Globalcoinwallet.com goes for how much? I understand you don't want to put any prices there, but it may be helpful to get some more replies, y'know? But just to get it started: 0.01BTC for that one? 

How are you able to sell these for less value than they are worth? Did you buy them when bitcoin was higher or something? Please help me understand 

Hmm, is it just me or is the website down? I'd like to see a trailer or some screenshots, does anybody know of a different place to see those? Thanks, game looks great from the top post!

How do we know you won't just run away with our bitcoins? I really love the idea, but I don't want to put money on a service that a stranger built that promised me a bitcoin, you know... It's very tempting to just run away with those coins.

Exactly! Aim high and shoot for the stars. Fuck the moon, we'll be at mars in twenty years! That's why I'm hodling all my coins. Cashing out is saying you don't believe in bitcoin. You'll have to pry my triple-encrypted-USB stick from my cold, dead hands.

Exactly. So, lesson learned: get in early (< 10 pages of comments) and sit back and enjoy. Just remember to cash out on time, that's the important part. I'd love to hear some stories about big "winnings" 

No. It's way too "free" for that. Bitcoin is liberating, not yet another thing to manipulate us. Money in itself was created to make a difference between people, though. Wealth was a really weird concept to the cavemen... I'm curious if wealth/poorness ever disappears.

You're completely right. It's only useful to generate bitcoins. They should create an altcoin which works with SETI@home or Folding@home (you know, those research-mining program thingies)

Yes. My girlfriend uses bitcoin. It's not a lot or anything, but it's something. She's very enthusiastic about it, because I am, too. She wanted to mine on her old crappy laptop, how cute 

Nothing. Nothing at all. Well, technically, I've moved them from one wallet to some others. If one wallet gets compromised, I only lose 10% of my bitcoin. That's a lot less than 100%, but a lot more than 0%, unfortunately.

Great guide, will definitely use this in the future. I should really have more backups of my wallets, and I should have a cold wallet as well (paper or something). I don't even trust printers, man. Especially those network-connected ones.

The internet is a scary place. You only need one lapse of judgement, one wrong look... You only need to forget looking at the URL one single time, and it's over. All your bitcoins lost. Unless you have multiple wallets, which you should. 

Wow, thanks! After reading this topic, coinbase won't get any business from me anytime soon. Localbitcoins it is!  On a similar note, does anyone know if Dutch banks are permissive about bitcoin?

I wouldn't count on it. It's quite stable around 250-275 for weeks now. What makes you think that this will change on such short notice?

HODL until the end. Buy shit. Live long and prosper. Yadda yadda yadda.

I think these dusty faucets should be gone forever. I read a topic somewhere about how faucets can be bad for bitcoin. I don't really agree, but I don't like the big spammy banners all over the place. Talk about wasting your computer's energy.

Why can't you convert the 9.5 bitcoin in fiat and then buy it? Can you provide proof of your 9.5BTC in the blockchain? These are REALLY important questions that need to be answered before anyone should even think about doing this for you.

This is everything that needs to be said. When I first started, did I get thousands of bitcoin? No. I got 0.0001, and immediately gambled it every time. One time, I won 0.01, and that was the start of my "bitcoin career". I got it up to 0.74 or something before "investing" in f'n LABCOIN. I quit bitcoin around then, I was too pissed off. Now I'm back again. Hi! 

Pffft, that's nothing. I'm from zz9 plural z alpha! You probably haven't heard of it, it's soooo underground and hipster and cool. Just like I am cool because I know what zz9 plural z alpha means. 

Most people don't really care they can make a quick 10 bucks? If you keep doing that, you'll get a lot of money in a very short time, or am I mistaken? I probably am, huh? 

Could someone comment on delivery to the Netherlands? Specifically about speed of delivery. Also, OP, can you send to a company like this? https://www.deburen.nl

It's a company that has some rooms in the city which are always open, where people can collect their packages. I'd like to be discrete about my smokes
