No. Buy Bitcoin Cash.

At BTC0.07 per coin, Bitcoin Cash was a perfect buy. A lot of people who bought BCH at those rates are now sitting on top of almost 150% profits. But the current rates (around BTC0.18 per coin), offer little scope for any further appreciation, at least in the short-term.
18482  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Still Go Up? on: August 21, 2017, 07:22:49 AM
Yes. I believe so, and there are multiple reasons behind it. First of all, Bitcoin has started to attract interest from the mainstream investors. Although the Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF was initially rejected by the SEC, they have filed again for listing. And LedgerX recently stated that they will make Bitcoin Options and Futures available to their customers.

I think developing countries might actually be ahead of the western ones in this regard. Especially China and Russia since crypto already has a decent foothold there.

Bitcoin is not legal in both Russia and China. A lot of Bitcoin-related businesses were forced to relocate from Russia, due to the negative attitude of the Russian government. They even blocked the BTC-e website a few months back. And the situation is no different in China. A number of exchanges relocated to Hong Kong, due to government persecution.

doesnt matter if you migrats or not, its all about humanity, if you dont have humanity. you will do as this guy

It matters in this case, because the perpetrators were allegedly fleeing from "persecution" in their home countries and received asylum in Austria claiming that their lives are under threat in Afghanistan/Somalia. And look at what they have done. They have destroyed the life of someone who gave them refuge.
18485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can ruin a Country? on: August 21, 2017, 06:47:05 AM
May be no. As you can see bitcoin has no tax

Who told you about this? You are liable to pay taxes on your profits from Bitcoin (only if you convert your coins to fiat). And the biggest problem is that this profit will be regarded as ordinary income. So if you get a 40% profit over an investment of $10,000 ($4,000 profits), then you may end up paying up to $1,600 as tax.
18486  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Could North Korea really survive if the United States will fire on them? on: August 21, 2017, 06:43:56 AM
North Korea just pretends to look scary in the Asian region but if they fight with the Americans of course they will lose.

Of course, North Korea will be flattened by US. They are threatening but this threats cannot be ignored  in the region and even with the US. There are issues between US and Korea and still hurts the North Korean even more than 50 years had past.The US bombed them during the Korean War and it is still freah and unresolved in their minds.

North Korea may be flattened by the Americans in the initial few hours. But even if just 50% of the population survives, they will launch a powerful counter-attack against the American bases in Japan and South Korea (probably using nukes). And this will cause tens of millions of casualties on both the sides.
18487  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bitcoin on Drug Trade on: August 21, 2017, 06:41:55 AM
It had been used for years now but not until recently it became famous. Here in the Philippines, you can buy bulks and kilos of drugs without the risk of being caught by using crypto currencies or other third party payment apps like paypal or exchange sites.

The advantage with the dark markets is that they are quite anonymous and safe. You don't have to go to the street, in order to get your daily dosage of weed. But at the same time, this method is not 100% risk-free. Occasionally, cops trace the buyer using the delivery address.
Drugs is regarded as the less vices when it comes to commodities that uses bitcoins for transaction, I have always said that terrorism sponsoring is the most dangerous thing when people uses bitcoins to finance such groups and due to its high anonymity, there is nothing that can be done to stop this thing

I haven't heard about many instances in which Bitcoin was used to fund or sponsor terrorist attacks. Most of the terrorists use physical cash, because it is more anonymous when compared to Bitcoin.
18488  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is it possible that cryptocurrency will be totally accepted by government? on: August 21, 2017, 06:40:34 AM
Already nations such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland have legalized Bitcoin (and the other crypto-currencies). Within the next few years, more nations will follow their example. But the taxes are still a bit of concern. And the tax rates also vary from country to country.
18489  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Solution to high taxes: get a second job lazy... on: August 21, 2017, 06:38:24 AM
If a country has high taxes then you need to learn not to pay them. In any legislation there are niches that allow you to do this. Bitcoin for example. It's not just a currency, and the possibility of leaving the government without financing. Then they just think, and cut taxes to revive the economy.

How can you avoid paying taxes using Bitcoin? You can hide your income in Bitcoin and refuse to pay the taxes. But that is illegal. If the authorities find out about it, then you can be imprisoned. The only perfect solution to avoid taxes is to get an economical citizenship in nations such as St Kitts, Dominica, or Antigua, where there is no income tax.

Attacking first would likely spell disaster for north korea and kim. Trump's just probably waiting for kim to initiate before he wipes that country off the map. We know north korea won't survive a full attack from the us, not without it's allies stepping in. It's allies are not happy as well with kim's provocations.

North Korea is not going to attack first. 99.99% of the defense analysts agree with this view. And Trump is also less inclined to attack the DPRK first. He may be provoking the fat boy so that his approval ratings could improve. But he knows that invading the DPRK can become another Vietnam for the USAF. Or it could be a repeat of the 1950-53 Korean War, which went on for many years.

