Bitcoin Forum

Seems so easy to get lost in our own little worlds of personal greed and forget what bitcoin is really all about.

It is all about rewritting the failed experiment of western consumerism.

It is all about a true global community without borders and central government oppression.

Bitcoin is already a global currency, just the first one. Which is showing humanity there is another way to live other than under wasteful  military and central banking adventures.

Maybe I'm getting outa line for this forum.

Is this forum really about Bitcoin?

Yes, Completely agree with you. Bitcoin has been created for other things such as decentralization. But most of the people including myself are looking at bitcoin as an investment which will make us reach.

In a mind of a person with great vision probably yes but to a mere merchant and people who is trying to survive for everyday life, it is no more than a currency where he can take profit from if gets involved in its activities.  I am afraid I am one of those who just look at Bitcoin as a mere currency, a tool to use to to satisfy one's need or greed.  I am not politician nor a diplomat, and just have a normal guys view about Bitcoin. So in my opinion it is just a tool as a currency,  and the vision behind it depends on who is using it IMO.

If satoshi would be here to see everything that bitcoin has reached right now, it would be amazing to have him in here just like it was before.
I saw his posts and he was always replying to other people questions about bitcoins, and how did the technology works, now that he is not in this forum anymore it is so strange, just imagine how it would be to have him in here again. Bitcoin is now globally, just like he wanted it to be, and it is a success, i have never doubted about bitcoin and about all the things that it was going to reach in a near future.

I totally agree with you. Bitcoin is so much more than just a global currency worth $$$.

Not just a currency but also an asset.  If you are holding a stock share from stockmarket. Bitcoin is a very good HOLD asset to keep. Compare to Forex or stockmarket. Bitcoin can be transferred from your local wallet, or from exchange site to exchange site. It can be a good heritage wealth too. Imagine you can pass your crypto coin as heritage money to your kids? Isnt great?

It's sad to actually know that bitcoin is just used as another asset for investment and capitalists are also taking advantage of that as well. Banks are slowly developing their own crypto and would now soon be embraced by the regular folks again.




That's entirely subjective, but this forum is supposed to be dedicated to bitcoin however due to the advent of altcoins, this has also harbored those coins as well.

No, this isn't about just bitcoin anymore. This is just where it all started.

Yeah it can changes your life it gives us a opportunity to reach your goals and to have know everything bitcoin was a friend that gives me also hope in life.

You'd hope everyone investing in bitcoin would look into it and know what it's really about. But it's still okay for people to buy hoping for financial returns and appreciating the rest.

Currency for trading is a human necessity. Bitcoin does this globally; suddenly making a true global community possible.

Maybe not how the globalist central banks ( who finance the military) would like but more along the line of most of us small folks riding bicycles and marketing something we grow in our backyard.

We just witnessed how Bitcoin resisted an attempted takeover by bankster/forkster crooks.

Bitcoin is proving to be quite resilient, though we can be sure more attacks are underway.

the immediate threat of high fees is very real but we have real tools now to fight that. Like the faster smaller coins; ETH, LTC, XMR ect.

The real threat will come from government trying to feed up more bullshit about drugs, crime.
 If government didn't endeavor a phony militarized war on drugs (read: native medicinal plants) there would be precious little crime!
This war is for the big pharmaceutical companies, military industries, associated banking scum.

Suddenly we the people have decentralized tools to fight the government oppression.
We just gotta continue to endeavor to see through the bullshit they are trying to feed us on a daily basis.

A lifetime opportunity that if you heard about this you should not missed. Bitcoin is everything, not just currency but everything for me, its technology will help us move forward for a better tomorrow. Its unique system that allows people to transact easily and earn money.

Indeed bitcoin is a wonderful opportunity to escape the slavery of the current financial world of consumerism.

The thing that concerns me some; is how the Internet is pretty much owned and controlled by 5 companies: All USA based and arms of the NSA, CIA.
The military cryptography for Bitcoin comes from the NSA.
So they certainly know what is going on.
But still this is an opportunity for "We the People" to direct and shape this change of culture and society.

