Definitely, it is a free world and no one would stop anyone and mostly, they will not necessarily have to announce to the whole world that they are into bitcoin.
Most of them would not since they will not really want any unnecessary attention on themselves anyway. These guys are smart and they have the funds and it would not cost them anything to risk a certain amount of money to invest into a technology that sure would make a lot of difference in the finance sector.

Lots of people have been holding since the inception and creation of bitcoin and I see no reason why anyone should still hold for more than 3 years right now, be it a newbie or an old player in the game.

BTC has proved itself as a worthy asset which has a whole lot of usage and value and even if I will have to pull some out, it would be an investment that I know would be giving me a lot and would also be giving me so much to keep saving and holding in BTC.

Yes, almost all the services (exchanges, gambling sites and even some web wallets) are following this strategy as far as I too have experienced. I noticed like requesting small amount and hitting my addy instantly but some what big requests take time to get processed but we can understand all these are just a precautionary measurements to prevent any possible attempts.

I believe no service provider can be having one single policy on withdrawal process as they cannot be sure about the capabilities of their user's malfunctioning.

I remember there were people in service board, investing us to join steemit to form group to like/rate articles by promising guaranteed of more than $200 monthly. But no history of their earning tracks.

I also opened account with steemit and got verified but never got time and interest to be active there after bitcoins and bitcointalk. Yes, I am pretty comfortable with my signature campaign and bitcoin price levels for my leisure time, feeling lazy to try new things out of my comfort zones

Still, I like to see any real time proofs of making money with steemit. Probably that may be the force to push people like me to get into new earning opportunities.

Waves has really been sparkling some pretty big interest in the minds of investors and it sure has some huge development going on for it and over time, we will end up seeing some huge number of usage for it and investors kicking in pretty bad, so it is simply a coin to really watch out for.

Pretty sure this was a joke ;ebtc of all coins? I would rather put my money on doge instead. As far as I am concerned, bitcoin seems to me more like the safest and most reliable place to put funds now since at the end, BTC movement only affects ALTs and ALTs movement hardly affects BTC.

So many speculations about satoshi being a group of people who came together to build something great while some imagine satoshi to be a single man from Japan. Whichever way, at this moment, no one really cares, and the only satoshi we know is the legacy that has already been dropped.

I would not blame whoever is behind the name anyway cause if I am the one, I would have done the same and that would have been a huge problem for me. So it is just better going solo and then knowing that you are an unknown god somewhere.

I guess only time will let us know if you end up true or not. If you want to decide to see bitcoin as a bubble, then that is the way you absolutely want to see it and no one would criticize you for your opinion.

We all really do not know the future and most definitely blockchain technology is the future, but whether bitcoin will still remain in the show at the end or not, only time can really tell us that but as far as I am concerned, it is totally worth the risk knowing it is going to be here for a long time, before we start seeing much more development on other cryptocurrencies.

Research is always very important which is the reason a lot of small, medium or large scale businesses find a way to get a business plan or feasibility study before the embark on a project. It helps a lot when you know what you want to delve into and then with some little research, you can tend to see if what you have to start the project is feasible or not.

After cryptocurrency's trend of ICOs, I guess only our concept is important not the budget as we can raise any required funds when our concept is attractive.

Well, pampering yourself only depends on the amount of cash you have won. Once that I hit it big in gambling, I just got home and started calculating how I could make effective use of the money so it can keep growing and I am happy I made that decision.

I gamble now not because I want to win, but because I want to have fun. I never expected the huge win but when it came, I just had to make the very best use of it cause opportunities like that most times only come once in a lifetime except if you are just super ordinarily lucky.

Anger is what comes up when you take gambling as either a profession or a way of earning. It should just be a way of trying your luck honestly. I have felt those huge angers before when I was gambling with the hope that I can win big and then I browsed through the net looking for strategies, applying them and still nothing until I realized that come on!

I could have used those times to do something much more productive, earn a lot and if I wish I can put little into gambling to try my luck and see it as fun if I lose but not as a way to earn.

