Totally agree with this. There's always a chance here in btc investment. I think we should consider everyday as a last chance on a different perspective. What I mean to say is if you are thinking of investing in btc today but still thinking about it, you should consider every day the "last chance." Every single day is an opportunity and that we should always grab it as soon as it shows itself.

Yes definitely it will surpass the 5000 value. Last week I've been saying to other threads that we will be seeing the 4000 by the end of this month and that we will pass 5000 by the end of this year or early next year. But look at the numbers now. We're still half way of this month. Just as I thought that my prediction last week was due to my confidence in btc. Clearly I underestimated its potential. So, it might be an exaggeration but now I'll put the game a little higher at 10,000 by the end of this year of the trend goes on.

I agree it's the best way for those leaders to hide their ill gotten wealth. Actually it is very timely here in our country. There is this chairman of the commission on elections who was reported by his wife. The wife said that he have 30 bank accounts and a hidden wealth of about $20M which he didn't declared in his assets. He countered by saying that it was his family's. That they earned it from forex trading.

If only he and his family knew about btc I don't think he'll be facing those charges right now.

It actually depends on how long are you planning to invest. Today, we had value as low as $3985 and the highest is about $4400. I think it's better to wait for not higher than 4100 before you invest.

If you are planning for a long term investment like minimum of 6months to 1 year, then you can invest your thousand by all means. But I'd rather you study the trend first.

Well then you are so lucky to have that amount of btc at a young age. For us who are new in btc and still have to wait months before we even come up with 1btc it's hard to keep up with you guys. I was wondering what online job offers at least 1btc for a month. I'd be more than happy working with them.

Actually, btc is for everybody. It wasn't just for the rich people because anyone can have access btc. I agree that the price increase is staggering and quite intimidating for people who wants to own at least BTC1. If you are earning fixed amount of btc regularly you will not be bothered by the price. But if you are investing your hard earned money then that's another story. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose, ever.

I think you're referring to the bitcoin wallet that the fbi confiscated from Silk Road which contains 144,000btc. Been seeing this in btc news and other websites. But I don't really think that they are the largest btc holder simply because it was other's wallet that were just seized by them. Technically, it's not their btc.

Definitely. Bill Gates influence is great and worldwide. And no wonder that his statement really helped. Those who don't know btc definitely know who Bill Gates is and one thing for sure, his words are hard not to believe for skepticals. So if you were planning on investing in btc but not yet sure if you will really go for it, BG's words will help you decide right away. And that's what convinced a lot of people which makes them invest and helped the stability of btc.

I don't think btc needs loyalty rewards to enter masses consciousness. It already is known widely and I don't agree with the idea of it being a reward tokens that people don't need to know it's btc. People need to know what btc is. They have to be educated about it and its potential of they weren't alreadr aware.

If I have a business like Starbucks, why would I give my btc as a reward token? I'll jist give them a free cup of coffee instead of my btc.

I wasn't really aware of btc until later last year. But yes, I do regret not having heard of it earlier when I can purchase a thousand btc for a lesser price. I wonder what am I doing all those years. But nevertheless, I'm still glad that I'm now part of the btc community.

Actually, I have lots of dreams way before I came to know bitcoins. So I'll be enumerating some of them as short as I can.

First, I want to buy a 500 sqm lot and build 2 two-storey house one for my parents and one for me and my husband. Complete with a backyard mini farm where my mom can plant different kinds of vegetables because she loves them and a front garden with different flowers. With indoor pools and a garage for 4 cars.

Second, to establish my dream businesses. I want to put up a perfumery and gift shop. Another business I like is a cafè. And another one is an events place. Lastly, to have my own private resort in a beautiful island.

How I wish I could fulfill all or maybe some of this dream in 10 years.

I agree it will not be a surprise if btc will be accepted as fare in Uber. Drivers will not only have income from the fares but also an investment as well. Though for now it's just for a tip I think they deserve some since they offer convenience to people. It's the convenience we are paying them for afterall.

I do have experiences in trading but I don't consider myself a pro. I would love to hear from you soon once your tool was tested. It will really be a game changer to have a useful tool in trading. And I think based on what you said about your tool it will be a lot of help for traders. Will be checking this thread from time to time. Cheers!

I haven't bought anything from my btc earnings right now. But what I did is invested most of it in our family business. In our place, our family is known for roasted pork called "lechon". Whenever there's an occasion we are the ones they look for it. Back then during my grandparents time they only offer pork and it's upon ordering. But now we acquired a place where we can put up a food stall specializing in lechon and added roasted chicken in our menu.

I think that was a good strategy promoting bitcoin. Instead of spending money to go to advertising agencies, holding a banner for the world to see is a good move and I commend that guy for his effort. I wonder if someone will do it in mayweather's fight? All those people who will be watching live on the ringside are rich. They are good targets because most of them are gambler. It's about time they put some of their wealth into btc.

I don't think it really matters. Whether you put it in mBTC or BTC the value is still the same. Those zeroes are quite confusing if you read it in mBTC. But with the wallet I am using I have the option to set how much I am going to buy in a fiat currency so I don't have to bother how many 0.0000 I have to put if I am going to buy less than 1btc. With that, I don't have to worry whether it's denominated as btc or mbtc.

Payment received. Thanks.

Let me set this right coz I got confused. So you were scammed and lost your £200 seven years ago. Then someone introduced you bitcoin but you didn't buy, right? Well that's unfortunate. And I guess this is the same btc that you're saying. You could have been a millionaire right now if you bought it back then. One thing though, I understand that you hesitated since that was just btc's first year of existence. But where were you last 2013 or say last year? Btc have established itself and that person who introduced btc to you 7 years ago should have been a millionaire right now. You should have heard from him during those past years.

I got into bitcoin at first mainly just to have an extra income and of course to pay the bills while I find another job. Now that I have profited from btc I am planning to invest more but I have no current plans to invest to other altcoins. I may invest one of these days as soon as I found the right alt to invest into.

I do also have plans on investing some of my profits to a small business. I've been always wanting to have a business in line with perfumes and that's what I wanted to invest for maybe early next year. It will be an achievement for me to put up a business I've been hoping for with the help of btc. And of course it will be a story to tell and a good strategy to advertise btc to my friends and future clients.

We can't deny the fact that it really is a threat to banks and if you own a bank you will be alarmed if people started pulling out their money. Before it gets worst your first step is to do everything in your power to control the damage btc will bring to your business. That being said, it is a good plan to start with publicity stunts such as propagating bad news to prevent people from investing. Then comes the involvement of government. They have the power to ban btc in their country and the banks will be happy. These things aren't surprising at all but I think at this point they cannot stop btc. What they should do is to study and get on board with btc trend. Develop services involving btc (if the banks in your country don't support btc yet) and it will be a win-win situation for all parties.

I don't know what country have banks that don't support btc but here in ph almost every bank supports btc.
