stocks can make you a lot of money if you know what youre doing, otherwise dont get involved. real estate is a always a good investment. and bitcoin is slightly risky for the short term.
my cousin actually lost quite a bit of money trying to buy/sell stocks, i really don't recommend that. i suggest if you want guaranteed profit go with gold ( it will be slow profit but pretty much guaranteed).

Real estate can be a good investment but you would need a ton of capital to get started, so if you have that go for real estate else bitcoin is the best option imo.
622  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it a waste of time mentioning Bitcoin to friends and family? on: November 21, 2015, 01:06:09 AM
ive tried recommending bitcoin to my friends before, but barely anyone actually joins bitcoin. ive even gave some free btc to some of my friends to let them pay for coffee with it or something. Tongue
623  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you holding your bitcoin for a price increase? on: November 17, 2015, 01:35:12 AM
It is pretty much guaranteed that the price will increase,so yes i hold my bitcoins. I dont see the point in selling them right now.

Yes btc prices are very volatile so if you buy some coins and hold surely prices will go up and when prices go up you shouldn't miss the chance to sell when you make some decent profits. If you wait for long or wait by thinking prices may go further up then you will not sell any time. I sold around 480 level and brought around 380 level again.

Yes this time you did it right.But that very simple as spikes like this one are not sustainable. So the difficulty here is to sell at the top.
But with an slower increase,therefore also less volatility, getting out could be quite risky because it could take several months or even longer before the price might drop again. And in a few years you might look back and think $300 was damn cheap when mid 4 digits is the norm.
which is exactly why i dont want to sell my coins lol. whenever i see the price go up i feel like i should sell, but a part to me tells me that bitcoin is gonna be 5k+ someday so i should hold it.

i suggest printing a paper wallet and just throwing your funds onto there, and pretend you lost it in gambling. and a couple months later treat yourself to some surprise btc.  Cheesy

Can I claim, or am I too late? I don't really understand your post. Is it a giveaway, or is it just the first two? Because you say "participants". This word is only used in a giveaway.
hes giving away 2 free websites, meaning hes willing to make a website free for 2 people. but it seems both have been filled so if you want a site done you're gonna have to pay.
626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best investment? on: November 14, 2015, 11:17:42 PM
There are multiple kinds of "Good" investments.

Profitable: HYIPs
Short-term: ponzis
Long-term: Gold

These are the only ones i invest in Cheesy

They've made me profit so far.

Why about long-term investment, bitcoin not included in the list?
any reason ?
I think the best investmen in long term is bitcoin

But I do see bitcoin as mid-long term investment. Unlike gold the do not need to wait for some 10 or 15 years for a good return from bitcoin. We can expect very much decent return from bitcoin within two or three years itself.
yeah agree didn't take a long time bitcoin prices could rise
bitcoin can be used for even short-medium-long investment i think
bitcoin isnt really considered a short term investment. only way i see that happening is if you expect the prices to go up tomorrow so you buy today.

Also thers traders that make money in the short term by buying/selling trading, not sure if thay counts as an investment though.
627  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your first bitcoins came from.. (faucets aside) on: November 14, 2015, 05:40:02 PM
My first bitcoins came from Primedice signature campaign way back September 2014. From then on, I started to buy a little amount of btc every month and I have never failed to do so for the past 10 months.

How'd you get your first bitcoins (faucets aside) and what did you do to them?
my first bitcoins were actually bought by me, i remember i bought 0.05btc when the prices exploded and btc was around $900 ea. other than that ive gotten btc from gambling and signature campaigns.
628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you holding your bitcoin for a price increase? on: November 14, 2015, 05:31:34 PM
i'm holding 80% of bitcoin to sell when halving pump begins and 20% to purchase goods/services. i think everyone should hold a % for selling and use rest of % for bitcoin merchant adoption.

But I'm holding my bitcoin for the price of $10k. If this price is achieved by upcoming halving then I may sell only 50% of holding. I believe most of the people are holding for some price target like me. I believe I can hold my bitcoin for next 20 to 40 years by selling only some portions of it time to time.
I really honestly dont think the price is going to hit $10K anytime soon, even after the halfing im expected prices to be around 800 ish.

Personally I'm not holding bitcoin for a price target. i am holding it incase price does go up, but i dont really have a target in mind.
629  Economy / Economics / Re: Did Bitcoin Ruin Your Life, Or Help Your Life? on: November 14, 2015, 05:20:32 PM
bitcoin hasnt really helped my life or ruin my life. Probably because i don't as much into bitcoin to expect to get something. i only have around 2btc so even if the price goes down im not really affected much. similarly if the price goes up it wont help me much either.

