Bitcoin is not going to replace fiat for most people but without a doubt there may be some bitcoin users out there that are not using fiat anymore and are only using bitcoin right now.

I don't think that it is possible only to use bitcoins as to take care of our expenses in real world we need fiat and bitcoin cannot be used anywhere for buying anything so in that case we have convert our bitcoins to fiat currency so that we can use them for shopping.

I agree with Barts, there are people I guess too that aren't using fiat anymore but instead using bitcoin for paying everything they need, expenses for bills and shopping online with the use of bitcoin and with the help of exchange that they are using. But it doesn't mean that it will replace fiat generally, it is only applicable for them.

But there are very few people who are aware about the bitcoins yet and those who are using bitcoins will also prefer to use credit or debit card for shopping or fiat as their main intention is to save their bitcoins for the future without spending them at a moment.

We are pointing out those people that are already into using of bitcoin completely, there will be users that are going to keep on using credit and debit card or even fiat for buying things that they need. And it's a normal thing that most of us are keep on holding our bitcoins for the hope that this is going to give us good future.

Bitcoin always related to online transaction, so you can sell something that can easily sell at online. I recommend steam wallet code, skype code and many else code that can easily sell at online. I think food is not good for online, but if your plan to make a real life shop, it might be good, it's depend on your shop location too.h

Your suggestion is good, it is seasonal, since there are a lot of steam players that are spread throughout the forum. You can sell codes from them and credits from any popular site. That will make you a discount seller but you need to have a very good connection from the company that you want to sell their services for free.
16863  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: how can i buy a website design for bitcoin site on: April 13, 2017, 08:16:50 AM
Hi,

Please any one here can help me for buying this website design

like this site : http://btcclicks.com

from where can i buy one like this site or another design not important but the same idea.

i want to but it on my site here: www.surfbitcoin.net
i but another faucet here : www.surfbitcoin.net/surf
but i want this web design for home page
if someone have another idea and need to help me, please tell me.

thanks for help

The best way so far for me to suggest is to post this at the service section. Look for a person/developer that you can be your very own developer for your desire to have your very own website or if that isn't sufficient just hire a developer that can do both, web/graphic designer and as well as programmer so that your money will be worth it.
16864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I can't use bitcoin buying a coffee now. on: April 13, 2017, 08:07:05 AM
I used to buy a coffee from time to time with bitcoin.
But I can't use bitcoin buying a coffee now, because the fee is so high, if I keep 0.0001 fee like before, it would take days for the transaction to get confirmed, I've got a transaction which took 11 days to get the 1st confirmation last month.  
It's not cost-effective any more to buy (I mean both online and buying face to face) thing via bitcoin. And this is why I quit buy coffee with bitcoin.

Just because of the fee you are going to stop your hobby of buying a coffee? It's very simple, forget about the confirmation and just because you consider it so high? Don't sacrifice your hobby because of the fee. Just adjust and simply pay the right fee for the confirmation and also use the transaction accelerator which is popular now.

You want to know how to control greed? Then it's very simple don't expect to win more and don't be greedy enough. When you win some amount already, accept it and don't ask for more. Because if you aren't going to be satisfied with the amount that you win, you will fall into addiction and you will be greedy for it.
16866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin 20 Years From Now on: April 13, 2017, 07:10:34 AM
I think will replace credit cards and gold.
If bitcoin replace credit card is very possible but gold would be impossible, if the bitcoin can last up to 20 years, the price can reach $100.000 or and users will reach more than 25% of the world's population.
Yes true, credit card can be replaced but gold not may be replaced, but I'm pessimistic bitcoin can survive up to 20 years again, currently many issues unresolved most notably is anonymous so as to make the State bans.

I don't see a chance that bitcoin will replace the market of gold or even gold itself. But with credit cards, a chance of replacing it as bitcoin debit/credit card is there. And I guess a lot of people are already into this crypto currency by that time and the government instead of banning it, they will allow it and even support it because they can't stop it.
16867  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: April 13, 2017, 06:52:37 AM
Bitcoin is not that powerful yet that it can make banks disappear which are the biggest financial institutions we have and also banks holds support from the Government so Government will never allow bitcoin to replace the banking system.

