2761  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Bitcoin Survey - heir of the Simulacrum one on: January 22, 2017, 04:35:12 AM
I like how numerous "scientists" and students casually drop by here from time to time. Leave us some survey and then disappear forever.
haha. that is so funny. I sometimes see that students you are talking about. after all I wonder how the result was. I hope this one will give us a result.

well let's see the survey.

anyway OP, what major are you? is this for your undergraduate study , postgraduate or what?
2762  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are campaigs only the major source for earning BTC ? on: January 22, 2017, 04:27:29 AM
There are many ways to earn Bitcoin. The signature campaign is simplest way and does not insist on specific skills. Trading is a good opportunity, but there you have a risk and is not that simple.
In Altcoin section, you have lot of new projects and you can find good options for invest
you can always sell for bitcoin some of their services here
signature campaign does not insist on a skill, but it requires a knowledge because you cannot post something when you do not know what the topic being talking is.

beside that signature campaign is the transparant way to earn bitcoin you can see in this forum. you can earn bitcoin by trading, mining, but you cannot see the ways here.
2763  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One of Bank's Services in Future Will be Keeping Private Keys for Customers on: January 22, 2017, 04:17:58 AM
Because keeping private keys (by yourself) is troublesome, one of bank's services in the future will be keeping private keys for customers. They won't need to create their own currencies if they can convert enough of the population over using this system.

The customer visits bank and is provided a "bank account" which is a managed address on the bitcoin blockchain. The customer can still have personal addresses, but this address will be secured and guaranteed by the bank and have attached banking services.

I agree that a few people cannot take care their own private keys, but trusting banks to save copy of your private keys is terrible. you know, when banks save your fiat, they lend it to the other people and get interest. I think they would do the same thing. and that's against bitcoin rules.
2764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Do Use/Spent Bitcoin ? on: January 22, 2017, 02:27:31 AM
I gamble with bitcoins, I play poker and casino games like slots, roulette, bj sometimes. It's what I like to do and when I make something more I cash out. Everyone choose their own way of earning or spending bitcoins, I don't think anyone can tell you what to do with your own money.

a few people do gambling to earn more bitcoins, but I think it will spend coins more than earn them.

I myself just convert my coins to fiat when I need money to buy things. easy peasy jappaneesee.
2765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin would split, where would you move your Money? on: January 22, 2017, 02:13:02 AM
as usual. I will keep some money on bitcoin and some on fiat.

if this stuff would be worse, I think saving bitcoin in my wallet until the thing is good again is better than buying another coins unless I have some needs on it.
2766  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do you hear about Bitcoin ? on: January 17, 2017, 11:10:23 PM
I took part in the money I earned with bitcoin a month, and today I want to do an article about it.

1. Bitcoin friends participated in how long?

2. Do you know who it is?  Your friends? Your colleagues?

3. You want to know about his money, or just for fun

Your comments, we can communicate together

I hope you are not going to do this article in English, because you clearly have a huge problem with it. < Do not want to sound like a typical Grammar Nazi, sorry > Let's start with this, " What is the title of your article? "  I have a difficult time understanding what you want to write about? It sounds like you are gathering stories on how people started out with Bitcoin and how they involved their friends? Give us some more detailed questions, then we might just give you better answers. ^smile^

that was what I thought. I actually did not really understand what OP is asking about. but after reading his explanation, I think you are right that he is asking for our stories.

well I knew bitcoin from a friend in 2014. probably in April. but I was really into it by the end of 2014.

sorry that's the only answer I can provide because I do not understand the last question hehe
2767  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: January 17, 2017, 10:51:11 PM
Just recently got into BTC; I have 2.5 saved up.
Plan on taking 25% of each of my paychecks and accumulating and seeing what will happen in 2017 or later in the year.

Thoughts? Ideas? Speculation? Advice? Tips?

 Huh

It is 2017 now and the price was great in the initial year. well I think you need to keep saving your bitcoin until the next few years. let's say 3-5 years.


I myself never saved my bitcoins because I need it to fulfill my monthly needs. but I plan to save it too.
2768  Economy / Economics / Re: If bitcoin price is $10.000, will fiat be worthless? on: January 17, 2017, 10:48:10 PM
I think the price of bitcoin will not affect the fiat. Even the price of bitcoin reach $100,000, the fiat still the same. But itf the bitcoin price is $10,000 or more, it will attract more people to use bitcoin, because it's really high price for a coin and maybe fiat user will change into bitcoin.

that is right. bitcoin market cap is tiny, probably around 0.1% while fiat marketcap can be 5% or even 30%. so it does not make sense that bitcoin price of $10,000 will affect fiat. but I do not know whether it will affect fiat when the price is $100,000
2769  Economy / Economics / Re: $1100 to $750 is significant on: January 17, 2017, 10:43:11 PM
In a price range such as this I was curious how most of you hold/trade your asset. Such as just hold and never sell, position trade based on price and or swap currencies through an exchange for another and or cash out.

I also want to save my bitcoins , but for now I cannot do that. because I need to fulfill my daily needs and school needs where I live myself far from my family.

I hope I also can save my bitcoin in the near future so I can get profit from it.
2770  Economy / Economics / Re: I have 12 BTC in my Account, How should I invest this?? on: January 17, 2017, 10:40:40 PM
Advice, tips, speculation please.

