But even fiat needs an internet connection. For example, if you want to withdraw from the bank, you are unable to do so if there's no internet connection. Maybe your statement is true only to people that use cash (or fiat's physical form) but not to people that mainly use card to buy things.

Mass adoption is the only answer to your problem - bitcoin not getting accepted by everybody. As for you, it doesn't have to be literally everybody but only people that you transact with. You can influence your business partners or people that you always do cash transaction with to try bitcoins.

Which part of clicking and solving captchas does it teach you about what bitcoin really is? You will surely get the impression of thinking that every satoshi is important (or whatever) if you do faucet. But once you stopped doing it and started looking for other ways to earn bitcoins, you would think that you were so foolish to do all those work and spend all your time doing faucets. You would think that you should've just deposited even $5 to start in bitcoins and do research instead for all those time.

Because they have a referral program. Literally every company that has a affiliate program will always have tons of videos like this. Some would even make clickbaits just to refer people. If you're dumb enough to believe this "trick", you will not hesitate and you'll quickly click the link given by the guy who posted the video.

Back then, I also like looking for tips & tricks for different websites. Turns out, I wasted days of my life. There's no tips & tricks since the dev will always patch that quickly. It would be pretty cool if you find one though.

I'm sure that there are doubters like you back then when we were still at 100$ phase saying that "the price is high right now, I don't think I should buy." Of course it is high right now if you compare it to the past price. But if you compare it to the price that it will have in the far future, you will try to get as much bitcoins as you can right now.

It's not mandatory for you to buy bitcoins right now, but the longer you wait, the higher the price might get unless another crash happens like a major exchanger getting hacked.

Sad to say but there's no rules or anything about things like these. Anyway, I think this thread is just for the compilation of the running campaigns and it's your choice if you're going to join them or not.

Agreed. I don't know what exactly is their reason for making it like that but I guess they just don't want to answer things like "Why is there no escrow?", "Why are there limited funds?" and any variant of those.

All of these comes down to one point -- They have limited funds (or much less than other companies's fund). No escrow, no manager, copy + paste of signature. And we should expect more similar campaigns in the future as many starting companies don't have the funding yet.

Anyway, there are also campaigns like that one (for example crazybtrade), but didn't run or anything. Joining is your choice just like I said.

Apparently, that's not going to happen. The government will not start legalizing bitcoins. Simply talking about bitcoins would expose it to the public and that's something that the government don't want to happen. When that happens, people would know the truth that you can avoid paying all these expenses issued by the government. Most people don't want to pay income tax since it takes a huge percent of your income and there's 12% VAT in literally everything that we buy.

I think people would start accepting bitcoins because a lot of people are looking for it and not because the government said so.

Or they are making money out of bitcoins and they are tired of dealing with newbies so they want to discourage the "sheep". Only the ones that are interested enough to research about being dead will remain and I think that's actually a good thing. People that believe on everyone just do not belong here as there are many hoax going on in here. Anyone can say anything about something. Everyone has their own opinion and it would be really hard for that "sheep" to keep up since he believe everything that people say.

There are shops that do not accept cards. They don't have that swipe thing. You can only pay in cash and nothing else. Even though it's really exciting to have a bitcoin card and buy things as if you're using fiat, why not just use your fiat card then? The price of bitcoin is very volatile and personally I would choose to hold my bitcoins and then use fiat mainly to pay for stuffs even when let's say I have a bitcoin card. I will get profit when the price of bitcoin increase so I don't want to spend them. It's much more practical if you ask me.

If I had 1,000,000$ I wouldn't risk all of it just to get 50$ a day. I would hire a professional and ask about what can I do to make that money grow. It might come to a point when you were gambling to get 50$ a day and then you got greedy. So you manually bet your money, you might even end up losing all that 1,000,000$.

If someone would claim that he has a script that allows him to earn 50$ a day, I wouldn't buy it. He just got lucky and you don't have the assurance that you're going to be lucky like him. In the long run, you're going to lose your money in gambling.

I would probably just keep on saving those money since it's coming daily and when I get big enough capital, then I would open up my own business. I probably would buy some altcoins as well to have some more profits. I wouldn't invest it in some site because most of it is just a scam. You don't even know what are they doing to make your money grow.

You could also go back to college because 40$ should be enough for tuition fees and your cost of living especially if you live a third world country. Education is something that you're going to be needing once things go bad in the bitcoin world.

