If it was not risky then it wouldn't be reward and you wouldn't ave chances to get rich.. Also there are no real risks in the long term, we will solve all the problems thanks to Lightning and improvements like segwit, all of those scaling problems are just FUD.

It's going to be great, I can't wait to see what happens in the webpage, I hope that im still awake and im not sleeping once the last block is mined and the halving is complete. Don't forget to check the webpage to see what happens.

Oh my god the FUD is out of control. It was just one guy, that suggested to UPDATE the whitepaper and release it separately, not overwriting the original. And he got 0 support from the rest of blockstream members anyway so what the fuck are those FUDsters even talking about. Just stop it.

I would hold 100%, everything else is too risky and for me and 99% of people is simply too hard to make 10 BTC on this day and age. Price too high to invest near that much money.

Yes, this is my favorite forum because it's a very simple forum, you can browse it securely without not even needing javascript on, also a lot of the core devs are active on the forums and will reply to your posts. And the signature campaigns are doing god's work to spread Bitcoin across more hands.

I think I have some of this coin somewhere in the wallet, but im too lazy to download the blockchain and it's probably slow as fuck to download the blockchain in some unknown alt. Is there any way to access my wallet.dat without having to sync the entire blockchain?

I have seen a picture with Vitalik Buterin and the Waves guy, Sasha something, together so im guessing they are friends. Let's just hope that they do not end up both going through the hell of money being drained from smart contracts.

Sadly I think the smart contract technology will keep damaging those projects because its too easy to make mistakes when programing those things.  I would go all in on BTC if you are holding any alts.

In 10 years most paper bills will have disappeared by now. In 20 years young people will not know what the fuck a paper bill ever was, they will be born and raised in the digital payments world. Bitcoin will shine by then, once they realize its the only pro-freedom money available.

Signature campaign don't pay enough. Study and get a real job, everything else requires too much luck and talent too to excel and get rich. If you don't have anything special to offer then you are stuck in the rat race like 99% of people out there.

Only an insane man would leave Bitcoins outside of his own hard disk in 2016, the only exceptions being paper wallets and specialized devices like Trezor or Ledger Nano which is pretty cool.

But please do not leave your BTC in exchanges, the catastrophe is unavoidable then.

People doesn't understand Bitcoin, so it's very frequent that people hate what they don't understand. You can't blame them tho, most people are ignorant and don't now what's good. They should do some more search before deciding something is worth hating.

Hold on to your coins, we are already seeing an rise in the price, it's only beginning. Im pretty sure we will reach 700+ again and this time we will keep rising.

I bet everyone that downvoted that video are sore losers that lost their money on the DAO thing. Im glad that I didn't end up risking a single satoshi, Bitcoin is too valuable to get in those shitholes and losing a single satoshi is always painful if you know the true value of Bitcoin in the long term.

As far as I know, you cannot do this. In order to trade crypto to fiat, you need to give your credentials to the exchange, otherwise they will not let you sell for fiat (im not even talking about fiat deposits or withdraws, but selling BTC for fiat, then going fiat to BTC again).

With USDT, you can create a Poloniex account, enter some fake name and location and start tradding with a crypto that is pegged to the USD, that's the point. I don't think you can do this unless you give real data to the exchange if you want to do it with real fiat, including ID scan and so on.

Indeed, Bitcoin is the only solid blockchain, all of the rest are struggling to get on Bitcoin's level. And the more time it happens with Bitcoin surviving as number 1, the more solid the project becomes and the harder it will be for it ever going away.

If we reach 10th anniversary in top shape we will confirm that Bitcoin is here to stay for at least another 100 years.

Are you sure? How do you even know how many dollars there are in circulation? That seems like nonsense to me. Where can I learn how exactly the pegging mechanism work?

I think someone intended to do something like this in the past (a crypto pegged to dollar) and it was a disaster. I forgot the name of the project .

This one seems to be doing good so far tho.

Yep nubit must be the one im trying to remember. So I wonder how this time will be different with USDT?


What does DEX mean?

It's a gamble. Im sure that if I sell trying to trade the market, I will wake up with a bigger price than I was expecting and instead of a correction it keeps rising and I miss a ticket to the moon, so I will just hold it.

Btw, this is a good song for the thread:

I don't earn much per day. I have been away from posting regularly, so barely anything since the signature campaign was the only way I got some guaranteed daily Bitcoins. I want to come back to posting more regularly tho.

That is indeed, the case. You can find this in Poloniex, I don't know if they are in any other exchanges, but probably Poloniex is the best way to go since they have a decent volume. Last time I checked it was about 300 BTC, so it's decent unless you aren't a whale.

My fear is in fact that a whale decides to take a big dump and crashes the USDT market losing the peg with the dollar.

I think its a good idea tho, because who wants to give credentials to exchanges.

For all I know, im still trying to understand how in the hell is ETH and DAO going up while BTC is going down. This makes absolutely 0 sense no matter how you look at it.
