As long as the unknown 43% is not from the same source, it is ok for me.

Doesn't matter it is fake or not, the fact is confidence is low among bitcoin users and it is not caused by one single piece of bad news

Your concerns all seem valid, but you shouldn't be creating a wallet on a public machine anyway.

Get a friend to buy from a bitcoin ATM for you and pay him back by cheque.

Allowed to sell accounts?  

I wouldn't mind getting 0.04btc for mine either, but would want an account when you can register for free?

Pay them btc for clicking on the link 

I agree, worst decision is not to buy in earlier, but is not too late now

OP is offering a reasonable rate, don't be too harsh on him.

Edit: typos

The environment is showing good signs. We still need a catalyst, such as positive news or another fiat crisis.

I think OP has a point. What if someone send a satoshi to that address with a signed message saying "this is a stolen coin" but infact it isn't. Would it still worth as much as one without?

If I have 1btc, I would not try to save the 0.0001 fee and make myself worry about transactions not confirming

These mishaps occur all around you, all the time. They got by unnoticed. It has to take a YouTube video on a stranger to wake you up. This is the sad part.

Mining will yield profits if mining gears are priced lower. There will always be a second hand market for asics. They will be hinged to profits.

Metal wallet is a good idea. Pitty you cannot start a business with this. No one would send you their private keys for engraving.

Things you learn from college can be learnt from books and practical experience. Knowledge wise, it is not worth it. From securing a good steady job stand point, college is well worth it. How else can you give an employer confidence that you are as you as you say, against other hundreds of applicants?

They can access our private keys if they wanted to. If they change their webpage codes to store our keys, they could take the bitcoins, and most people wouldn't know about it.

I still trust them, and they will be online again once they have sorted out their database.

Everyone should take screen captures then, in case it is down again

Worried it is offline forever? Wouldn't worry about it at the moment. No one is reporting bitcoins disappearing yet.

Will choose gold as store of value, but bitcoin as a method of payment

ASIC manufactures will have to lower their price to compensate, mining will still be profitable
