Yes, I think pretty much the same. It is very complicated. You have to do many things (buying, downloading the wallet, encrypting, fees etc) to use crypto and you do not get an inmediate benefit over fiat.

But also, this complication, as I see it, is what makes profitting from crypto possible. If it were easier to use, trade, and all, everybody would do it and there will be no potential margins of benefits (arbitrage, sites with discounts for buying btc, giveaways, paid signature campaigns etc).

Easy of use is at little at odds with earning potential: At least as I see it.

Maybe it is a boring year, may be not.

I will love to see Bitcoin more mainstream adopted, more services and all that. However, I am content with the situation right now; can earn some, can sell them for cash, and have a nice value. A year just like the one that have passed will not be bad in my view.

Even if Bitcoin remains a little exclusive as it is now it would be good.

Great idea. I use other macro software for some tasks (autohotkey) such as automatically selling dust coins in exchanges and such. Never had thought about creating a macro to milk faucets. I feel it is a good idea and will think about creating macros for it too.

Keep on with the good work.

Updated wallet and run command! It works fine and fast. Waiting for cryptopia wallet to work again in order to transfer my new bought fly into my local wallet. Hope it gets sorted out soon!

Do not really know if they are good or not. But I assume a cc requires personal data. There are good places where you can buy if you just give your data, without using a cc.

Personally, I like coinbase to buy. It is easy and fast.

Do not think that would happen at all. Everybody knows about the halving right now, and that has to be somewhat included (at least partly) in the current prices we are seeing. Expect a raise, but not that much.

Of course, I would love to be mistaken.

Perhaps he was only testing if there would be a confirmation message for such a big fee... and the message did not come. Then he wanted to double-check it 

Thanks for the detailed review . What happens if the USB breaks down or gets stolen? which will be the procedure to recover the wallet?

Project sounds very attractive indeed, and I love renovable energies. But you'll ha to provide some proof about all this or offer very small shares for people to test it risk free.

Can have some profit depending on the coin. Some coins do pay a % of the coins you have and do it fast, but at the same time those coins lose value in markets and you end up having lest total value.

Get informed about coins before, and mostly, you have to have lots of coins to make a decent profit.

The idea sounds good for me, but it still not very trustworthy. Besides, you have to put 0.1 to start with, which is fairly a high amount to do a test.

Perhaps with a smaller amount more people will risk trying. If it is a crowd bank, there is really no reason for such I high amount in my view, although I may be overlooking something.

I have always though that a role playing game with bitcoin as its currency will be great. The one mentioned here is too simple and text based, but just imagine a world of warcraft or similar with satoshis instead of "golden" coins.

Great for adoption to be sure.

I think it will go up from here. It gets a pump, goes down (to a stable price higher than before) then raises again. That seems to be the trend in the past months.

Perhaps the solution is diversifying. Some to shapeshift, some to poloniex, some to bit-x, etc. It is more work, but it is also more secure (if one of the parts swallows your LTC it is only part of them, not all).

Paypal is more widely accepted, and that is an advantage for sure. However, if you have a good method to convert BTC to fiat the advantage of paypal vanishes a bit.

Also you control your BTC in your wallet, paypal can establish fees, restrictions etc. in any moment.

Also, it is possible that some overbought before Christmas expecting a Christmas pump that has not been so high, then they sell in part also for the money needed for new year.

I heard some speculation about Bitcoin going up for Christmas. That might have made people buy a lot, then it did not go so much up, and people decided to cash in after Christmas.

But who knows really...

Did not know so many things were going on on Bitcoin, great list and great work.

It would be great to update it from time to time, commenting on that things that are future right now but will be done.

Just speculating, but a killer app that allowed users to earn some BTC and buy from their phone will be a great announcement.

Something like you view some ads or test some apps and your balance increases (which can be balance incorporated directly on an in-app wallet). Then the app also has a shop for apps or other things in BTC that are spendable directly from the same app.

Will be huge for adoption, and think it is doable.

People just want to keep their altcoins. Some of us (at leas I am one) just sell every altcoin we get for BTC, but there are lots of people who keep altcoins to do transfer between exchanges or in the hope they will raise their value.

So they want the BTC but not to lose their altcoins.
