Bitcoin is definitely here to stay. I am seeing that clearer now that I am deeper and deeper in bitcoin and blockchain. There's development happening everyday and lots of infrastructures are built around it. So it is actually miles away to other cryptocurrencies. Ang it is becoming faster and faster now with the development of Segwit and Lightning network. Those who are saying that bitcoin is dead just want to lower the price more so that they can also buy it.

Damage? Bitcoin made me aware of this kind of stuff. Pertaining to the new economy so I think it has not given me damage at all. I am learning trading and investing now. I win sometimes, I lose sometimes, it is part of the game. If you think of it as a game, and you play your cards right, and you know the risk. Even you're down whatever percentage, still you learn from the experience. You truly lose if you did not learn from the experience.

This depends. But I think it is charming and helpful to put a QR code in your place of business just in case some customers dropped by and are user of BTC. It is why it's made in the first place.

yes, at this moment. Selling bitcoins is a stupid move. You are just giving the institution discounted bitcoins, that is the very reason why they keep on shaking the market. And because they have unlimited of money to do it too. But selling bitcoins now is a bad proposition. Maybe if you're daytrading. But if you're a hodler, keep on hodling. Because I think Bitcoin will reach up to 100k in the near future. so fasten up your seat belt. If you sell now you'll regret it for the rest of your life!

I think accidents like this will keep on happening if they are not learning from their previous mistakes and the mistakes from other exchanges. Or maybe this is an orchestrated move that have a connection to institutions. Who knows. All of these are speculations. These exchanges should learn from their mistakes or else stuff like this will keep on happening.

So you recovered your lost wallet? How did you do that? Or is this just a typo? I really wish that you've recovered it.

Wow! Reading this I feel blessed. I mean, in my country it is perfectly fine to use btc. If you earned some cryptos you can migrate to other countries instead.

True! Thank you for your insight. Base on my experience in investing in ICOs 99% of them are scams. You can count those that are not in your fingers. And those that are legit you really have to wait a long time to be really profitable. But what I do is I just buy some then when it pumped in the market I just dump it. As long I double (if more then it's a bonus) then it's a good deal for me. Then I just move on to the next project.

Well, I don't complain. If you are in the world of crypto and your tolerance for risk is too low. I think you should find other source of investment. Otherwise you'll be always devastated. Crypto is not for the faint of hear. I already know what I'm entering for when I entered the world of crypto. And when you educate yourself the less complaining and fearful you are. Volatility is just the nature of crypto.

That was indeed something. This is a very interesting story for me. Going back, reading this legendary threads just fills my imagination. What if I was jercos. Who is jercos? What would I do for that kind of money, etc. this is indeed a legendary milestone in the history of bitcoin.

Btw, this is not the very first transaction using btc. this is the publicly known transaction but not the very first. the very first happened in the dark web.

I really think that this is caused by these institutions who wanted to get in to bitcoin. That's why they're shaking the market for more weakhands. They are able to manipulate the market because they have so much of it. If you bought in a higher price, I think it would be wise to just keep it. Be a stronghand, especially if you believe in the tech.

Criminals use the USD for crime so does that mean that the USD is bad? They also use guns, vehicles, drones, etc. but those things are also neutral. They used bitcoin because it used to be anonymous at the early days. But that does not mean that Bitcoin is bad. Bitcoin is neutral like everything else, it's the people that are bad.
