I think people are putting too much expectations in Bitcoin.
Unfortunately, it is not going to solve all the problems around the world, neither tyhe poverty.
Agreed. We already have enough basic resources for the entire world (food and water). The way we allocate resources in this system, gives a lot of resources to a small % of the population. Bitcoin isn't changing that system. |

In the of vastly climate change, renewable energy would be a good platform for mitigating this problem, renewable energy can serve us source of energy but this type of energy is not sufficient for us.
So renewable energy should be developed more and storage capacity should be developed.
Who told you that? Renewable energy is completely sufficient, but it's much more expensive to produce. That is why governments like to avoid it or dedicate only a small percent of power production to renewables to act like they care. Renewable energy is for instance water, and you can build several dams on a single river and produce plenty of power. The only problem is cost. Thats the bad side of renewable energy, the cost of dams the machinery and the plataforms for the production of energy by using the movements of engines propulse by water are huge, besides not every country have a river capable to do this kind of proyect. That's why there are different types of renewable energy, the best thing I think is for the solar powered panels. Definitely, they can help power up the grid if given a chance to serve its purpose. It also depends on the country, that's why there are different designs also. It's just not a priority for the world as a whole. It's not even about the monetary cost. The current energy companies are so deeply embedded into politics, that the opportunity for mass renewable energy gets very low on the list. The US spends $700 billion a year on military....that's a higher priority than having renewable energy. The technological constraint doesn't exist anymore. We are depending on people like Elon, to make it his personal priority to get the needle moving. There needs to be way more billionaires that share the same attitude. |

China, as it is the largest importer of ivories and other animal related parts for it's medical and spiritual needs. I don't know.. at least the Chinese are not directly killing the elephants for their ivory. All the killing is being done in Africa and India. But you can argue that without the demand from China, these killings would never take place. And in Russia, they are digging up pre-historic Mammoth carcasses from the permafrost, so that the tusks can be exported to China. China doesn't have any elephants to kill, otherwise they probably would. I think this happened with rhino horns, but we just need the market to be flooded with fake tusks, so that the end user of the tusks will be scammed themselves. Either that or follow the tusks with a bullet to the head, and eventually there will be no more tusk collectors  Too harsh? lol |

This is something that European union has tried and partialy successeded, to use one currency for all member states. And still there are problems so I don't think it's possible for entire world to use only one currency. Many countries consider currency as part of their sovereignity and something that economy is dependent on so it's hard to abandone that.
The experiment of the euro has been a completely failure in my opinion, they tried to impose a single currency to different nations with different needs and we are seeing the consequences of that terrible mistake, I would not like to live in a country in which politicians are risking the future of the people in order to try to make an experiment work. Consequences such as....? The Euro has made doing business and banking across borders much easier. Traveling has become much more comfortable without having to exchange money all the time. I don't want to think about how complicated buying Bitcoin would have been without the Euro. There might be a shortage in supply , yet it will be much easier to travel plus to have more access in different activities worldwide. Though chance that it will be impossible to implemented since tgere are a lot of countries that are not in good terms to be able to happen this there must be a leader that everyone listened too. The supply wouldn't be that important, because prices would need to change given whatever the money supply is. A countries monetary policy would go away, which would be the ability to manipulate the money supply and cost of debt. |

The point behind making DMT illegal, has to do with the point that the superrich want to reduce the population of the planet to around 100 million. When they get the population down to that, then they will make DMT legal again, and stop killing people to get rid of it. DMT is Dimethyltryptamine, right? What this has to do with population control? And why does the super-rich want to reduce the global population? A larger population means more slaves for them. Yeah, that's correct for DMT. Those that do DMT aren't concerned about the legality behind it. In South America, where you'd actually have the ayahuasca ceremony, it's not illegal. |

I just started using this wallet a week ago. The interface looks nice and easy to use.
What is the fee structure for exchanging one crypto for another? For example, converting Bitcoin to Ethereum, or vise versa?
Thanks.
I don't really use the wallet for exchanging assets but the fees are not something fixed I believe. Exodus simply use ShapeShift API so everything comes from there and you can see their fees here: https://shapeshift.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202585602-What-s-your-fee-structure-Awesome thanks. So the fee is just embedded in the exchange rates and approximately 0.5% for anyone that's interested. Not bad. |

This is actually something important to think about. I'd assume that as the cryptocurrency market matures, there will be options for beneficiaries in some way or another.
For now, you can make a video and put it on a usb stick, on how to recover and utilize your Bitcoin account, and have that usb stick in a safe, with it listed as your niece or nephew on your will.

