How weird to see most of all agrees that cloud mining is most probably a scam due to the nearly impossibility to gain profit in reality whilst most people around me is super hyped in putting a lot of chunk of money into one cloud mining program - HashOcean. I am scared to tell them what you guys pointed out because I am new at this Bitcoin thing and they are the one introducing Bitcoin to me. How must I put it out to them in a gentle and subtle way so that they might see the light?? 

Thank you all  for the word of advice. I put the poll because that is the list of options that I can think of.. but it seems that none give a positive result. I'm gonna close em up. Right now the price already has gone high.. and retract a bit, but not as much as 50% from what it has gained. I think it can get down a little bit more but nothing is solid as there are a lot of fundamental and sentiments that can affect the movement. I have not yet bought any bitcoin and still watching the price market to consider its short term price target until Halving Day. Is there someone who analyse the market price and can give a quick analysis?

So from what I have been given advice, the way to get some gain is:

1. Buy Bitcoin, keep it safe until price is sky rocketing and then sell them.
2. Buy Bitcoin, trade it buy low sell high.

To avoid loss don't do this:

1. Buy Bitcoin, put into cloud mining services.
2. Buy Bitcoin, go gamble them off.
3. Buy Bitcoin, put into High Yield Investment Program that's is a Ponzi Scheme.

I though Bitcoin is more fun. It looks more like normal currency to me and in high motion too! 

They say until the halving day come the price will increase constantly and after the halving day arrive it will start to drop back to a certain amount significantly. Also those with ponzi schemes might collapse due to unable to pay the members. Old hardware also might be unprofitable. Would it be wiser to wait for the purchase of Bitcoin until then because Bitcoin seems like getting a cleanup? Maybe around 3rd or 4th week of July is a good time to actually buy?

I see that the price of bitcoin is getting higher every day.. should I get some before it becomes too expensive and too much money needed to get one? And I hold dear to it until the halving day comes and at that point of time the price is rocketing sky high?

Wow.. I was going to the wrong direction from the start! Thanks a lot.. maybe I  have to warn all my other friends in regard to this. They are pumping in a lot of serious money to the bitcoin cloud mining services. Hopefully they have time to get them out. Can the money we purchased the services be returned back?

Hello friendlies..

I am new here and to the Bitcoin world too. Seems that I have kinda missed the hype about Bitcoin from 2009 until now but I hope I am not way too late to jump in the wagon. I hope I can make friends here to help me guide and talk together about Bitcoin and what can I do with it.

Maybe some experts can ease up my thought. I have in my mind to get some Bitcoin at the end of this month but I have some hesitation due to the 'halving day'. My plan is to get around 1 Bitcoin by buying them at this end of the month and immediately invest in a cloud mining operation to gain more Bitcoin in the coming months. Do you guys think this is a good plan or is it wiser to get the Bitcoin and wait until 'halving day' before investing in the cloud mining operation?

Well this is my first question and I hope we can have more further discussion on this later on what to do best.
