I would rather use my smartphone if I want to pay in Bitcoin. If the merchant is not accept Bitcoin then too bad for him. They should get with the times and start accepting it. I don't use debit cards whether its bitcoin or fiat.

I hope OP is still alive. 50K is perfectly doable, do the math and you'll see we only need a small % of fiat to reach 6 figures per BTC. The problem is getting the money in there. Only 1% of fiat would put is at like 750K per coin. Time will put Bitcoin where it belongs.

100% of exchanges make money from fees, there's no mystery on the business. It's all about getting big traffic, a big userbase and start raking up money throught every single fee they can get away with, that's all. I don't care about their regulation policies or their security, because as soon as I get the coins I put then on my wallet. I trust the protocol, i dont trust any exchange.

It's obvious XT is some sort of trojan horse, and it isn't, an actual one will come. They can't destroy Bitcoin any othe way than infiltrated people in the project and turning it out for their own agenda's benefits but hopefully core devs and community are smart enough to see that coming.

Why do you ask for paypal? this is a bitcoin forum, and to start accepting payments in Bitcoin just get a Bitcoin wallet an an address (isn't this kind of the point). To not get scammed use a escrow.
|

I will not go deep into blockstream because I don't know exactly how that will be managed, but what i know for a fact, if you think XT was the solution to this you have no idea what you are talking about. With XT the nodes would become centralized which is an huge tradegy for Bitcoin. So keep looking for solutions.
|
|
|
I don't understand how blockstream works but I fail to see how Bitcoin remains decentralized when it depends on a private company to essentially process transactions that aren't considered worthy of being "on-chain".. Bitcoin XT's result would be much worse tho, the big blocks would mean centralization of nodes. And centralization of nodes and mining (which already is centralized) would mean the end of Bitcoin as we know it.

The thing is i dont get how a WW would developed in this day an age. If the countries start dropping bombs no one will be left to enjoy earth's resources. It only takes a country to start a nuclear blast and we are all fucked.

Eventually the price will go up specially after 2021 when the next (not 2016 one) approaches. By then fiat based capitalism may be exploding and BTC may experience insane ass uptrends of 6 figures per BTC.

Step 1. Uninstall the Bitcoin XT scam. Step 2. You're a newbie. You can try to run a full 50gb node if you want, but really you should just download Multibit classic and enjoy easy point and click access to everything while using only 3mb or so of hard drive space.
Bitcoin XT node is already 50gb? wtf. I thought the blocksize increase wasn't already working. What will be the size of the XT blockchain in 1 year?

@DooMad, if Bitcoin had a 33MB blocksize now it would be a disaster. Back in the day it wasn't a problem because only 4 geeks used it, now Bitcoin is under attack constantly because it's the biggest disruptor since the internet. The fact the blocksize is being evaluated this much is because we need to do it accordingly. Actually satoshi made it 1MB when bitcoin started getting more people and he saw the risks of a big blocksize.

no I don't have 1 Bitcoin till now..but since i am sr.member now so I will now make atleast 0.5btc from my weekly savings..hope someday I will able to save upto 1 whole bitcoin in my lovely wallet
0.5 a week by being Sr Member? thats a ton of posts daily. I don't think it's viable long term. You'll get tired and eventually give up because flipping burgers in McDonalds pays more for way less effort.

I was aware on this, the fact they wanted centralized checkpoints and tor ip lists that get block is further proof we are talking about none other than NSA coin in the makings. Avoid like the plague my friends.

I'm going to be a little more realistic and say 2025 will be the year of Bitcoin. That gives us ten years to clean everything up and remove all the negative stigma from the word Bitcoin that I see in people's faces when I mention it. All the laws and regulations worldwide should be hammered out and an entirely new dev team will be guiding us forward.
It depends what do you mean by "year of Bitcoin". Maybe a good uptrend happens next year, without necessarily meaning "the year that Bitcoin goes 1 million per coin and takes all over the world" sort of thing.

I think OP is definitely away. He isn't didn't reply here or PM me about the disappeared posts. Btw, if you posted during the counting period, I would check that you didn't lose any posts as well.
Like I said before, they should move non counted posts due the posts being made during the counting phase to the next term instead of making them disappear because then we will always lose some posts during the payday because the counting and payment time is pretty random so you may be still posting while the counting still started, and once the next term stats the bots restarts to 0 so you can't keep track of it unless you count it yourself since there's no google spreadsheet.
I think that the best way it to post for 6.7 days just only last 5-7 hours of the day dont post if you think you lose the posts not counted. Nope, what they should do is roll the non counted posts to the next term automatically so they don't get lost like other campaigns do, its the only way to fairly solve it. I can't choose when to post, i only post during small breaks from my job, there shouldn't be a gamble in the last day where you may or not may lost posts.

I don't understand the hate on vrt99, from what briefly i've read he made a killing buying cheap mega and selling it at the top, so whats the problem? At the end of the day the only safe place in crypto is Bitcoin, so anytime you make good profits from an altcoin you know it's to dump, unless you really believe in the project long term and the project is radically different from Bitcoin, not some altcoin with some gimmick feature. In this case Maidsafe is something I would hold way longer than your average alt, for example.

I couldn't care less if Bitcoin goes 100 dollars next month, that just means more Bitcoin for me since I buy it monthly, and god knows if the signature guys have the decency to up the rates if the price goes ridiculously low. If you are here to hold for a decade like me, then you will embrace periods of low price, because it means whales selling and wealth redistributing.
|
|

It doesn't matter if it goes to 1 dollar if you are here long term. In 10 years anyone holding double figures of BTC will be rich and the idiots without future vision will cry for days. It's a basic law of life.

There's no way to make any relevant amounts of money unless you are somewhat famous and can move enough traffic. The only way i've ever done any money online is thanks to the signature campaign and it's just a tiny amount, and unfortunately not passive, you can't sit back and see some money money coming every month, so unfortunately I have to stick to a job since I can't think of any way to do that.
