Bitcoin is really a good investment now because for the main reason it was from even before, it is volatility can yield tremendous profit. making money online using it. It is a great opportunity that cryptocurrency investor should be grabbed on specially with trading altcoins and getting thousands percent returns. It is getting more and more popular.

Yes Bitcoin should have a future and i firmly believe in Bitcoins .Already Bitcoin has grown and is still rising its in progression so which means bitcoin has a lot more potential and it will be a much more bigger success in future than what it had already achieved.

Pretty good to get hotels accepting BTC, particularly because of it's online and easy to use nature I think preserving, singing in and paying would be far more convenient if done with BTC. in addition the risk of CC copying and the like wouldn't exist at all, Confirmations too wouldn't be an issue (10 minutes in a hotel you are reserving in for at least a night).

I guess they would be at some point in time, even if it's already when it went mainstream... Regarding the influence on BTC, sure, like any financial system when someone controls allot they will have a major impact but it's not necessarily bad, and considering the market cap, they wouldn't be able to control it singlehandedly or the like.

Your principle is flawed in many ways,
* Bitcoin, too can work %100 offline, with a physical wallet or a phone etc... just like a credit card or a bank work offline, that's not a point here.
* Cash has no fees, but as far as I know CC and banks do.
* BTC technically can work for these too, and is being used, it's not mainstream in those fields but nothing prevent it.
* Um, CC and Banks take days to actually confirm something, unless you are only taking about cash.
* NO, this one is just unacceptable, CC are the main reason of financial fraud and that's everyone's knowledge, Bank accounts can be hacked too so it's actually the opposite, Cash and BTC have the 0 exchange risks.
* when CC came out, That was the same in a way, with no one familiar with it, time fixes these kind of things.

I suggest buying directly from a third party rather than the mining companies themselves, since they are known for awful delays that makes the devices nearly worthless by the time they are delivered.
Personally at the current time, I find scrypt and other types of mining more interesting, since it allows most altcoins, hence a wide ranger of items to pick from.

if I were satoshi the only move I would avoid doing would be revealing myself, Why? First, personal risk due to the oversized wallets from the beginning of bitcoin, Second, it would disturb the market and people buying/selling (I don't know why, but it would definitely).
I guess he/she would be proud of the work they did and how it gained worldwide acception.

By all current standards, we are already in the moon with a huge unprecedented rise in bitcoin price, Now we can just wait for the next bump and go to mars this time
Seriously, bitcoin price is getting stably positive which is the best possible for investors buying into it.

I don't think the price can never be considered to be confirmed a not-working, regardless of how high it is, it can go higher (if you think about it, in the beginning when it reached an all time high of $1500 people though the same), Not saying you should buy now but at least follow the market carefully.

if I don't understand the loaning principle in poloniex then these loans should be under some other category at least, "defaulted" or "expired" etc... I don't think they just disappear even if paid in full or defaulted. Did you contact poloniex support and asked about the situation?

Buying bitcoins anytime soon is both risky and might be profitable, the trend seems so stressed to the degree... seeing it at $2000 for a while though IMO.

IMHO bitcoin is able to penetrate the $5000 but of course not now, I think the current surging trend will end something around $2500 or so and then stabilize along with this range, sometimes even been pushed back. To get another 4-5 rising trend BTC would at least need few years.

That kind of stunt that attracts people is usually one of those football field hoppers or nude in the streets, Honestly speaking I don't see that doing any use to bitcoin right now as people will just regard it as awkward and wouldn't really think about it, The other issue is the one who will do it, If someone enters the SuperB field for example, it will result in a heavy penalty and some jail time so... not worth it for the guy as well.

it's quite interesting indeed, Also in addition to SK, China also shown great interest in bitcoin and altcoins before and are one of the major players (in bitcoin world population), Considering how these nations are technically innovated Bitcoin and virtual currencies won't be like a riddle to them.

me too ! :O

Started with getting 0.1 from coinbase after registration way before when coinbase just opened, it's now equivalent to more than 200 hundred dollars, didn't really keep them long though or bough before the price raised.

regardless of me being a full bitcoin enthusiast this prediction is more than I would dare to expect in the current time, I'd say somethin along the range of ~$3000 can be reached but more than x8 that it would be so hard and almost impossible to rationally predict right now.

The bitcoin price is the result of allot of factors playing out together, for example the demand and the sellers (the clearest too) but even different financial news and the conditions of countries impact it greatly, very hard to predict the overall direction IMO.

There is a huge amount of people buying BTC at this time (or until very recently at least), the evidence is the fact the price is increasing therefore there is more demand than selling, that can't be achieved except with people buying and new cash getting pushed in the network.
Signature and SM campaigns and the like are perfect for some to get started but not an actual big investment.

it's actually very difficult to consider BTC as your main source of income regardless of how tempting, relaxing, quick and profitable it is, because of the lack of safe profit and regular profit, it's unpredictable both in the term of price or the other related industries to it (i.e bitcoin projects) that can be shutdown without any precedent information, so making stable profit from it should be very hard.

Nowadays, I get asked 2-3 per week at least, some of them from a distant relative that I successfully recruited to bitcoin Club, also few fellow students, When I told them about it a year or so weren't so interested and though of it as a joke, but with all the media coverage and the recent malware attack, they began to think of it as money.
