A few people claimed to be satoshi, master-P (an escrow on this forum) scammed like 20BTC, and segwit didn't take off. Other than that uhmmm... normal forum drama LOL!

Obviously long before a satoshi is a dollar the code would be changed so it could be broken down to 10,12,16 decimal places. It's kind of a no brainer.

What you need to realize is that if there are 21M bitcoins and each of them costs $100M (1 satoshi = $1) then the market cap would be 2.1E15 or 2.1 quadrillion dollars. It's not going to happen. That's higher than the entire world's money supply. It's just never ever ever going to happen (unless the dollar is virtually worthless).

But this isn't at the protocol level so it's just a 3rd party that's paying the fee on your behalf then... right? Miner fees aren't that much, so I don't see much of a long term point to this service. It's fine as a gimmick to get their name out there though.

Lol maybe the OP should tell us what altcoin we should buy instead. I'm sure he has something specific he'd like to pump here.

I don't get the comparison either. It's really strange because the market cap of gold is sooooo much higher than bitcoins and way less volatile. It's a shitty comparison but I guess it's good so the dumb public can wrap their tiny minds around bitcoins. I love how everyone mainstream article has to give some weird little explanation of what bitcoins are still. Aren't we past that yet!? It's funny to see what they add in and what they omit. This one doesn't talk about satoshi but talks a very very small bit about mining and bitcoin addresses. It was really overly simplified though.

Bullshit. When mt got happened it was so opportunity quick. This has been a steady rise over 3 years. It's a completely different situation. It's not a bubble like mt gox but there is a lot of speculation going on because of the ETF that may come soon.

It's easy to say it should be 2k based on the past but the problem is there's no telling how quickly or slowly it will rise with different economic or political turmoil.

What if bitcoins are illegal in China and the US in 2018? The price would tank!

Exactly. Prove it first, fill out the right format and...  You were holding 95% of your friends' money? On yobit? Do you or your friend understand the two things you did wrong?

1. He should hold his own bitcoins.
2. Never keep anything you can't afford to lose on an exchange.

Kind of a stupid comparison. You can't even compare altcoins like this. Look at the market cap or nothing. That's the only true comparison.

It's all speculation on the ETF that's going to either pass or not on March 11th. It's either going to be a huge day for bitcoins or just another day. Assuming the ETF doesn't pass we can expect a $200 or $300 dip, but if it does pass we'll see steady increases and down the road looking to the future we'll see even more steady increases because of all of the money flowing in.

Yep it's a case by case basis. Obviously if you're trying to steal customers it's copyright infringement. Coinbase is an actual blockchain term so if you use it for anything to do with bitcoins that isn't an exchange you aren't infringing on any copyright.

That guy is just a permabull for gold. What an old school thing to be permabull about lol. He does know most of the gold in the world has already been found right?

Ok a lot of the post was confusing but I get it now. You're going to earn about 0.02btc a month, so yes of course you can sell that amount. The problem you may come into is the withdrawal fee might be pretty hefty for such a small amount. What I mean is if it's $5 to receive a wire transfer from an exchange it might not be worth selling $20 worth of bitcoins at a time.

Wtf why would you use a random unheard of mixer before even doing a quick search to see if its a scam? At least it wasn't much at all. Btw 5USD? Is that below their minimum threshold? That doesn't seem like very much to mix. I know a lot of other mixers would consider that a donation.

The only way he would resign is if he knew that he would somehow no longer be welcome or able to do his job. By unwelcome I mean like he did a crime and is forced to resign or whatever. Not that someone doesn't like him lol. He doesn't care that half of the US population hates him and the rest of the world does too.

IMO the biggest 2 mistakes are sending transactions with low fees and not reading enough before using bitcoins. The more you read beforehand the less issues you have when you start to use bitcoins.

It's still cheaper than paying a flat fee for bank accounts (where I'm from anyway). It costs money to move money. Who cares. It's still very cheap if you're sending it around the world.

We've had a significant bull run already so I'm expecting a price drop rather than a bull run to the moon.

Lol that's the shittiest article I've ever read in my life. This guy is obviously an idiot and doesn't know the first thing about bitcoins. Omfg so stupid.

Realistically expect to make less than minimum wage lol. This is a global currency so unless you're dealing with someone locally you won't be making much. Try selling things or offering a service that you haven't seen here before, that's the only way you could ask what you'd like to be paid for and actually get it.
