Bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency, BitGo is a bitcoin wallet provider.

Quote
2. What is the diference of bitgo and bitcoin?

BitGo is just a wallet service where you store your bitcoins.

Quote
3. Can you send money from Bitcoin to Bitgo?

No. You use BitGo to store and send bitcoins.

Quote
4. Can you send money to paypal from Bitgo / Bitcoin?

Yes, you can exchange paypal for Bitcoins. But you may have to pay heavy fees for that.

Quote
5. How can i earn some BTC via making surveys?

Well, you can use faucets to start with Bitcoins. But AFAIK, they aren't survey sites that pay in Bitcoins.

Quote
6. How can i earn some few BTC via shortening a links like in ad.fly, except in CoinURL(scam?). Please suggest more on me.

I don't think you can make any money using any link shortening things. You can just use any skills of your to earn some bitcoins. Or level up here and just join any sign campaign to earn some bucks.

You can mine bitcoins not BitGo.

Hey there, welcome to Bitcointalk, and also Bitcoin (I think). Anyway, I'll help you answer your questions.

1) Bitcoin and BitGo are 2 very different things. Bitcoin is a decentralised cryptocurrency, while BitGo is a wallet for Bitcoin.
2) Read the second sentence of number 1.
3) Bitcoin itself is not a wallet, and BitGo is a Bitcoin wallet, so, uh, that can't really work.
4) It is possible to do so, however, it requires you to do it with someone in the community of Bitcoin as the services do not support it. It is also suggested not to be done as charge backs can occur. (Basically, don't exchange Bitcoins and Paypal)
5) Making or taking? I'm not too sure about making survey, but if you search around you would be able to find a site that pays Bitcoins for surveys.
6) CoinURL is the only site that I am aware of that can do something like that. They are certainly not a scam, as I do use them and they have paid out to me.
7) Don't mine, it's way too late for that. You can try out cloud mining (you buy/rent miners from other people/services), but I don't suggest that either.

If you have more questions, you're free to ask.

EDIT: I thought I was the first to post >_< Anyway, BitGo is a wallet for Bitcoins. Of course you'd be able to send/receive money, it's basically like a real life wallet.

Yes, you can ofcourse send and receive BTC from BitGo. You need not install bitcoin core for that. Both BitGo and bitcoin core are wallets and both do the same thing. The only difference is that Bitcoin Core is a PC wallet and BitGo is a web wallet.

Yes, this is the most important thing. It's too late for mining. And cloud mining, uh, they are just scams. Better safeguard your money. But never except money to grow much unless you earn it.

I am personally using bitcoin core as my primary wallet, but the so called "blockchain" is very large. The blockchain is a puplic record that stores all transaction ever made with bitcoin.
I think for you, a "thin" client would be a better choice, e.g. Electrum. - a "thin" client do not need to download the entire blockchain.

Look here "chose your wallet":
https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

I would strong advice you not to keep you bitcoins on any online webpage - you will lose money.
Also keep in mind that bitcoin gives you freedom to control you own funds "be your own bank", but it also gives you the freedom to fuck up and loose your bitcoin.
Educate your self about how to safely store bitcoins, before holding any large sums.

Cryptography is one of the few things you can truly trust.

How can i loose money in BitGo since its powered by BitCoin, Right? However for me, Its more dangerous on BitCoin core because when your PC got fucked up and reformatted then GOODBYE $$$$. Any suggestion please ?

Your wallet has to download the entire blockchain. It'll take some time.

You can't link your BitGo wallet and your Bitcoin Core wallet. The best you can do is send the Bitcoins to each other.

The best thing to do is simply make backups of your wallet.dat and store it in a separate (SECURE) location. If your computer gives up the ghost, you can still recover your bitcoin from your backups anywhere.

This thread can give you a good background if you ever choose to go with cloudmining.

But I'm afraid it's still not recommended. Just buy bitcoin and hodl.

Well, if something happens to BitGo (shutdown, hacked, etc.(not saying it would)), what would happen to your Bitcoins?

Plenty of users store their Bitcoins offline, and also make plenty of backups of their wallet.

I'd go against storing large amounts of Bitcoins (eg. more than 1) online, unless you're able to secure it enough.

I don't use Bitgo, but from its website description, it looks to be working as a 2-of-3 multisig wallet with you having 2 keys and Bitgo having the remaining key. So, if the site get hacked, the hacker will not be able to spend your bitcoin as he has only 1 key. And if the site gets shut down, you can still use your 2 keys to spend your bitcoin.

It does show how many days you wallet is behing, not circa time till it will be fully synced.

The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes.  This is not paid AD!
