if you want invest, then you most ready for taking risk. Because a lot investment site (like HYIP, cloud mining etc) isnt good and scam (except if you join HYIP you can take profit if you LUCK). Gambling is good but its seriously high risk, you can get rich faster and can broke faster too. The way and only is good for investment is do trading, buy altcoin on cheap price, hold and sell it when the price is high.

BTC Doubler is scam, if you find paying doubler site, its because you invest earlier, when another people do deposit then you will get profit. Dont try doubler!

They just replied from Neteller:


It's confusing because it says it has been declined. I'll guess I have to wait 3 whole business days, I'm using Bitcoin to make things faster........................

After spending much time as a guest on this forum learning all I can about Bitcoin, I finally decided to join. Glad to be here and thanks for all the great advice along the way!

Now I have a question I'd like to ask. Is Bitcoin going to get to the point where it is too big to fail? The government bailed out Wall Street to avoid a financial collapse. Can Bitcoin gain the same status as Wall Street? The market cap is steadily increasing making it a big player in the game and I'm looking forward to where it is headed.

Thanks in advance!

It seems that experts say that Bitcoin 'Here to Stay,' But Banks Could Disappear.


"TheStreet: How do you think FinTech will impact the way banks operate?

Frank Schwab: Banks either react on, or they will disappear. Anyway, the consolidation of the banking industry accelerates as the behaviour of people changes. Some banks will benefit from [FinTech], some will be pushed to the back end, and some will disappear."

What's your read on that?

If you only care about BTC, it shouldn't matter. There is supposed to be replay protection for Bitcoin Gold, but even if there isn't, you only risk losing Bitcoin Gold by transacting normally with BTC.

The real risk in these forks (if they have no replay protection) is in trying to send the forked coins. Many users will likely get those transactions "replayed" on the original chain, and if the funds are sent to an address they don't control, they will be lost.

I hope that in the future we have more simplistic coin splitting tools to make it easy for users to dump their altcoins without putting their BTC at risk. At least, I hope to see RBF and nLocktime become more intuitive for users, so they don't have to depend on exchanges/third party services to split coins for them.

Guys,

It is just me or others doesn't have the same anticipation on this fork as compare to Aug. 1?

The forum was full of anticipation on the Bitcoin Cash before, but I don't feel any with the Bitcoin Gold? Previously, I felt that the forum was lively and there's a lot of discussions on Bitcoin Cash before, and almost everyone is updating what's the current situation of the fork and what blocks are we before the fork. But with this Bitcoin Gold, all members just want to get this free coins and dump it hard. And some have even stay late to be part of history.

But why with this fork everyone is not excited?

  Greetings to all good will people!

   Now, when the bunch of deceitful,  greedy,  incompetent,  irresponsible idiots and scoundrels from B2X (sorry for some harshness) are really endangering the Bitcoin,
  
   All of us who are smart enough and responsible should immediately start a Bitcoin core (best of all the latest 0.15.0.1 version) full node client!

   If until now you haven't started your own bitcoin core client - just do it right now!
   Believe me it is so simple!

   Personally I have been running mine for 3 months already.
   For those of you who perchance are afraid of keeping money in a wallet which is constantly connected to the Internet, and even accepting incoming connections (be sure to turn this option on),  I want to say that you do absolutely not need to store any money in your Core full node client!

   You may just keep somewhere offline just a key phrase for recovering your bitcoin private keys and addresses (your real wallet). Or you may run somewhere on another computer the electrum wallet,  or any other wallet that allows you, and no one else, have full control over your wallet's private keys.

  In my own full node bitcoin core 0.15.0.1 client,  for example, I keep absolutely no bitcoins at all.
  I run it solely for supporting the true bitcoin network!
  The most important thing is that your Bitcoin Core full node should be ONLINE as much as possible!

  (After you setup your Core full node do obligatorily check that you really have the 8333 port open and accessible from outside. You may check if your node is seen from outside here for example : https://bitnodes.21.co  

I've never heard of this guy either. So he's some kind of Bitcoin guru? Does he have a lot of followers? Nice to know that he's so popular that people on the biggest Bitcoin forum aren't even talking about him. Or at least weren't until you came with this thread
1 million is too much but people like him think that if it could grow by 600% in a year then it could as well grow by another 600% and another. It's an analogy that can be compared to thinking that if you managed to steal something and get away with it you can keep stealing and nobody will ever catch you.

It's good way to promote bitcoin but just make sure that most student already understand the risk and the usage of bitcoin.
In some country forbid bitcoin because it can be use for criminal activity !

Yes, it probably is used also for such purposes. But i would say in much smaller extent than USD. Yes i don't see anyone saying - dollar is a criminal money, it should be banned...
