Like in the Topic said.

How would u guys explain Bitcoin to your Girlfriend!

cheers
Well here’s my strategy, find out what she ever wants to have in her life, what she desperately dreams and if that thing is possible to buy with bitcoin then no mater how hard to get it, try your best to buy it for her. As a result, she would probably start wondering about bitcoin and how powerful it is to buy such a thing and the rest is easy now, show her what bitcoin is, how to earn from it, etc.
7202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your money aim? At which point you would go in "retire"? on: August 08, 2016, 02:25:36 PM
I would imagine the majority of people here on this site is still fairly young... So why would you want to retire? I guess to me, working is something I look forward to everyday and is a reason for me to keep on going with life, besides family and other things such as hobbies.

Idk, it's always a goal for me to be rich and enjoy my time here on earth... But not retire.

Well it depends on your job or way of earning money.

My job is not horrible but if I could afford to quit I would.

It doesn't mean I wouldn't do anything, although there is nothing wrong with that (reading books, travelling, being on a beach everyday, and other things), but the only "job" that I would really consider is investing in things, so I'd need more money for that. Investing in real estate, investing in promising start ups, that sort of thing.
I also think that retiring is not that much necessary, especially when maybe most of you guys here are still young.
Of course, my money aim is to live on, to move on with what I can earn and working is one of the reason I still alive on this planet so why should I think of retiring.

You can get 5 people for 0.05 BTC.
Mine for 0.01.

Ok I am interested with you.

It seems the advertiser is interested in more number of people's signatures but with 0.01 pay. 
If the advertiser has plan for more number of weeks, then any aspiring campaign manager may guide him for free for gaining some experience. I guess it would be a good chance for any future manager.
7204  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the price of bitcoin falling because of halving? on: August 02, 2016, 07:59:31 PM
Yeah, the hype is over now. Back to the 500's. That's if we are lucky. If we are not, welcome to 400's.

The general direction will be only down from now on, 'till  we get close to the next halving, which is very far away. Don't get deceived by the fake pumps, they won't last.
That's not going to happen. The price has been gradually increasing all due to the speculation of halving and it will again be stable at $600 in the next few weeks. Last year as well the price doubled and it did remain stable at $350-$400 after that. Dumping and pumping is common in BTC.
7205  Other / Meta / Re: Please remove/lock scam attempt threads on: August 02, 2016, 06:24:01 AM
However, if someone feels like this should be changed then the thread should be oriented towards a rule change suggestion.
Thank you very much for foreseeing some possibilities.

Based on some certain number of reviews from Staff/DT members, we might have classifications like 'possible scam attempt' and 'confirmed scam attempt' (Already warnings are being issued similar to these).
Then a thread which is being concluded as 'confirmed' (by considerable amount members) must be removed or perma locked. Just suggesting yet again.
7206  Other / Meta / Please remove/lock scam attempt threads on: August 02, 2016, 05:55:17 AM
I do see a practice of deleting threads which are begging for money (including asking donation/asking support in money).
Why not Staff members enforce same rules to "confirmed scam attempts". Permanent locking of those threads also would save many members from possible scams/problems.

I know classifying as confirmed scam attempt is hard. But concluding with an old scammer is not a big deal, I believe.
Here is the case I am talking about:

I've UK accounts not using now pm me if you want it.
Please don't sell your personal accounts to anyone randomly you do not know. I have myself used bet365 and they as for proofs randomly without any reason and if they asked proof maybe the buyer has to admit that he bought the account and you will fall in trouble.

What you want to prove by saying this, if your main aim was to get the account a negative feedback by hacking it, then you had better ways to do so. You wasted some priceless moments of your life just to hack someone and then post garbage with it. You think was it worth it ?
7209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Problems you often face online in Bitcoin world? on: August 01, 2016, 01:21:24 PM
Being limited where to spend the bitcoin is one of the main problem that I face everyday, another one is buying bitcoin at the real price not those with 10-15% fees which sucks thinking to use the bitcoin after.

