There's no general reason why we must use bitcoin, because it is a subjective word and would only agree on our own accord. However, using bitcoin has it's own advantages like what you said, it's easier to get them without having to buy them first hand. Plus, bitcoin is a better money transfer than most money transfer outlets/services simply because of the fees and the time(? debatable) it takes.

I use mine to fund my Steam account and buy miners with bitcoins because obviously, miners would have to accept bitcoin payments.
I don't generally use my bitcoin to buy stuff online directly. I usually convert them to usd first before I buy anything just so I know how much exactly I pay for the item/s.

Yes, there are like bunch of things you can do here, from getting to know about what bitcoin is, having more information about bitcoin and everything that deals with it to applying for an online job, hiring somebody and especially having updated news everyday. And since I knew about this forum, I rarely search for bitcoin’s information somewhere else excepts here.

You need to understand there are a lot of legitimate ways of doubling bitcoins other than ponzi schemes/sites. Here people are discussing about their way of doubling bitcoins in whatever time duration they are needing. It is highly possible because based on the nature of your business/profits you might double your bitcoins at any time, some people may do it in a week and some other people in six months.

Bitcoin certainly affected my life, well for good, I guess. Instead of using my free time slacking off and playing games like before, now I would rather learn about bitcoins and do sig camps to profit from my spare time and I've become less addicted to games which kinda helps me in my studies now.

The very first step is to recognize and accept the fact that you have a problem with gambling, and that is addiction. Having to accept that fact at the very first step is the most crucial since this is where you'll either want to stop it yourself and if you can't, you can get external help from either friends or relatives.

If still that doesn't work, rehab centers exist for that very reason, as well as psychologists so don't be afraid to want to improve yourself.

I think it depends on how many people are there in the country and how many of them are using bitcoin and are aware of bitcoin and also how popular bitcoin is in that country so it’s hard to compare between countries and countries in the number of bitcoin users, but one thing I know for sure that bitcoin hasn’t drawn much attention in my place and as a result, not many people in my area know about bitcoin and it seems to be that they don’t really have any interests in it.

We don’t have those coffee shops that accept bitcoin as well as bitcoin ATMs locate in every corners like other countries  so it’s gonna be a stepping stone for bitcoin here to be like in the US.

I knew about bitcoin when it was around 2010 when I was just messing around the darknet and I didn't really care about it that time since I didn't care to know about it. I only found out about it back in 2014 and to my surprise, the value is a lot higher than what it was then.

I don't really regret not joining in back in 2010 because I really didn't give a damn that time, but atleast I'm glad I joined in then and made good profits now.

I have used them both and fortunately, my anxiety has saved me from losing my coins because everytime I'm done using the exchangers, I would transfer my coins to my Xapo wallet (since they aren't really that much all the time). I'm feel bad for those who have lost their coins to them, but I feel like this should be a good lesson for them, although they paid quite a hefty price for it.

Almost 60% of users here gamble with bitcoins at least. I think gambling has been made fluent with bitcoins because we do not have to wait for deposits with bank to credit to balance and then wait for the withdrawal.
Anyhow I gamble but very few times, mostly I use it for buying and exchanging alt-coins and sometimes hold for price increase.

A loaning business will work if you know how to set the right rules and to ask for the proper collateral.
And one thing to consider is to never always accept emotional appeals because most of the time, they are only social engineering. There's only a few successful loaning business that exists because of this.

Past is past and what's done is done. There's really no 'worst' mistake that can be done since it's only a subjective personal experience of what will be considered the 'worst'. Everything can happen, and will happen. We can't really always avoid that but what we can do however is accept it head on and be over with it.

Well, I understand those who cannot buy bitcoins because they can't afford to do so. There are actually quite a lot of bitcoiners here that do not have any stable-paying jobs or are still students who do not have a lot of time to have part time jobs. They only rely on bitcoins that they earn from whatever they do like trading, gambling, sig camps, etc.

That should have been obvious enough, considering the highest price reached by bitcoin is only at $1150, and the current value now is only about a third of that.
I disagree calling people asinine if they think btc is very profitable, simply because it is. It's not our fault if people actually lost money from it, isn't it? You just have to play the game in a smart way. BTC has it's risk so it's only natural that some people lose.

You are absolutely right, both fiat and crypto coins have their own advantages in their own world. We can not live without fiat money as we use it everyday and everywhere to keep us alive and it has become a major and important part of our life.

However, cryptocurrencies have a lot of uses and the potential of these kind of money is pretty high so it has become more and more popular and to some people, it’s their main income.

With me exactly opposite. No plans at all when I go to gamble, just deposit some money and when I feel I have lost some money I try to deposit more and recover the lost amount. Not that I cannot control myself but I feel too much for gambling lol and hence often give big losses while sometimes make fine profits.

I think professional or hardcore gamblers loose too. The only difference though I think is that they know how to control themselves and recover the loss. But the problem is if gambling was profitable and at least there was one gambler who was making profit where is he ? I never seen anyone saying he wins in long term !

Yes I am also not believing in my luck to continue my gambling activity with my winning amounts. But usually I wish to subscribe to a better and proven tipster service for my sport betting. I have not win big amounts from gambling, but if I win then I will go for any reputed sport tipster to continue my winning  streak for a better stay with gambling.

Okay haha that video cracked me up. Thanks a lot for sharing that one.
Eth is not even comparable to Bitcoin in so many terms. I never consider ETH as a big competitor to bitcoin system in any means. Now I really want to shout out "f**k! bitcoin is the sole leader as always and for ever".

It would be nice for the bitcoin network if the coins are actively circulating since it affects the active supply of bitcoins. More active supply means more chances for big investors to join in the game.

I personally prefer bitcoin as both, however. 50-50 on both saving and using as currency even though I am deliberately preferring to save more bitcoins for my future use.