Drugs can actually make you happy, or some other form of it, for a limited time. Have you heard of LSD, ayahuasca and DMT? I would call these drugs very spiritual.
I myself have been smoking pot for more than 7 years, but really got the meaning and the true effect a few years ago. It stimulates brain activity and makes me analyze and think deep. Hence the being "high", meaning that the brain is working on a higher frequency.
Don't fall for the system's manipulations, don't also fall for drug addiction. So as with everything, balance is the most important aspect.
Drugs such as marijuana and LSD should be put on the same category as alcohol and tobacco, because they are very harmless substances. Have you ever heard of anyone overdosing on LSD? Marijuana and LSD (or any psychedelic such as psilocybin, peyote/san pedro, ayahuasca, iboga) are far less harmless than alcohol or tobacco. The death count for alcohol/tobacco are insane. But psychedelics aren't for everyone, and in my opinion aren't really recreational substances. For those that are interested, do their research and have some mental discipline, it can be a very mind opening and educational experience....not an experience that should be made illegal and threatened with force/authority/prison. And even if someone were to overdose on LSD, it would still not be a valid reason to make it illegal. You can overdose on almost anything including drinking water. Moderation is key. Psychedelics are not for everyone, as it may scare the living shit out of you,actually even is you are experienced. You can never know when the bad trip is gonna hit you, specially if you are trying to push the limits. Or doing it in hostile environment, or with people you don't trust. Drugs are not for everyone either, the same should apply for alcohol. People are too easily manipulated by the war on drugs campaigns, and if a mother hears their child did some drug, they might start freaking out about it and make things worse. Addiction is about the environment, not about substance. If the family rejects the druggie, where else does he have to go, to find some kind of relief? Well we're all brainwashed as kids about drugs. Very few people take the accountability to educate themselves on drugs to form their own opinion, and this thread is a perfect example of that. Yeah I totally agree with you about psychedelics. You have a rare opinion for this forum. It absolutely can be scary, especially if you want to control the situation. The scary trips are usually the ones that you can learn the most about yourself from, so there are benefits either way. Being in an environment with any dishonesty or aggression on psychedelics is not going to be fun at all. Honesty is critical. Many nations around the world haven't even started in the direction of making ayahuasca illegal. Some may be in the direction of upholding it. It probably isn't illegal in the States or Britain. Yet, it is better than weed in some ways. And probably not many (any?) studies on using it as medicine have been made. Google it.  EDIT: Youtube search on "ayahuasca Graham Hancock." Countries would likely make DMT illegal instead of ayahuasca specifically, which is foolish as DMT is created within humans, and is in most living things. I'm also not sure if the vines that contain the MAO inhibitor grow worldwide...seems to be local in South America. Yeah not sure how to compare it to cannabis, it's a very powerful psychedelic with profound mind opening effects that usually lead to self discovery. It's a great tool to increase awareness for anyone willing to take the journey  I've watched several documentaries on it, and I've listened to a couple podcasts with Graham Hancock describing his ayahuasca experience. I like Aubrey Marcus describing his experience/learning on huachuma and ayahuasca as well. |

I saw this video on youtube, about an interview about a female reptilian who is claiming that they were the first inhabitants of earth. here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjaIq3fuJg8seems legit to me, what do you think? Dude in the video said that it's certified as the absolute truth. Not sure how anyone can debate that type of self-proclaimed certification |

