1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: About to buy my 1st Bitcoin on: December 05, 2015, 01:14:45 PM
Finally!  I have found an easy way to buy bitcoin.

Someone introduced me to coinbase.  I signed up to it and i entered my banking details.

I uploaded 400 dollars to my usd account, and now i am finally going to purchase my first bitcoin.

I am very happy about this.  It's about time i can easily buy bitcoin from my bank,


So my question is:   Once i buy my first bitcoin, what exactly do i do with it?


Do i leave it in my coinbase account?  Is it safe there?

Or do i transfer it to my desktop computer?


I'm not familiar with this yet.   I plan to always keep a balance of 1 bitcoin in my account for 5 years to 10 years,

the rest of the bitcoin i buy i will spend online.



What is everyone's advice?   

Don't do it brother!

thats exactly what im asking...   how do I make MY bitcoins MIne, permanently unless I spend it?
Without private key, no one can spend it hence, Bitaddress.org or Electrum (paper wallet or desktop clients). Shared wallets do not allow users to control their private key or have knowledge of the private key and is hence unsecure.

Im liking what I hear about electrum...  Thanks guys, very helpful

Ah, I see - Thanks for clarifying.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Future Transaction Fees on: November 22, 2015, 12:08:33 AM
Since the BTC transaction fee is 0.0001 BTC, here are what transfers will cost in the future:

$1,000 per coin = $0.10 transaction fee
$10,000 per coin = $1.00 transaction fee
$100,000 per coin = $10.00 transaction fee
$1,000,000 per coin = $100 transaction fee

Honestly, if Bitcoin goes to the 6-7 figure mark, I don't see how people would be willing to pay these fees.  Especially for everyday transactions.  And considering there aren't enough Bitcoins for everyone in the world to own even a tenth of a coin. Comments?

Do they charge you to order one?  I have an account with Coinbase, is it free for us to get?
16  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: In 2015, faucets are bad for bitcoin on: November 21, 2015, 03:58:20 AM
Faucets are now a revenue generator for faucet owners, rather than 'giving away' bitcoins for people to experiment with.  All of them have Adsense on them, and I think Google will probably crack down on that because lots of them promote forced or fraudulent clicks.  But hey, no hate - hope they get their money while the getting is good.  If you have a favorite faucet, this subreddit lets you post your referral links: https://www.reddit.com/r/GetFreeBitcoins/

This is just propaganda to allow the banking system to try and stifle something that is threatening to them.  Long live the New World Order and Illuminati, right?

Who gives a shit if terrorists are using bitcoin.  If they weren't using it, they'd be using something else.  American Dollars probably...  There are videos of Rumsfeld shaking Bin Laden's hand.  Its all a system of using fear to keep control.  Puppetmasters are at the helm.

Even if you are 13, the vast majority of these bitcoin casino websites don't require age verification.  In my experience, I've only encountered verification with Bovada/Bodog, and they aren't really 'bitcoin casinos' but they do take bitcoin...
