if you're hooked on caffeine, then there are ill effects. i know people who chug it down, and when they don't get their fix, they get headaches.
Meh, I've been drinking lots of coffee everyday for many years. I sometimes go days here and there without drinking any, never have problems. I also smoke a pack or 1.5 packs a week of cigarettes, but often abstain from smoking on the weekends. No ill effects there, either. I think it varies from person to person -- addiction, tolerance, etc. |

It will never happen to bitcoin. Like Napster is unknown now. Something new will come into.
You may be right, but from the past experience, we have seen how difficult it is to predict future bitcoin price, as shown in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136780.0. Traders tend to fall into the 80/20 Pareto distribution -- 80% lose and 20% win. Further, 80% of your profits will come from 20% of trades. It is clear that it is possible to predict bitcoin price -- within the realm of probability, of course -- but only a minority will be successful at it. |

I'm not sure comparing to Napster is the best analogy -- Napster became a business model that was unsustainable. Nothing to do with the possibilities that bitcoin as a currency and protocol represent. |

It doesn't do much for me most of the time, but that first cup of espresso in the morning can help open my eyes. That, I like. Mostly I'm just addicted to coffee and tea. Doesn't really matter if I like it.  |

I use localbitcoin , if you can get to the seller getting discuss you can actually get cheap btc than other site +1 for localbitcoins. The price I can get there is usually a bit worse than exchanges, but I won't complain about the simple process. Reputable sellers tend to charge a premium over market price. But you also have to take into consideration that wiring money to an exchange incurs % and flat fees, and during that time, BTC can also launch. So, there are trade-offs to be made. |

Cloud mining -- I suggest not. I really encourage people to run the numbers against difficulty trend to determine mining profitability. Cloud mining has been shown to be by and large unprofitable. Better to buy crypto directly. |

If you are looking to make money with BTC than i have to say that Getting paid for signature space is not enough. You can earn a little amount through signature space. I think mining is a better option.
If we're talking about investing, I'd much prefer to buy and hold (and trade a portion to hedge/exploit volatility). Mining ain't what it used to be. Too many big operations inflating difficulty. Run the numbers before you invest in mining hardware.... |

Governments have actually been quite receptive, considering what BTC is. This is a brand new technology, a new asset class. It won't achieve adoption overnight. I think we're doing quite well. |

Nope. I watched the press conference where they discussed all their plans. Twice he was asked how much he paid for the coins and he jokingly said both times "more the the other bidders". I get the distinct impression he's going to keep that a secret. Unless the information gets leaked somehow, I don't think we're ever going to find out. That was my impression as well. And I also got the impression that the USMS wasn't going to say anything either. Any word on FOIA requests? I wonder if that could get the price public. |

now that everyone is waiting for a bubble and yelling that this is going to be soon or maybe it will start now....it is the perfect reason for a bubble to not start for a long long time, hell maybe Bitcoin is still overvalued from the last bubble and this is why we see selling pressure each time the price go up for $10.
Totally agree. I think bulls might be blind-sided if/when this thing turns south in a major way in the next couple months. But, that's just my gut reaction to everyone predicting the same thing. Who knows? I got my cold storage -- so if I sell at the wrong time... oh well. I'll still be enjoying the ride. |

Still on this old school house kick. Early 90s stuff. I love that early 90s San Francisco/Bay area sound. Things done changed, I'll tell you that. Right now, Garth -- Smokin. http://ravearchive.com/mixtapes/Garth |

A pack a day  pack a week.k or whenever i'm low and depressed (Hell that's all the time). get me a girlfriend and you think having a girlfriend will be a joy and make your life any happier ..! ask those who are in relationship , most or them are depressed just because they have Girlfriend. Huh? That sucks, but I'm not sure it's true. I'm not gonna go into details, but I've always preferred having a girlfriend to not having one. So what's your deal -- prostitutes only or something? |

I would think payment processors like Bitpay and Coinbase would be able to assist with this eventually. But it would take quite some time, I think, before most employers would ever jump into paying people in bitcoin.

Honestly, I don't really care. This is playing with semantics. If you want to get technical, crypto-currency, sure. But I don't see what all the fuss is about to be honest. What am I missing?

Can you really make thousands with it?
I'm interested to also do this as I've seen threads buying signature space. and will they also be willing to pay for signatures to other business forums?
There are usually limits and they don't pay as much as thousands, I don't believe they would allow you to cash out thousands. Also, not much people can manage that much constructive posts. Most or all of the pay-per-post programs now have a weekly or monthly limit, so for some, the gravy train is over.  Indeed, I've seen more than a few people banned (for spamming) trying to crank out posts for signature payouts. |

TA is "self-fullfilling prophrecy" and that's why it works on traditional markets like Forex because everybody is using it. In the other hand, cryptocurrency field is full of geeks and not that much professional traders, so TA is not much used - not having the same effect as it has on Forex.
Tried to use TA for cryptocurrency... Maybe it can be only applied to BTC/USD because it's big, but when you look at alt-coin field, it's so wild TA has no appliance there. Graphs are so weird and you can't see that weird graphs in any of TA tutorials.
A lot of people around here say TA is a "self-fulfilling prophecy" -- I'm not so sure. Fib levels, for instance -- you see those in all sorts of natural and mathematical applications. Large stochastic movements often also bear resemblance to sine functions. I'm not convinced that there isn't more to it. |

Sell and get out. The alt coins are different to bitcoin, I don't see any reason why litecoin will increase in value again. It has had its time.
Hey, just remember, people were saying the exact same thing when it was hitting sub-.01 levels last year. While it could tumble down some more to be sure, I would say it's pretty dangerous to short at this point. |

i bought 2000$ litecoins at 11.8$ , 2 months ago  please advise me sell it or wait ? or change it with darkcoin or what ?  It's at low people scared after darksend bug But strong and developing with a nice future may be worth a risk that or diversify holdings / dollar cost average litecoin down again/ cheaper entry cost. Ummm, no. Not sure that is such sound advice. I know there are a lot of trapped DRK holders that would love for more buyers (  ), but DRK is a pretty dangerous buy. Bottom fishing at this point, could find some bounces, but it looks like it could fall a lot further. |

I think $1 million is conceivable, for sure. But I'm not convinced that Metcalfe's Law is correct, and I think the growth rate will confound a lot of the bulls -- maybe even cause many to lose hope on the long road there.
