People kept saying yes bitcoin is a very great wedding gift but in reality unless the couple is familiar with bitcoin, they probably won't appreciate it.

wedding gifts are often use to help couples start their new life but if giving bitcoin will probably just help them to start a new investment or something.

if you insist on giving bitcoin as a gift. you should throughly explain to them first what bitcoin really is of course without them knowing your actual intention

well if that happens then we can be able to see a real competition between bitcoin and some cryptocurrency. but in reality it'll take a great effort and time to be able

to pull something like that moreover these effort and time doesn't guarantee anything, even if you spend countless months it doesn't mean success is already

guaranteed. to be honest there are already some cryptocoins who has a better features although not completely. i also agree to the others, discussing this doesn't

really mean much as its already impossible to predict something that will happen in the long future

Investing through the money that you earned on jobs or whatever it is is an ideal way for people who doesn't have much money to offer but can offer some services.

in fact thats what i'm doing right now, technically theres nothing much to lose since my capital here is effort and time. but if op has the money then he should just buy

because the price fluctuates greatly, wait for the dump and buy.

the mainstream you're talking about is different from the op. you're talking about popularity and dominance of bitcoin among cryptocurrencies only but whats on the

op is its popularity as well as acceptance over countries. mainstream means dominant trend. yes in terms of cryptocoins it is mainstream but not in general-- i mean if it

is then most people that you know must also know it. back to the question, if its a remote chance, yes there is, i mean theres no guarantee on this field right?

if they're aiming to keep their bitcoins so its overall value will increase, wouldn't it be better to also value fiat as much as bitcoin? i mean if you keep using fiat for all your daily

expenses then the overall amount of bitcoins you have will be kept, more holdings more profit.  on the contrary using bitcoin everytime results the opposite.  preferring

something in this situation is not really necessary as you can both take advantage of them

yah. wheres your country op. i think if you add your country name to your search you might get results since country-exclusive services are getting popular right now.

in fact there are already many of them. just don't forget to search for reviews after you found one or just come back here to ask

well there will be always a competition in anything. even if your idea has potentials, in the end its always the successful ones that matters. if you really have some
good idea right there, just like what the guy somewhere above have said, make a project proposal of it because it is the formal way. imagine if you just blurted out
random idead without planning, they'll have the impression that you're crazy. now what i'm suggesting it post your project proposal on kickstarter. its a popular
funding platform so in short you're convincing random people to fund your project so it must be well planned. not necessarilly but hiring some expert might be
a good idea like for graphic designs. the downside is yes since everyone can see it, they can steal it so the trick is once its fully funded make sure to work fast
because the stealers are also fast and make something in your project something unique

yes there are other sites like upwork and fiverr where you can work as a freelancer but sadly they only pay through paypal or banks so if you don't have that or don't want that

you can switch to bitcoin using this forum but yes the in demand type of works is also limited so there might be a slight more competition here than the others. well there are

also bitcoin only site where you can use to freelance like r/jobs4bitcoin (reddit) and xbtfreelancer. if you're a graphic designer/programmer/deeveloper, much better if you have

your portfolio. and as always if you're a freelancer, use as many sites as you can

I haven't had a single problem about polo so far but just like you i always see people complaining about polo  which is kinda persuades me not to put a large amount of bitcoin

to trade in there moreover it is said that their verification takes too much time. they really should increase their support staff and replace the incompetent with competent/

capable ones. its such a waste that they have such large volumes but with poor service. the site is also laggy on some low end devices/laptops unlike bittrex who's not.

Thats why it depends on peoples situations. some have decent extra money and don't have one. if you find yourself in a situation where you can't buy bitcoin because your

income is only fitted for your expenses. what you have to do instead of dividing your salary. you will have to divide your time to earn bitcoins. i see that you're a part

of some signature campaign. since your income is enough for your expenses. you can easily save some of your income here.

