Topic: I'm proud of Bitcoin :). (Read 3411 times)

Huh? There are so many things wrong/off with your comment that I'll assume you intended it as a clever joke 
In the unlikely event that you are serious, I'll suggest that you read my comment carefully then read yours and repeat this as many times as needed until the 'things' I'm referring to in the first line become clear. Just sayin 

Beside all of that many in the corner of the world can now buy/sell with Bitcoin which overtake complex finical regulations.

Google is your friend (sometimes).


That plus digital goods which you somehow forgot. Games, game accounts, game currencies, etc. Go wild.

I am proud to be a Bitcoiner too.

We got an awesome community. (I think I am exaggerating?)
An innovative technology.
Thousands of companies worldwide that accepts Bitcoin or relies entirely on Bitcoin.

Whatever anyone says, I don't mind. I believe what I believe and I will support it.

>Faucets
I didn't even know those still existed--thought it was just mentally challenged scammers still trying to run burnt-down cons.  How much time does a 9-yr-old have to spend clicking on questionable ads and vids before she earns $10, the smallest increment which could be added to her MS account?  Be specific, links.

>Games
What, where?  Links?

>buying and selling stuff on the net, including digital goods
You mean go to the trading section of this forum, where alleged adults get taken more often than not?
How well do you suppose she'll fare there?
What will she sell?  Her school books?  Crayons?  The iPad that mom got her for Christmas?  The family silver?
Be specific.
ty.

^ there are other ways to obtain bitcoins. Faucets, games, buying and selling stuff on the net, including digital goods, etc. For a 9 year old, that seems a good starting point, even if it won't be a lot of coins that they'll get.

What are you suggesting?  That 9-year-olds go on the internet, hook up with a stranger, and go off somewhere to meet him ... "to buy Bitcoin"?
Would you let YOUR 9-year-old do that?
What kind of a sick monster are you?!

You Bitcoiners don't care who you hurt

You talk as if you have some factual data that support your theory.

Yes but Microsoft is a different ball game altogether, we're talking about the upcoming generation here, kids and teenagers, people who don't necessarily have bank accounts/debit cards/CC, people who are likely to absorb change/new tech a lot faster. It's much easier for a 9 year old to marvel at Bitcoin than say a 50-60 year old. Most adults of this generation couldn't care less about Bitcoin, if you want an idea to take root, you gotta go to the source. I think being able to fund an Xbox account with Bitcoin is the biggest thing to happen to Bitcoin yet. Can't wait for Playstation to get on board as well, tweeted them as soon as I found out about this 

...Right... Cause that will happen bro 
Im guessing your smile is beyond upside down huh?? Don't be so salty you keep losing money, Im sure you can lose another 70% in no time no worries, enjoy

I just wish bitcoin would shoot up again, so I can prove people wrong. Wipe their stupid brainwashed smirks off their face.

^ Don't worry you will have zero risk when all your coins are worthless!!!

Most people that get into Bitcoin get it to make a profit but those who stay, stay for something else like the ability not to have a third party risk while holding your coins.

Maybe when the reward reach 12.5, in this point the industry, (i speculate they hold many coins...), maybe pushes the prices a bit, but can be enough to reach again a stable price? or only another bubble? In this post i read a "BIG true", only speculators in exchanges driving the Btc prices, and when 21M of Bitcoin are reached, can be enough people disposed to buy coins at high prices? Enough coins to sustain the system?
For me, 99% of people is here to "WIN" money, as others said before, "Instaticket" to 1+ 6 Zero... Maybe enough dreamers to sustain early adopters... I think the answer is no. So wen miners discourage BTC for "nonprofit" situation, what will happen?

But all is "hyipotetical".


you honored your username.

You're officially an idiot... Even if you're referring to when gum costs $999,999,999,999.99 USD you can bet your bottom dollar BTCitcoin will STILL not be a "few thousand"

Do some research, crunch some numbers, pray to the digital coin god then get back to me

Bitcoin is still in early stage believe or not, if the the small portion of masses accept bitcoin as "money" then $350 is nothing. I think few thousand is going to be stable average in near future

+1 about the miners like me who had to move eqpmnt to a apmnt that doesn't pay electricity. Otherwise mining would have not been profitable a long time ago!!
Actually over 60% of coins have been mined... This 350 we are at now could actually very well be the peak of December. Only next month can tell if 350 is a bottom or a high price.

The fact's are we can never hit $1,000+ because nobody in their right mind would pay that much... People paying $450+ on that last rally really need to get their heads checked. If you paid anything close to $400 you have way too much confidence in this & should probably step back for a bit. 

why no one takes care about miners??
If the price goes under 200$ more or less 65% of the Asics dont be able to generate profit in anyway, new 16nm chips only can "made" around 10/20% in profit for a year in this price.

Only around 50% of the coins are mined, so for the mining industry, wich is the big gold egg "in Buying/selling stuff" terms is not good this line of prices.

IMO its true, prices are regulating by their self, i think the point of equilibrium is just in this peak 350-400.

