simple as that  So it's seems this is ending up in a Bitcoin talk (Core) vs Reddit (XT) sort of war? Kinda sad to see I think. Can't we really reach some common ground? |

I hate being right.  You've never been right. You are the same idiot that screamed "it's crashing dump" everytime brk-a went down. You are the idiot that would have sold in 1996.5  Again, in 10 years you will NOT be here posting under your same account because you'll be too ashamed to look back at your posting history: This is a fact. Bitcoin is not going anywhere, now or 10 years later. It's going to be the same crap coin as ever. I'm not an idiot as you claim. I'm well educated, well travelled, run multiple businesses succefully, richer and more handsome than the 99% of the population. Don't be mad at the prophet. Bitcoin crash deniers are worse than the global climate change deniers. Cool, now you can join the well educated, well travelled (it's traveled, so much for well educated), run multiple businesses succefully (it's successfully, i doubt you can run a business), richer and more handsome than the 99% of the population group of idiots that were completely wrong in technological predictions such as: 2006: “Everyone’s always asking me when Apple will come out with a cell phone. My answer is, ‘Probably never.’” — David Pogue, The New York Times. |

If you're not a miner, the halving shouldn't have much effect. 14.5 million of 21 million bitcoins have already been mined. Everybody knows this event is coming, so it should already be priced in.
If you are a miner, then you're running spreadsheets to see what equipment to keep, what equipment to dump, and what equipment to buy. Much of the older gear will be junked at the halving.
I think precisely because of the fact that everyone is expecting something, even if it's nothing, but everyone has the halving date on their minds, because of this, a huge pump can happen. The market game is a psychological one after all, psychology defeats all possible TA. |

For the first few months they would do good, but after quite some time they'll fuck you over. That's how scam works, you know? Specially in the world of bitcoin. Idk why would they scam for $750 if they're a registered service. Sorry for your loss, Elwar. I'm interested in living with only bitcoins, but there aren't so much services and merchants around here that accepts bitcoin. Hmm, I wonder if an individual could live with bitcoins 100%? There is a documentary for that, right? Yes there is a documentary, but I don't think it's possible 100% legally, it's impossible to pay for bills 100% with bitcoin and it's impossible to own real state with bitcoin without getting it taxed which defeats the point of having bitcoin if you are a libertarian. |

Are you inspired by those bitcoin millionaires? Are you thinking of filing a resignation letter on your day job (if you have any) and focus on bitcoin instead?
Me? I do have a day job and I consider bitcoin as my side job. I don't want to lose that another source of income just because bitcoin is awesome.
I would love, but to do so I would need a monthly income that allows you to pay all my expenses. sharing bitcoin all over the world would be a very interesting work I say its very rare for someone to go full time, because like you mentioned "expenses" can add up and the value of btc is far too low still to cover it. The person would have to produce or have more btc to make up for the low value, overall. But in getting 100% with btc, a person have no limits on earning. and also in case of some signature campaigns there is no limit on earning bitcoin and we have to decide that how much we want to earn weekly/biweekly/monthly Leaving your job to spend full time on signature campaigns is nonsense. You will never make enough money for it to be worth it and it's a dead end, once you reach Hero or sometimes Sr Member because most of the campaign runners are paying the same for Sr than for Hero and Legendary, you can't really make any more money. If you post something ridiculous like 100 post a day or something is just not worth the time, any regular job pays better. If one could outsource this somehow and make passive income and keep growing it would be worth it, but it depends on you being basically all day churning out posts which is impossible long term. |

i dont understand voice its all gobble were doo these tribesmen come from
Are you incapable of reading subtitles? Maybe you are the tribesman and you should go back to your tribe, it seems computers and let alone Bitcoin will be way too much for you, considering you can't read. BTW I remember seeing the BBVA brand in a speech by Andreas Antonopolous, it seems they are really pro-bitcoin. Yep I remember this, it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0mykANOMGQI was surprised to see a big bank supporting Bitcoin, it seems they are really supporting it and it's not the "blockchain only" bullshit. |

Damn XT already got 44% of the hashing power? How can I follow the statistics in real life of this? It will be interesting to see if it reaches super majority. It's really growing fast it seems. Maybe we have bigger blocks sooner than expected. |

How safe it is to use HD wallets and to share public master keys to receive payments? I want to get on this, but im too paranoid about doing anything that involves leaving the legacy Bitcoin Core wallet.
Its safe as long as you do not disclose a single private key. I remember watching a podcast with Andreas Antonopoulos and he mentioned how sharing a private public key might not be that safe, so I have my doubts. Excuse me while I find the podcast. Edit: I finally found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPvsTe5bjGs |

