but still i am hopeful and confident that the price of bitcoin is going to increase more and more and hope that very soon the price of bitcoin will cross 2000 USD just in few months the price of bitcoin will be trading above 2000 USD level.

When you post such outrageous claims, then you should accompany that with some concrete proof. Give some reason why you think that the prices will top $2,000. There should be some trigger, such as the ETF listing or government recognition.

I prefer gold. It is not only possible to hold in hands, but you always know that you will not remain without money. It always has a residual value. Bitcoin can disappear and you will remain penniless.

Every asset has its own advantages and disadvantages. With gold also, there is a very very small chance that it will become worthless almost overnight. Imagine a scenario in which a very large meteorite full of gold striking the earth. There will be so much gold that the price will crash to near-zero levels within a few hours.

Even if Musk spends a lot of money on the Mars colonization, I am sure he will eventually reap the rewards, I believe Mars is filled with precious gems and they will mine these which will turn make a very good profit for Elon Musk and his company. I think he should take the initiative and reap the rewards.

He will never get a profit out of space mining. Although the diamond market is worth some $80 billion, only 5% to 10% of that actually end up with the raw diamond producers. The remainder gets eaten up by the middlemen and the jewelers.

Isis are payed to do terrorism they pay for 10,000 Dollar or maybe more.
According to the defense experts, the ISIS is having a defense budget running in to billions of USD (now there is a slight dip due to drop in crude oil prices). And you are claiming that they will do terror acts for just $10,000?
yes its billions and not 10k$

I am not sure about their latest budget, but in 2015, they had a budget amounting to $2 billion. The revenues were mostly from the sale of crude oil and antiques, as well as from the slave trade and extortion. And there was a budget "surplus" of around $250 million.

21345  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you think about the housing price in China? on: March 27, 2017, 05:26:56 AM
In large cities, available space to build houses so declining home prices will rise, poor people will live in apartments and over time will be more renters because it will be further impoverishment of the people.

The population growth rate in China is not that high. But the demand for urban housing is increasing due to the migration from villages to the cities. But in due time, this will stabilize, as the immigrants from villages to cities (mostly job seekers) will be balanced by return-migrants (mostly retirees) who go back to their villages.

Turkey went a little loose with all those claims and threats. From this to letting a million of immigrants to the EU, and with Erdogan leading, it's gonna turn out to be just like in other muslim theocratic countries and we all know what that means.

Turkey is making all those threats because they know that they can afford to do so. If anyone in the European Union acts against them, then Turkey will send the next batch of Muslim immigrants to the EU.

It is better for them to create a separate country, so as not to interfere with normal living and not spoil their children's upbringing. They are already full in the media already. I would not want to have such parents.

This is the best solution. The LGBT activists are harassing normal heterosexual families with help from corrupt officials such as Brad Avakian, and in due time, this is going to provoke a very strong backlash from the people. It will be better for all the homosexuals to establish their own country (perhaps in Sweden or Saudi Arabia, the nations with the largest number of gays).

Those homosexuals that are harassing everyone, have nothing to do with the regular gay people. Of all gay, regular, peopel that I've talked to, no one wants those pride parades or any special treatment. Don't put those two groups in the same basket. The one that are pushing non stop are activists that are getting payed to do that, regular gay people don't give two sihts about those pride parades and whatnot, also 80% of all the people on those parades are heterosexual.

The activists are the biggest problem. They are trying to build a divide between the homosexuals and the heterosexuals. In the Western nations, the gays hardly face any harassment. Then why do they need these activists.

These people worked very hard and their condition is the result of their labors. We need to take an example from them. You can not approach the ocean of possibilities with a teaspoon and be content with the small when the whole world is at your feet.

Yes. Some of these inherited their wealth, but most of them worked hard to become rich. You need a combination of luck and hard work to become rich. Only 0.0000001% of the people will be blessed with this unique combination.
21349  Other / Off-topic / Re: Poll: Which religion is the best religion? on: March 27, 2017, 04:44:19 AM
Every individual will feel that his religion is the best religion but the fact is we also need to respect each and every religion as its not religion that is more important but its an humanity that will make an difference and you will find good and bad people in all religions so believe in humanity and not in religion.

The reason why people don't respect others beliefs is due to the clergy, who tell the adherents that those who belong to the other religions are bad. The religious leaders are responsible for 99% of the violence in this world.

It was clear that the protesters didn't enjoyed public support, even when the economy of the nation is in  a recession as a result of falling crude oil prices. These rallies failed to attract more than a hundred people.
21351  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How can terrorism be stopped on: March 27, 2017, 04:36:28 AM
I don't know Belarus' policies but I remember reading Bhutan have a no proselytizing policy despite ensuring freedom of religion. Bhutan probably only got off because it's so way off. I don't think those freeloaders would bother going up to the Himalayas to invade a country that won't give them welfare and probably fight them off. Otherwise they'd be "They're forbidding the entry of the religion of peace! There's only one way that they'd be Dar as-Salam!".

