Historically, scammers have actually been able to fake quotes in order to reward themselves handsomely. I heard that last year, someone quoted a link to some download for Opalcoin, but changed the link to his own malware. He ended up stealing ore than 10% of all Opalcoin.
So yes, you are allowed to forge quotes. Be wary when reading friend.

Ask anyone who has bought in since the end of 2013 if holding is a good way to make money.
Statistically, I believe only a small minority of long term investors are seeing profits. Of course, there are many opportunities of profiting within the Bitcoin community, but it involves investing your holdings into an active means of increasing your wealth.

If there is a real emergency or some sort of epidemic then even cash is useless. I'd be moving with my Glock, that'd be the only way to survive Haha, yeah this is what I was thinking, reminds me of the walking dead. In one of the episodes, they find a bunch of money in a country club, and literally just burn it because that's its only value. So in regards to OP, unfortunately Bitcoin is still useless in the event of real emergency. But in the event of a catastrophic event, what good will any legal tender do you?

The top is in on this run-up. Time to unload and take profits. i dont feel like 270 is the top, i feel like bitcoins going to hit around 330 and stay there for around a month and around the halfing next year itll be around 400-500 I highly doubt the price staying at or around $300, even if we do see it. $300 has huge psychological implications, and its a number that plenty of people are looking to cash out at. (See bear wall). It's a hard number to break through and stay above. However, increases seem to be nullifying, I'm not sure if we will even see the price flirt with the $300 line in this ride.

When it gets down to it, the answer to the question is simply a math equation. If your investment plan holds an ROI that exceeds the rate of interest, then you should invest. If interest exceeds the ROI, save. Of course, with super low interest rates practically globally, investing is certainly the superior option today.

i believe that a lot of people are afraid of massive fluctuations that happen to bitcoin price and that its price might drop in the future
The stability of Bitcoin's price need some time to happen, but i think the price will increase to some level and then it will be stopped to some stable price in the near future The price has actually been relatively stable (as in more stable than mainstream currencies and economies) lately. Of course, price increases are fundamentally a symptom of volatility, but I think the recent charts have painted Bitcoin as stable enough for usage. I feel like the bigger problem is the psychological perception of Bitcoin from a lot of the rest of the world, which is undeniably piss poor.

Bitcoin, or rather the community backing it, hold an extremely poor reputation with the rest of the internet and the rest of the world. I actually just posted about this in a similar thread, I'll paste the comment for those interested in the elaboration:
I think a big thing that's stopping people from giving Bitcoin a shot is the public's perception of the community that backs it. The average joe either doesn't know what Bitcoin is, or sees it as internet money used to buy drugs and weapons. The rest of the internet sees Bitcoiners as a cult and generally regarded as the laughing stock of the internet.

In a marketing class last year, we had a big unit about logos and branding. The coloring of a logo is actually extremely important, because colors invoke a subconscious response from the viewer. Having gold as the color for Bitcoin logo would imply wealth and power to those who view it, which is much stronger and more serious than what is perceived by orange.
Is it alright with you if I put this in the OP? I'll be sure to quote you of course. Absolutely! I'm 100% for this proposition and would love to be shown as in support of it.

Hey OP, you should include freelance/online work. For anyone who has a valuable skill that others are in need of (coding, writing, drawing, etc.) there is quite a large demand for these skills by many different entities in the community, and Bitcoin makes it incredibly easy getting started working for someone.

Hey everyone. I've never invested in these Investor-based games before, because obviously it is a huge risk and ultimately the money ends up back at the house. However, there seems to be a dedicated community supporting the creation and continuation of these games, and I guess that is proof enough that some of the people here are profiting. Does anyone have a guide they would like to share that includes their methods/strategies to maximize profits and minimize the chance of losing your input?

you will laugh at me but the scratchcard that i only play so far is neopets scratch cards. and end up, most of them i buy to sell and not scratch myself cause it is not worth it.
Haha, I remember the good ol days of Neopets! The daily/hourly scratch cards and wheels were my favorite. The adrenaline rush of potentially winning something huge I blame Neopets as the start of my underaged gambling exploits :/

