Now that we know who Satoshi is, can we get him to tell Greg Maxwell and Blockstream to fuck right off and raise the blocksize immediately so we can all get back to work doing useful things rather than pissing in the wind?
how do we know who satoshi is now? as far as i know and followed the news so far, there is no signed message from the known satoshi addresses. so we don't know this yet. |

Poloniex is an old exchanger with a lot of traders using their system so that creates a big amount of volume and fees for them, they don't need to give sign up bonus to get more people.
the only thing they used to have (a year ago) was giveaways they had a page for people to giveaway altcoins there. which they have removed from their site.

Why wouldn't people hate bitcoin? Of course people hate bitcoin! They hate bitcoin because of the Silk Road. They hate bitcoin because they can't tax it, regulate it, or insure it. They hate bitcoin because it is the currency of choice for scammers, thieves, drug dealers, and terrorists. They just hate bitcoin for being bitcoin and that's why I love it!
Why would people hate if it they can't tax it? Isn't it the government which should hate it?  who said you can't "tax it"? if you want to have a legitimate business and don't get into trouble with the authorities you have to pay your taxes. and all the legitimate businesses that exist today are paying their taxes when they are working with bitcoin. and small time businesses which are not paying tax will get into trouble sooner or later. |

How do i create bitcoin address? what is the cost to purchase it.
use xapo or blockchain to create a free bitcoin wallet. 1: Go to Blockchain.info 2: Go to "Wallet" in Upper Manue 3: Click "Start a New wallet" Blue Button Or "Create My Free Wallet" Green Button, 4: Enter your email address and password and Your wallet is Ready. 5: You can See your Ready Bitcoin Address in down side of page. with this note: "Share This with anyone and they can send your payments" You are done.. One Suggestion. Don't Switch to new blockchain wallet. Old blockchain wallet is more better then new one. Step 6. Cry when you lose all your coins from this crappy online wallet. Don't use blockchain.info. When you set up an email address do you have access to the password? Pretty obvious answer is yes. Well with blockchain.info, THEY have access to your private key (aka: your 'password' for lack of a better term). But they use a simple algorithm that's (apparently) easy to crack and you lose everything. Just Google it. Don't take my word for it. If then, why I never lose my coins? I have use blockchain.info wallet for a year and it is not "crappy" as I can use it my Bitcoin wallet. Lol. Maybe they only steal coins from people that can speak English I guess. Do you give your cash to the guy on the corner and ask him to hold it or would you put it in a bank? One you have control of and the other you don't. Terrible logic btw. Omg guys! I didn't just die when I got electrocuted, so according to that logic I must be invincible! don't spread FUD about something you don't understand. do some research about blockchain.info and how they are handling things and how they are storing the wallet file on their servers, then also go on github and check out their source code to double check things and then say they have you private keys (they don't) i am not saying using blockhain.info wallet is safe or wise for a lot of other reasons but what you are saying (bold part) is just FUD spam. |

what the hell is wrong with people. it is gambling, you should never take risks this big. i don't know what they are thinking going in like this you bet what you can afford to lose and if you win, you get out fast before losing anything. or even if you don't get out while you are ahead you don't bet all of the money, you bet a part of your earning or profit so that if you got unlucky at least you can keep something out of the bad experience. |

Why gambling is addicting? It is the idea of earning money without working. It's make you excited and it increase the dopamine in your brain. But in truth you will lose more time and money on gambling. The only one who makes money in the long run are the gambling operators. The gamblers will won from time to time but hey lose more next time.
yeah, but a big part of it is because of the risks, and the thrill that it give you when you play a gambling game. and that is why a lot of people still do it even if they are not making any money. the risk taking is in all of us as our part of nature. so we take these risks and what is better than gambling where there is earning potential too. |

we all know that gambling on the long run is a sure loss, by the way in the past i felt a lot confortable on dice whit 1.4x bets. I think that under 2x multiplier you have more chance to win, always on the short run
Sometimes in short run one loses badly,i've notice this when i bet large amount. i don't know why but with small amount of bets i win but when i do large bets i lose guess i'm unlucky. that is just a false assumption, especially if you are using martingale method. when you use a lower multiplier you are actually taking a bigger risk because in order to cover you losses you have to increase the bet amount by bigger amount which means running out of funds sooner. |

you should sell bitcoin at legit places like exchangers and withdraw to your bank after that, there are many legit ones. you can use coinbase as one of the famous ones that is easy to use also or any other exchangers like bitfinex,... you should just go through the process of getting verified once. Cash deposit at bank is reversible.
it is reversible but it is not as easy as you might think and since it is a bank and not a shitty service like paypal you can call your bank in case of reversal and pursue it. and the reversal is not as easy as just clicking a button and submitting the request either. your bank is not just going to give the money back just because they asked for it. |

one big reason: by buying bitcoin now i am an early adopter (not so early though) those who found bitcoin back in 2009-2010 are the real early investors who found the importance of bitcoin, and bought it at less than $1 just like those who bought apple stock at $1
you can't deny the greatness of bitcoin, it is the best of transacting money and it eventually (at the very least) replace all online payment processors like PayPal. no merchant is going to use these processors and risk charge back while they pay a lot of fees and ignore bitcoin.
when this happens i want to have my stash of bitcoin that i have bought in 1/10 of that time's price.

