I doubt warren buffet will invest in bitcoin.

Many of the business he has bought are pretty traditional and he seems to like old style businesses.

Yes i enjoy tasks such as design and then getting paid in bitcoin.

Things that have been mentioned here such as p2c and faucets are very low earning and takes a long long time to earn a reasonable amount.

Re: How to collect BTC ??

Hi there are many ways of collecting BTC.

You could try joining faucet sites, you could lend coins and earn this way. You could also sell coins fro different payment methods. You could earn in a signature or avatar campaign, There are many ways to earn but all these require time and hard work. For me personally the best way to earn is to provide a service such as design or programming and get paid in bitcoins, this is the best way as you can earn a more regular income.

Re: Did you earn some bitcoin today?

I earned a bit of coins, but not much.

The price of bitcoin and its fluctuations is really eating into peoples profits. People here say the earned coins from faucets and gambling.... this is really small and highly risky for gambling. These dice sites are not really income earning. Hopefully more opportunities will come to earn and invest in the future.

Re: Pakistan sends deported migrants back to Greece

Yes Pakistan is a pretty poor country with quite a lot of instability.

It has a huge population and just does not want to deal with returning and deported migrants. Also Pakistan has been for years taking millions of refugees from neighboring countries especially Afghanistan. So do you really blame them?

The migrant issue needs to be dealt with in Europe as it will not be able to cope. Id we tackle the root cause it will stop future of people.

Re: MSF hospital in Syria hit by 'double-tap' barrel bombing

If ISIS are forcing hospitals to provide services.... what can doctors and staff do?

The Syrian government as well as foreign jets MUST do much much more to avoid civilians. There targeting and killing must be accurate and not kill innocents. ISIS are actually killing more people and innocents than the west. But it is still the Assad government who is killing the most. They are quite reckless and should be told to be more careful by Russia and Iran and its supporters.

Re: U.S. Presses for U.N. Resolution to Fight ISIS’ Financing

The UN is quite incompetent.

It generally does not work. ISIS is being financed by major donors in the middle east. There are so many deceitful people who smile at the west and make statements they they are against ISIS .....BUT ..... the truth is they are themselves financing and helping ISIS in many ways! The US is also playing a game and could do much more to destroy roads, oil wells smugglers to defeat them.

Re: Where can I find this person?

Are you looking for a signalling service? A company that emails you to tell you when to buy?

I am not too sure what you are asking for as you are not very clear? Rather than looking for this type of person or service you should try and increase your knowledge so you know yourself when to buy and sell. This is the best thing to do in my opinion.

I want to start trading in Bitcoin to dollar,

but I looking for someone sends me mesages

every day tells me it's time to buy and it's time to sell.

Where can I find this person?  Smiley

Re: How is escrow safe?

Hi

AVOID PAYPAL AT ALL COSTS. Paypal as well as credit cards are unsafe especially for sellers. These forms of payment are reversible and a chargeback can be made even 6 months in the future. You should really try and find another method to pay as you will then have many users who will trade with you.

Re: Are there any actual uk exchanges like cirlce/coinbase
by

on 06/12/2015, 15:48:01 UTC
Hi there are several.

You can try cryptopay or uphold. If you have a credit card you can even buy daily £40 worth of coins via coinbase uk. But these may need you to verify yourself before using.

Also try the price comparison website below:

Re: Europe in Crisis

Th EU is in big trouble. It would fall to the largest countries to sort this out, especially countries like Germany and France. The EU is quite unstable and it seems they have issue every few years. So just like in life it is the richest people who get to push their weight around and Germany and France have the most to gain. Smaller countries should be helped especially Greece as they simply do not have the resources to police their borders.

Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years?
by
johnsmith1964
on 06/12/2015, 13:55:49 UTC
I would say the more bitcoins you have the more you are cushioned. So say a good retirement will require plenty of money..... say $10 million dollars for a very comfortable lifestyle to pay for everything healthcare travel etc, so 30,000 bitcoins at roughly todays value. This may seem excessive but it is better to have more than less.

Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin?
by
johnsmith1964
on 06/12/2015, 13:52:13 UTC
No i wont quit my day job. I see bitcoin as a good secondary income. There are many opportunities in bitcoin to earn but the price does fluctuate a lot, so even if you stay still and do not invest at all, you could still lose money due to price drops. So i think until it becomes more stable and most importantly widely accepted it will still not be taken seriously by normal people.

Re: Putin orders sanctions against Turkey after downing of jet

johnsmith1964
on 06/12/2015, 12:54:05 UTC
Hmm, ok i agree.

It does look like both sides will lose money. There does seem to be a few energy deals on the table, so yes you are correct that turkey may lose out more than russia. But i still think russia is still much more unstable than russia.

Turkey is actually very lucky to be a member of NATO. It can rely on its allies if it is attacked.

Its allies will stick up for turkey and the EU especially does try to help Turkey a lot. Also in terms of what Russia is going to do it is all just posturing, Russia's economy is is already weakened and these sanctions against Turkey will hardly make a difference.

Yeah, i can´t imagine that loss of dozens of billions of dollars in business will do much harm to Turkey. Also closed export routes will be great for Turkish exporters. Ballooning costs are always good for business. And since Turkey is an exceptionally stable country as it is, those benefits will only make it even more stable.

Re: What's your opinion of gun control?
by
johnsmith1964
on 06/12/2015, 12:47:09 UTC
Criminals are far too clever and still will get hold of guns.

There is still too much profit involved in drugs fro the gangs to give up guns. This gun issue has been going on for a long time and it requires a huge change in americas gun loving culture. On a per capita basis the US still has far too many deaths compared to other developed countries. I dont know how this will be solved because people on both sides are not budging?

I support regulation on firearms but you can't impose gun control on criminals coz they will always find ways to get guns no matter what. Guns should be banned to an extent to civilians but gun bans won't just work to criminals.

The chinese economy is not as open as the developed world. There is really a huge amount of data i believe is manipulated especially in regards to thee environment as well as finances. Corruption and bad pollution will take a long time to fix.
