My least favorite think about Bitcoin is, that its not accepted anywhere yet.
Anywhere??? By saying that, do you mean that it's not accepted at your local places or do you mean to say that it ain't accepted anywhere globally??? There are many giants like Dell, Overstock, etc. accepting Bitcoins as their secondary way of accepting payments... I agree, Bitcoin is accepted in many places already and even if it's not fully accepted in other places there still ways to pay with it.

Trump follows good investments, if Bitcoin is the frontrunner of the economy Trump will follow. This is just my opinion, i have no data to back this up.
Most likely you are right. Maybe "he has no heart" like some of his opponents say, but he definitely knows what is worth investing in. So I think he would support Bitcoin in case he's elected, but I don't think he will be elected. |

I would prefer to go with gold at a moment, as I am a user of gold since many years, and gold have gave me good returns in the past and it will continue to do it in future too.
This I can't understand. In July 2011 the price of 1 kg of gold was $60,000 and today it's $40,000. Though I know that in 2000 the price of 1 kg was around $10,000 and if you bought a lot of gold at the time you are in profit now, I don't think it would be rightful to claim that investing in gold is always safe. |

My aim is to have 2.1 BTC in the end of this year or maybe earlier. So I'll be in your words in "10 million club" which is not so bad IMO. If I had 1/10,000,000 of all the money in the world I would consider myself rich.

Why do people even need to talk about god in 21 century?
We just need to apply most of good things from every religion..
Don't kill, don't steal..
The thing is there is no country in 21st century where the government follow the "Don't kill, don't steal" rules. Looks like a pretty simple rule but as it turned out impossible to follow. That's why people are trying to figure out whether the God exists and what does he want from people. IMO of course. |

This thread is awsome. I just looked here and there and now I'm going to read it more carefully.
As for me, I don't think that scientists have proved that God exists but I don't think anyone can really prove the opposite. That's why IMO atheists and religious people shouldn't be 100% sure about their views.

no i can not say that it is wrong as people should do whatever they want with their money though you will always lose
Yes people should do whatever they want with their money, but sometimes it's not exactly their money. If someone has a family it's also his family's money. Even if you are not a father with wife and kids, but just a man who lives with his parents you better buy soething for them instead of gambling everything out. |

How safe is it?
Out of curiosity, I checked the price of BTC on the day of writing this post - October 9, 2015 = $244Investing in Bitcoin is still not safe, but let this difference will answer for itself..  $376- $244 = $132That's a good one! Actually we might have even much better price now if some stupid things about Bitcoin were not posted in the media. But more than 50% increase is not bad too. I'd say from now on Bitcoin will increase in value %0% per year as minimum. Could be a typo there, not sure if you mean 50% instead of %0%. It could increase such amount but not sure until when as you know there are altcoins out there who are going strong. Sorry, of course it was a typo. I meant 50%. And I don't think that altcoins however strong they were might impact on the price of Bitcoin in a bad way. Only if something much better than Bitcoin would appear in the world of cryptocurrencies than Bitcoin might suffer, but I doubt it will happen in the near future. |

My grandfather died in soviet gulag camp. I hate communism and soviet system!
He was who? Put pleas more info. I think the exact names aren't so important to provide. It is a fact that many people died in Gulag: "Mortality in Gulag camps in 1934–40 was 4–6 times higher than average in Russia. The estimated total number of those who died in imprisonment in 1930–53 is at least 1.76 million". Read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag |

Hi Guys, since the day I have entered in to the world of crypto currencies, I was shocked to see the numbers of available currencies.
According to Coinmarketcap website, we now have 674 crypto currencies of various types which is more than the numbers of fiat.
Every now and then I am seeing a new currency is being introduced. I think this way we are harming the security of crypto currency sector. If this continues, government will have to intervene someday just to stop the free distribution of money (power) in to the society.
Also I see that the total crypto currency market size is 6,823,585,068 usd as per the above mentioned website and this huge amount of money is getting divided among these 674 currencies. The more people are moving to newer currencies, the lesser amount of money is getting circulated in to the established crypto currency trading, which in turn is decreasing the price of those currencies.
I think around 10-12 currencies are better that having 674 different currencies and it will not threaten the existence of crypto currency world.
What do you guys think?
I agree with you. I think nobody needs 674 different currencies. The good news is that actually most of the introduced currencies don't last long so we have not that many. Also I think if someone wants to make a new crypto there's nothing wrong with that, it's like making funny fake "money" for a party. |

Gambling is fun and as we all know fun is never safe. Fasting is pretty safe. But is it any fun? No.
Basically if you want to be safe and have fun at the same time, there is a simple rule: do not overdo it.

