bitcoin anyone?

[superu]

w/ all this talk going on and people pivoting and putting their all into it.. anybody here made or making money of thee almighty btc?

[slokor]

Actually there are several threads discussing crypto currencies currently ongoing. You can find them all under the 'CryptoCurrency' subforum tab - the link is on the lefthand side.

Yes, i've been using btc since 2013 or 2014. Got some money from exchanging btcs. But not that much since i really don't want to risk my money for something "unrealiable" value of btc.

Bitcoin anyone? should read "Bitcoin everyone" hah.

I bought 1 coin on a dip few weeks back - pretty cool - not getting more right away because I need my cash free and clear to close out the year for business

[vogeltron]

I bought my first coins in July 2015 at $280. You can pry them outta my cold dead hands. I think BCash is trash but will hold it as a hedge. I didn't pay anything for it so why not.

[yotano211]

I only mine coins. I am starting to go over to bitcoin gold. About 35% higher mining profit then ETH.

Im actually holding on to the bitcoin gold I got due to the fork.
Nice to see them going up in value. Cant complain about free money.

Totally unexpected but delightful.

Not at this point.
From what Im seeing the scaling problem is something affecting all crypto currencies which to me means there will be space for more currencies to reduce the pressure on the top blockchains.
Since Bitcoin gold is still in the top 10 I can see it gaining more in value - same way BCH did. Despite what Bitcoin cash enthusiasts say scaling will eventually be an issue for that blockchain as well.

Can you elaborate further on why you believe it will collapse?

It will never collapse. It's longevity is no longer in question IMO. It's future value- there's definitely room for debate there, but it's not going to be a historic thing we look back on as being no longer here in a decades time.

It did a little over the last few days in value right now, but BTC is a long term gainer still

[tentecs]

With this last surge everyone and their nan heard about BTC from the MSM. It has major problems with fees and transaction speed. Its value is propped up by perception and usage persistance. So many alts offer better technology.

Bitcoin down to less than 10k...

[jakobrockz]

BUY BUY BUY... easy 20% gains here. It will surely be back to 12k in the next few days maybe a week

[bigdaz]

never mind bitcoin, litecoin is much better, use it for trading to binance but am now keeping some as the price is ridiculously low
