    Here's what the President of Paypal said "I really like Bitcoin. I own bitcoins," Marcus said at the LeWeb conference here.

    Move by China causes Bitcoin to lose 50% of its value in one day.

    Exactly. It's an extremely exciting technology with a ton of potential. Most people are simply looking at one single application of it (currency) and writing it off as a ponzi. This dismisses the network itself, the bitcoin protocol, which is a distributed ledger that the entire world can...

    And we had a 500+% month in November.. It comes with the territory. Sure it sucks but no flaws were found in the protocol and bitcoin continues to gain new users. Rapid uptake of a technology is still taking place.

    Yes..unless it gets cancelled. Staff is getting beefed up so if by chance it did get cancelled I imagine it would be quick to resolve. After your initial purchase and wait you should be able to purchase 10 a day until you hit your 30 day mark..then it's 50. I believe that's still the case

    I'm not, and I am. I took some off the table a few weeks ago and bought the wife a car, and myself a new watch. I don't have any plans to sell anymore, anytime soon. Saying that..I'm bitcoin only. Other cryptos aren't worth the risk imo.

    Testicular fortitude check lol "Bubbles" burst, coins get distributed to more hands, new comers increase their holdings, bitcoin continues to grow. That's the way I see it playing out at least. Who knows..I'm just along for the ride on what I believe to be a world changing technology.

    With coinbase you can sell up to 50btc a day. I'm not very familiar with campbx policies but I know their volume is pretty non-existent. Large amounts can be cashed out on the exchanges bitstamp, mtGox(may have withdrawal issues) but it will make an impact so may be wise to look for big buyers...

    Good on you. You're killing it..literally. I see some risk in bitcoin..and 100x other risks involved with alts. I'm up over 2000% from my first purchase so I don't see the need to take on additional risk

    I wish all Alt-coiners the best of luck but I'd like to inject a bit of sobriety (even though I just had a few beers) into this thread. You're buying bitcoin so you're able to invest in alt-coins You're banking on bitcoins success for alt-coins to succeed Alt-coins are therefore dependent on...

    I recently turned 31 but I've been bouncing around the world since I turned 18. It's never been hard to make friends, especially outside the U.S. I guess work relationships could skew the results in earlier years but meeting new people is not difficult, especially now, so don't let a]the fear...

    www.coinbase.com is nice if you're not looking to trade. It links up to your bank and initiates a transfer when you buy / sell. If you need an exchange then Bitstamp may be your best bet.

    Imo bitcoin will give you a massive profit while alt-coins crash and burn. They may spike in the short-term though. We're dealing with a protocol here, not simply a digital token used for trade. think TCP/IP, think SMTP. Bitcoin (the payment network, the distributed ledger) is the protocol...

    Seems like a pump and dump to me. Best of luck. I don't see any value in alt coins. Crypto-currencies are really just a efficient, decentralized, cloud based ledger. Multiple ledgers aren't needed. They have value because of the network and infrastructure behind them. Alt coins don't provide a...
