Basically, people are paying for nothing, and eventually they will get nothing. The people that started it, and got everybody else to hand over their money for something that has no intrinsic value, are the ones that make out.

Post by: surveygrabber on June 16, 2017, 12:50:16 am: I used to use sites to earn bitcoins but I've stopped doing this as they are very difficult to use and very difficult to cashout when using coinbase.

The US Dollar has no intrinsic value either. It's like any other currency.

Post by: adriarobi on June 29, 2017, 06:06:59 am: A lot of scandal in the bitcoin trade. Not sure what it is, but I have too little money to risk.

Yeah, American money is not backed by gold anymore (thanks to Prez Nixon, I believe), but it is accepted almost every where in the world.
