Work together with your child to find a new technique he can use to try to shut down the video games in a much more timely fashion. For example, maybe you discuss the idea of your child avoiding certain more engaging games at certain times, or set up a reward system for turning the game off when a timer goes off.
122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are The Banks Scared of Bitcoin? on: January 08, 2018, 11:52:33 PM
Banks never had a powerful contender for centuries and that has changed with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has eliminated the need for a central institution to facilitate the exchange. With Bitcoin, the control of money is sliding from institutions like banks and governments.
123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC Mining vs Buying on: January 08, 2018, 11:45:22 PM
If you have enough time and money to invest in Bitcoins then go for mining otherwise buying Bitcoins is more easy. Bitcoin mining requires high speed computers and efficient hardwares. Mostly it can cost from few hundred to thousand dollars. Bitcoin by default will make mining a difficult task with time.
124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will crypto replace fiat money? on: January 08, 2018, 11:36:39 PM
A cryptocurrency is as much an investment as it is a utility to perform transactions. A vast majority of the world’s population deals in only one currency – their local currency, and the intention of using this currency is purely as a payment utility and not as an investment instrument. If one were to use a cryptocurrency, there is no central authority to execute stability measures and bring things into control when there is a crash. There is no centrally covered insurance on the accounts/wallets. The users will see their wealth erode quickly and will have no backstop or insurance to save their monetary assets.

They will not solve all of the problems of the world and the underprivileged in one fell swoop. Instead, we need to view them more as tools that can be used to help developing world countries with the right planning and intentions. There are many ways that cryptocurrencies can help our world, with reduced remittance fees, greater access to banking, combating inflation and fighting corruption just being some of them.
126  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Best Countries for Bitcoin Businesses on: January 07, 2018, 04:56:04 PM
Japan is one of the friendliest countries on earth towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Japan is one of the biggest trading hubs on earth concentrating lot of the cryptocurrency trading volume.
127  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Will Bitcoin transations be taxed in all countries in the future? on: January 07, 2018, 04:47:23 PM
The IRS finally announced its treatment of bitcoin regarding taxation. In the eyes of the IRS, bitcoin is treated as a piece of property, and rules surrounding taxation would be the same as those applied to stocks and barter transactions. Regarding transactions, if a person receives bitcoin as a form of payment for a good or service, they are to record that as income in terms of the USD value at that given time.
128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can ruin a Country? on: January 07, 2018, 04:29:59 PM
If bitcoin or another cryptocurrency become widely adopted, the entire banking system could become irrelevant. While this may sound like a wonderful concept in light of the recent behavior of the banking industry, there are two sides to every story. Without banks, who will you call when your mortgage payment gets hacked? How will you earn interest on your savings? Who will provide assistance when a transfer of assets fails or a technical glitch occurs? While the financial crisis gave bankers an even worse reputation than they already had, there is something to be said for institutions that oversee timely, effective, and trustworthy asset transfers and their associated recordkeeping. There’s also the issue of the fees banks earn for the services they provide. Those fees generate a lot of revenue and a lot of jobs across the global banking industry. Without banks, those jobs disappear, as does the tax revenue those banks and their employees’ paychecks generate. Money transfer business would also disappear in a virtual world. Nobody needs Western Union or its competitors if everybody is using bitcoin.
129  Economy / Economics / Re: Five common mistakes made by Bitcoin users on: January 07, 2018, 03:56:42 PM
Being unaware of or inability to identify phishing and phishing attackers. Attacker impersonates reputable sources to lure victims to give money, or give access or data the attacker should not have. It is common on Slack and other cryptocurrency platforms and messaging services.
130  Economy / Speculation / Re: how to predict bitcoin price increase or decrease? on: January 07, 2018, 03:06:22 PM
No, It’s unpredictable. Completely governed by “Demand and Supply”. No agency, no government can control it.
131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the advantages of having Bitcoin? on: January 07, 2018, 02:54:20 PM
There is no way for a third party to intercept transactions of Bitcoins, and therefore there is no viable way to implement a Bitcoin taxation system. The only way to pay a tax would be, if someone voluntarily sends a percentage of the amount being sent as tax.
132  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Which is the best way to promote products or links? on: January 07, 2018, 02:42:38 PM
Referral marketing, also known as word of mouth marketing, is one of the oldest marketing methods around. Referral marketing is all about getting other people to talk about your product in a way that will drive awareness and sales.
133  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people believe in conspiracy theories? on: January 06, 2018, 06:37:27 PM
Some individuals may have a tendency to find such theories attractive. The crux of the matter is that conspiracists are not really sure what the true explanation of an event is—they are simply certain that the “official story” is a cover-up.
134  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Unemployment on: January 06, 2018, 06:29:58 PM
Unemployment is a serious issue. Apart from the social unrest and disgruntlement that unemployment can produce in the electorate, high unemployment can have a self-perpetuating negative impact on businesses and the economic health of the country.
135  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how improve trading on: January 06, 2018, 06:21:49 PM
Each day take one minute before you trade to make sure you are feeling clearheaded, focused and present. Also take a couple seconds to reiterate that you're here to trade, not check your social media accounts, email or watch videos online. When you trade, focus on trading.
136  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to trade without losses on: January 06, 2018, 06:16:10 PM
Losses in trading are inevitable. Incidentally, it's just like in any other situation. However, with simple rules and discipline, you can significantly increase your profits.  It is important to understand how to repeat success and how to avoid repeating mistakes.
137  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to overcome the fear of holding? on: January 06, 2018, 06:09:38 PM
Your job has risks, and driving has risks. You reduce those risks by learning. If a particular stretch of roads attracts cops, you learn to watch your speed on that stretch. Likewise, you can reduce your investing risk significantly by understanding investing fundamentals. It's not cleaning tables, but it's not rocket science either. If millions can do it, you can too.
138  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: January 06, 2018, 05:54:51 PM
I am against gun control 100%. I think those for gun control are missing the real reason behind crimes with a weapon. And that reason is criminals don’t care about laws. You can make all the laws you want and there will still be crime. Proof of this is countries that ban civilians from possessing a firearm and yet people are still being killed by firearms. Japan for example has very restrictive firearm laws yet criminals there still kill people and rob people with firearms.
139  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you want to live? on: January 06, 2018, 02:35:30 PM
For me, I want to live.  I realized I wanted to spend a more meaningful use of my time impacting other people’s lives through helping them figure out their careers. I wanted to build a location independent business so that I can travel and not be stuck in one place. I wanted to always work on cultivating a strong and positive mindset.
140  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we Manipulate Bitcoin price? on: January 06, 2018, 02:27:46 PM
Everything can be manipulated so the bitcoin market will be no exception to that. It is not easy but just notice how the bitcoin price can go up and down when news is released. Investors, companies or whoever can publish fake news to influence the bitcoin market. Good news will increase the price of the bitcoin and negative news (like a country banning or taking measures against bitcoins) will result in a price drop
