From the point of view of 10 minutes interval for every transaction, I would be willing to part with $0.1, other than that, $0.01 is simply the best and that is what is inline with the whole ideology of Bitcoin - very cheaper transaction fee. The miners should be made to realize that they're in the business of mining not to recoup their investments with just one transaction. As with all properly businesses, profits definitely shows up in the long run. The high fees and now the preferential processing it has introduce, is a spoiler for Bitcoin and should be addressed before it takes us backward.

Well with time, you would get to know better! Faucets are okay as entry point into the cryptocurrency world, but subsequently a person needs to move on to more effective ways for gathering the coins, otherwise it would be difficult justifying the time spent online as those dust may not even be enough to pay for internet subscription, much more put something in your pocket. Time must be seen as money otherwise, one is simply missing the point.

Certainly the governments cannot have their cake and eat it! If they are bent on seeing Bitcoin as illegal, why would they be bothered to gain from it? They are interested in protecting their fiat currencies against Bitcoin, knowing fully well that Bitcoin stands better chance, so it is actually their funeral.

By the way, income tax isn't the only form of taxation governments imposes taxes on people, actually we are paying one form of tax or the other as we go about our daily lives, like consumption taxes, property taxes. The governments in fact, are their own problems, because putting the cart before the horse gets anybody nowhere!

Given that inflation is fast going double digits in most climes, it leaves the 3-5% yield per year dividend worthless and might actually end up in a loss. That is why consideration for investments in assets outside of government control like Bitcoin is now gaining much more attention. the inflation and devaluation that have become regular features with fiat currencies, is not known with Bitcoin.

I want to say you should erase the idea in your mind that those amounts you have been trading with are little and insignificant, because it simply wires you up psychologically to careless what step you take or the outcome. Actually there is a thin line between trading and gambling and one may never know the difference until they have lived in both worlds.

The step to learn is well worth all the time it may take, go to it with open heart and be willing to go extra miles, because it gets better with time and experience.

I must say it is the knowledge and skills that is needed most for a successful and profitable business, the knowledge can always bring the capital as is the case through signature campaign here, freelancing and other ways to raise some money. Having no dime in one's pocket should never be a big deal or dead end, when one is knowledgeable and skillful.

No that is far from the truth! The money exchange with Bitcoin is by far the simplest and cheapest. It doesn't take some business days to pull through and you can access the fund from just about anywhere in the world. The charges for using those cards is something to give another thought, because they usually eat real deep into the fund being transferred. WU and MG, might want to drag their feet because of the kill they are making from the exorbitant fees they charge, but as the adoption of Bitcoin spreads further, competition would force them to adjust or pack up.

No investment is without some risk and your being an expert does not totally remove the risk, so investing all the money you got might not be the wisest  business decision. What happens should the business fail? Did you even bother to diversify? If you run into some emergency and needs some fund urgently, what would you do?  Your best bet is to also set some funds aside, so you can easily reach it when you need it and not to have to dis-invest your investments or go looking for some loan.

As a matter of fact, what we should be saving are the proceeds of our investments and not our capital.

Those unscrupulous statements were made way back in April, 2016 and by now the poster must have swallowed his words over and over again, because not only is Bitcoin alive, it has been consolidating its stronghold as the future of money. Most people did not give Bitcoin any chance because of poor evaluation of its potentials and fear of what the governments might do. After all said and done to frustrate Bitcoin, it is rather gaining more admirers.

Something should be clear, there are now more people in possession of Bitcoin, meaning it is now more decentralized than it was few years back and in the light of that, the price can rightly be expected to be more stable and we may never get to see it falling helplessly as happened in times past.

I am of the opinion too that getting to know the number of people using Bitcoin is of little or no importance and even the figures suggested above would be wild off the mark because if the Bitcoin address is the parameter in use, how does it take care of the fact that one person can have as many addresses as possible. I personally have more than 10 Bitcoin addresses, so would that mean the addresses belongs to 10 persons?

In between those lines of text are the fact that there really is no free bitcoin, one must have something to offer in exchange. For instance verse knowledge is necessary to be able to make quality posts with signature campaigns same way experience and skills are inevitable to be able to make profit from the market as a trader. Let's not forget that time is money too!

I see your point, the rich should be made to pay more, but the reality on ground across all facets of life, seems to have suggested otherwise, so that what we have is the poor actually having to pay for the luxuries the rich enjoys. That is the kind of madness that is now a normality  with the society. 

In addition to that, any ICO offering to pay for its bounty with only its own coin instead of or with Bitcoin is susceptible to scam. No point participating in such campaigns and instead of investing in such ICOs, better to send the coins to some orphanage homes, where it would indeed bring smiles to people that genuinely need it.

Once upon a time, there was nothing like paper money, it was merely introduced to the society in much the same way, Bitcoin is being introduced now. So just give it time, people can always tell apart what is convenient, secured, little or no cost, a real store of value. By the way, those papers are just piece of papers backed by nothing.

Saving is very good, but leaving your money with some banks to hand you peanuts as interests is not it and should only be a choice for meeting daily and urgent needs. To that effect, only a small portion of one's money should be saved this way. I prefer to invest and save at the same time and we know Bitcoin, gold and Real Estate are good vehicles for that and their values most appreciates compared to deposits that sooner than later gets eaten up by inflation, devaluation, etc.

On the contrary, bitcoiners would be using them when for instance someone wants to remit his coins for dollars or any other form of money, so opting to do business with Bitcoin won't put them out of business, but playing the Ostrich would.

Then they would have lost their market share to those companies that saw the vision of Bitcoin and the easiest thing in life is not to unwittingly hand in your rightful position only to start fighting for it again from the bottom! They say, make hay, while the sun shines!!

The best way to invest is certainly not to look for other people's business to buy into, because that hardly give one good enough room to make positive contributions or criticize an obvious drift. It is much better to think out a solution to any one of the myriad problems facing people everywhere in the world and turn it to a business. So would say, it is very hard to come into the capital, but from experience I know the first and hardest thing isn't the capital, but the idea is.

With a good idea in place, the capital would most likely follow, because the idea alone is like a fire and won't allow one to sleep until it is made to manifest. It is rather unfortunate that, a number of people that have the capital, lack the idea what can be done with it.

Governments already see that suggestion as suicidal and would not be willing to touch it even from a mile, because with such backing, Bitcoin would become so formidable and valuable, all other form of money especially the fiat currencies would lose favor and value. I think the governments are helpless with Bitcoin, they can't frustrate it and yet they can't approve of it. Actually it is interesting that things are the way they are, in the long run, it is sure to create a condusive global economy.

I see you are already a government mouth piece, but not all BTC companies are like Coinbase, that readily folds its tail in between its legs in servitude to the same modern slave masters than Bitcoin set out to liberate us from, likewise some merchants. You will do well to take this message to them - they woke up a little bit too late and Bitcoin is done washing their dirty linen in public. Bitcoin was not created for the fiat currencies instead from the word go, it was designed to be independent of governments and their agencies. That is where and when p2p actually resumes duty,

I don't see how the introduction of Bitcoin by Western Union or Moneygram can be said to be the promotion of competitors, rather it is the foot dragging of the above companies that is giving rise to start up companies that plan to fill the void. Essentially it is relatively easier, cost effective and almost instantaneous to do business with Bitcoin, which is a plus as far as international remittances is concerned.

In the light of that, remittance companies doing business with Bitcoin stand the chance of some added advantages over those doing business with just fiats.
