Every day that you don't get in the market since we went sub 300 USD is taking a risk. The rally will happen when least expected, and if your orders aren't meet before that happens you'll regret for life.

I can LTC already dead since a big dump long time ago From about $50 become $1.3 only  Even BTC price from $12xx become $210 Bitcoin still used as currency unlike LTC LTC's pump was insane. I wouldn't count out LTC just yet tho... when BTC goes 1k+ again.. do you really think that LTC isn't going to follow with a pump as well? |

Gold is still the safe haven.. even if superior methods of storing wealth like BTC are being created, Gold is still psychologically a synonym for wealth, for something very valuable, which translates into the price. This is far from having intrinsic value, which it doesnt.

When did the "month" start counting from? since we get paid normally (on the non-avatar campaign) every Wednesday... since when did the posts for the avatar campaign start counting and when does the payment occur?

Because it is not 'user friendly' some people have never used a credit card, or they don't have any knowledge about internet or how to use a smartphone or pc. For the moment I think bitcoin needs a real killer app... and it should be more user friendly (most important it should keep the decentralization).
Exactly, user-friendlyness is an important problem to solve. PC-based and also web wallets are still very hard to use for non-techies. Smartphone wallets are on a good way, but can still be improved. And security is another issue - I would still not recommend BTC to people with standard Windows PCs. I think in the future we'll not even see addresses as we see them now. It's just not intuitive having to copy paste all those long ass alphanumerical strings. I think Andreas mentioned this in some speech. Bitcoin may change a lot in the following years from now, before it goes mainstream. you know that copy-pasted is not needed right? there is the adress book...you can simply choose the address by clicking on "choose previously used address", so this is a non-issue for adoption... it strange that it doesn't work if you put only the label, this should be fixed Using a different address each time is advised for privacy reasons. I also think in the future, the layout of how things are done will change. What's stopping mainstream adoption is basically the fact there aren't jobs paid in BTC. For the average ignorant Joe, it's not going to be on their plans to exchange their hard earned wage for some foreign internet currency. If you get the money directly in Bitcoin, you are more prone to get interested on it. For Bitcoin to become a legitimate currency, we need jobs that pay on it. |

that so bad, i still have some eur  I think this is bad for the economy in europe but this is good news for americans The value of USD is not actually increasing. So in reality, it is not good news for the Americans (check the gold price in USD, or silver price in USD, per ounce). In the past 3-4 months, gold has stayed at around $1,200 per oz. with hardly any movement. Gold is still solid as hell, that is what Bitcoin is happening. Bitcoin defeat's Gold in basically everything, except the fact it's too new and it's price, as a result, is a big rollercoaster. Once the price settles, Bitcoin will be the way to go for wealth storage. |

The micropayments market along with the gambling market is going to be huge in the future. It's so easy to implement in any game: Pay high scores in Bitcoin, a true value currency, for free.
Gambling is also easy to set up, and very fun and addicting if rightly executed.

What are you talking about? There is no single button someone can push to destroy the bitcoin network. The closest to it is a 51% attack, even then is it still possible to destroy the www with a button? No.
Actually 51% would not be enough. We've had situations of 51% before a couple times, nothing happened. You would need more than that for the attack to be feasible. |

I am pretty confident that most people in this thread, including OP, have panic sold already and have given their wealth to other people for the future. It's the beauty of wealth redistribution.

Greek will not adopt bitcoin. You have to work to earn bitcoin, it cannot be printed.
That is actually a very intelligent comment. The main problem would be how Greece would even adopt Bitcoin to begin with! I mean, they would have to get everyone to have a certain amount of BTC to get things going. I don't think this is feasible in any way, other than maybe the population deciding to only accept BTC. This is actually a global problem. Whenever I talk to people about Bitcoin they tell me "how to get them"? They can't fathom is just another currency, that it would be as stupid as saying, "how to get japanese yens"? or something like that. They aren't interested if its not free money. I think their reluctance of paying money for BTC is due to the relatively high risk still associated with holding BTC. If you are traveling to Japan you are also effectively only exchanging your local money for Japanese Yen! Those Yens also don't just grow on trees or are being magically converted from USD or EUR... People see BTC as an investment rather than a currency because of the promise of it's value skyrocketing in the future, which makes it more difficult to waste on frivolous stuff unlike fiats. |

Honestly these means nothing for Bitcoin and that may sound bad but it just doesn't.
In one way or another, it will bring a lot of media attention which can never be bad. Just look at the post below, new sites are starting to talk about it already. |

