Well here is my take on the current situation:

I stopped using faucets a long time back - I have my own studies, work and earnings to spend time on, not kneel before some tap where dust accumulates.

However Cetobeto was one of my favorites and I hate to see the site being sold away like this. But what I hate even more is that the admin had similar situations before as well and though this time its the rising bitcoin price and not Adsense, Donald should have worked on the system to make it more sustainable. Seeing the site in this situation and the massive amount of spam (and not mention) popularity that this thread has gained over this week, I decided to to finally make a post of my own here.

To Newbie accounts, crying SCAM - please stop wasting your time here, you are actually spamming this forum which is already filled with junk posts from the signature spammers.

To Cetobeto Supporters - Good Luck to you all. It was good while it lasted

To Nonsense idiots out there - get a life, get a job and more importantly, get a girlfriend, Extremely important for you people, get laid in proper manner.

To Donald - I think it is possible for you to sustain the site, just needs some time otherwise it was good while it lasted.

To mexicantarget - Good Luck with your projects man.

No one should invest all their money into one sector (in this case being bitcoin). That is too risky to do in case prices fall all of a sudden and you can easily lose a lot of money. Its better to diversify the investments.

You should buy coins at lower prices, so wait for prices to fall near a target price.

Again any real life business, gold, real estate are better investments than online ones. But you have make  proper decisions yourself otherwise you will never learn about who to invest properly.

In this case I would like to reiterate the fact that till now I am the one and the only winner of the 200$ big win from the freebitco.in faucet. I still consider myself to be extremely lucky for winning that prize. I have posted the details of the win and the payment previously in these threads.

As for other people here, the site's faucet is a proper and legit one - try claiming and one day you might even win the 200$ win. Good luck to all.

The fact in real life turns out totally opposite of your motif. Many of the local merchants are not technically aware of the ways bitcoin can be stolen and hence fail to secure them - as a result they end up with robbed coins and they spread the news that bitcoin is a "scam"

Then they get hold of the person who introduced the bitcoin payment system to them and put them to jail - because none of the legal people even know about bitcoin or crypto-currency.

The fact is we need to make people aware of bitcoin first - but the explaining and trust gaining part is extremely difficult.

Most of the people are holding coins and making their collection big and sometimes selling them to reap profits. That is the main motif of the traders.

Altcoin trading is profitable but very risky as well. You never know which developer is going to turn into a scammer and run away with your money. Many such coins claim to have found the ultimate solution of all problems on the earth - those are mostly scam coins.

So a lot of luck is needed since one needs to get out early before the coin turns scam.

On the other hand there are several legit coins as well and those which are worth investing in.

Totally wrong and biased. If the price was zero then you would never buy any bitcoin or think of investing in it. Non company would accept bitcoin because prices would be low. I do not know you condition and would like to have an insight on it for sure - if what you claim is true or false.

Bitcoin is accepted in many online stores but they would not do so if the coin had no value in the market. Again traders would not flock and miners would stop mining the coin if that was the case.

That would be desperate thing to do and let alone you are trolling the OP.

Making 1btc in a month may not be easy but like I say there is no alternative to hard work and skills. If you have a bitcoin payment job or service that you can offer you get paid in bitcoin. Depending on your skills you can earn anywhere from 0BTC to 100BTC.

There is no easy way to get rich - you need to put your head, heart and hands in the proper place to make money.

There are very few places for bitcoin related jobs. Most of them are just freelance jobs and not for the general public. What about people of other professions, the acceptance of bitcoin into other industries and the consequent payment system development is necessary to bring out the true potential of the currency.

Again the question comes that if a person gets bitcoin salary, how to use it in the local stores which only accept fiat? Bitcoin vs fiat exchange also needs to be streamlined for easy conversions at low fees.

But many people are happy with the decentralized system. They think its keeping them away from taxation and hence they prefer to use it rather than fiat money.

