I just always wonder if those billionaires still invest in btc. Do they even know btc exist?
Just the other day I saw an article about Steve Wozniak the Apple co-founder talk about bitcoin and how he bought some bitcoin to experiment with it and this goes to shows bitcoin goes unnoticed of course he might not be in the billionaires club but him showing some sort of support shows the influence bitcoin has and billionaires are not left out and I believe they too invest in bitcoins.

Bitcoin turned into absolutle BS, it is slow it cant keep up with transactions and it looses more and more to Ethereum
I guess you can't say the same about other altcoins that have not been tested to full capacity, at least bitcoin is still holding on for ~9years straight

I dont like ethereum that much either anymre since this piece of shit putin endorses it but its seems to be by far the best thing that is going on in Crypto

Bitcoin was cool, like 5 years ago but now noone wants to fuck with bitcoin anymore, even all the big darknet marketplaces are now using more and more altcoins because the shity bitcoin is not compatible anymore.
If users are trying other crypto technologies this is good as it sends out a strong message to the developers to make bitcoin great again and win its followers back again.

Bitcoin will go up to 3000 again and all the whales sell this shit for ethereum

Bitcoin is History
-snip-
3000 dollars is not the optimal price other whales are still waiting for higher prices and bitcoin is still the pioneer of future money, not yet history!
1323  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people are asking you about Bitcoin now? on: June 13, 2017, 02:33:04 PM
I've been talking about Bitcoin to family, friends and random people for years and nobody seemed to mind when BTC was under $1000. But now that Bitcoin has reached $2000, people are starting to realize that owning 1 BTC is beginning to be out of reach for the average person.

I've had more people ask me about Bitcoin lately and wanted help buying Bitcoins. What about you?

My friends in Facebook starting to ask me If I'm earning in bitcoin, How much I earned in bitcoin? How to earn in bitcoin and Etc. But the most I can forget people who ask me is my professors in my school. I said to them I'm earning big money in bitcoin, But I don't think so they believe with me. Because I'm the student who don't have a high grades so they think that I can't earn big money.
lol why don't you tell the professors that at the end of the day its not always grades that will determine how much money you will be making?
I guess for them to believe you why don't you surprise them with something they will have to talk about with their fellow professors and friends so that the get on the next bitcoin boat  Smiley

For small scale I agree but not large or national in scope, this is because the user is still small and not bitcoin dominates the internet payment system, need more time to proof bitcoin can reduce unemployment.

Even if Bitcoin users are small and it is able to reduce unemployment amongst a small number of them we can say it has served a purpose and so it shouldn't necessarily be on the larger scale before we can conclude that it has reduced unemployment.
I agree with you, even if it is a small group of people benefiting from bitcoin..the fact remains that it does reduce unemployment levels and it does not only benefit the unemployed as the working class do get passive income from bitcoin as well.
1325  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Loss almost 40%, should stop trading or not ? on: June 12, 2017, 12:34:29 PM
Trading with btc - eth, I buy too high ( 0,082 ) and today I sell all on 0,077. Before that trade btc - ripple ( xrp ), make mistake buy 0,0002150 so today I sell with price 0,0001200. I decide to sell all because my patience is finish.
Great to see other users doing day trading and loss is part of any business but you need to learn to get your timing right and exercise some patience to minimize on such losses and It is not a must that you need to sell your crypto.

I have loss almost 40% from my money, my question is simple ................. stop or continue?
to be honest, if you want to make profits most of the time and do not have the patience then trading is not for you,STOP!
1326  Economy / Speculation / Re: [POLL] Will Bitcoin hit $ 500,000 by 2030? on: June 09, 2017, 09:16:29 PM
In less than 10 years Bitcoin has managed to grow in value to about $2800 with some adoption resistance here and there..
and if it goes another 5 years as top cryptocurrency we should expect more demand as more people try to get their hands on the crypto and by 2030 It will rise but not as high as $ 500,000 maybe 10k to 30k dollars sounds more realistic.
1327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Minexcoin ICO on: June 09, 2017, 08:21:24 PM
We have 19 days to go in the great Minexcoin ICO.What a powerful project we have.So far 69.76335588btc has been raised with 414 participants.
4 more days to go before Minexcoin ICO is over and currently its a few bitcoins shy of 200BTC from a total of 1352 investors