Care to explain why do large amounts of capital will not work on low market-cap coins? based on your statement you are trying to move the market but when you have

a huge amount of capital, you can become a whale easily because it is has a low market cap e.g. $3000 market cap so you'll become a whale if your capitall is $800+

bottomline is huge capitals are more suited but yes the huge amount varies per market cap

i know that not all ICO are scam or shitcoin but most of them are so there will be a huge risk if op will try to invest on those moreover it seems like op is a newbie.

so there is a high possibility that he will choose the wrong coin because scamcoin overpowers the serious one in numbers. now back to the question, i also agree to others

that op shouldn't go all in 1 coin if he plans to go to altcoins because i think its worth it to just keep you 1 btc. yah in other words invest on bitcoin itself.

damn straight. i don't get why do people keeps complaining that its tiring when all their hard work are paid off? or maybe its just one of those sick habits of people these days

where they want to earn without struggling too much. there is no easy money you have to work hard for everything. well if you're not gaining profits but you worked hard maybe

something was wrong so make your strategy more different than usual.

1. I don't buy bitcoin, i earn it

2. Poloniex and bittrex only as of now

3. i haven't done trading altcoin to altcoin, i always do altcoin to btc or vice versa so yes i inevitably converting it to btc but with a higher amount because i profited right?

4.No i don't convert my btc to some local currency when withdrawing. if i'm gonna sell it for my local currency is usually wait for a pump

it depends on what service you use but in my case what i use is kinda cheap and the miner fees are just $1

Nah, for me i don't recommend yobit to anyone particularly to newbies as it have too many shitcoins with a very low volume and yes too high fees also.

to be honest bittrex or poloniex are good for op, yes they have various ways and levels of verification but op only wants to trade for a hobby so small amounts

ranging from $25 - $100 is his target, its perfect for the tier one account on bittrex or polo. and yes op no verification will be done on tier one. You maybe asked

for your email but you can just make a dummy one. you maybe asked for your phone number but its not like they will know your identity. you maybe asked

for your full name but as always you can just fake it.

What are you guys talking about? you mean if you're having having fun? then you're not enjoying it? lol. Come and read the dictionary, enjoyment is in the definition of fun and

on enjoy there is fun on its synonyms section. they're basically the same in this situation. fun is a state of receiving pleasure on something but it doesn't necessarily mean that all

through out will be happy times and no shit part of course it doesn't also mean that you're not serious. for example in my case i'm enjoying trading  because i consider

cryptocurrencies as an innovation and taking part on it  earlier than most people is great moreover i'm earning money

some might say that you're bad for disobeying your parents but i also think that theres always a limitation on how much you can obey. i think op is just a teen like me so my advice

is making your own decisions is part of growing up so don't be afraid, our parents are there to only guide us so talk to them. but first plan the whole approach thing. i also think that

a proper explanation will work on this. if bitcoin is legalized in your country you might start with that but if not start with the basic concept of money where all kind can be used for

illegal activities and from that explain why the money used is not to blame but the people who did

i agree, the fact that it increases always doesn't mean it'll always be in the future. i also believe in the saying that some things will certainly come to its end although

based from what i'm seeing the trick on staying in demand as much much as possible is to adapt or should we call it innovation? particularly in the field of technology

if you fail to bring significant change in this changing world you'll probably lose because the competition is no joke.

All statements you've said make sense but yes that is if bitcoin become as popular and accepted like mastercard or visa-- i know they're both completely different but i'm talking

about the popularity and acceptance because paypal is mostly good for online usage but both of them are popular on both sides. now back to the question i haven't used it as i

have never travelled outside my country lol but it'll be difficult to use it directly now because of the limited merchants

i don't think think having a big country or developed country has any significant connection regarding peoples awareness, acceptance and understanding about bitcoin.

i mean having a big city or a developed one doesn't the people who lived their are knowledgeable about technologies and open minded as well. if that is true then those big

countries would have accepted bitcoin like japan did.
