I didn't expect cryptocurrency to be this popular at this point and I'm trying to wrap my head around if it was even ready yet. Things have to get fixed asap. This blocksize debate is ruining the whole ecosystem.

You just need to Google things, go to YouTube, stay away from Web wallets (their security is crap) don't invest in ponzis like cloud mining and never share your private keys. Also hardware wallets are good but you can also use paper wallets, which of course are basically free and have great security if you make them on an air - gapped system.

What's up with Mycelium? I feel like there hasn't been an update in quite a while.

1) HD wallets create a new address and send the change to that address

2) They have a website? Why would you need to use that? My app has been working for years with zero problems.

3) Create cold storage and add the public key as a watch only address

4) Sending money from any bitcoin address to another will be like any other transaction.

I'd say anyone that is mediating the bridge between cryptocurrency and fiat is the person who is helping the most with mass adoption. Exchanges, crypto debit cards or anything like that. If it's easy to buy and use them it's easier for people to wrap their head around it. I'm assuming when bitcoins do become mainstream they'll be very very easy to use by then and will be a little more similar to our traditional fiat spending is. Debit cards, possibly credit cards and smart people can hold their own bitcoins but people who don't understand them will be able to store them somewhere and pay a fee to store them there or of course that institution could lend them out and we'll all get screwed over when that ponzi fails. History usually gets repeated. It's unfortunate but true.

So basically you've ignored every single thread, website and person you've talked to and made this thread about leaving bitcoins on multiple exchanges.

Why not just, you know, own your own bitcoins and make your own decisions?! If you don't have your private keys (or you aren't the only person with them) you don't own any bitcoins.

But what should you do if you only periodically show up to see how your cold storage coins are doing? Tuck you head between your legs and kiss your behind goodbye?

Who cares if bitcoin is declared legal or not in your country? I'm not using bitcoins because my government said it's OK I'm using it because I can make my own decisions with my own money.

That in theory should solve everything but even so, blockchain analysis will always be around. Maybe when coinjoin comes out it'll be a big business trying to figure out who's sending what where (and when).

I would like to find a full time job that pays bitcoins. It would have to be something online though, and most online jobs are notorious for being scams.

Who is Bobby Lee and why would I care what his random guess would be? This makes no difference to anyone.

Uh oh! Hotdog!

Monero, ETH, DASH, Feathercoin (in case it gets pumped) vertcoin, bytecoin and litecoin. If I see anything else that looks new or different I would also invest a small portion there.

April Fools! I hope you all get 1DicKFCUKrfDShPPqEsddLJ4GTmnXUQ3ov today!!!

Are there any wool hats or any with big a big HODL right in the middle of the forehead? That's what I'd be after.

It looks like the OP wasn't serious anyway. He was just here at bitcointalk to scam.

How are these people supposed to create a legitimate running hard fork!? If we fork I'm selling all of my BTU for BTC.

It looks to me like there were only some people speculating on the price of bitcoins based on the ETF passing. Bitcoins are still holding steady and we're still going to see huge rises in the future, ETF or not.

In my experience, no. There is no way to assess the risk properly with a bot apparently because I got screwed. I wouldn't suggest lending sites at all, and especially not with a bot.

OP is basically just asking how to buy bitcoins. He's not looking for shady crap like illegal gambling bankrolls or ponzis. Just buy bitcoins and hodl forever. Also, show the $2mil. I don't believe you.

1. Hard to start, lot of legal issues
2. Yep we need tgat
3. Uhhhh, sure. So LN?
4. That's... That's what bitcoins are. Did you not get the memo?
