OP - You started this thread in January 2015. How many coins do you hold from that time . You would have make a great money if you really hold any of the btc till date.
I think that also the price in last january 2016 is raging to 350-400 dollars but now it reaches $700 that was a huge profit as of now, i think this time is the best time to sell if you are looking big profit. If you are long term holder, it is not the best time to sell. Actually, for the next 20 years, the price will rise a few hundred times. Holding for next 20 years is not advisable as it can be risky to hold that long if price falls or bitcoin disappears you will never enjoy the success of making profits from it. although i agree with this but i will also keep some bitcoin in my cold storage for as long as i am alive! even if it goes down. i made my investments and i am making profit and also earning bitcoin so i don't need to sell everything even if the price goes so high then i would just sell a part of it and enjoy the money i get and keep the rest.

Welcome back 700 will just happen in a couple of weeks and that is because the price needs to find his way up and the halving will not help allot with that. So if we want to make sure we will get back to the 700 we need to make sure everybody is spending some of their coins.
couple of weeks? price is not increasing up to the level of expectation of the users, just before i had seen the price to be $676. Well I do hope that after halving it would stabilize to 676 and the new lowest value of btc is 600$. Seems to good to be true but I think it is possible. Well I do hope it meets my expectation. the stable price above $600 seems to be the price that will stick. it has been tested and was proven that it is stable enough. besides we already went down below $600 barrier once and it wasn't too long before the price jumped back up above it, so i think it is safe to say that a $676 isn't so out of order.

These sort of thread titles are popping up all over the place. Most of them made by brand new accounts. We all know what that means. Whales are trying to shake the tree and get cheap coins. ....
i always wonder how effective these types of new posts are for those who make it. it is interesting to see them keeping at it always and even though it is getting old but they never stop and everyday you see a new account with new topics about bitcoin doom. it must be a tiring job for the moderators of this board to keep deleting a dozen of these posts every day.

i has already happened, and you can buy fried chickens with bitcoin. i know for a fact that there is a food truck in US that is accepting bitcoin as payment and i am sure he is selling fried chickens too. so you just have to look for it ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

if i have a good paying job then why not.i would love to make my income on bitcoins as soon as the job or the work has set with my skills and my type. a sufficient employee always serch for better work and better earning so if there is any small income servic site avalable then please mention it
but what will you do about your daily expenses ? bitcoin is not yet at a stage that you can spend it everywhere, so having your income mainly as bitcoin would cause a lot of problems because you will have to convert it to fiat every time you need to buy something like groceries and not to even mention the price changes.

I would deposit them all at primedice and play 10 times all in at 98% ... i would get like 1 btc more if it would work lol then i would probably withdraw or risk it more hahaha,i dont know its a dream anyway... not gonna happen i guess
but in that case you would only need one loss to lose it all! and that is why it is always said that gambling is a bad idea. even with a high chance of winning there is still 2% chance that you lose and it can even be your first roll.

i would do anything i can and have in my power to prevent it from happening, it is always good to prevent things rather than thinking what you will do if they happen. but in case it happens i would do nothing, i will start over again from zero.

Anyone know wallet similar to block chain that sends SMS confirmation code before sending btc? I don't need wallets similar to localbitcoins or coinbase where admin can decide to seize ur btc. Thanks
as far as i can remember , blockchain.info uses SMS verification for log ins not for sending bitcoin. but if you are looking for a similar service i think GreenAddress is the closest thing to blockchain.info you may want to check them out yourself. also you can check https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet the section about "Web Wallets" and choose one from there.

I don't think it's right to say people deserved to lose their bitcoin. Mt gox was unforeseeable at the time and although it has taught many people not to store anything on exchanges not everyone can know this. As adoption grows the responsibility lies with us to teach those who don't know better because people losing money to exchanges affects the image of bitcoin.
i agree, it is a harsh and wrong thing to say that in general although OP is mostly talking about those who give their money away to the scammers like inveting in HYIPs or cloudminings but i agree that when you lose your money to things like Mt gox or cryptsy even when you never keep your coins on them that is not your fault.

Hi!
What do you people think about making a living by trading BTC/USD or BTC with other ALT Coins?
Do you think it's possible to make a living with an excellent starting capital? ($100k ~)
I am looking to get at least $5000 per month profit with this capital
Can we have this kind of income as a "sustainable income."
Is anyone making a living trading? What kind of strategy do you like more.
yes it is possible but it is not going to be an easy thing to pull off. trading may not be the most glamorous job in the world because of the risks and the stress that it will have on your life but it can be a good and profitable thing to do. but i personally like doing it as a second job not to make a living from it.