It will be when I make my merchandise. Don't worry you guys. I'm gonna do everything in my power to make these items beautiful and draw dropping to give wonderful advertisement for Satoshi's work. All you have to do is give me a chance. I love you all very much from the bottom of my heart because you've honestly given me concepts to believe in, and I'll honestly do anything to contribute to the growth of this currency.
One day, bitcoin will be worth one million USD each, and we can all enjoy our success together.
If you can create artwork that pushes Bitcoin into mainstream, every day life; I will quit everything, pack my bags, and move to wherever in the world you are and work under you as your assistant. Under me? With me. I don't believe any of us are higher than the next worker. No man or woman is an island. ^___^ Right now, I'm designing fashion merchandise with the bitcoin symbol in gold, and without the circle in the background. I will also be hand sculpting bitcoin symbol chains, bracelets, earrings, and various bracelets. I am also going to be working on some hand knitted sweaters, hats, scarves, gloves, arm warmers and so on with the bitcoin symbol hand embroidered onto them in gold embroidery floss. I'm almost done with my first scarf and matching hat. From there, I will be hoping to get back on the mascot that I created for Bitcoin as well. I'm honestly excited. I know these items will look fabulous and really get the word out on Bitcoin currency. Oh, didn't realize what you were referring to haha, I actually think I saw both of your threads about the scarf and the mascot. As far as logo changes go, I'm all for it. Branding and logos have significant psychological impact, and I really think that changing the logo to gold would make a huge difference in the eyes of potential Bitcoiners. Good luck

What is the difference between "earning bitcoins" and earning dollars and buying bitcoins? I don't see a difference so I don't understand why it is important to "earn bitcoins".
I had to agree with this. Earning $ and BTC is the same. You use fiat to buy BTC . Isn't there already a way to monetize BTC? The problem why people wont still use BTC is because they are not fully aware. Yes if we give them the coins and teach them where to use it, they will use it some time but what about the votality? If they don't fully understand how the bitcoin thing works then they will not replace fiat with it. We need to educate them as the same time. Not just give them way to earn BTC. If you earn dollars and buy BTC you are accumulating BTC as an investment. Nobody is going to spend their investment because they think it will appreciate in value overtime. If you are looking to do some consumer spending, there is no incentive to first turn your dollars into Bitcoin. If you earn BTC first, however, you are simply earning a salary which makes spending a lot more appropriate.

I voted for the third option. I dug up my clams when they were about .011, and against my gut decided to hold as the price collapsed. It's now less than 25% of what it was when I dug up just a couple of months ago. Fuck this shitcoin tbh.

I'd be willing to gamble that these "strategies" that are constantly reposted are orchestrated or at least supported by SatoshiBet. I've seen this "guaranteed winning" strategy so many times over the years, and I bet the casino certainly benefits from the exposure of this sure-fired way to win.

I've only played sratchcards maybe 10 times in my life. Sometimes when I was at the supermarket or gas station with my mom I could convince her to buy me a scratchcard instead of candy. I don't think I have ever scratched a card that paid out more than the cost to purchase.

I missed the first game because my deposit took too long to confirm.
At 9:30 the first game ended, so I tried to join the 2nd game.
It took the entrance fee off my balance, but just hung saying "connecting". I waited 10 minutes, asked in the chat, but nothing happened. An hour later I checked again and it's still saying "connecting", and the buy-in is still missing from my balance.
What do?
Hmmm, that's really disconcerting. Sounds like the site wasn't able to handle the increased load, since I've heard a few others mentioning a similar experience. your best bet is to probably just contact support about having your buy in refunded, or otherwise just ignore the loss.

The bubble at the end of 2013 largely defines Bitcoin. That was when it went crazy in media and a lot of the world first heard about it. I don't necessarily believe that we can, or even should, forget this bubble, as it was an integral part of Bitcoin growth. Furthermore, I disagree that still remembering that bubble will prevent a further one.
