I think that some Bitcoin users had the chance to become rich these days. Or not maybe rich but very well settled. The price is going crazy and if they have decent amount of coins, especialy if they bought them when the price was 250 or 300$ they could make a very nice profit. It's important to set your goal and doing everything to reach that goal.

I think that in their response to you they are more trying to be polite then actualy considering cryptocurrencies as their new service so I wouldn't take this seriously.
Maybe in the near future they will realize that cryptocurrencies, especialy Bitcoin, is inevitable and that they could expand their business and attract more clients if they embrace it. But before they do that they will definetely think twice.

Avoid cloud mining sites including this one if you want to keep your money. You will not earn a satoshi and they will scam you. In fact I don't know any honest and fair cloud mining site. Maybe at first they use some methods and techiniques to attract users, maybe some of them pay something small but at the end you will left with no money in your pocket.

At the moment I like the fact that the price is so high and hope that it will be even higher. Bitcoin it's easy to use, it's available without state boundaries and politics. I also like the fact that it could be used with debit card. I just wish that it's even more spread and accepted.

Even the award is good I don't know how could anyone find the hacker unless some insider or hackers close person who has information. Otherwise is almost impossible. Or that he reports himself, ha, ha. 
Was this reported to police, was some kind of investigation conducted?

Unfortunately not but I wish I had. The best or the worst thing is that I could have 1 Bitcoin and even more but I made some wrong decisions. Will try to make this right in 2017. so that this year would be better for me. Collect as much coins as I can is my plan for this year, hope I will make it.

Hack attacks could happen anytime regardles the Bitcoin price. Actualy I don't think that the price is crucial for attack to happen. Hackers would not just cash out the stolen Bitcoins they use it for different purposes. So I think that we can't tell where and when the attack will happen and that the cause is high Bitcoin price.

I use Bitcoin debit card and it works well for me. Spending Bitcoins with card is much more easier and convenient and it's accepted everywhere, I can buy everything I want, pay for any service. I don't think that fees are exaggerated for the service you get, you also have to pay different fees for fiat cards but still we all use them.

Every investment is risky and with no guarantee for profit and so is the Bitcoin. The price and the market are volatile so you can win and you can lose. It depends how much you are willing to risk but still I think investing in Bitcoin is long term good decision with good chances to profit.

Like someone wants that some big hacker attacks happens on an exchange or something so that price could go down. I'm sure hackers have their own plans how and when to attack and this could be the less expected. Besides I don't think they count the price of Bitcoin so much, they have also other goals and reasons, not just financial gain.

Wow, what a huge amount! This guy spent fortune for a fee. But how this could even happen, unless is some kind of bug. The fee is way to big for amount spent so transaction couldn't even be executed. Or am I wrong?  Anyway, this was one in a time lucky event for miners.

Brainwallet? Very interesting term.  Although is not the most secure wallet in the world I use web wallet but on the other hand I don't have much coins. But with time wallets are also developing and getting new features so everyone can choose what suits him the best.

This looks like a bubble now but let's hope it will not burst too soon and too loud.
Some dump will follow but that doesn't mean Bitcoin should go to the bottom, maybe some correction back to 900$ or 800$ when the situation goes back stable and then we can go up again but in more moderate way.

Some are saying we go to 2000 or more in a month, other that we will drop to 500$ within the few days. To my opinion all these options are exaggerated. There is no doubt this now is a huge jump in price but probably it will not last forever. We can expect smaller corrections and maybe stabilisation of price around 900-1000. Then we'll see what happens next.

Back to the old glory.   Although is Bitcoin price going rapidly up these days 1200$ seems little to much. But on the other hand the month has jus begun and everything is still possible if the price continue this way. I think that we are all little affraid of inevitable dump in some moment because for a long time the price is climbing up and for that reason we are a bit affraid to expect 1200.

13 Bitcoins is very nice sum. In your place I would invest a part of it, maybe to buy some fine art, shares or gold or even some profitable business. The rest I would keep and try to enlarge the sum. Anyway, just keeping all this coins to sit idle in your wallet is not the best solution for making money.

That is true, someone else will take their place and make money instead of them. Circle has made wrong business decision.
But Bitcoin is and will remain digital currency so I can't actualy see the point of this article. And Bitcoin already is future.

Have no idea, this is completely new information to me. And I can't remember that it was announced or published somwhere. Anyway, this is good to know and certainly one of the good promotions in the row for Bitcoin and Bitcoin users.
But I would like to know if anyone has been paying to Microsoft account with Bitcoins?

Well, that decision depends great deal on the country in Europe you are living or planning to live. In western Europe countries interests are low but in some eastern countries are still pretty high but the realestates are also cheaper. But I think that generaly speaking buying a house in Europe is good investment and long term you will not loose.

I wouldn't necessary choose between Bitcoin and gold in favour of just one of these things. You have to watch the market closely how the prices are moving and then choose the most profitable thing. I would split my investment between Bitcoins and gold in ratio that is most favorable at the moment but I would choose both.