I am a big fan of the Oscars and I am watching almost every nominated film for years.
Here's my prediction:
Best Picture - Spotlight
Best Director - Adam McKay – The Big Short
Best Actor - Leonardo DiCaprio – The Revenant as Hugh Glass
Best Actress - Charlotte Rampling – 45 Years as Kate Mercer
Hope this will help somebody to win. )

I had a freind, it was long time ago, he was playing Roulette in real casinos. He would spend hours jast staying their and watching, watching and counting, remembering numbers. Then when for example there were no red several times he would bet on red and in case of losing he would double his bet, on the red again. If there were no odd numbers, then he would apply same strategy to odd numbers etc. He was in big profit, several thousand dollars, after several months of playing like that. ... He lost everything eventually, not only what he had won, but much more than that.

Yes, but we are not sure how much bitcoins will take care of us at the time or retirement, even 1 btc would be sufficient or even 500 btc would not be sufficient, as we don't know what value bitcoin will hold in future.
Then why relying on bitcoin for your retirement support. Don't wait for the skyrocket price to cover your retirement. Make a savings today to support your future. Bitcoin is there to give you "much more" opportunity to earn you more money in the future aside from your retirement savings. I wouldn't reccommend anyone to invest all his/her retirement savings in Bitcoin, but, answering to OP's question, it's definitely good to buy 1 BTC today. Most likely it won't make you rich, but it's an opportunity to multiply your investment tenfold or even more than that. |

In some places, the punishment for a less-than-clean house is a dirty jail cell. A husband from the Lazio region of Italy is taking his wife to court this week, alleging that she does not perform enough housework. Her failure to clean has led to "mistreatment of the family," reports Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano. SEE ALSO: Firefighters help woman out of her chastity belt after she loses the key As a result, he and his family have been "forced to live in conditions with poor hygiene" for the past two years. He argues that food, which could have been used, has gone to waste. The husband himself has even been kicked out of his own bedroom, and feels "insulted." While 'failure to complete housework' is not a crime in Italy, negligence is. If convicted, she could spend anywhere from two to six years in jail. The 40-year-old woman goes on trial Oct. 12. In March of 2014, a campaign was launched to provide housewives with a government-funded salary, but the measure did not pass. It is unclear why, exactly, the husband couldn't perform the chores himself. TOPICS: CONVERSATIONS, DOMESTIC, ITALY, WATERCOOLER, WEIRD NEWS http://mashable.com/2016/02/04/housewife-jail/#B8fxqulMxSq4At first I thought "What the F***!, doesn't he know what a wife really for?" And then I saw "has even been kicked out of his own bedroom" and that explains everything. She shouldn't have done that. I don't mean not performing housework, I mean kicking him out of the bedroom. ) |

First of I don't think he'll win the elections, but let's imagine he wiil. Then that depends not on him because I think he has no idea what Bitcoin is but rather on some people from his team and those people might be quite smart because he can afford to hire smart people.

I think its best to invest now and cash out later.
Also if you long term invest your bitcoin will rise at the end.
I think its good to invest because the price is low and the future is good.
I agree with this. Some people think that today's price which is around $385 is not low enough to start buying. But I bet same people were saying that the price isn't low enough when it was $240 not so long ago. Don't listen to them and start buying now. If it's a long term investment you'll definitely profit from it. |

THe world economy depends to much on that from the VS. The dept is really high but so far that was never a problem to just press more money.
But do you think it should continue this way ? The US has been printing *a lot* of money the last few years. They are trying to export little by little their debt to the world. A lot of people are noticing this more and more, if they think it's not profitable anymore (or that holding US dollars is too expensive [because if loses value every year]) the US dollar could crash really fast. Bah, just got to print a USD2 with this simple calculation that USD2 = 10000000 USD. Then you print a bit of money and it all goes smooth xD Ammm, not really. Remember Zimbabwe when they printed their trillions notes. That didn't help them much.  IMO USA is very far from this point actually. They don't print dollars without thinking about how much exactly they should print, that's why the inflation is not as big as in some other countries. |