The best example to show that people of Africa can succeed in life and should do so is former UN General Secretary Kofi Annan

Kofi didn't achieved much during his stint as the UN Secretary General. And his role in the Oil-for-Food Programme was very controversial. And moreover, he failed to contribute anything significant to Africa.
18492  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Christianity and Genocidal Violence on: August 21, 2017, 06:27:08 AM
I find it sad that the best response christians have to their religion committing genocide is:
"But (some other group) does it too!"

Always blaming other people... when will it stop?

Who do you blame for the genocide of the village of a forum member by christians?

Religion based genocide and forcible conversion to a particular religion happens when the followers of that particular religion competes for the larger share of adherents. And this happens when religious bodies start to act like corporate entities.

When will all use of weed in all countries be banned?

Why you want to ban weed? It is less harmful than tobacco or alcohol. I still don't understand the reason why marijuana is illegal in most of the countries, and at the same time dangerous drugs such as Oxycodone and Hydromorphone are perfectly legal.

Marijuana is illegal in our country, maybe because some users are abuse to use it, im hoping that one day it will be legal because it has the potential to cure the sick.

I don't believe in the "medicinal" properties of marijuana. But at the same time, it has the potential to act as a cheap and affordable painkiller, especially for people suffering from diseases such as cancer. That is why the pharma cartels remain opposed to the legalization of weed.
18494  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Population on: August 21, 2017, 06:20:33 AM
i think there are very impossible for the solution about the over population because many country are no laws about that problem, every country need to make law how to control the population like china have a law in the one child policy for every couple, but the problem in the other country like the christian country the catholic church is againts that policy.

It is not just the Catholic church. All the three major Semitic religions (Islam, Christianity, Judaism) are against population control. Islam, in particular has used demographic jihad as a method to expand itself (especially in South Asia and the Balkans).
18495  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the United States of America? on: August 21, 2017, 06:03:13 AM
United States of America is one of the riches country in the world and also the USA is the one who help our country when the spain try to seize us but I don't think we need to trust the USA because of that.

What, are you from the Philippines? You can trust the Americans. They are the only ones who can help you (both in military and economic terms) in case of a future confrontation with China.
18496  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Up Like Trump on: August 21, 2017, 06:01:37 AM

That means people doesn't feel like they need to own a gun anymore. Trump has limited the number of Islamic terrorist brought in to the United States, under the name of "refugees". That may be one of the reasons. He has also stepped up the deportation of Mexican gangsters.

but non citizens cant buy guns here, and im pretty sure criminals arent using legal guns.

just sayin.

That's not what I was saying. I was saying that a number of criminals have been deported back to Mexico and the crime rates seems to have dropped. So the civilians are buying lesser number of guns.
18497  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: August 21, 2017, 05:56:52 AM
Yeah and many countries are already doing this like japan and new zealand. These countries are finding successful ways not to contribute to the depletion of our fossil fuels and are using natural sources that won't harm the environment.

New Zealand is too small to make any meaningful contribution. It's population is just around 4 million. And Japan remains one of the biggest importers of fossil fuels in the world. And their consumption of fossil fuels seems to have increased especially after the closure of nuclear power plants after the Fukushima disaster.

The permafrost in Siberia is what holds the ground together right now.

Yes... And once this permafrost melts, the land will be just washed off in to the Arctic Ocean. And if I am not wrong, this is already happening in many parts of Siberia, Alaska, and in the polar regions of Norway.
18499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BCH threat to BTC? on: August 20, 2017, 06:23:56 AM
Its not much of a threat to BTC, the koreans thought it was an upgrade to btc this may look a potential pump and dump as the price is not back up by solid investor but rather superficial. What would happen if the koreans realize that its not the coin they thought it to be. And plus bitcoin has far more stability in it's price cause it is supported by millions of merchants around the world, countries started accepting it and it is now widely use as a payment method. A newly born altcoin can never be  a compete with bitcoin.

Don't think that the Koreans are that stupid. They must have carefully analyzed both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. And a major part of the investment came from institutional players, as per the ground reports. These people might have found something positive about the future prospects of Bitcoin Cash. That said, even now there is hardly any chance of BCH overtaking BTC.
18500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Increasing Block size lowers the value of Bitcoin on: August 20, 2017, 06:21:20 AM
I don't understand how you came to this conclusion.We earlier faced a huge problem in bitcoin network due to high transaction fee which was mainly due to limited block size of 1 MB.Even the problem grew to that extent that some stared saying that people would nstart leaving bitcoin network due to high fee and they would switch to some other altcoin which provides speed transactions at very low cost.That was the main reason for increasing the block size to 2 MB and it would only help for the progress of bitcoin and its increase in price.

High fee is exactly the reason why the altcoin share in the crypto-coin market capitalization rose from less than 10% to around 53% as of now. Else, how can you explain a brand new altcoin such as Bitcoin Cash having a market cap of $15 billion?
