Me? None. I would choose to hold that 1BTC and then continue doing stuffs like signature campaign and other freelancing services. I don't trust myself when it comes to trading. I would rather hold the coin long time than risk it. Trading is a zero sum game so those that are more knowledgeable and more skilled than you will just take away your money.

Another reason why I wouldn't trade it is that altcoins are just a way for people to get more bitcoins. I can become a victim of an altcoin with a scammer developer. A lot of coins have a long time vision but where are they now. They are all dead and the only ones that's alive in the market are major coins and new coins.

Before I joined bitsler, I asked the campaign owner if it's going to last for a long time because most campaigns back then would shut down after a month or so. Then the owner said that they are going to monitor first if the campaign is worth doing. Our signatures back then have a referral link from the manager so I guess that's what they used to monitor the traffic that they are getting from the signature campaign. I've been in this campaign for months and they haven't said a word about closing down the campaign so I think they are quite satisfied about it. In gambling sites, the payment rate for the signature campaign is not that much anyway since there are high rollers in gambling sites.

Think about it, if signature campaigns weren't working at all, there shouldn't be a signature campaign that lasts for a long time but you'd see in this forum that there are campaigns that have been here for years.

Kindly include if this campaign is Active/Open for new participants or if you guys are full just so we know where to put you in this table.

I wouldn't really say "kind enough" but rather I'll use "stupid enough". If you don't even know one of the basic stuffs in bitcoin, you shouldn't expose yourself just yet. Private key is called "private" for a reason. It's because it's not meant to be shared to other people. Sharing your private key is like giving out all of your bitcoins from that address.

The developers might have already think about a solution for the ever-increasing bitcoin's transaction fee but as long as they haven't implemented it on bitcoin yet, we will continue to experience huge transaction fees. A perfect solution is nothing if you fail to implement it.

Most famous people on Youtube only adopt to the trend, make their title interesting, and then that's it. For example, a clothing piece is trendy. Then as a Youtuber that have fashion as a niche, you're going to buy it and say your opinion about it. Another example is when you're a tech vlogger, you can simply go to a place where techy people meet other tech people and vlog your whole experience.

Looking at how much dumb people got success on the Internet will make you realize that it doesn't take some genius level of IQ to do the same thing. If you're funny and people like your aura, then they are going to watch you. Otherwise, you should think of another way to become relevant like bashing famous personalities. Tons of Youtubers do this just to get a little bit of fame and get some views.

Just because you don't see it happening, doesn't mean it's not happening. If I told you that there are tons of people getting beheaded every single day for no reason, would you believe me? I guess you'd ask where is my proof. But think about it. The world is so huge, almost everything that you can imagine is happening (except of course those that defies science). You might be living in a quite peaceful place but there are places that are totally not peaceful.

That's analogous to what you're trying to ask. "There is no proof." You don't know that illegal activities are happening with bitcoins as payment because you are at the wrong place. You are here in bitcointalk and illegal activities are prohibited here so you wouldn't see anything like that here. But simply go to reddit. There's a subreddit where you can buy drugs, which is totally illegal, using bitcoins.

But if you get paid in that asset, then the price shouldn't matter since the rate will be based in fiat. For example in this place, the signature campaigns change their payrate depending on how much is the price of bitcoin. Thus, you don't have to worry about price fluctuations since if you're earning 20$ per day in bitcoin form when the price was much higher, when the price goes lower, the payment rate will adjust and you'll get 20$ per in bitcoin form as well.

The price shouldn't matter to those people that convert their bitcoins right after receiving it but it's totally an unwise move for me since it removes your chance of selling your coins for a much higher price.

Not sure what facilities are you looking for but I really think that the only facilities that you need are an Internet provider and a smartphone or a computer. Nothing else. Almost everywhere those can be found. Even rural areas on third world countries have them. And if a place is going to establish an Internet connection in their place, it would be not for bitcoin specifically. The Internet is too broad to just focus on one subject. Establishing an Internet connection in an underdeveloped place would have tons of purpose that it will get years before we can list down all of them.

It's also totally possible that there are more transactions going on but the number of bitcoin users hasn't risen that much. For example, if a new website comes out and a lot of people joined it, the number of transactions will increase since people will be depositing and withdrawing more frequently. In other words, slow transactions are also caused by how much bitcoin moves from one user to another. I think it's referred to as market velocity or something.

Even higher transaction fees gives you a slow transaction, tbh. I tried it before and since there are people that are willing to pay more fee than you, you're still far from the high priority.

Back then 1BTC and higher doesn't mean much to people. People back then sees faucet sites the same way we see faucet sites today. It's worthless and it's a total waste of time. And since bitcoin was just starting back then and people are just using it purely for investment since they are believing that the price will skyrocket one day, people will probably just choose to buy bitcoins instead of doing faucets. No need to spend a lot of time for something that you're not sure of, right?

The majority of people will chicken out and leave the bitcoin community as soon as possible specially those that are just starting out and those that aren't earning much bitcoins. People wouldn't risk going to jail just for a couple of bucks. If I have other ways to earn money, I would do that instead. Right now, since I'm busy with somewhat trivial stuffs, I can't find a full time job and bitcoin seems the most lucrative amongst the opportunities that I know. When bitcoin goes banned, I probably would just switch to the second most lucrative opportunity, until the whole bitcoin ban drama goes down.