As long as Businesses would accept BTC the government would also follow through. Government can't stop the adoption of BTC, sooner or later they're going to realize the benefits that it can bring.
good point, I also think so The government regulates businesses. The most effective way to control Bitcoin is to regulate the businesses that accept it. In this way, they may not be able to stop it, but they can keep it out of the mainstream. Government can't stop bitcoin until theres so many using of it. Business using it or accept it because trading bitcoin is so easy and safe than the traditional trading system. So that government will forced to used it because if they not use it because the private business company will not cooperate with them because they not using bitcoin. Yes its true that goverment can't stop bitcoin but using this for business its ok but it doesnt mean that it is safe than traditional trading system. Traditional system is safe can we also can claim back what we lost but a new system we can't find the culprit who are get our bitcoin if missing or may be scammed. All of this things must have advantages and disadvantages, thats what make goverment still using trading system and still haven't apply this new kind of trading to our society. As Bitcoin becomes more mainstream and gets taken more seriously, serious trading platforms such as Gemini which will be fully regulated, will arise. Chargeback systems will be possible through serious escrows and storage of wealth will be possible through serious 3rd parties such as Xapo. Its true that nowadays bitcoin becomes more mainstream but the goverment still lack of idea of what are they suppose to do with this bitcoin. Yes and how are you going to tell government about escrows and xapo if they dont even care and still looking at the other ways to make their own currency better Lol, the government isn't trying to improve their currencies, otherwise they would stop printing out fiat like crazy. As for BTC, it will need severe regulations if you want to have for example, properties recognized at a institutional levels signed under smart contracts. |

Can anyone tell me who is going to be insane enough to try to trace back someone's coin that went after say, one or two exchange withdrawals plus a mixer? How are you supposed to effectively trace the origin back? too many variables.

it ain't money. however you can buy, sell, loan, rent, invest, legerage, bet, lose, be stolen, divide, or barter them or even trash them. making them a thing. if you broke them (send to an impossible address) they are gone. like a thing. And the states is defeated by the Machines, free they want to be, like us. Free from corrupt legalist, unable to follow the laws of physics and mathematics. Eternal Equations are backed by God. don't let them fool you. Welcome to bartertown.  Spain is the first state to declare it VAT free, which effectively renders it as a currency thereof, since the opposite would be applying VAT, which would turn it into goods. Because if it's not a currency, what it is? |

Songs are always a good way to connect to people, and its nice to see some people make songs about bitcoin. Are you planning on making more?
thank you! Not sure if I'll make more...any ideas? You need to hire some raper to make a video, but instead of wearing gold chains with huge $ signs you would give them chains with BTC logos on it. That would speed up mainstream adoption |

Hi, Er.. I just re-checked everything and found a huge error in which the rates was set.  Would it be okay for you to set a rate of 0.0004 BTC (which is still a very good rate. around 50% of the signature rate for a full member) for 50 posts and additional 0.01 BTC for every 50 posts till 150 posts?? I understand that the error was on my part. When I accidentally took the rates of an unsaved draft instead of the latest one.. Would you mind changing the rates? Do anyone object to the new rates? Please let me know. Thanks, ndnhc So how is this going to work then? Im really bad at math. Let's see, I thought the avatar campaign was exactly the same as signature campaign, just with a bonus, but from what I understand now, you get paid monthly and not weekly? can you state how much you make per post then? I thought It was a bonus, like if you make 150 post at Full Member, you would normally get 0.0009x150=0.135, but with the extra 0.08 you would end up with a decent 0.215 which seems tolerable compared to the peanuts the other campaigns are paying for such amount of posting (specially at today's very low BTC price). Is this correct? Let me know what the final method will be to keep track of it because im just bad at maths. |

Name: thejaytiesto Post count (including this one): 606 Bitcoin Address: 19LzHygeEKDdvF49HoQUGUJScomawma9n4 Profile link or UID: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=381086I see the rules and avatars are changed. So now it's fixed extra payment depending on if you do 50, 100 or 150 (or 175 if legendary and staff) and not a 10% bonus based on your total postcount if I got it right. |

Some newbie accounts want more posts, it's easy to post "it's dead" and gain more
Yeah, all these FUDsters get tons of replies easier, which leands to quoting and replying even more. They probably want to sell those accounts later on when BTC is sky high. |

I ask myself what would happen to them if they go back to Greece and for the next 4 months start just spending that money and fulfilling their campaign promises, delaying sell-off of ports, pantheon and so on.

If I wanted to double my BTC stack right now, without a shadow of a doubt I would buy at market price right now all MAID possible and wait a month or two. Im pretty sure the price is going to at least, double from the current 10K. MAID is the only big project worth investing at, it's insanely undervalued as we speak. And even after doubling it, I doubt i'll sell. It should go to 100K at least, for me to consider selling.
