201  Economy / Economics / Re: I have 12 BTC in my Account, How should I invest this?? on: December 23, 2016, 05:44:59 AM
dude with 12 btc in hand dont invest in anything ,keep them in a cold storage and wait until the price of bitcoins goes high withim the next 10 years and sell them at  a high price ,so enjoy it and if possible earn through signature campaign which is more profitable .
The future is uncertain, especially when projections are made for long periods of time, such as ten years. I think holding the coins might be a good idea, but maybe it would be better to invest some of that. If a problem occurs with Bitcoin, you have better chances of avoiding large losses if you have greater diversity in your portfolio.
202  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Currency on: December 21, 2016, 06:23:44 PM
Bitcoin started out small but it has been growing ever since it is no longer confined to certain contries or areas it is going global. Soon bitcoin will be used all over the world.

Though it is already used all over the world and by people living in any country around the world, but for bitcoin to become global it should probably get legalized by the countries around the world so that it can be used anywhere like fiat, then we can call it a global currency.

I agree there are countries which they ban bitcoin for different reasons. Also there are countries which maintain a passive attitude "wait and see" and in their legislation is considered as an agreement between two parties and not as currency. So its not strange many people not use it because they believe it is illegal. Legalization and information are imo the main reasons to prevent the dominance of bitcoin globally.
The fact that there are countries taking such a move is a sign that Bitcoin has the potential to be a better option than fiat currency, and many people are starting to become aware of it. The result is being reflected in the market, with a growing demand for a limited quantity of Bitcoins in the market.
It may be a sign but it doesn't mean that Bitcoin is starting at any success anytime soon. There are a lot of things that have to be pushed through and having Bitcoin rapidly expand during this holiday season would have been huge, especially considering the global economy right now. More pushed have to be made and more people have to look to expand Bitcoin's acceptance so that we're able to really push forwards.
The problem is, that i see the price go up like crazy, but i do not see a real change in infrastructure. I do not see any improvements in transactions per second, the fees or more applications and places i can spend my coins. I think we can see an emotional high here and not much more. 
This is a valid observation. I don't know if the improvements to the Bitcoin network are going to be implemented soon or not, but there is a clear need for something to be done to make the user experience better.

Another important aspect is that if Bitcoin continues to increase in price, the media will begin to provide greater coverage, as occurred in 2013. This will require a stronger and more stable network to handle the greater traffic of users.

Make sure you have a job so you will have a steady income, having a business does not guarantee a stable income as it is base on the cash flow and profitability of your company, so just to be safe you work.
Well, have investments, or running a business will make getting revenue, but it would not guarantee whether it is a steady income or not. to get a steady income, you need full-time jobs, which provide your salary each month as your fixed income. you can increase the income by investing or making business.
Running a business in a planned way the individual, in fact, will have a good chance for a steady and possibly growing income over time. But this can be difficult for most people, because besides the fact that it requires a lot of effort and attention, it also requires an initial investment.

