They should have required users to verify their identity too to make sure it goes to real people.
they will notice it sooner or later. i find it quite weird that circle makes it this easy to abuse their promotion. you would expect them to tighten everything before launching to make sure people don't sign up with fake accounts.

today it takes some time for pages to load. maybe a ddos? previous days bitcointalk was performing fine, it started being slow in the morning.

Its stable now as speculators are undecided which it will move. They are expecting some trigger which will indicate which way it is going and then you will see a huge rally or crash.
speculators do know what to do. current price seems to perfectly reflect what bitcoin is worth at this point. why should there be action all the time. i thought people would love to see some kind of stability.

op is too optimistic. i think the halving will result in a decent but realistic price. something in the range of $350. after that it will be very interesting. then we will know what the halving really means for the price.

Hello. How safe is it to input a bitcoin address into a site eg to receive bitcoins you need to give your bitcoin address. Can anyone then empty your account with this address? I use Coinbase address. Thanks in advance.
Another good thing to do would be to invest in a Trezor hardware wallet. They are considered to be incredibly secure. They are around $100, so it just depends on how much BTC you have if it would be worth it to you or not. well, why paying to secure your coins while you don't need wallet hardware to do the job right. beside that. not every one is happy with their trezor...

Dreamers $1000 I have voted $200-$300 steady all year until even after the halving but I do hope the dreamers are right and the pessimists are wrong lol Dreamers yes, but it never hurts to dream right? lol. As long ones head in reality and have more sense its just a dream they should be seeing the price realistic points based on market caps. welcome in the speculation section of the forum. a paradise for dreamers and doomthinkers. those who are realistic are scarce. Yeah true... Even I was too much speculative and was talking a lot about pumps and dumps, but time taught me what is actually happening... I have learnt a lot during these days, or I would say months, how the price have been a lot stable between $200 - $300 range... I bet Satoshi is the most happiest person as he also might be wanting this stability along with the creation of BTC... stability is the key. it gives people confidence. if at some point the price reaches the stability of lets say high quality stocks, more people would choose bitcoin as their main storage of value. but will this ever happen...?

If you are looking for legit ones only (the most trustable at least) would be hashnest/bitX by far but their ROI is nowhere considering you may have loses if a new asic is developed between the time you own the power making your much less valued. On the other hand there are some others running for a long time but still not that trustable cause of lack of "proof" like scryptcc that can provide ROI in much less time, as well as they can run away with your money anytime and you can do nothing to sue or track them...
Cloud mining can be a very risky bet. Sites that promise ROI in x months, or give better then true payout's are just not possible long term. Most turn out to be ponzi schemes and run eventually with money. It's much easier for them to make it look like it's mining then actually making a data center full of equipment. It's sad but people are lured with amazing ROI clames, etc. I would only go with trusted cloud mining services. You don't want one that is going to split one day. trusted/legit cloud mining services don't advertise with "amazing investment opportunity" or "great return on investment" bla bla bla. mining is just not interesting at this point as being an investment. With not being able to know difficulty change it is impossible for someone to guarantee ROI in X months like they did. And with it being promised at 4 months it is impossible to pay for equipment, data center, employee or two, cooling, electricity, etc etc. It boggles my mind how people would sing up with a cloud mining site like it. I mean to guarantee no matter what 4 month ROI... that is crazy. We could have a jump in difficulty that makes it impossible yet they can still guarantee it? like love, money is making people blind. they only see dollar signs. these are the king of people that these cloud services are eagerly looking for.

day trading on exchanges with fees is a waste of time if there is no volume like now. on chinese exchanges it's different. they mostly don't charge you anything for trades. there you can make profit even when there is barely any worthy volume.

On the other side, regulated and registered exchanges will be popping up soon, making it easier and safer for people to enter bitcoin through 'normal' channels. If that money comes in, it may become huge.
a lot people can already easily buy and sell bitcoin without problems. regulated exchanges won't make loads of people buy just because of it being regulated. it's a nice bonus. nothing more.

First time I've seen an article in the main stream media about Silk Road and Ross Ulbricht (aka: DPR) that is without a single mention of Bitcoin.... anywhere in the article. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/convicted-silk-road-drug-baron-122513214.htmlI think this is significant, as it's clear that the author went out of her way to NOT mention Bitcoin in the article. They didn't vilify Bitcoin as they have typically done in the past, connecting it to drug dealing, Silk Road, etc. Even the words 'crypto currency' do not appear anywhere in the article. Turning point? it's too early to say. but it's a start. i get tired of seeing media clowns connecting bitcoin to bad activity every time. it's about time for them to stop doing so. fiat currency in form of cash money is much worse. but they don't say much about that.

i would buy everything you would need in daily life. you have not such an option to vote for. it's easy to buy tech / digital stuff. the real challenge is daily needs for bitcoin in the world.

I am tired of these discussions, because fact is,... we can't know.
exactly! we never now with bitcoin where it's going even right now, not speaking about next year/decade the only thing you can know, is that bitcoin will definitely be around by that time. if we go through the $1000 barrier by that time we can say bitcoin did well.

I consider investing a 10%of income on bitcoin a fine share of portfolio since it is highly risky investment
bitcoin in the long term has plenty of room for profit. especially if you compare it to other investments. i would say 20-25% in bitcoin and hold it for as long as possible.

there was a time you would at least need senior member status to earn like 0.10 per month. now full members can make much more than that. there are plenty full member friendly campaigns. some even accept lower than full member.

looking at the threads created here i think the first thing they think about is sig campaigns and how to earn x amount within a day.

I've made several sharp predictions in the past, all of which helping me to put coins in the bank!
i still think it will go sub $200 but definitely not in the range of $100-$150 that's too low. my guess is $190 and then back up again.

people here don't have patience. they want profit, and they want it quick. i'm not really a fan of looking at charts and say it will go up or down. i only look at the facts. fact is that short term doesn't look bright, sub $200 is not far away.
I would disagree with patience.. the only one left here are "stronghands" "bagholders" and Fallin ... time will tell which term is correct. you not seeing patience as one of the most important aspects says enough. without it you basically are lost. there are many weak handed traders ready to click on the sell button as soon as they are about to panic.

It's more volatile because there are more big players in ratio with smaller ones so there is a lot of speculation. Bitcoin is not as mainstream as other fiat currencies and no central govt to keep a currency price steady so it is more at the mercy of speculators than an ordinary fiat currency is.
big players dominate each market. whether it is gold, oil, currency, and so on. it's not only like this in bitcoin. the only difference is that bitcoin has a very low market cap. that makes bitcoin volatile. 2000-3000btc dump can get the price down like $10-$20 which is insane.