It is not powerful then it can make the banks disappear? What are you trying to say? Let's say that bitcoin is not that powerful so it won't make the banks disappear. The government of a country is not going to agree if ever there's a threat of making the banks disappearing, because it is a very important body of a country.

That's correct Government will never support bitcoins as it can be threat to their national currency and no Government will be interested in seeing that any digital currency replacing its major currency and if that happens then Government will loose all their control from the money.

Don't say that government will "never" support bitcoin, there will be some exceptions that there would be time that they are going to support. But when it comes to threat of the whole nation, they are not going to show mercy on bitcoin. And I really can't see a chance that bitcoin will ever have the chance to replace banks in the circulation.

In the end, we figure out that gambling is very addictive because it's a normal characteristic of it. On how the game works, on how it is giving excitement, chance of winning and everything about it. And it is our weakness, it's our nature to get into money and thinking about on how we are going to earn and we think that gambling will be the solution.
I agree with that. Humans tend to always want to have something of a benefit that's going to be for the betterment of our own. It's just that we are sometimes selfish or all the time. It's not healthy to be like that because someday it might bite you in the ass in the future.

We also want to earn fast money and we think that gambling will be the solution of it. While we understand the risk that we are taking when gamble but still it makes us addicted because we have a goal for it. Not knowing because of that aim, we are walking in the path of wrongness.

Everyone knows that they will loose their money in gambling but everyone hopes that luck will favor them some day and may be today is that day and they keep on gambling continuosly and sometimes even they don't know when they got addicted to gambling.

Not all are convinced that they will only lose their money in the end because, there are a very few gamblers that still believe to themselves that they are lucky enough. Despite of hardship to win, still they keep on the positive way of thinking that they will get what they aim and that is making them addicted.

16871  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Trading VS Bitcoin! on: April 12, 2017, 10:22:31 PM
in this case I prefer to trade from the Minning. well, perhaps very many losses in bitcoin minning if you do not plan properly. and that certainly, require a lot of money to produce that much in Minning bitcoin. Well, although trading does have risks, not least the risk is very small if you really have to understand in trading.

Yes, you are right trading is always a better option when compared to mining because mining is very vast subject to learn, at the same time lot of time-consuming factors. So it is always good for the people who wants to trade altcoin or bitcoin.

Not just it will consume your time but it will consume a lot of things. First, money, you need to have a big capital as given by Farma. If you don't have enough money for starting your own mining rigs and place be ready also for the expenses because it will eat a lot of electricity except you are living on a country that does have cheap electricity.

Just be a broad minded here.  If you are a good with techies and have funds but not good with trading, what will you do?  Trading is not for everyone, same thing with minings.  I think it depends on which things the person have interest. You can easily say trading is best but actually have poor result in trading,  the difference between this is that mining gives more possibility to earn bitcoin, simply by joining the pool and have a shared on the blocks that were mined.  Trading can give you more profit if you are good with it.  The thing here is, where are you good at.  Then go with it to earn Bitcoin.

We know the fact that trading is not truly for everyone but it can be learned. What if you are a techie person but you don't have something and doesn't have enough capital for making your own mining rig. But I agree with you, it's better to go where you are good at but you need to consider the expenses and your capital for it.

16873  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You can't avoid taxes by investing in bitcoin on: April 12, 2017, 09:55:07 PM
If you think investing in bitcoin or a similar “crypto-currency” may be a good method for hiding income from the tax man, you’d better think again.
http://nypost.com/2017/04/08/no-you-cant-avoid-taxes-by-investing-in-bitcoin/

I am smelling something good here with the news. If the government declared about how peoples can't avoid the taxes by investing in bitcoin, it means directly or indirectly government said that they recognize the existence of bitcoin and how it can be profitable to invest.

