17601  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to manage money? on: November 26, 2016, 12:43:39 AM
The best way I think to manage money is to understand that you do need to save and can control the urges to not buy your wants and just pay your responsibilities. You can manage your money through apps, knowing what you paid and how much you save. The first thing when you get your salary or wage, you take an amount already to save. You take a part of it to savings, and apart of it from responsibilities. You should always keep in mind to save then spend what's remaining rather than to spend then save what's remaining. It's a sure way to have savings and completely manage it using an application. That's how I do it.  
I don't use apps for it yet, but the idea is worth trying. I'm already appliyng the practice of separating necessary items from unnecessary things.
But that alone is probably not enough, it's also necessary to do research in the market to be able to substitute more expensive items for cheaper and quality ones.

You don't even have to use apps, what you just need to have is discipline. Because if you are valuing your money and you won't use it for something unusual and that's what you intend to do and makes you to be a good manager of your money. I guess it is effective to do it on the old way, by simply making a list of your expenditures.
Apps can help but you are right we need to have a self discipline, it is just a matter of knowing your priority and you can start to manage your money effectively, true that it's hard to manage our money especially when we are not earning good enough but we have to because it's for the future.

Apps maybe some of good help but still it won't be able to make you encourage at all. The courage must come from the person who really wants to manage his money properly. And I can say, that is the best way to manage money and learn to make yourself put value to the money that you are earning so that you will spend it wisely.

Yes I still believe in the bitcoin because it has a great future and will go to a higher amount without any doubts.
It will stay here for most of the time in my eyes.

You surely not reading what this thread is all about.

the answer is obvious , if u never got into the

property cycle or dont have the uber high paying

job or welfare Queen status with Gov supplied housing

or lastly deal drugs,

u would hate Fiat to the  core!

the endless print cycle is a joke  Cheesy

I will always believing in fiat because im always using it everytime im selling or converting my profit bitcoin into fiat money and if there's an thing or there an website that i can use my bitcoin to buy anything i want then i don't need anymore to convert my bitcoin into fiat.

As most suggestions I too believe in fiat, because it is not that easy to buy anything with bitcoin at the moment because only limited products were available in limited stores. With fiat can purchase anything we need after converting our bitcoin to fiat.

We don't have a choice but to believe fiat within these days because usage of bitcoin is still limited and not all the people knows about it. But once the whole government of the world started to recognize bitcoin and dumps totally paper money. Many of us will lose interest with fiat.
17603  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How to make 1 bitcoin in a month or 2? on: November 24, 2016, 10:58:42 PM
make your brain works ,you will see how easy you can make more than 1btc in a month,,1btc is nothing if you already have a licence or a master, you can make 1btc or 2btc  in one week

Yes, if he is a professional that has a license for sure that 1-2 bitcoins he is aiming will be just nothing compare to their salary. But it seems that he doesn't any license but maybe drivers license only.

Trading can be an option but you can also just do some signature campaigns to gain such an amount, you than of course need a good one but its possible.

By doing both it can be helpful but if he is not that knowledgeable in trading he needs to study first.

he is not the only one who is interested to earn that monthly. There are others who are joining the discussion that have the same aim as him.

Let's just wait for him to reply to this thread so that we can make this clarification on what are the certain skills that he has so that we can suggest appropriate ways.

The real help could be given only with more about him.
Might be he live in exotic place or he have some skills.

I see he is scared by comments.

I guess he is not scared to comment maybe he is just having some holidays or he is in vacation or experiencing some internet and power interruption and not able to reply to this thread.
17604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If no one spends bitcoin what might happen? on: November 24, 2016, 12:39:31 AM
If people only save their bitcoins and they don’t spend any satoshi deflation is next state. Many people in this forum advise others to don’t spend and the price goes up. May be they had forgotten that bitcoin is currency and must be in circulation. If people don’t use it for what reason do you want to have it? All are offer and demand.
Bitcoin like any currency is meant to be used to trade, to exchange hands and the more exchanges the better since that means that the currency is useful and needed, if no one spend their coins then a drop in price will follow because that means there is not demand for bitcoin at all.

