I think about this sometimes. Here is the thing. I had an opportunity to buy 5.000 bitcoins  for 0.01 USD each, so that would cost me only 50 USD back then. Me and my friend discussed about bitcoins then and we were "too smart" and realized all the potential problems and stuff bitcoin will have to deal with like scalability issues and few others. So we were so smart and decided it won't work and I simply decided not to spend my money on it. From that point further I completely stopped reading forums and articles about bitcoin, simply forgot it. Until few years later I spotted news on the radio that bitcoin reached 1000 USD...

So yeah I still joke about this how I missed great opportunity to be a millionaire today. So my advice to past me would be of course buy those bitcoins at that moment. But the second advice would be more important. Dont stop reading forum posts, dont stop watching how project evolves and put more energy and effort in understanding the tech behind it, dont judge too fast...

First advice would make me buy bitcoins at almost best price possible. The second one would probably help me not to sell them when they reached 1 USD LOL ... Bcause that was my initial plan before i changed my mind alltogether... To sell them at 1 USD if somehow they ever reach that point (my words exactly, from past)

Just my 2 cents

Maybe not in the "distant" future. I think some alt coin with very good product that reaches mainstream public can catch up on bitcoin. We are still in early phase of cryptoworld. This stuff is going to dominate many aspects of our lives wooo   

Of course statements like that from people like that help a lot for bitcoin to grow even more.

When I become rich and powerful like Billy I'm gonna do the same!

Great news, ty

Also, the technology behind bitcoin is so amazing. Services and news around bitcoin spread like crazy. I think that we just began gaining momentum with crypto currencies so yeah I think it's very possible.

That sounds great, but how do you know that? I certainly hope you are right

I agree with him. If you can make content for Youtube you are a winner! Videos are really great. For example you can make an educational video or discuss something related to bitcoin and then link back to your website in description. That is good for your SEO and also will drive traffic to your site. It's also free, it only requires imagination and your time.

Exactly! Bitcoin is like a father digital coin and most of trades are happening alt vs BTC and as long as it stays the biggest coin I am very happy. Nobody knows what exactly would happen if another alt coin surpasses bitcoin and how that would affect mentality around crypto currencies and exchanges and everything.

Of course there will always be many different crypto currencies on the market. Just as different countries with different political / economical interests have their own fiat currency, the same way there are different alt coins with different agendas and technologies behind them. Which makes place for a diversity and uniqueness of every currency and project behind them!

It's really fun and I don't really want one coin to cover everything. Competition is good and it is not all just about bitcoin. So crypto currencies are the new era of currency, yes! And I want to see bitcoin stay no.1 crypto for many years to come 

So how far do you guys think we are from actual ICOs start happening on NEO network? What is their current state of development? I read the paper and went through their website but I think I missed some info on what are they doing with NEO at this very moment?

Also what do you think is the main reason for the price surge in last 2 days? I woke up yesterday and price almost doubled over night lol 

The electronic platform is the one I would use!  I really hold my hopes for blockchain tech to fully develop into music niche, and streaming in general, that would be totally awesome.

Also I am very eager to see what will happen after UBI!

Yes Bitcoin has all the potential to be a new era of currency. I believe some other altcoins also have this potential. More importantly, bitcoin brought a huge shift of how we think about money. More and more people realize the usefulness of crypto money. The total usage and market cap is very small compared to classic currencies but this is changing day after day.

Today we are already at 130bn+ USD total marketcap

And this is how it looked around the date this post was made last year... Compare the two and think a little how much money poured into the crypto world in 11 months.

Yes, you are right. Majority of traders are short term oriented. Whole crypto-world is very volatile and some people did earn a LOT of money in short time. Xaurum is very long-term project so everyone buying it should keep this in mind. No fast profits here, but rather steady growth. But this can change in the future. At one point it may gain a lot of traction and "explode" just as many other coins do.

To be honest Xaurum's price isn't doing well right now. I've been watching it since June and Xaurum really needs regular mints and gradual business growth. I blame it all on the summer time since this project is heavily related to offline marketing and team effort. If not sooner, I expect steady growth when summer ends.

I would buy while it's still low, it is highly unlikely the price will drop more than 0.18$ per Xaur   

I think that now as NEO entered the top 10. coins based on market cap it won't go back down. Also the volume of trades is insane. Yesterday I closely watched what was going on on Bittrex and seeing all those trades in live I also agree with everyone that said this is not whales pumping and dumping. I see it really gained the recognition I hoped for when it was Antshares. I also made a huge mistake selling when Ants dropped bellow 300k satoshi. I bought Neo again yesterday even though I made a "loss" with ants I'm a believer in this project

Go Neo take the red pill and jump over IOTA and Litecoin! You can do it, it's just two coins 

Dude, that was exactly the same thing I was thinking! Gogo NEO, just jump over Litecoin, we know you can do it! 

If I understand correctly, after the UBI users will be able to listen to music for free, but will artist still be paid as before? If artists are paid fairly it will motivate them to create even more great music

edit: I just realized that, yes, artists still get paid. So my alternate question is, will the amount they get paid suffer after UBI? Any ideas anyone?

So which wallet is best to use for windows 7?  I see they offer 3 different wallets on their website... 

LoL Neo hit 0.01 while I was driving home from work. I think Neo ate the red pill today ;-)

Yeah it goes up very well but aren't you afraid of big dumps coming up very soon? I have this weird gut feeling a huge dump will happen tonight. Oh I'm buying anyway I guess lol

That would be totally awesome :-)
