I understand the frustration of OP that it is now not possible to buy bitcoin at this price. But regret the past is stupid. You better think about that in that time people sold a few bitcoins and earning them was a few dollars. This year, those who had 1 bitcoin in the beginning of the year and sold it today earned $ 5,000. I think that people from the past would be you.

Lol if you look at the trading platform, buying bitcoin is very active.  This only means that it is still possible to buy bitcoin, probably not a whole but a part of bitcoin is still bitcoin.  And it is still not late.  Bitcoin is still at the early stage of adoption.  Merchants have not yet fully settled on accepting bitcoin as their payment, just you wait until this merchants have come to the scene and tell yourself if its still late to buy bitcoin today or not.

Please do not be racist, there is no where in that message that confirms the location of the sender.

It is well known that these scams emanate from countries all over the world like; Russia, Greece, Indonesia to name a few.

Calling this a Nigerian scam is quite pathetic and racist so I have reported your post

I agree, even in Philippines scammer are shifting from forex to cryptocurrency trading disguise.  Scammers are everywhere, its that some place were too much exploited because of lack of knowledge but if you look at the profile of these scammers, they came from different country and mostly from developed country since they know the weak spot of these poor people.
1263  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible? on: October 30, 2017, 05:15:04 PM
This can happen, but it takes a long time, because to realize all it takes the process and government involvement, currently Bitcoin is still a debate in the governments of countries that are worried about the existence of Bitcoin.

It won't happen.  One of the biggest obstacle would be Bitcoin being decentralized.  If you check the current news about countries and Bitcoin, most country that recognized Bitcoin as currency or mode of payment already run into trouble of regulating it.  They (government) need to centralized the authority or else things will get out of the governments hand and that is what the government does not want to happen.  I believe the technology will be adopted but bitcoin will always be use as an alternative.
1264  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why bitcoin so expensive? on: October 30, 2017, 04:59:45 PM
I think this is due to the supply and demand.  Since lots of us are hoarding Bitcoin, the supply just gotten thinner and the people who are wanting to buy Bitcoin is getting bigger in number.  This is the reason why bitcoin price is expensive.  The law of supply and demand commands the Bitcoin price.
1265  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Still Go Up? on: October 22, 2017, 12:45:19 PM
Definitely Bitcoin still can go up.  Market is still young and if you look at the area Bitcoin saturated, it is quite small compare to other big company.  So I believe Bitcoin will still go up and can even multiply in price and area saturation level.  We just need to wait and see how it happen.
1266  Economy / Economics / Re: Does this mean Cash will be extinct? on: October 22, 2017, 12:04:08 PM
Every country have their own policy to control their transaction. If they close cash/fiat transaction so it means that they all doing digital transaction or transaction with online based platform which faster or may cheaper than fiat.

But in other side, it have disadvantage if their internet got disturb etc.

Like you said if all fiat currency replaced by digital currency the transaction will be choked if there is problem in the internet.So fiat currency never replaced by digital currency there appears to be no evidence that cash will become obsolete any time in the foreseeable future.The small retailers can't afford the fee for digital transaction.
When was the last time the internet went down everywhere? (Hint: Never)

It might go down in some place but worldwide probably not, though remember, once there is an internet shutdown  a lost always occur.  Anyway, I also agree that Cash will be extinct in the future, digital currency will be the one used worldwide just like how cash make barter obsolete the same way digital currency will make cash obsolete.
1267  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin regaining dominance. on: October 22, 2017, 11:45:29 AM
Apart from reaching a new ATH, bitcoin is also regaining dominance vs other alts. It was halved between March and June and bitcoin has been slowly regaining it but lately seems to have received a boost.



Source: (https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage)

Any ideas about why this is happening?


IT might be because that people are now starting to believe in bitcoin in a way that it is becoming more palatable than other cryptocurrencies just because of its longevity and that it is still higher than some of the other currencies. It might also be that the influence and popularity of bitcoin is spreading.

I think the hype of the fork is coming into effect.  The news about Bitcoin Gold and the value or profit that a bitcoin holder can take once fork is done.  Probably greed is driving Bitcoin market upward since more bitcoin means more coins on the forked chain which means a profit for them.
1268  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is an asset or currency. on: October 22, 2017, 11:32:06 AM
Bitcoins is a medium of exchange, hence an asset. Bitcoins is also an asset because it appreciate and depreciate in value. I treat it as asset and forms part of major portion of my investment portfolio.

It is made as a currency and a good store of value that made it an asset.  I think Bitcoin will always be this two, currency and asset since it gives holders profit and way to pay services and goods. 

In my opinion Bitcoin as per it's relevance in the market over the years is acting as a currency but it is an asset for millions of people.

Bitcoin is both an asset and a currency depends on the definition of both terms, bitcoin meets them both.
1269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin may not be number one for long on: October 22, 2017, 11:05:37 AM
Etherium is one of the famous Altcoins and the price is beginning to rise, but To me no, Bitcoin will always be the number one Crypto currency,
because this is the first Crypto currency and has been increasing and proven over the past few years,
Bitcoin prices are increasing and are still the number one of all Crypto currencies,

And I think nothing can get beyond that,


there is the possibility that it will happen and take a lot of time before other Crypto-crypto (Altcoin) goes beyond Bitcoin.
There are many better competitors - but they are not successful and well known.