If there is no demand for bitcoin then it will become totally useless. And if bitcoin has big demand but no one spends it then that will make the value of bitcoin higher as the demand is high but there's no supply since all of us are holding. But I guess this is not going to happen as many are already using bitcoin and invested big amount to this crypto.
17605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin transactions - Slow OR Fast on: November 22, 2016, 12:11:22 AM
For me lately I am having blazing fast transactions. I started only recently using Electrum 2.7.12 (was using older versions before) and this new version has an option to put the fees to the max in the window where you are doing the transaction. I always choose MAX there and transactions have confirmations really fast.

If you mean Slow OR Fast like comparing to other payment options even so, I still think they are blazing fast and no other payment methods matches security of the bitcoin(unless user error, not bitcoin error).

The same as mine, I don't experience such as slow transactions when I am sending bitcoins. I'm only using blockchain and it makes faster because of their new transaction that including the transaction fee. And maybe that's the reason why we both not experiencing slow transaction, with your situation you are putting the max and with me, the fee is always deducted.
17606  Economy / Economics / Re: why is it so hard to buy bitcoin on: November 21, 2016, 03:26:14 AM
I have not really bought any bitcoin in a while, i have been mostly trading this last year.  but i have been trying to buy today from localbitcoins and bittylicious and it has been a real challenge.  they want photos of me holding cards on localbitcoins and on bitty they need about 4 different forms of id, what is going on. 

this is seriously restrictive to anyone wanting to get into bitcoin,  like its meant to be pseudonymous but if the gate ways into bitcoin dont allow that people will be put off.    Huh

It seems that some exchange are requiring some identification before buying a bitcoin. It can be a good part for them so that they would know who are their customers and can be used in future purposes. But in the part of customers, this is hassle. And have you ever tried to look for some exchange that doesn't require those things?
Most if not all exchanges require that since they are applying KYC know your costumer policies that banks are also forced to comply with and even if you found an exchange that did not require it I will not trust them that much.

It is a good initiative that some of the exchange sites are doing this but the thing of bitcoin's anonymity will be gone. Because that's why many are using bitcoin because there is no information required for each transaction. And this is kinda awaring for getting their customers information and making themselves like bank. Sooner or later they will be regulated by gov't.
They have no choice, either they comply or they close shop, if we don't want to deal with it, and I know for sure I don't, then you can use localbitcoins or similar websites, or you can do trades here in the forum.
Well it is same as here in my place that it needs KYC but i think it is not the problem if you want to be anonymous transactions you can use bitcoin mixer to transfer to your anonymous wallet so there is no problem with it only for depositing or buying bitcoin is your problem..

There are still exchange sites that doesn't require that requirements in able for you to buy bitcoins. I guess they are just following some protocol from their local government so they are requiring us to do so. And that mixing services are also good if you don't want to let exchanges trace where you are getting your bitcoins.
17607  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Bitcoin and real money? on: November 19, 2016, 04:39:03 AM
I've been using bitcoin for more than a year and I am now regretting it, why? because if I knew it from the very start then I am a multimillionaire now... Btc is like my bread and butter now..
Lol I think it's never too late to join, you can still become a millionaire from bitcoin, as long as you're willing to work hard, I think this is the difference, the more easily obtain bitcoin than fiat

Don't ever look back in the past pal it cannot change anything in the future. And MTBTT is right, it is not too late to keep on working in bitcoin so what you need to do is to get attached with bitcoin. Just move on and don't blame yourself for not knowing bitcoin earlier and learn to study some good strategies on how you will going to work in bitcoin.
17608  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: November 17, 2016, 02:59:22 AM
I would ask for a loan if it was a really urgent emergency for me. After that, I would've made a safety fund that's only wihdrawable for emergencies and only that. Not having money when you most need it is a horrible situation, so having a safety fund saves you from that.
Thats  why we should  really have saved funds  in able  not to  have  problems  when emergency comes  unexpectedly,  i agree that  its   a  horrible  situation  when  you do  need  money at  most   but  your  bank or saving  is  not  enough or dont have totally. Making some  loan  would be the last resort.

Yes, I have your security fund is very user-friendly. But it so happens that this fund is difficult to collect. Then you have to borrow money at a bank or at a friend

This is my one option if the bank will not allow me to borrow money to their fund. Then two options left borrowing with my friends or parents and use my saved funds. But I don't really want to use my saved funds for it is used for some specific allocation. And if there are new desperation for money then I will just ask my mom for it.
You are still lucky you have a savings fund, I guess desperation of money is not your problem. The only situation that I consider that you are in desperate need of money is when you do not have something that you own, with that it will lead you to sell any property you have just to have the money and could possibly borrow money as you said.