When trading What Matters More Skills or Luck?
i believe that both of them are key aspects that can lead you to success and you will always need both of them and can't deny the effect of any. but what matters is skills because skills is what you can rely on in long term not luck, so if you have skills you can make profit if you get unlucky because you can get out of a bad situation or loss with enough skills.

I don't know if you can consider me as a smart gambler because I also lose at times but one thing I can consider that would make me a smart gambler is that I have another account where I transfer my winnings so that I will not be tempted to stake all the money I have in my current balance. I just leave an amount for further betting.
actually that is the smartest thing that you can ever do in gambling. it is the best strategy to limit the funds you put into gambling, it is always suggested to invest what you can afford to lose so limiting yourself to that amount makes you only lose that much and nothing more, this is also what i always try to do.

if there is a exchange site that allows users to invest i might just dive into it without even checking backgrounds ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) i only notice gambling sites that allow investments though. bitvest.oi seem good. exchanges are worse actually, i wouldn't trust either exchanges nor casinos for investment but even if i want to choose between these two i would always go with a casino because they are winning as the house. also whenever you feel like trusting an exchange service remind yourself of Mt.Gox and Cryptsy and how they scammed people while being a huge and trusted service.

most people don't even know what bitcoin actually is about. the only thing they know is the negative aspects and the silk road bullshit. even though, they are dumb enough to recognize its potential
Human nature is to be afraid of the unknown. Let's say if I gave you a box and told you to stick your hand in without looking, you would think I put a spider or a dirty sock in there. People just have to be educated. but this has nothing to do with HATE when people don't know about something they will stay away or become scared of that thing, in case of bitcoin if they don't understand bitcoin or how it works they will be scared to use it not hating it!!

Since the price of Bitcoin changes a lot, so I know most of you are investing large amounts of money in Bitcoin. But why are you doing this? to make money by selling them after a price increase? or is it just to have something to do on the internet? And since the price can increase and decrease, you can lose this invested money, what would you do?
i invest in bitcoin because it is the best investment that i can think about and it has already been proven to me that it has a good return because i have gotten my initial investment back and i am having a good time with the huge profit that i got from the long term investment that i made last year. Actually not most of the people who are into bitcoins are investing large amounts of money on this thing. It would be more appropriate to say that most of the people who are into bitcoins are investing ample amount of their time earning bitcoins. Most of them, including myself are earning bitcoins without investing a single amount. Have you heard of freebitcoins? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) i am not talking about most people nor making big investment, i only invested what i could afford which is small in comparison to many other people who you can see here. also i have to say there is no such thing as freebitcoins and you are getting paid (tiny amount or big amount doesn't matter) for the work that you do, even if it is faucets or signature campaign you are doing a job to get paid so it is not free.

If considering short term it would be bitcoin at present. But thinking to larger and historically it will always be gold.
Indeed the bitcoin is for short terms and the gold for the long term, although I must say that bitcoin can be profitable on both. Gold is mostly taking a long time before its really getting profitable, but its all depending on the market of course. both of them depend on the market's state at all times, so they can both be profitable in both short and long term depending on the time you get in. so for example if you can get in bitcoin at the very bottom like $170 last year then it is the best long term investment which will result in a big profit in 1-2 years. but if you get in on top or on the way up then it should be short.

it's true. halving approximately 10 days. and the calculation that was already made. and halving the time now approaching will make bitcoin prices rose. supply dwindling make bitcoin will be much sought after by the public.
If I am not Wrong, I think halving is already in 6 days? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Well, anyways, depending on the demand we could see some rise on the price. Will miners get less money from mining after halving? yeah that's about right time around 6 more days give or take. and about the less money i have to say that miners are already getting a lot of money which is a lot more than they spend so it is pure profit and after halving it will only be cut in half so they will get less money but it is still profit.

so far bitcoin has been on a very good track and all the phases are somewhat clear, the accumulation was done for another round at above 600 and not everything is getting ready for another rise soon.

Well it is hard to collect BTC , there's a ways to earn and collect btc online, but it doesn't mean it easy and simple for the beginner's or the one new for bitcoin world, always plays a faucet and collect, you earned small amount of bitcoin for playing a faucet but additional collection for your wallet, and also joint the signature campaign for you to earn more BTC , I think this one, give you more BTC per month.
it is not hard at all if you have some sort of skill and willing to learn some skills, then it would be easy as pie. you can easily make money with your skills by offering them and the earning would be a lot more too. or you can even learn some new things like trading. you just need to find that niche that you like and good at then improve yourself in that area.
