Nonsense! You can buy as much of it as you want. 10 years ago you could spend 100 dollars to buy bitcoin and now you can still spend 100 dollars and buy bitcoin.


No. Bitcoin is popular in Venezuela and India. These are low income countries. You're making it up or do you have an article or survey to support it?

Are you really ready to trust them to do it the right way? I'm not saying they could steal your Bitcoin but if they're newbies they will make newbie mistakes. They won't check if the addresses are correct, click on phishing links thinking they are logging into your exchange account, they will use devices that aren't secure and have no antivirus software. There's many ways a newbie can mess up.

I went to a conference once and it was nice. Not many people but it was a good effort from the organizers.

I've never arranged a meetup for myself but I know some bitcoiners and talk to them on social media from time to time. I also know a person who organized that conference and old him to mail me if they do it again or need some help with it. I think there will be another one next year and it will be my chance to get involved.  

If you're ready to waste your time pursuing low wages then yes there's money to be made in bounty hunting.
There's a lot of threads about this problem and you should really consider this before you begin. You will be a tool for devs who will scam you like those who started to require full KYC when the bounty was completed or they will abandon the project and you'll get nothing.

Waste of time, better start trading.

And when it goes below 3000 you'll sell everything in panic. Did I get it right?

Most people say they will buy at a very low price but if Bitcoin was to hit that 1000 or something next month there would be such a huge panic on the market that not many people would think about buying everybody would be selling out of fear and uncertainty.

I will buy when we go back below 6000 because this is a great opportunity. Going lower like below 3000 would be a disaster.
I'll probably start thinking about selling when we hit 20000 again in fear of the price bouncing back but if we break 20 I'll start buying again.

Really? Banks are going to stop Bitcoin? Please tell me how? The only thing a bank can do is not allow people to send money to exchanges and not receive money from exchanges. Both these things can be avoided. Even if they somehow manage to cut the flow of fiat money to exchanges people will trade using USDt or other cryptocurrencies.
Small countries will work with Bitcoin like Malta because it's worth it for them.

All the world will never go together against bitcoin because countries are rivals too.

I agree with you although we cannot be sure when the pump will happen only that it will. We all know now that governments aren't openly trying to stop bitcoin and even if they did they wouldn't succeed. The time for that was years ago when they were ignoring it and when they saw it as something big it was already too late because some countries legalized it and created safe tax havens for people to run to.

Bitcoin will be big. It can take 5 or even 10 years but it will happen.

People need to release frustration and happiness in some way. Forums are popular for this exact reason! When you had enough of watching the price fall you go to the forum and look for other people just like you to feel supported.

Price discussions will never end because it's relaxing and it's killing time. People were doing it 10 years ago when Bitcoin was worth 1 dollar and they will now.

The demand is the easy and most straightforward explanation but the real reason is there was a lot of money on the market in 2017 and 18 when people were investing in ICOs and now when those failed and so many altcoins have died people are looking for a something to weather the storm and that something is Bitcoin.

They can't pump it a lot because they lost so much money on ICOs that even if they sell now to buy bitcoin they're getting less than 10% of the money they had last year but this 10% is going to bitcoin not another new altcoin. They aren't going to be fooled twice.

If it is as you are saying when does one buy coins to dump them? Believe me crypto trading is much more than just holding and dumping.

There's a strategy for day trading and I've seen people do it. You can even find videos on youtube where people day trade in real time.

This is a way to ruin. I hope no sane people are accessing any private information in cybercafes. These places are meant for playing games or maybe occasionally printing something but not paying your bills sending money to someone or trading crypto.

A mobile phone costs a few dollars and it will serve as both a fiat and crypto wallet and a way to access your email. Don't have a PC? Buy a phone!

Bounty campaigns are an interesting case because they exploit people but these people keep on working. They're like that slave owner who makes his slave work hard and throws him some scraps but the slave is so miserable that he keeps on working.

Maybe bounty hunters got used to the situation and think this is how it's supposed to be? I keep on telling them in the altcoin section to ask payment in existing altcoin not some new worthless token. It's the same in India.

China banned financial institutions from exchanging Bitcoin. It's not banned in China! You can own it and trade it. You can also exchange it with other people but you can't start an exchange business there and there are no exchanges in China only in Hong Kong which has its own laws. It's the same in India.

In Saudi Arabia it's not banned at least according to some sources. They only issued a warning to banks. The EU central bank did the same and it's still legal in the EU.

No I don't wish that bitcoin was reversible. It teaches people responsibility. We are used to throwing money around and then demanding that people and companies pay us back.
In reality all money should be like cash. You give it to someone they can put it in their pocket and run away with it. You have to always remember about it.
The biggest weakness of this system is that people are careless and there will always be a group that gets burned.

Good for them. I like how they're paying people for watching ads. They have a great business model and are really better than mainstream browsers. I hope they will succeed.

With VPNs it's not that easy to be good. You need good servers to handle the traffic and competitive prices. Free VPNs are usually awful and good ones are expensive. Brave's business model is to be as cheap as possible and help people. I wonder how they'll do with this new feature.

Flash drives and sd cards should never be used as a primary backup. They get corrupt very easy. Like I had a flash drive that I had music on and had it in my car for a year. After a year in different weather, hot and cold but it wasn't damaged and had no contact with water, it started acting strange. Would skip tracks, jitter a lot. You could see it needs formatting.

If you have to use something don't use SSD too because it can't be recovered. Use a normal hard drive and best if it's a new one because it won't have any old data mixed.

You can still earn some money as a bounty hunter but rewards are much lower than they used to be. The market is slowly recovering from a bear season and this is a similar situation to 2016 with the difference that in 2016 people were making money mining and in 2017 it was more of a bounty season.

You never know what 2020 will bring but the crypto ecosystem is evolving and don't expect it to be anything like 2016 or 2017.

I still prefer not to spend my coins. There's inflationary and deflationary money. Inflationary money should be spent on goods that you need to use every day or goods that hold  value better than fiat. Deflationary money should be saved and spent for emergencies or treated like a retirement fund.

I would spend if there was a convenient way to do so but if I'm to buy a gift card or convert first I'll pass.

We know but this time he's offering us BTC instead of BCH. I'm not a picky person if he offers me a way to win BTC and play with my BTC I'll accept it regardless of who the owner is. Would you stop using your microsoft software if Bill Gates said BTC is a scam and a ponzi scheme? He's not very far from saying it.

I don't like Ver but as long as he's not trying to sell me BCH I'll check out his giveaways.

Nothing new. When you give away your private keys you give away all your rights to cryptocurrency. People are used to sending money here and there. They send it to banks and institutions and pay upfront. You have to forget all you have learned in the fiat world. This is crypto world!

Would you send money to a Nigerian prince or Indian IRS scammer? No? Then why would you send it to an anonymous Nigerian crypto bank that calls itself a wallet.