If i had 12 bitcoin my investment would just be to hold them for at least 10 years.  get your self a good hardware wallet or make up some secure paper wallets put them away and forget about it.  the history of giving your bitcoin to someone else in hope of a greater return is not good, dont do it.

i did invest a little in of mine in satoshidice and did make a profit, but i wouldn't put in anymore than you would be willing to lose.

I think saving all those 12 bitcoins is not very good strategy. who do not divide it? 70% for saving and 30% for a business. I mean, we do not know how bitcoin will run in the next ten years, at least he has saving on business and he can use it when he need money.
2771  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: January 17, 2017, 10:36:07 PM
I would like to know if anyone of you earns 0.1 BTC per week or even more? Is this possible and what is best way to earn it? Your experiences, suggestions and advices are very welcomed.

well I myself never earn that high amount in a week. but I ever find a job where you can earn more than 0.1/week. but you need skill as a programmer because you will be required to make a program or renew the program. I am so sorry for forgetting the link.
2772  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin User Poll #2 - Location - Where y'all from? on: January 17, 2017, 10:29:31 PM
nice project. hopefully this project will bring benefit to me too.

well I see the highest voting for now is North America and Europe. that is nice to know that. but I think you need to be more specific in the poll.
I myself from Indonesia
2773  Economy / Economics / Re: Difference of Trading and Investing? on: January 17, 2017, 10:20:58 PM
as far as I know, investing is you save your money on a company or on a business and then you will get the profit in a particular period of time. so you need to wait to get profit. while trading is you sell kinds of coins on market and you can get profit in a shorter time than investing. but it depends on your strategy, how long you will save your money on the market and sell it.
2774  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we make more money? on: January 17, 2017, 10:10:43 PM
What are the things to do to succeed in trade?
Learn the strategy, or you can ask for strategy from those who are successful in trading

What are you doing to make your business bigger?
I pray and work hard. it's the golden way.

How can we make more money?
[/quote]
pray and work hard. besides, you need to do something great that you will make more money when you do the job. just like programmer. I see the income is high.
2775  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the price of Bitcoin change more than traditional currencies? on: January 17, 2017, 10:07:35 PM
Another reason why Bitcoin change more than traditional currencies is due to it's preceived store value.  Bitcoin has properties that maybe similar to gold.  Since the developer of the core technology limit the production to a fixed amount of 21 million and differs to fiat currency which is managed by government to maintain low inflation,as economies built with fiat currencies show signs or weaknees and  Investors may invest more or less into bitcoin.

I think so. because of the limitation of bitcoin, it makes the price does not stable. so when there are a lots of demands and people buy and sell using bitcoin, the price will increase and so the opposite.

while traditional currency is probably controlled by a community, but bitcoin is controlled by bitcoin users.
2776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Confirmation Time is now not a problem at local shops. Buy without any wait on: January 17, 2017, 12:40:20 PM
No vendor is going to let you leave until they actually have the money in their wallet, which means waiting until the transaction has at least a few confirmations.
If bitcoin can come up with some solution for this, it would make it possible to spend in real time in stores.

Unfortunately, for now, this means relying on third-party solutions.
However, even an established company providing escrow by means of prepaid credit cards might be enough to persuade shop owners to accept the payments.

probably that's right. when the vendors do not really understand the idea OP mentioned, or in other words the confirmation system, they maybe not accept this way. just make sure first the vendor understand OP's idea before do such thing.

however, in order to avoid double spending too, I think we still need the other idea.
2777  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin saving on: January 17, 2017, 11:58:47 AM
Is anyone in here familiar with the 52 weeks money challenge?
Since it is new year I've decided to take that challenge as a refresher and to try if I can save money using that pattern.
Question now is do you think saving with bitcoin will work? I you are familiar with the 52 week challenge it is where your daily deposit in your saving will have an increament of which amount you started in week one. Since bitcoin is so volatile do you think i'll save more if it is in fiat or in bitcoin?

Never heard about it. but I myself usually save my money on my own "bank"

well, if you want to save in bitcoin or fiat, I will say it depends on your needs. bitcoin price always changes, so if you want to save in a long period of time, it will be good to save bitcoin.
2778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if BTC was Banned? on: January 17, 2017, 11:47:19 AM
Bitcoin cant be banned and it work out.

Only the exchanges and centralized services can be attempted to be shut down.



yeah, that's right. probably OP means by "banned" is not accepted as a legal currency by all countries.
well, if it would happen, probably bitcoin community will keep using bitcoin and sell stuff that accept bitcoin as payment, just like this time.
2779  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin sponsors in the White House?! on: January 16, 2017, 11:39:54 PM
Bitcoin sponsors and White House in the same sentence don't go well with each other. People related to Bitcoin working with governments has only one objective, helping with possible regulations, so there's no "sponsorship".

My thoughts are that it might get discussed in congress or something similar and the newly elected president won't really care about it.

who knows? why are you so sure? I think there are a lots of possibilities about bitcoin sponsors and white house. probably there will be an agreement of using bitcoin as one of legal currency of America, or anything.
2780  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Preferring the technology not the coin on: January 16, 2017, 11:37:59 PM
thanks for the link i am from india, and the main reason behind the sleepness of many people here is they do not understand anything about bitcoin and they do not even want to know about it because they are too lazy to do or learn anything new. only few people did understand it correctly

that sounds bad. so what is your attempt to introduce bitcoin to people around you?

well, I think why do not you try to explain what is the difference between blockchain of banks and blockchain of bitcoin. so they will open their eyes.

now I wonder, how could the bank use blockchain for fiat?
