Back in the days, wars are done so a country can conquer another country. I don't think anything has changed at all. Supposed that country x has won the war against country y, then probably they will have access to country y's resources. Thus, country x will have better economy. Often times, a country goes to war not because they want to show dominance or to conquer a country but rather to defend theirs. Lately, there's not been that much war going on. Unlike back in the days where war is just a usual thing and everyone's spending tons of time preparing for an attack.

Another way is to create a bot that autoclaims from different faucet sites and you can specify the interval time for each website as well. If you don't know how to code and you're going to hire someone to do so, I don't recommend this at all because it will take a while for you before you can ROI for the payment of a coder.

This is recommended when you're at the office and your computer is idle most of the time or you have an extra computer with you that is idle. You don't have to pay at the electricity and at the same time you have stable internet connection. It's not that much money, tbh.

The best way to avoid getting scammed is to think as the scammer himself. If they said it's a "special method", they would probably include some supporting detail like they can't explain it because if they do, they are afraid that people are going to mimic/copy their strategy. Most ponzi sites just say that they invest it on some other company and people don't question them anymore. Having a fake explanation on how you'd generate the income (as a ponzi site) will just lead to people having more questions.

tl;dr: it's better for the investors to not know anything at all since it will only raise questions so ponzi sites they have a complicated method that they cannot share.

That will be some sort of promo. "You get discount on your tax if you use this currency" or whatnot. That's not how the government works. They don't want to reduce tax at all since introducing this type of payment with reduced tax will be a big loss in their part when huge companies start using that payment type. It would be much better to use fiat currency for the government's end where tax will have no discount.

"Easy to obtain" - I don't know what you mean by that. Bitcoin is already easy to obtain. You buy it using your bank account and that's it. Or maybe you meant, it's easy to earn? If so, that will devaluate fiat since people are going to do work for that cryptocurrency since it's easier to earn from that. It will also reduce the amount of workers that get paid in fiat (which ultimately leads to the economy going down but it still depends on what work does the new currency has to offer).

The altcoin of the government will just be an additional dump coin in the future (just like deisik said).

Patience is not the problem here, it's timing. Everyone can be patient, everyone can wait for months before making a move on his bitcoin investments. The problem here is identifying when is the price actually a low price and when is it a high price. You can't simply base these things on the previous price because it can still move further.

For example, it's $1200 today and the price goes to $1300 the next day. You sell your coins at that time because it's "high" and then the next day, the price went to $1400. There's no way that you can know if the price is already a good time to buy/sell unless you're an experienced trader and you know all of the latest updates.

Even in poor countries, people still have bank accounts. Not every single one of them gets paid in cash especially those people that work for the government (i.e. Teachers, Government office employees). They all get paid through their bank accounts. Besides, there's no fee when you're going to open a bank account. You only need to verify your identity by submitting one or two valid IDs.



It doesn't necessarily require a genius to do so, only a powerful machine. Even if some guy finds an algorithm to crack SHA-256, it will still require a lot of computing power.

Actually, the reason why the government don't focus on their individual that much is because if they were to ask every single one, 1. it's time consuming, 2. (and the main point) There would have tons of different opinions. Everyone wants different things. There's not much things in this world where every single one has agreed upon. Everyone has different ways of perceiving something because we all have different experience in life.

It would be better to just consult a professional when it comes to make the economy of a country better because they base it on facts (based on studies) and not just opinions.

Please check what you are promoting. SpectroCoin unresolved scam accusation

If you're gonna ask why it has a red asterisk even when it's just an unresolved scam accusation and there's no problem in the campaign itself, take your time to backread on the separate thread of this thread in the Archival section. It's the same "Betcoin.ag got red asterisk" story again and again.

That's partially incorrect. When he hold our bitcoins, we increase bitcoin's volatility. It's not necessarily that the price will go up. It will just require less money to pump the price of bitcoins. On the other hand, since that has increased bitcoin's volatility. It will also require less money to dump the price of bitcoins. The actual way to make the price of bitcoin to go up is to buy more bitcoins, not hold it.

Additionally, the effect of your action will depend on how many coins do you have. Supposed that I went all in and sold all of my 1BTC, that doesn't have an effect to the market at all although it has a huge effect on me since that's all I have.

It's not necessarily altcoin = profit in short amount of time; bitcoin = profit in long time. It all depends on your timing. You can invest in altcoin and still don't get any profit at all after a couple of months of waiting because the coin is either already dead or don't have any user at all. Bitcoin, on the other hand, can also give you profit in short time when you invested at the right time.

The current price of bitcoin is high but I don't think the price will ever go back to less than $900. We've been here for a while now and if you don't invest at this price, you might regret it later.

No, it doesn't. And the proof for that is that we have changed from gold standard to fiat. Fiat was backed by gold back then but it came to the point that it isn't anymore. The whole has become fake. Its value is not real at all, we are the only ones that give value to it. Anyone that has learned the past of the fiat currency knows this.

