I have a friend who has some amount of coins on Cryptsy and today he was very worried he may not be able to get back his funds from there. I didn't even know there is such a big problem with this exchange it used to be one of the most prominent in the business.

I thought doing a SEPA transfer would incur more taxes and would take longer than taking the Paypal route. Or am I very wrong on this? I looked into using Bitstamp but they require a lot of personal information I am not comfortable providing in the first place.

Is this Coinimal site secure for big transactions 1000+ euros? And can I withdraw the PayPal balance to my credit card once it's in my account? Thank you.
984  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: January 13, 2016, 08:40:49 AM
I have some disposable funds right now and am wondering if it's the right moment to buy because I keep hearing rumors after the halving the price will surge to new heights.

I have a friend who has invested in AMD graphics cards for altcoin mining and he is able to scrape enough coins to pay his rent and bills every month so apparently it is working but for how long I am not sure. If the hardware breaks down or the difficulty rises too much it will be very difficult to break even.

that is just mining, not really passive income, and anyway there is no good altcoin for gpu anymore, so he is lying

But isn't mining just passive income after you have set up your hardware and let it hash away? I personally don't mine and have no knowledge on that matter but are you sure there are no suitable alt coins for GPU mining?

Do you buy these Powerball tickets only in convenience stores in the USA? I heard this is running not in all states and you have to drive to a state where it is legit to purchase a ticket.
988  Economy / Economics / Re: RBS: Sell everything on: January 12, 2016, 01:50:29 PM
it's weird that such a large bank advices people to sell everything. i don't mind it because people will look for different things to invest in. bitcoin is the perfect option. if these investors do invest their money into bitcoin, then prepare for a new ath.

This time around the spike should be in the $2000+ region right? If a lot of scared people invest in bitcoins if there is really a big stocks crash it should reach these prices without breaking a sweat.

Working at home is a dream for many people but having a job outside in the real world has its perks too like covered medical and dental bills paid vacations and bonuses. Just don't put all of your eggs in 1 basket  Wink
now working at home is not a dream, you only need a laptop or computer to be able to work at home,
many ways to earn money on the internet, if you already know how to work, work at home more enjoyable

Yes I know that many people now prefer to work at home and it may be more enjoyable but still you have to pay insurance yourself and in the event of getting sick everything will be out of your wallet right? Plus no bonuses no free gym card no free lunch no free team vacations nothing.

Guys does anyone of you buy stocks in the tech companies by any chance? I am particularly interested in AMD because I think their stocks will raise this year with the launching of their new CPU line.

Aren't Puerto Rico very close friends with the USA? Maybe Obama will offer financial help to bail the country out of the imminent bankruptcy?
993  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Realistically how much do people make off bitcoin faucets? on: January 11, 2016, 05:06:48 PM
The amount of time you should put in to achieve these low rewards is very ineffective. You would be better off just providing your skills directly for bitcoins.
994  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: paypal or bitcoin? on: January 10, 2016, 09:30:17 PM
Does anyone know a secure legitimate service that converts bitcoins to PayPal like the Shapeshift site? I know PayPal is reversible but still if there is a reputable service I would like to know.
995  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: The Bitcoins Earning Guide on How To Make A Good Living on: January 10, 2016, 08:24:19 PM
Faucets are a complete waste of time; all the energy you are investing in this grind is not worth it in the long run. It's better to improve your skills in the meantime and work for yourself later on. Yes you can get $5 a day but ask yourself do you want to do this for the rest of your life?
996  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you actively spend your bitcoins? on: January 10, 2016, 10:27:34 AM
Any time I get around $50 I cant help myself but spend it normally on a new game or keyboard this month.

I was like you but then I decided to put that lying around bitcoins to work their magic and turn into more later on. If you have free capital why don't you just hold onto it and see what the future has in store for you?
997  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: January 10, 2016, 10:13:09 AM

I changed my mind so if you have 500-1000BTC in the near future can result in millions of dollars if the price hits 1k to 2k, so maybe 1million you can retire, but in 20 years count a zero less so around 50-100B

500 is nice amount i would be happy with 50 at least

Even 50 BTC is a number the majority of the members here will hardly be able to achieve.
In today's value this is $22500. That's quite some money not everyone has lying around or hiding under the pillow just to buy some bitcoin. It's good to have aims, but that's a tough one I think when you're just a normal guy with an average job.

You could also start earning bitcoins and not only buy. You could always just aim to stack up as many as you can. Especially if you got a job on the side, just don't spend bitcoins, only save up. You should be able to come closer to reaching your goal.


Yep "attic mining" you sell crap in attic on ebay (boring ...i prob have 5K of crap I could move on ebay) ...then you buy btc with it....

1) if btc goes tulips/beanie baby or whatever....you know have a clean attic...put 5K in fix ups (in my case) house goes up in value 15k ...viola

or

2) BTC goes to 2k someday and you have 'cleaned up"

Attic Mining: The only home mining that makes sense now Smiley (but it is so mind numbingly boring!!!!!)



What if you are renting out a property and receive the rent in cash but instead take the money and exchange it for coins. Is this an investment for the future when the bitcoin price will increase or is it just a big risk?
998  Economy / Economics / Re: Comparing world's money and markets on: January 10, 2016, 10:05:27 AM
good thing, it remind those people that keep saying that bitocin is overpriced, they apparently don't know what they are talkyng about

because bitcoin is underpriced even at 10ok per coin, i think we really need a new genertion, to have the bitcoin that we all want
I think your predictions is too much. 10k per coin for bitcoin is really overpriced imo.

I do agree we need more people to adopt bitcoin. So we can see the real price of bitcoin.

When distribution is healthy, that the real value of bitcoin.

it really is not, at 10k per coins, you will have only a marketcap of 140B which is still a very young marketcap

10k stable(not as a peak, which can enter much early) value is expected to enter in 2028 with the halving

But why are you so confident in this expected value of $10k by 2028? There are theories that it should have been over $5000 in last year alone.

If say the US stock markets crash this year will this unfortunate event affect the bitcoin price in any way what do you guys think about that? I would think it will lower the price?
1000  Economy / Economics / Re: CNN: Money is flying out of China on: January 09, 2016, 07:08:22 PM
I am not sure if the businessmen in China will switch to bitcoins but today in an article I read online was said that because of the falling yuan and oil prices the leading rich people lost billions just in January like 5-6 billions per person. Bitcoin prices are even more fluctuating than these recent stock market lows.