The sweetest part of this ICO is that there is an escrow account. Please join this great project !
Transparency and Accountability are very vital for ICO projects these days! Op how to I find this escrow account you talk of?
1328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: Minexcoin (ICO started) on: June 09, 2017, 06:16:10 PM
Claimed my first share of Minexcoin and joined twitter bounty, I must say you have a nice and well-organized project and the bounty UI is also easy to use. With 4 days to go hope we can have those last minute investors to come in for this million dollar project, all the best Minexcoin.
1329  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Loosing massive amount bitcoin on purpose... on: June 09, 2017, 04:24:43 PM
What if a multi-billionaire organisation were to buy a large amount of bitcoin (for example 30%) only to destroy the private key associated to the wallet and brag about it all over the internet ?

First the multi-billion organisation will have to invest a lot of time to acquire 30% of current supply and destroying private keys would just be denying themselves access to their loot and this would also mean less supply more demand which translates into rising bitcoin value Wink

First, would it be possible to prove the loss of the private key ? no
that won't be relevant if their actions are true we can see it in the value of bitcoins

Second, How the market would react ?
The only effect this would have on the market is a low supply of bitcoins has the BTC is withdrawn from circulation.
1330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How you pick your bets? on: June 09, 2017, 03:57:58 PM
I am curious and would like to know how you choose and pick your bets?

Do you have a certain strategy or is it just your gut feeling? Do you secure your bet on one site by setting a further bet on an other betting site?

Gambling is, by its very nature, a risk-ridden way to fill your time or even to try and make money. But, when done sensibly, it can also be a fun and exciting addition to watching sport. Once you've done enough research, you should know you're sport well enough to find better value in the hundreds of other markets the bookies offer. It is arguably a way for the bookies just to provide you with more ways to lose but you can find the good prices if you look hard enough.

The games do not always end up like they should and the favorites do not always win so when you are picking your bets whatever strategy you are using it will be a very risky one. Research won't help you that much when for example a good team leading the rankings of that particular league loses at home against one of the most weak links of the rankings of the league. Probably something has gone wrong here, maybe the leading team was not motivated so this ended in you losing your money.
Very true  favorites do not always win that is why I no longer go for pre-match betting, there is just so much uncertainty with these games especially football/soccer , tipsters or research won't help either...that is why most of my picks are inplay based I have a better chance of winning by staying away from the soccer its just so manipulative unless you bet exclusively on the top league games of the world.
1331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins in 2020 on: June 09, 2017, 12:18:57 PM
Which altcoins do you think will see year 2020 with prosperity and why they will survive?

I think following will be there

1) Ripple / because of its application in banking use
don't know about Ripple because it has not been on my radar but keeping an eye on it for now

Quote
2) Ether / because its smart contracts and scripting functionality
this is a valid point and many other projects are using the eth algorithm which guarantees continuous ether demand and prosperity.

Quote
3) Dash / Instant send and private send
Dash has continued to show continuous growth and i believe it will make it to 2020 among other successful alts.

1332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What type of wallet do you use? on: June 09, 2017, 06:09:06 AM
I use wallet exchanger, because it can be easy for altcoin trading, the transfer is also fast and for this I use safe. There is nothing to worry about I think to use a wallet exchanger
As a day trader, it is appropriate to store bitcoin on an exchange  to avoid any delays in btc transfers because of the congested network

I use multibit and electrum wallet for saving my bitcoins as I think both of them are very safe place to save your bitcoins and not easy for any hacker to hack your bitcoins as I have never lost any small amount from it.
I know we all have been told desktop wallets are above average in terms of security but what are the chances of losing your BTC if someone has access to your computer physically??
IMO a good wallet should be convenient, provide easy access to it and fast sync if possible and backup plan of your private key, I think Jaxx fits in well but am still using my blockchain web wallet.

One month has passed since I completed the translation. When should I expect the payment?
Are you sure you participated in the translation? I just checked the spreadsheet and your name is no where to be found. There are only 2 people on the translation spreadsheet at the moment. Hopefully you get added to it if you really did do the translation.
@Farcoin12 take it easy, you looking in the wrong place...check the OP you find erikalui did translate the White paper and Bitcointalk Announcement Thread into the Hindi version.Just wait for campaign managers spreadsheet update.

never heard of Ethereum-Wallet.net and no single being has recommended this wallet either
Best thing to do is avoiding wallets or products you  have never heard of,, problem solved.

