Airdrops and bounty campaigns are probably the most efficient ways to earn some tokens. Mining takes up power and electricity which isn't exactly coming free but the other methods are much preferable.
Airdrop tokens aren't exactly the best as they wouldn't be much in value when it hits the market as it's literally a freely disturbed token. On the other hand, bounty campaigns allow for advertising of a particular campaign which in turn pays you in their tokens which usually nets a pretty decent amount when it makes it to the exchanges.

That would be the last thing that I would want to happen with Bitcoin. Many countries have already given it a shot, the latest of which to join the list is Australia and this only imposes restrictions on the common Bitcoin users in a particular country. If all these nations rally up and determine to regulate cryptocurrency, its going to be a hard road ahead.
563  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: buy btc now or wait the fork ? on: November 04, 2017, 02:50:26 PM
If you're going in with a formidable sized investment, buying up right now would be a great idea as you will get equivalent coins for holding onto it during the fork which is literally free money. Having seen two hard forks before, Bitcoin is looking like it will shoot up as usual which is double the good news for you.
564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Government. on: November 04, 2017, 02:39:11 PM
Governments around the world have their own stance on Bitcoin. While most of the nations support the blockchain technology that Bitcoin is based on, some of them have declared outright opposition against the cryptocurrency. Honestly though, when governments see the applications of a currency like Bitcoin which is completely digitised without any flaws, most of them would work towards implementing such a system unless we're talking about China.

It's really a hard thing to set kind of like a fixed price tag on Bitcoin if you think practically as the factors that influence its price are basically supply and demand. When supply and demand can never be fixed for obvious reasons, it is fair enough to say setting a fixed price for Bitcoin wouldn't exactly be possible.

Having already seen two hard forks in this year itself, it is evident that even if Segwit2x receives a lot of support, it will not be able to budge Bitcoin. Coinbase is just trying to drive their user base to support it too as there's definitely some favor they are being offered by the Segwit2x team, monetary or not. Also keep in mind that many organisations and even some countries have declared a war on the upcoming hard fork.
567  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Poloniex or Bittrex? (OR OTHERS?) on: November 04, 2017, 05:41:33 AM
Just look around the forums you will find both Poloniex and Bittrex being accused of doing shady stuff like locking out accounts with high trade volumes while coins are present in it without any particular reason. If you're going in with a high volume, I would suggest to divest into multiple exchanges which might sound like a headache but is far better than being locked out with all your balance in a site's account.
568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are hard forks the poor developer's ICO? on: November 04, 2017, 04:27:39 AM
Block size upgrades, emergency difficulty adjustment and all the other so called 'improvements' from the core protocol are just pretexts to create a new token out of thin air, premine the shit out of it (like Bitcoin gold). Bitcoin has been around for almost a decade now and all the problems that it has encountered have been successfully solved by various means. These hard forks are just big time excuses and will be going nowhere in the future.
569  Economy / Economics / Re: How to train your money for costly bitcoin? on: November 04, 2017, 03:47:52 AM
Given the situation of bitcoin prices are growing higher and more higher since last few weeks is becoming more and more difficult to keep up with the regular small fixed amount of purchase. Earlier for 100 dollars a month or bimonthly I was able to see the reasonable amount of bitcoin ( or should I say satoshis). Nowadays the prices have gone high which feels real good for existing amount purchased so far. However at the same time getting clueless about how much should be put aside for regular bitcoin purchase. Because for 100 dollars the amount of satoshis we get is nothing.
What do you think how to tackle the problem of investing in bitcoin on regular basis with prices going high and higher?

An investment in Bitcoin shouldn't be considered big or small, given that you're putting in $100 per month and going for the long haul. Over years, the same investment that you would consider 'small' and 'not so worthy' would've grown into thousands and with the ever increasing price of Bitcoin, you would've made more profit that investing in banks which offer mere interest rates.

