Correct me if i'm wrong, but more than the 90% of countries don't accept BTC to pay taxes. It's a non sense question. Even if we could who would that?

Please read the OP again. The OP is not referring to using BTC to pay taxes. On the other hand, OP is talking about whether you need to pay taxes on your revenues and profits from the trade of crypto-currencies or not.

You can feed just a part of them, but that's not a solution for poverty. They need to be prepared for a job or at least giving them the opportunity to work if they want to.

You are absolutely right. Handouts are not a permanent solution. What the poor needs is jobs. Agriculture is not a solution, since the availability of farmland is quite limited. So, they need to be trained for various blue collar jobs in order to earn a living.

A lot of terrorists seem to be coming from the Middle East, because the Middle East is getting screwed from all sides. If you lived in that place you would probably be quite pissed off as well.

If you look at the ISIS, then it is clear that they are attracting psychopaths from all over the world, and not just from the middle-east. The former USSR has contributed to between 5,000 and 10,000 fighters, mostly consisting of Chechens and Central Asians such as Uzbecs.
18964  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will President Trump build the wall? on: July 26, 2017, 01:34:14 AM
I think that he is going to build the wall, regardless of whether Mexico is going to pay for it or not. It is going to cost anywhere from $10 billion and $50 billion to build the wall, which is small when compared to the multi-trillion annual budget of the United States.

Well, within a decade or so, the Arctic would be completely ice-free during the summer so I don't see why Russia and China will not try to use it. In China's case, they can more easily ship exports to North America. 

This early though, it seems the littoral countries are already arm gripping each other for possible resources there and for the routes... just like what's happening in SE Asia.

One of the reasons why everyone is keen to use the Arctic passages is that the Egyptians are getting more and more unreasonable and arrogant with the Suez canal. Any ship passing through the Suez has to pay a huge fee, in addition to luxury items as bribes.

as any politician the PR-Product - currently, is playing the role of the  boogeyman for USA Media

Every single politician hires PR agencies. The same is true with Putin as well. He has tried to cultivate a macho image for himself, by conducting photoshoots of his judo sessions, topless horse-rides.etc. And this one is special:

The real value in UBIs is the freedom it gives to people who really want to focus on their passion. These people will finally have the chance to chase what they care about, instead of having to chase paychecks for survival. This will ultimately benefit society as a whole, since some of them will go on to create great things.

That is the problem. If my passion is for staying at home and having sex all day, then why the other tax payers subsidize my passion? This is never going to work. UBI, if implemented will wreck the economy.
18968  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Oxford study claims Duterte paid trolls to promote or defend him online on: July 26, 2017, 01:24:03 AM
Every single politician uses PR agencies, who specialize in shaping the public opinion regarding him. The media is targeting Duterte just because they don't like him. Why single him out, when most of the politicians do the same?
18969  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHY bcc cannot worth more than 0.5% of bitcoin price, here is the proof on: July 25, 2017, 02:47:32 PM
Considering the number of powerful investors and mining pools supporting BCC, I really doubt whether the price will be that low. The exchange rates are going to be very volatile, but my guess is that it can range from anywhere between 1% and 10% of the Bitcoin price.
18970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's going on? Bitcoin for the rich only? on: July 25, 2017, 02:43:57 PM
I dont think so. Because this is not only for the rich who can invest and earn. This is also the way for the othersto eran by simply joining in a particular signature campaign of some investors so that they both earn with the help of each other. But it will only happen if the signature campign succeed. Thats what i think. Its just an opinion.

None of the current signature campaigns could replace the income from full-time job. They are good only for passive earning. Well, in 2014 there was this PrimeDice signature campaign, which had a maximum payout of close to BTC2.4 per month. That was the only campaign, which could replace a full time job.
18971  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BTC-e hacked ?? on: July 25, 2017, 02:40:11 PM
Popular Russian bitcoin exchange BTC-e has been down for almost 3 hours with the official twitter saying they are having a "server maintenance".

