Does hoarding really hurt Bitcoin?
Nope. Everyone is free to hoard. It's really stupid when people claim "if you just hoard it, and don't transact it, you are hurting bitcoin!". What the hell is this logic? It is my bitcoin, I do whatever I want with it. If I choose to hoard it then so be it. It is stupid to spend your high quality money that appreciates with time when you have bad quality money that depreciates with time (fiat) to spend things you can already buy with it. Hold the bitcoin, dump the fiat, that is what the intelligent people do. There's no point in doing payments in bitcoin unless you really need to (like paying an VPN service for example.) You are partially correct in that hoarding doesn't hurt Bitcoin on it's own, but if everyone did hoard and there wasn't any supply and only demand then Bitcoin wouldn't be worth what it is today. Bitcoin requires people to actually use Bitcoin to continue to grow in terms of price. There needs to be a reason to own Bitcoin and a reason to spend/trade it. Yes it's true that paying things in Bitcoin you could be overpaying due to it rising in a few years, but really that's only because people are trading in the currency.

In the next 3 years I surely that the exchange rate of BTC will be higher than current but to reach $ 500k is absolutely impossible. I realize that the BTC price is gradually reaching the peak, the maximum will be only $ 10k It shouldn't be impossible and isn't, it's probably not probable though, especially considering three years is such little time and there will still be plenty of coins to be mined. The more exclusive Bitcoin becomes the more in theory it should be worth so I would think that these figures would be closer to the small percentages of Bitcoin left to be mined.

Dear members
I have a RX 470 Red Dragon.
Can I make more money if I stop mining Ethereum and rent my RX 470 for nicehash?
Thanks Almir
Why would they pay more than what the device can actually mine itself? Your better off mining yourself and reaping all the benefits. Services such as nicehash take a fee and pay you less because they are looking to make a profit too. It's always going to be more profitable to mine yourself than using a third party.

I will try to buy BTC at a dip. Could you refer me to a guide that teaches how to safelly keep your BTC?
Depends what you mean by that, if you want to keep your Bitcoin safe in a general way then an offline wallet is recommended. But, if you are asking how to keep it safe from trading, then there's isn't a guide for that. Anyway, if you want to learn about offline wallets then check this link out: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_secure_offline_savings_walletBitcoin is currently the best thing to invest in for the long term in my opinion and I would stay away from alt coins for the long term and only trade in them.

At this point does anyone even care? Bitcoin is stronger than ever with over $100B market cap and $6.2K each, without China. While it is positive news, I don't think anyone cares what China is doing with Bitcoin anymore. I feel as though they have lost their influential position.. I suppose we'll find out in the coming weeks. Such rumors are spread for a reason.
Any serious trader is going to care about it as this could influence the price and there could be a lot of people buying again from China which haven't for a while causing a slight rise of price temporarily, therefore any indication that they are going to be allowing trading in it again will indicate a good time to invest just before that happens.

You have ebay buyers protection if you dont get what you want so there is little risk to buying i see. The bigger risk comes from selling on ebay. My tips for buying on ebay though if you do/can:
1.)Use ebay case system if you do not get what you paid for 2.)Use paypal cases as a back up if needed. 3.)Pay via card and not your paypal balance so you can do a bank chargeback if needed. 4.)Buy in small amounts, there is no reason to buy a large amount in 1 go, i dont believe it could be cheaper this way else the seller is maybe a scammer - not that they can really scam you anyway if you follow rules 1 -3, it just means your time wasted is at risk.
But yeah all in all i might actually buy small amounts of bitcoin on ebay if possible tbh. Dont see why not. Depends on price more than anything.
The problem with selling on Ebay is that it requires Paypal to purchase and recieve the money, however it has been known that Paypal is very easy to open a dispute and get your money back through the dispute by doing a chargeback. Up to 30/60 days later. Which is why trading in Bitcoin with paypal is not recommended.

Have you guys thought about reducing the donations for VIP/Donator ranks. 10 BTC and 50 seems like a bit too much. Would be a small fortune lol
It's been discussed time after time and the answer to the question is no it's not going to be reduced to equivalent modern day prices as it would be unfair for those that have donated. theymos has also said that the forum doesn't really need the funds to justify lowering it either.

You don't expect people from poor countries where they don't have something to eat to care about bitcoin. Do you?
I do expect them to care about Bitcoin, why? Because I know some people personally who were struggling in lower developed countries and they turned to Bitcoin because they wanted to make money. Jobs wasn't easy to get where they were from and if they did get a job the pay was less than miserable. So instead he turned to mining Bitcoin I'm talking the days when it was able to be mined with GPU. Of course he wasn't in dire straights, he had electricity and a roof over his head, but had a large family which was hard to accommodate. I think a lot of people will be interested from lower developed countries because it's a alternative income which maybe isn't pinned to the minimum wage of their country. Maybe now it's harder for them to get into due to the price increase, especially from an investing point of view.

