Current Events > I won about $225.24 a month in Bitcoin tonight

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's hard to explain but there are websites that let you rent mining rigs for Bitcoin and you can also get rewarded for commission sales for this too.

Anyways a guy who made a lot from the BTC/BCH fork invested his earnings into the site and decided to "give away" the sign up commission (nearly $50,000). He could have tried hard to trade commission but he gave it way. I was one of the winners.

I say about $225.24 a month because mining depends on current difficulty and Bitcoin price, and the website pays daily so I will reinvest it and also pay it forward.

I was just so happy about this I want to share it with you guys and I know that it's not a lot of money to brag about but it something and it could be invested into something bigger too.

So what does one do with bitcoins besides illegal activities?

That's like saying the U.S. dollar is corrupt because Bernie Madoff did a scam on Wall Street.

I meant it's not a lot of money to brag about.

No, I'm literally asking why use bitcoins for anything besides illegal activity?

I can sell it on Coinbase if I wanted to, but I think you are asking what can you buy with Bitcoin? You can buy VPN services, giftcards, Amazon stuff (through third party, actually at a discount too because of you spend Bitcoin).

So, things you don't need a shady weird currency to purchase?

Let's be honest, it is the preferred currency of perverts and drug dealers.

It's the future currency exchange, not just Bitcoin but blockchain technology is going to spread everwhere. And I will be honest I enjoyed the gains from crypto I had this year. I heard about Bitcoin in 2011 but in 2017 some CEmen made a thread about his Coinbase wallet and I got back into it - made $4k on $120 investment in ETH

Damn, the illegal drug trade and pornography are booming! Not a bad investment tbh.

Some1's alt mad@ currency itt

I don't even use it for drugs, I don't do drugs except marijuana which is already legal in my state.

But still, why are we so focused on the drug war anyways it hasn't gotten us anywhere.

Imagine if we used the same money for healthcare or education.

Oh, I don't care about the illegal activities one bit. But I do know what bitcoin is all about.

I thought coinbase was shutting down its bitcoin trading with the split?

Nope. Quite the opposite. They are adding the other split coin to their service.

Doesn't sound like you do, sounds like you believe in everything you heard from your favorite conspiracy YouTube (I can almost guess which one it is too lol). Almost like it was force fed into you.

I honestly don't see how this is going to ever really catch on. All currency is basically digital now, and isn't it kind of hard to liquidate your coins?

Haven't really read about bitcoin, but I know three people who use them, and only three, and they do for illegal transactions. I know, anecdotal evidence means nothing, but it is a reasonable conclusion.

Well even though I am a Bitcoin enthusiast am probably the worst person to explain it to people. This guy on YouTube he's a normal guy that does a great job of explain Bitcoin to most people. His channel is BTC Sessions.

On August 1st there was a hardfork and split of the Bitcoin blockchain (producing two separate chains) since the the price is grown $500 each.

Trade them for USD or whatever other currency you want on an exchange.