Like in the 90īs where there no was internet and the society used books and talk to the elders to learn about life, travels and experienced more with the humanity than know, where a baby born with an ipad right below his shoulder.
If I will have kids in the near future, I want to teach them the old ways. I will not allow them to use the internet to search for the answers on their assignments. I will not introdiced technologies to them yet before they become heartless. I will let them enjoy their childhood by letting them play with oldschool games together with the neighbor. You have no idea how many parents have tried that throughout the ages. "I will not allow my children to watch TV, I'll make them go outside and play with friends. TV is evil" "I will not allow my children to read those stupid teen magazines and listen to aggressive music all day. It damages the hearing and they might get a stupid idea and try to go to a college. They will learn a trade and get a decent job like their father!" Sounds familiar?  Authoritative approach on parenting...doesn't really work out well for kids. All that will happen is the kids will either be afraid of breaking the rules and ignorant, or they'll do as they please behind the parents' back. |

Plus why would i even tell everyone ?the world will know one day  .. Man if i said who i was and what i do many would want to steal it .. Why don't you take Elon Musk's approach, and before anyone has a chance to steal it, you give it away for free like Tesla's patents? So opinions do matter someone will be right and someone will be wrong JUST LIKE YOU ARE .. What opinion of mine is wrong? (in your opinion, of course) Your opinion on opinion If my opinion on opinion is wrong, then opinions must have the utmost importance. And if my opinion is now important, and in my opinion I'm right, then correct me if I'm wrong (lol) but I believe we've reached a philosophical stalemate. |

Well I think everyone has the freedom to marry whoever they want ! Don't see any issue or don't mind at all these marriages.
It is not about the freedom. It is about the benefits. No one is going to ban gay sex. What they do in their bedrooms is their private matter. But the problem is that gay couples can't be granted the same benefits as the heterosexual couples. Because the relation is not stable. The divorce rate in the states is over 50% so I wouldn't say stability in a relationship depends on the sexual orientation. There are countless unstable straight marriages that either live in misery or get a divorce. Marriage is just a social contract, which has importance to some and means little to others. Whether or not the relationship is stable is not a criteria for marriage. Your right though in that it's about the benefits that come with marriage, such as income splitting to lower taxes. |

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and honestly, opinions don't really have much worth, but can be entertaining at times. If someones opinions don't have much worth then how do we have all what we have today?.. I mean if i invented something i was right and everyone else is wrong .. So peoples opinions do MATTER .. To discuss my opinion on a scientific matter and many opinions have been right over another opinion.. SO THEY DO MATTER.. What is it that you invented? Opinions don't mean much without credibility, and what credibility is there? What's the saying...."Opinions are like assholes...everyone has one"? With scientific matter, it's the science behind it that matters, still not the opinion that agrees or disagrees with it. |

How did Michael Chandler injure his leg?  That was strange how his ankle gave out on him. I wonder if he injured it in training. Reminded me of Patricio Freire injuring his leg when he fought Ben Henderson. Michael Chiesa got more tattoos. I wonder if people are getting more tats trying to look like Conor McGregor. Its strange to me how people try to talk and imitate Conor's behavior. Now they're trying to copy his tattoos too. McGregor found huge success with his personality, and now fighters think that they can sell themselves better if they take the same approach, but it comes off artificial. It's become much easier in the UFC to talk your way to a title fight, than to fight your way to a title fight. |

Don't do drugs . Never and ever caught up in doing drugs. It kills your entire body and your soul. Drugs give enjoyment at the begining of doing them but as time goes on, you are getting agitated , nervous and angry . people can harm their beloved ones when they are high.In a nutshell, drugs dont make you happy but feel horrible .
Drugs can actually make you happy, or some other form of it, for a limited time. Have you heard of LSD, ayahuasca and DMT? I would call these drugs very spiritual. I myself have been smoking pot for more than 7 years, but really got the meaning and the true effect a few years ago. It stimulates brain activity and makes me analyze and think deep. Hence the being "high", meaning that the brain is working on a higher frequency. Don't fall for the system's manipulations, don't also fall for drug addiction. So as with everything, balance is the most important aspect. Most people here think that the psychedelics you listed above, are no different than opiates like heroin. They have one category of "illegal drugs" and can't really comprehend much more than that. But they'll have no problem going to the hospital and having morphine injected into them, not knowing it's the same as heroin. I'd consider those psychedelics spiritual as well. No addictive properties. People don't die from them. But they're illegal and most people don't really understand much outside of legality. Anyways, thanks for sharing your experience and glad you found a way to enter "the zone" and learn about yourself. |
