682  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 7 years ago... you could have earned almost $15,000 at today's value in 3 sec... on: June 04, 2017, 06:35:01 AM

If you read through my post history here on bitcointalk. You will see I did a simple task of signing up under someone's referral link to DropBox for 5 BTC.

It is very crazy to think about.

They want a $1 billion valuation but they're struggle so bad with customer support. They need to fix a few things before that sort of recognition and responsibility.

Theoretically possible but everyone would know about it. Their wealth is held in MicroSoft and FaceBook shares once they sell it will send red flags in the tech world.

There is a Augmented Reality game using Blockchain coming out very soon that had a successful ICO. It's called Augmentors. It uses your phones camera to generate live character battles with other players - I don't know about GPS usage.

Even if that game is out there - you can create your own game with your own crypto, designs, ideas etc.

Heard the stories time and time again and will still get more new ones. Even for me I didn't get exactly rich but the extra wealth has made life way more comfortable.

Russia is going to make their own crypto. And you know who's going to own most of the coins.

Go to computer settings and remove the tick for "allow remote connection to this computer". you could also go to advance firewall settings and check out all the incoming and outgoing ports allowed through your firewall. on screen keyboard is only good when a website is providing you with the option and not you just opening the default on screen keyboard. But I don't know what you need saving from in the first place?
If anyone is recording your screen then you should open task manager and record the graphs and charts of Network/HDD/CPU/Memory and see when and where something unusual happened like a port opened or something were being uploaded or spikes in CPU usage and see which program is using the resources when you are trying to insert password.

I found this to be very useful.

Thank you!

Everyday is Bitcoin day.

In all seriousness though if we do this we should have a hashtag and get it trending on social media.
690  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Next big thing? on: June 04, 2017, 02:20:38 AM

I actually believe LTC is going to jump up high the same manner ETH did a few months ago.
691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: June 04, 2017, 02:10:39 AM

Bitcoin is the mechanism that will propel millions and millions of people out of poverty. It has changed the world and will continue to do so.

Roger, is that you?
693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are You Holding On To Your Bitcoin? on: June 04, 2017, 12:05:28 AM

I am going to hoard and hold as much BTC/ETH/LTC as I can.
694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: if you are just investing in Bitcoin now, you're an early adopter or innovator on: June 03, 2017, 10:12:26 PM

In other terms if Bitcoin were to reach just 10% of the market capitalization of what people are doing on the foreign exchange - would be talking trillions worth in USD. Also consider that the foreign exchange itself grows and population rise is not slowing down either. Once we start talking about more and more people on the internet with technological growth - woooo - as some people might say this is "just the tip."
695  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: User beautifully lays out the reason for the Bitcoin stalemate on: June 03, 2017, 09:50:30 PM
1.  Most Core developers don't support UASF, so the "threats" you talk about don't actually exist unless users end up supporting it and pushing the hashrate over to the new chain.

2.  When some people believed that BU was imminent and they were discussing it, they claimed that it would be an "altcoin", and that it should not be called Bitcoin but something else (sometimes with annoying buzzwords like BU-coin and Chinacoin, but let's ignore that).  Claiming that SegWit should be called something different is pretty much exactly the same and is illogical - both the old and new chain would be Bitcoin, but the one which we would typically consider Bitcoin is whichever one ends up being the majority chain.  If the old chain is still significant, it would be called "Bitcoin Classic" or something, just like ETC.

This.

Also I find /r/btc very agenda driven and propaganda-like. I believe they're all Wu's and Ver's minions who have been blocking progress for a very long time. Many have suggested that there is evidence these guys profit largely from ASICBOOST. And the UASF-SegWit deployment will squash it.
696  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: if you are just investing in Bitcoin now, you're an early adopter or innovator on: June 03, 2017, 11:08:30 AM

I learned about Bitcoin 2011 but even today in 2017 I am telling people we're still in cryto infancy. One way of thinking about this is if you save up for one whole Bitcoin mathematically in absolute certain terms you could only be 1 out of 21,000,000 people who own a Bitcoin. Well it goes deeper since we know only 16,367,963 Bitcoins have been mined at this very moment. So you could be 1 out of 16,367,963.

But... it goes a little deeper.

Out of 16,367,963 Bitcoin holders, some very lucky people hold 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100, 1,000 or more...

Deeper... some people lost their wallets, hard drives, or died holding Bitcoin...

If 100,000,000 people learned about cryptocurrency and tried to acquire a whole Bitcoin - the price would be insane. 3,200,000,000 people will have access to the internet by the end of this year. There's 7,500,000,000 people in the world and growing!
697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia Reveals Plans To Make Its Own National Cryptocurrency on: June 03, 2017, 10:41:46 AM

They're inadvertently advertising for Bitcoin though if their intention is to disrupt BTC - which actually I don't believe is the case. They are going to profit off the crypto hype.
698  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What type of wallet do you use? on: June 02, 2017, 05:16:04 PM
I definitely 100% use a paper wallet. I also made a copy of it and stored it in a different location, both are laminated to be protected too.
699  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BIP148 has been deployed by slushpool on: June 02, 2017, 04:49:56 PM
That's the thing about this deployment. It is a VOTE - all of these other pools need to follow suit.

I knew about Bitcoin when it was $3 a piece. I regret I wasn't more motivated and knowledgeable to get more Bitcoin back then.