I dont know how you got into thins conclusion, would like to know the source in detail if you have any. Do you mean to say that core development is easy? And what exactly has that got to do with the prices being volatile. Prices depend on the trading of bitcoin and how much volume is being traded and not on the system by which bitcoin functions.

Everything in life is risky - so according to you no one should live right?

If you think investing your money is not worth the risk then instead of saying that its risky, why dont you suggest some less risky or maybe risk-proof methods to earn loads of cash??

Main thing is such things dont exist - in order to make some money you should always put some risk factor to it, otherwise you cant earn decent amunt of money.

Best investment is to start your own business. You have total control over it and can modify it anyway you want. Though it is extremely difficult to set it up properly, according to me it is the best one possible.

As for bitcoins, I consider holding them of several years or trading them daily. Bitcoin price will increase in long term and you are bound to make profits from it. However if you trade daily as well, you can also make profits.

Basically the same reason why people are buying bitcoin and trading on it. Be it fiat vs bitcoin or altcoin people are seeing fluctuation and are profiting from the markets.

Again these people are the ones who are to be blamed for fluctuation indirectly if they trade large volumes of coins. So in that manners some traders are losing while other traders are making profits. It all a part of the same cycle.

People do enter into casinos hoping to have some fun and make some money in the process. But it more losses than wins and gradually in the temptation they keep on betting more and more either to win big or to win back losses - both of which are fatal and leads to nothing more than bigger losses.

So it is the fastest way to lose money if you dont have proper control over your emotions and hence it get addictive.

For me a convenient way of sending money is fiat and plain cash - maybe the person I am sending money to does not know about bitcoin, that country has banned bitcoin or it is tough for my friend to convert bitcoin to usable currency in their region. It is tough to assume bitcoin to be general currency in every city in the globe.

So for most of the people bitcoin is a type of investment and thats what made it popular - the price of bitcoin vs fiat.

Best way to earn? get a job man or buy some bitcoin and get a life

No signature campaign here gives 0.1btc/week and faucets are not worth of time.
Trading is one thing that is profitable if you have the skills and invested money properly. Specially altcoin trading if you can get into it early and get out early you can make a profit out of it. Mining coins is profitable for those who live where electricity and other costs are cheap.

What type of proof are you talking about? Do you mean to say you lost because of a rigged system? Have you heard of an algorithm known as provably fair system?

It is there on the site where you can verify all your rolls and make sure that they are not mathematically manipulated by the system and hence they are purely random rolls

There have been gambling sites with rigged systems in the past - but they we reported and got banned for the forum and negative trusted.

If you think you have proof - post a thread in the "Scam Accusations" section with proper format and then post all proofs there.

Not 80% I think it will be 99%. Every trader of bitcoin in this world would simply sell all their coins to earn whatever profit they can and get out of the business if its prices become stable. Considering the number of bitcoin accepting merchants in the market being for too low than the number of traders in the market, the economy would simply crash and it would make it a "dead" coin.

Such a thing is though very hypothetical and wont happen anytime soon.

It is not anything "clever" but rather a general idea. Many people like us are holding bitcoin and selling them when prices rise. Then we buy more when prices fall and in doing so we are making profit. Its called trading and its very popular among cryptocoins. One of the biggest reasons for which bitcoin is used nowadays is for trading because the big price of bitcoin with respect to fiat is what draws the crowd of traders towards it.

Basically this is one of the only reasons why people have been flocking around this coin and trying to earn it from anywhere possible. Traders have joined and the price fluctuations are helping them earn a lot as well. People are investing their assets into bitcoin and hoping for price increase in the next few decades so they can cash out a huge profit.

Overall its always a good investment and will continue to be so.

People who are lucky do well at gambling but I am a very unlucky person and hence I prefer to work for my money rather than let luck earn it for me.

Again if we think that luck is always with us then we are making a big mistake because luck has the bad habit of simply slipping away from our hands.

We have to have proper self control which is why the emotional part is very important in gambling. If we cant control our emotions the we are going to lose no matter what. Its important also to cash out early and not keep on gambling.
