It's too late now, don't even waste your time. This gravy train is pretty much over. There's an exponentially less number of bitcoins produced each day. At this point it would take over 5 years for you to break even if you want to go the mining route. @illadope posted some online cloud mining shyt and you could possibly look into that but that isn't going to make you rich.


Def aint too late at all, just with anything its how you utilize things. If you want to day trade bitcoins then yeah thats kinda hard but there are still really lucrative ways of doing so.

Bullsh*t. In high school, which was less than 7 years ago for me, Google was just some place my english teacher told me to go to to search for stuff. Nobody knew in 2013, they'd be dominating the smart phone market or selling electronics or that they'd have their own browser and OS. Smartphones weren't even around then I don't think.

Here's some numbers

Google IPO'd in 2004. It's revenue for that year (2004) was $3.189 Billion
Faceook IPO'd in 2012. It's revenue for that year (2012) was $5.1 Billion

Looks familiar huh?

Give Facebook some time.
Google provided a necessary service in where it stored ALL information publicly accessible via search. Facebook's whole business model is the fact that people still think its "cool enough" to use and chat through.

All it will take is for Facebook to become hated and the great merge will happen

You need the email to access the bitcoins? again, Id keep searching, if all you need is the email, Im sure there's a way to get the coins back
yes because i don't even remember the bitcoin company ( don't even know if they're functional any more) or passwords, username or anything for the website. i though i would use it as a 1 time thing and i though nothing of bitcoin at that time. who would have though that shyt is digital gold...dammnnit..the only hope that i had was the email account (hushmail) and i would try looking through the emails but i don't think its possible at all..

You keep talking about smartphone's and tv's....do you even know how Google makes its money? You keep acting like they were just a search company, so that suggests you don't.

If you understood how Google made its money you'd see how easy it was to monetize their genius idea.

Don't hold your breath friend. If people don't hate Facebook after 10 years, it's safe to say to say you'll be waiting a long time :troll:


Facebook provides a necessary service. YOU may not think it's necessary but, it is. Facebook keeps people in contact with friends and family. People you would lose contact with otherwise. Yes. Another company could come in and sweep people away from Facebook. I highly doubt it. 10 years ago before Google solidified it's spot as the top search engine, there were alot of other portals out there trying to take it's place. Google held on because they were the best at search and people like what's familiar. Facebook is familiar.

Many people hate facebook now and its only getting worse year after year. Yeah its holding on to the fact that many people still consider it "cool", but its losing that "IT" factor and quite frankly too many people don't trust them to ever come back to it. A company just needs to capitalize and crush it.

Google? Good luck, their algorithm is stuck to most of the web, get rejected on google and you will have a tough time getting organic traffic.

You sound like the dumbass saying Facebook can't monetize when it actually made more money its first year after going public than Google did its first year. Understand the company you're criticizing first :camby:

Google makes money from ads. They also started doing other things like selling smartphones, which is why I brought it up. Point is, Google didn't have their business model perfected when they first started. They weren't selling phones ten years ago, Adwords wasn't what it is now ten years ago, Google wasn't a tech juggernaut ten years ago. If you had a crystal ball and knew how big Google was gonna get, why aren't you rich breh :comeon:


Give Facebook the same amount of time and they will expand their business the same. I'm pretty sure all 5,000 engineers over there know a little more about this thing than you breh :camby: I think Sheryl Sandberg knows a couple things too :camby:

:bryan: damn breh I'd keep searching. Figure out who owned the email client, offer a reward. This si the internet and info isnt completely erase. Or maybe it is

Facebook is just too big at this point. They have too much money, too much footing and too much talent. Outside of Instagram, they don't even buy smaller companies for the company anymore. They just want to acquire as much talent in the valley as possible. And they have. They'll continue to keep Facebook fresh. People will complain about the changes and how wack Facebook is but, they'll never leave. And if a new company does rise up, Facebook will offer to buy them or just outright take their idea and make it better like they did Vine.
