Shouldn't this be in um...projects and development? Not that I care to the point that I'd report this to get sent there. I'm just really new and don't know the rules very well.

Lol yeah my worst mistake was when I held onto them for much too long. I lost a bundle of money.
And I sold them too early, we never know whats the best time to sell them, who knows if in future BTC goes and touch 3k $ and then we will regret that we sold it at 420$ ( current rate ) Tongue . I guess this type of mistakes will keep on occurring and will be shared here for ever.
To be honest, we should stop trying to sell BTC. We should just start using it as an actual currency.

Re: Finally bitcoin above 400 again

Yeah I am happy to see it above $400 again. Bitcoin is finally moving again because with the price being stable for so long many people got bored and started to leave. So this is a good sign.
Yeah but that's only for a limited time when halving begins.

If bitcoin disappear, maybe can make chaos in the world....
Not exactly. The only time any chaos is to come around was if there was no fiat. Bitcoin needs Fiat, whether people want to believe this or not.
If bitcoin dissapear, many people store they money with BTC currency , and they will feel sad
because lose they money..
Nobody would actually lose their money. It'd be more openly stored with fiat.

I love how people are REALLY trying to figure out when it'll fail. You know what they say:

First they make fun. Then they deny your success. Then, they copy you.

what happens if the next 10 years, bitcoin disappeared and worthless?


If Bitcoin would disappear then nothing would really happen. Bitcoin would be gone and people just have to move on with their lives. of course people would be mad because they have invested money into Bitcoin and did not make it back.  
there must be a factor in why bitcoin could die the user may not be more than 5 million people will leave the bitcoin for no reason?
of course they do not want to lose. so I think only a few people out of bitcoin. with such a bitcoin will be difficult to disappear. there needs to be a compelling reason.

At this moment in time, I don't really think anyone would openly leave Bitcoin at this moment. There's no reason to do so. Bitcoin has actually just become more stable I think. I was wrong to ever think otherwise.

Re: People Are Just Too Stupid to Use Bitcoin Right Now

It's the way OP is saying his opinion that isn't really making it seem valid.
He can kind of express his opinion in any way, shape or form he pleases though, so.
I think you're cutting out the actual point. Literally. You just cut off the rest of my commentary. As long as Bitcoin is working for you in the way that works for you personally, that's all that matters. Not every way of living is right for every single person. You need to understand that. We can't all live the same way, which would explain people performing different jobs. Not everyone can be a doctor, and not everyone can be a construction worker. Not everyone can be a business owner. The point I'm trying to make is that everyone can live a certain way that they seem fit for them and for society as well if they feel fit.

Its just your own opinion, everyone has his own mind to use bitcoin, just like me, now i m using bitcoins and it is profitable for me, i have used bitcoins in different types of online working, i also invest it and i also hold my bitcoins for halving, and i m sure i will be get profit from bitcoins, so how i m stupid.? 
It's the way OP is saying his opinion that isn't really making it seem valid. Everyone interprets things in their own unique way and Bitcoin would actually be no exception.


If the way you're using BTC is working for you, kudos.

I'm sure they have multiple accounts they can use to still give negative ratings or positive ones.
They actually have people on a default trust list where if you give a rating to somebody and you're not even in that list, it will not impact their rating but the information they've left is still available to the public.
It doesn't matter to me. The information left is still around and not exclusive from the public. With that being said, it's still possible to be slandered even by somebody with no default trust badge.

My worst mistake was giving my money to some scheme that I hadn't even heard of.
yeah, its better not to invest anywhere that is offering big returns because the risks of turning it to a scam are really high then and theres no need to take that much risk

i think that my worst mistake was when i decided to send my money to other person as a loan without any of his details, of course he didnt return anything to me, though that was just 13 dollars
I try not to, but a lot of other people go around glorifying these same exact schemes trying to make me think they're promising. Then again, they didn't try. They full blown succeeded.
Don't worry. A lot of these schemes actually don't last very long, and they definitely get reported. Most of the time, it's things like this that keep people away from Bitcoin.
Yeah. Seriously. It's a complete epidemic of issues where you don't know who to trust! No wonder Bitcoin is still a lousy $400 after almost a decade of being available to the public.
Well, we're cracking down on more and more schemes. The trust rating option actually gives people the opportunity to flag somebody you don't trust.
Mhm...about that...


That trust rank system can easily be occupied to ultimately do some abusive and unjustified marks for the simple fact that you dislike someone personally. I may or may not have seen it, but I definitely know what I'm discussing in this specific position here. I can already Invision it as an abuse of power, and everyone giving negative ratings or positive ratings to people inside or out of a clique.
Most of the time, people would get kicked off of that trust loop for abusing it so don't worry too much about that.
I'm sure they have multiple accounts they can use to still give negative ratings or positive ones.

What scheme was it?

honest it was so long ago, instantaneous and just all around irrelevant to me that I don't even remember. I really was close to forgetting about it, but this thread made it just come back to life.

Have you not considered that maybe bitcoin is to complicated for the average person right now ?
It's pretty simplistic to me, and I'm pretty average if I do say so myself.
