All do need money but I do not mind to sacrifice children for money, togetherness with children can not be bought with money. money is everything to be able to buy human dignity.

Who is asking you to sacrifice your children for money? No one will be willing to do that. But if you want to give a good future for your children, then you need money with you. Else how can you afford their education and healthcare?
19082  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Christianity is Poison on: August 28, 2017, 01:42:12 AM
I do not consider Christianity a poison when people live peacefully, but when people begin to die because of this religion, it is already really a poison. This applies to all religions, not just Christianity.

Even now people are getting killed in the name of Christianity. In north-east India, there are a lot of Christian-based terrorist organizations such as the NSCN and the NLFT. They are known to selectively attack and kill the local Hindus.
19083  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Crimea is Russian. ©2017 Freedom House on: August 28, 2017, 01:37:42 AM
There are quite a few interesting points to note from that map, apart from Crimea. For example, Tibet is given as separate from China and Gilgit-Baltistan is given as separate from Pakistan. Also, note the color difference in the latter case. But that doesn't mean that the Freedom House is recognizing Gilgit-Baltistan as a separate nation.   
19084  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you have a gun? on: August 28, 2017, 01:27:05 AM
Since the crime rate here is quite high, I had applied for a gun licence a year back. But due to the bureaucracy and red tape, I had to cancel my application. Getting a gun license in India is quite complicated, and you need to waste a lot of your time and effort on it. That is why many of us purchase illegal guns, rather than going through all these formalities.
19085  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Supporting culture. on: August 28, 2017, 01:21:16 AM
Every country has it's own culture, and each culture has it's own uniqueness and beauty. Now a days culture has become a really insignificant part of our lives. Let's take our dressing for instance. Across many countries many people specially in urban areas mostly prefer western wear. Our cultural dressing is for annual festivals or whenever there is a need for #desi. Rural areas capture the true essence of culture it is part of their life. On the other hand we living a fast pace life have forgotten who we are.

Culture is getting lost in the era of globalization. In North-east India, there are around 300 tribes, each having their own language and customs. But these tribes are losing their culture, ever since the mass conversion to Christianity occurred during the 1970s. Now all of them wear western dresses and some of them even can't speak their language.
19086  Economy / Economics / Re: WILL BITCOIN BE USED BY ALMOST EVERYONE IN 2022? on: August 27, 2017, 07:11:37 AM
We need to realize that even at its peak adoption stage, Bitcoin is unlikely to be used by a majority of the people in the world. Look at Visa/Master. How many people are using them? I guess less than a billion. That represents less than one-seventh of the world's population.
19087  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin prices rise high on: August 27, 2017, 07:09:48 AM
Bitcoin prices are still stable at a price of $ 4000 more and have never reached a point where it is stable at a price of $ 4500. I speculate, that within a few weeks, bitcoin prices will rise in those prices, and again stabilize.

It will remain stable at those prices for around two more months. The next big movement will come in November, when the 2 MB block size will be implemented (provided there will be enough support from the miners for the same).
19088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs Bitcoin Cash on: August 27, 2017, 07:08:31 AM
The blocks in BTC are full, filled with about 2000 transactions each block.
The one full block on the BTH chain had 37K transactions. That means the BTH blocks can store in a little more than an hour what BTC blocks needs nearly a day for.
Whether the BCH pool is invulnerable or not, only time will show. But it clearly has a better chances to do so.
Taking away hashpower is another cause that leads to the same problem, but I think it needs to be dealt with separately.

That would be a simplistic comparison. The blocks in BCH are around 8 MB, where as with the implementation of Segwit, the blocksize is around 2 MB in BTC. So it means that 4x of transactions can be stored in BCH. But the blocks are much slower to find there...

I don't think that the BCH blocks are slower to find. I am checking the Bitcoin Cash Blockchain (in blockchair.com), and I could see new blocks being mined every 5 minuets or so. On on the other hand, Blockchain.info is showing new Bitcoin blocks only once every 20 or 25 minutes.
19089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin may not be number one for long on: August 27, 2017, 07:04:22 AM
bch may surpass btc , the hashrates are comparable now. miners are switching to bch

There is a small chance that BCH may surpass BTC in the distant future. But as of now, the hash rates are not comparable. The BTC hash rate is still much higher than that of the BCH. Right now, the BTC hash rate is at least 50% higher than the BCH hash rate.
19090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you guys withdraw your bitcoins to cash? on: August 27, 2017, 06:57:34 AM
Whenever I convert my BTC to fiat, I use either one of the following two methods:

LocalBitcoins: I convert my BTC, and either get local bank deposit or credit in my PayTM account
BTC Debit Card: I am having a debit card which can be loaded with BTC. The fiat cash can be withdrawn from any ATM.
19091  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Wallet without transaction fee on: August 27, 2017, 06:55:05 AM
There is no such bitcoin wallet which offers services without transaction fee.Transaction fee is the mining fee paid for our transactions to be confirmed.Even if you come across such offers,you should be careful because it would be only a scam service.Wallets must be downloaded from the official website and not from any fake websites.

