9861  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What excites you the most about bitcoin during this year? on: December 01, 2015, 08:28:38 AM
the waiting for the return to main, and it's finally happening, i was tired of that long stagnation that started this january and never ended, with the value that was so low and depressing

i firmly believe that the price play a big role in the market, especially for the sentiment, average joe are not willing to invest in something that look dead...
9862  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So Whats the Difference when you use BTC? on: December 01, 2015, 08:26:07 AM
When we use bitcoin we don't need to give our data and perso info for third person or company , as usually when we use the banking services

this will not make much difference in the end, because you need to give your shipping address anyway, which is full of your infor, unless you have a friend at whom you can send stuff

but then he is in trouble if something happen, no escape from that
9863  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin and how it is in different countires on: December 01, 2015, 08:22:37 AM
It's sad that it's banned in some countries. It's because of criminals abusing and misusing bitcoin that they are banned

i don't think this is the reason, cirminal use more the local fiat currency than bitcoin, i think it's because the governement don't know how to deal with bitcoin, so the simply way is to ban it for the moment, but they can always change their mind in the future

I think it's also because the governments have no control over it. So they can't just lift the fees of transactions and such.

this is true only if you do not exchange, as long as you exchange for fiat they automatically have contorl over your money, and thus they can tax you easily
9864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you had to choose to put 5 BTC into 1 BTC investment, what would that be? on: December 01, 2015, 08:21:16 AM
I ve started mining Etherum. After a long time, this coin has brought profitability into home GPU mining. 1 solid GPU can bring you 10$ per week and I know people home mining in their basement with up to 50 GPUs.

http://badmofo.github.io/ethereum-mining-calculator/, profitability is ridiculous low, with 30 hash rate you have only 1 dollar per day, and 30 hashrate is around a 970 nvidia in speed

9865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in 2015: Why did bitcoin fail? on: December 01, 2015, 08:17:13 AM
It failed because we're wasting too much time campaigning against each other when we should be campaigning for Bitcoin.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. You say we're campaigning against each other, do you mean with various signature campaigns competing for space, or was it that we are simply working against each other?

I agree that we are wasting too much time with other endeavors instead of spreading interest in Bitcoin, but I can't figure out how we could work as a group to campaign in favor of Bitcoin.

he is talking about the whole bipxx drama, we are creating holes in the comunity, with the consensus thing, and delaying maybe the adoption of bitcoin

surely it's not helping bitcoin in anyway, to have a debate about a thing that in the future will be certainly mandatory(block limit increased)
9866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Did you download the BTC blockchain for personal use ? on: December 01, 2015, 07:51:25 AM
no, but i've done my backup(actually i need to re-do it because this thing always grows more), so i have my personal blockchain secured and i can easily sync after  asecure erase
9867  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If BTC makes it 10 years I think it would officially have "made it".. on: December 01, 2015, 07:50:00 AM
it's not about time only, it's about adoption, as i see it, if 1B people or 100M-1B people around the world begin to use bitcoin, we can say that bitcoin made it already, and it was a success otherwise not so much

i would say that it is remained a niche market

It only takes a small amount of people's wealth to be put into Bitcoin to start raising an alternative economy that will not be part of the actual GDP as seen by goverments, we can grow an entire alternative world of money. It takes a small % of every person using it to make the price go high as the sky, if you do the simple math you will see it. When it's all said and done it all comes down to supply and demand and supply will keep getting shorter as demand grows.

in either case bitcoin, need to sucks a portion of fiat, a big portion, if you want the value to be really big in the future

so fiat in the end will partially collapse or reduced greatly in power and more worthless
9868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How are the banks corrupting Bitcoin? on: December 01, 2015, 07:48:06 AM
How can the banks corrupt bitcoin exactly?

by offering something similar, that in apparance may look more secure, and deceive average joe, it's all about getting those "average joe" to use your service

until now it's bitcoin that need to "corrupt" fiat and steal their "customers" in order to succeed, banks can hinder this in the future
9869  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive Income on: December 01, 2015, 07:45:26 AM
my passive income is from signature campaign, through which i earn by posting it. with that income i play sports betting and earn some more i just keep the 50% of the income in my vault and when ever i feel bitcoin is low price i buy it and keep it for higher price sale. apart from that i work for real job that income is for my family that i dont distrub,

this is not really, passive, you are using your time, passive mean mining basically, or a form of automatic interest

in the case of sig campaign the only passive is with a bot, in fact there are some users that use sig as a passive income, with a bot, like Xrunner, i see someone like "copy-pasting" from another source, while posting
9870  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: December 01, 2015, 07:42:47 AM
Since the number of bitcoins is being cut of 50% every 4 years the price will be increased everytime but 1,000BTC i think are enough.

by the look of this, i would increase my buying every 4 years until 2028 when the supply will be worthless to determinate the impact on the market

for every new stable price i would increase my price, so you see at 230 then now at 350, until the price is too high and i can not add many coins anymore
9871  Economy / Speculation / Re: what is The reason behind new bubble in bitcoin price? on: December 01, 2015, 07:40:40 AM
The reason is that the manipulators of this market though it was time for a new pump. And so they started.