1335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's going on? Bitcoin for the rich only? on: June 08, 2017, 06:02:55 PM
Hi,

Even just a year ago bitcoin was useable... now the fees are about 10x what the banks charge. Seems like its changing from a peer-to-peer money system for everyone into yet another convenient way for rich people to exchange funds!
We have to understand that the bitcoin community and demand has grown with the network almost staying the same and at times i feel a hardfork can fix this Roll Eyes Anyway less not look at the fees in dollars at times because it will hurt you more.
if you still want to pay low fees you need to have a miner friend to enjoy the privileges or use this free service for low fees https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1955028.0

What went wrong> And more to the point, who is responsible? What can be done to fix it?
Thanks
Andy
Its all in the name of scalability and the rumored fork "Segwit2x" that is our possible fix
1336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the future of ETH , DASH , DOGE , LTC ? on: June 08, 2017, 11:26:17 AM
i want bought 5k USD in some of does coins (ETH , DASH , DOGE , LTC) but i dont know what i buy ! Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh

share with us what is the best coin of thoese  Lips sealed Lips sealed
Great buy mate from the four altcoins you holding I like ethereum because it's among the most sought after crypto and is the next big thing from bitcoin and maybe one day prices will surge over a thousand dollars or so .
Dash and LTC are growing to their expected potential and I honestly think is also a good buy then Doge for me is a buy you put a blind eye on but should grow in value with time.
1337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling experiences : before and after bitcoins. on: June 08, 2017, 11:10:22 AM
My gambling experience
Before i even knew about bitcoin i hardly gambled that includes the brick and mortar casinos which i found to be inconveniently locaated
then after i knew of bitcoin all my doors to freedom were open...i can gamble at any time of the day, i can also deposit funds into my account so easily without KYC and am happy with how far cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have come.
1338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs altcoins, will they survive? on: June 08, 2017, 09:35:56 AM
I wonder what the general view is on this. It is obvious that having altcoins in the short term can be extremely profitable with amazing % increases. But it is probably not sustainable over the long term. Or can you actually put your money in altcoins and just let them sit there for the long term, like with Bitcoin and Etherium etc? Or should you always gradually move your short term profits from altcoins over to Bitcoin or Etherium to save for the very long term?
I would say there altcoins that reward handsomely within a short period and others in the long run

What are the views on the survival of the alctcoins? Say in the current top 50 list. Do you think they will still be prospering in 1-5-10 years? (granted of course that the whole marked would not crash completely a long with Bitcoin etc)

And by prospering I don't necessary mean they will be in the top 50. But at least that they will be worth more than they currently are.
IMO the best altcoins to invest for a long period are those that have real life applications, for example, SunContract will be used by token holders to buy and sell electricity and that is an altcoin that will grow with time.
I guess altcoins survival is definitely on the cards.
1339  Economy / Economics / Re: A $10,000 Bitcoin is possible, but it won't be what you think it would be on: June 08, 2017, 05:14:27 AM
People often tend to miss the point with such posts. Yes, I believe it is possible for Bitcoins to be valued at $10,000 USD or greater at some point in the future, but only because the USD is going to suffer from inflation. Not all of us are taking this into account. Bitcoin's value does not come from the USD at all. Let's stop making the comparison, for the sake of economics.
Its easy to miss this point because most of the times we all talk of bitcoins value in dollars and end up pegging it to the USD, which in reality is not what happens.

It is not a substitute or a competitor of the USD either. It is *actual money*. The US dollar bills are debt slips. Bitcoin is based on supply and demand.
Correct the price system of bitcoin  is entirely based on supply and demand, and that is why a $10,000 Bitcoin is possible because of its limited coin supply on condition demand is always there.

It may or may not be the currency of the future, but cryptocurrency definitely is!
Whichever role it plays in the future it has paved way for the mystery future currency
1340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: June 07, 2017, 09:37:27 PM
It payment system, privacy, security and freedom (worldwide acceptance)
Bitcoin's success is based on these features you have listed and will become even more popular should we have faster-confirming transactions.

And what i like about bitcoin is it treats everybody equal and you won't get any special treatment with it like fiat transactions.