Evil game ? I am very sure gambling must have dealt with you one way or the other for you to have said that. There is one mistake we have all made in gambling and although not very few learnt their lessons, but few people like me did and that is never ever try to return as soon as possible to win back your losses.

Like you said, there is that pressure that overwhelms you and then your decisions become so cloudy and then controlling that impulse of not trying your luck just feels impossible but then, that is where self control comes in and it is better to walk away and if you wish, come back later on if you have more money you can spare to loose and then try your luck from the scratch.

At this stage that we are now, $7k is just a very sweet stage to buy for anyone. I ever doubt if it would get lower than that but no one obviously knows. However, if wishes were horses, even beggars would ride. Even $4000 is a stage that I doubt can ever happen unless something negative that superseded the strength of the support bitcoin has which I doubt we can ever see any of such for now.

Asides that, we might just end up having some little correction here and there and then looking forward to new ATHs every time. Also, I foresee some positive news coming up in months and I am sure those news would trigger another bullish trend for bitcoin.

At this stage that we are testing a new ATH, you may need to relax a little bit and wait for correction. Don't rush in to buy and if you feel you do not have the patience and you can afford to, then you can still buy since we cannot really predict bitcoin's next surprise move. Nevertheless, one thing for sure is that, with bitcoin, it is more of a win-win situation which ever point you buy since it will eventually increase in value with patience.

Well, since bitcoin is more of a digital asset, you cannot expect the value to remain the same and if it does, it just will not  make sense as an asset again, will it ?

One thing you should understand first is that no matter what you buy, it would still appreciate and funny enough, I have got so much steady growth and profit from bitcoin this year than any altcoin. However, if you want to go all the way with altcoins, you had better be careful too which one you invest in.

Most times, we put so much attention into trading and forgetting that there are so many areas you can make a lot of money from. We can make money and more money if we are smart. I am not saying trading is bad as it is one way you can invest in yourself if you learn.

But most people do not consider the fact that you can render services, you can learn some skills that will not involve much like graphic designs, php coding, programming, ethical hacking etc and you can make huge chunk of money from these skills without stress once you are good.

Apart from even holding for a long time, there are so many things one can do to earn passively. Definitely, you can save and watch it grow but how about watching even the amount of the bitcoin you have grow. I simply like the sound of that more anyway, so it is best you look for skills you can offer on the forum or on freelance sites and get to work. they pay, you do not have to use the whole day and once you complete your gis, you get paid.

It is really a good time to buy altcoins now, but which altcoin to buy is what is very important. The market is huge and it is something you will need to do some pretty good research first before you just end up buying anyhow alt. On the other hand, like you said, I would rather give a larger share to bitcoin, some smaller part for top altcoins, another smaller part for altcoin with a solid team and good project already in the market, and then the littlest part for ICOs.

And I would also say the list is not complete without Global Job Coin and Tio Tour.

Global job project is one that is already having a huge load of support as the team and the project has been around since 2014 and then trying to integrate the blockchain technology into their system seems pretty cool. I love the idea, the team is superb and I am really sure this project would boom.

Also, tio tour project got me attracted cause of the team's response and how much they are targeting the tour sector most especially in Asia which seems pretty cool and they are really working hard already with lots of partner in the tour industry.

I really do not know why someone would really want to stoop so low as to earning that ridiculous amount of money weekly. I will rather work offline, earn something tangible and then use part of it to buy bitcoin. Nothing comes free in this life and one way or the other you have to give either your time, your skills or your money.

How you go about it smartly now depends on each individual. Some are using their skills to earn as much as 0.05 weekly on this forum even without signature campaigns and it is just left for everyone to find how they can fit in.

It is not a bad thing to want to get a random idea from people.
As far as I am concerned, they always help. The fact that the OP had $200,000 does not mean he could find this forum as an interesting place to get knowledgeable ideas on how to kick start his project and does not mean he has sourced for ideas somewhere else. After all, he even gave $50 to the first few people who answered his question, would you have been that generous?
