I don't believe in bitcoin death, as I see OP just started meaningless argue about something that have very low chances to happen. I think btc will not die that easily, and fast. With so many active users I think we can grow more.
Lets not make ridiculous predictions and concentrate on something more better. Bitcoin is here to stay and many people think same as I do.

We still didn't see effects of this halving, and it looks lime many of us here eas wrong. Almost everyone expected higher then 800 $ this time, but looks lime price is stabilized around 650 $.

I think its hard to predict price 4 years from now, if we see more then 1500 $ i think that would be good, I don't know how much people expect btc to tise, where is the limit of your predictions. Crazy and fast rise is not for kong run, its better to have steady rise over the years in my opinion.

What a headline, are people really expected price to explode in once second after halving. And when people wake up today to see price over 2000 $ ?
You are senior member and you still don't understand things around. I could expect from some newbie to talk like that, and not some higher ranked member. Big things doesn't happen over night, how many times someone need to explain to you.
I don't even understand what people wish from bitcoin, to cost more then 1500 $? And when we get there, people will wish to cost 3000 $..never truly satisfied.

Sit down, think again, and again, and have patience. What you people wish is fairy tale, or some sci-fi movie. Do things like you always do, don't you wait for price to go to the moon.

"the endless print cycle is a joke" this is so true. I don't see where this world is going with constantly printing money, one that fiat system will explode.
I think money is on everyone's mind, we can trust in fiat or not its the same, we need it for comfortable life.

That is one of the reasons why bitcoin have big potential, and I believe some altcoins will follow btc. There is to much printed money in wrong hands, we need some balance and with blockchain that is more possible then with fiat.

My country is a bit slow with accepting bitcoin, many people around me never heard for bitcoin or blockchain. Some people show interest when I`m talking about bitcoins, others are suspicious, asking me how much real it is, is that really exist, can they spent this coins for somethin.For me bitcoin is present in every day, I`m earning coins, trade with coins, gamble with coins. I think one day I will be able to even spend bitcoins in other ways, like paying for different things, and buying everything I need with bitcoins.
Even I suggested btc to everyone around me, almost nobody show a big wish to follow me, or to join btc community. I think many are too lazy to do anything, and they wish big money fast and without investments, without slowly progress. Maybe situation will change, I`m here to help anyone who wish.

Is it right to ban gambling?

17 votes for NO!
13 votes for YES!

I think this result show what kindof opinion people have here. And my vote is NO, I don't see a reason why would someone forbid gambling. This just shows how many crazy people live in this world. Not just crazy, stupid also. And how to fight against stupidity?
I feel sorry for you guys there, I hope this will not happen. And if its happen I hope you will find a way to continue to do what you like!

Work is only good answer on this question. Steady and safe income can nust be achieved here on signature campaigns, and if you find some work (try service section). Everything else is a risk, and your income will depend from many things.
I think if you are rich you can think about opening some site, and if you are find something interesting for people you can count on some steady income, normally its not easy and cheap to do.
Better try to find some work,and build your rank here. If you are rich you can try to invest in something.

I'm losing coins on gambling all the time, and sometimes wrong decision for trading made me lost something. I borrowed coins many times, and sometimes people didn't return me that coins.
It's happened before, and now its happen from time to time. I'm learning to be more careful with my coins and I can say that im better now then before.
Shit happens all the time, and I'm not blaming anyone except myself for losing coins.

Its around 650 $ this days and this is just warming up probably. People expect to much and then they don't see little things around them. Big things doesn't happen over night, so relax a bit and have a patience.
I know there is always possible some big surprise to happen, good or bad. But logical is btc to rise, and I believe that bitcoin have enough power to rise a bit more and stay there. Everyone is making predictions about this event, and soon we will see what will happen.

I don't think investing in mining sites is a good idea at all, no matter if its legit or no. Simply its cloud mining and we all know what can happen with cloud mining services.
Anyway to answer your question, better is to wait with that investment. Now we expect price to rise, and if price rise a lot cloud mining services will be in a problem. That can ruin some service and cause of that is better to wait halving to pass and situation to stabilize.
This is safe way in my opinion, less profit I know, but safer for many reasons. Everyone can try to risk a bit, and that is not so safe way, lot of risks but profit is much higher. Choose what you feel is best for you.

