Well, that is the most friendly statement about Bitcoin and Crypto Currency I have heared until now from a head of state. Good that Netanyahu knows the future belongs to Crypto Currency and not banks anymore, at least the protagonism. The enemies of Israel dominate the currently financial system, so he has nothing to lose by endorsing Bitcoins. But it's a volatile camp, what is today couldn't be tomorrow... So nothing concrete was said yet, we can have only good expectations from his statement, nothing more.

I know there are some people doing this recently. That is a very risky move, especially for those who have family, more precisely children. The profit is insane, but I think it doesn't worth in the end. I believe we must have respect for our patrimony, what we have conquered is a big achievement and shouldn't be wasted in speculative moves like that. As others said, better to invest only extra money in BTCs, don't sell cars, houses, lands or any other important thing to buy BTCs.

Você não sabia que Lula, Dilma e seu vice Temer são conservadores? 

Aliás, todo mundo em Brasília é conservador, por isso temos que votar nos esquerdopatas ou nos libertinos, só assim acabamos com a corrupção!
Principalmente se for um dono de banco, apresentador de televisão ou um novo pai dos pobres, agora vai!

Quanto ao banimento do Bitcoin, se o preço continuar nessa pegada, logo logo vão querer vir pra cima dos usuários com taxas e controle abusivo.

More than $4000. ROI is impossible to predict as the mining rates change all the time because mining difficult.

Equipment costs + electricity costs make this business unprofitable for you as solo miner.

Many of these people are just giving random tips that may become real and if so, they will have a nice reputation on the Gambling scenario. Having lots of followers it's easy to make referral comission and at some point, this person won't even need to put money from his own pocket to gamble. He will be able to play only with referral comissions, no losses anymore!

And in some cases the tipper won't worry about his followers, he will teach any strategy/method related to Gambling games, giving the idea it can be really profitable, then the gamblers will try it and lose hard on long term. But for the tipper it doesn't matter as he is making profit from comissions...

Some time ago a similar situation already happened. People are taking advantage from the fake cheap electricity they have in Venezuela and the government doesn't like it. Instead of kicking Maduro's fat ass people prefer to find alternative solutions to make wealthy that always end like that. Control over the citizens is what keeps the dictator Maduro ruling the chaos and giving confort and advantages to his court of drugs-dealers, terrorists and minor thieves.

There were too many protests and movements against Maduro, but seems now they decreased in numbers and strength... Third world countries blame USA for everything, but I think they should inspire themselves more in USA to have success on their own battles in their countries.

Bitcoins are the best gift someone could receive these days if we think from the financial point of view. I think everyone here would like to receive it from someone. If people around me were into Crypto-Currency world like me I would give them some satoshis as Christmas gift... Or if they were interested on Crypto technology but without trying yet, I would send them some satoshis as well to introduce them into Bitcoins, that would be a good opportunity.

Santa Claus should adopt Bitcoin and distribute it on Christmas, so he and his dwarves wouldn't have so much work on their factory at North Pole. 

What do you mean by productivity and prosperity will rise to a new golden age level? Bitcoin is a very useful currency and brings a very good technology to anyone in the world that wants to use it, but without real work there isn't productivity and prosperity. To hold Bitcoin doesn't generate any progress in the world, it's an "empty profit". It's a good boost to give people opportunities to start their businesses and start producing something, otherwise, if people just want to live from passive income the experiment will fail.

Actually the link is: freebitco.in

But that is a good suggestion, maybe the best one at this moment.
1 free chance every hour to win up to $200 in BTCs. Prizes very between $0.002-$200.

Also there are other features very interesting useful on long term, like the Rewards System.

Here you can see someone who have won lottery prize:

I think if BTC reaches to $20.000, what is very possible, it will have a short duration. Probably right after Christmas or New Year the price will drop as it increased too fast. In times like this we are now, people are receiving their 'extra wage' like every end of year, so they have more money to buy gifts, or in this case, to buy Bitcoins, increasing the demand, consequently increasing the price.

But these people can cashout their profit fast to start 2018 full of money and as usual there are many bills to pay when the year starts. So, I believe there will be a drop in BTC price in 2018, at least at the beginning of the year.

Give preference to faucets that pay instantly to a Micro Payment System, most faucets with minimum withdrawal amount (that is usually high and order you to claim several times like few days to be able to withdraw) are scam, only use threshold faucets if they have already a reputation built.

It's not the first time it happened and you weren't the first victim...

A forum member re-audited my Twitter account for me some time ago. I don't know if he is offering this service yet, but you could try contacting him:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=417655

(Also, I'm not sure if it will be free, even if it is, a tip is always appreciated).

It's always possible, but I don't think there is a big chance of happening, it's too much increasement in price in a short time period. To make this possible mass adoption would be needed. Lots of people investing hard on Bitcoin, bringing even more people to do the same, increasing the demand a lot, so the price can rise fast. So I think the question is, is mass adoption possible by 2020? What would lead mass adoption to happen?

I believe this market will grow in the future as it's growing now, but faster. Crypto-Currencies values will keep increasing and it will make people get interested in this market that is new for most people in the world. They will bring their businesses to Crypto-Currency, adopting new payment systems, making the customers lives easier. The problem is that governments can be a barrier on the way, they can start forbidding businessesmen to accept Bitcoin and other currencies as payment or they can start imposing expensive taxes to use the digital currencies, for now it's a total uncertainty.

Their lottery, you mean? Well, there are several speculations about FreeBitco.in lottery. Some people say that isn't legit, but there isn't any proof the lottery is rigged. What people say is that accounts with few tickets (low chance of winning in %) usually win the prize...

But I have seen people here on forum claiming they have already won the lottery prize.

It's up to you to believe it or not. I prefer to don't buy tickets, not because I think it's scam, but because it's a waste of money...
Anyway you always receive few tickets by using the faucet, if you have to win, you will win.

Yes, these thieves are everywhere and especially now they are trying to steal people in Crypto-Currency world thanks to BTC price. When BTC price becomes more expensive hackers become more excited and start attacking sites which hold several amounts of the currency. Unsecured sites unfortunatelly lose their funds and give their investors a big loss... Anyway it's inevitable, dealing with Bitcoins and AltCoins has its risks.

However in real life it's not so dangerous like here, you say hackers can invade bank accounts, etc... It's possible, but there we have guarantees that bank give us in some cases like that.

Avoid all mining businesses which don't allow you to resell your mining power or mining businesses which decreases mining power value within time. That means: avoid 99,9% of mining related businesses... When investing always think on long term, do the math and if there aren't solid returns or guarantess, get away!

That is the only way to make profit from faucets, with BTC increasement. All you need to do is to store maximum satoshis as possible from faucets, doesn't matter if they price few dollars today, what we expect it's to see these few dollars in BTC growing their value when BTC price increases. Bitcoin is having great increasements in price in percentage, if it increases 100% your money will increase 100% as well, if it increases 1000%, the same (it already happened and those faucet users saving their money made a lot of profit easily, I believe it will happen again and again).

I hope so to see BTC price reaching near $20.000 by the beginning of 2018. Potential I know it has as BTC have already reached to $18.000, but now I see some difficult to keep the price increasing, it's slowly decreasing day by day. However, it can change anytime and a big pump can happen again, usually near Christmas BTC price increases and I'm fully believing on it, so I don't think BTC is going down too much soon.