It is not a scam. In Blockchain.info, it is possible to customize the fee to BTC0.000 and send the coins. But it is another thing that such a transaction is very unlikely to get confirmed (unless you use a transaction accelerator, such as the one provided by the viaBTC).
19092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin acceptance on: August 27, 2017, 06:50:35 AM
You can pay with Bitcoin in several stores and even restaurants here in Germany. Are we the only one who have this?  Huh
As of now some commercial establishment already accept bitcoin and they accept it as a payment of their costumer. In addition to that, some online store also accept bitcoin and accepting bitcoin as a payment will help to gain and make more funds. Lastly, I hope all kind of commercial establishment will accept bitcoin.

The number of such stores are quite low, and the rate of increase is lower when compared with the rate of increase in the Bitcoin user base. There are many reasons for this. High transaction fee and volatility are some of them. The lack of legal clarity is another.
19093  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC fees exploding and BTC will crash down on: August 27, 2017, 06:49:11 AM
Btc High transaction fees really sucks but I dont think we can control this and I think it would be hard for ypu to convince people to sell btc and hold other altcoins instead to make transaction fees low since people are holding btc due to rapid increase.

No guarantee that Bitcoin will remain at the top if the transaction fee climbs even further. Will you be happy to pay a transaction fee of $30? Altcoins such as Bitcoin Cash can make use of this situation.
19094  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should focus more on saving bitcoins than selling your bitcoins on: August 27, 2017, 06:47:40 AM
It is quite difficult to put this thing in to practice. If someone is facing an acute shortage of money and he has only Bitcoins as savings, then what do you suggest? In this case the individual has no other option, but to sell his coins.
19095  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin go to 5000$ after SegWit activation? on: August 27, 2017, 06:34:17 AM
All the pump and dump as a result of Segwit is done and Bitcoin has now stabilized at $4,000 - 4,500 levels. The next big movement will occur in November, when the 2MB block size will be implemented. Things will be more or less dull until then.
19096  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC fees exploding and BTC will crash down on: August 27, 2017, 06:31:08 AM
I sent 0.029 and paid 0.0041 BTC. If that is a small amount, then bitcoin is not ready to be integrated to shops or as official currency. Then it is only for investors.

This is insane. You paid almost $18 as the fee. But I have a suggestion. If you are ready to wait for 5-6 hours, then use Blockchain.info and calculate the transaction fee using the "low priority" option. Instead of BTC0.0041, you may need to pay around BTC0.001 (which is still quite high).
19097  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Wallet without transaction fee on: August 27, 2017, 06:28:01 AM
With the minimum transaction fee ranging from 200 to 400 Satoshi per Byte now, even if you find some wallet which is ready to send your transaction without any fees, I don't think it will get confirmed. Better to send the transaction in Blockchain.info, with a small customized fee.
19098  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you agree in death penalty? on: August 27, 2017, 04:46:43 AM
A few hundred years ago in Europe, it was regarded as more cruel to lock people up in a prison cell for many years than to kill them.

Even now some of the human rights advocates are arguing that life without parole is an inhuman form of punishment. They are against death penalty, and they are against life without parole. I wonder whether they want all these murderers and rapists in the streets roaming freely.
19099  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is religion necessary for humans? on: August 27, 2017, 04:44:32 AM
IMO, religion is not something which is necessary for the humans. There are more than a billion atheist/non-religious people around the world, and their numbers are rising. None of these people feel like there is a need for religion.
19100  Other / Politics & Society / Re: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PRESIDENT DUTERTE and his WAR on the DRUGS in the PHILIPPIN on: August 27, 2017, 04:38:29 AM
This is a beautiful law made by the Duterte, it has helped many reduce drug users. But innocent people were affected by what the police could earn. There are police who exploit these kinds of laws. Just getting redeemed, will kill innocent people

He didn't made any new laws. But he made use of the existing laws, in order to reduce the drug trade and crime rate. But corruption in the police resulted in a lot of innocent people getting framed on fake charges. That should have been avoided.
