do you believe btc is reaching 10,000 in 2014?

and 100,000 in next years??

Maybe, but selling it would then become impossible. Why would companies give you 100,000 dollars for bitcoins? Early investors would be rich and exchanges cant afford to buy BTC's from you.

Hey guys another Newb from Oklahoma. I started mining about 3 weeks ago as strictly a hobby. A quick question regarding exceeding internet usage: Have any of you exceeded your internet usage plan from mining bit coins? I just received an email from Cox stating I have exceeded my plan. I not sure what my next steps would be. I am looking at increasing my download but just curious what types of plans other miners are using and if they have had any similar issues? Thanks again.

Is your problem the actual mining or the download of the blockchain in your wallet?

To be honest, I really don't know. I will look into the Wallet. Thank you.

Why use the extremes to draw your predictions, and not the average/median (especially on the market volume, where the beginning of that slope is one large, unique sell-off)

Hello. Pretty new to mining myself and looking to get more into it. I can't seem to get dummy plugs to work with a video card that I'm using at the moment so I thought I would ask on these forums as they seem the most popular... Still a newbie so can only post here, maybe someone here knows the solution to my problem?

I have a Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H motherboard with an Intel i7 3770K processor attached as well as one video card, a Radeon HD 5850. I want to use the onboard graphics of the processor for everything that the computer does except mining. I want mining to be the only thing to use the video card. This is so I can use the video card's full potential for mining and still be able to use the computer without any lag. I went into my BIOS settings and changed it so that it uses the processor's graphics as default but now cgminer and MSI afterburner does not recognize my video card at all. So, this is where I thought people use dummy plugs to trick the computer to recognize the video card while still using the processor for graphics. I hooked my video card up to a monitor which is the same thing a dummy plug simulates but my computer still does not recognize the video card...

Litecoins are also too high in my eyes. Most other coin types are just gambling. There are 1 or 2 exchanges trading them. If one of them removes them their value drops close to nil...

i know, i'm willing to take a bit of a risk though
the ones that are worth only a few cents could make profit if they increase only just a little Smiley

hello, i'm pretty brand new to bitcoins, as i just started investing in it yesterday. my friend showed me it, and i knew about it for awhile but never really thought of it as a way to make money. my current position i am in right now, i can make pretty good money but i needed something to invest it in, so i chose bitcoin and cryptocurrency. im just saying i am brand new to this, kind of don't understand mining and all of that.

I think you have to consider, that we have a bit of a bubble at the moment. Don't know if it's smart to buy a lot of coins for the current price.
i don't mean just bitcoins, i want to put a little bit of money in a few different coins

Hi everyone - I just signed up for the forum!

I've been watching Bitcoin for awhile and learning about it, but only last week did I invest. I bought a little from Coinbase during a dip in price, and am still waiting for that to hit my wallet Roll Eyes

Other than that, I go to a round of faucet sites sometimes and earn a few fractions of a penny! It's chump change, but I don't have much fiat to keep buying btc with, and it's exciting to have something that will (ideally) increase in value.

Nice to meet everyone!

my laptop is to slow to mining, so its buying for me

You might also look into trading to make some profit. But with the current rise of nearly all coin types, just buy and hold might be the best strategy.

Your laptops would MELT from the heat and make nooooooooo money. IF you are seriosu about mining, think about it as something fun and a learning expereince, not a money making thing.

Yeah from all the research I've done, you can't mine bitcoin on your own, as a beginner. You'll need to join a professinal miners group, as an investor and let him manage the huge computer room with all the fans and systems running 24/7.  Although, for a thusand or two, you can start mining with a system on your own, but for LITECOINS not bitcoins. Most say the success rate there is getting smaller as well for the small players like us!!