Somewhere I read that Bhutan is the last remaining Buddhist monarchy in the world (there are some other countries such as Thailand, but they are not absolute monarchies). And as far as I know, they have an extremely strict immigration policy.

Renewable Energy? The horse on a treadmill.    Cool

LOL. What about Uranium? IMO, Uranium is a renewable resource (as there are enough deposits to cover the current consumption levels for the next few thousand years), and it is very cheap as well.

I am sad that these guys were acquitted. Wildlife needs to be conserved, and the authorities were just doing their job. If these renegades have their way, then the wildlife in the United States will be destroyed.
21354  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate muslems? on: March 27, 2017, 04:18:47 AM
in some country moslem are minority, and majority in other country. its not about hate moslem, but oppression of majority to minority.

In none of the countries where the Muslims are a minority, they are being harassed. Obviously in some countries such as Myanmar and Sri Lanka, there are tensions between Muslims and Non-Muslims. But these tensions are a direct result of the provocations by Muslims.
21355  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How can terrorism be stopped on: March 27, 2017, 01:44:22 AM
There are two things needed to stop terrorism:
1. Everybody obey the Bible New Testament;
2. Everybody open carry guns, bigger guns, and lots of ammo.

Cool

Well, I have an even better solution. Just ban the entry of Muslims to your country. Have you ever heard about terrorist incidents in countries such as Belarus and Bhutan, where there are very few Muslims?

If scientist were able to make a solar cell with at least 70 percent of efficiency, It would solve the entire energy problems of the entire world. Cars will all switch to solar powered cars which will eventually help tackle global warming.

No. That will not solve the problem. They need to design solar panels which needs the minimum maintenance (especially in the desert areas such as Sahara, this is a big problem). Also, they need to increase the lifespan of these panels. Then they need to design special batteries, which can store the electricity generated by these panels.
It's not that simple, some companies that manufacture those kinds of solar cells has already achieved 70% efficiency, but the problem is, if they mass produce it, it's going to be really expensive and not practical for people to buy it. It's being researched still and hoping that a favorable material would overcome the challenges the solar panels it's facing.

One advantage with the solar panels is that the raw materials are easily available. But if the researchers can improve the lifespan of these panels, then it will be a huge boost to the proponents of the renewable energy.
21357  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: March 26, 2017, 02:45:30 PM
Due to the fact that price of bitcoin is not very stable, trade for this currency is quite risky. You need to have a large margin, and this is problematic in our time. Now bitcoin is at the stage of falling and therefore to get rich will not work.

I think that the situation now is much better than the one we had a few years back. In 2014 and 2015, the exchange rates were swinging by as much as 15% to 20% in a single day. Now the maximum 24-hour swing is 5%. This is an encouraging sign.
21358  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: March 26, 2017, 02:42:24 PM
Bravo, very easily explained. And I would have added that the difference between bitcoin and gold is that bitcoin is practically a wind in hands, and gold is material. And even if there is no Internet and electricity in the world or the country, then the owner of gold will feel happier and calmer.

It is true that you don't need internet and electricity to trade your gold. At the same time, even if you don't have these, then no one is going to steal your Bitcoins. Your coins will be in your wallet, and no one can take them. You just need a few KBs of bandwidth to trade them in the future.
21359  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Yeah, Obama tapped his phone. Nobody thought he'd win. Now the country is fukt. on: March 26, 2017, 02:37:52 PM
It's obviously his strategy to manipulate people and to show himself like ''victim'' of negative media and bad people.
What a joke!

Actually, Donald Trump IS a victim of negative media propaganda directed against him. And his victory in the 2016 United States presidential election is a valid proof to this claim, and it further shows that the majority of the American citizens side with him in his battle against the corrupt media. It is not Trump who is trying to manipulate people. It is the media which is doing that.

3 million more votes for hitlery. Go learn some basic maths.

x+3 > x

Trump won the eloctorate - he didnt got the majority vote.

If the election was held based on the popular vote, instead of the electoral vote, then there is a strong chance that Trump would have got more votes than Hillary. What happens in the deep blue states (such as California, Illinois, and NY) is that many of the Republican voters refrain from voting, as they know that there is no chance for a GOP victory there.

It's definietly good for you and I've heard many vegan meals taste great and you have all the energy.
I could stop eating cows and pigs, I wouldn't stop eating fish though.

Vegan meals can be quite tasteful, if you use the right ingredients and cook it in a proper way, just like many of the non-vegetarian meals. And there are a lot of vegan meals which are rich in protein, which allows you to skip meat altogether.
