Prevention ie better than cure. You dont have to necessarily have to rember it you could copy and paste into a textfile and keep it hidden or encrypt it using some zip file softwares
Just emembering passphrases is very bad especially when their 25-60 characters long, it's bad for you cause you might forget it that is why you should have some back up solutions.

Looks like you have send you BTC at the right time when there were just few unconfirmed transaction and bitcoin network wasn't that busy.
Im guessing those days we're weekends of holidays or i guess those horror stories were just meant to scare as of, basically a hoax.

It depends upon you if you have some skills to offer, you could provide those services to your clients and get paid via bitcoin
Before leaving your job do some research or preparation first. You could try to learn trading or joining some sig campaign to know where you can earn better or you could do both.
Once you have an stable income and earning a good amount of money, you're ready to leave your job.

I think in year 2016 it was around $700-$800.
As long as the users maintain their trust to this digital currency in many coming years especially those who invested big amounts of money the price will surely reach what we hope for, it might happen sooner if we could just figure out how to solve the bitcoin scaling.

Because it has a great price value in the market and most of all it is not an centralized currency like dollars that is controlled by a corrupted goverment and that is controlled by bankers.
You can send and receive without giving away your personal info, so basically you can use it however you want.

I think there is no problem with zero's it just hard to pronounce it sometimes
when you're having an discussion with someone.
But over all the computation is easy and sometimes you can use some web application's to calculate you bitcoins to make your life lot easier.

This has plenty of marketeers that sell digital goods for example coupons,games,domain site, vps and you even buy some stuffs like clothes, shoes, gadgets, cigarettes.
There are a lot of altenatives here where you can buy what you're lookin for.

Bitcoin as an crypto currency has some features that the users like for example it's decentralized and anonymous feature, you can send money to your client, friend or family without typing to much personal information and it has no rules and regulations in order to send or receive payments.
This why some countries doesn't want to legalize it as a mainstream payment.

It's true what he said before but is was the past, bitcoin has far more innovated and more users have put big amount of investment in this digital currency and in case you haven't notice this curency has matured from volatility because people has faith in it.
Some countries has started to adopt it and the recent legalization in japan this shows that bitcoin will reach a great price value in the future.

Usually it is free to deposit but withdrawing has a fee in most sites, i think for withdrawing it's good to charge just 1-2% withdrawal fee.
But for every transaction made in exchanging usually they take 1-5% fee enough to cover their expenses.

Well it all depends on you, if you really want to make money real quick you should sell it but if you want to earn more you should probably just wait for now.
There are many speculation that the bitcoin price will reach $5000 this year so patience is virtue.

I would like to buy the following using bitcoins.
-clothes
-games online/rpg kind of games
-gadgets
-shoes
-vape

I hope it has world wide free shipping.

That would be amazing if bitcoin price surges to $3000 in just an hour, i think allowing bitcoin to sell when it reaches to that price will be profitable for them if they take a fee for every single trade made and they even might will also increase their withdrawal fees.
if it happens i could just store bitcoin in an wallet and let it increase.

Many had claimed to be satoshi nakamoto including Craig but none of them has really the qualities of being satoshi nakamoto because they lack the understanding in programming and we all know that satoshi nakamoto is a great coder who created bitcoin.
Satoshi is an anonymous entity so why would he reveal himself ?

It must be Japan acceptance of bitcoin as payment a method
in good and services and other big businesses there are testing it.

And the other cause maybe is Bitfinex setting everything higher because users is increasing the value on their exchange due to the recent hack but sometimes  just because something is going high it doesn't mean it wll go down, we'll see after a few weeks.

Did you contact support about your account?
Check your email if someone has logged in with your account if it does change your password, clean your pc with an reformat.
It seems like someone is using your account or just an bug from the site itself, contact support for further clarifications.

I highly recommend trading it has a chance to double or to triple your bitcoins and i highly doubt that cloud mining/investing is profitable
you will not receive any ROI in those cloud minings and lose your money instead but trading through localbitcoins or some altcoins is a good way to earn some amount of money you can even make it a living.

lol the title is misleading the topic is not related to cryto currencies it's just an image of bitcointalk having some kind of error.
But i think altcoins nowadays are doing just fine their price value is even soaring up especially ETH, dash, Doge, i guess this is because of bitcoin scaling.

My god that's just bad to worse man, even though ive lost lots of bitcoin in the past yours is just way to big amount especially when bitcoin's price is soaring up and also altcoins.
You should have written your passphrase down or copy paste it in a textfile and hid it away that no one will find. What kind of passphrase is that. ? is it from an online wallet provider or it's just stored in your pc?

If it's an online wallet like coinbase you could try the "Forgotten password function"

I want to own 1 bitcoin but i just can't because it's just to hard for the poor to buy 1 bitcoin especially when the internet is full of scams.
My experience with bitcoin is i got scammed many many times so that's why it's to hard for me to earn 1 bitcoin.