I suspect some of the deep thinkers inside the NSA/CIA realize how they screwed up with the Federal Reserve and are willing to let the Bitcoin revolution play.

we can say bitcoin is more than just currency because bitcoin can be function as investment, asset, money, and else. and now with bitcoin price is increase, I think bitcoin is work as investment because there is many people which still holding their bitcoin and not gonna sell all of their bitcoin and they are waiting the higher price.

You are also implying that bitcoin is just another currency which is run by a lot of people's greediness and being incomplete. I am one of the people who want to earn money from this forum, and I guess we can choose at the same time to know what really is bitcoin and earning money. Bitcoin is the root of all crypto currency, so I think it is ok that other altcoin are in here the forum.

Wherever there is money, there is a room for greed. The problem with the community is they do not really care about the purpose of "cryptocurrency" anymore, all they care about is the profit. Which is in the long run will hurt each of us in the community.

Anyway, yes, this forum is about bitcoin. I still believe in the integrity of the old people around here, I'm just cautious with talking to noobs because most of them are only here to get money, not to get knowledge.

Exactly. Thanks OP. It's not about bullshit gains of 200x and "too the moooon" . It's about having a bank in your pocket. It's about never having to trust anyone with your money again. It's about the money that you don't have to trust with anyone being a finite number and it's about the actual financial freedom that people could never even fathom before.

So many newbs are in bitcoin to earn more fiat. These people are still slaves to their back bullshit "print some more money" governments.

I told a friend that i was going to have like a bank account only that it was going to be runned by cryptocurrencies, "digital coins" and he told me that i was crazy, it was when bitcoin was less than 1/8 of its actual price. Now he has introduced himself to all this sytem, and he is holding some bitcoins too.
But i was serious when i told him that bitcoins works like a bank account, you can have all your money in there, and see it growing because the high volatility of the price.
I am happy to see that all this thing is now being a reality.

For me, yes bitcoin isn't just a currency that is simple we used to buy things, to trade money and use when we need to pay debts or buy our need. Bitcoin is a digital and decwntralized currency which we must use in order for us to have some earning and income even if we don't have any jobs.

Yes your right bitcoin is so important in many ways and it is money too so u can buy anythings in just one bitcoin

I think we can really say that whenever money is the topic, greedy people will be always around the corner to snoop in. You can't just clean this forum with the people like that, as you can see the forum is becoming popular, it's just, it is popular because of how you can earn money in here not because it is all about bitcoin which is said to be the father of all crypto currency.

Yes i think it is just more than a currency because people treat it as their daily income and they get money from it, and then as theybise bitcoin they also internalize what they do,and the big group of companies are treating bitcoin as a help.

Because of its increasing price every year many people are using Bitcoin as a long-term investment.
this means Bitcoin is not just a crypto currency but also a profitable investment.

Yes Bitcoin is indeed more than just a currency!

It is a digital payment system - a hassle free payment system wherein you can pay your bills online.

It is a medium of exchange - lots of people and store now are accepting Bitcoin as payment for products and services availed.

It is a store of value - it started at a very cheap price and now a Bitcoin costs around $7800. The market is very volatile.

It is a unit of account - retailers are accepting Bitcoin as their unit of account when selling something.

It is a foreign exchange - Bitcoin can be exchange into different currencies given that the buyer is willing to exchange it to their fiat money.

These are the basic characteristics of Bitcoin. There many more characteristics that can describe it but these are the most common and most important. As time goes by, Bitcoin will definitely evolve more into something more useful and more valuable to humankind.

There is no doubt that Bitcoin is not only a kind of money but also a kind of asset. With the big trust from many people around the world, there are many investors store Bitcoin as a long-term asset.

yes that's right, bitcoin is basically a digital / electronic currency. but with an increase in price each year makes bitcoin more than just the common currency but as an asset and as an investment. bitcoin is a trend or may be said to be a new discovery in this century.

