Has anyone got paid from this campaign?

All the "success" stories about gambling just gives the newbie gamblers a motivation to put more and more bet. The leaderboards also keep these people motivated and cause them to think that they can achieve that amount of profit too. Some might even put fake scores in the leaderboards just so people would want to try and beat it.

Some people are starting to consider gambling as an investment because the are basically the same thing. You put money, you risk it, and then hope for the best. But to me, gambling is nothing but a way to lose all of your money. You should consider your bet money as "gone" and consider yourself lucky if that money comes back at all. And consider yourself extremely lucky if that came back with some profits.

I would advise that you just hold that bitcoins instead of gambling them. Holding bitcoin is a proven way to earn some extra bucks depending on how long and at what price you bought and sold your coins.

If you're going to base bitcoin's growth by just last year's market, then it's really really excellent. Some might even say that it's too good to be true. But if you look at the whole chart, bitcoin was unnoticed for quite some time, and then hyped to $1200 and then went downhill up to $200. And then slowly made it's way up. Recently bitcoin has gathered a lot of attention but this is nothing compared to what we would have a couple of years from now. I do believe in bitcoin as well so I'm spending as little money as I can.



This is the typical investment method. You don't put that much money at first just so you can try out the water first before jumping right to it. On the other hand, bitcoin has already proved its worth and what it can do so I think that investing your all your investment budget right away is alright. Only putting a small amount of investment in bitcoins will just lead to you investing in altcoins and most altcoins just die after a couple of weeks or months because of the lack of hype or real investors.

I think that you are not seeing the bigger picture here. You think that bitcoin is popular just because you are in this forum. This is what you see and maybe your friends are also using bitcoin. But at the end of the day, there are millions of Amazon users, eBay users, and all the other famous online shopping sites out there and they all use Paypal. Paypal is still the leading payment method and people have already become confident using it. Bitcoin is a little too advanced for the mainstream people today.

As people, we have our own needs and wants. Some people need/want bitcoin because the things that he/she wants to buy can be found on this forum but there are also people that needs Paypal and they are a lot more compared to bitcoin users.

If you teleport back to year 2000 with a Samsung S8+, everyone is not ready. Everyone is not ready for that type of technology and you will be told that you came from the future (which is true in this case). Point being, the people will not be able to comprehend the device that you are holding. Some might even bid on your phone just because it's a lot more advanced than the current technology. Anyways, it has actually been a long time when we smartphones were invented but it was only recently that it got booming. It's because back then the mainstream aren't ready for smartphones just yet. Now that we have evolved, we are all holding our own iPhones and they are all advanced as compared to what we had a couple years ago.

Point being? Bitcoin is a little advanced today, but not tomorrow.

One thing is for sure, democracy is nothing but an illusion. They say that the power is on us but then we don't even have a say on what the government wants to do. All we can do is follow because otherwise we will either be killed or be in jail or be in jail and then later on killed. I do believe that the government can never control bitcoin. They can ban all cryptocurrencies but how are they going to keep up? With a simple VPN, you can bypass ISP's disabled websites. Additionally, new ICOs are popping up every single day. Plus, they can't possibly ban forum sites or communities like reddit. I bet that most bitcoin forum sites have an anonymous admin or at least there would be new bitcoin forums that have a totally anonymous admins.

To sum up, the government have no power here. Like what they say, you can never know what a technology can do until a certain amount of time. The government is the one that made the Internet. Now the people have learned things and also learned how to bypass the government's ways.

There's a reason why they don't know about those stuffs -- They are not interested about it. For them bitcoin is a mere form of investment and so that's how they treat it. They don't care what's going on under the hood. They don't care about the nodes and all that and that shouldn't concern you at all. It doesn't even concern them. What I realized is that as time goes by and the more bitcoin becomes like a usual currency, the more the technical part of bitcoin will be neglected. Supply and demand is just common knowledge, so people would know how bitcoin's price is determined.

We don't have to teach them at all. Just imagine a teacher trying to teach Math class to an English major student. The reason why he/she took English as a major is because that's what they are interested on. It's not that he's totally not into Math, it's just that he's not interested. This is analogous to people only wanting to learn about the investment and money making aspect of bitcoin and not the technicalities.