It's tough under the situation my friend, I have experience that many times in my younger age so I learned a lot from it.

Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't my problem to be desperate in money. And that is the things that I will just do if I am really in need of money. Just like if all my money was spent well and still I need to cover up some expenses like paying my rental rooms and other utility bills, then I will just explain it to my mom.
17609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying House with bitcoin from USA on: November 16, 2016, 12:15:29 AM
Can a foreigner buy a house in USA with bitcoins?

I am aware of that the foreigners can buy a house from USA and there isn't any restrictions. But how about bitcoins?

I know if the seller accepts it there won't be a problem but how about the government? Are they ok with that?

Normally, FED controls/monitors every USD transaction all around the world and they check if the money is clean (legally obtained) or dirty (terrorism, tax evasion, drug dealing etc) . Especially if you send the money to USA. Since they won't be able to control bitcoin transactions, how would they know if you are a drug dealer or a legal citizen in your country? Or do they  even care?

As far as I know they can buy house before I just don't know with the new administration of Donald Trump but it seems he is just mad at those illegal migrants. So, if you have legal papers and migration in the USA then just talk to the owner or a seller if he do accepts bitcoin but if not then just teach him how to use bitcoin or simply convert your bitcoins into fiat.
17610  Economy / Economics / Re: The Halving - Good or Bad for Bitcoin? on: November 15, 2016, 12:17:28 AM
Lets hope it will be good for the bitcoin because it has a good future and I think that such an halving can be very profitable for us all.
Its just that we need more patience and that the halving is right now still far away.

It did good and besides the halving is done already so the next halving will be on the year of 2020. And if you will going to conclude on the effect of bitcoin halving this last June of the year. The price of bitcoin did really good so it is a good thing about bitcoin. This may be bad to the miners but overall users halving is good.
17611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 13, 2016, 12:19:26 PM
Yes, bitcoin can help poor countries if people there can be train into bitcoin trading and mining with all necessary facilities.

Yeah, exactly, we should accept that bitcoin can help the poor countries not too much but sure. Think about it, now why we are here? because bitcoin give us money and it is online good opportunity to earn money. That's why we are still working with bitcoin and investment in it and also trading help us.

It is going to be a helpful tool to make those poor countries have their very own good source of profit. But the reality is those poor countries doesn't even have something to pay for their food. We can just easily say that bitcoin can be a good help to the poor countries but we need to consider these things.

17613  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I use Bitcoin ??? on: November 10, 2016, 12:55:58 AM
In this time most of the currencies are here,so why i use Bitcoin? what you feel the different between Bitcoin and the other currencies?
I used bitcoin  cause bitcoin is the mother currency of all cryptocurrency. It is easily convertable into fiat that other cryptocurrency cant. Both are anonymously used. But bitcoin is the most used in transactions. Many wallet are usable to store bitcoin not like other cryptocurrency
The only reason I use bitcoin is because it is the most profitable investment online so far. I am using this as my investment for the future and it also helps me to give entertainment online, I can gambling at any casinos so that is a great benefit so far.

That's true, this is one that is legit that I saw on internet and so far I am able to get some returns already from my investments. And I also use it because upon knowing that this is going to be a great currency for the future purposes and as early as today. I adopted it so that I won't be late on what's to be and going to be on the trend.
17614  Economy / Economics / Re: The Future of Money? on: November 09, 2016, 12:06:58 AM
Yes, the government can prohibit cryptocurrency. It's in his jurisdiction. We can only hope that it will be wise and do not go so
I think although bitcoin is prohibited even if it will not give a big effect on bitcoin, even now many governments prohibit the use bitcoin, but it did not leave much of an negative effect

I don't even think that even will prohibit the usage of bitcoin. Still us who uses bitcoin will not stop in using and since it is online we can just simply hide our identities to our cyber crime watch. And this will be the future money of the cyber people in the cyber world. Not an easy thing for the government but they might adopt it as second currency.
17615  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your best investment strategy? on: November 08, 2016, 12:16:08 AM
My investment strategy - is to buy Bitcoins. I believe that this is a good investment. because of this I can become rich

I usually don't buy bitcoins, but I have my own investment. So what I did is I manage to claim first at faucets and when I get somewhat 0.005 bitcoin I just did invest it into trading and bought some potential coins. And upon earning, I am just holding it until today because I do believe that holding is the best investment in bitcoin.