If you really think it is influenced by any event; politic or economic then think again. When was the price ever NOT hyped..Exactly never.

Well said. This is just another pump and dump scheme.

No news and suddenly a rise? Who are they kidding. I think many people will buy coins and then see their money has become worth only 80%

and why there should be a good news everytime we need an increase? no sense, the price can increase because, simply, more people started to buy more, the demand is increased

russia banning bitcoin, cannot certainly do anything, when in russia people don't even now what bitcoin is, basically their ban is pointless to consider as a form of impact on the market
9872  Economy / Economics / Re: The economic model behind Bitcoin is flawed on: December 01, 2015, 07:38:57 AM
and who said that bitcoin is not fuction as a currency? i can buy stuff with bitcoin, so it can be used as a currency and not only as investment, yes the primarely purpose for now is an investment

but the same was true for every other kind of money, when they first started, bitcoin is still young, not so much accepted, so it can not be really considered a means of payment for now, because of people hindering its adoption or not adopting it, not because it can not fulfil that role
9873  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which is the best trusted website to earn btc? on: December 01, 2015, 07:36:14 AM
i just invested some in satoshi dice and some btcjam, both seem pretty good,  Smiley

one is pure gambling, the other may hold some benefit, if you choose right, the retunr is not that great, but few % of profit is better than nothing

i'm also traying btcjam, but i'm going to borrow and not giving naything for the first time
9874  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The 10 Commandments of Internet Security & Online Privacy on: December 01, 2015, 07:32:56 AM
is something like TOR worth using?? Like I don't need to go private often but is incognito private enough? It's fine for buying stuff in secret i think

i would use something like tunnelbear or surfeasy, which is free and they give you 1giga per month, i think that tor is not really anonymous, and it is spied in some way
9875  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Diff thread Nov 23 to Dec 7 Set up stage- Picks Open! on: December 01, 2015, 07:27:20 AM
so there is a second peak? new rule? i would like to take +9.5 if not taken already
9876  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: New to mining and wanting to start with it. on: December 01, 2015, 07:22:25 AM
the thing about the value and the profitability is uncertain, if the diff increase too much you could potentially never roi, unless you sell your miners

if your bills cost is cheap i would definitely go for it, because the S7 has a great resell value, you can resell for the same price basically
9877  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: December 01, 2015, 07:19:25 AM
In my opinion, best investment for bitcoin is Cloud Mining..

Most cloud mining services turn out to be ponzi schemes, It's honestly not a very good idea to use cloud mining when there are other better options out there.

the main problem i can see with them, is that you need to trade to reach roi, you need to sell at some point your miner, so in the end it's not a cloud mining anymore

it's more like trading with hash instead with coins, therefore if you're not a good traders it's better to avoid
9878  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 1 BTC available for investement, what would you do? on: December 01, 2015, 07:17:31 AM
At the past there were good cloud mining to invest but nowadays they are transforming to scam websites, i would suggest to hold and hold until you find a trusted website/startup to invest in, btw try to trade.

Oh really I didn't knew that there was a good cloud mining I just heard that they are a lot of scam websites.
But yeah that is one of the reason I just hold for now, because of this scam.

there are but roi is still at risk because of diff that increase like no tomorrow, you can try with hashnest and bit-x

they are both legit and offer the possibility to sell your hash
9879  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why trading btc will make you more money than altcoins? on: December 01, 2015, 07:15:48 AM
because altcoin are less risk, and the return some time is greater than bitcoin, if you buy very cheap, actually this is the reason, you cna buy very cheap a very large amount, where with bitcoin you can not

if trading alts i recommend the minimum to put in is 0.5 btc if you want to make decent profits
playing with position sizes of 0.02btc or 0.1btc will not make you good profits.

With btc you can trade with a small position of 0.02btc and just use max leverage if you wanted for example just to
Maximize profits.

Btc doesn't have to double in value for you to double your profits like in alts.


i think that there are exchange that permit leverage with altcoin, which would be even better, because you have also a great amount of coins, and the swings are bigger

i remember some alt skyrocketing to 1k%, and crazy % like that
9880  Economy / Economics / Re: Europe in Crisis on: November 30, 2015, 09:25:44 PM
oh, this could explain why they are doing the vat free for bitcoin, to encourage more the usage of the euro, nice move europe, i didn't thought about this at first

Better sell all your EUR for BTC to hedge against this crash then.. That should be good for the price of BTC, imagine if everyone in Europe got scared of the Euro and bought BTC.

with the vat free thing, is certainly more convenient than selling dollars for btc
