Time to get some more Bitcoins?

Bitcoin is NOT essentially money and it certainly isn't a hedge against anything. You guys have a serious case of Dunning–Kruger.

As an ex financial advisor I can assure you with 100% certainty you guys haven't got an iota of an idea about investments.

The best paying ones are shutting down it seems.

Affiliate programs + Bitcoin = no good.

It's totally against the premise of bitcoin, and more than likely, you'll just end up with a bunch of pissed off people in your inbox because their funds got stolen, exchange shut down, whatever.

Why not? Those websites are providing a service and taking a commission from it. What's wrong with their sharing their commission with affiliates who send them quality leads?
 
Yeah - I was looking more into gambling via bitcoin as I scrolled down the list.

Degenerates gonna gamble. Especially if they're provided w a super easy cash to btc conversion option to spend.

I agree with whoever said there's a 100 crypto coins now - the big deal was that it was the leader, now that the buzz wore off - the price drop obviously showed the buzz dying no matter what anyone speculates or disagrees. Now a hipster can make a crypto coin and make a 2015 version of a "savings and rewards card" for his coffee shop.

In b4 major companies share own crypto currencies and start paying employees, allowing people to buy, control a currency in WalmartCoins - and you can use your WalCard at the Starbucks to get a couple of % off your purchase to keep the masses buying within the profiting family.

Bam, tinfoil hats. But not really given what we see happening every day.

Hello all, I have a matter I must get off of my chest as it is eating me alive and I can no longer pretend that I'm ok with it.

I recently started an IPO for my web based porn studio by the name of Klyemax.
The initial IPO offered 250,000 shares at a price of .0001 for a total of 25BTC to start up.
A small amount of the funds were used to procure TLD's as well as for advertising.
The rest I ended up investing into Just-Dice. This is where I made my first mistake.

JD sustained some loses to bankroll and I began to gamble the IPO funds in order to recuperate loses.
At first it was only small amounts I would aim to win to replace any lost funds.
Then the gambling became worse, I started to gamble the funds every other day, often winning half or full BTC and stuffing them in my pocket.

For roughly 8-10 days this went on, And I ended up 14+ BTC. Most of which were used to purchase miners or cashed out and spent on drinks and VLT gambling at a local pub where I was attempting to get the waitresses to come work for me. In hindsight I felt as if I was untouchable and that with all this new found success and ambition I would surely not have to worry about losing either the funds or my sanity.

On may 29th I had deposited the IPO money into my gambling account and began my ritual 33% martingale.
As always the balance of the account began to climb and i watched with excitement and money lust as riches flowwed my direction.

Suddenly everything I had been planning, all of what I was working towards, All of the investment I had sworn to use for good..
It crashed.. I went from 24 BTC down to 10 before I even stopped hitting the "lo" key on my martingale.
My heart sunk in my chest and I felt an unexplainable/unbearable pressure in my chest.
It was at that moment I realized that I had fucked over not only my investors, but myself and my reputation.
Frantically I began betting with the 10 BTC... Trying to recoup the loses I had just endured..
This was all in vain however, I watched my balance drop like a stone in a pond.. I remember as the balance hit zero..
My feeble attempts to recover the BTC were met with tears shortly after it sunk in what I had just done.
The feeling was worse than anything you could possibly imagine.. Akin to losing a family member or worse.

I sat there, in disbelief my emotions wrecked as reality set in that I had made a terrible terrible mistake.

To all investors, I sincerely appologize for misusing the funds you have trusted me with.
It was never my intention to use the funds as I did, I had plans and budgets developed for them.
But my vile nature and greed blinded me.. And I failed you all.

This is a massive set back, which is entirely my fault.

I will continue to try to try and develop Klyemax and get revenue streams flowing. But I have set us back immensely with my own lack of control and inability to know when to stop. This should have never happened and I am deeply troubled by it.

As stated before I will continue to pay out dividends to all invested. Thoughts of suicide have crossed my mind more than a few times in the past week but I am unable to leave my investors high and dry due to my lack of control.
Through porn or through any other revenue stream I can procure I will pay back investors funds in full, This may take me some time but I am not going to bail on the people who shared my vision and supported my en-devour.

This has been very stressful, I have lost countless hours of sleep and had not until now the strength to admit what has been done.
I ask for your understanding and forgiveness at this time.. I also promise to all investors you will receive your investment back via dividends over time and phase 2 is still likely to happen, at which point you are more than welcome to sell off your shares for the agreed face value as stated in the IPO.

Hopefully I can focus more on getting more talent and revenue going to pay back investors more quickly, Given the fact I may be able to sleep at night having gotten this burden out from beneath my heart.

Feel free to PM me hate mail / death threats and neg rep the shit out of me.
I will not run nor hide. I am going to deal with this as I am able to the only way that makes sense at this point in time.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Cheers,

Kyle.T

This is where the money was - IPO'ing a fucking startup. Scratch that, IPO'ing an idea.

If I remember correctly, one of WickedFire's own figured this out pretty early. I think his username is schockergd or something like that. Basically, he raised a round of funding from bitcoin to invest in real estate development, and in exchange for you putting up all the risk, promised 20% of the profits.

Now he's building a real estate empire on top of idiocracy.

Edit: Looks like he just posted above me. Sorry for outing bro.

Dabbling in it for a while and bouncing from the niche/reflecting - BTC/ALT's are a wicked playground, but far from an investors paradise.

I bought a bunch of BTC, alts, and got pretty good at trading (if I sat there for days babysitting that is) for profit/more crypto.
Started a bot for gox
Started our own coin
Started our own exchange (ive sinced walked away from it).
Started to get fed up with the constant stigma, scamming, difficulty with guv's/merchants/exiting/BTC to Fiat problems when you get over $xx,xxx, bank problems etc.

Don't get me wrong, I think ppl will still get filthy rich off their crypto ideas but I also agree it's FAR from a safe investment and far from being regulated which nobody wants BUT the amount of scammers we saw in our run wayyyy outdid the typical aff/merch/hidden rebill/etc shit this forum is used to. Those that make it out with nice bank now are probably going to be those that started services/sites more so than those that simply hold onto it.

If you want to see some of the worlds best hackers, marketers, coders, yesmen, go to the BTT forum and spend a few days there reading their heated threads. When we did our coin, it went to 100 pages within a few days - craziest shit I've ever experienced compared to any forum, launch, logistics in any project I've ever done. Now that the hype has normalized I doubt we'll ever see the crazy swings we did again but that's just my opinion.

Wasn't it like 1/100th the worth of a penny like the 70 others that started at the same time with no discernible differences between them.

EarthCoin (EAC) price, charts, and info | Crypto-Currency Market Capitalizations

I remember seeing earthcoin and trying to figure out the point of it for 10 minutes. I assume the attempt was hoping environmentalist/hippies/vegans/women would go for it? Except they don't give a shit about space-age money. Doesn't fit in with the profile of compost farms and sharing circles.
 
Should do some research on it. I read something recently from a BitCoin investor. Supposedly they are expecting the value to fall as low as the $180s, then it should spike back up. Pretty common pattern. I don't have the site to reference, but it shouldn't be too hard to find if you search pricing trends.