You are lucky that your parents are supporting you. Funny how you think other kids are just out there hanging out with friends. You know why they do that? It's because they are too lazy or too dumb to do something about their lives. Most teenagers don't get any financial support from their parents. Maybe not in your country, though. In some places, it's like required to move out of the house after a certain age. It is so that the kid would start learning new things instead of living his early 20s inside his room just playing Minecraft or whatever. If you browse social media regularly, you might have stumbled upon articles about Millennials not earning enough to live. Well, that certainly is true. The jobs offering are so limited and there might be good offers but you wouldn't have enough experience for the job. So you'd end up having a part time job in some boring neighborhood and have a really low pay rate.

Now let me ask you this. If your salary isn't even enough to pay for your food, transportation, and shelter, how are you going to save money? Let's be real here. 100$ wouldn't get you anywhere in crypto. 200$ wouldn't as well. You need large amount of money to actually earn something from investing in bitcoins.

Known worldwide by hundreds of thousands of people. There are instagram models that have more followers than bitcoin users. What we have right now is a lot less than what's awaiting us in the far future in the bitcoin world. The price which is 6k$ is still nothing compared to how much bitcoin will be in a couple of years assuming that all things go well and no technology will take over bitcoin's current throne. The room for improvement with bitcoin is a long way to go. I suggest that we all hold at least 1BTC until we get old. Don't spend your precious bitcoins in things that you can live without. Only spend your bitcoin on things that are an investment rather investing it in things that are merely "wants" or yours because one day, bitcoin will skyrocket for real and all of our holdings will pay off.

Merchants aren't accepting bitcoin yet. Bitcoin is not mainstream yet. And it's all just a matter of time for all of these to happen and that's the future of bitcoin.

Forex is, like, dying. The players of Forex are starting to move to cryptocurrencies. It's only obvious that a lot of people will be so into bitcoin because of the huge price increase that we've had this year.

I think that bitcoin getting banned in all countries will just make it more known by people. They are going to do research as to why did all the government got united and banned bitcoins. Let's just say that hypothetically they were able to kill bitcoin with this method, then how about all the other cryptocurrencies? There are a lot of alternatives to bitcoin, some might even have a slightly better feature. Killing bitcoin will be very pointless because cryptocurrencies are created so easily. Banning bitcoin is like announcing to the masses that there is a monetary system that can free you from the fiat system and the government is so scared of it so they did the most desperate move -- ban it.

But you didn't really offer him what to replace Coinbase with. It's like saying not to drink water but didn't say what type of other liquid should he drink. Should he drink soda, pepsi, coke? None of that information. I suggest that you find a local online wallet. In my case, the local online wallet uses the exchange rate at the time that you requested cash out. Once you've issued a cash out, the wallet is just waiting for you to pay. It does have an expiration though. I think this is to prevent having people have multiple cash out and cash in requests and use those to trade funds whenever a spike is happening and make profit just by that little loophole.

In case you want to actually be "secure", you should use a desktop wallet or an offline wallet. Coinbase is on the Internet and it's no brainer that hackers are going to try to put it down and gather all the coins that coinbase has. Once that happens, you cannot do anything because it's not coinbase's fault that they got attacked so much and with the amount of coins that's in their system, they are never going to be able to pay all that.

From the first post:

But bitcoin itself don't give out 15% profit per day. Like you said, no investment can give 15% per day. Bitcoin might rise 15% yesterday but it is not moving 15% every single day. If it is, then we should all be millionaires by now considering that it's going to increase exponentially. In a matter of a year, with just 1BTC we can live in Dubai along with all those rich kids that have fathers that own an oil company. You see, that's not the case, right? Not even the Legendary people here have that much because bitcoin isn't increasing 15% profit per day.

All investments that are moving very slowly are alright. Your investments don't have to be skyrocketing every single day and I don't think there is really an investment like that. If someone says that the investment scheme he is on is like that, he's probably lying and is trying to scam you. As long as your investment is moving uphill, then it's okay even if it's moving very slowly (maybe not ridiculously slow though). An increase is still an increase.

