201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can Africans benefits from Blockchain technology? on: October 29, 2017, 08:51:41 PM
I saw an African exchange the other day, and the homepage of that website is one of the best I have ever seen. Shocked
202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some government ban bitcoin? on: October 29, 2017, 08:51:13 PM
Governments are supposed to control. They write laws. It is what they do. Unfortunately, sometimes they get it wrong.
203  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reasons Why Bitcoin Price Drops on: October 29, 2017, 08:49:00 PM
I think drama and forks cause the price to stagnate, and drop. Also, FUD like the recent stuff we saw with JP Morgan and China does not help.
204  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin replace gold? on: October 29, 2017, 08:48:00 PM
No. No. No. No. No. There is no way Bitcoin will replace physical Gold. It would mean gold would be worthless, and if Gold becomes worthless and BTC is based off of it, or called "virtual gold", I am pretty sure this will have a negative effect on it.
205  Other / Off-topic / Re: What wallets do you use? on: October 29, 2017, 08:45:14 PM
I only use 1 wallet for Bitcoin, and that is Blockchain.info ... and I use paper wallets for cold storage!
206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Satoshi Nakamoto Alive on: October 29, 2017, 08:27:55 PM
We don't have any clear evidence Satoshi is still alive. He banned himself from this forum and haven't express his voice for a very long period of time...
I think he himself might have understood the reality of being known to the world. Then the system might have not developed and started to function in the similar way. Importantly the innovation that he made is very young of less than tens years of existence. So, he'll be living a live and not dead.

Just because Bitcoin has only been around for less than 10 years doesn't mean Satoshi is still alive. He could have been an old man and passed away by now, or even young and died of unnatural causes. Tongue
207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction acceleration on: October 22, 2017, 06:37:15 PM
The transaction is normally fast, for the delay in transaction to occur it may be due to slow internet facility or you check your broswer and also refresh your computer.

Dude this post is absolutely ridiculous. You are only posting to increase your count, which is fine but you need to post good information, not bullcrap like this.
208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin.org or btc.com ? on: October 22, 2017, 06:35:42 PM
I will stay with the original Bitcoin (bitcoin.org). I agree that scalability issue is a bit made up right now. Bitcoin wasn't designed for small purchases. It is great for bigger payments, especially between people who aren't from the same country. After introducing SegWit transactions are already fast and cheap (even thought there's only 10% SegWit addresses adaptation) so why would we increase the block size limit to 8 MB?

The thing is people also said this about the internet before it became mainstream. Back in the 1980's people did not think of the internet like it is today, but rather only big corporations would own websites and people would visit and shop on them, but these days everyone can have their own website, and I think Bitcoin should be the same.
209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How ATM bitcoin work??? on: October 22, 2017, 06:33:50 PM
A Bitcoin ATM allows you to buy and sell Bitcoin quickly and conveniently and also anonymously just like a credit card ATM, but only for Bitcoin instead.
210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Somebody should make a movie about Satoshi on: October 22, 2017, 06:22:05 PM
I think a solid film about Bitcoin and crypto could be made already, but the problem is no one actually knows much about Satoshi, therefore it is kind of pointless because the main character is still a mystery.
211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My one bitcoin and forks on: October 22, 2017, 06:21:21 PM
If you have a wallet that support that fork, than yes, you will have the new BTC in your wallet( There might be also tutorials to how extract it from your wallet). But you have to know that the forked coins won't have the same value of the original BTC, and they could lose their potential soon.

Chances are that most wallets do not support the forks though. You need to do some research to find which ones will work and which ones won't and then transfer over your Bitcoins before October 25th or even 24 or 48 hours before, to be safe and get your free money.
212  Economy / Economics / Re: Would a global disaster increase or decrease the Bitcoin value ? on: October 22, 2017, 06:19:40 PM
I think the opposite of most people here - a global disaster would increase Bitcoin value. Firstly, there would be countries where the local currency becomes worthless and the population turn to Bitcoin (like Venezuala now). Secondly, lots of people would go on the move - refugees - and the easiest way to move money from one country to another is Bitcoin (you certainly don't want to be carrying gold).

I think the same, and am not sure why others feel it would drop the price. In my opinion, the price will increase because Bitcoin will still exist on nodes around the world whereas many banks would be closed and fiat would become harder to use and lose its value for sure.
213  Economy / Economics / Re: Idea for stable-value cryptocurrency without centralized authority! on: October 22, 2017, 06:12:28 PM
Some people are saying Bitcoin is becoming centralized because of SegWait, although I do not know enough about the technology to really comment on much detail about that.
214  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptopsycology - Is Bitcoin/Cryptos changing your psychology? on: October 22, 2017, 05:46:52 PM
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is definitely changing my psychology. How could it not? When you spend each day checking the BTC price many times and thinking about it, of course your psychology would change about money a lot from before.
215  Economy / Economics / Re: Why economists say Bitcoin a bubble on: October 22, 2017, 05:45:50 PM
Economists say Bitcoin is a bubble, because it is. Have you checked the price chat recently? Bitcoin is going through the roof and is bound to crash at any time. I give it a month at most.
216  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: October 22, 2017, 05:44:56 PM
Sure it does. The price of Bitcoin is a significant indicator of how valuable it is considered to be on a global scale. If the price was still low, people would not be taking it as seriously are they are now. Tongue
217  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: October 15, 2017, 02:24:45 AM
Considering how many Bitcoin businesses there are, and internet marketers who work for it, and people who get paid in it... this is common sense that unemployment gets reduced.
218  Economy / Economics / Re: Does this mean Cash will be extinct? on: October 15, 2017, 02:22:27 AM
If cash goes extinct, it will not be for at least another century. There are lots of kids who will be raised on it and want to continue using it.
219  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you ever think on: October 15, 2017, 01:44:47 AM
I think you do not know enough about crypto and exchanges. There are plenty of exchanges which you can invest into many coins like NovaExchange has hundreds of coins.
220  Other / Off-topic / Re: Should I Go To College ??? on: October 15, 2017, 01:35:15 AM
My personal experience for hiring developers is self taught ones is always by far better than the ones that has a degree. So for me as employer degree is more a minus then a plus. Also in modern world it is possible and even easier to learn almost anything (except the things that require some expensive infrastructure or heavily regulated by state) by yourself or with more modern learning places (such as online courses, hackathons etc). And I'm not even talking about indoctrination for specific ideologies that is taking place in academia instead of actually learning something.

Yeah man I learned how to code websites on my own and I think it took way less time tan if I was to learn about it in college because most of the time is just sitting around not learning or learning too slow with other people when you can learn by yourself it is much faster and easier.
