No one knows for sure, its pure speculation but we all or at least the majority of the users of this forum thinks the price will go up. If you have been careful to follow bitcoin price trend during last few days you would have notice that its price is already spiked quite a lot, lets hope we are all right and bitcoin price will go further up right after the halving takes place.

I am using Electrum desktop wallet and it has an automatic feature it already chooses the best dynamic fee for the transaction I am sending, usually the time of 1 confirmation for me by using this wallet is 10-30 minutes maximum, same with Multibit, but I think web wallets should be a problem in this regard, I know XAPO pay their users fee so XAPO transactions take longer, same should be with blockchain.info. Anyway if you stick to Electrum for example you will have relatively very fast transactions in 10-30 minute time 99.99% of the time.

As I have already said before several other times, bitcoin is heavily dependent on the deep web and dark web which both are accessible with TOR browser, there it exist anything you can think of, the worst of the creatures abide there and they do trade together, usually the main currency is bitcoin. In the beginning all the transactions were done in deep web, then after some time, curiosity started to spread and google and many other media started publishing articles about bitcoin, and this is how bitcoin is spread to the world. And of course now this forum does the best and implies all of the fields bitcoin related, for any question you may have, here you will find an answer in 99.99% of the cases.

Cloud mining is not profitable at the moment, well maybe a bit more of a reward in legit cloud mine websites like Hashnest, but still you will not make ROI and you will not pay your debt.
What you can do is start solving captchas in your free time at megatypers and they will pay you in bitcoin once you rich 1.5 USD, reachable very soon if you are a fast typer.
Another thing to consider is raising this account of yours, after 3.5 or 4 months you will be a full member and can join a signature campaign to earn a bit of side money in bitcoin too.

I recently bumped in this website called Exclusive-news.org and it pays you in USD or bitcoin for just reading news or posting news, it looked not so legit to me in the first place, so I only make 1 USD for 10 minutes and waiting for the payment in the end of the month when they say they will pay. Don't want to work for nothing and in the end getting nothing if they are scam.

What do expert thinks, legit or scam?

Online wallet is never safe as you are relying on third party to make your bitcoin transactions and to hold your bitcoins for you. They can be hacked any day, their database and your private keys gone even if you have your computer with top security. Second best are desktop wallets like Electrum in which private keys are stored on your PC and you are in charge. Ultimate security is a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger.
Stay clear of online wallets.

I think members of secondstrade signature do not need  to worry at all of campaign rates being adjusted, since secondstrade is always a pioneer in lowering rates when bitcoin prices go up, but they never care to raise their rates when bitcoin price goes down. I guess they are "the only smart persons here and all of us others are the stupid ones" by their mentality, a communist one if you ask me.

I know quite a few persons , friends of mine from India who have undergone this way, well they are students so far , I have them friends on social media and I know them because they are my refs in different ventures online (not ponzi or HYIP scams) . They tell me since its very difficult to find a job in India even after you finish your studies, they have started to use forum signature, captcha solving, and faucets as a meaning to make some income, in some cases this income passes monthly the majority of the daily jobs there, so yes bitcoin can be your primary objective in poor countries.
As for in EU no one will quit their daily job to focus fully on bitcoin yet.

Many use bitcoin for just some easy sideline money, but there are also several persons who sees bitcoin as the perfect opportunity of a big investment which banks in their countries cannot fulfill, of course this is very risky , but also very rewarding in cases like nowadays when prices hit a big surge and you make profit. Initially I thought to keep all of my savings in bitcoin but then I changed idea, I use bitcoin almost everyday in different online ventures.

I hate my job and still not looking to go full time with bitcoin, I know in Italy is very difficult to find a new job now in this time of crisis in the Euro especially with the Brexit looming and many being in favor of Britain to leave EU, that will further highlight that EU was not a good decision at all and countries like mine and many others only suffered by joining the EU, when before we were a rich country. Still in this phase is a total disaster to go full time in bitcoin and quit your job as not many opportunities to earn that much of bitcoin to replace your daily job at least in EU, if you live in India or other poor country you can give it a try .