I kind of doubt that they have any control over bitcoins. Because why create something that will totally destroy the fiat system when in the first place, it's the thing that gives them control over us. In most countries (or at least the undeveloped once), it's not that currencies except the local one is banned. It's just that you cannot find a store that's accepting dollars or any other foreign currency. You have to exchange your money into a local currency first before you can buy something.

Bitcoin is used in the black market but that doesn't mean that the government is behind it. After all, how can you come up to that conclusion with such little information to back it up.

Because you can never change fiat but something can definitely replace it. Something that will make the whole fiat concept go obsolete. Something that people will surely embrace. Something that will free the people from the fiat slavery that they've been experiencing since mankind. Bitcoin is unique and much different from fiat because otherwise, there would be no effect at all.

Changing a little of something about fiat concept will not be enough reason for it to replace fiat. The reason why bitcoin is only accessible online is so that it can be used in a global level and not just in a certain country. After all, eventually we will all have access to the Internet.

First of all, the profit that you can get from time-depositing your money in the banks is too little to be worth mentioning. Banks are always the target of big time criminals. They are not going to rob you in particular since you probably have little amount of money compared to the banks. They are going to target the banks where everyone's money is located. Like, why would you choose to target a small one, when you can target a much larger one. If some genius would want to stop chaos in this world, for sure he will target the banks since almost everyone's problem came from financial issues.

"If you keep your own money, you are sure that it will not be lost or stolen." Funny how you pointed out that banks will give you the best security but here you mentioned that keeping your own money will assure that your money will never be lost or stolen.

Doesn't matter if there would be millions of cryptocurrencies that has been created when the government decided to take some action. They simply have to ban the use of all unregulated currencies most especially decentralized ones and unregulated ones. When they do that, it will be legal to use centralized cryptocurrency like digital fiat, digital gold, etc.

They don't have to ban bitcoins, and then ban etherium, then ban dash, then ban LTC, then ban Dogecoin. The government is quite smart. They are not going to put a ban on these currencies one by one but rather they will categorize them to ban them all at once.

Investing in multiple coins only lead to loss most of the time. Let's say that you got a coin that pumped up, the profit that you'll get from it will only recover your loss from the other coin investments. It's not profit at all. You'd be wasting your time if you continue to do this method. The only way that you'll get profit from this is when the majority of the coins that you bought has pumped up. And based on how you choose your coin (you said when the price is really cheap), I really think that you'll lose money.

Cheap coin doesn't guarantee profit. Most cheap coins have already been dumped by investors or the developers have already left. It's rare to see something that is booming in the market but has a cheap price.

How will there be a bonus when you use bitcoins? I don't see any increase in the amount of bitcoins that I receive everytime I do a transaction. Reduced taxes? Seller still have to pay the same amount of tax even when he started using bitcoins unless of course he did on purpose to avoid paying taxes by not submitting the right amount of income that he has.


This is the "If you want it, there's got to be a way." argument which I really fail to understand. I want to blow up the whole multiverse including but not limited to the universe that we live in. Since I desire that, there's a thought that's going to pop up in my mind on how to do it? I hardly think so.

And since you've mentioned that there's "lots of different options", would you mind sharing even just one?


This is the desperate approach. "Plz accept out BTC, we'll give you money." No one in the bitcoin world would want to pay more than he should just to use his bitcoins. The way I see it, the retailers will start accepting bitcoins when our population has started to blow up.

Not really, there's a market type called monopsony where there's only one buyer and there's many sellers. The price is not dictated by the supply/demand but rather by how much one of the sellers can go down. Obviously, the price will go down so much since there's only one buyer and price decrease is the buyer's advantage. Supply and demand market only happens when there's plenty of buyers that share the same marketplace.

I also disagree that "without demand, we won't be seeing bitcoin anymore in the Internet". Bitcoin will not just vanish, or any other item for that matter, just because there's no more demand to it. It will simply be removed from the picture (or the market) but it surely will continue existing in the world and you can find it if you know where to look.

Like they say, it's much better to have nothing than have very little of something. This is very analogous to your example. People that know of bitcoins but don't do anything about it probably don't know a lucrative way to earn bitcoins. They might searched something like "How to earn bitcoins for newbies" and then they found captcha-solving, faucet, PTC, etc. Once they tried it and they find out that they are not millionaires yet (and I'm not exaggerating here! Newbies want to be a millionaire once they clicked a button), they just stop doing bitcoins and go back to doing trivial stuffs like socializing on Facebook.

Let's be honest. It's any service ever made to help people? (except for donations, charity, and whatnot) Other business say that they are just doing it to help people but they are not. All business out there were made for the owners to make more money. If they are going to help people, then might as well save their time and just donate directly to charities, right?

Actually, even charities don't 100% help other people. Even the "volunteers" don't have the 100% intention of helping other people. We are all just so impolite that almost every action of ours have an ulterior motive. Charities get some of the money to their own pockets. "Volunteers" put aside to themselves some of the stuffs that they are giving out.
