Now that we are discussing about anything.

Does anyone have an opinion on having a BTC donation address in your signature?
Have any of you ever gotten anything from having one? A cool story perhaps on how you randomly received a ton of BTC.

Kinda looks like begging in the digital age doesn't it

. (And I'm taking part of it Cheesy

).

When I am helpful, people send me BTC. I practically forget I have an address in my Sig until someone tips me. Check blockchain.info. Bitcointalking has been highly profitable for me.

30 BTC? xD

I have received tips but they have typically been for stuff like ChartBuddy (hint hint Wink

) or an Android app I shared.

this is so 2009/2010 when Bitcoin was worth pennies and was just getting promoted, a friend told me he got 150BTC as a donation for getting started it was worth nothing at the time, nowdays no one will give you 0.001 to promote bitcoin but you could get it for something you did that deserves a thank you, think of it as a tip Wink

I did include one when I first joined this forum because a lot of other people had them, but I soon decided that it looked like begging as well as being pointless so I removed it, but feel free to dump your surplus BTC here if that helps, lol: 122TybYFT4uYgoD8sbBWB5RczL87socK3X

I would kill for 22 BTC...I have 1/100 of that...

The reason why there are so many idiotic postings...
Probably more then 50% here have less then 1 btc and are younger then 18 years old -> can't take anything seriously from such users

Every "normal" guy can afford at least 10-100 btc.

Thats ridiculous. Very few "normal" guys can throw $70,000 USD onto what is still very much an extremely speculative investment. Maybe you're on wallstreet and think $70K is throw away money, but don't be confused. You have to be crazy well off to throw $70,000 into something as far out as bitcoin.

I think 10 BTC is a reasonable amount for 'normal' guys to be able to obtain. I don't think anybody is saying that you should suddenly go out and put a single buy order in on gox for $7000, but I think obtaining 10 BTC over the course of like 6 months is a completely reasonable feat, especially when we aren't in a bubbling phase.

I wish I could spend 1/3 of my yearly income in 6 months on a speculation. But unfortunately, I work a job that doesn't pay me enough to do so. I live, how do you say...paycheck to paycheck?

What does "on Wallstreet" even mean? Wink

I assume it means one works in a building on the street called "Wall Street" in New York City. In other words, someone on Wall St. works for a big bank or invest firm, although I suppose there are some coffee shops on Wall St. too.

That something is most likely they were born in a country where only the wealthy earn that much in a year. Unfortunately, billions of people still fall in that category. Seriously guys, extrapolation from Europe/North America to anyone/everyone is a sure fire way to look like a retard on the internet.

But the low is $7000 and anyone with a job can afford to save $7000 in few years. If not, something is wrong

What if its $70k that I made by trading/holding btc, after withdrawing well over my original investment. Is it still insane to keep it in and let it run? I need to know.

i cant do it

i cant sell me coins! Cheesy

again I've got 22 BTC a few days past a month so far mining as a NOOB....how many of you guys are gonna crack like an egg when/if BTC hits 1000 usd ..... ack....and from what I've seen on here if everyone runs to sell at the same time ..you seem to lock up the works anyway with no one selling....a nice little delusional loop

I've only got 22 coins ..it hits 1000 usd and I actually have the $$$ to plan and implement my foolish mid life crisis correctly (sports cars co-eds and bimbos)..(must resist)

anyway you with over 100 coins (big brass ones) I will watch ponder and learn and www.mtgox.com is at $721 and going up as I type ....all aboard the 'roller coaster" exit stage left

sheez....only been doing this a month and flabbergasted already

Don't think that you are the only one with such a small portfolio! Big profits can still be made with what you have, it's all about timing and it's never too late!

Haha you say that 22BTC is a small portfolio... That's still huge compared to me! 0.11BTC currently! I just need to invest more and will when I get paid again Cheesy

Honestly though, a long term (as long as BTC doesn't get outlawed in future) market cap of $50B-$100B is feasible and that would price each BTC at $2381- $4761. That's not taking out the lost BTC or BTC in storage (not in the exchanges) so with that taken into account I think the price *should* go a lot higher than that long term.

Well obviously now it is. A year or so back, 22 BTC wasn't that much. A lot of us here on the forum go way back and had the opportunity for a lot of cheap coins. (I wasn't one of the lucky guys, I discovered BTC when it was close to 70$). Still, if you believe in BTC; acquiring more at a pace you are comfortable with is the way to go.

Some of the guys here have over 1K coins, that just makes me sick Cheesy

.

I often think about the "What if's" of getting into BTC earlier. I had a dream (or nightmare) last night. I was at a PTA meeting and I overheard other moms talking about Bitcoin so I jumped in and said, "Oh. You have some Bitcoin too?" The moms replied, "Oh yes. We bought them when they were $1." My heart sank and I thought, "Everyone got bitcoin sooner then me!" I woke up realizing that is pretty crazy. No one around me has even heard of Bitcoin still and the ONLY people we know that have any are the ones we have told personally. This might be different in other parts of the world, but not in our circle here near Los Angeles. I console myself that someday It will probably be the other way around. I will be talking about Bitcoin, someone will be bragging they got them for $200 per mBTC and I will just say, "Yes. I got them for $200 each too!" Not mentioning that they were $200 per full BTC. Grin

We will see of course. . .