Very good news! It only signifies that government is now starting to recognize bitcoin. And here in my country, I can say that I'm a contributor for the tax of the local exchange that I've been using, why? Because they are registered and they pay tax and with the service that I've been using, there is a hidden taxation that isn't heavy to be considered as burden. The same thing as what that article is saying.

Bitcoin will be regulated in the near future that is for sure as this is the future of currency. The governments cannot deny this, this is why they are really pushing for its regulation nowadays. It might not be as good if it would be really restrictive and it could possibly hinder the benefits of bitcoins and other crypto.

Unless they don't want to recognize bitcoin that it can generate good amount for the taxation of a country. But I know it that one day they are going to enter also the scene of bitcoin, they will have to take over and monitor the local exchanges that will be used for cashing out bitcoin and each cash out should be taxable. I hate that day if it happens.
16874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to spot a gambler addicted? on: April 12, 2017, 09:42:47 PM
A gambling addict is always busy gambling. If he is so pre occupied even though there's not that much to do at all, he's probably just busy gambling.

Well the logic is there, spotting an addicted gambler is easy that way. Most of them are busy gambling and doesn't have enough time for other things. But there are addicted gamblers that aren't that busy, they may be doing some other things but they keep on thinking about their first bet for this day after their work.
I don't think that we can consider a gambler thinking about gambling during their work without gambling since addiction in gambling leads a person to gamble more which causes them to lack their time to other activities. In this case, a person that has control doing no gambling but thinking about it can not be consider as gambling addicted.

It might be addicted gambler but still he is responsible because he know that he don't have something to gamble if he is not going to work. There are people that are working for gambling. I consider them to be an addicted one, because why they do have to think about gambling and instead of focusing to their work, they are thinking other things.

16877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you keep your bitcoins? on: April 12, 2017, 01:48:05 AM
What is the best way to do this, and what's the best way of ensuring a backup?

How do you currently store your coins

thanks in advance for any inputs


The best way to store bitcoins is with hardware wallet and you can easily download it. And of course for backing up just make sure you got a proper storage of that wallet so that whenever you want to get it, you can have it easily. Online wallets are risky but if you do trust them go for it, just make sure you are aware of what can happen to them anytime.

Also because it is more safer than the online wallet, because the online wallet is so vulnerable to hacker because of the internet, and we all know that everything is possible in our technology nowadays, and compare to the hardware wallet, hackers needs to get your wallet physically, for them to hack your wallet and it's much pretty reassuring because there is a lot of hackers that wants money, that is why we have to be more extra careful about our bitcoins.

Unless that online wallet provider is being trusted and has been running for a lot of years then no doubt that it is going to give you security. But as their security is upgrading, those intruders will keep on upgrading too but if they really can't breached that site they will just find another that has low security. Still it's your choice if you want to keep it there.

Greed is addictive and a lot of greedy people are unable to stop even though they manage to get plenty and so is gambling and the people that regularly gamble. It's so addicting because you're greedy to win or regain your lost money and in the process you lose control of yourself and get addicted.

Because those people already had a chance of winning on any gambling game that they play. And they keep on playing looking for the chance that it will give them satisfaction plus the profit. In the end, they are not aware that it is making them addictive.
They probably notice but doesn't care, they would just go on and play and believe they can win. They have a slight chance of that happening but not always, the edge in the casino has always the upper hand.

Once they are into it they won't care anymore because they already started to do so. And they don't want to stop because when they already have losses, they will aim most of the time just for their money and recovery of it. The casino doesn't really care what will be the effect of their service to their customers, they will just think about the profit.
That's the problem, they can't control it, even if they know that in the long run, it's always the casino. Losses are inevitable but if you hit that lucky jackpot bet, then it's probably the best thing that can happen. The best thing to do is just don't gamble or don't think about the profits because you'll probably get too emotional and attached to it.

In the end, we figure out that gambling is very addictive because it's a normal characteristic of it. On how the game works, on how it is giving excitement, chance of winning and everything about it. And it is our weakness, it's our nature to get into money and thinking about on how we are going to earn and we think that gambling will be the solution.