I dont think its about anonymity but more about using bitcoin. Miners like myself will like to use it to buy stuff with bitcoin.  Well, buying with Bitcoin should have an incentive, if it's not anonymity then it should be lower prices, but the thing is I don't see how this method would lead to lower prices when shopping, might as well buy it directly with fiat by converting to fiat. |

You can try to earn it from faucet, signature campaign , or selling your sales product. Afterward you can start trading on exchanger for buy some altcoin or if you feel lucky , you can try to gamble it away. There's no shortcut to success. Good luck
Faucets are a waste of time, signature campaigns pay too low, only if they made the payments higher specially during low prices like we are back at, it would be worth spending considerable amounts of time, selling your product is an actual business. There's no easy way to grow your BTC, that's the thing. |

Canada has an amazing policy on this currently. So i am very content with this.
Then again, it's really hard for any government to crack down on you if you have BTC and bought something online with it, sooo.
Is it that big of an issue?
Would probably depend on how sizable your salary is. If you earn a lot yearly (100k+) in the form of Bitcoin, and spend it on a lot, you might be audited and get into trouble for tax evasion. If he works as a freelancer programmer and gets paid directly on his address and doesn't attach his name to his address publicly, uses different addresses per client.. then it's pretty much impossible for the gov to know you own any Bitcoins. If he buys stuff directly with Bitcoin that isn't real state based as in a terrain, house or vehicle, and he sticks to buying just "stuff" like a phone, videogames, whatever, I don't think the gov is going to ask for the shop about it. Has this ever happen? it seems very farfetched. Audit would start if he constantly converts big amounts of BTC into fiat. |

Noone wants "cheap" coins for $265...
Down we go again. Hopefully people will like coins for $250 or less.
I'll like coins at 200$ this is my buy-target, meanwhile i'm waiting.....it will happen! ?? How can you be sure that buying at 200$ would result in a profit later on? If the price goes down constantly it probably means that it will still go down even more so i would be really careful to buy bitcoins at 200$ just because they are worth 200 I'n my honest opinion i think that a <value on 1 bitcoin would be more people will buy it. Imagine if BTC goes down at 150$, there will be a lot of buy orders and then value will go up again. Off course i'm not , and i can't be sure about the profit, this only my opinion People will need to deal with the fact BTC will eventually achieve 5 figures per coin and more, once the waiting whales drop in. We don't need mainstream adoption, just old money whales being interested on it and the price will pretty much sky rocket. |

Everyone will be using Bitcoin in 10 years even if they don't know they are using Bitcoin. The infrastructures will move to the blockchain and some will use sidechains which ultimately are using the Bitcoin blockchain as well. GUIs on programs may not even mention Bitcoin usage but under the shelf it will be Bitcoin transactions.

Is there a total negative number of dollars in the world?
there can't be such construction as "negative" dollar, simply because even debt is always owned by somebody. and because debts rising, it basically means, that amount to dollars also raising (and they have to print more and more of them) to balance the situation.. Well, if you are like me and think the dollar is a joke post-nixon detachment with the gold standard, then something like 90% of dollar out there is not "owned" by anyone. I can't say I own my dollars, I don't know what will happen to them, but I know I own my Bitcoins, I know the private keys will stay with me for life and beyond, until the end of the universe. 1BTC = 1BTC. |

According to the latest news we are seeing, literally every business and venture related to Bitcoin is leaving New York City due BitLicense not so cool regulations. My question is, if everyone leaves, what's the point for a BitLicense to stay? Will the BitLicense stay even if there are 0 businesses there?
Will this set and example and make other places consider implementing a BitLicense type regulation twice?

I want to buy tickets with BITCOIN for the concert of Enrique Iglesias, the concert is in 13 August in Marbella, Spain.
I need 10 tickets and I want to buy them with BITCOIN.
Thanks for help.

Some people will always be opposed to technological development because it may ruin existing businesses and kick a lot of people out into unemployment, sometimes unemployment that will be perpetual because the people are too old or incapable to learn something new to do. Its still nonsense to be against it tho.

The main problem is fewer and fewer people will be able to run nodes. Hard disk space is definitely not a problem, it gets cheaper, now bandwidth, thats another history, i dont think moore's law follows there, the bandwith development is not as steady as HDD development.