I believe that everyone is an expert at something. The skill that he was talking about doesn't necessary require it to be programming. If you don't have a skill right now, then learn one. There's always that one skill that interests you a lot. Since we already have the internet, it's not that hard to learn that skill as there's a lot of tutorial in youtube. It's all in you, it all depends on what are you going to do about it. Every skill can be profitable, you just need to find out how.

There's this strategy called "Stop gambling start looking for a job" technique. It has changed lives ever since. I think it really works if you follow the technique well. Gambling isn't something that can give you 50$ a day since you're not going to be lucky enough to win so every single day. Gambling has helped very few people and the rest have lost money. Stop fantasizing ideas and realize that you belong to that majority of people that lost money in gambling.

I don't recommend looking for "motivation". Motivation is just like a feeling. It goes away after a day or two. I haven't seen someone motivated 24/7. Even the people featured on TV or in Youtube in motivational videos still have days that they aren't motivated at all. What I'm going to recommend is discipline. When you have discipline, you don't need motivation at all. Motivation would make things easier but you wouldn't have to depend on that anymore since you're a disciplined person.

Everyone was once a newbie and I think recommending altcoin trading to newbies are actually a good start. That way, they'll be forced to do research about altcoins and trading.

By the time they finished doing research, they'll know:
- That there's more coins other than bitcoin.
- You can participate in ICOs.
- Whales and the pump and dump
- Scam coins
- Rise only market
- disadvantage and advantage of altcoins and bitcoins
- and basically how does the price of bitcoin and all the altcoins move.

I think knowing all of these is really good for newbies for start. When someone says "you should do altcoin trading", you don't buy altcoins right away. You have to do all these necessary research first.

I hope you don't find a nice investment site. If a site being "nice" is your only criteria, I'm sure that you'll get scammed by all those hyip sites. If you try and do some research about the best bitcoin investment sites, you'll find blogs out there that are saying that this and that websites are legit and have been running for a while now. There would be posts like "check this new cloud mining site!" or "how I started getting 10$ a day". All of them are just posts that are intended to make you excited and sign-up under their referral code.

Thanks!

That's the most basic definition of gambling and I think that we should remind ourselves that definition every now and then. People are thinking that gambling can become an investment and the way they're going to make profit is by running an autobetting script. I've even seen people selling scripts and the title of their thread is something like "Turn (name of a gambling site) into an investment site using this script!". I know it's just a way of advertising but there come a time when I actually thought that I've found a good script that can defeat the gambling system.

Nowadays, people think that gambling is another way to earn money. It's nothing but a game that has money involved and it should remain like that.

You can always switch to using other coins. It's much quicker if you use other coins but if you're going to cash out the money, you would most probably end up converting it into bitcoins first in an exchanger and then send the bitcoins to your bitcoin wallet. That requires much more actions than sending using bitcoins alone.

I think you should always save some coins in your wallet so you don't get pressured when you need some money. Just like you said, sometimes the transactions takes much more time than it usually does.

If you pay higher fees, your transaction gets prioritized and if it still takes time to get it confirmed, then surely the network was really slow at that time. Otherwise, paying higher fees will always shorten the transaction time.

I think cryptocurrencies are the money of the Internet. If it's on the internet, then everyone in the world can access it. So basically cryptocurrencies are worldwide currency (even though it's not issued or regulated by the government)

Then how does the price of bitcoin moves? If you have enough bitcoins, you can make the price of it move. Same when you have enough fiat money. It's just average individuals alone cannot manipulate the price of it, but whales can.


Back to the idea of having large enough bitcoins can make the price move. If you were the creator of bitcoins, wouldn't you mine coins after you've launched the coin. I'm sure satoshi and his team (if there's any) have been mining right after they launched it and they have enough coins to make the price of bitcoin move.

There's actually a way.. I believe that in gambling, it's all about the timing of your exit. Those people that are smart enough to know that once they got to positive profit, they'll not get back there again will surely cash out when they're already winning. Most of us should've touched positive profit once or twice in our journey. That was our time to get out of the gambling site and never come back.

I remember when somebody wins big, people force them to get out of the gambling site right away. It was so they wouldn't bet anymore. It was so that they wouldn't lose any of those profit.

If you win and you get out of the gambling site. Gambling has helped your life financially.
