Updated payment timeline for travel tickets.

Payment:
50% up front BTC
Remaining BTC, other 50% must be paid 8 days prior to travel regardless of exchange rate at that date

If travel is short term and less than 8 days from now, full payment must be made.

From his short tweet, it also seems he is simply looking at Bitcoin as a technology which is not the case anymore, even more so now.
Twitter's and iPhones don't have senate hearings and banking commission panels.

Honestly he's probably afraid to since he just got the SEC off his back. That's my opinion.

I'd like to hear the other sharks opinions before making a decision  Grin

Great video. I hope he really did put a couple percent at that time! He'd already multiply his investment quite a bit.

I haven't run into anyone who thinks its a funny name. I think twitter would have to be the least serious and odd name, but they are doing just fine haha.

I am starting to get asked this question a lot in real life, are you going to mine? and this is coming from people who just now heard of bitcoin.

I don't really know much about it, and I'm not tech saavy as in coding type of the tech world.

Is it worth it for someone like me to put $15k or what it may be into mining?



Mining is best suited for people that
1) Want to support the network
2) Take a long term position in believing in the fundamentals of bitcoin and the belief that the coin will maintain or grow its value.
3) People with knowledge of miner release cycle and how to position themselves in the best position while minimizing as much risk as possible.
4) People that can afford to have liquidity tied up for months before getting their product.


Most new people should not look into mining until you understand
A) the fundamentals of Bitcoin
B) the huge risk period between ordering and receiving a miner
C) the technical/fundamental analytical capability to forecast months ahead to make the best decision possible at the best time possible.

most people that just buy into Bitcoins still cannot do C and lose their minds the moment they see any volatility.

the "mining for profit era is dead" statement is not true at all. Hell i even have a BFL device and with the price rise i paid for my device weeks ago. People with KNC Jupiters right now are probably laughing all the way to the wallet. You have to balance risk with reward potential and its true that most miners will probably not make you as much than if you just bought the coins.

I am definitely ok with 1-4, With ABC, B is what seems to be the worry for me just reading around, horror stories, etc.

There isn't an actual hollywood movie planned yet right? I think more people have to know what a bitcoin is before that can happen.

No, the mining for profit era is over for the foreseeable future. Buy a few bitcoin instead if you wish to take the risk that it will keep rising.

That's what I assumed.

I have a good stash at different buy in points, and recently got back into a buying spree and I think because of my buy in points, I haven't been as keen on looking into mining.

From Bitcoin Foundation:

Quote from this article: http://www.coindesk.com/whether-bitcoin-needs-regulators-going-regulate/
And then, of course, there’s the idea of tying bitcoin addresses to identities, as proposed by Coin Validation. The Foundation itself is unimpressed with the whole idea of making coins more identifiable.

“The Bitcoin Foundation does not support the use of money for identity tracking,” said spokesperson Jinyoung Englund this morning, hours before the Senate hearing started.

that's what im starting to gather as i search around more and more.
most fun is playing the game / gambling ones.
i guess it comes down to making the 700$ investment.

That would be up to you. But $.50 of bitcoin if BTC multiplied 100x in value your $.50 would only be worth $50

This is how I feel. People feel that BTC will go up in value hundreds of times, meaning that what we get now is worth a lot more. Faucets used to give full Bitcoins, for example. Then went down to partial, then to mBTC, then to parts of mBTC. Discounting ANY of a deflating currency is a bad idea I think. After all, there will NEVER be more than 21 million BTC, meaning the more pieces you have, the more you hold of something that will never increase in number.

FWIW, if you're doing faucets, you can hit up the Bitcoin faucet rotator to make the process much faster and easier than doing each one manually. It won't get you rich or anything, but it helps trivialize the process.

Exactly, because the supply is finite. Of course still all a risk even if you put $700 and get 1 bitcoin out of it. But with every little multiply of bitcoin value, it increases so much more depending on what you have.

Selling through smaller exchanges and the community would be your best bet I imagine if you want to stay away from large organized exchangers that require documentation.

Treat faucets as a way to get involved with the currency, not as a way to profit. However, I imagine you wouldn't be disappointed if you were one of the first people to use a Bitcoin faucet where you would get more per "usage".

Yes now that was when Bitcoin faucets were handing out BTC that's worth a lot of money today!
