The best way to earn bitcoin is via sig campaigns....can't wait until I can participate in one Haha, it would take some time until you can participate in one.. In fact, you can join the 777coin sig campaign even when you are at the newbie rank. You won't make much though, wait till you are at least full member and then you will start making some real money off of signature campaigns.

Only online site I would trust for holding long term is maybe blockchain, and definetly xapo.com's insured vault. Other than that, it could end up like mt. gox again.
i wouldn't use blockchain.info for long term storage. it's still an online hot wallet. and i have heard that it can be vulnerable to JS exploits. for long term storage, cold storage is the only solution. Currently I am keeping about 0.05 BTC in my blockchain for quick access, and the rest in a xapo.com vault, cause its insured so its impossible for it to be lost. I don't trust myself with cold storage.

Bitcoin is actually pretty good for paying your friends for something. Lets say you don't have cash on you and you need to split a bill, you just send the guy some bitcoin and he will pay for you.

That was so well-written and helpful. I find that you should weigh personality to looks maybe 70% or 80% because in 20 years when looks doesn't matter, you will have a nice wife who is not a b*tch. If you have a really attractive wife but doesn't have a good personality, you probably will end up with a spoiled b*tch who will divorce you and try to take your money. I just asked someone out, a girl that is very attractive and has an amazing personality. We both like video games, we both like food, and we share lots more things in common. I feel like she is the perfect match for me, but she replied "Sorry, but I like you as a friend". What do you think I should do next? I feel like she's the only girl for me, and I couldn't imagine dating anyone else. Thanks alot for your help, I will use this information throughout my life.

Congratulations to newbee for winning this years International 2014 Dota 2 tournament. They have won a little over 5 million dollars. The finals weren't very exciting, but a win is a win.

I really don't trust anything that is self-moderated. People should use that as a general rule of thumb, or at least to be more cautious with self-moderated forums. The owner really controls the topic and is not transparent, meaning that people could be saying its a scam but no one will know because the post is deleted

I honestly don't know anything bad about ghash.io and cex.io. I used to use them and they seemed fine, I liked their website, their support was good. Aren't they taking measures to stop a 51% attack? Aren't they telling some users to use other pools? What real bad things have they done, that can be proven. I'm not trying to advertise ghash.io or anything but I want to know why they are so bad?
They double spent against BetCoin dice https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=327767.0They basically did nothing to prevent 51% and they reached it. Their measure now is to spam messages all over the net telling miners to leave, but not taking any actual measures like preventing new connections or increasing fees. I've seen that betcoin thing before, I assume that was an employee acting on his own part. They are not exactly going to not let people still use their pool, why would they do that. They are discouraging people from joining, but really thats all they can do without forcing people to leave. I just don't see why everyone hates on them, other than being scared of the 51% attack.
