Saving bitcoin for me is really a good thing, as the price goes up we can accumulate higher profit over time. History says it all, if you do save bitcoin years ago youre now a millionaire and i believe if you save bitcoin today, in the future youre a millionaire. history repeat it self specially in the trading market.

If you know the history of bitcoin from nothing it came now to something and that's why everyone is busy to hoard bitcoin. Once it reaches the supply limit that is going to make the price of bitcoin higher again and while it is still early, just keep on saving so in the end you won't regret that you didn't hold bitcoin while the price is low.

not only that but we are edging towards the next BTC halving
in approximately 3 years and 6 hours  Wink which may or may
not have an effect on value, check out the site > http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/

but in my reckoning it should be something to save BTC for

should it be something to consider, what do you think?

I wonder would the majority be destined for Japan and China?
following the recent news about the new OKI bitcoin ATM's
that are/were destined predominantly for China.....

If the 1,000,000 units is a legitmate number then it would make sense?
7063  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will people start moving their savings to Bitcoin in case of a financial crash? on: June 12, 2017, 02:29:23 PM
I think more and more people are buying into BTC and crypto
but I'm not so sure everyone is in it in case of a financial crash
or security for the future.

Sure there are a number of people who are in for the long haul
but I think personally that there are quite a lot of ordinary people
in at the moment for the "get rich quick" deal.
7064  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: cheap long term crypto currencies on: June 12, 2017, 11:33:55 AM
I think the cheap coin for longterm is the dogecoin the price of dogecoin is 100 satoshi plus and I believe after few months maybe the price around 500-1000 satoshi and if this happen your money become 5 times more. They have many cheap coin in the exchanges site you can make research so you can know. But be careful buying cheap coin is very risky because they have  possible the coin have cheap price soon to become dead.

Investing in cheap crypto like Dogecoin is fine and yes you can get a reward
of 5X and more but because its cheap you will have to buy a lot to make it
worthwhile as an investment and be prepared to hold for longer than you anticipate

I would suggest looking at some of the cheaper Ethereum ERC20 token currencies!
they have very viable projects!

Will bitcoin overcome PayPal?

Its all a matter of bitcoin adoption on the part of both buyers and sellers
Sellers need to accept and buyers need to be willing to spend.

I needed to buy something on Friday and wanted to use bitcoin from
A little trade I did during the week but the online shop doesn't accept
Bitcoin so I paid with PayPal!!

Its probably a matter of time but I think it will have to get kick started
By the sellers

Online shopping payment were not yet covered or familiar with btc,someday businessman might operate having it. Though paypal can still be a choice.

Any online shop that doesn't accept bitcoin is quite stupid because there are already many payment services that will automatically convert it to fiat for them so they don't even need to touch the bitcoins personally.

Maybe its up to us as consumers to request payment in bitcoin rather than
having to use paypal and if enough people make the enquiry when shopping
online it might spark them to offer it sooner?

7069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin for Retirement on: June 09, 2017, 09:28:51 AM
I am living in a still-considered as a third world country which kinda suit me because the standard of living here is still low and we can easily afford all the necessities of life and even some luxuries here and there. Money here goes a long, long way at least compared to developed countries like USA or Japan for that matter.

It is then good to retire here most especially if you have the money in your purse. Now, I am planning to set aide even just 1 Bitcoin as part of my retirement plan...of course it is just part of the mix as I am also into cacao/mango/coconut farming which can also serve me well when I am retired.

Do you think 1 Bitcoin can be good for retirement...let's say 20 years from now?
I definitely do not think that only a single bitcoin will be enough when all of us go into retirement. I am going to keep earning and trading bitcoin so that I can have as much bitcoin when  I retire.
well if you can do that way its much better keeping bitcoin to grow more while you still have capability, allow your day job to provide your needs and let your bitcoin to be kept until the time of your retirement, for sure you will save more and it will bring fortune and you will be more stable from that time then.

agree!

I think 1 bitcoin stashed away for retirement is fine.
if you can afford to sink </> €2500 for 1 BTC on a longterm hold thats a good start.

Nobody can tell what will happen in the future and some of the predictions are very very interesting indeed!

I believe we do need to do something for the future and creating a mix of "investments" is good planning.

Here in Ireland we are facing an uncertain future in relation to state pensions
because there is less and less people employed and more and more people retiring.
So at todays statistics the amount employed in the future will not be able to fund the amount of retirees.

Congratulations to AKAMIT, antarogitsu and AK47-
and well done to bitcoinicon for being very fair
I have enjoyed working on this thread and it ends on a real good vibe!
7072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage on: June 08, 2017, 09:33:47 PM
as a long term goal I would think that SIA would probably offer its services
to the likes of google, dropbox etc.

Open source decentralised blockchain technology would not be google... at the moment
but if the technology gains more and more traction it may have to move with the times so to speak.
7073  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Simple portfolio tracker on: June 08, 2017, 10:20:33 AM
Nice dashboard and a good "at a glance" handy tool
offering a little more on view than coinmarketcap.com

will be interest to see the ico tracker update

well done and thanks  Wink
7074  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Android app i have made to make it easier to stay uptodate with latest btc news on: June 08, 2017, 09:55:37 AM
Thanks for the app! I Just downloaded it this morning and
it seems very good and its a great idea, all the news articles
in one place from reputable sources.