If you are forced to pay such an insanely high fee just to get yourself some coins, then yes, it's very annoying. In some countries it's very difficult to get your coins when an exchange isn't allowed to be active in your country. May I ask where you live?
Having to pay high fees depends on the seller. I often use localbitcoins so that I can somehow bargain the price in anyway I can but of course, it doesn't always work. When I am in hurry of doing either buying or selling, I have no other option other than paying higher fees usually.

Planning well in advance is not yet possible for me, but that may the right solution for this.
7210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Mixer - How to Secure your Identity ! on: July 31, 2016, 09:19:17 PM
People should that bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. They must be very careful when use bitcoin to keep their anonymity.

That's true that bitcoin mixer service can help keep your anonymity, but what if they keep your transaction or turned to be scam?
For normal people, i think one-time address should be good enough.
If you use a trusted mixer, the chances that the mixer turns into a scam is small but still there.
Personally, I only use one wallet, and it works perfectly fine. I just use Bitcoin normally, and I only occasionally use mixing when it's absolutely necessary.

I'm surprised that a post like this that was last replied a year ago has been dug up.
At that time, cloud mining sites were still profitable since the bigs are still paying around that time but now, it's obviously different since the bigs have shut down and eventually turned into scam.

I'm pretty sure there are quite a lot of instructions that you can find on Google on how to make a simple faucet. For advanced database and faucet API, you can either hire a professional to make you one or you can just use the one that's readily available on faucetBOX.

Lol! I don't think I've ever posted on these garbage threads but maybe most a few more examples so I can make sure.
I'm not guitarplinker, but I'll list a few garbage threads. Not very hard to realize which ones. They usually have thousands of posts, asks a question, and usually doesn't have any discussion - just people repeating what hundreds have already said. No real value comes from the threads.
Is their any safe methods to gamble?
If you were rich, would you still gamble?
How much can you earn with gambling?
what fun in GAMBLING?
Instead of contributing to this campaign why not you contribute to this forum by reporting those threads to mods with some solid proof.

We have incidents of threads got locked when they got over spammed.

If you are not able to convince mods to lock those threads by showing proof, it is not a good practice to call a thread as garbage and to suggest here. (it indirectly doubts the responsibility of mods of corresponding section)


@guitarplinker
I believe it is not a common practice to have off-threads similar to off-sections for a signature campaign.

I respect your decision of campaign participants not to spam in those threads. But it shows some selfishness if you (or we) are not taking any steps to prevent others too not to spam there.
7214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's stopping people from using bitcoin? on: July 29, 2016, 11:58:04 PM
I think the price volatility, lots of incidents related to black market activities and many other anti-government activities are the major cause that's stopping people from using bitcoins.

I don't think BTC price volatility is the primary cause for not using it. But based on my knowledge as of now bitcoins are not accepted by many governments because they can't track the transactions and can't put taxes on to it so many businesses are not taking it as a payment method. Currently, bitcoins are used mostly in online gambling and for some limited online activities.
The price volatility of bitcoin is a concern for the merchants to accept bitcoin payments. When they are accepting bitcoin payments and if the price of bitcoin get lowered then they might incur losses. Also, the pending approvals from the government is a big concern for many people, and they are still waiting for any view from their government to start using bitcoins.
7215  Other / Off-topic / Re: In 20 years, what would you like to do with your bitcoin? on: July 28, 2016, 09:04:48 PM
I think that if the bitcoin in 20 years later
bitcoin will be the a big a payment in the world and we can use it for buy anything.
Today also you can literally buy anything in the world using bitcoins.
After 20 years I'll be probably using bitcoins for my day to day purchases.
Even now, bitcoin is only starting to be accepted worldwide and I'm guessing in about 5 years, there would be a lot of stores that are accepting bitcoins around the world.