In other hand one eye in the new GawPonzicoin, because gaw have a big mass of customers adopting ponzicoin and a lot of merchants involved by their marketing campaigns, the ponzi coin is pointed not to swap with BTC but for enforce the BTC ecosystem, so we can expect a little growth in the BTC market; since new "non-crypto" customers are "blessed" by the news and expectations about paycoin in the media scene. This kind of customers maybe starting with paycoin but i think that in short time them can turn in to BTC, the more customers giving confidence in crypto the more valuable BTC can be.

IMHO this is a fact.

Nobody knows if we can live another bubble for 1000+ USD, the important thing is stability, and i think the fork between 350-400 is comfortable to sustain speculators with 10/15% of margin, miners, manufacturesrs and merchants.

cheers.

Well as long as I don't end up with another design change like Windows 8
Seriously whose idea was it to kill the startbar

That said I am proud of Bitcoin and do look forward to what 2015 will bring in terms of bitcoin adoption growth usage and of course price for us speculators 

We are a part of this new *monetary* revolution , it is only a question of time ... and we will be victorious.

   Is this supposed to be some sort of cultist echo chamber, where only bulltards are allowed? Do you want this to be a copy of /r/bitcoin, where critical posters are banned?

I'm here because I'm a student of religion, and I find the Bitcoin Cult fascinating. I'm also here to warn newbies against this imploding pyramid scheme.

I bought in at $740 in mid November 2013, and sold at $1100 a couple of weeks later.

The price is lower than what it used to be but Bitcoin is strong and will rise in price in a world where big fiat currencies will lose their value. 3600 new coins are created everyday and some of them end up on the market for the miners to pay for their maintenance costs but higher prices mean they need to sell less coins.

Oh yea??? Who will be happy to pay you $1,200 per coin??? The poor & oppressed "middle class" that has been pushed to expand the lower class?

Face fact's bro this scheme is in its final stages... More people cashing out everyday & no new money coming in... wake up for your dream world fantasy!

well there is hope for bitcoin it will change the life

When the bear market is over, the price will pop up to a new ATH and crazy prices fueled by inflation and dreams that will actually have a chance of becoming true.

The news of Microsoft hasn't been the biggest one yet. I was expecting more from Paypal to start and integrate bitcoins in their system.
Currently, I see no services offered by them for it.

Bit coin will rise in 2015.....watch this space....

Bitcoin is finding its real price , after that it will boom again like the 3 other times before.
If you don't have trust in bitcoin why are you even here ?
Maybe you bought in at 900 dollars ?

its time for waiting bitcoin to da moon, news microsoft accept bitcoin and now waiting for google accept bitcoin too.
i'm so proud of bitcoin 

We all do !

yes it is specially for a 3rd world country in Africa Asia ..

According to the interview with the Microsoft CEO, it looks like they will start accepting BTC for everything they offer in every country within a year or two max! That's a HUGE thing!

I was quite surprised to hear Microsoft got involved in bitcoin. But then again, i have heard a lot of surprising news from them lately (open source, cross platform .NET framework?!)
Then again, it's a smart move, ofcourse, since it's yet another way to let people pay. The more the better, and they don't have to make their hands dirty, so to speak, since the payment is done via BitPay.
I hope many more large companies like this will join in the near future. Look at Dell!

The media seems awfully silent about these things though, even though it's pretty big news. There was a "hype" for bitcoin in my country half a year ago, but it seems the media has absolutely no interest in it anymore.

Since the transaction is done through BitPay and subject to their fee, whatever financial gain (savings) they may see on a per transaction basis is likely not massive at all.

Microsoft did it primarily for two reasons...
1) Positive PR - gives the public the impression MS is forward thinking in 'keeping up' with innovation
2) Never be negligent in opening a potential avenue for revenue when the cost to implement a new payment option is practically nothing

Yeah, the Microsoft thing was really great news for Bitcoin! Just look at how the price went to the Moon in a ro...

Uh, right, guys ...? The price went to the Moon, right? Just as it did with the Expedia-, Dell-, Overstock-, PayPal- and other "good" news of large merchants "accepting" Bitcoin ...?


  

I'd be very surprised if we're not sub 300 on January 1st 2015.

The Microsoft news has let me feel proud of bitcoin for the first time in a long time. 
All these major companies have ceo's that talk, team's of analysts, etc.  Whatever the reason is I am sure Microsoft would only adopt something due to the massive savings it offers them in transaction fees, convenience, accessibility, or whatever the case is.  I am pretty sure the people who make these decisions are a lot smarter than all these dumb trolls on here claiming bitcoin is finished. 

My fortune cookie I got at lunch says , "Be calm, like a giant tree in a storm."  So trust in food lol.

maybe Microsoft soon offers dope, who knows?

Many are proud to use BTC as a primary sources of payment i think in the end of 2100 no other payment system will hold against BTC.

I still remember 1 year ago when I used Bitcoin to buy some weed on silk road.
Now becoming main stream due Microsoft.
This is just the beginning folks. Blockhalving soonish. Great time to come.
I wonder when this bear market will be over.