People are optimistic and that is a good thing, to many big expectations doesn't mean that we bitcoin will crash. People just have positive experience in the past, and now they are just showing faith in btc. I understand why people have such high opinion about bitcoin, for many of us bitcoin is savior and we don't see bitcoin just like a tool to earn money. Bitcoin is growing currency and people believe that will rise much more.
Maybe bitcoin will not go to the moon, but for sure we will stay where we are at least. And for now price is pretty solid, if we see other altcoins I see a big potential in blockchain technology, that why people have faith. Just more people to hook up like we did and btc will grow for sure.

I believe in bitcoin, I invested my time and energy and it paid off. What more I'm enjoying in bitcoins more then ever, and I think everyone of us have opportunity to make some nice money. Depending from how much is someone rich, holding can be shorter or longer in either way people are earning and have fun.
I think bitcoin is proved that we can trust in crypto currencies, and that we can make some real money with it, and buy real things with it. Trust is earned with all this years behind us in my opinion, now for people is much easier to buy coins then before.

We can just guess why they still didn't accept bitcoin as payment method. If I can guess anything I would say its cause bitcoin is not stable currency and cause still many people didn't hear about bitcoin. Bitcoin need to become much more present in this world and among the people of this world. Of course there is always a question of bitcoin used for illegal purposes. There is many other reasons for sure, but I think over the time that will change. Bitcoin is more present now then 5 years ago, for 5 years we can expect even more people to be familiar with bitcoin and blockchain. Community is growing and that will make Amazon to question their decision.

I wonder did you hit that bet yet? Its look like you know some places already, and I assume that you tried to hit this bet.
I think its to much work needed for this, and how much times can someone hit this bet in period of one month? How much can someone expect to earn with this strategy?

I would like OP to update this thread and inform us about his experience. I would like to see OP's progress.

I know some people that have more then 60 years, and they are earning bitcoins. They are using different faucets, some of them are buying coins and trading, some of them like to play dices. I have them for friends on my fb account, so I know. I meet them on different bitcoin related sites.

Bitcoin coin doesn't have age barrier, everyone can find something interesting. We have some threads about how can kids earn bitcoins, so normally old people can earn also. Well they are older then me, but I would like to think that someone is old how much old he feels. So lets feel young for ever and maybe we can stay young.

Is anyone really think that we can expect civil war in America? I agree with fact that is better to buy bitcoin now and wait for some big rise, but I don't see possibility for this civil war. Its America, crazy things happen there, and I don't think some civil war will start there and that will drop worth of dollar. I see connection that btc can rise a lot in such situation, but I think you are thinking to hard about it. America have to strong police, military and million other agencies, and they will not let civil war to start. System will ruin every attempt of revolution, and for me that is a fact.
How Americans say in movies : "every news last 48 hours" I don't think this will last much more.

We share same opinion, at least people who are in this community for some time already. Gambling and trading sites are much more trustful then some other services that offer high and fast profit. At least with gambling and trading we know our odd`s and risk`s, and we know that our money is safe there and if we win something we can withdraw it, which is not the case with pozni sites.

I also think there are some really awesome sites, with very nice interface, easy to use. Different possibilities, and many different ways for us to try to make some profit. People should invest more in gambling and trading then all other services online at the moment.

The one you follow mostly, and you know mostly. Even that doesn't make sport betting 100 % safe, just to be clear, but for sure you have more chances if you know more about sport you betting, teams and players that play, their history.
I know people that bet on statistics, they don't follow sport games, they just take a look in statistics history and from that they chooses on what to bet.
I like to bet on football mostly, basketball and tennis sometimes, but I put bets on other sports when I see something interesting for my taste.

Bitcoin is dies every month at least once, and sometimes btc dies several times every month. And I need to admit when I see some thread like this one, I ask my self how much can it last? When will it really die? This kind of threads wake up suspicion in my head, and I start to think about the end also.
I hope that will never happen, and I cant see any reason for that to happen. I`m aware of big players in this world and how big mess they can make if they wish, but btc is going up. Rising slowly and steady, he defies to everyone who wish to see him down.
I believe this kind of topics are being opened by people who lost money on trading, and now they think it will go down much more. 

I will not sell or buy, I`m just doing same thing I always do. Halving is important day for bitcoin, and in my opinion price should rise in next few months, of course its just my prediction, optimistic one. Cutting block rewards will decrease income, and in economy when that happen and demand stay the same price should rise, I expect demand to increase in next few years, so its logical to assume that price will go up.
I`m exited that I`m part of all this, and for me its good as long btc have a high price. I think 2 my monthly salaries for one btc is high price, but its again just my opinion based on my experience.
We will see, halving is very close, I believe few months after halving we will see how much is bitcoin strong currency.
