I enjoy it as a crypto-asset (I like that name) much more so than a currency, and I've said that many times.  I hold it like I'd hold gold or silver.  I have yet to actually use it to buy something, and I have no desire to do so.

Aside from that, I'm glad other people are smarter than me and can make arguments like OP, of which I didn't understand a word. 

Um.  For $20, you are going to get a grand total of zero orders, especially with what little sales pitch you've provided here.  Reading what you wrote does not inspire me to want to try your product.  Why spend $20 on something I could get, or get close enough to, for much much cheaper?

I could never figure this one out myself.  Tried to convince my mother and argument failed spectacularly.  There's really no advantage to spending bitcoin versus traditional fiat.  To me, anyway.  The value is in holding it, much like precious metals.  People will use it for dark markets and gambling, so that creates demand and a chance for price increases.  Hell, look at the price now compared to bitcoin's inception.  It's definitely taken off.

Can't believe all the garbage coins that are being hyped up in this thread.  I've said it before, the only coins really worth owning are bitcoin, ltc, doge, and dash.  The other ones are getting close to their expiration date.  The clock's ticking.

A lot of people are young on this forum and have not seen all of this crap before.  Gimmicky things don't retain their value.  Anyone remember the comic book market around 1993 or so?  Foil embossed, die cut covers, limited editions, etc.  It was all crap and you find that stuff in the dollar bins at shops.  So these gimmick coins are just destined to be worthless.

That's interesting that comic books made the list.  I'm not sure if I should be surprised by that or not, because I used to frequent a comic book chat board and never once saw bitcoin mentioned.  And on the other hand, comic book nerds would seem to be the most likely ones to use bitcoin.

For better or worse, I always associate bitcoin with Silk Road.  That association is never going away.

I think online petitions are useless in general, and though a large corporation might acknowledge such a thing, it won't sway anyone.  But who knows, it could work and if you're set on having bitcoin accepted it's worth a shot.  Then again I'm not sure what the big deal with that is.  Cash money is still the best payment method, and bitcoin has too many problems in my mind.  Better to just keep it and speculate with it. 

Yes, it's strange to me that the halving had so little effect on the price, but whatever.  People are always speculating on bitcoin, and I think we're in for a moon shot pretty soon.  That is just my gut feeling, and we could certainly crash too. 

I think I bought some above $700 and lost money.  Eh.  Goes with being a speculator.

Lionidas, I do hope you get your money back.  You know to be more careful in the future, so I won't tell you that...but Khym you probably could have seen coming a mile away.  Scammers are everywhere on this forum.  I suspect he's run away, because that account of his isn't worth what you gave him.

What don't you get about the collateral thing?  You have no reputation here and you're a newbie.  People scam for pennies on this forum, so no one in their right mind is going to give you cash or bitcoin without you putting up something worth 120% of what you're asking.  It just isn't going to happen.  You can't even put in the effort to string sentences properly, so what does that tell you?

Ditto.

OP I know you're not trying to hear that cloud mining is a scam and such, but just be careful because so many people have gotten burned trying to do what you're doing.  Try the one suggested above, but I wouldn't risk much. *psst...they're scams*

Yeah, but the signature campaign route isn't exactly *fast*.  The Yobit campaign is relatively fast, but they are not open to newcomers anymore.  As stated above, scamming is the quickest route.  That's the answer to your question, but don't do it.  Be honest lest Karma bite you in the ass.

Poloniex all the way, and then probably Yobit.  It seems like there are more gamblers on Yobit and they might be a good place for an altcoin pump but who really knows.  Have not touched the other exchanges (yet).

Is something primed to explode??

I would bet my last dollar that YPII is an alt of someone else with a lending service, perhaps Quickseller.  Does anyone else feel the same way.

YPII, I apologize for invading your thread but I had to say the above.

Well that's what happens when you let the whole effing world in on the secret...what did you expect, comrade?

But seriously, does it really matter all that much who uses bitcoin?  It's kinda like being concerned that terrorists are buying stocks in the bull market.  Who gives a crap?  Everyone is welcome to do as they please!

Nah, not too bad at all.  Of course I've had a job for the past few years so I don't know if the labor market is tight.  But it definitely isn't as bad as it was, say, in 2010.  Unemployment was ridiculous.   And right now inflation in the US isn't that high.

OK, this has got to be one of, if not THE, worst sales pitches I've read in quite a while.  Don't people here want to be taken seriously when they're trying to get your money?  I think perhaps the OP here is in the wrong language forum.

I have to say, I don't find it surprising that OP hasn't found much interest, but that has little to do with him being from Africa (it'd be nice to know what country, BTW).  I'm in the US and I've tried to get other people interested to no effect.  You either like bitcoin or you don't, and the community at large is pretty damn small.  But props to OP for trying to spread the word. 

OP, that's interesting.  I've heard about steemit on this forum but don't really know much about it.  Earning anything from writing is very cool.  I guess you could say signature campaigns are a way to do that, but it's not quite the same thing.

I *generate* bitcoin by the above and buy it with earnings I get from my job.  I don't know much about mining, so I leave that to the whales to do.  Definitely nothing passive, though I get the appeal of that.

I'm not sure how *good* anyone is at games with fixed odds.  You either get lucky or you don't.  I'm decent at sports betting, but nowhere near good enough to make a living on.  I find it to be very risky, and it just isn't worth it to me.  But I love basketball, so that's the one I'm best at.

Altcoin trading I'm not too shabby at.  I do consider that to be gambling.

OP, you have to understand that *trust me* schemes do not go over well on this forum, because we've seen 'em all here.  If you don't reveal the method and just ask for bitcoin, that's a scam until proven otherwise.  And that's how it has to be, because you are not the first one to offer such an "investment". 

In addition, your presentation is amateurish at best, and you come off like a 3rd world scammer.  So there's no one here who'll likely send you anything.  I certainly wouldn't.
