Posts like these make me realize that the price of Bitcoin is being driven by fear.

Fear of missing out
Fear of the Economy
Fear of Central Banks
Fear of War

Sure, some adopters are in it for freedom and the financial morality behind it, but the vast majority don't know squat about the Fiat system and its drawbacks.

The price of Bitcoin is shielded with the media and billionaires, and only has room to go up with change in the economy.

If you have an iPhone or an Android smart phone, the EASIEST way would be to download a mobile wallet like Breadwallet and use that to send & transfer BTC anywhere, anytime.

I would also recommend setting one up on your computer as a backup.

This would be huge!

Companies like Uber and Amazon adopting Bitcoin would completely change the landscape of crypto. If Uber accepted Bitcoin just imagine the kind of taxi driver to passenger gossip that would spread like wildfire. The price of Bitcoin would skyrocket even more.

Wow, I think I am underestimating Bitcoin moreso than I thought. There are just so many opportunities for adoption increases & huge price jumps.

Valentina, I think you need to take the first steps and get to know the technology as a whole. Pick up a good book on Bitcoin and the Blockchain to learn how it works, then go obtain your first Bitcoins!

This forum is a great first step to learn about Bitcoin, interact with our great community and learn what is possible.

Also, feel free to check out my Bitcoin documentary list and choose a film that peaks your interest: https://www.smartbitcoininvestments.com/bitcoin-documentary-list/

Pick up a good book on Bitcoin and truly get to understand the technology. You could even read the original white paper if you'd like (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf).

In my opinion, understanding how the Bitcoin & Blockchain technology works is crucial towards making good decisions with it, especially as an investment.

Also, you could skip the book and check out a few good Bitcoin related documentaries if you want. Lucky for you, I've already compiled a comprehensive list.

Easy. Start a real business that uses & accept Bitcoin. It can be a website, a YouTube channel or even an app! Affiliate income is also quite nice if you know what you are doing.

Get creative if you really want to make big money. 

The original logo on OP looks great! Could this be an alternate avatar?   

Crazy how far and how fast Bitcoin has gone up in recent years.

Bitcoin has to be single-handedly one of the most traded and talked about investments in the last century or so. It's not quite like a stock, but much easier to understand than a business.

Buying up Bitcoin is like investing in first mover technology for a field that specializes in cryptographically secured currency, except the entire product is free to use for the entire planet of Earth. Can't complain about how "slow" the price is going up.

The best thing is that Bitcoin is as surefire of a bet as most others for the future ahead and it is one that is both open source and shared in communities like these.  

No, most likely it will just become a supreme method for store of value.

I think Ripple, Dogecoin or some of these other altcoins have the potential to be the world's currency, but a world currency will need to be politically backed instead of intrinsically backed like Gold, so who knows which one will win out in the end. 

Technology can and will innovate anything. It has innovated our methods of travel. It has innovated our food and water.

Certainly technology can innovate on Gold. Bitcoin is a supremely flexible store of value and performs to the efficiency and security of a Swiss (Army) bank.

Because obtaining Bitcoin is a digital gold rush in a sense it only makes sense that the price will go up. People don't need to go mine or hunt for Gold - they can just secure it digitally, by purchasing it with Fiat currency, mining it or earning it.

Combined with all of the benefits in OP, Bitcoin is essentially an inflation proof store of value that is secure and anonymous.  Best of all it is legal!

THanks man! Really appreciate the cool feedback. Some people think Bitcoin is just fiction, but the severity of our financial system is fact, so we need to be aware of how we can secure ourselves financially for the future. 

Looking forward to joining this Affinity Mining signature campaign. I have already set my avatar and signature to the correct versions. Cheers!

I would like to confirm that I have received my payment as well. It has truly been a pleasure being a part of this signature campaign. 

I think it can break $5000 by December. Overall, it will take some time to achieve that price, however I would probably stay on the bearish end considering the volatility and ability of the media to impact perception.

Bitcoin is a good investment, but don't get too excited about your returns, especially buying in at this time. If you have lots to blow, then yea go ahead. But if you are looking at Bitcoin as an investment I would try and time the market for the best value.

It means that being a miner is going to be extra profitable over the long run. Picking up extra transaction fees while the price increases must be nice.

Really makes me want to consider going in deeper with mining Bitcoins. Lots of potential here, especially with other alt currencies as well.

Why do we even need all these separate versions anyway? It seems like the original Bitcoin was working great. Doesn't seem like Bitcoin Cash is doing much of any good.

I would be interested to see if more forks happen in the future. We're less than 10 years into Bitcoin so in 100 years who knows how many potential forks or splits can happen.   

First off, Bitcoin isn't a job so there isn't a real direct route from simply quitting your job to earning Bitcoin.

I would encourage you to read The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. He covers a lot about quitting your job (or minimizing time spent working) to focus on money getting and the automation of it.

The best thing you could do is create a hustle to earn Bitcoins online whether through transactions, services, affiliate, media or what have you. Use your imagination  

Realistically you can invest in Bitcoin as a store of private wealth. You could buy from exchanges like Coinbase, Poloniex, etc and store them securely with a cold wallet and a vault.

 Alternatively, you could invest cash or your 401k into Bitcoin. I know Regal Assets has the worlds most secure cloud + cold storage wallet (Only available for U.S. residents), so if you wanna go the extra mile there's another option. I share more about Bitcoin IRA strategies  on: https://www.smartbitcoininvestments.com

Ultimately, Bitcoin is more of a store of value than a form of money, so it makes for a great investment.

Who cares about Tax authorities  

Bitcoin is free money people. FREE. Meaning free from government control, corruption and war mongering.

Free from filthy bankers with no real agenda but more pockets for their empty souls.

Taxation is a sin, and our governments are able to do it because of an outdated system. This shouldn't even be a question.

Bitcoin is part of the revolution baby. Ain't no one going to tax my free spirit.

I'm gonna spend my Bitcoins freely at every shop I see that has the sticker.

Seems like you've got good timing, but you are squeezing pennies to make cents. Honestly it would be smarter to buy in more when you can and hold for the long term.

When it's a good investment, it's wiser to keep buying in than trying to time the market.

You don't see Warren Buffett buying and selling his shares due to market fluctuations. He buys for the long haul because he sees good value. Ultimately, that should be the reason behind holding BTC fellas.
