Money isn't always the investment that you need. For example, when you get a job, you don't necessarily have to pay them money. All you have to be is qualified. When you're qualified, you just have to work and then you're going to earn money. Your pay rate is depending on your position on your work. The investment in most jobs are knowledge and time, but not always money.

But if we're talking about getting shares in a company or any of that kind of investment, then you're right. The more money that you invested, the faster you'll get profit.

Some people would say that it's okay to lose their money from gambling and say that it's a learning experience, too. People see what they want to see even if it means they're going to lose money. It's okay to consider those as "fee" for learning something if it's not that much. Otherwise, I think it would be much better if you buy a paid e-book out there. Find what's the best e-book about trading and you surely will learn much more than you can from losing money from trading. But I guess losing some money from trading is just a normal thing and it's experienced even by the excellent traders out there.

That might work to some users but not all users has a lending history. Remember that there's a lot of users here and there's very few users that has asked for loan and even people that have taken loan before can run away with your money as well.

The only thing that you'll be worrying about is if the collateral can be sold by the time that you need money. The only thing that's actually easy to sell are altcoins since there's an exchanger for that. Accounts from different sites and website domains are quite hard to sell as well unless it's in demand or the account/website has something that makes it easier to sell than the normal ones.

To some, it does. When people asked me where are my bitcoins, I said it's on the internet and they looked dismayed or disappointed. That shouldn't be a problem to me though because right from the start I was aware that bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and not a fiat currency. There are physical bitcoins that has a corresponding amount in the wallet but it costs a lot and we don't really need that physical coin to have transactions.

I can add in your post that bitcoin is basically the same as those digital form of money like the ones in paypal and bank accounts. Similar to those, you can convert your bitcoin into fiat as well.

Like who? I might not be that active when it comes to TV shows but I browse the internet a lot and I haven't found famous people preaching bitcoins around. I don't think the media even talked about it except for some social media pages that gives out posts about bitcoin. Most of the posts are negative, though, because of the popularity of bitcoin being used in the dark Net.

I don't think "everyone" thinks that bitcoin is the best investment right now since not everyone knows about bitcoin. Mostly just people that stays on the internet for a couple of hours every single day knows about bitcoin.

Me too and I think everyone else too. We all thought that bitcoin is some sort of scam and it's just another strategy of scammers. When you say to people that you can earn money online, the first thing that comes to mind is that you're doing some illegal stuffs. Pretty sure I've heard about bitcoin a long time ago as well but didn't give any attention to it. If I did, I should be rich by now. I shouldn't be in college, I should be somewhere else enjoying the money that I have made. Anyway, the only thing we can do now is regret being skeptical. Let's just look at the bright side that right now, we can earn money from bitcoins.

Hasn't it been always like that ever since? When the price is increasing, you keep holding your bitcoins. When the price seem to stop moving, you start selling some of your coins. If the bitcoin starts increasing once again, then you just have to hold your remaining bitcoins. When the price drops, you buy some bitcoins again. There's no difference at all. It's actually a good thing that the price is increasing and increasing. That means you don't have to wait for the price decrease or speculate at all since you know that the price is increasing day by day. Eventually, this rally will stop and you can sell some of your coins. This is profit for us, don't look at it as if it's a bad thing.

I think by "large BTC amounts" the OP meant, like, thousands of them. 10BTC is nothing compared to how much the whales hold. I might be large for us because we're an average guy but for rich people 10BTC is a really small amount of money. OP is actually asking about a million dollar worth of bitcoin. That's more than a thousand of bitcoins.

Giving out loans is just as risky as trading. It might even be riskier since you have no idea who are the people that you're giving loans while in trading you can sell your coin when the price starts to drop. There has been a lot of discussion about giving loans in this forum and mostly it's because of the collateral. I checked the people that has given out loans for a long time and the stats of the people that has paid them is actually quite good. But upon checking the whole thread, they are actually really picky on choosing people to give loans. It's not a quick way to earn bitcoins but it's a good way to do so if you know how to choose the right people.

I think that's actually a good thing. Having a few bitcoin users around you is much better than having none at all. At least you know you're not a 1 around all these 0 people (0 and 1 are binary stuff). You guys are actually the key to make an awareness about bitcoins around you. Now that you have 3 other bitcoin users, you can unite and introduce bitcoins to your friends if you want to.

Bitcoin doesn't have a company at all but there are tons of companies that are bitcoin-related. I don't think there's much people that spend their money just to advertise bitcoin itself. They advertise their bitcoin-related company so they get some returns/profits out of all the advertisements.

