I thought that once TF was implemented the debilitating block times would go away. I guess I misunderstood, in which case the block times are an issue.

It doesn't have any natural advantage in day to day use and its certainly easier to use card or cash in those situations. Where Bitcoin shines is the ability to transfer across borders almost instantly, and able to store it securely. No other option will have you store your own money, you will be relying on 3rd party unless you stuff gold bars in your mattress.

Right now there is no need for the general population to use Bitcoin, especially as it's not easier and in some cases costlier to use. I can't even recommend others to save it as investment as the value may change quickly in the wrong direction.

Bitcoin came about as a result of the banking crisis. When the next one comes we will see true adoption.

I understand that is a rare occurrence, or has it been happening more regularly lately?
What happened to TF, any ETA on its implementation? Its surprising that after all this time there is still no TF when it was one of the features promised on launch.

Have a few coins there which I even forgot I had. Time to dump them and withdraw whatever I can.
Sad that the site ended this way. Could have truly become a leader. No idea where and how it screwed up.

Applying for both the signature and avatar options. I will change my signature and avatar as soon as I get a positive reply from the manager.

Thanks!

I would like to join.

Thanks Stunna and PD

It will keep shuttling in a small range for now. I dont see any evidence of a big breakout on either side.

Maybe 2016 will be the year for the big rise, but I dont expect it to happen anytime soon.

I enjoyed the old PD, and would like to roll the dice again.
Thanks Stunna for the giveaway

It's a nice dream, but since it's only being considered as an option - i wouldn't celebrate just yet. Other than that, it's one of those things that gives bitcoin slow
but increasing support, and rises the price over the time, since pension funds would generally just buy and hodl, leaving less bitcoins on exchanges.
Sure hope it gets rolling in the end, but i'm not sure they would have much users, since many people don't like making risks when it's their pension funds and future in question.

Anything is possible with bitcoin. With the new stress test pissing people off, and proving once again that bitcoin is far from perfect as it is now,
i wouldn't be surprised if we fall under 200 $ real soon but not within a week for sure. But since this thread's prediction is a weekly one, i will say 230$.
Later on it will get pushed a bit more up, and then comes another dump probably.

Interesting idea, and a needed one i believe, because other than here on btctalk, we can't make btc symbol right now.
What was the other case where you successfully proposed the addition of a symbol to Unicode ?


Not sure if you're trolling or serious, but either way we're long way from there. Currently community is even having a hard time keeping the people we already have..

It's not much of a trick op. It's still a game of chance, and loss brings you to have to invest much higher in order to go back to positive zero.
If you are trying to get referrals on the site this way, you should offer something much better to lure people in, because this method you described isn't guaranteed to work.

Gambling is in now way wrong if you are doing it in a way that it doesn't affect you or someone close to you. So keeping the old "don't gamble what you can't afford to loose"
is the best way to stay safe. On the other hand, if you are thinking of dealing with money problems by trying to multiply it by gambling, it's definitely not the way to go.

btw this is way more suited for gambling section imho.

Made me laugh for a second there. There's no better way to loose money than by following expected pumps, there's little profit there.
Even if you do turn out to make some profit by doing so, it wont get you rich, which was the topic of this thread anyways.
You have a much better chance to get rich by hodling something valuable like btc, if you don't mind the wait..

Not if you know what you're doing before running into investment. There are a bunch of options that don't have that much of a risk to experienced ones, but
it's true that risk grows proportionally to gains, so it's best not to be greedy when choosing an investment.
I would always choose investment over pure on holding and stashing, not only does it's likely to make a profit, but it's dynamical and interesting as well.

Many things in digital goods section are not legit per say, like all sorts of accounts and memberships, and some are aquired as freebies and then sold out later on here.

Also, there are some users that have accounts on many other forum sites, who then make sort of arbitrage by buying things there and selling them here, or just making
selling threads here and when contacted they then buy it from alternate forum for a cheaper price.

It is funny to see someone opening an account just to say his mind, but none the less he does reserve the right to an opinion.
Maybe he thinks there's a reason for doing so, because i doubt anyone would do it just out of spite, or to spam, but i may be wrong though.

Sad to see people him being a part of our forum, and a pretty active one..  I would suggest analyzing his known bitcoin addresses and searching for alt account links
that way, but i think he was careful about that, considering he's already involved in some shady activity.