We didn't stick to gold simply because it's a lot of work when having gold with you all the time. Imagine having kilos of gold bars with you. Now, we have debit cards that can have millions in it.

The gold is the old world's currency. Only way that we'll go back to that point is when there's a war that vanished all of the technological research that we made.

Yahoo is indeed earning much more than 0.1BTC. On the other hand, not everyone of us can do what he's doing. And even if you can manage a signature campaign the way he do, it doesn't mean that you'll have the same amount of job offers as he has. You have to build your reputation first and Yahoo is already in the DT network (Default Trust). It's really hard to get there. Yahoo is also now at Legendary rank. People will go to him first especially those that can afford his service. Those that have really low fund allotted for signature campaign will go to Avirunes, DarkStar_, Decoded, etc. There's a lot of people that comes before you in the choices.

It will be better if you look for another job instead of forcing yourself in the signature manager role.

Take online gambling as an example. A lot of countries don't allow younger people to gamble and some prohibit online gambling. Have you seen anyone that got to jail because of that? I've never seen one. It's because it's online, it's hard to trace people especially if your government don't have a big cyber army.

People wouldn't just stop using bitcoin because the government said so. Once people stop mining, or at least the major miners, people will start mining at their homes since it's their chance to shine. That makes bitcoin even more decentralized.

It's pretty ironic that you bash something that you're doing. It's a hypocrite's act. He's in secondstrade signature campaign which pays really really low compared to most signature campaigns. I bet that he's one of the kids from third world countries that he's talking about and he stick to secondstrade because he can't get accepted on any other signature campaign.

I don't even think he's from a first world country, because if he is, he wouldn't be wasting his time doing signature campaign on secondstrade. AFAIK, secondstrade is the lowest paying signature campaign here.

Those are ways to earn bitcoin but those aren't passive income. Signature campaign requires you to be active in this forum and post stuffs. The only way signature campaign is a passive income is when you're maintaining a thread (i.e. buy and sell thread), and you still get paid for those little posts. Otherwise, it's not a passive income. Buying and selling isn't passive income as well since you have to advertise, talk to people, and have a deal. Only time buying and selling is a passive income is when you're using a bot to both buy and sell which is quite hard to do for the buy part.

[1] The whales, of course. You will not let your investment die if you can defend it, right? If you put a huge buy order at around $1000, it would be hard for the dumpers to get past that price. Even if they do, they wouldn't have that much coin left to dump even harder.

[2] Bitcoin becoming centralized, not anonymous, etc. Just think of the opposite of one of the major benefits that you get from bitcoins.

[3] Everyone's waiting for that "new coin" that will kill bitcoins. In fact, there have been a lot of coins that have much better use than bitcoin, faster transactions too. But it doesn't kill bitcoin at all since bitcoin has all the attention, and we all know that the hype about the coin is what makes it strong.

[4] World war 3 or some calamity/disaster.

It's alarming how people are so unaware of the "invisible hand" (term came from Mr. Robot, the tv series). You work so you'd get money, yes? You get money so you can finally get that good life that you've been longing all your life. But, since the government wouldn't allow you to get a lot of money from tons of hard work, you can never get a good life. After years of working and proving to your boss that you're worthy of promotion, you'd work and work and work until you die because that's just how it is. You finally get the life that you want but you're very busy on working to maintain the lifestyle that you don't even get to actually live.

I save it only for future purposes. There's no need for me to save bitcoins for fun. I take this thing seriously. Money is a serious thing since we need it in order to live a good life in this world. Saving bitcoins for fun can only be achieved if you have much more money than the amount of bitcoins that you've been saving.

I believe that the price of bitcoin will someday skyrocket. Maybe not like in an instant but slowly. The news and updates about bitcoin will be the one that indicate if that process will be shorter or longer. Plus, I have a whole life ahead of me so saving all the bitcoins that I've been earning will be a key for me accelerating in the career that I will be pursuing.

Most of the first people that bought bitcoins, obviously. If we weed out those people that bought bitcoins because somebody close to them is highly recommending it that it's almost as if they were forced to buy bitcoins, what will be remaining are the true investors. Those true investors are either very lucky people that have stumbled upon a good article about bitcoins and believed in it right away or people that knew what was going on. It's not like the existence of bitcoin was kept secret. If you were already a trader at that time, you'd know about bitcoins since somebody in your circle of friends surely had the time to look at the incoming trends.

So yeah, those people believed in bitcoins and some of them are probably still holding tons of bitcoins. It didn't cost that much back then so holding tons of bitcoins isn't that big of a deal.

That's just being not open to other people's opinion. "No matter what... bitcoin will still be money." I think bitcoin is more of a commodity than money. If bitcoin is used solely as money (since that's what we do with money), I don't think the price of bitcoin will be the same. Most of us are here because we think that bitcoin is a good way to invest our money. It's a commodity in a way that people bought it because of its value not because of its usability. Its usability is not that much as of now since it's not yet widely accepted.

Maybe time will come when bitcoins can finally be the currency that it is. When everyone's using it already and everyone's accepting it.
