I've been lurking for a long time and figured I would finally post  I have got to say that Bitcoin is totally awesome! I just purchased some bits and hosting all from my Nexus 5! The even more awesomer thing? I didn't have to enter any personal information! (Well, not entirely true: I did at Coinbase so I can buy bits instantly  ) Anyway, thanks for creating this wonderful community. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Welcome to the forum!
There's a lot of interesting conversations going on by a lot of smart people here, don't be shy about poking around on some sub-forum you never thought you'd find interesting, you'll be surprised by the variety of chatter. It's great stuff!

Awesome as it is. Stumbled upon this decentralized currency on an internet ad. I'm thinking of joining the community. Am I too late?  |

Welcome, yes you are right bitcoin is awesome, but people isn't.
Most of them are nice, but there is also a big percent who are scammers, so look out if you will ever do any transactions in the forum.

It's mesmerizing... People seem to be so astounded when they pay for some goods with Bitcoin for the first time. I'm still not certain if it is just a great feeling or if they really only then understand that it works out fine like with any other FIAT currency. - Even though people around here are mostly Bitcoin enthusiasts and supporters!

I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

But be aware, as you wrote, anonymity level depends also on your behaviour. Keep that in mind, be vigilant. Welcome and good luck discovering other great features. |

Next time, you could buy bitcoin with face-to-face trades through localbitcoins, and you don't need to give any personal info to the bitcoin sellers. |

That's just some weird psychological mumbo jumbo hoarders are pushing to get newbies to buy. They are called "bitcoins", man. BITCOINS. 1 BTC = 1 BTC. |

Yea, The bitcoin technology make so many things so easy. International transfers can now be done without much effort, with almost no fees. And micro transactions are made possible for smaller guys to exist online. Where previously, online transactions, were VERY expensive, and the benefit of doing online micro transactions, were absorbed by banking fees. A true disruptive technology.  |

Bitcoin is great, but there is infinity of place for further improvement.
Im actualy sad to see so much price gain, and so little development on the coin itself, and on its infrastructure.
However, the real epic moments are yet to come, since in the following months/year many of the "if" questions will be answered, from many ban notices, to mainstream adption.
If it doesnt gain/keep traction, if will huff and puff, and be forgotten like it never existed

That's true the next few months/years are the make or break point for Bitcoin it's becoming a adult and growing but as it grows it will face more and more difficult problems. I have faith in it though as we have had some major speed bumps through the last year and we have recovered maybe not fully but we are on the right track of recovering fully. |

I'm sure you're aware, but try not to keep all your bitcoin savings in coinbase. Move them somewhere safer like a cold wallet. |