I just think that do not sell bitcoin for now. I feel bitcoin prices will go up, if you never sell bitcoin you have, then there is no point in you are looking for bitcoin
Have you read the first post in this thread? - snip -
If bitcoin ever reaches $10,000 per bitcoin, you will NEVER see me selling for fiat paper money. You may however see me having a shopping spree at Overstock.com or TigerDirect.com or NewEgg.com! I will be buying things I want with my bitcoin profits DIRECTLY WITH BITCOIN, not selling my bitcoin for paper fiat. Hopefully by then there will be many more options, perhaps even Amazon.com will be accepting bitcoin for goods and I can have my shopping spree there.
- snip -
So, if the prices go up, we should trying to spend our Bitcoin directly to buy things instead sell our Bitcoin. That's not about the point why we are looking for Bitcoin. The thing is it shouldn't matter what you spend your money on, you earned it or invested for it and it is your money, not someone else's. buy it or exchange it for whatever you want, and not what someone else says. Buying or selling your Bitcoin will have the same effect on the market, so it doesn't matter in the end. the point here is that if the bitcoin price goes up and especially very high it means that bitcoin has reached the adoption stage where you can spend your bitcoin for purchasing and you don't need to sell them to fiat and use fiat for that. and it has already begun, just look at steam as an example if you have bought bitcoin at $200 now you have twice the power to buy stuff from them with bitcoin. |

Hopefully it gets better, but btc prices might reach 500$ by the end of next month.
that will be much more stable than the beginning of the May. take a look of today, did not make a $500. that's why you should not have an excessive speculation. By the mid of may we shall be crossing the 5000$. If we are unable to do so, then the calculations and speculations of halving effects will be false.  what?!! nobody has speculated $5000 by the middle of May, to get there bitcoin will need a much longer time and adoption to reach that high a price. in May the price will be stable and rising in the $500 range and if the halving rise comes the price will go as high as $1000 |

From the recent price action. I think it is better to sell when the price is $465 and buy at the price of $440.
If you are a trader, yes, that's the right price to buy and sell, small profit or if loss, small loss...But if you just want to convert your coins into cash, keep it a little long, since the price have shown a little action this week, IMO, it will repeat it again..  With the current price, I think it is time to buy coins now since the uptrend will repeat again in a few days/weeks. It is currently stabilizing at $450 and it is possible that we hit $500 in the third, if not last, week of May. With the current trading range, I think it is better to sell at $470 and buy at $440. You can make some profit. The problem is when Bitcoin breaks out of this range in any direction. If bitcoin goes up to $600, you would have sold at $470 and missed out on the potential for big profits. that is always true at any price, if you sell at any rate there is always a possibility and the risk of missing out on further rises that is why it is a risky business but on the other hand you wouldn't miss out completely, you can buy again at $490 and sell above $500 |

Two Factor Authentication is there for security. This is what happens when you don't take advantage of the service they are providing in the expense of ease. This might've been a lesson for you, learned in a hard way. I always enable 2fa in almost every account I have if possible to prevent hacking potential.
you should really try and read what OP says before posting, he said he had 2FA enabled and that is why he didn't lose anything at all despite the fact that all his passwords were compromised. and that is the power of 2FA which almost all the services are offering these days to prevent hacks. |

Now these are good recommendations. DS 3 is already on Steam? I haven't logged in for a while. It might be worth buying DS1 and DS2 with Bitcoins on the next sale.
dark souls have always been on steam as long as i remember, if i am not mistaken they have also held their pre-sale thingy on steam also i saw this for both dark souls 2 and 3 http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/374320/but it is so damn expensive at $59.99  but DSII was worth every penny, now gotta try 3 |

wth Until now theres still a people who would say btc is dead. Again? When is the time that they will stop saying btc is dead. If you think btc is dead then get out in btc world.
yeah, i sometimes wonder about this too. i am curious to know how effective is this FUD spreading techniques of theirs, it is becoming more and more obvious every time why they do this and everybody should know it by now. so when it becomes clear that shouldn't have any effect at all but they keep saying it again! |

I wonder why almost all the signature campaigns are on gambling sites... Most are. That is where the money is. But there are campaigns not included in this thread. Campaigns that don't pay in bitcoin for example. Or for ponzies. But don't know if someone made a list for them like this. And they probably don't pay too well. it is not only because of money, in my opinion it is mostly because these services are new so they want to get the maximum exposure to bitcoin users all in one place and in the cheapest way possible. and these days it looks like everybody wants to create a new gambling site (mostly copy paste) dice and get in on the wagon. |

you cannot predict the price like this because an increase in percentage of people using bitcoin only means price rise but how much is not going to be clear since the price is also being controlled by other factors. so you can only be sure about the rise itself.

PayPal is accepted in more online stores at the moment. Both is the best option I guess.
You are right that Paypal is accepted in more stores and bitcoin have very less facility for online shopping in many countries like as Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, i think bitcoin will be a famous currency and both will best for online shopping PayPal is not a good option at all. it is only a popular option, there is a big difference here. PayPal is popular because it has been around for a very long time and it is using fiat which people are using to purchase stuff these days. but it is not good at all when compared to bitcoin. especially since it has charge back which is causing a lot of fraud. |

my strategy in gambling these days only consists of gambling with what i can get for free, this means claiming faucets on the gambling sites or if i can get my hands on any promotional giveaways that would be awesome but they are a little hard to come by these days.

Thats the sad destiny of anyone who thinks he can beat the house in the long run, unfortunately no one can beat the house in the long run as they have the house edge, which in the long run it will come into play and making the gambler lose. There are very few lucky people called a whale who can be lucky and win a big jackpot, this percentage is less than 0.001% unfortunately. No official statistic just my thought.
that's true, it has already been proven by time. nobody can beat the house in the long run because it is not possible, maybe it happens once but that would be dumb luck and that is something none repetitive. history shows that all these casinos (the house) are profiting which means people are losing! |