This kind of strategy is a bit slow when you are starting.  It may saved you from buying bitcoin but it will take sometime to establish a reasonable amount of time to get a decent amount of bitcoin for trading.  The downside is, if your trade is not successful then you have to repeat to step number one which will take another long time to get a good amount for trading.  But this kind of strategy is good for all who don't want to spend a single cent in buying bitcoin.
I have actually not trying to spend more time in faucet and this guy is telling he get 0.005 BTC in faucets, I know that is possible but the question is how much time do you have to spend just to get that amount of money.

I guess, we need to be serious in investing and get the real money from our salary if possible so we can invest with a decent amount.

I know it is a very slow and unusual way of strategy in investing. But that is when I was still new in bitcoin but as of now, I don't usually visit faucet daily but still I manage to visit some faucets when I just have some spare time. And if you want to know how long did I put with faucets just to claim 0.005BTC? That is almost a month.
17616  Economy / Economics / Re: How would you double $100,000 safely? on: November 07, 2016, 01:17:05 AM
Well if there was a method to double safely, people probably made millions out of it already. I would suggest investing in Bitcoin or maybe just learn how to trade and make profit that way. 

Going to trade for a hundred thousand bucks... That's VERY risky, bro. It takes only one bad event to take place and just a few bucks for the respective investment to fall and you're down. Creating an innovative business should be way better.

That is crazy if you are going to invest thousand bucks with a single trading career. It is better if you are going to have a lot of investments like forex trading and stock market trading. Because if you are just going to depend on a single source of income with that amount of investment, you are going to have hard time in doubling it.
17617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I use Bitcoin ??? on: November 06, 2016, 12:04:57 PM
I hear that bitcoin price is good, it was rise. So I interested with it . I wanna learn more about bitcoin. Is there anothere benefit of using bitcoin?

This is also why I use bitcoin, because upon seeing that bitcoins price is quite good enough. I started to use and learn to know more about it and upon researching I found out that bitcoin was real and you can use it with different types of usage, but most of the people are using it for gambling. And since I am a moderate gambler, I use it.

finger crossed watching from high distance sipping my coke and popcorn.

If i gamble with my BTC and win or loss is better than giving those egg-head my money to runaway.
Who do you think is next to parkupBTCBTCBTC

Unfortunately any excahnge platform can run away with peoples bitcoins.

That`s why bitcoin will never be mass adopted and will never become a popular global currency.

Any bitcoin related business can turn into a scam. Sad

I don't agree that just because some websites turn scam it would not let bitcoin to become a popular global currency, because these scams and etc are done in real life too but it does not affect any coin, it just proves the company or anyone doing it bad.

Scams are given and in real life yeah it is happening. But most of the sites that are going to run away with the people's bitcoin are those cloud mining and hyip's scam sites. Greediness will lead a good website to turn away the bitcoin of the people, but there are trusted websites that just want to give good service to the people and make their name shine because of it.
17619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 05, 2016, 12:39:00 AM
For some part it can help the bitcoin countries but for the most it will not help them at all to be honest because its something that can really boost up a economy, the economy of such countries is just so bad that it cannot be fixed by the bitcoin alone.

But how can it boost the economy of those poor countries if they can't even have help themselves from having its resources to be upgraded. Even though it is really true that bitcoin can help the poor countries. But they must find out first what are the basic things that must be focused before bitcoin is going to get into the action.
17620  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: November 02, 2016, 12:15:43 AM
I do believe in bitcoin, and now there are two new projects that will change the way of people does see bitcoin, augur and zcash will change once again bitcoin, looks like bitcoin has unlimited upgrades while it gets more value.

I hope these two projects will become very successful and that is what I'm believing. Because of the people who are believing in bitcoin, good projects are coming out with the mind of those people who believes that bitcoin would be a very great investment and that is what they keep on investing with bitcoin and more people sees it.