But you guys really didn't answer the question. What I'd like to do with my bitcoin after 20 years actually depends on it's value. If it has stabilized permanently, then I might just go on a spending spree. If it's still volatile and really high in value, I'd just sell it and enjoy the rest of my life.
7216  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: July 28, 2016, 08:43:29 PM
I don't see a reason why I shouldn't accept bitcoins as a salary since you can exchange bitcoin in flat . It's a great thing actually. This is not an impossible because everyday bitcoin is getting popular.
yeah, a lot of people tell that it would be a problem to use it, but you can simply just exchange it all to fiat at the time you get your salary, i would definitely accept bitcoin salary
then it's not actually accepting salary in bitcoin form,it's just having salary in fiat even it's on exchanger,and by doing this you're wasting effort,times,and money for paying fees when you could get your salary directly through fiat
There are some problems that I can think of by accepting bitcoins as our salary.
First problem is that your company/boss/employer would have the need to know about bitcoins. If they don't, then either you introduce it to them or them finding about it some day. But it doesn't necessarily mean that they would agree with paying employees with bitcoins.

Next, is about the tx confirmation. Let's say that it's payday and you desperately need your salary then the tx isn't confirmed fast and it took hours. Fiat is better since you'll be receiving the money nearly instantly.
7217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin worst decision you will ever make? on: July 28, 2016, 08:21:46 PM
One of the worst decisions would be buying an alt, watching the price shoot up and then still holding the coin when it plummeted, it can happen so quickly.

Best decision was taking up bitcoin in the first place.
That's not entirely true for all since I have actually made some profits from buying alts and selling them when they rise in value. Of course, it's not always that I make profit.
My only worst decision was that I never really trusted the opportunity I had when bitcoin was still at around $350.
7218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: July 28, 2016, 07:45:01 PM
One cool thing I discovered recently was "bitcoin days destroyed"?
I saw a discussion about this here-
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/845/what-are-bitcoin-days-destroyed

and thought that this was a really cool metric.
Coins that haven't been moved in a while suddenly getting transferred is a very interesting topic.

I don't think its actually possible to know the exact number of people using Bitcoin because each person can have multiple addresses.
The concept of bitcoin days destroyed is only for measuring the volume but it does kind of give us a good opportunity to actually have a basis but that alone of an information isn't really enough. There's really no way to know the number of people using Bitcoin since we can't even know the average number of addresses each person owns.
7219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: July 28, 2016, 07:27:48 PM
As much as I hate to say it, I actually hope more people start buying drugs and other things on the darknet with BTC.
(As long as its not child pornography or weapons I have no problem with anything people want to buy with Bitcoins.)
It means that more people will buy coins and the price will go up.
Sorry but I'm greedy and want my investment to be worth more lol.  Roll Eyes

Anyways, drugs should be legalized.
The "war on drugs" is just a business. The people that started it knew that. They don't want the war to end because they make too much profit.
That's a whole different topic, though.
I'll focus mainly on the later half of your statement;

I think some drugs should be legalized, but not some others. Very basic and recreational drugs like marijuana should probably be legalized just because of the unnecessary amount of incarcerations for it as well as the relative lack of harm it causes. Other drugs like heroin and methamphetamine should not be legalized in my opinion, as those are much harder drugs with more dangerous consequences. But yes, the war on drugs is just a business for some people, and for the drug distributors they're making more than they would have before. It kind of goes both ways.
The thing is, those drugs are worth what they're worth right now directly because they are illegal.
Legalizing them would mean lower value of those drugs and we can probably implement a better control of supply/management on it.

However, I am in no way suggesting to do that, as I am only stating the possible effects of doing so.
7220  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: July 27, 2016, 08:11:26 PM
i use it everyday for work and personal life, love it
To use bitcoin in your everyday life, you must be living in a place where bitcoin ATMs are available to get bitcoins so easily. Because buying bitcoins is a very big task in my country. To use bitcoins, in your official work, you must be into bitcoin related job or you are offering any bitcoin based  services related business.

Please share more about your spending options of your both official and personal usage. We love to hear them.

Peoples are so eager to know how to use bitcoins effectively. But the big hurdle for most of the people who are looking to spend their bitcoins must be the spending options like different types of merchants accepting bitcoin for their daily needs.

If we are having a chain of super market which is accepting bitcoin payments all around  in the world then spending bitcoins is no more a big concern.
Yes, many people are watching this thread just because of getting some new innovative business ideas for their country specific.

When you are sharing like you are having options to use bitcoins through your exchanger for your mobile talk time purchase, that might trigger a new venture in a developing country by member here for his region.
