Not sure him Being dead will do anything for their freedom. His brother is still in charge.

And after his brother, his son will be made the leader. Fidel Castro spent millions of USD every year to lead a luxurious lifestyle, when ordinary Cubans were struggling to feed themselves. Fidel Castro was a clone of Kim Jong Il.

From the first I did not like to put their money and assets in one place, I'd be for that person's opinion though not lucrative, bitcoin is very good made investments, but I'm not going to put my money only in the bitcoin, maybe in 5 place: land, property, vehicles, gold, and bitcoin.

What is the difference between land and property? Both can be included as real estate.

Ideally you should diversify your investment to include equity and bonds as well. Jewelry is another attractive option. But from your list, I would omit vehicles. The value of vehicles depreciate every year, and I would never consider it to be an investment asset.
24083  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin had a stable price, would it still be as popular? on: November 25, 2016, 08:53:29 AM
IMO, if Bitcoin has a stable price, then it will be even more popular than it is now. The volatility of the exchange rates are forcing vendors to use third party payment processors such as Bitpay and Coinbase, which increases the expenses. If the exchange rates are stable, then the vendors will be able to directly accept Bitcoin payments.
24084  Economy / Economics / Re: Long term OIL on: November 25, 2016, 08:50:25 AM
LOL.... the brent crude prices are declining once more, after the talks between Russia and the OPEC failed. These people need to understand that OPEC and Russia no longer have a monopoly on this. Right now, the biggest players are the American frackers.
24085  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: November 25, 2016, 08:47:57 AM
I am unable to save a significant number of coins. The few mBTCs which I earn every week from sig campaigns and other sources are immediately spend on paying utility bills and for other expenses. But still, I hope that I will be able to save a small number of coins in the future.
24086  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin fees, where's your limit? on: November 25, 2016, 08:44:18 AM
I am OK with transaction fees of up to 0.50% of the total amount. And right now, the average tx fee seems to be much lower than that amount. But still, I am worried about the future. Just hoping that the fees will remain stable in the future as well.
24087  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India is Paying $900+ for Bitcoin Amid Cash Crisis on: November 25, 2016, 08:38:57 AM
When a country takes such hilarious and odd decisions then the population suffers. I have seen some friends buying bitcoins for over 900$ its actually around 60000 INR which means around $950 per bitcoins. The demand is more insane for cash deals.

How the cash deals can go forward, when the country is facing an acute shortage of banknotes? If you are suggesting that the buyer is purchasing the coins in exchange for the now-defunct ₹500 and ₹1,000 notes, then this is almost certain to cause issues to the seller. 
24088  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: November 25, 2016, 08:35:32 AM
I don't think the law can catch up to the illegal things that happen around with Bitcoin. For example hyip site owners can run a new site and yake all your money and will not be caught with it. And I don't think the FBI or any in position are currently concentrating on Bitcoin in particular for now.

The FBI is closely monitoring the usage of Bitcoins. The arrest of Burt Wagner, and the seizure of his funds points towards that. Remember that Wagner was not involved in any sort of illegal activity. He was arrested just for using Bitcoins.
24089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: November 25, 2016, 08:32:41 AM
Those who are engaging on illegal activities by the use of bitcoin they are just putting themselves in danger. Bitcoin will having a negative mark regarding that once their government knows about it and for sure it is highly possible to ban btc in their country by the government.

Physical cash is the most common medium for purchasing hard drugs, firearms and other contraband in many of the countries. Did that lead to the banning of physical cash by the governments?
24090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This man sells his cattle for Bitcoin in Zimbabwe! on: November 25, 2016, 08:27:43 AM
Considering the current state of affairs in Zimbabwe, I should warn this guy against giving any sort of publicity for the sale. Considering the string of asset forfeitures going on in Zimbabwe, I wouldn't be much surprised if the government try to seize his coins. 
24091  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin highest price was $1109 on: November 25, 2016, 08:24:11 AM
I have seen somewhere in Bitcointalk that $1,261 per coin is the highest exchange rate Bitcoin ever achieved versus the USD (in Mt Gox). But there are certain complexities in accepting this, as it is well known that Mt Gox rigged the order book to inflate the exchange rates.
24092  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Would you eat a human? on: November 25, 2016, 08:20:25 AM
no, people do not eat each other.humans were created to help each other / social beings.

Get yourself educated. Humans were not "created". They evolved out of the already existing living things. It is shocking that, at this age, there are people who still believe in this stupid creation theory. Perhaps, this can help:

We have to save the world. We have to do something now. Governments are destroying our world, until now. I hope with Trump's election will something start to change. The world must be saved now, not only financially but also environmentally.

LOL... Trump's election is going to be more detrimental to the cause. He has already said that he will remove most of the environmental regulations. Also, he is in favor of mountain top removal and coal mining. And above all, he is really doubtful about the human-induced climate change.
24094  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ahrar al-Sham and Jaysh al-Islam are Good Terrorists. on: November 25, 2016, 05:43:56 AM
Some of these "moderate" terrorist groups are even more barbaric than the ISIS. I just can't understand how the United States can support such groups. Also, many of these groups are selling their American weapons to the ISIS.
24095  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ethnic cleansing in Donbass 360 Degree Tour on: November 25, 2016, 05:41:00 AM
The Kiev junta has been hit hard by the election of Trump as the POTUS. So before he takes charge in January 2017, you can expect all sort of provocations from the neo-Nazi paramilitaries and their backers in Kiev.
24096  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump Picks Anti-Encryption Attorney General on: November 25, 2016, 05:38:35 AM
Jeff Sessions is best known for his vocal opposition towards the illegal immigrants. And that is the main reason why Trump selected him as the Attorney General. If Sessions push too hard with his anti-encryption policies, then Trump will replace him.
24097  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Should the United Nations send inspectors to America to help Indians on: November 25, 2016, 05:36:14 AM
Obama did it for the blavks

Obama has done absolutely nothing for blacks, he only played the race card when it was election time. America is more racially divided than it has been for decades. We have basically been set back to the 60's.

I will agree with you on that. Obama was a puppet of the Clinton crime family and Soros. He couldn't do anything for the African Americans, because he was too busy playing golf. Right now, the blacks are much worse off than they were in 1992.
24098  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Israel on Fire on: November 25, 2016, 05:32:58 AM
They are enormous economic and environmental damages. What makes me sadder when I hear news about forest fire is knowing that 90% of the cases originate in human acts. People responsible for forest fires are not aware that they are endangering populations and property. They are destroying unique species.

Forest fires can occur anywhere. But yes.. if arson is the reason behind these fires, then the perpetrators must be severely punished. Because previously, firefighters have lost their lives trying to put down the flames.
24099  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Remittances Using Bitcoin on: November 25, 2016, 05:23:44 AM
No Logic at all.
1.Your location doesn't matter for the purchase.
2.Localbitcoins wallet isn't based on locations either.
3.Just NOPE.

You are mistaken. Location matters for most of the Localbitcoin purchases. Especially, if you want to use local bank transfer to buy/sell bitcoins. Also, if you are outside India, I don't know how can you trade in INR.

There's no perfect crime in this world and there's no secret that will not be known, using bitcoin to transact for illegal activities will only increase your chances of being caught but it would not guarantee you are safe with what you are doing.

If you use physical cash for an illegal transaction, then the chances of law enforcement officials tracing you sometime later is close to zero. But if you use Bitcoins, there is always a small chance, as all the transactions are stored in blockchain. Therefore IMO, Bitcoin is not as anonymous as physical cash.
