Bitcoin, Your Thoughts?

If you have a fast Gaming computer with multiple highend videocards, and a faster CPU, you can mine Bitcoin yourself, so you'll only be using electricity and your own computer to mine bitcoin.

If your electricity prices are cheap, or you use Solar, Wind, and other forms of renewable, and self-made electricity for your PC it may not be very expensive to mine Bitcoin yourself.

Your Bitcoin could be worth more when real currency like the Spanish Peso, US dollar, and Japanese Yen loses more of its value because of the poor economy, and uncertainty in the world.

I tried it a while ago, the "wallets" turned me away.
 
Bitcoin isnt doing very well at the moment though, I have got 0.04 btc. It was worth about £8 at one point, as of right now its worth £2.26, I payed about £4 for it though and it was only to see how it was.
 
I've heard it's lost a good chunk of it's value since its peak.
 
There are loads now though isn't there, litecoin being the next biggest.
 
It's pretty handy I must admit!<br /><br />-- 02 Aug 2013, 21:22 --<br /><br />It's pretty handy I must admit!
 
I haven't really shown any real interest towards Bitcoin until I read the part about it being a P2P network, or a "digital currency" for investments. I was under the impression that it's another PayPal, but then my ignorance shows for a slight moment. I'll give this service a look today.

Yen only remains so low in value due to the Japanese government attempting to keep it down because it encourages outside trading into the country and buying in Japan from foreigners.
 
I have thought about mining Bitcoin in the past but honestly have never got around to actually doing so.

It's actually a lot more complicated to start mining than one would expect. And at its current difficulty level, solo mining isn't really profitable anymore. That fact kind of sucks, and makes me want to switch to an alt-coin like Litecoin. However, you're kind of stuck with Bitcoin because it's really the only coin that has any sort of acceptance outside of the internet.

I think mining requires separate cpu and more power.
Actually, most mining is done with GPU's now. I've contemplated purchasing a mining rig, but I'm unsure how long that will continue to be profitable.
 
This is the first time me hearing about it. xD might try it soon.

I read on http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/20 ... -homeless/ the homeless with smartphones and laptops connected to free wifi at the park, and library are using Bitcoin earning apps, and websites to earn bitcoin which they latter exchange for a meal.

"he has earned somewhere between four or five bitcoins — about $500 to $630 today — through YouTube videos, Bitcoin Tapper, and the occasional donation. And when he does odd jobs for people around Pensacola — here in the physical world — he still gets paid in bitcoin, just because it’s easier and safer. He doesn’t have to worry as much about getting robbed."