205  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: December 21, 2016, 03:20:00 PM
This is the reality bitcoin even without any update or improvement, is used as asset to store altcoins results, as well to try to get an extra income with it. I doubt some other currency can reach and replace bitcoin, even knowing there are some coins already improving a lot their coins to get bigger, instead start to loose power against bitcoin.
Yeah, there are hundreds of altcoins in the market, many of them try to improve something that developers see as a problem in Bitcoin, but while some things are improved, other problems come up that make these altcoins lose investors and market capitalization with certain ease. These are some of the reasons why it is risky market.
206  Economy / Economics / Re: I have 12 BTC in my Account, How should I invest this?? on: December 21, 2016, 02:47:46 PM
There are countless possibilities. If you ask me, I would not sell this too soon, nor would I trade for cheap alts. On the other hand, I would hold on for a while. There is also another possibility that does not require you to sell your coins, which is the lending business, but you need to acquire knowledge in the area before investing.
207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Good alt or stay away? on: December 21, 2016, 02:32:07 PM
Etherium is still good for investment as its price is on the uptrend again. Some predicts that this trend would continue next year.
A lot of gud exciting things coming to ETH next year, not least Metropolis, POS, sharding, etc.
Most of the opinions I see regarding switching to POS algorithm are negative comments. Will not this bring elements of centralization to the system? Why would this be good news?
208  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: December 21, 2016, 02:07:13 PM
Wow Look at the charts, this is getting interesting. I wonder what will happen if segwit is activated, but the percentage of blocks signaling support is still low, this seems uncertain to me. Good to see a positive traction, anyway.
209  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Be Honest. We Are Waiting for $100/BTC to buy on: December 21, 2016, 01:34:40 PM
And who would not want to have that opportunity? I think that will not be possible soon. The bitfinex hack was when Bitcoin dropped to a very low value, people who bought after such event did a good job because it will be difficult to buy so cheap again. The increase in mining costs, after the halving, contributes to the Bitcoin price increase and there is an active community that generates real demand.
210  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What Is Bitcoin Trading and Why It's risky? on: December 21, 2016, 12:17:03 PM
trading requires precision. we should be able to do a proper analysis. for people who can do the analysis of the trading is an easy job. we should really focus on trading system if we want to benefit.
Yes only with proper analysis, we can make the risky bitcoin trading into profitable. Usually technical analysis for trading needs some knowledge on the different trading tools and strategies. But now a days it will be easy to learn them using many youtube videos.
If we are ready to face the challenge of bitcoin trading then I guess it will not be risky but surely will be profitable.
In fact it is possible to learn a lot with easily accessible content, such as those found on youtube, reddit and here on the bitcointalk forum. But it may be possible to learn much more by putting everything into practice, taking all necessary steps to reduce the risks.
211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the main problems bitcoiners face? on: December 21, 2016, 10:42:34 AM
Right now the main problem i face is that the transaction takes too much time and it is really annoying , i do know what the real issue is but it has being an issue for a long time and i hope the developers will settle the issue as soon as possible.
Yes, the transaction is so competitive, who pay higher fee can complete the transaction faster. We need to wait atleast 10 minute for normal transaction. But I still loves bitcoin anyway. It is the best cryptocurrency.
the stakeholders should really take this matter seriously, people would just leving to use bitcoin as currency as a payment processor if the transaction take time longer , even if we compare to another online payment processor bitcoin are the fastest among them , it's still causing a bad impression for those people who just know bitcoin.
That's why I agree with the implementation of improvements like segwit, which will allow Bitcoin to scale efficiently, making life easier for users. With this implementation, different applications, such as lightning network, will also be possible, which will also make things better for users.
212  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is investing in mining still worth it? on: December 21, 2016, 09:43:20 AM
Mining is still worth it but the fact is that you should indeed not doing it anymore for the bitcoin itself its just not profitable anymore with it, for altcoins its pretty profitable if you are having some good mining equipment.
There are many variables that, depending on the miner's situation, may facilitate or hinder the process. There are factors related to equipment costs, maintenance, electricity, and other factors that some people ignore, such as equipment shipping costs. This means that those who live near suppliers, generally have a competitive advantage.
213  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you do when BTC shoots up? on: December 21, 2016, 08:32:47 AM
If the price touches $900-$1000, it would be nice to buy some more Bitcoins and hold them. But if its goes directly more than $1500-$2000, which is quite unnatural, I would sell some of my Bitcoins and watch over the price for few days to take some more actions.
Yeah, it would be interesting to see Bitcoin going up in price to such levels, but not in a quick pump, because a more gradual and stable price increase allows Bitcoin to rise with greater strength, with lower risks of big dumps. At least so far, I think Bitcoin is doing very well in the market.
214  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: December 20, 2016, 08:27:10 PM
The price of bitcoin really does matter to the people who has invested their money into mining and if you look at the large mining farms they are still active because the price keeps on increasing and with the heavy electricity bills involved in mining the charm would fade off once the price goes down and so the price of bitcoin is a real factor to be considered.
This is true, the cost of mining was already high before the halving, after the halving the cost increased even more. And given the increase in the number of users using the Bitcoin network, this requires greater hashpower support, so the network remains stable and usable.
215  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC at $1,000 by Christmas? on: December 20, 2016, 02:21:40 PM
everyone would expect the price of bitcoin will attain the following positions. but we can not confirm the price of bitcoin on Christmas. because at Christmas will be a lot of people who sell bitcoin. they do it to earn money holiday. it is a very reasonable thing.
Well, there will surely be people who will sell the coins on that day, many of them will certainly sell to buy gifts for others, but there are people who can also buy Bitcoin as a gift to other people, or for themselves, which by the way seems to be a good gift, and a good way to prepare for hard times.
216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AMP - The Currency That Powers Your Attention On Synereo on: December 20, 2016, 02:17:40 AM
Why don't the haters here invest in something truly revolutionary.
Like one of the hundreds of bitcoin clones that tries to replace fiat with an anarchist's currency LMAO
Yep. Good luck with that - I can totally see that working  Roll Eyes.
Seriously though, you're not invested in the project so kindly fuck off and support "zcash" or w/e other BS is out there LOL
Like, honestly, even if Synereo only has 1% chance of being successful in any regard, that's a full 1% higher chance than an anarchist's currency replacing fiat haha.
This is not very accurate. Anarchy is not Bitcoin's purpose. It does not work based on an anarchic model, it's more like a decentralized governance model, miners have a vote, and things only happen with a consensus. Take a look at segwit, for example.
217  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: December 18, 2016, 11:59:51 PM
Bitcoin begin to maintain stability in terms of market cap/price because investors realize now it's the safest crypto on the market today
Yeah, that's not too hard to see. I think the price may drop a bit by the next few days, but the bullish trend will be stronger after this. There are many economic variables in the scene that can contribute to Bitcoin reaching new levels, probably historical levels, at least that's what some experts say.
218  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: December 18, 2016, 11:55:51 PM
The cash can be used in only respective country but Bitcoin can be used Globally. Normally cash transfer to once city to other city is tough than transferring Bitcoin from one account to another account. Only benefit I see with cash that it does not require confirmations like Bitcoin transaction.
This is a very important aspect of this, while fiat currency has its use limited to the country where the currency is issued, Bitcoin eliminates such barriers, the individual really has more freedom, Bitcoin is the ideal currency for who need to travel constantly from one country to another, or for people who have family in other countries, and need to send money there.
219  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: December 18, 2016, 11:50:31 PM
In my opinion, taking loans is very risky. I believe that selling goods and services could be a better way to earn some money. If the individual stop to think, he/she will realize that there are usually many solutions that can be explored, especially in the internet business, just put the efforts in the right thing to do.
220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: December 18, 2016, 11:37:06 PM
There's no way to find to indicate the actual number of people using the Bitcoin. Rapidly changed using the internet and anyone can easily access.
Probably there are ways to get a good approximation for this, but the number of wallets in Blockchain is not the best way to get this number, since many users have multiple wallets, and many services create a very large number of wallets. I believe that surveys and statistical analysis would be necessary.
