I can't believe some people actually believe in such things. Sure, during the cold war, the USA supported some folks to fight / defend against communism. Yes, I think these folks are now also involved in "Islam terrorist attacks" / ISIS etc. But that the CIA is actually leading ISIS, or as you mention ISIS contains of about 100% CIA people, makes me laugh. Have you ever seen trained armed forces fight ISIS? If they would contain of 100% CIA members, I'm sure they would have a much better training lol.

This; it provides a fast way of payment to a location you like. International transactions through banks are expensive and might take long. This makes the Bitcoin great.

Besides that, I think it's great to have another kind of currency that is NOT controlled by banks; thus the Bitcoin being decentralized.

I don't really have 1 favorite I guess. But I already saw some names of movies over here that I did really enjoy.



And I can add many to that, including;

- The Shawshank Redemption
- Schindler's List
- Gladiator
- Law Abiding Citizen
- ..

I recently saw Gran Torino again. I think that's a quite nice movie too.

It's not "strange", it's all about luck. I've placed multiple bets, and I've won once.

It's all about placing a nice bet on the right pool. As the chance that a small pool is going to mine the next block is little, betting on suchs pools is bringing you huge rewards (IF that pool does mine the next block. But again, that chance is small in relation to other (bigger) pools).

Indeed. There is quite a huge shortage of payable student rooms in that city. I often work there (or in the neightbourhood) and it's really a college town. Sure, there are still rooms for rent, but the rooms that are not occupied yet either are way too small, too ugly (/old) or the price is way too high. However, not many rooms are available at this moment and, as soon as the new college year will start, there will be a huge demand for rooms again.

I think that's a great way to live (as you can see him as his own boss). Unfortunately I'm not that good in repairing and upgrading rooms, neither do I have the required amount of money to get a mortgage over now. (Since the crisis it's quite hard to get a mortgage here in the Netherlands).

I don't think he will be completely mortgage free soon (as he keeps buying new properties), but he can by selling a few indeed.

I don't think the initial mortgage is enough to cover the costs; he bought (and fixed) a house with his very first mortgage. Since that day, he uses the income (rent) of these rooms to - cover his expenses - and to cover the costs of that mortgage. And, then there is a premium. I think with this premium, he can take another new mortgage on a new property (where the very same happens).

Now, years later, I'm sure some of his mortgages are like at 80% paid-back. As soon as some mortgages have been paid back, his premium will grow and grow (and I think that's a situation we all would like to have ). Renting out 4-5 rooms will atleast bring him €1600 / € 2000 per month (per house).

Indeed. Although you will have to pay a big amount of money each month for your mortgage, you will also have much income. Other costs like elektricity, water and gas and insurances and taxes you also have to pay, but in the end it is definately still worth it. Actually I know one man who owns multiple houses (for students) in 1 city here in The Netherlands. I think he's into this business for atleast 15-20 years now, but he keeps investing his money into new houses. As soon as a student leaves a room, he decides whether he is going to rent out this room again straight away or fix it / clean it first. He mostly does the latter (if he has the time), as he is also likely to ask a higher rent.  Only in periods where multiple students are leaving their rooms, he does not paint every room over again (because he really does EVERYTHING on his own).

That man rather lives poor than rich though. Although he has a great income I'm sure he has huge costs. However, as still own these houses, he is likely to have a lot of money as soon as he starts selling some. Actually he can start selling houses now in order to fulfill his mortgages (and I think he still has couple of houses then, 100% of him). However, he keeps investing. I think he wants to make his children happy (as soon as he dies, lol).

Looking at the multiple (terrorist) attacks today, we might should expect a world war against IS regions. Sure, currently already multiple countries are participating in bombing IS, but I think terrorist attacks like today make it only worse for them. Maybe more countries will join the armed forces. Too bad also innocent victims will also be part of the death count, but those people in Tunisia laying down on the beach were innocent too.  This world is fucked up.

I think I missed that, sorry. That ain't much indeed..


You can, if you want, buy these giftcards and sell them here for Bitcoin. Like for example Amazon giftcards. Worth $5, I think you can sell them for about $4.50 in Bitcoin if that is what you want .

That's a kind of movement I experience in my environment over here; houses are bought and then multiple (4-5) student rooms are created. It works quite well, as most "student cities" / college towns here in The Netherlands have shortages of these rooms.

I really think this is a good way to invest your money, atleast, if you are quite handy by yourself (as you indeed have to fix and improve things). However, you will need another mortage to buy such houses.

Do I miss something? Or didn't you earned these gift cards and Skype minutes with using Bing as your search provider? I did reconize an referal-URL though , however, I don't mind to use it. Unfortunately I also see the message that this reward option is not available in my country..

Is there an idea about how much you will actual earn with using Bing instead of Google? I think we all use Google quite often - and even more then we do realize. If we can earn some extra presents with using Bing instead, I might swap too. (although I have to find a proxy-way or something then).

@lamaa1 Dat heeft Blaater wel beweerd inderdaad. Of dat ook gebeurd is, weet ik niet. Ik heb zelf uiteindelijk geen share gekocht van deze groupbuy.

Alright. I think you need to provide some proof in order to be able to sell these codes. We've had many sellers over here who sold Amazon giftcard codes (digital) which were also bought from Amazon.com. However, they appeared to be bought with cracked / hacked accounts. As soon as Amazon finds this out, they will deduct that balance again (and therefore the buyer of these codes is screwed over..).

Your price is right though .

I still have to start with House of Cards. Yet i've started with season 4 of Homeland. I think Homeland is definately a recommendation for everyone, especially if you're into some action and tension. House of Cards is on top of my list of series-to-be-watched-next .

Are you selling a physical gift card or a digital one - a gift code?

And, is there any proof about how did you obtain this gift card?

It does .

I still wait for some day that an bet like the last one (on Eligius) happen to me hehe. That's a great profit . Although I know that the chance that such party is going to mine the next block, is small.

I don't think that is true. I think this really differs from human to human.

I also see this in the people around me. Some of them really do save a lot (and maybe too much..), and others save way too less. It's often the latter group that have periods in which they need to loan money, as they are likely to spend all their income indeed. As soon as an unexpected cost appear, they will have to loan money (from someone) to be able to pay it..

Wellicht omdat de beloofde 4 maanden draaitijd reeds verstreken is, en het niet meer rendabel bleek om de miner te laten draaien.

The decision to wait (for whatever reason) or not can only be evaluated at the end.. It might be a great decision now to wait with buying Bitcoins yet, as the value might be -50$ in a week for example. But, the value might also increase. Whether or not you should invest now (or wait), is a bit like gambling I think. (Although some knowledge is usefull).

Is my current one still working fine? If I have to switch to another one too, please contact me.
