I don't see how bitcoin can help to anyone, it's just currency in the end. I'm not economy expert, but I think digitization of currencies across the world can help in equal distribution, if everyone can be "it's own bank" then we can directly follow our founds and not give them piece of our earnings.
   They print money as much as they wish, for their own purposes. Maybe blockchain can make soms order in the world, and with that things can be much clearer. This monetary system is failed, richer getting more rich, and others are like slaves for them.

   I don't know how can internet go down in world just like that, also I don't know how will that affect on blockchain network, all I know is that people will go crazy without internet.
   As young user here, I know about offline wallets. Smart people who have coins saved in this kind of wallets will keep their coins, others who keep money online will lose their coins.
   People should be smart, and start to think about future. Keep your money safe and secure, also I read how people lose money at exchanger sites. I learned my lesson from reading about people experience, everyone should read what people wrote here.

   We wouldn't have so many casinos if there is a way to make profit with gambling. To win in gambling is not easy, without good strategy it's hard to make profit. First we need to choose game where we are the best, I chosen sport betting. Second important thing is good managing of bankroll. My strategy is several bet slips per week, not more then dollar per slip and every slip with higher odds.
   Until now I didn't become rich from gambling, I'm trying and for now I have more wins then loses, but its nothing special. Big money is still far away from me, only thing I have learned for all this time in gambling, that we need money to make money. More money we have, more money we will make. With my couple dollars, I make few dollars per week.

   Loans without valid collateral are really risky, collateral need to have higher value then loan. In that case loaner can make profit with selling collateral to someone else.
   If loaner do business like this, there is no risk for his loan. Banks are making profit for years in this way, loan sharks also. Risky work, but they are around so many centuries that its visible how much profit thwy make each year.
   I took loan from bank, and I'm paying them back every month for that. I needed cash and for me that was only way to acquire cash without doing something illegal.

   I'm not rich from gambling, because I don't gamble so much. Only people who risk a lot in gambling can become rich from it one day, ir lose it all.
   My betting on sports is very low, and my winnings are not so big. From time to time I make some nice bet slip with very big odds, but until now I didn't have luck to win some of those bet slips.
   I'm gathering coins, and I commented how most investment options with bitcoins are scams, and one day maybe best option for me will be to pit money on some sport bet, in that moment there is possibility for me to become rich from gambling.

   Maybe two months and couple more days. Its not much I know, and in this time I didn't earn some big money. That doesn't bother me much, I'm working slowly to make something and to learn more. It's not easy and many times I'm sitting confused in front of my computer.
   What people think how long will bitcoin live and be around us? Am I late for making some money with bitcoins?

   Most people here talking about bitcoins as long-term investment, and for me that have most sense. Other options are not safe, and people constantly lose money on same scams just with different name.
   How can I recognize what is good investment and what is scam? After couple months in bitcoin world I'm not able to see good from bad, and only when I be able to see the difference I will try to invest my money into something. Until then all I'm doing is collecting and keeping.
   Only one thing seems good to me, that is sport betting, I do it cause I like with couple dollars per week or two, I don't think I'm ready to invest all I have in some football game.

   I didn't invest my money into blockchain, all I do at the moment is gathering coins and learning about this new technology. I would like to make enough for some good investment, and with that investment to make some good money. For now amount I gathered is not big, I need more time, and I need to work much more, but I'm afraid of investing my hard earned coins. To many scammers are there, and I really don't know where can I invest my coins and make profit.
   I'm reading so much about everything, and I'm not closer to solution of that. Because of all that I only gather and keep coins, and I hope one day I will see goo opportunity for investing.

   Best gambling site is directbet, because I like to bet on sports. I could vote just once, but fortunejack is nice site also, I found out recently about their free roll tournaments.
   For me these two sites are currently best sites for bitcoins, this is nice that every month people can vote for best gambling site. This way we can see what others like and where is swfe to deposit our money, thanks for this.

   People say here bitcoin is money, how can money replace money? This topic doesn't have sense, it's possible for one currency to dominate others, current situation tell us that dollar is dominant currency in this world, but we have other also strong currencies.
   Probably there will always be several good and strong currencies, digital currencies are not so strong right now, but with the time they will grow and be stronger and probably one day some crypto currency will dominate in this world.