I do not think so, remember the only permanent in this world is change, definitely Bitcoin will be number one for a very long time but I am sure one day, some alternate coin will overtake it and will become the main cryptocurrency.  When and where is still yet to know, we might witness this thing to happen or we may not but it will eventually happen.
1270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use Social Media for Bitcoin on: October 22, 2017, 10:02:04 AM
Its great idea. We dont know the power of social network, its more than we expect.
Actually, there are many people have done this way for any reason. Now we just continue doing it.


It actually proven and known that social media network is powerful.  It can reach out the entire globe in a matter of minute that is why most company are tapping Social Media to endorse or promote their products.  And I think bitcoin is actually making the best out of social media marketing.
1271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best investing with bitcoin on: October 19, 2017, 08:41:55 PM
Right now bitcoin is the best investment for 2-5 years. The price is still low as lots of countries and population yet to adopt Bitcoin.

I agree and if we want to earn more we can add more years to the waiting time.  I think 10 years is a good length of time to wait and eventually sell bitcoin at higher price.  Probably it will be 10x or more of the capital when we bought Bitcoin.  Though I do not believe that Bitcoin will reach 1 million dollar, I believe that it can reach 50k dollar a piece in due time.
1272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are so many people against bitcoin? on: October 19, 2017, 05:38:18 PM
People are against it because they really do not know what Bitcoin is.  Aside from that most of these people are just pretending to be knowledgeable which in fact they do not know anything at all.  It is sad to think that those who really do not know what Bitcoin is , are the one who actually too vocal about hating it.  Funny isn't it?
1273  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: crypto Currency is making people millionaires all over the world on: October 16, 2017, 04:59:31 PM
I do not think that cryptocurrency is making people millionaire all over the world.  Remember  there is only a change of hand in terms of currency, so when someone get richer, another one get poorer.  That is the truth.  Cryptocurrency might make you a millionaire but there is someone who will become poorer, it is always balance.
1274  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoins - skyrocketing demands in Asia on: October 11, 2017, 08:46:56 PM
bitcoins - skyrocketing demands in Asia, it is true........So, what are the reasons behind this?

The mind set of being rich quickly if they buy Bitcoin.  The statement of people that Bitcoin will be $100k to $1million in 5 to 10 years made an impact to make people think that Bitcoin is the easiest way to get rich, just buy, hold and then sell when price hit the $100k mark.  There is also an active marketing program in Asia and that too helped so much.
1275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Any experienced traders here? what're the best tips you can give to newbies? on: October 11, 2017, 08:26:23 PM
Read read read and read.  You must keep yourself well informed, research and don't get too excited.  Try to look at both end, and weigh them.  Aside from that, you should learn the basic of trading and start with little capital.  Do not listen to any FUD without doing your own research.  Buy when everyone is panic selling and sell when everyone is FOMO-ing.
1276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as in Freedom on: October 11, 2017, 01:10:31 AM
That's why I always will believe in bitcoin. Even if the governments will dissalow it, there will still be a rebelling group trying to hold it up.

Yes I believe too, having its characteristic of being decentralized it is the only way for us to be free in government, means they are not allowed to take control in bitcoin since it is written over its system, I dont think making bitcoin centralized will help us, it will be a burden of every forum user her to gain if are about to think for its change. Bitcoin is freedom in the sense that it allow us to have the peofit we deserve without going into several steps unlike what governments usually do.

Freedom? Just like anonymous, Bitcoin cannot be adopted worldwide without government regulation.  Remember no matter how decentralized the cryptocurrency is when the government requires them to be regulated, they will be regulated.  Bitcoin maybe independent but once it enters certain jurisdiction, it must comply to the government policy in order for it to be used there freely.  Freedom in Bitcoin is just like its anonymity, it is partial and must meet government rules and restriction, maybe adaptive but not really a full freedom because there is an authority above it to either restrict it or allow it.
1277  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin can hit 5000$ before november?? on: October 10, 2017, 08:46:32 AM
I also think Bitcoin will reach $5000 before november.  Look at the current price, it goes up really quick from last week.  Just some more push then Bitcoin will be in $5000.  I think this is due to the upcoming fork and some huge company adoption.  People will buy Bitcoin because they are thinking stuff that happen last August where those who hold more Bitcoin got more coin on the minor chain.  If that happen, they will have an additional profit aside from the Bitcoin chain itself.
1278  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $4000 the perfect time to buy on: October 10, 2017, 06:44:18 AM
If you managed to buy at $4000 then you are quite in a profit now.  Current price is almost $5000 and I think it will increase in the coming day as the fork is getting nearer.   Speculative investors are thinking of getting profit from the minor chain coins when it hits the market so I think it is still good to buy at this current price.
1279  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price is increasing AGAIN on: October 10, 2017, 05:59:58 AM
Does anyone have any thoughts of what the price will be at the end of the year? 
I am thinking about investing in 2 BTC, which is a big investment for me.

Thanks

Honestly no one know what price would it be but just speculate.  If you are in for a short term then better watch the market, I would suggest to hodl Bitcoin for another 5 years to see how much your investment grow.  The current price is driven by the upcoming fork.  People are buying to get extra bonus from the coin in the minor chain once i t hits the market.
1280  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN DOWN OR HIGH ????? on: October 10, 2017, 05:03:59 AM
Currently Bitcoin is running bullish, we have seen an increase in its price today.  I hope this is not a bulltrap where bulls are slaughtered at the end of the road.  It is obvious that people are rushing to have Bitcoin before the fork for the possible extra income brought by the coin in the minor chain once fork happened.