Joining signature campaigns on bitcointalk is not a bad idea but being just a Jr. Member wouldn't take you near 100$ a month. I mean, like, it might but it takes so much time and effort for that little amount of money. You should wait until you turn full member before you join and allot the saved time for reading things about bitcoin because you need that in order to discuss with other people here and give out your opinion to a certain subject. It's quite hard at the start to offer your service in this place especially with a low rank so there are people offering their service for free. Just so they can have a portfolio and they can have the reputation that they can actually do the job that was asked for them to do. This whole place is built by trust and position so being a newbie is really hard. There will always be "lions" in this forest and as "mouse" you have to be patient until you grow up and be able to compete with the trusted people.

Very well put. Let me guess, you are not from poverty? Let me tell you this, it really is not hard to earn money. What is hard is getting the amount of money that you want. If you are from poverty, you will grow up not being in school and once you have matured and started having goals, that's when you will realize what hell your parents have put you to. But that's not their fault neither. Their parents did it to them as well and so they didn't have the money to send you to school. How do you think physical work has become so common in third world countries? It's because a lot are uneducated and can't perform knowledge work.

So many people end up wasting their time. As you can see, there are people that have done bad decisions in life and all. I would say that direction is better than jumping to doing any type of effort. A lot of people are doing things, just to end up nowhere. Know where you want to be and work on that instead of working and then later on trying to decide where you can be.

I think the reason behind the people and the government not wanting bitcoin are different. People are very skeptical about everything that has been said by just a regular person. They believe what the celebrities are saying but will do a quick research if you told them something new. When the terms "Internet", "investment", "money", and "online" are all in one text, oh boy you should be ready for a debate. People are going to think right away that it's just some MLM company and so they are going to think so negatively of what you are saying. Some might even dismiss the discussion right away without even hearing your explanation of bitcoin. There are others that would hold back but still think to themselves that you are trying to pursue them to joining your networking company.

The government, on the other hand, has a different reason. They don't like bitcoin because bitcoin is the opposite of their fiat system. Fiat system is what they are using to enslave each and everyone of us into working 9-5 every single day of our lives until we eventually die.

I'm going with Paypal disappearing because bitcoin and Paypal are both used widely on the Internet. In real life, we have banks and we get that cash aren't just going to disappear. they aren't built in hype or some trend anymore. They are built by tradition. The tradition that people have been worshiping money ever since it was created. The tradition that we have to work so hard and get so little in return. And even if we do get a lot fiat money, it's purchasing power is now too little because of the constant inflation going on.

Let's face it. Paypal is what the scammers are using. You see someone here offering his Paypal for your BTC, you better be careful. Even though in the buyer protection policy of Paypal it is said that the buyer can't dispute the payment if it was for a digital good, the scammer can simply just say that he was hacked and he never really had that transaction. We all should use bitcoin but the only thing that's keeping Paypal alive is all the online stores that we use that accepts it and not bitcoin.

Or maybe you can become self employed and have yourself accept offers from people. Being not unemployed doesn't necessarily mean that you are employed. You can be other things. Would you consider a freelance photographer unemployed? Maybe, or maybe you should not because he is not totally unemployed. He is self-employed and he is offering his skills to people and is earning money from it. In this forum, we are not really employed but we still get decent payment. It's all under a term of agreement that you work for that certain company or people. Signature campaigns are a good example of this. Each of us don't have any written contract that we work under that company but rather we are working together in order to promote their website or their product. Are we unemployed? You can look at it like that or are we self-employed?

Same goes for people that work as a signature campaign manager, BB code maker, photoshopper, encoder, and all the other things that you can offer on the Internet, are they unemployed because they are not employed by a certain employer?

Well let me tell you that those random characters in bitcoin address is generated. Bitcoin is basically money with cryptography. Do you realize how secure that makes the whole thing? I don't know about you but I'd rather ask people about their btc address and copy+paste it rather than having a Paypal account and then get the past transactions disputed by scammers. True, Paypal's interface is very very intuitive but bitcoin is for people that have some common sense. You have to do some research about bitcoin but of course you can use an online wallet which acts a lot like Paypal in the aspect of being intuitive.

I think the biggest advantage of bitcoin is security. The government don't know that you are already holding tons of money and just waiting for the right time to sell them and they can't put tax on you for doing that. In Paypal, if you earned a relatively a lot of money, then your account will either be suspended, frozen, or hacked. Paypal even freezes your account with no apparent reason and you can research on that to see how much people have experienced that.
