Testimonies from friends who became millionaires is the reason why I'm into bitcoin now. Although the chances right now aren't as high three or four years ago. It is still very possible with the right mindset, effort and capital. Street smarts and a luck will also play a big factor.

Calculated risks is the best strategy. Street smarts, market research and luck would almost guarantee high returns. Being greedy is not bad, per se, as long as you did your homework.

Ignore naysayers, there's no stopping bitcoin from becoming mainstream. And these so-called Wall Street futurists will be the first to jump on the bandwagon. Who knows? They are probably investing right now, as we speak, though secretly.

If bitcoin becomes mainstream, which I predict would be in the next five years. We would see the quadrupling of people investing, there'll be no need to convince skeptics. The product will just continue to promote itself.

Wow! Maybe in the near future, scholarship plans using bitcoins will be available.

We have to confirm this with Samsung. Why the S5 only? Is there some chip or firmware that made it special? Or did something happened during assembly, a freak accident perhaps? Are all units of the S5 or just few hundred?

China is overrated. Bitcoin will survive even without the Chinese. Quality over quantity.

I plan to set aside a portion of my bitcoins for my kids. I just hope that central banks would recognize bitcoins so that banks can add digital currency in their services. Maybe a bitcoin trust fund or a kiddie bitcoin account.

Never had a problem convincing my relatives to invest in bitcoins. I came prepared when we had a family gathering/business meeting. Some of them where hesitant at first, but after presenting some testimonials on Facebook by common friends, they were readily convinced that bitcoin is the future of currency.

Not so fast! Bitcoin is the thing of the future but gold is the standard since the beginning of time. Bitcoin, being powered by the internet can easily be affected by wars. Infrastructure is destroyed in the event of conflicts. Central banks also affected.

In a big way, bitcoin is powered by the internet. Infrastructures are destroyed in wars. Not everyone has access to satellite phones.

Since bitcoin is dependent on the internet, first world countries' net infrastructure are the most suitable for trading. And the citizens are no longer strangers to investing, whether traditional or a startup. People in countries with good economies usually have the extra money and time to spare.

Good call! 2017 may not be the year bitcoin hit mainstream, but this year gave it a lot of first and milestones. Most notably is its current value, which is at an all-time high. And mainstream media is starting to include bitcoin in their business and financial news.

That is why extensive research is require before investing. To avoid panic mode, one must have the discipline to ride out the storm and emerge unscathed. It takes 24/7 monitoring of the trends and issues that affects this new currency.

No. Bitcoin is still in its infancy, in my country the Philippines at least. The right time to invest is now. Not tomorrow, NOW! It is always the right time to do the right thing. There's no stopping bitcoin from becoming mainstream. Don't get left behind.

Fear of the unknown is what keeping people from investing in bitcoins. Having it included in college or in short course vocational school would greatly help. Parents can learn from their kids.

Not only on TV, but also in radio and print media. That would really give skeptics a reason to change their views on titcpin. Even non-techie would get to know the existence of this new currency. Movies and documentaries would follow and bitcoin will become mainstream.

I guess the reason for the recent price increase is due to the rising awareness of bitcoin. Skeptics are starting to believe that bitcoin is not  just a fad. Even without coverage from mainstream media, bitcoin is making waves.

It's purely for financial gain. Bitcoin is tailor-made for me. Not much of a techie but with google and some assistance from friends. I was able to become some sort of a resident bitcoin guru in the office.

That I ignored it when it was presented to me by a friend two years ago. Like they said, better late than never. Now that friend of mine has already earned hundreds of thousands.
