That actually depends, because there are some currencies which are not only used in one country, but many more.
I can give you a good example, you can just use Euro in this case.

But you can always take the currency let's say from United States (so you take $) and travel with them to Europe, for example to Germany.
There is no problem to convert the USD into Euro, which you can spend in there. All is about finding trusted cantor where you can exchange the money, and to get a good rate on this trade.

With bitcoin you can do the same, but you dont need to travel with cash: you just need some access to the wallet with funds stored.

That is something a little bit too expresive, dont you think?
I dont see a point in cursing just because of that, i totally admit that the behaviour of this "friend" is really not ok but there is no point in saying things of that kind.

More people means that BTC price will go higher, plus the volume of the overall trades is going to increase so thats great for all of us.

But on the other hand,  less people in the network means more time for us to obtain as many bitcoins as possible, before price going to the moon.

I think that there are already solutions provided for such an possibility, im sure there are websites where you can store some specific data, which is released or sent somewhere after some incident occur: it might be your death or anything else.
Also, you can choose some different solution, such as providing an access to this data to your trusted friend, partner or a family member.
However, to be honest I would never have given data to access my bitcoins to my friend, I just simply do not trust anyone ( except my family ) so hard to give him such a sensitive information.
In my opinion, it is just not worth it to risk your money for something like that.

Why do you think taht we should do something with the people that do not want to use bitcoin?
I just simply cannot find any reason, because it seems just stupid for me. We should be happy that not everybody wants to get involved in cryptocurrencies, because that gives us even more opportunities and place to take over the businesses related to this kind of an asset.

Im really happy that im in bitcoin from its beginning, because im actually having a bigger chance to earn on this occasion: the people who are going to get convinced to it in next 3 years, will most probably regret not joining the big trend, and just investing into bitcoin.

I really hope that it will work well for all of us here, im almost sure that we will be very proud of our decision about going into cryptocurrencies

First, you did something very stupid over here. You made a thread and posted even 2 times more, like you try to bump but there is even nothing to bump!

Secondly, getting back to your question: can you tell me why would anyone want to lose 10-15% of their funds, just for converting it to the fiat from BTC ?
That is just simply stupid! Nobody is willing to pay such an ridiculous commision like that, it seems more like a robbery than a service!

You should notice that 2-3 % fee is already really high, and many people are not willing to pay that, when BTC ATM's are having somewhere between 6 to 7%.
15%? A service like that would be laughed off by the markets

To be honest, you didnt give us any reason that actually prooves that bittrex is better.
The main topic of the thread is about comparing Poloniex to Bittrex, and I think that we are also trying to discuss which one of this exchanges is better, when your post just simply does not bring anything new into our talk.

You can trade either with small capital on poloniex, there is no really any requirements, you can deposit as many btc as you  want ( even 0.0005 lol ) so that is not a problem.
Poloniex has a really big volume if we compare it to the other exchanges, which is a really big advantage: also, we can do margin trading which is simply great with such a fair rates for every single cryptocurrency that is listen on this website.

the thing that you are talking about, is the biggest issue we currently have with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies overall.
The number of people interested about it is not so big, which literally makes accepting cryptocurrency payments in shops does not give such an advantage above the other companies.

Also, last times we have to pay higher fees, even sometimes up to 50k satoshi per transaction, and there is still problem about confirmation time, as we are talking about micropayments.
I think it is simply to early to think about something like that.

Using your savings, or returns made from bitcoin related activities to build a cafe, is a brilliant idea.
Holding bitcoins may give you really nice gains just from having your money frozen, but investing them in such a business will bring you something stable, that you can rely on as a source of income.

That is why i have always thought about starting some real, legit company which would be funded by bitcoin at least partly, but that is just i dream about, it is most likely not going to happen.

The exactly same thing is about investing through some brokers on stock market, or even forex. You usually need big amounts of money to just start trading.
There are only few places when you are able to start with as much as 20$ on forex, and there is totally no point in going on stock markets with that amount.

Cryptocurrencies basically provide you a way to start trading on really small positions without any big risk that you will lose big part of your money:as it is with margin call.

Yes, but technical side is not the most expensive and difficult thing if you are thinking about starting a bitcoin casino with safe bankroll and reasonable user interface.
If you start such a project, i think that the biggest issue about that would be to collect enough money to be safe when website plays againsts whales.

With dating sitez you dont have such a trouble. You can simply hire a coder and webmaster to start from a scratch, but all you need is good advertisment, and reasonable engine of binding people.

What are you talking about?
I dont believe in what im just reading, are you sure that you are not out of your mind?

Something like that is understandable for me if the user would be a newbie, but I never expected that from member rank account.
Just go directly to ebay.com, and check if they are accepting bitcoin or any other currency except fiat.

The answer is: no they simply dont. How do you think, if there is something like "Ebay guaranteed" which means that basically they return your money if something is wrong, then how would it work with bitcoin, if transactions are basically anonymous?