That's why most articles are written in a language that most people can understand. No one wants to read an article that's so technical that you'd feel you're reading some technical manual about bitcoin. Most article writers write in a way that their reader would feel as if the writer is just talking to them personally. Some even include words like, "Haha" and whatnot to even show emotions in their article.

People would just back-off if they found words in your article that they do not understand. Keep in mind that there's a lot of articles written on the internet, you don't have to force yourself to read something that have technical words. Nonetheless, watching youtube videos would give you similar results as reading this type of article because the video maker is literally talking to you.

Lol what are the scientists doing in the bitcoin network?

I agree with you that you can't use the number of wallets that has been made in the blockchain network as a statistics of how many people are there. There are no personal info needed to make one, one IP can make a huge number of bitcoin wallet. We don't even know how many bitcoin wallets does an average bitcoin user has. You said there's 10 million wallets. Thousands of wallets can be owned by just a single company of like gambling sites, etc. Imagine how many companies are there. We are far from reaching 10 million in population.

With this payrate, you can never be rich. Maybe if you don't spend a single bitcoin and you do signature campaign for a decade, at that point you already have a decent amount of money. I wouldn't recommend that you stay doing signature campaigns only because the only way for you to get a higher pay rate is when your account ranks up but even with Legendary status you're not going to earn that much.

What we should do is earn some money from signature campaign and then use that money as a capital for a business. Most rich people got rich because of their business anyway.

Anything that's on the internet cannot be easily banned. Cyber-bullying is an example of it. There's a law about that but here we are, having more and more cyber-bullies. There are people that even commit suicide because of cyber-bullying. Anyone can cyber-bully, they just have to mask their identity.

Similar to accessing bitcoins, you just have to mask your identity and pretend that you're from another country where bitcoin isn't banned. But, if there are other ways to earn money, I wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't risk going to jail for a couple of years just because I was a bitcoin user. Even though you can hide your identity or mask it, there are still ways for you to get caught.

Thanks a lot! Keep in mind that you can use paste.ee rather than pastebin. Pastebin usually has captcha before you can finish pasting and paste.ee doesn't that's why I use it.

There's actually someone in this thread that said he wasn't interested in the price of bitcoin because according to him, he just cash out and cash in bitcoins regardless of its price. If you would back read for a couple of minutes, you'll find him. I think the current price of bitcoin doesn't actually matter to the people that have their minds set that they are going to sell their coins after a couple of decades. Whatever the price before that is doesn't matter.

In return, what would you get? People asking you for more tutorials. You will eventually get tired of lecturing all those people around your area. Trust me. Doing bitcoins is a skill and not just something that you teach to a person and then the next day he can earn as much as you do. Just orient them about bitcoins and tell them that if they want some actual online job, then study bitcoins. Tell them to not expect anything big at first since their skill isn't that well just yet.

Eventually, you don't have to teach people anymore since they will just teach each other. It might not be that much but seeing a bitcoin community around you grow because of you is something.

Extremely dangerous? Did someone point a gun on you when you were trading altcoins or have someone threaten you when you converted your bitcoins into ETH? I think the right word that you should use is "risky" but not "extremely risky". You can always minimize your loss in altcoin trading by selling when you feel the market is going to drop. Plus, the bitcoin value is not constantly increasing. It's decreasing as well. Right now, we're at 865$, we were at 910$+ yesterday. I'm using this website (http://bitcointicker.co/) to keep up with the real time chart of bitcoin by the way.

I don't think so. I'm living in a poor people area for so long and people here has a traditional economy. Meaning, they do what their parents used to do like farming and fishing. Years ago, there was no internet connection here and now that there is, people are just busy browsing Facebook and not using the internet to earn money. I'm not saying that they're using the internet in the wrong way but the fact that I have here disagrees with your opinion.

The people that has an access to the internet years ago mostly live in the city. In the city, you could earn much more than you can earn from doing bitcoin stuffs so I guess that's why they don't rely on feeding themselves by earning bitcoins.

I can't understand what you meant by "to rank below the hero member". Did you mean signature campaigns that accept ranks that are lower than hero member? If so, then all of the "Active" ones accept Sr member and below.

But you're just at member rank so I suggest that you go with BitDouble.io. If you're not accepted, try 777coin then Bitvest then Secondstrade. If you're not accepted to any of those, you should step up (improve) your posts.
