Yes , it is real money for me! I can use it to pay many things! Even I can convert btc to the balance in my debt card for real life spending as well! PayPal were getting down for a few hours, which made me believe the potential of it in the near future!

People who sold got lucky because the prices and payments kept going down. Had there been anothere hashlet hype or bitcoin pump they would be the losers.
It's a gamble, you never know what the day will bring. Maybe tomorrow bitcoin reaches $400 or drops to $300. Maybe paycoin gets some media attention and skyrockets, I wish them all the best.

I came here to learn more information about bitcoin. the first time I found bitcointalk.org through google, where I was searching about bitcoin and I found a topic here and from then on I joined here.

There should be no increase to the block size limit and the block size limit of 8 mb is a good thing, best thing for everybody involved would be for the proposed changes to be simply dropped and Bitcoin developers to get on with making proper technical solutions rather than hacky patches, current proposals for raising the block size are reckless, unnecessary, and potentially disastrous.

Bitcoin transactions are sent from and to electronic bitcoin wallets like Blockchain, other in market and are digitally signed for security. Everyone on the network knows about a transaction, and the history of a transaction can be traced back to the point where the bitcoins were produced. Keeping record of transactions will help you to see how and when you have used it or traded it

If you are just getting into Bitcoins and started by installing the Bitcoin wallet on your computer you may notice that the synchronization process with the Bitcoin network is taking up quite some time. This is due to the very large blockchain that has been generated so far and it will continue to grow even bigger, so besides more than 10 Gigabytes of space you need to be ready to wait a bit. There is however a clever solution that might speed thing up, you can download a file to help you import most of the blockchain locally much faster and then synchronize with the rest of the network in no time.

Trump is a celebrity with a built-in fan base, but it is unclear how strong his support will remain once he is forced to answer serious questions like a serious candidate and how many of his current supporters will defect once they learn more about other candidates in the race, all of whom presently have lower name recognition in these early stages of the 2016 campaign.  Further, Trump is currently riding a wave based on his skillful tapping into populist anger at Washington, but even putting aside his qualifications for office, he's not particularly conservative, so the odds of him winning over primary voters (who tend to want "real" conservative candidates) is slim.  And finally, there is a large segment of the population, including many Republicans, who will never vote for Trump under any circumstances.  Trump likely has a larger built-in opposition than any other current candidate for president, Hillary Clinton and self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders included.

To use gambling as a means to earn a living.
Not everybody can do this, but a minority can. These are the professional gamblers. Professional gamblers literally gamble for a living. How is that possible, you say? How can you make money from a gamble? Well, what these gamblers do is they cut the gaming part out of the games they play as much as possible. Games of skill which bring positive results - video poker, poker, blackjack, craps - are what the pros like to play. When you gamble in this way, you are not really gambling like ordinary folks do. You're playing for money. Actually, it's a very cool job if you ask them!

savings, you need to know your goals to decide if you should invest. Specifically, you need to know which of your goals are short-term, and which are long-term.
Short-term goals are things you plan to do within the next five years
Medium-term goals are things you plan to do within the next 5-10 years
Longer-term goals are ones where you’re won’t need the money for ten years or more
For your short-term goals, the rule is to save into cash deposits. The stock market may go up or down in the short term and if you invest for less than five years you might well make a loss.
For longer-term goals, it’s often best to invest because inflation can seriously affect the value of cash savings over the medium and long term. The stock market tends to do better than cash over time. The longer you can leave your money, the more chance you have of making a profit.
For the medium term, cash deposits may sometimes be the best answer, but it depends on how much inflation risk you are willing to take, and whether you need a certain sum on a certain date.
Investing money is better than saving but it all depends on your goal and your need for that money.

If Bitcoin became global currency, it would necessarily limit what bankers and govt could do. It would be much, much more difficult for govt to finance wars, continually expand welfare roles  Bankers would also have more incentive to limit it's lending. If people ready to accept all these things means It will become a global currency.

I think Its good to save enough money to stand on so you will not be broke in the future. Imagine if 20 million people want to save 1 BTC for future spending, then we would only have 1 million BTC in circulation. I almost forgot about the BTC that has been destroyed so the number of BTC available for people to save and spend is less than 21 million total BTC. It is technically not possible to replace the U.S. dollar with Bitcoin

To avoiding PayPal scams is not hard. To start with many of these scam emails are already filtered to your spam folder. If for some reason one escapes through the email.All you have to do is login to your Paypal account. The address bar doesn’t say paypal.com so be sure not to enter your login info means confirm the webpage is a scam and they said they currently have no such promotion. So be careful about this to avoid to getting scam.

I think there is a bug in the windows version that can corrupt the database when you shutdown the client. You might want to try reindexing the blockchain or reinstalling the blockchain but use the same wallet, or try to export your private keys and import them into a different wallet such as multibit.

Better always go with blockchain This is whats known as a hybrid wallet meaning the company stores your wallet online but they do not have access to your private keys. However since the wallet is loaded from their servers some trust in the company is still needed.I will Recommend for beginners who are trying out Bitcoin