Yes the fake news plague is a nuisance but its up to us
individually to verify a news article I suppose at this stage.
7075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: Bitcoin on Front Page of Wall Street Journal on: June 07, 2017, 10:16:50 PM
They are too damn focus on the price and the profits and not worried about the added bonus they receive when they own their own financial freedom

for the first time, when they invest in this technology. No central authority can close your account or withdraw money from your account. You the owner

of these bitcoins have full control over your finances. The media only focus on Bitcoin when the price hit record levels.  Roll Eyes

Perfectly summed up right here.
I was going to quote the same thing. So I'll just second your comments.
The price of bitcoin is not the big deal. Bitcoin is a breakthrough in financial freedom unlike anything else.
Screw the price, I only care about the features of bitcoin that make it MY MONEY. 

its great to own coins . . . what do we do with them if BTC doesnt reach mass adoption?
trade among ourselves and create our own price fluctuations so we can buy low and sell high
like our own private game, or do we want to be able to buy bread in the corner store with it?

I know they are two extremes but unless more people get into this for whatever reason and
traders, shops, sellers, markets start widespread acceptance of BTC payments it will only ever
be seen as a tradable "commodity"

and there are a lot of milestones yet to be passed I know for BTC but I wouldnt be knocking the
interest from any parties looking to get into this
 
7076  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SNC] SunContract - Decentralized Energy Market on: June 07, 2017, 10:07:36 PM
Hello everyone,

we would like to apologize to community for few questions that we did not answer. We are really busy prepairing everything for the ICO and launch of the project. We are putting all the effort we can to start crowdsale at the end of June. Please stay tunned for more info on that matter.

Thank you for all great support you show us!

Finally I found it ; so it's the end of June, after wondering when the Ico sale start. All we've got in the first page is : The TOKEN SALE (ICO) details are COMING SOON ... STAY TUNED Grin
Well, it is a big project and need a lot of hard work to achieve a success project, because a new business model using energy sector and supported by the blockchain technology very interesting and many people expected for its benefits for everyone.

Exact date is yet to be announced but our target is June yes. We have a lot of technical work ahead of us and want to be prepaired as much as we can for the crowdsale. We have number of developers working tirelessly on a product. We want to make sure everything works smoothly and safely.

Also we are prepairing number of blog posts where we will try to explain this complex model in a way everyone could understand it.

Brilliant, it will be important to keep the project updates regular here on this thread
it will obviously keep everyone in the loop and will help attract interest and also will
keep the thread at the top of the page in the Announcements section by the sig campaign!!
7077  Economy / Services / Re: voting to find the winner of logo contest on: June 07, 2017, 04:41:56 PM
Since the first design has copyright issue, then my vote goes to the third one.

Yes I second jayce's vote as I mentioned in the original thread my Vote goes to #3

#1 MAY have copyright issue and with the logo taken from another site I cannot
see too much time or creative effort spent on the design overall.
[i dont mean to cause offence but thats how i see it!]
7078  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: Bitcoin on Front Page of Wall Street Journal on: June 07, 2017, 03:13:49 PM
Front page news is always good!

I recon powerful businessmen in general are already in the crypto scene.

My brother was talking to his boss a few weeks back about BTC
[his boss has investments everywhere, banks, Tesla etc]
and the boss basically slams him calling him an idiot and had a little laugh at him . . .
Just yesterday the boss mentioned to my brother that his "investment group" are
looking and talking about BTC and ETH [and he didnt eat humble pie  Roll Eyes]

So what I'm eluding to is there are investors and business people already in
and there are a lot more getting interested because of the seemingly
relentless "good news" crypto stories in mainstream media, and from
an investor/business person's viewpoint, there are profits to be gained . . . so far!
7079  Economy / Exchanges / Re: No more Trollbox at Poloniex on: June 07, 2017, 09:14:01 AM
Thoughts - Great!

It was probably a good idea at the start, to have a comment or conversation section
where anyone could view but lately its just unreadable, annoying and pointless really.
7080  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Saving bitcoins on: June 07, 2017, 09:09:29 AM
Saving bitcoin will surely help you achieve your goals in the future, as the price increases tendency are you will earn higher profit. I do save bitcoin for future purpose and if in 5yrs the price increased so much, we are the one who benefits on that.

Long term investment?
Kind of a problem with me because I love playing with my coins in trading or in gambling although I have saved some just in case.
We have different views with this saving thing. Some save just for short term and would do another investment in other fields.
For now, it is really a good idea to stay with bitcoin because of the blooming popularity.
It is fine if you want to use BTC for trading, investing or other personal use, just remember to set aside a good percentage of your BTC and store them safely. My golden percentage ratio is 20%/80%, where 80% of my total Bitcoins gets frozen in a corner and forgotten and I use the remaining for a bit of trading and investments. Smiley I am not doing any mass buying and selling for Bitcoins, but I'll save what I have.

I would be of similar thinking. I am storing the majority for long term investment
but there are a few in daily use for alt coin trading and possibly buying goods.
