Bitcoin is anonymous, but fiat is not so. How can you purchase Bitcoins 100% anonymously? You need to provide fiat cash payment in order to receive Bitcoins in your account. If you are making the payment using your bank account or credit card, then the transaction can be easily traced back to you. One option is to use someone else's bank account.

Despite all the legal difficulties, I still believe that China is the best place to set up a mining farm. Because mining rigs are still much cheaper in China when compared to the other nations. On top of that electricity is also reasonably priced in China. It won't be a bad idea to set up a farm somewhere in Japan, but the capital costs are going to be huge.

Muslims kill anyone who doesn't believe in their religion, and then justify the killings saying that doing so is permitted in the holy Quran and the hadiths. And their hatred is not just directed against the Christians. They are killing the Jews in Israel, Hindus in India and Indonesia, Buddhists in Thailand and Sri Lanka and Yazidis in Syria and Iraq.

In my opinion, the middle east is the shit-hole of the earth. We should avoid that region by any means possible. I couldn't find a single factor, which could get me attracted to that place. The weather is horrible, the people are unfriendly and even the wildlife is lacking the diversity. Israel is the only country in the middle east which I would ever consider visiting.

That's true. When I was a student, I used to wear the uniform and I never complained about it. Still there were special occasions (twice or thrice a year), when we were permitted to wear whatever we want. But as you said, even during such rare occasions, the class divide became quite prominent. The poor kids could not afford good clothes and I could notice their lack of confidence and sadness.

I don't have problem with Christians such as you, who respect others beliefs. But a lot of Christians have irritated me with their arrogant behavior. They have mocked my religion, saying that I am worshiping snakes and monkeys. They have even threatened me that I would go to hell after my death, if I refuse to become a Christian.

I have a few friends who happens to be Christians. They have told me that they donate 20% of their wages to the church, and that money is going for charity purposes. I disagreed with them and told them that most of that money will be used to construct new churches and seminaries. Religion has become an organized business today. If you want to donate money to charity, then never give that amount to the religious bodies.

If this news is true, then I think that it will be hugely beneficial not just to the Belorussians, but also for the neighboring people such as the Poles, Russians, Lithuanians and Ukrainians. See what happened after Japan legalized the crypto-currencies. A number of new ventures were created there, resulting in more jobs and tax revenue.

Up to a reasonable limit, I would not consider taxation as a major irritant. For example, in Russia the income tax level is 13%. This is a level, which I feel comfortable. On the other hand, here in India the income tax rates are 31%, and on top of that we have to pay for the Goods and Service Tax (GST, which can range from 5% to 28%).

You must be a brainwashed Turk who worships that dictator called Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He is resonsible for massacres and human rights violeations not just in Turkey, but also in neighboring nations such as Iraq and Syria. The warmonger is currently preparing for an invasion of the Afrin county in Northwest Syria. And still there are guys here who calls him a kind-hearted person!

Chemical castration is not very effective all the time, and the drugs used for that can create unwanted side-effects for the individual. That is why I prefer physical castration to chemical castration. Physical castration is 100% effective, and as far as I know it doesn't cause any life-threatening health conditions to the individual on whom it is administered.

I completely disagree with your post. I will give you a very simple example. You can compare between China and India. During the past 2-3 decades, China has achieved enormous amount of economic growth, although the country is run by a dictatorship. On the other hand, India has lagged behind, despite being the largest democracy in the world.

If Bitcoin becomes a legal currency, then the other fiat currencies such as the Japanese Yen, United States Dollar, Russian Ruble.etc will die as slow death. This is due to the fact that Bitcoin is protected from inflation (due to the principle of controlled supply), while the fiat currencies are prone to inflation. So why should anyone use a currency which is not protected against inflation, when he has the choice of using BTC?

Whether rich or not, we need to fulfill our social responsibility. But being socially responsible doesn't mean that we need to provide handouts of money to the poor people. For me, being socially responsible means paying the taxes on time, refraining from any type of criminal activity and obeying the rules and regulations wherever I live.

In that case, you would need to change 99% of the governments around the world. Just admit it, most of the governments want to enslave their citizens through the banks. Bitcoin provides an opportunity for these citizens to escape from the clutches of bankster slavery. If Bitcoins become popular, then the banks will lose their power. And if that happens, the governments will lose control over their citizens.

You are not paying any tax when you convert your coins to fiat cash. The exchange may be paying a part of the fees as tax, but you are not paying tax at that point of time. The tax needs to be paid later, after finding out whether the profits from such a trade is classified as ordinary income or as capital gains. If it is possible to classify the income as long-term capital gains, then you will be able to escape with a lower tax rate.

It is not possible for the governments to ban the possession of Bitcoin, since it is decentralized. But the governments can harass the Bitcoin users, in the form of income tax notices and closure of exchanges where crypto-currencies can be traded. These measures are effective only up to a certain limit, as the Bitcoin users are a resilient lot and usually adjusts to the new settings in a short period of time.

That is not always the case. I am living in India, and in many of the states the voice of the minority is suppressed as a result of the combined voting strength of the majority. For example, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the Muslims are using their population power to completely sideline the minority Hindu and Buddhist populations. The same thing is happening in the Christian majority states, such as Kerala, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya.

Legal protection and recognition can be granted if the homosexual couples behave like the heterosexual couples. But that is not the case. In normal cases, homosexual couples are not loyal or faithful to each other. They will be having sex with multiple partners, although they are in a relationship. I am not saying that adultery is not present in heterosexual relationships. But it is more of a rarity, rather than a norm.

This is all rubbish. There is nothing wrong with having sex, if the couple is serious about their relationship. In fact, I would advice them to delay their marriage for 5-6 years, to find out whether they are really compatible to each other. And it will be foolish to abstain from sex during this period, as humans are expected to indulge in sex during the 20s. If you wait until the 30s to have sex, then by that time your libido will be gone.
