If you have to keep your money in a currency that is specifically created to lose value as a feature, you're doing it wrong. Hopping back and forth between currencies is the source of most problems when it comes to crypto.

If you hope to get rich while sitting on your wealth while doing nothing, then you're doing it wrong Wink

If you think of a cryptocurrency like a fad and it's long term success or failure based purely on which direction its price is moving in the short term, then you're doing it wrong. Wink

weird. i just paid to rent a holiday house in america with bitcoin.

these assholes didn't take cards. i would've had to create a dollar check and post it to america. including post, check creation and cashing it, it would've taken several weeks.

instead i told them to go to bitpay and sign up. one hour later it was fully paid for.

Is this story from the book "Things that never happened" or is it a totally different story? I've also read the story about a merchant, who didn't accept CCs, but instead went right to bitpay to accept BTC instead Tongue

I have been away for too long, now even being employed is seen as a bad thing here.. :/ I held the ETH bags since 1.4$, selling and buying again from time to time, making about 25x+ gain from it so far. I even made about 6x with BTC in 2013. So, I'm not exactly the worst gambler and currently DASH has gotten my full attention Tongue

There we have it; altcoin bagholder. I am good with identifying the cause of people talking negatively about honey badger in a subtle way.

Not sure if sarcastic or autistic.. Tongue

It is missing a few key points (e.g. Amazon & Ebay),

Amazon is one of the best use cases of Bitcoin.

Why would you want Amazon to accept bitcoins when you can buy anything on Amazon at a discount using bitcoins?

You can also buy anything on eBay at 3% off via Gyft, egifter, etc.

It is not about the discount, and I'm well aware of the options. However, I'd like to have the option to directly pay with Bitcoin on those two websites; that's why I mentioned them. Going through that method requires an additional step that some people may not be willing to take.

Plenty of beartards panicking right now. Looks like a lot of people sold at the bottom after the ETF denial. Cheesy

Maybe in the future, we will have a crypto, that is convenient enough to actually be used a practical form of payment!

I have hoped for many years already.

You sound like one of the followings: 1) Employed by someone; 2) Altcoin bagholder; 3) Someone who is butthurt from missing out on Bitcoin. You have zero argument to refute that Elwar presented to you, as is, the other currencies have near-zero useful usage. Bitcoin's infrastructure is actually much wider than people think. It is missing a few key points (e.g. Amazon & Ebay), but the current TPS wouldn't be able to handle them anyway. The demand is much higher than the block supply already.

That put aside, Bitcoin is about to test >1250$ again on Bitstamp (currently $1244).

No, because no one in their right mind uses crypto for it's utility other then gambling by trading Cheesy

Only the religious people, or poor people, whose only wealth is in crypto are actually paying for things in BTC. One of the important rules with crypto is that never believe your own bullshit sales pitches Tongue

All the cryptos are currently pretty useless outside of speculative play.

I agree. Bitcoin is the only remotely useful crypto. All the other ones are just speculation.

If it dies in a ditch by the road and you're lucky it might bloom into a beautifull bitcoin tree from the seeds in it.

I will plant this money tree and become rich.

With the hardware wallets like Trezor, I would just ask. What happens when my Trezor dies down the road and the company that creates them no longer exists? Is there a way to recover my bitcoins from the seed in such a case?

You guys are still excited about a crypto, that has risen less then 10% in the past 3 years.. extremely interesting things going on with ETH and DASH, and the same faces are still here, still hoping for a miracle... religious people are weird...

As soon as pumps on those altcoins finish dump will start and bitcoin will shoot up!

One can hope.. but even if it happens, then people will still probably make less in a year with BTC then people with ETH and DASH made in a week.. but.. at least everyone are happy and excited..? :/

Eth fork is a scam pumped up by banks. Better invest in eth classic if want to have eth exposure as investor.
