I use coinbase as an online wallet because I do not mind not being anonymous, and I can buy / sell bitcoins for cash easily there.

Also I use multibit in my pc in order to diversify some of my earnings just in case the online wallet gets hacked or something. I like multibit because the integrated functionality to do backups.

Finding a bug in the code for example. That would make the coin go down like ligthning.


Also some kind of international banning (USA or Europe Union banning it or considering it illegal) or finding corruption among the core developers in a major scale.

But those are things that would be hard to happen.

Great raise in volume lately. So it is going up strong again? I hope yes as I got caught with some higher buying 

It is time to sell if you have good profit and are not greedy, to hold if you did not buy that much lower, and to enter buying if you do not want to risk it get highers...

So it depends 

I am Spanish and use to talk in exchanges chat a lot with people from Argentina (also México and Venezuela) so I can affirm that there is a quite lively community of Bitcoin and crypto users in general in those countries.

This gives hope and is great news to read. Thanks for sharing.

Wow that is a really worked out tutorial. Thanks for sharing this, I am going to keep it as I may want to run a faucet someday.

I think that will never happen. Too much competition and not many people interested in it. Interest and money put into it should multiply by 20 or more, which can happen, but I am pesimistic and think that before reaching that much, competition, laws or something will stop it of being so high.

I agree with the guys saying that it is easy to proof he is him by signing or providing math evidence. To try to convince people he is Satoshi giving other (more complicated) proof, makes not much sense.

I am pretty accostumed to use BTC and satoshis, but when I see a quantity written in bits (for example) I have to do some mental math to get an exact idea of the value.

Also with BTC amounts not including the trailing 0s, I get a little confused. For example 0.000076 BTC is more confusing than 0.00007600 at least for me.

I struggled to find the claim button (small "Lite" button to claim) I think this would make a lot of users to try, get angry at not finding the button, and not coming to the faucet again.

Your faucet looks really good. Registered.

However I wonder, Where do your earnings come from? I see no ads whatsoever.

Requires registering... I prefer to not register in more sites for now. It is almost inevitable to repeat passwords and you have to provide your mail, which is not worth it for dozens of sites.

I wonder which part of those big countries illegallizing Bitcoin is really true? Have they really illegallized it?

With "double digits" they mean "less than 100" (sorry I am not a native English speaker).

In that case, I doubt it will happen. In fact, as things are going right now, it seems to me that it hardly will go lower than 250 at least in a long time.

I got interested in Uphold after reading this thread. So it is like an exchange between the different currencies and without fees? that sounds good.

As for the question by OP, I have used bitfinex and traded my BTC for dollars without being in a dollar country. Perhaps you could check that too.

I made a similar question a while ago, and basically, the answers were to use a fairly high amount (1-5 BTC) to see some profit, although you can learn with lower amounts.

Also main advice was "buy low say high".

I will add: always calculate beforehand the fees for buying/selling (create a spreadsheet or something) and realize which is the mimimum amount the coin has to go up (or down) to get some profit. Many trades with a 20 cent profit might equal a good amount of profit in the long run too.

I have never had problems with cryptsy, but truth is I have never hold great amounts there. Thanks for sharing this, so we can all beware and more careful with which we hold there.

He sure has an incredible mind, but everyone does mistakes. I really hope he can still work for the good of Bitcoin and people get past of being "angry" with him due to his involvemente in XT.

A little only. Perhaps 10k dollars or something like that.

I am into Bitcoin as an earning opportunity to help me get a living, but with one million I would already have more than enough. Buying 10 thouand dollars worth of Bitcoin is enough to "be there" if Bitcoin skyrockets, and does not mean much in a million dollar total.

I have not got to the point of dreaming about it, but have been daydreaming in conversations with friends, speculating at what would happen if 1 satoshi comes to get the value of 1 euro and thinks like that.
