Who wants to pay taxes? I mean they are the Devil's money, as someone told me. There never used to be taxes where I live until World War I.
162  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin value factors on: October 11, 2017, 10:55:29 AM
As for the use of bitcoin for criminal purposes then I can assure you it is not. All users of bitcoin in order to buy something often exchange it for Fiat. In fact, illegal transactions take place behind Fiat.

Somehow, somewhere, someone...gets Your CC/CVV. They then sell that information for BTC, and exchange BTC into fiat. A buyer will then use the information to obtain BTC, and then sell it for fiat. BTC is the main in between medium.

Or you have a drug seller, the buyer will obtain BTC, buy the drug using BTC...etc again BTC is the medium of exchange, keeping up the demand, adding to its value?

I am surprised more online banking/credit cards are not stolen.
163  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can Bitcoin help the developing world? on: October 11, 2017, 10:53:33 AM
Well I guarantee you any developing country that invest a lot into Bitcoin now will be very happy they did so in a few years from now. Wink
164  Economy / Economics / Re: How to double your money using BTC? on: October 08, 2017, 06:31:48 PM
Simple. First you need to go to school. Preferably a science-related field. You should be an expert. Work your whole life to build something called a time machine. Cheesy
165  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people scam on: October 08, 2017, 06:29:45 PM
People scam because they have no morals. That simple. No one who has dignity would scam another person and think of themselves as a "winner".
166  Economy / Economics / Re: When is the right time to buy bitcoin ? on: October 06, 2017, 02:35:38 AM
Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now.

Get the point? lmao

I would also say the same about ETH, by the way.
167  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: October 06, 2017, 02:34:57 AM
Bitcoin is more secure than cash. You can't just up and mug someone to steal their Bitcoin, because you still need their password, 2FA, and private keys.
168  Economy / Economics / Re: What should I do ? Your suggestions please. on: October 06, 2017, 02:33:18 AM
If you have 50 ethereum in your wallet and if you bought 260 dollars each. You cant lose money why? Because the price of ethereum as of now is 300 dollars and you earn profit not lose your money. I suggest hold your ethereum because for sure it will increase again the price. Or you can join to the ICO have ethereum investment and for sure it will grow but be careful while investing in ICO.
You are missing the point ETH may be at 300 dollars, but the price in dollars is not important because it is very likely that he bought that ETH with BTC and ETH has been crashing in terms of bitcoin since bitcoin outpaced ETH growth after the hard fork so if the op converts to BTC now he will lose a lot of money in terms of BTC, he needs to hold in the hope ETH goes up once again, that may be possible but it is going to take a lot of time.

+1

I think Ethereum has greater potential than Bitcoin at the moment. It is simply used by so many businesses and relied on by so many that it has to go up. I think this is why Microsoft invested in it. Think about this... back when Microsoft was first growing, they eventually gained a monopoly as everyone was dependent on them. I think ETH is the same sort of thing and it is no coincidence that Microsoft is part of it.
169  Economy / Economics / Re: When will more retailers accept Bitcoin on: October 06, 2017, 02:28:47 AM
Retailers do technically accept Bitcoin, if you use a Bitpay credit card that is. You can load up your account with Bitcoin and spend it anywhere that accepts credit cards.
170  Economy / Economics / Re: Where did you first heard about Bitcoins? on: October 06, 2017, 02:27:24 AM
I think mods should go through the forum and correct titles that are clearly misspelled like this one. It would clean the forum up a lot.
171  Other / Off-topic / Re: Where WOULDN'T you travel? on: October 01, 2017, 10:51:10 PM
I would not travel to Venezuela currently with all of the violence if you go to a poor area (which is most areas). I also would not go to any country where there is a war, as there will be too much chaos.
172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin cannot replace currency in the world because price is not stable on: October 01, 2017, 12:22:00 AM
The more money that flows into Bitcoin, the higher the market cap. The higher the market cap, the more stable the price will be. Simple economics for the win. Smiley
173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you think bitcoin will be wiped out? on: October 01, 2017, 12:21:15 AM
Bitcoin will be wiped out?

These words should never be used ever again in the same sentence. Tongue
174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you consider yourself as experienced traders? on: September 30, 2017, 08:06:48 PM
I would say I am at least mildly experienced. I have done a trade or two in my day. Wink

I think I am figuring out the best way to trade and just patiently waiting to get in when the time is right. Smiley
175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Really A Currency or An Asset? on: September 30, 2017, 08:06:06 PM
Bitcoin is both a currency and an asset. When you own fiat, that is currency, and also an asset and Bitcoin is no different. Tongue
176  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is your vision of a perfect future? on: September 30, 2017, 08:05:05 PM
By that I mean, what is the perfect society, advancements and things that you wish the humanity to be?

In the future there will be technology to change and improve and fix our genes to cure many diseases which today we have zero control over. Smiley
177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATM's on: September 24, 2017, 12:33:01 AM
I can't tell you how many times I have thought about investing in Bitcoin ATMs. It would be cool to have a bunch of them around my city and make passive Bitcoin from it.
178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what situation would Bitcoin die? on: September 24, 2017, 12:19:21 AM
Situations where Bitcoin dies/becomes useless:

1. Governments across the globe ban it for some reason, and block Bitcoin-related websites.
2. The masses do not embrace it (in this case it would eventually fail).
3. Fall of the internet. If the internet goes down or becomes less popular then Bitcoin could fail to gain the traction it needs to reach critical mass (the point where it officially becomes "a thing", which we have not yet reached).
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and crime... on: September 24, 2017, 12:15:50 AM
Bitcoin was first used as a tool for criminals to transact with relative anonymity (especially at the beginning when 99.9% of police departments did not understand the blockchain). Everyone knows this. It still happens to this day though, unfortunately.
180  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin a good way to invest your money ? on: September 23, 2017, 02:12:02 AM
No. Bitcoin is not a good way to invest your money. It is THE BEST WAY to invest your money. Wink
