Information about Bitcoin?
2 2017-11-22 by adriano91
I thought I'd come to his community to get some information that might not be we'll known to the general public. My friends are real advocates and have recently invested in bitcoin. They are doing this through a company called USI Tech (Im Australian). I searched around this subreddit but I'm still confused about the whole thing so if someone can break it down (ELI5) that would be fantastic!
I just want to know what this community thinks about bitcoin and if possible post some links with information? Do you think it's worth investing in?
Thanks in advanced!

Btc is and never was meant to be an investment vehicle
my advice is Don't Play, you'll lose
read up on Etherium

you can't even spell ethereum.
Don't listen to this guy OP. They are both amazing techs. They do different things. Bitcoin is a great store of value (at the moment, soon it will be great for payments as well)
Ethereum is a smart contract (automated contract) platform.

they do? Like what exactly?
Etherium uses Yakamoto's source code!

AHAHAA you mean Nakamoto? jesus christ do you know anything? AI? WTF are you talking about? No, Satoshi Nakamoto is a group of people who designed Bitcoin. It's not an AI.
any who, Bitcoin is a UTXO based Blockchain with a transaction script language, called Script, is a Forth-like reverse-polish no‐tation stack-based execution language while ethereum is a VM (virtual machine, called EVM, ethereum Virtual machines) which is has a state, and it's a giant singleton environment. It also has a semi-Turing complete programing language.
address what exactly?

bitcoin is the greatest invention since the internet. It's up there with human flight, telephone, printing press, automobile, electricity and so on.
The only reason i come to reddit, is to read about crypto (bitcoin/ethereum etc) and conspiracy. I care about no other sub. I've been a conspiracy guy since 2003. I've been in the tech industry since 1999. Before bitcoin, I was hopeless for the future of man kind. After bitcoin, I have hope.
This guy is the best bitcoin talker out there. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ
Wanna know how it actually works? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx9zgZCMqXE
ask me any question you have. I'll try to answer.
cheers.

do you recommend investing in BTC? what is etherium?
1 op-return 2017-11-22
I don't wanna give financial advice. I suggest you spend a day or so learning about bitcoin and crypto. You might fall in love with it like all the crypto heads i know. The best thing you can do is understand the technology. Understand why it's so revolutionary. Make up your own mind. It can crash down to zero tomorrow. It can hit 100,000 per coin in a few years. No one knows. This is uncharted waters. But god damn, i love having a window seat on this ship. What is ethereum?
Thats a whole different ball of wax. It's bitcoin on steroids. It does way more things, but it has it's own drawbacks i think it's a little beyond this topic of conversation.
here is a video to help explain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6bGuKN3m6E

thank you

another question, please sir. if somebody did want to invest in.BTC now, what methods would you suggest? is it as simple as just purchasing BTC for your digital wallet? are guys acquiring BTC in other ways? I know that mining is not really attainable for the average person any more, but I am seeing different ads where guys are getting BTC through various services, etc. I don't expect to be spoon fed these answers but perhaps you could point me in the right direction...I want to get started. thank you for your time

let me help you:
Cloudmining == scam
Bitconnect == scam!!!
BitcoinCash == counterfeit.
these are ways to obtain bitcoin.
mining (like you said, very industrial now. 6 years too late!)
Provide a service for it. (best way) do you cut hair? cut hair for bitcoin. Do you fix cars? fix cars for bitcoin.
buy it at an exchange (coinbase, Gemini) or localbitcoins.
but like i said, the best thing you can do right now, is study it. Learn about it. read about the history. check out http://nakamotoinstitute.org
worse thing you can do is hastily invest in something you don't fully understand. step one! understand the technology. You don't need to learn math. You just need to understand certain concepts. Plenty of youtube videos to help you. You have no excuse for not learning. There are motherfuckers in india with shitty internet connection and bad english who are learning. no excuse!!
again: if you see a video that says " this and that help me get free bitcoins!" or "i get 10 bitcoins by signing up here" just run away! SCAMS ARE EVERYWHERE! BE VERY CAREFUL~

Thank you for these resources. I saved this comment. I am going to do a bit of research first, but if necessary, would you mind answering a few questions via PM in a couple days?

Any time.

I have a question; I've read about the UFC using subscribers pc's to "mine" cryptocurrency. What exactly does this mean and if their mining something, is it any type of digital resource or something?
1 op-return 2017-11-22
Yes. I guess they were\are using people's machines to mine monero. Mining bitcoin with a PC is a complete waste of time. Monero however uses a different mining algo which is still mineable on Pcs.
Watch this video to really understand what mining is. It will blow your mind

Thanks I will. I have a few clients that are accountants & a few who work in finance and they have no clue. Thx for the link

USI Tech appears to be a tool for automatically trading in forex crypto markets, which is different from investing in BTC in the traditional sense of buying and hoping its price goes up. You'll often hear 'don't invest anything you can't afford to lose'. I'd say that is very true in this case.
1 freq-ee 2017-11-22
It's a great investment. But don't buy Bitcoin now. It's going to drop to below $5K. But it will come back to over $15K. So wait until it drops before buying. Don't buy it at $8K
I have a blog an wrote an article about why I think this will happen if you want to read it.

Well, you're wrong. I say this because I went through this with gold. The reason you're wrong is the reason you are right, but that is conventional wisdom, and that is why it will not happen like you think.
I do believe it will be built up more before it is crashed. I think the sell point is $11,195. Then the crash. I don't know how high it will go after that, but $15K is about right. It will be a slow ride after the crash though. There will be better returns out there.

Bitcoin and blockchain are the future. Do you have coinbase in Australia it is a decent way to buy bitcoin. After you have bitcoin you can exchange it for other cryptocurrencies. Some good exchanges I can recommend are bittrex, poloniex, or binance. Good luck, it’s the Wild West so, protect yourself from hackers buy a trezor or ledger wallet, it’s a small usb hard drive that will keep all your bitcoin and crypto safe.

Bitcoin is destroying the environment and will eventually crash the internet.