I used to spend actively until the price was 500, since it has risen quite significantly I am holding the coins, who knows maybe I sell to someone as cash is always nice to have in your card. I am waiting patiently for that day when we can sell bitcoin to the banks and God how will I love when that day will come to sell the coins to the bank at a much higher price.

It has been draw in the last game this 2 teams played, but I think tonight will be different, Germany will nail a win an advance to the next phase of the Championship as leader of the group, Poland merely beat Ireland 1-0 in the first game so I don't think Germany will have any problem to beat Poland tonight. But as we have seen before a lot of surprises have already happened in this Euro 2016 so far. So there's nothing as a safe bet for the moment.

Especially at this time when the price is 750 USD per bitcoin ,it has changed my life for the better, I am in a day job, but I can't save a lot of money from it, actually save very little, bitcoin I have kept it in my wallet from quite some time now, I have bought a new good corei5 4Gen desktop without spending money from my daily job which I need for a living. Bitcoin although a bit of sideline money can help all of us to have a better life, especially those third world countries, there bitcoin truly makes a difference. I voted for Yes ,very much so.

Germany is the team which any other team should fear, they play simple yet very effective football and I have to go long way in the past to find a match from the German without them scoring, I would go for an over 2.5 goals today ,as both teams play openly , but since watching many Euro 2016 games , the majority of under 2.5 goals, a safe bet would be Germany Money Lines.

Everything OK now, thanks Yobit the best signature campaign for me, best because of daily payments.

Anyone else having the problem of posts not being counted today or it is just me, I only see 1 post today and more than 4 hours have passed.

Don't add another word you said it yourself, they just use cloud mining to attract newbies who have no clue of how mining works, in reality they are only a big bitcoin pyramid scheme which unfortunately will make many many victims when they run away because they are online since January 2015, and the more online a website like this stays, the more victims it makes when it will run with people money. Stay away, cloud mining even the legit one are not profitable although with the bitcoin price rise, their reward daily has increased a bit, still they are not profitable. We should wait for S9 new antminers and only then we can give a try to Hashnest which is the most legit cloud mining site.

For me bitcoin is much better than gold, it can easily be stored on your PC or on a small hardware wallet(cannot be stolen from hardware wallet) , gold can be stolen (very slim chances though but can be stolen) .
Bitcoin is rising dramatically in price and maybe even bypass gold in price after the halving occurs (who knows ,speculation only). Bitcoin is easier to sell then gold and no one will know your identity (if you know how to sell it not in an exchange which asks you documents). Bitcoin is part of the internet which is also part of my life and gold is not, so Bitcoin means much more than gold to me. In the end it is pure user choice, I will choose bitcoin anytime against gold and never regret doing such thing.

Signature campaign being a legendary member and being on coinsbank/bitx signature campaign in a third world country, if you truly commits to posting and reach every week maximum amount of posts without spamming (easier to say rather than to do) then you earn about 300 or more USD per month with the current bitcoin price, so if you know for sure that this sig campaign will be here to stay and if you for example live in India then going full time this way is much better than working in India where monthly salary is much lower than 300 USD.

Don't take me wrong though this is the most idealistic of the situations, with other signature campaigns you have no chance to achieve this, so better stay in your daily job and in the afternoon do a bit of posting to get a few extra money from this forum, thats what the majority of the users does here.

From an economic point of view 100% return is possible only with a currency like bitcoin(no banks can even come close to 20% let alone 100%). So based on this a good economist would sell his bitcoins making 100% profit while waiting for the dump to occur, it doesn't matter when it will occur, he will have his money ready to buy the coins when the dump occur this way also maybe tripling the coins he had before selling. This bitcoin game is quite unpredictable and the end result if you play smart can make you a rich person in some non developed third world countries.
