http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/04/bitcoin-hype/477141/Something strange is happening to Bitcoin. Once viewed as a way to do business in the darkest corners of the web, the digital currency has rather suddenly become a favorite talking point among humanitarians and international development enthusiasts.
Bitcoin isn’t just for illicit transactions or Internet hobbyists anymore, but for helping the poor, the downtrodden, and the unbanked.
Perhaps Bitcoin can save them! Perhaps Bitcoin can save the world!
Regardless of whether this attitude is realistic—and more on that in a minute—the people focused on demonstrating the social benefits of Bitcoin are challenging existing narratives about the cryptocurrency. While early commentary focused on how Bitcoin might be used to buy drugs online, or for sending money without a paper trail; the social-good argument suggests that these uses were simply the first use-cases in which Bitcoin’s utility became apparent. But there are billions of other potential use. There are, for example, people who face significant obstacles in operating within the formal banking system—and these folks look very different from the shadowy hackers that tend to be seen as the prototypical Bitcoin user. They could be low-wage migrant workers sending money back home to their families, for example, or activists receiving money from abroad during tumultuous times. From people depends will something be used for good or bad. It is in choices that we need to make everyday. We give shape to things around us, so answer on your question is pretty simple: Yes it can! Will it be? Who knows.. again that depends from all of us. |

Anything is possible in this world. I`m not saying that btc will replace some old currency but in ideal conditions I think something like that can happen.
We probably talking about some far future, cause now other currencies are too strong. And have many powerful people behind it.

I was wondering what will happen to bitcointalk forum's signature campaigns if bitcoin price reach very high say $10,000 per bitcoin? will campaign continue to run as current payouts which would be in thousands dollar per member or will all campaigns suddenly come to halt because nobody would want to spend their coins
Signature campaigns are advertising. That`s it! This forum is full with people that use BTC and where is currently best place to advertise any bitcoin service then here? I see signature campaigns come and go, some are here for very long time. I believe they will be here until they find some better place to advertise their service, even then I don`t think they will abandon this place. Bitcointalk forum is growing, so this is no.1 place for bitcoin users and I believe it will stay like that. |

Just stay away from ponzi scheme or something like that, you might build your own business, or investing on trusted scheme like gambling investment, lending company or some kind of that, you must check the reputable of the company first due to the so many scam site out there,
i hope you find your way
The important thing is the secure of the investment. I agree with you. After that, check the company have potential to give profit or not.. Although it secure but also must profitable. Yeah everyone likes to have a secured investment. If you are in need to earn 100$ from bitcoin the highest possible methods are trading and gambling. You can try trading but it takes time to earn $100 if you don't have big capital. Let`s be honest there is no safe investment. Everything is risk, every time we invest in something we are not sure that we will earn. I don`t know what people think, its not easy... For me everything is gambling, you can say what ever but in trading its easy to lose everything like in gambling. |

I believe this is a very good thing. Steam recognized potential of btc and we can finally use our coins there. I see people talking about discount if we use btc there, well its a nice thing but I dont need it, for me its important to buy something with btc discount will come like any other. We will wait for good moments to make some purchase.

So...
Just one question if it rise on 5K next month, what you think will happen for one year? Or you believe after some big rise like on 20k bitcoin will go back on 400$ again for people to buy it hm hm, maybe even on zero. I dont like fast pumps and things, with easy and slow way we can cross much more. |

Of course its feel good when I send bitcoins, but you know what? It feels even more better when I cash out some win from casino and then I wait to recieve coins ho ho ho. I see many of us feel the same, everyone would like to have many coins in possession.

I began my career in the bictoin . In 2010 the bitcoin was worth 0.01 euro , now a bitcoin worth 400 euros. I ask myself a question: what will be its value in 2020 ?. A friend told me that its value will be 10,000 euros.  Sorry for the spelling for I am french .  Thank you for your replies  Evolution. Remember computers 20 years ago and look computers now. I think bitcoin will rise but even if it comes on 1600 $ for 3 years its x 4, its not little at all. I will be satisfied with any rise we see, I have a patience. |

It seems as if Apple is refusing to put in backdoors which is why they were in a very public court battle against the FBI a few weeks ago!
Who knows, maybe they gave it already and now they just make mask for that. Don't believe in anything they say. |

I believe its possible for bitcoin to hit 800 $. Its going up everyday so its logical to think that there is high possibility to touch new high. If touch 800 $ this year it will be amazing, even more if stay on that after rise. |

I checked all thread, this is a bed start for casino. I don't know why OP allowed this chaos in his own thread. Keep it clean and nice, people don't like when there is chaos. Who will deposit money now? You should inform yourself better before you offered bonus (which is very nice thing), and to give that bonus just for members or above. There was many similar things before, people abuse almost every bonus.
Changing rules in the middle of the bonus is not good thing also, that means that you are ready to do same thing again. Or one day just to disappear with money...who knows, I'm just saying its not a good sign. Sometimes its better to admit fault and try to compensate it in private then to show to everyone.
I wanted to deposit in beginning of the thread, now on end I don't think so. I will wait a bit more to see what will happen here.
And deposit bonus is nice idea, just why so much? For testing some site for first time usually I don't deposit more then 5 bucks, more or less. To put my 44.81$ (price of 0.1 in this moment) in your casino after all this....
Make things right and clean this thread. Friendly advice from guy who gamble all the time.

Hello everyone i have decided to try my hand and bitcoin trading i already have a couple wallets created and the one that i have with mycelium has 4.291 mBTC i will be buying more but i am kind of lost at what to do now. you can buy and trade on the app but i don't think anyone is going to buy such a small amount. what are my next steps? i have gone back all the way to page 13 absorbing as much information as possible. just seeking a little guidance. any and all information will be greatly appreciated
Like everything else, trading is also something that you need to try to be able to understand. There is many things written about it, but without practice so much informations will just confuse you. Get into it slowly, you have big amount of money so you can risk 30 $ and with that money try to trade. How to trade is hard thing to explain, buying low selling high is simple but when is price low and when will be high is what makes thing difficult. Read what other people write, listen what people are talking about, but in the end follow your feelings. |

I think litecoin will be here forever like bitcoin. Maybe with same price, maybe even a bit more eventually. I don't think ltc will die.

Its a fact that dollar is old currency, much more practical, and used by many countries... So why to compare that old, well known currency with young bitcoin? For now everything is going in good direction, bitcoin is growing and bitcoin will need more time to advance on higher levels.
Looks like its only about taste, personally I like bitcoin more then dollar. I use bitcoins more then dollars. Slowly more and more people start to like btc more then other currencies.

Nothing about halving, just relax and do what you did until now. I don't understand why majority is so nervous about up coming halving. I think that will be a little test for miners mostly, but for users also. Its much important for people who trade and mine, but for people who love btc its just one interesting date. It will be interesting to see results.

The price rise is not over and bitcoin will get a high value and with users of bitcoin that is growing we will see more price rise.
I also think like that. OP made a bit mistake when he thought about future of bitcoin. But I see a lot of people that still doubt in blockchain, I think we don't need to bother anymore with explanations. Time will tell them everything and then they realize mistake they made. I rest my case on that. Im tired. |

You had very bed evening. Its a lot of money, I hope its not everything you have. If it is then you are in good trouble i bet.
You cant do nothing for now, dont regret. That is the point of gambling. Just keep on moving.
