More advantages of bitcoins over cash are :
- you don’t have to pay taxes on them
-they can't be easily stolen
-no paperwork
-irreversible transactions

Sometimes they can though. Most banks have better security than most Bitcoin holders I think.

~
-irreversible transactions

And this is not good in some cases.

But overall I support Bitcoin and I think it is still better than cash.

No one of normal people don't want war and war still happening. This is fact.
Stronger always attack weaker and this is it.US goverment is controled by selfish interest
of multinational corporation and they are in possession of few the richest families..
They need war for profit!


But all of them live in this world, right? They are not so stupid IMO, they know war can affect them and war can spoil their lives too. Also I'm sure some of them are thinking about other people's lives too. Not all rich families are as bad as we might think, they are human as we are.

Genders don't play a part in using btc to be honest, cause even guys might feel btc is dodgy or shady. (Whatever you call it)

Thanks, I kind of waited for a reply like this. Indeed in the modern world where women receive the same education as men there is no reason to think that women are less educated. Since Bitcoin is used mostly by educated people it can be used equally by both genders.

There is no need to motivate women to use Bitcoin, they are using it already and will be using it in the future.

There is much more men than women using bitcoin.
Denying facts isn't equality.

I'm not denying facts, I agree with you. Yes, more men than women are using Bitocin now, but should we take a different approach when motivating women? I don't think so. What I'm saying is that today educated women and men have almost the same set of mind.

You don't really need to bet all your money, and you should not drink until you pass out.


I agree. All problems arise because of overusing of something. You shouldn't "stay away" just try to learn how to control yourself. It's not about gambling or drinking it's about control.
11986  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: March 15, 2016, 05:52:20 PM
Depends on how much bitcoin is worth in 20 years, I am pro-bitcoin so I would say it would be around $2000-$3000 dollars and therefore would require around 300-500 bitcoins to retire.

I am also pro-bitcoin my my estimation is a bit more optimistic. In 20 years Bitcoin will be at least $10,000 (I think it will cost more than that but I'm saying at least).

So IMO to retire in 20 years you'll need 200-300 Bitcoins depending on your demands.
11987  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cheap electricity for mining Bitcoin on: March 15, 2016, 05:44:46 PM
Is there anywhere where people are using solar panel miners to run miners with them ?

Yes, if you browse through this mining section than you will find related information. Since electricity is quite expensive in most of the countries, only option now left is utilize solar power to mine bitcoins but it needs initial investments higher than normal mining methods.

Exactly! And that's why it is almost impossible to have ROI with solar panels. Many people in those threads are talking about it. Only if you manage somehow to get solar panels free or for very low price (mybe used ones?) you might consider using them.
11988  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is there a "West"? Is the "West" responsible for all the troubles of the world? on: March 15, 2016, 05:33:35 PM
If the West was responsible for all the troubles, where have all the troubles gone to in Japan?  China?  Russia?  Chile?  Germany?   Alaska?  

If there is a "West" that is the great evil, where is it and who is it?

If "the West" is responsible for all the trouble in Iraq, why is there no trouble in Japan or Germany?

Does "the West" include Israel?  

All dictators in the world say to people of their countries that the "West" is responsible for all their troubles, but of course they are lying. IMO if all countries of the world were governed like like "Western" countries the people there would feel much better.
11989  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: March 15, 2016, 12:35:46 PM
Believe in it or not Bitcoin will be rising and those who have trust in it will be in profit. Although more acceptance wouldn't hurt, Bitcoin is already trusted enough to rise slowly but steadily with some insignificant fluctuations.

warmer weather still allowing the passive cooling?

Yes, I hope that OP will remeber about the topic he started. ) He was Last Active:   March 12, 2016, 06:50:23 PM, it's just 3 days ago, but for unknown reason he didn't update.

OP, just to see a few words from you would be nice. )
11991  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Terrorist Bomb Attack In Ankara on: March 15, 2016, 11:48:44 AM
During the past few weeks, the Turkish army killed more than 1,000 Kurdish civilians in Cizre and Diyarbakır, the vast majority being women and children. At least two hundred civilians were burned to death. The recent attack in Ankara seems to be a retaliation by the PKK, against the war crimes committed by the Turkish army in Cizre and Diyarbakır. Now the Turks will understand how it feels like losing a loved one.

Turks are specialists in genocide.  Remember Armenian genocide?



That doesn't justifiy the terrorist attacks. It's like you say the 9/11 is also justified because all the wars that Americans started in Arab countries.

I agree with this. IMO no terrorist attack is justified, ever. A lot of innocent people die during these attacks and some of them I'm sure are not supporting war and are against any killing in general.

Some quick update guys.
Microsoft will continue accepting Bitcoin it seems!

Quote
“We continue to support Bitcoin for adding money to your Microsoft Account which can be used for purchasing content in the Windows and Xbox stores,” a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat. “We apologize for inaccurate information that was inadvertently posted to a Microsoft site, which is currently being corrected.”


Good for them. Today if you want to ruin your business state that you are not accepting Bitcoin and vice versa. ) And now it's on the news everywhere: "Microsoft apologizes: We still accept bitcoin". Nice ))

Hopefuly they will regret this step in the future. I mean they just made a step back in the past and they will regret it. ))
11994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much BTC have you gambled? on: March 14, 2016, 03:14:16 PM
I bet with very small amounts only so the total wagered amount of my gambling on different sites is no more than 3 BTC. That's because I like to play dice at win chances 1%, 0.1% and 0.01% making very small bets. The 0.01% is my favorite, if you hit the wanted number your bet will be multiplied 9900x. )
I also, at this time I have never bet with big bets, I always bet with small bets, it's because I never lost a substantial amount possible, now I've got about $ 120 in gambling

Congrats if your profit from gambling is $120! That's great and pretty unusual. But I'm not sure, did you mean you've wagered $120 or you won $120?
11995  Economy / Economics / Re: Minimum limit for buying BTC on: March 14, 2016, 03:09:25 PM
Here in Belgium I can buy the equivalent of 1 euro in Bitcoin through a service called bitonic (based in The Netherlands).
You can pay with online banking, which is pretty handy for me personally..

I've noticed they have pretty high fees lately, so might still change services in the future.

Isn't it more convenient to buy small amounts of BTC right here, on this forum? I have never done it myself but I thought those kind of deals have been made here.

11998  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Be Honest. We Are Waiting for $100/BTC to buy on: March 14, 2016, 12:40:55 PM
I think the bottom is at $200-220, can't see it fall more. Not unless the scaling debate takes an ugly turn before the next halving

lol no, the bottom this year is still $350. so far nothing has changed. not sure how you come up with $200-$220 as these prices are not part of the question anymore.

I agree. Even though Bitcoin has had some bad publicity recently the price of it wouldn't drop much because of that. I think we can be pretty sure that we will never see below $350 and I secretly hope that even below $390 will never happen again.

I am pro-gun but you NEVER leave a loaded firearm lying around anywhere, especially near kids. This woman is stupid.

Exactly. Not only guns but many other things too harm people when improperly used. IMO the safety of people is about education, not prohibitition.

Well, you know ... betting with 1.01 ODDS you have 99% chance to win the bet. So it's not something unusual that you've won. You might win many times in a row betting like this but if you lose only once your profit will be negative.

Only after winning more than 100 times in a row you can claim that you are a betting god. )

It's 99.999999999%, or let's just say 100%.


I don't get it. Why are you saying it's 99.999999999% when it's only 99%. I play dice a lot and trust me I know the difference. Even though sports bets and dice are not the same thing, they have something in common when we are talking about the odds.
