I would save 15 of them, for some years.
Would use another 5 to give my parents a skiing holiday.
The last 5 i would use for day trading.

That's cool. Your parents looked out for you for years, it's nice to see them have it returned! I bet they would appreciate it.

You can, but it doesn't do so well...I think I received .00009 or so.
I'm going to start hitting up the faucets again...just like water, a little trickle helps Smiley I had stopped using faucets because I felt it was for the guys just getting started with bitcoin, and I didn't want to be a cause of depletion for them.
I also started requesting altcoins in the giveaway threads, but after more reflection on that today, I don't think I will continue that, because if I don't really support the coin fully, I'd feel like a "cheat", know what I mean? I don't think it's fair to the givers, or to other receivers. Thanks

I'd have a new well drilled. I'm so tired of hauling water, but it looks like there is no end in sight to it.

Seems interesting, Bitcoiner hauling water because his well is broken ? Seems we are mainstream already  Tongue

Yeah, I'm small time, wish I had money to invest. Unfortunately everything goes to getting more self sufficient, or repairing broken things. Just had to replace a heater core and radiator, took the last of my meager BTC...then the well went dry, seems the original owners skimped and didn't locate the well in the best spot. Now I haul water about 1/4 mile and fill a tank because the oney just isn't there to drill a new 700 ft well Sad but the dream of someday having water close keeps me going Smiley because at almost 50 yrs old, it will get harder each day.

I'm glad to see BTC becoming more mainstream, but some are so hard to convince


Mind if I put your well fund in my signature?

I'd divide them into 6 equal parts and add them to the 6 paper wallets with my other hoarded coins, one wallet for each of my nieces and nephews in case I drop dead before I need to sell any satoshis in my old age.

But it depends you could also loss 25 of yours... its gambling .. but yes if you could do that, then you'll be gambling KING Cheesy

I got up to 65 BTC from 0.1 BTC before, when the total value was something like £9,500. Withdrew £300 to my bank, spend £500 on random Bitcoin services, and spent £200 giving away Steam games. Then I gambled the rest and lost it, it's not a good feeling... But life goes on.

To be honest, I would pay off my student loans or give my parents the gift of a new house in a safe community.

is $20k USD enough to buy your parents a new house where you live?

It depends. Where I live (the middle of nowhere), housing can be really cheap, especially if you know where to look. Also, given that my mother is gradually losing her sight, a one-storey home would probably be best. Most of those tend to be small modular homes or mobile homes but some of them are very pretty and seem to suit a retired couple perfectly. I know.. it doesn't seem much but I just want my parents to be happy Smiley

I'm surprised so few want to invest in the future of BTC.

Do you mean donating to Bitcoin Foundation ?

Not specifically. I'm saying if you get that much free coin you should give back SOMEHOW. Ensuring the growth of bitcoin is an investment just like any other.
And that's why I'd buy my boat with them! Smiley

i'd buy a ton of fibre optic cable and run it all through my small town. then i would petition city councel to buy a 10 gbps uplink, and subsidize internet: everyone who wanted internet would pay $5/mo + hookup fee(for routers etc.)

people in my town would have more money to spend on other things instead of ridiculous mobile data fee's and phone/cable company shitty 120 dollar a month internet, and more people would have access to the internet, and maybe use it to better themselves / get out of this shithole town.