It is not a Russian bitcoin exchange. Although the owners are Russians (they were Russian citizens in 2011, not sure whether they still hold the Russian passport or not), the exchange was originally based in Kiev (Ukraine). But now they are based in Sofia, Bulgaria.  
18972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HERE IS HOW THE FORK WILL HAPPEN. on: July 25, 2017, 02:25:02 AM

Also Exchangers position about fall of "soft fork" is not clean.

3-4 months ago, poloniex had explained that they were ready for hard fork and they will also issue the splitted bitcoin one. But this time, they're very silent and we don't know what will happen to our bitcoins.

Check this:

https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.07.24-Our-plans-to-handle-potential-BTC-network-disruptions/

I think that Poloniex has gone back on its word. This is what they are saying now:

Quote
Even if two viable blockchains emerge, we may or may not support both and will make such a decision only after we are satisfied that we can safely support either blockchain in an enterprise environment.

what is bcc anyone? sorry im a newbie

Check the official website:

https://www.bitcoincash.org/

Bitcoin Cash is going to be an altcoin (although earlier it was thought that it will be a chain spit from the original Bitcoin), formed by some of the miners rejecting the recent changes (SegWit).
18974  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate christians? on: July 25, 2017, 02:09:07 AM
This subject probably came up with the Muslims to avenge the same topic about Muslims. Hatred of Muslims is based on the numerous cases of terrorism they commit, and Christians are peaceful people and do not deserve hatred.

In my country, there are a few Christian terrorist organizations as well, such as the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN). They have massacred Hindu Indians in the past, and even now they are forcibly converting Hindus to Christianity.
18975  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate muslems? on: July 25, 2017, 02:06:36 AM
No, that's not true. Islamic extremist terrorism is world wide, and just about anywhere where Muslims go, there is terrorism.

Absolutely spot-on. Do you know why there are so few terrorist incidents in Japan and South Korea? The reason is that there are very few Muslims in these nations. The governments in these East Asian nations are not as retarded as those in the European Union. They know about the after-effects of Muslim immigration, and therefore they have taken the necessary steps to prevent it.
18976  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Impact of drinking alcohol. on: July 25, 2017, 01:52:23 AM
As with everything else in life, all is OK in moderation

True. Everything is about quantity. Lost my brother to alcohol but if you can limit yourself to one or to drinks it is fine

In my place also, I know a few people who lost their lives as a result of alcohol abuse (including a few friends and relatives). But still, I would blame the individual than blaming alcohol for their deaths.
18977  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are terrorists only muslim in religion? on: July 25, 2017, 01:50:27 AM
Not all muslims are terroists, some of them are simply radicalized due to their surroundings.
Christians or katholics can also be fundementally cray cray.

Yes.. there can be fanatics among the Christians as well. But I have never seen a Christian beheading a non-Christian, saying that his holy book urges him to wage religious war against the non-believers.
18978  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your opinion on recreational drug use on: July 25, 2017, 01:49:10 AM
The government really dont care about the effects on the people, they are just concerned about the money they will make, If the entire USA eventually accepts the so called use of marijuana, its going to be catastrophic  for the entire country.

The pharma and drug cartels have managed to convince the people that marijuana is something evil. That is not the case. It is even less harmful than legal substances such as alcohol and tobacco. So there is no point in banning it.
18979  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ISIS Leader is dead on: July 25, 2017, 01:44:58 AM
After crippling the Iraqi armed forces, and take down Saddam Hussein, they turned their backs and left.
These obvious consequences were deliberately ignored.

Whatever the negatives Saddam had, he was a secular leader and he checked the Islamist extremism when he was in power. Also, the religious minorities (Christians, Yazidis, and Mandeans) were safer under his rule.
18980  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are rich countries rich and poor countries poor? on: July 25, 2017, 01:43:01 AM
first world countries make others poor

Can't say that for sure. People don't want to live in the third world nations for a variety of reasons. These include corruption, crime, bureaucratic red tape.etc. So the educated elite from these nations always immigrate to the first world nations. Can't blame the first world nations for this brain drain, because they are not forcing anyone to immigrate.
