OP has to make use of his post history to give his statement credibility. If this is an indicator at best it states the opposite OP wants us to believe.

Yeah, that's so funny.  His very first post and last one are exactly the same. 
You can always find someone in your history that you predicted and became true, that means nothing. I would understand if OP said, "get the fuck out temporarily" because we may as well go even lower than we are, and for a long time be stuck on there, but saying "get the fuck out forever Bitcoin is Dead" is just a brainless claim.

Just stay away from fiats, keep it all on metal, stocks (very few) and Bitcoin. All of the fiat you need just keep it on your local fiat, thats what I would personally do.

You can't ask people to stay away from fiat. With this fiat we use it to buy bitcoin. If you didnt have any fiat how can you invest in bitcoin? How can you do things? You need some like may be 20%-30% fiat then the rest you can use for invest or whatever do you want to do
And thats why we need serious jobs being paid with BTC. We can't live off the peanuts that you get with a signature campaing, but the thing is I cant think of any other "job" that pays in BTC unless you are running your own business accepting BTC.
Unless we get serious on that area, BTC will always depend on fiat.

Not a Communist, but since 1974, this looked like the 1st time, regular people wld have representation. Then the old boys explain to the new boys, they have no choice but to go along because it is their job to SAVE THE WORLD. The old boys will continue to do what they do best: DENY, DELUDE & DELAY. Meanwhile GR will continue to sink into an abyss.
You don't need to be a communist with taxing on the mega rich, it's just common sense. If someone has 500 million his bank account, his life quality is going to be exactly with same with 400, or even with 250. It's a joke that you are condemned to wageslaving while they could help a lot into making lifes less stressed without noticing any stress themselves.
3364  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is the minimum price of Bitcoin? on: May 06, 2015, 05:22:36 PM
Theoretically, zero is indeed the minimum. Realistically, it's far from zero, it will never go to zero again, for obvious reasons. The question is, whats the lowest it can get, realistically? well, nobody can know. What I think is 200-ish is really low in 2015, and a great opportunity to stack up.
3365  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does great wealth equal great responsibility? on: May 06, 2015, 05:15:26 PM
Facebook's IPO alone created a thousand millionaires.
http://www.businessinsider.com/facebooks-ipo-will-create-1000-millionaires-2011-12

If bitcoin becomes even a small global currency, it will make Facebook's IPO look like small potatoes. But you'll likely need to own 100-300+ bitcoin to really change your life. If you have 5 bitcoin and bitcoin goes to 20,000, that's good, but it's not going to change your life. You can get a new kitchen or you pay off your student loans early. Great.

Despite the famous stories, I don't think bitcoin has created more than 1000 millionaires in its entire lifetime. People are just too tempted to cash out after 1 or 2 doublings OR they held on for  far too long.

The problem is getting 100 BTC before the rally happens. If it stays at this low price for a couple years then it's doable, but imagine it goes up while you are trying to stack up... it basically becomes mission impossible if it goes higher, so I hope we have a low price for a couple years so we can make decent amounts of BTC meanwhile.

Has Gobble addressed the current price at all? He seems pretty quiet about Litecoin lately, not only that, but the official reddit is literally dead, no one hanging out on there anymore it seems.
3367  Economy / Economics / Re: nice press on bitcoin in argentina today on: May 06, 2015, 04:44:53 PM
Lol, it seems the Argentinian government is severely butthurt because a big news site reported the fact Bitcoin is getting used on their country to bypass their national currency scam. Serves them well and all that retweet does is help spreading the BTC fame.
3368  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Be Honest. We Are Waiting for $100/BTC to buy on: May 06, 2015, 04:40:36 PM
Not everyone is waiting for 100, only retards trying to find a perfect price. If you haven't been buying since 300's monthly then just lol. Have fun being caught at a rally while you sleep because you tried to find that perfect price that never arrived.
3369  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin dead? on: May 06, 2015, 04:39:14 PM
Until there's a real case use for Btc in the world it won't rise i guess.. and the strenght of king dolla doesn't help. It's retracing now so we will see
There are tons of case uses for BTC right now. Opening a business, sending money overseas without fees, cashing out off ATM's without a bank account 24/7, and of course a great way to store wealth outside the system. Of course we need a better approach for average joes and whatnot.
3370  Economy / Economics / Re: Play of the Century on: May 04, 2015, 04:34:33 PM
I have learned the lesson to not hold any altcoin as soon as I get like 10% profits. Only a few alts are worth having in your portfolio long term. My current ones for that are MAID, STORJ and XMR.
3371  Economy / Economics / Re: The banks should be repealed on: May 04, 2015, 04:23:53 PM
Again Bill Still:

