What don't we know about the Chinese economy?
What are things which the general public doesn't know about the Chinese economy?
Frankly, not much. Information's flowing well. I see plenty of reports and articles from China. Their economy is still growing at a much faster pace than western countries despite all the recent hiccups. We may miss a few details, the overall picture given by news services is correct. I've been to China 3 times. |

Make that a deal, by giving a 10% price reduction to customers paying with BTC. You may increase your prices by 5% to achieve this, but it's important that your customers understand they'll get an instant discount just by paying with BTC.

We've already seen several articles about private bitcoinless company-centric blockchain. They're some kind of a cloud-based extranet with free access to all members of a given company. We'll see more and more of them since they're a robust way to store data among a network.

Shame on them! Such a beautiful animal, and so rare. And those 2 *ssholes posing with pride next to it. They are criminals who should be put in jail for a very long time. Hunting should be restricted to wild boars, rabbits and other animals which are plentiful. And it should not be a sport, hunters should only hunt for food.

You've got my answer. You may consider advertising your poll on all local boards (in other languages), if you haven't done so yet. I hope you'll get many answers, but I know by experience how hard it is to convince people to participate in a poll. Regarding the poll, there could be more logic in the order you've listed the different regions. - The UK is dominating almost all wealth categories, and
No! Not the UK. The UK and Europe. Very substantial difference. |

The government is to publish Land Registry data later this year, setting out which foreign companies own land and property in England and Wales.
So what is going to change? The British people will be able to see that some beautiful mansion in Belgravia belongs to a trust from the Carribean, and then what? There's nothing wrong with this.

It depends because there are several residential permits for extra-Europeans. It also depends on the country, but I happen to know the answer for Germany. Anyone wishing to stay in Germany for more than 3 months needs to register and ask for a permit if he isn't a national from an EU country.

This is a SCAM! And I don't like it because I've seen some very good people working for the Red Cross, in Africa. The Red Cross has no current operation in Liberland. People interested in the Red Cross can get information on their official website: https://www.icrc.org/. I understand some people are trying to set up a new country. They may find supporters, and I kinda like the idea, but if those people begin acting like con artists, by identifying themselves as members of respected organizations to gain financial support, they should not get any help from anyone. If anyone here wants to help the Red Cross, they can help via their website. The Red Cross badly needs money for operations in Ukraine and Sudan. Not in Liberland. This guy also supports a scam coin called EFL so be careful. What? I've never heard of EFL in my life. Back to the subject, OP is gone, but I'll add that I see the people going to liberland just like the people going to fight for IS. It's the same thing, they don't like their country, so they want to create a new one with hope that they'll be more successful out there. I know very well how they think because I've been there. I left my country 24 years ago. The differences are that when they want a president, I don't want any. They want laws to feel safe, they want rights, I don't need any of those. They want passports, I've dreamed all my life of being able to travel without identification. Documentation will kill mankind. And that has already started. In several countries, businesses have been forced to close down because of forms, regulations, and the like. Action is here and now. No need to start a new country. Once you've left the country of your birth with all the pressure that comes from it, you're free. so the message i try to propagade here is that it is not just about you, you need to get the masses behind your idea to really make a change instead of just thinking about yourself. Click the link in the 5th post of this topic to understand my point of view, you can skip it to 30 minutes or so. Thinking only about myself? I certainly don't. Actually, quite often, I try to convince others to live the way I do (not online, though, only face to face). If everybody would, there'd no more wars nor borders, and much less taxes. Totally unlike what the supporters of liberland want. They want a new country, with new borders, new citizenship, new passports, new laws and new taxes. Where's the change besides the name change? |

Very logical. Banks could save money using the blockchain as a strong international ledger, but they couldn't do the business they do with BTC as a currency. There's a still a window of opportunity with some kind of credit around BTC, though. I wonder which bank will seize it.

Let me add "online shops which sell digital goods". It's much harder for Dell and Amazon, since they can't pay their suppliers with BTC. If there's a need for a conversion, accepting BTC as a payment instantly gets more difficult.

The blocksize debate is only one side of the problem, which BTC's scalability. They've just been highlighted earlier this month with the stress tests which slowed many transactions. I understand it's difficult to find a solution, but a solution needs to be found. The problem will only get worse with time.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'll probably get a BTC card someday, but I guess I'll wait a little till the fees get lower, and the yearly limit gets higher. €250 or even €2500, that's not much!

Focusing on BTC, I'm not sure what that means. Since I see BTC as a currency, that would mean like focusing on $ or € and I don't see many people being successful with that. You can only focus on a business, and frankly I hope there will never be a successful BTC-based business. I want BTC to be successful, not a few fat cats in London, or in California.
I wish some clients would pay me with BTC, but that hasn't happened so far.

I didn't know that rushwallet service. Tell us more about it, and we'll try to help you understand what happened.
What was the transaction id? Which IP relayed it? It will be next to impossible to get your money back, but you should find data about the transaction used by the thief.

Is this legal in Florida?
That shop owner is taking a huge risk! I wonder what he'll do if he refuses to sell a gun to a muslim, and then that guy sues him for discrimination, and asks for $5 million in damages for emotional and mental suffering resulting from the denial of service.

I don't think tax evasion is possible in any developed country.
What are you going to do say when the bank sees you keep receiving money out of nowhere?
The only way would be to never leave the Bitcoin ecosystem, simple as that. Get paid in BTC, buy in BTC.
If you need fiat, i guess the best way is still Localbitcoins IRL transaction.
My friend, I'm afraid you have little imagination. There are smart guys in London, Paris, Berlin and Geneva. Just like everywhere on this planet. I know that well... Maybe in North Korea, it's different, but I guess there isn't much private business down there. |

Yes, that's quite true. Many people in China depend on American consumers buying the stuff they're manufacturing in their factories, and the same goes for German luxury car makers. It's not a life and death dependency, but the world would face a strong recession if the US were to be wiped off the map.
You just have to look at the share of a country in global trade.

Right now, if a miner sees a transaction with a 0.00001 BTC fee, he has little motivation to let it through. He'll likely wait for another transaction with a 0.0001 BTC fee. If tomorrow, BTC skyrockets, the motivation to let transactions with a small fee pass will grow just as well.
Competition is also at play. Some miners may reject small transactions, while some others would be happy with them.

That would mean the end of BTC. It's the best side of BTC. It isn't related to any country or even a place anywhere. More and more people don't have a national currency (in Europe, or in Africa), and that's good, even with flaws in most common currencies.