Those are what it's for, initially. You're not going to find many people here who actually, genuinely care about those, though. They may mention them in passing when talking about the advantages of Bitcoin, but are actually around for the money. It's pretty hard to blame them, either, because Bitcoin has been synonymous with massive returns for a while now. The only reason it's currently as big and as popular as it is is because of these investors. But hey, if Bitcoin can still achieve these ideals in the end, then it's not so bad, right?

totally agreed, it is more than what it have become, bitcoin is mostly used as an currency or asset, you can call it greed or need for the ones who are using it,many of users it as a side payment tool to fulfill their extra needs which is not being fulfilled by their regular earnings,new user base increase in this forum mostly belongs to this type of community,some save it to use it later when they need it.i think its totally fine to use however they want,everything can not be enjoyed or used same way as other ,maybe big reforms or powerful people use it in different way than the normal people around the world.

Majority of people may say bitcoin as a currency that can be used to meet the necessities of life and as an investment, right now I also think so. But surely there is someone who sees bitcoin not in terms of profit alone.

Bitcoin is more than just a currency because it can help meet the needs of life, and bitcoin is also not tied to banks and governments in this country. and bitcoin also help make it easier for users to shop and transact without revealing their identity, by transacting online with bitcoin wherever it becomes easier.

I think we have already made some progress to improve "Western Consumerism" because most people are hoarding their bitcoins. <this encourage a saving culture and less people are spending their money on worthless consumer items>

We will never get rid of the influence of governments. <That is just a pipe dream> If Bitcoin becomes 100% anonymous and unregulated, it will die a quick death. <Most countries will ban it>

Bitcoin also disrupted some of the traditional financial systems, for example : Banks & Remittance services.

Yeah we can't do anything about greedy people and it's true that there's no way we can filter those kind of people in this community. But we cannot really blame people for being here for the sole purpose of earning through services. Besides, we have Services section in this forum that's why they're here. Maybe let's just be happy and contented with the fact that they are also gaining more knowledge not just about bitcoin but the whole cryptocurrency. This forum maybe dedicated for bitcoin community but like anything else in this world we learn to adapt.

Bitcoin is not only a currency, but also a good investment and wealth management product, because the price of the general currency is not volatile, but the price band of the Bitcoin is very large, which is very suitable for investment banking.

Sure enough and I think it's perfectly fine to work it for some profit.
What is objectionable is the greedy shenanigans like we just saw from the bicoincash forkster/scamster antics.
Roger Ver and his crew have foverever lost their integrity and any good repution they might have had by being greedy.
It is fascinating to see how bitcoin effectively cleans itself up by weathering these attacks.
We can expect more of these attacks and likely worse from fearful small minded governments.

The reality is that bitcoin opens new opportunity not just for regular folks but the likes of Visa and similar institutions by openning access to billions more people.

Along with expected attacks there will be unexpected embracing of bitcoin.

Since the internet is basicaly owned by 5 US corporations who are actually NSA&CIA it would not surprize me to suddenly see the USA embrace decentralized crypto  currencies.
Likely the only way they can get out of the 20 trillion dollar jam up they have at the Federal Reserve.
We are entering very new cultural possibilties, as the old ones are very clearly not sustainable. It is happenning pretty fast too.

Bitcoin has adopted a fast growth in short period of time. It is digital currency more than that it is a good investment, we don't want to depend upon anybody, seems like our own bank though which we can achieve all our goals.

This is not a currency even, it's something new, in which there are many more pluses and functions!

Ypu can't really blame people if they're veering away from bitcoin's original purpose. There's profit in bitcoin and probably in due time we'll see it mainly as a way to do better transactions. For now, its going to be for profit and it's value. That aspect made bitcoin popular as well to other people

I do believe that bitcoin is more of an investment rather than thinking that it is a currency. Bitcoin is completely changing the world by now.

I answer it yes!this forum is really about bitcoin and not at all talking about investment and trading currency its also developed your personality of being an entrepreneurs and good community servant.bitcoins is not only about currency and business talking its also help developed a social awarenes of enviromental protection by preserving mother nature and how they do it, mostly ICO campaign sponsored some enviromental works,or other institution to help those poor people need help.