Something like that is not possible with guarantee, but anyway  Ebay.com still does not have a service to pay with BTC.

That might be true, but only in case when the person is a talented trader, with required knowledge and education.
Getting into HYIP's is also nothing really profitable, in the most of times when you are depositing your funds on the address of some HYIP you are not going to get your money back, not even talking about the profits that the "company" has promised to you.
There is only way when you can earn on such a scam: you need to enter it as soon as possible, and you need as many referrals as it is possible: with that, you can get really decent money from such an activity.

But do you really want to lie to people because you know that they are going to lose their money?

I think that decentalization is not a Panacea, but it is indeed a very important factor in every case.
As we could have already spot, there is no doubt that every single currency of any goverment is not decentralized which is kind of obvious. The country needs it's own determinant value to give an ability to inhabitants to buy anything they want with that currency, and the issue is about who and how broadcasts the money among the society.

For every single cryptocurrency, decentralization is something necessary (in my opinion) because only in such a case, the value is dependant only on market and the supply/demand rules.
That's why I think it is so crucial for any alt to be completely decentralized.

That might be a good idea to invest in some altcoins that are not yet known so well, if the price is really small. With 1 bitcoin, you can get really nice returns from buying few hundreds of some cheap coins, but you need to consider another very important factor when it comes to any investments: the risk.

I have spotted that you have junior member rank, so you should know some already about different types of coins, especially about scam-coins if you are into altcoin trading.
You should always try at least to estimate the risk you want to take, because investing 1 btc in let's say 3 alts (ETH,XMR and XRP)  contains some risk, but if you want to invest 1 btc in some really cheap coin, then lets be serious, you have to be out of your mind.

You won't earn a big stack of bitcoins thanks to starting faucet service, because there are not many people who are willing to complete captchas, for such a small reward.
It is obvious that doing it is literally wasting your time, so im sure that the faucets are only used by newbies or people who dont have really other way to gather some satoshis which I cannot really understand. After all, buying bitcoins is very easy nowadays,  you can do that through any crypto exxchange or even by using localbitcoins.com

You cannot use adsense for faucet websites, but I might be wrong about this.
There is no doubt that you will get a really small returns from that, the times when there was many people using faucets have passed, you should notice how many users on this forum are trying to explain everyone that captchas is just a waste of their time.

All of us should remember that not only bitcoin, but cryptocurrencies are gaining more and more interest from different kind of people from the every place on the planet.
The promises of insane profits and great returns by doing nothing are attracting such a big number of people, that it is just a little bit overwhelming for me. Luckily, big part of this newbies are going to leave bitcoin soon, and the reason will be very simple: they are going to get scammed by some older users, who are trying to exploit all these naive people that want to get their money doubled in a day without any effort.

I dont like the thought that almost everywhere i need to be extremely cautious because of possible scam attempt, but it does one good thing for a bitcoin: it makes newbies disoriented and sometimes even they start to be against the crypto's, so I can acquire more BTC for better price looks fine for me haha!

The reason that bitcoin will be always number one just does not exist in my opinion, I dont really believe that bitcoin supremacy will last so long ("always") because there are new cryptocurrencies being made or developed every single day. There is a high chance that one of them will finally turn as a bitcoin executor, but to make that happen we still need some time.
Someone may ask why? And this is a very good question, because it is not possible for any altcoin to overcome the BTC without many people in our crypto community, there must be a significant change in some mechanics, the issues about blockchain must be solved and only then we may really see some big moves going on the altcoins market, I assume most of those shit-coins will be dumped instantly, but the real power will still remain.

That is a good idea, gold is not so easy to store, even ar home and you may have a hard times with transporting big amounts of gold from place to place, when you just need Internet connection to send your money (in bitcoins) to any place at the world.

The times when we could see someone saving BTC for fun, has passed and will never be back, its value has grown so high and also so rapidly, that I consider evey single person using cryptocurrency as a investor of some kind, doing it to stack the chips right now, or for the future.

I think that i would rather compare such a precious cryptocurrency more to digital gold than digital cash, because of some reasons.

First is that the bitcoin price has grown higher than gold price, so we passed an important moment when something "virtual" is more expensive than such a rare metal

Secondly we need to remember that BTC is crypto #1, and the rest of cryptos(altcoins) have their value but the bitcoin can be considered also as "gold" in this community.

It is more like digital gold in my opinion.

Best advice I can give you?
Trust nobody, except yourself.

In this world, everyone will try to scam you or take your bitcoins straight away, if you are not going to be careful enough.

I would suggest you just buying some BTC's, you wont regret that, and you can always make a use out of them in a different fashion, but just dont touch gambling, unless you want to harvest profits thanks to investing these BTC into the balance of casino.
 You can go to services section at Marketplace, maybe someone is looking for the skills you have, they will pay you with BTC for the job done.
