21  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why most people would like to travel around the world? on: May 23, 2018, 09:55:19 PM
Hi all,

talking with other people and reading forums around i have realized that the majority of the people dream to could travel around the world .
Many people also dream to get paid to travel e.g. as a photographer or something similar.
At the same time most of these people have not experienced  this thing they dream of or they have experienced it for a small time e.g. vacations.

Well, having done a job where i had to travel around the world for several years and i was getting paid (i was a skipper) i do not think that it is so nice after all.

It is very tiresome to be all the time somewhere else , not having people that they love you / know you , around you not having roots in short words.

So i wonder . Why so many people dream about traveling? Is it from ignorance? Is it because they cannot understand how tiresome it can be? or is it because they do not value enough their home and family/relatives/friends ? or something else?

Thank you for your time reading this.

Regards.

I understand everything you say but you're missing the point.
People like to travel because they want to experience something new, see some beautiful faraway country and get away from their ordinary everyday routine.
That means that the majority want's to go on holiday, few weeks tops, not on a permanent basis.
Going on frequent business trips is very tiresome and exhausting.

how can i easily master photoshop?
Easily?
No way.
Lots of tutorials online and e-books can help but you'll need a professional help if you wan't to make money.

are you trading everything you own every day?
it's up to you how far you go to secure your funds, just don't be disappointed if something happens and you knew you didn't take the full security measures :/

With half of it.  Grin
It's true what are you saying but it shouldn't be that way.  Grin
I hope they invent some easier and more secure way soon.

Its quite unfortunate that the independence and freedom of Bitcoin has earned it association with criminal activities, Bitcoin doesn't chose who uses it and what they use it for,It just performs its duty and that's it, with o without Bitcoins, criminals would still find a way of perpetration their activities, as they have been doing long before BTC,can therefore not beheld accountable for the activities of the outlaws, Its just a medium of transaction

The most crimes in the world are financed with $ and I don't see $ slowing down because of it.
$$$ don't shoot people, people shoot people (with $$$).  Grin

I guess you can't really protect yourself from this things.

Yes, you can. The OP cites exchange hacks/collapses specifically -- you can protect yourself from those by not storing money on exchanges. When you want to sell, withdraw the fiat money immediately.

Most of your coins should be in cold storage. No online connection makes hackers and malware less of an issue. Encrypted wallets on flash drives and paper wallets are common methods for storage. Be sure to make multiple backups and keep them safe from the elements.

But what are the odds that you get scammed? That would be interesting to know.
By the way it's interesting site. Will definitely read all of it.

The biggest pitfalls are social engineering and phishing attacks. If you are good at recognizing suspicious emails, etc. and you don't download untrusted files or visit risky websites, it's pretty unlikely you'll fall prey to a malware attack.

Yes I get your point but aren't cold storage and paper/hardware wallets good for long term investing or hodling and not for trading?
Isn't that too much of a hassle for a daily trader?
Also shouldn't phishing/suspicious e-mails/etc. be resolved on some systematic level? I mean if your antivirus can block connection to some bad site, why can't yahoo or gmail do the same for e-mails? They already know what's written inside of your mail and they can scan for malware-ous links.

People care to much about criminals using bitcoins and i don't understand why, If there was no bitcoin, they would use the dollar, euro and other types of currencies.

And everything would be the same.
This kind of discussions are pretty useless.
You can't blame the tool (BTC) for some person's actions.
28  Economy / Speculation / Re: Has Bitcoin reached its goal? on: May 18, 2018, 08:02:00 PM
there is a simple explanation for it, people don't care about altcoins!

But people DO care about alcoins when they invest in them.
Of course it all lasts until they sell.

29  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Criminals and Bitcoin on: May 17, 2018, 06:08:50 PM
Well you can't regulate how/for what purpose bitcoin is being used or by whom is being used.
You can't blame bitcoin for it being used by criminals for criminal activity.
Although it is understandable that money trails get criminals caught in many cases but with Bitcoin that's much harder.

A true, real crypto bank is what's currently slowing down the mass adoption. There have been many ICOs who will try to change that, but they are yet to come up with the real product. It will not be easy to beat the banks in their game.
31  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a chance Satoshi is dead? Car accident, heart failure, ect on: May 10, 2018, 10:59:52 AM
I guess time will tell. We all know some of his public addresses..if some of the btc moves, we will know he's still alive. I personally think he cashed out millions and is now enjoying his life away from media attention.
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Blockchain Survive Without Bitcoin on: May 09, 2018, 09:54:10 AM
I think yes. Technically speaking, there are better and faster cryptocurrencies than bitcoin. It's the blockchain technology that counts, not any particular coin. So, yes, it's possible for some other well established coin to replace btc in the long run. But that's not happening anytime soon.
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How well does Bitcoin function as a currency? on: May 08, 2018, 09:59:49 AM
It will take some more time before btc is recognized a real currency. As of now, it's just a store of value, which is totally fine. I don't mind btc being recognized as only a store or value..just look at gold.
34  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can FUD destroy bitcoin? on: May 07, 2018, 10:52:52 AM
How many FUD periods has btc survived? Countless! If anything, FUD will make it stronger and allow for better btc distribution. It will go from weak to strong hands, which is better for its future.
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can government destroy Bitcoin? on: May 04, 2018, 11:32:27 AM
They can't ban crypto completely. Even if all banks ban crypto related  transactions, people will always find means to buy btc directly from other people. This will have massive negative impact on crypto and slow down its adoption. But no, they can't totally destroy it.
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does bitcoin pose a threat to banks? on: May 03, 2018, 11:48:52 AM
Short term answer is NO because you need money to buy crypto and you need banks to deposit money onto exchanges. Long term answer is YES because once btc gets global mass adoption you will need less and less money to buy everyday stuff. Basically, people will stop using standard money because you will have the ability to buy pretty much anything with btc. But that's not happening anytime soon.
37  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lay claims to the money on: May 03, 2018, 11:25:15 AM
In theory, yes. But there is no way government can know how you got the money if you buy crypto using localbitcoins for example. On the other hand, if you buy crypto using regulated routes like exchanges, then yes...it is a possibility.