"It doesn't matter what backs your money. All that matters is who controls its quantity. Will it be your elected officials or will it be some unelected banker?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7qIhDdST27g#t=1588
This Bill Still quote is on point, and that's what makes BTC the ultimate money system that will inevitably take over the entire world: No one can ever control it's quantity (total supply).
3372  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin actually ready to go mainstream? on: May 04, 2015, 04:21:39 PM
Im actually hopping that it gets delayed as much as possible. We the people that are already within the crypto ecosystem can only but benefit from it being as delayed as possible, who wants to have a lot of people coming in right now? We can benefit from this low price for at least an entire year or more, which im ok with.
3373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: NON EXISTANT BTC TRANSACTION on: May 04, 2015, 04:19:00 PM
How btc transaction can be shown in block explorer when it never came in to the wallet?Huh??
Wallets sometimes take time to sync in with the blockchain, it's normal if it doesn't show up automatically, you have to wait and it will eventually show up, specially if you are using something like Bitcoin-Core.
3374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi: "You should never delete a wallet" on: May 04, 2015, 04:10:52 PM
Leaving conspiracy theories out of the question, this is really sound advice. I have never deleted a wallet myself, always make a copy. I've got like 10 wallet.dat files that I always copy when I update my QT.
3375  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price continue downtrend, New Low in Q2 2015 on: May 02, 2015, 03:18:08 PM
In other news: Bitcoin went through a bubble cycle just like every other new exciting, promising technology since people have problems giving it a proper value. The next bubble cycle will start soon and OP will not be here by then (he will, under another alt account not used to FUD in hopes to get the price low to buy more BTC before the next bubble cycle).
3376  Economy / Economics / Re: Buy now or wait ? $41,000 to invest in bitcoins and litecoins on: May 02, 2015, 03:15:31 PM
I invest in litecoin because when bitcoin hits a bubble phase litecoin goes up about 3 - 5 times more on price.  Im not sure how good it is as a hedge but if the gov messed up bitcoin maybe it would be.

Litecoin is not always like that. Altcoin is very hard to predict when will it be high or not. So I suggest you better not invest in any altcoin better for you is bitcoin altough the price is volatile but it still have a chance to rise more than altcoin

Litecoin will always be special, will always be "the original alt", so never count it off for huge future pumps once BTC goes were it belongs (aka moon). Im pretty sure Litecoin will feel that second crypto rush when it happens again. The outcome is uncertain tho, I would go back to BTC as soon as i get decent gains.
The OP is a prime example of what happens when someone is new to crypto and they have a certain amount of money to spend/invest. Even more true when a bull market starts. The price of Bitcoin looks high so the next best thing is to get the silver crypto so one can purchase so many more of them. This is why litecoin typically makes big moves during a bull market in Bitcoin. Most new folks think crypto is crypto so buying one is the same as another outside of the pricing.
Yeah, totally, that is the thing, they see it as silver, Litecoin got that fame and nobody can take it from it, so I would never count it as just another dead alt, it will always be that special alt, so we never know. When the time comes, I still say a pump of LTC will happen along with the next BTC mega ATH+ bubble.
3377  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to turn 2BTC into 4BTC on: May 02, 2015, 03:13:10 PM
Stop suggesting people to gamble in order to double their coins. That's just a horrible advice. You'll always lose in the long run.

Nothing beats Bitcoin trading if you have patience. Buying low and selling high will be the safest way, especially if you understand how markets work.

the trading hides always a bit of gambling inside it, you can't now for sure what is the low and what is the high, also i think it's better to sell first and then buy, because in the worst case you gained something at least
It's a safer gamble than actual gambling, but less fun tho.
Most altcoins are just a straight gamble, it's a waiting for the pump game, and you may miss it and end up with useless dead coins. I learned the hard way, I have in my portfolio at least 10 dead coins that nobody would buy nowadays even for 1 satoshi.
3378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather vs Pacquiao - Who are you taking? on: May 02, 2015, 03:11:32 PM
Anyone betting on this fight? Biggest boxing match ever is only a month away.

Don't see lines up on Nitro yet.

Directbet Odds:
Floyd Mayweather Jr @ -188.7
Manny Pacquiao @ +196

BTCBook.eu Odds:
Floyd Mayweather Jr - 200
Manny Pacquaio + 170

Post odds here if you find them at any other site.

I was considering putting a decent amount of money into this but I just don't see it clear at all. I feel tempted to bet against Mayweather since if you think about it, contrary to popular beliefs the odds are against him. He wasn't lost a single fight... statistically he is closer to lose than he is to win.
3379  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "What Bitcoin Won't Buy" by Zig Ziglar on: May 02, 2015, 03:10:04 PM
Maybe OP changed it when I posted.  Should have quoted it.
A mod could likely see the links before the edit. Those are defitinitely normal youtube links.
There should be a way for mods to put a blacklist for dodgy links so they get automatically censored or something, lots of links to dodgy shit lately. Those fuckers really want to get that free BTC off the unwary wallets.
3380  Other / Off-topic / Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..." on: May 02, 2015, 03:08:20 PM
I would sell all my Bitcoins if the value of that Bitcoins is as equal to Buying a Ferrari Car. So my bitcoins should give me that return on investment that i can afford to buy a ferrari .. and if its yes..i would surely sell all my bitcoins and enjoy the drive Cheesy
That high bitcoin price won't happen during your lifetime. Enjoy your lost time spent on waiting for this. There is much higher possibility that bitcoin will reach $100 that $1000 in next 5 years.

And if bitcoin will reach price below $100 I will sell everything and never again touch any cryptocurrency.

No lol, thats what everyone said when BTC was 1 USD. "You can spend a lifetime waiting for a zero, but 10 will never happen". Thats an actual quote from 2010 or so. The thing is, we don't know and that 1K ATH may look like a little peak in 5 years.