Having been the base of the surge in price towards the $7.5k mark, this development is a big boon for Bitcoin on the longer run for sure. With more acceptances, Bitcoin gains popularity and this will have a great positive impact on the market making it go higher. Furthermore, expect various other companies to open up to accept Bitcoin which would be a dream scenario.
571  Other / Meta / Re: BitcoinTalk hacked accounts on: November 03, 2017, 07:02:48 AM
I am seeing a lot of people claiming that their accounts have been hacked. I am just baffled, I wasn't aware of this.
1)To those who have been hacked, do you know how that happened?
2)Does anyone know why hackers would steal a forum account?
3)I now realise the importance of staking my bitcoin address. Now my question is, do I have to use an address of those wallets that doesn't change after using it?

1. Probably due to forum database leaks which would've happened years ago and the ones getting hacked are those who aren't changing their password.
2. Forum accounts are highly valuable as they can be used to participate in various campaigns which could net quick money in Bitcoin/altcoins.

Bitcoin bull run is nearing its end, the steam is running out. Altcoins will rally after the fallout is all said and done.

BTC price at post $7,288

That's literally the prayer of everyone who has hoarded altcoins in time of draught and I really hope someone answers to them. Going to be a solid 2 weeks or more till Bitcoin starts dropping with the third hard fork imminent in about a fortnight so it's still going to be a struggle for the whole altcoin market and expect only the top coins to make it through.

574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ether to bitcoin? on: November 01, 2017, 06:19:33 AM
Will it be more profitable to do ether to bitcoin or just stick with bitcoin

It all depends on the size of investment and time period. If your investment amount is on the lower side and expect some quick profit, might as well turn that Bitcoin into ETH through exchanges. If you're having a considerably bigger investment, stick to Bitcoin and go for the long haul, it is definitely going to be worth the patience.
575  Economy / Economics / Re: Yes or No? Doesn't Bitcoin unfairly benefit early adopters? on: November 01, 2017, 05:05:05 AM
That's a big NO that I answered on the poll as it was a person's own wish to adopt BTC or not when they first heard about it. There were more people who trashed the whole idea of digital currencies than the ones who intended to adopt to a new system and most of the latters are probably millionaires by now because of their own decisions when the majority were opposing it.
576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exciting No Nonsense ICO To Jump In Before November 2017 on: November 01, 2017, 03:37:37 AM
ICOs are undergoing a hard time due to the instability of Bitcoin which influences altcoin prices. I wouldn't invest in any ICO at all after I learnt my lesson from a few ones that invested in. After a few weeks of ending of the ICO, the price always drops below ICO price even if it is a high potential coin. So I would suggest to wait for the coin offering to end and then buy in when the price has a significant drop.
577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: “International Bitcoin Communities” Rejecting SegWit2x on: November 01, 2017, 03:13:10 AM
I think that its sad if the community cant make update on our beloved BTC, since it needs it, badly otherwise it will just will not become nothing more than asset.
I believe that change is needed in order to go forward an add value to BTC.

Same thing was said when Bitcoin Cash was coming into existence but then again everyone stuck to using Bitcoin over BCH. No matter how many forks happen, they cannot overtake Bitcoin core as people would prefer the first version over the newer 'promising' ones.
Value of Bitcoin is already at an all time high as I'm typing this, so it's still on the right path with all these forks intervening in its progress.
578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: October 31, 2017, 02:16:44 PM
Gambling is an addiction that is very hard to overcome. People gamble to win but after incurring a significant loss, they intend to recover that through gambling itself and this is where they fall prey, get in debt, gamble and lose away that money too and end up homeless. The worst part about this is it ruins lives while at it and the people never understand when to put a full stop.
579  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gold a Funeral ? on: October 31, 2017, 09:42:08 AM
Highly expected this to happen as the Bitcoin gold dev team thought the community would be fine with 200k coins being premined. It hit YoBit exchange even before the actual fork happened and whoever sold early made a lot of fortune and that was it, nothing more than a plunge to the face of earth within the next days.
580  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading strategy before the fork in mid-nov on: October 31, 2017, 09:23:56 AM
What is your strategy before the fork in the middle of next month. Do you buy up before the fork, or do you believe that it will fall in the aftermath of the fork, and therefore sell a bit off now?
This is both in relation to BTC and Altcoins

Hard forks are pretty much goldmines when you stock up a big balance and wait for the fork to happen. Shouldn't at all be afraid about price drops after a fork as we've seen two forks go by and Bitcoin has been swift on its way back to the top. So I would suggest only one thing: buy up and HODL and wait for money to roll in!