   Majority is like me, holding bitcoins is best way to make profit one day without risking to lose coins from some scammers. I don't think there is safe way to grow bitcoins, all I see here on forum is how people loose coins.
   My choice is keeping and occasional sport bets, that is safe in my opinion. How anyone from here or online bitcoin casino fix some match? I think its impossible, and because of that only thing I can can trust is sport, and for me that is good way to grow not just bitcoins other currencies as well, with one word money. In other services and gambling sites I don't believe at all, too many people talk about losing money there, I'm too afraid to put my hard earned money there.

   When I was a kid I was looking how older people bet on sports, I follow them and after few good wins I was hooked up. It was more then 20 years ago, its hard for me to remind when was that exactly, but there was gambling houses around the town, Admiral was the name of these houses, mostly for sport betting, but in some houses close to downtown you could play some machines. I was football player and my passion was football, I started to bet then and I never stop.
   I don't think about sport betting as gambling, its just fun, trying to predict final result. If someone like me invest little amounts its a game, only if someone place high and big bets its gambling. Cause this person can win or lose a lot. I'm not that kind of player, I put small bets and my winnings are small, its mpre about making games more interesting to watch.

   Is there 1 % of truth in this headline and op's topic? If this is is truth then we are idiots, we should sell everything we have and invest in bitcoins.
   As relatively new member here this kind of threads just confuse me, I start to think how I miss some big opportunity in my life. I don't trust in this kind of threads, I think theh are here for us new people to fall on their scams. Its like everyone is stupid, and nobody knows how to earn money, 3 thousand we can see for couple years maybe, until the end of year we can just hope to hit 700. As a newbie it's my opinion, let's see someone to say I'm wrong.

   Nothing similar happened to me, to lose, or to invest in some scam site, or in service that turns to be fraud. I'm very careful with my coins, I keep them and I read a lot what is happening to other people. I work hard for my coins and I don't wish to lose them easily.
   Like in most cases people are guilt for their own mistakes, I'm trying to be careful and every step I think couple times first before I make it.

   I'm not sure in what to believe, in some moment's I feel that I believe in bitcoins future. In other I think how all this is just a game, like some secret organization is testing what kind of influence on this world economy will have some new digital currency.
   Story about Satoshi Nakamoto seems like fairytale, who is capable to make all this, one man for sure not. Time will tell what was real truth about who created bitcoin, how, and why. For now I'm using it without giving my maximum. I'm afraid to not lose everything with bitcoins.

   We need to trust in blockchain, and in bitcoin like one important part, or even main part of blockchain technology. Only trust can make bitcoin grow and only trust can show to other that bitcoin is something real and not just a joke. If we don't trust in bitcoin then others will not join here so easily.
   Bitcoin is strong now, price is high but how we to know in which altcoin to trust, altcoins confuse me a lot, and more I read about them, more confused I am.

   Someone said invest in trading, and then many copy/paste comments, but how to invest in trading? After some time in bitcoins, I gathered 40 $, how to invest them in trading? To deposit money and what then? Money will come from that? Do exchangers work like that, I collect interest from my money there?
   I'm not sure how that is working, I still didn't visit any exchanger, I can say that I'm bit afraid after recent crash of one exchanger.
   Can anyone here explain how to make money from trading, or at least where to learn to trade. I don't have knowledge about trading, and I don't wish to lose my coins.

   Earning a living with bitcoins is very risky, I know people here trade and gamble, but its hard to make profit with this way every month. Owners of some casinos and services maybe can earn for living. For rest of us its very hard to make coins. I'm making some very small amounts and that is not enough for living.
   I'm gathering coins and one day I will try to invest them, if that goes well maybe I can think about living with bitcoins. But that is far future for me, probably I will need to work hard one year and after that I will see what to do next.
   I don't have steady income, how much I work (comment, use faucets) that much I will have.

   This topic made me smile, and after smiling and laughing I started to think about bitcoins end, is it possible that bitcoin will die?
   Even I have many doubts and suspicions I think bitcoin will last for years, it started years ago and its so clear that nothing can stop this now.
    I don't think bitcoin will die any time soon, people can relax and not be afraid with this funny thoughts of some people. Probably they are just jealous cause they didn't find out about bitcoins sooner.

   I gambled like that before when I was much younger, without wife and kids. Now when situation is much different and when I'm not alone, and I need to think about others and not just about myself I don't have moment's when I go all in. I like sports and I'm satisfied with occasional bets mostly on football. And if I win something I'm happy for that, when I lose I don't bother myself because I never invest more then couple dollars every week or two.
    Gambling is for rich people who can afford them self to lose and not to ruin their lives with that loss. Never hope that you will gain something from gambling, in that case you will lose money faster then you think.