Transaction wise bitcoin has helped me a little by letting me send money with little fee, and the people i deal with are satisfied.
630  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin go to $500 on: November 13, 2015, 11:48:57 PM
Its weird how the price went all the way to 500 and then back down to the 300s.
I suspect market manipulation.
it was definetely market manipulation, by who? that we don't know. but price surges like that dont just happen normally.

currently the price is kinda slowly going up again, right now its at ~350.
631  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best way to earn Bitcoins? on: November 13, 2015, 09:53:58 PM
Signature campaign is the most easy way to earn a bitcoin.
But try to do some services and selling goods is much better and safe as many users going to ban for spam in try to earn from signature campaign so its very risky
signature campaigns are fairly good, but i recommend trying to earn money irl and then converting that to get btc. offering your services and stuff really doesnt pay well online as ive noticed.
632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Satoshi Nakamoto will ever come out from his hood? on: November 12, 2015, 03:12:20 AM
He's dead.

no proof, but i can give you that if he was going to reveal his identity he would risk his life for sure

i would not reveal myself either with 1M coins

All of those old addresses still exist with the many, many coins totally untouched & unmoved. I'm not convimced either way but it is possible that he's dead.

Moving those coins would make him dead.
I don't think he's dead at the moment. He's now living the dream and we know nothing about it Cheesy
i doubt that, people keep track of his wallet addresses and if he spent any money from that, people would freak out and it would be all over the media.
He's either dead or has no intentions of using those coins, its been 6years he would have moved them by now.
633  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: November 11, 2015, 01:54:00 PM
How safe is it?
it really depends on how long you would hold it for. I would say that its extremely safe to buy bitcoin today and profit greatly in the far far future (im talking 10's of years). If you plan to invest with bitcoin for a couple of months it wont be that great of an investment, you might actually lose money.
634  Other / Off-topic / Re: Worst mistake you did with Bitcoin? on: November 11, 2015, 02:19:11 AM
well i just bought half a bitcoin when the price was at like 480 recently, lost 50 bucks cuz of that. thats my most recent mistake in bitcoin.

ive also lost some in hyips when i started out with bitcoin.
635  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house? on: November 11, 2015, 02:16:27 AM
If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house?

Ive been thinking if it went into very high figures i could cash out 80-90% of bitcoin and buy a house outright with no mortgage.  Is that even a good idea though? - basically 80% of networth in a house hmmm.  On the other hand i dont want to have a mortgage and im fed up with renting due to landlords, letting agents and lack of control.
if ur renting rn, i highely suggest buying a house if you can afford. you're losing a lot more money by paying rent monthly compared to the profit u gain by bitcoin prices going up.
636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still keep a fiat retirement account? on: November 10, 2015, 01:54:37 AM
If you are a true believer that be dollar and other fiats are doomed should you then cash out your fiat retirement account for btc, metals or real estate?

I have a Roth IRA with some money in it and I am debating on if I should liquidate that or keep contributing to it for the next 30 years.
i dont believe fiat currency is doomed, though i do believe bitcoin is an outstanding currency.

i currently have a savings account in fiat where i keep most of my money and a paper wallet for btc where i keep ~90% of my coins. i like to be split between both fiat and btc.
637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN IS BETTER THAN WESTERN UNION ? on: November 08, 2015, 11:26:10 PM
well the transfer fee isnt really $0.01 i currently have to pay 0.0002 per transaction which is like 8 cents but either way bitcoin is definetely better.
even though its not 0.01 cent, its still nothing compared to what you would pay for western union.
The picture is a lie, with $0.01 of tx fee you wait MONTHS before the transaction gets confirmed.

Thanks Blockstream and 1 MB blocks.
thats a lie, im pretty sure bitcoin transactions get dropped after a couple days of no confirmations, even with 1cent it would take about a day for a miner to pick it up.
638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is happening with deleted btc wallets? on: November 08, 2015, 05:42:29 PM
As the topic's subject says my question is what happens to the bitcoins that were in deleted wallets? If they just dissapear what will happen when all the bitcoins will be mined? Bitcoins can't be printed out like banknotes isn't it?Smiley)
the bitcoins themselves wont dissapear,if some extremely lucky soul manages to find the private key then they get the bitcoins. when all the bitcoins are mined i expect miners to run profitting on transaction fees.

640  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Which Bitcoin Exchange do you use and why ? on: November 07, 2015, 02:22:23 PM
i usually dont use exchanges because the thought of MTgox just scares me to death. but coinbase has been fairly nice to me, i like their instant buy/sell feature and the fee is only 1%  Cool. it might not be good for trading, but i like it for converting fiat to btc.
