My friend works in Direct Selling. He always complained that he was stuck with his company because they controlled his customer base. I think the premise that Gemstra is built around is awesome. I can totally see this changing the industry by liberating Sellers!

It is very hard to leave once you had made decent profit with this. There is not other opportunity that gives this much returns.

In my opinion, one should have both BTC and alt coins. However, one should be investing more in safer coins like BTC.

Certainly it will double by the end of year but that is still less growth. With alt coins you can make 5-10x in that much time.

It will remain dominant as long as there is no better alternative. Most of the alt coins are trying to copy bitcoins instead of some new innovation.

Online business is a learning experience, and when you are willing to look at what you are doing wrong and change it, you show that you are concerned about the needs and wants of your customers.

It is true that new investors will not make as much profit as the early adopters. But that does not mean it is bubble, it is very much real with real life applications.

Why do you really care about this ? Just use the awesome technology he made for all.

Ask two questions before using the savings :

1) What level of risk are you willing to take?

2) What happens if you need your money back quickly?

You just need traffic to your website. Another thing that is good to do is to do a link exchange with another website which is not in direct competition with your products or services.

This is because the number of transactions has reduced. It will be tested again when the price starts moving up fast and we have a lot of buyers.

The people who have invested in ETH will want it to do better than BTC. This applies to investors of other coins as well but it is not going to happen anytime soon.

Some of the companies do offer credit cards to people with bad credits (or in debt) but is has certain terms and conditions. But use these cards only in emergency.

Those people are simply bitcoins haters and they need different excuses. Most of them are people who could not invest in bitcoins in early stages and are thus jealous of others.

We can always compensate for the loss done to environment by bitcoins. Most of the technological things like AC cause harm but we have to consider the benefits as well.

I will suggest you to make the decision based on your financial situation and how much risk you can take. You friend might not be aware of your spending habits and patience level.

I agree to this, there is lot of scope for price growth with bitcoins. f someone holds just 1 bitcoin for next 10 years, he can be a millionaire.

Bitcoin has just one goal and that it to benefit as much people as possible. People have made their own personal goals (mainly based on returns).

Do not invest more than you can afford. This is very important especially if you do not want to get financially bankrupt.

I think that after his death, you might get to know he was. He might have told some family member to disclose this after he is gone.
