Do you also dream that you wake up late for work/school? This is a classic symptom of midbrain damage (most likely a tumor) affecting one's sense of time. Unfortunately, there is no treatment, so you will soon develop dementia and die. You've probably only got a year to live, maybe two if you're lucky.

Just kidding.



Weird. I've never had any of those 'common' dreams nor ever heard anyone that has before.

Faucets are just the first way newbs try to get their hands on their first coins without having to pay anything. I used them for a few days back in the day but quickly stopped when I realized I was wasting my time.

Make sure you set up 2-factor on your blockchain.info account. You can also back them up or send them to a paper wallet I believe directly on the site.

First my greetings to the forum on bitcoins because I am interested in currency, including already have registered my blockchain with only $ 4 ...

However, what is the safest way to store them? Is there a way to deliver them in paper money, or some kind of title? I am the IT area, and I think it will be a lot of work having to do several portfolios. And I have no other internet without computer or a printer, to remember.


I appreciate everyone's attention,
Lanpenn

4 USD is really a small amount , people won't even bother them selfs to try to hack you or anything ,

Not true. If he gets malware it will take whatever coins he has whether its a satoshi or 1000btc.

You just want threats to the network? I guess there's not much other than spam. I think the biggest threat outside of that though are strict regulations and apathy and cynicism from the mainstream.

Loaning people your money is a good way to lose it all quickly and all for what? A tiny piece of interest? Most people will likely just take out loans to pay them back until they build up enough confidence to take a big chunk and run off with it.

not if you have a policy of "never lending someone big amount of bitcoin without a valid collateral". you can sell the collateral if they default, and limiting the loan with no collateral to 20% of their account's worth will reduce your risk.

Don't think it works like that on btcjam does it?
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your biggest problem with Bitcoin on: July 06, 2015, 12:05:44 PM
The biggest issue is the volatility and I think that's what scares a lot of people off, but at the same time its that volatility that is very attractive to speculators and thus the potential for profit. For the average user who may wish to use it as a currency though it can be scary for them.

This is what I thought for the first time Im doing trading bitcoin, I scare about the volatility but at last I think without any volatility I dont think I can get good profit. With this volatility we can earn every time and get much profit from it

But the opposite is also true. You can lose a lot of money and profit not at all. Trading or investments always carry risks and are not always profitable.

Bitcoin has everything it needs, though I think at some point the blocs are going to have to be increased, it's just a matter of when. It's not a feature of bitcoin but I would just like to see many or most online merchants accept btc as well.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: June 07, 2015, 01:57:15 PM
i have always heard of btcjam and saw the ads but have never tried it.

what is the difference between lending to people there and lending here in this forum at lending section.
what do they provide as a guarantee or collateral?
Each has its own rating. There are people who are constantly borrow and return. They have a good reputation. Do not skipped borrow the full amount, but only that which you do not mind.
I have heard many good reviews about this site. No time and money that would be available to try.

there are multiple cases of default on loan, even from A+ rating, i would stay away from it , without even thinking, the only good thing is that you can divide your loans with someone else, thus is not necessary to pay the full loan by yourself

I think loaning bitcoins is asking for trouble. Most people who use that site (or take loans here_ likely just try build up some feedback to scam at a later point.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin dead? on: May 20, 2015, 06:09:37 PM
Bitcoin isn't dead until its value is zero or there's little to no miners left so it's almost impossible to send or get confirmations. Until then it is very much alive.

He got arrested fro trespassing on the land so it looks like this idea was a failure before it even got started. These things always run into trouble. You'd be better off buying your own island or creating one somewhere but that costs a lot of money and still can run into legal trouble.
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as a Retirement Account on: April 27, 2015, 08:12:24 PM
Every month, your employer transfers Bitcoins into a time-locked address that can't be transferred out before you reach retirement age.  You have the key to the address.  You can verify the transfer on the blockchain.

No middle-men.  No funny business.  No brokers with pyramid/eyeball shaped logos.  No "oops we went bankrupt and lost your retirement."  No bail-ins.  No raising the age of retirement.

Just Bitcoin.

 I'm sorry, but that's a terrible idea. Bitcoin is much too volatile to be used as a retirement investment. Don't get me wrong, I love Bitcoin. But it's not the right vehicle for a retirement account.



But just because it is too volatile now doesn't mean it wont be stable in the future. If bitcoin is the worlds first international currency adopted by billions by the time people are ready for retirement it could be a great plan.
13  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How many wallets do I need? on: April 11, 2015, 10:04:49 AM
just use 2 wallet ... main wallet with multibit as wallet to save bitcoin with big amount, and blockchain.info to save a bit bitcoin

This is what I do. I don't think you need loads of wallets. I keep my coins backed up on a usb and have a little I use in my blocklchain.info (2-factor secured with 2 password). Make sure to write the wallet seeds down to on both blockchain.info and your desktop wallet so you can easily recover them if something goes wrong.

also one more thing, They willl all work together to take your bitcoins, stop doing things in the dark and let them know this is a bad idea.  Dont play this on a political term, also im sure the owner who is making this site will be arrested for making a site, just for making it.  how will the protect themselves legally?

Lol. Are you trolling? They couldn't take your bitcoins as this is the whole point of decentralized exchanges. And the owner can't be arrested because they've done nothing wrong. Creating a free and open market isn't illegal, but what people choose to sell or buy on there might be.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why they run away with customer's money in hand on: March 10, 2015, 11:10:00 AM
People's humanity.
If I could run away with lots of money and don't take any risk, then why not?
It's just a nature of human.


But why would you do it if you have a chance at making more money in the long term? That is the only bit I don't really understand about some people...

Greed. At some point they've got to run or people may stop investing or sending them money, but I agree it is better to build up a profitable and legit business.
16  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-03-10] BBC: Could Bitcoin ease the pain of Africa's migrant workforce? on: March 10, 2015, 10:14:36 AM
The remittance market would be huge for bitcoin and I'm sad that it isn't already been massively used in this industry. The people who do remittance are wasting money. I hope it catches on sooner rather than later.

Holy shit it's funny seeing them report something we've known literally several months before hand.

The masses are sadly not as quick to adopt such great technology but hopefully they'll realize that one day and get on board.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dell accepting bitcoin does it make …… on: March 02, 2015, 08:57:36 AM
It is definitely better than if they did not accept Bitcoin.


Why would anyone think it's a bad thing? Widespread merchant adoption ix exactly what every wants and needs for bitcoin to become valuable as both an asset and a currency.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: HSBC files show how Swiss bank helped clients dodge taxes and hide millions on: February 09, 2015, 12:24:09 PM
Surprise surprise HSBC yet again. When is it that these bankers are going to start going to jail. Funny how when regular people commit money laundering or tax dodging they go straight to jail but all the bankers do is pay a fine.

The sad thing is they're above the law. Just imagine all the criminality they get up to that we don't know about. Then whenever it does get exposed they just pay the gov off and everyone forgets about it.
19  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: February 09, 2015, 10:50:51 AM
Probably somewhere between 1 and 100,000. Personally it's futile asking what amount you'll need but I'd concentrate on just acquiring as many as you can afford or are willing to buy and hold for the future. Maybe you'll get lucky, maybe you wont.

If Bitcoin were at a constant price, more people would use it.

I don't think this is true. People may have more faith in it as a currency and won't be scared off by price collapses but there's a lot of people buying bitcoin to capitalize on the fluctuations etc.

we're still in the early value determination phase. it will stabilize.

Exactly.

I hope you're right.