Not report worthy as it doesn't break any rules. But, in this instance the person who wasn't able to defend themselves simply opens a thread up themselves defending themselves and pointing to the thread which was locked and calling that user out for doing that. Anyone who opens a scam accusation and doesn't allow the person to defend themselves isn't going to be taken seriously most of the time, unless solid evidence was posted.

It depends on what happened if there's still value in the addresses then it could be possible to salvage it with the -salvagewallet on Bitcoin core. I'm not familiar with macwallet but I would suggest trying to get it to work with Bitcoin core. It could just be that Macwallet is corrupted itself, so by importing it into another wallet in might work straight off. If not there's a few things you can do in the command line of bitcoin core such as -salvagewallet.

Every brand has different stock clock speeds but it's generally recommended for the clock speed to not be more than 2088MHz. It can be a little higher but it shouldn't be a lot bigger than that. But, every card is different and your going to have to try and fine tune it yourself. Fan speeds really depend on if you are over heating at these clocks. You don't want to be going over 80c for temps on a card otherwise you run the risk of it becoming damaged earlier than it would usually.

It's disabled currently but theymos has stated that he might bring it back with stricter limits if enough people are requesting it. Your thread has likely been seen and noted and there's been a few other people requesting it so it's likely to be brought back. Check out what theymos said and the related discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2223367.msg22450675#msg22450675

I understand the frustration of OP that it is now not possible to buy bitcoin at this price. But regret the past is stupid. You better think about that in that time people sold a few bitcoins and earning them was a few dollars. This year, those who had 1 bitcoin in the beginning of the year and sold it today earned $ 5,000. I think that people from the past would be you.
Why isn't it possible? Just invest what you would of invested anyway. Sure you aren't going to get one Bitcoin for $30 anymore, but investing $30 now might net you a profit further down the line. If what a few are predicting turns out to be correct you could earn more than triple that amount. Invest what you can afford it wasn't too late a year ago and it isn't too late now.

50000$ is only possible after 3 years or later if mass adoption gonna to follow crypto uptrend. IMO price will stay in range of 5000-10000$ till end of first quarter of next year.
I'm not sure where you pulled that number from, but Bitcoin could reach that sooner it only needs the publicity and a few big companies to start trading in Bitcoin. Steam when they started accepting it bumped the price up a little bit. Imagine big companies such as amazon or google accepting Bitcoin it would cause the price to rise to a undetermined amount.

The blockchain just can`t handle so many transactions.The "Fedwire" can`t be replaced,because the US government with all it`s resources(military,financial,political) supports it. Satoshi a trillionaire?That would be totally unfair.By the way,i still don`t know is Satoshi Nakamoto free and alive? Perhaps he is in some prison or maybe dead. If the general public supports Bitcoin then that's a lot more investment than the government. We don't need to pump resources into it, we just need people to use Bitcoin. The blockchain will handle it, and if it can't it will be sorted through forks.

I'm not familiar with Strongcoin wallet hosting. But, there should be a recovery option for your mnemonic phrase separate to your password. Blockchain.info has one through selecting "Can't login" and has three options; forgot email, forgot password, enter mnemonic phrase.
If not you have probably misspell your password if you are 100% sure that it's close to that and if that's the case it might be somewhat easy to actually crack it if there's only a few typos such as capital letters etc.

Mobile devices are just not meant for cryptocurrency mining. It would take years and years for you to even call what you mined a profit, assuming that your phone won't break, though it sure will within days. No one knows if mining electroneum will be profitable yet even though the developers claim it as it is not live yet, maybe you want to try.
You probably would never turn a profit. The phone requires charging which through mining the battery would be going down very quick because the phone would be operating at it's full capacity or near enough to it. Phones aren't meant for mining, and you aren't going to make a profit. If you want to mine you need to seriously invest in proper mining equipment.

Bitcoin can't become a main stream currency because it is not structurally built that way. Bitcoin is a De-centralized currency system while the government's currencies are strongly centralized and regulated. Any government wouldn't want any De-centralized currency to be mixed in their economy. Banks have already started seeing bitcoin as a threat to their business so even if a government want to accept bitcoin, banks will not let it happen very easily. So the situation is complex and I don't see bitcoin becoming a main stream currency in at least next 10 years.
I beg to differ whenever it will become a mainstream currency we will have to wait and see but it definitely has the potential too and is built to be used by the masses. It's not what the government wants, it's what the people want. For it to become mainstream all it has the to do is become used by the general public. When this does happen many companies will want to trade in Bitcoins due to it being used by the people. I'm not saying it's going to become mainstream either, we are a long way off that at the moment. It's plausible though for a cryptocurrency to become mainstream, even if that's not Bitcoin.

Have you submitted all the required information such as identification? That's normally the reason for such a small limit. If not I advise you to get into contact with them via their live support. It could be the payment method you are using too as different payment methods have different limits. But, this sounds more like an account issue that anything else.
