341  Economy / Economics / Re: Why most bitcoin users from good economies countries? on: December 05, 2018, 02:45:12 PM
It is expected and cannot be denied that the more advanced countries would surely be the leader in this more advanced technology. It would be more questionable to see that such a small country with less bitcoin users will have the most bitcoin ATMs. So what for? Who will be the clients then? So you don't have to wonder about it. Had it been other countries have started it and are as well advanced they would have been just the same as the US now.
342  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Supporting new projects can lead to a better future. on: December 05, 2018, 01:26:47 PM
In a society that faces psychological pressure, depression and anxiety.. I think that humans should leave aside the selfishness and lower the urge to make profit out anything and start supporting projects that can increase their overall well-being. I think we all wish a better future for our children. Don't you?
Are you currently investing in any project? What's that about?

I am supporting the campaign of a project which is about the use of cryptocurrency and actual product as energy sources. The company aims to sell this resources at a lower price. So that the money wouldn't be wasted as much while considering the better use of resources. If people would support more of this projects or any projects that may concern the welfare of people and the environment and lay away for a time the idea of making more profit, maybe we could live a brighter future. The holding and dumping of coins for no other purpose than aiming to take advantage of the rise of the coin value may not be a good way to earn money so for me it is just a waste of time and effort for the developers because the main goals were not achieved. Better use crypto for a purpose not for money alone.
343  Economy / Economics / Re: Would blockchain technologies continue Its development without cryptocurrency? on: December 05, 2018, 11:58:34 AM
I think this is possible that blockchain will continue to be used even if there is no cryptocurrency. The blockchain technology can be used in so many ways. I here it can even store data especially the important files that should only be retrieve for view by their respective owner. This files like the ones that is very confidential or probably top secret files like that of the government. So for me it will continue to exist most probably. But as of now we knew it used for the digital currency which I believe will continue to exist in the future.
344  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto adoption on: December 04, 2018, 06:39:46 PM
If crypto does gain massive adoption and you are able to pay for things in crypto, there would be less of a reason for people to cash out into fiat. How would government collect taxes from crypto gains then? Also, if something like ETH becomes big, how is the government gonna stop people from making pyramids, ponzis, and scams in general?
I am certain that no matter whereyou are in the world or from whatever region you are coming from the government you have will always be watching over cryprocurrency. This is because  a huge amount of money involved that could definitely change the economic status of a country. Change for what is better isn't bad. But since it could involve loses then for sure the government ,
Is just watching and will intervene at the right time
345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Low prices and bad comments are taking the confidence of the Newbies? on: December 04, 2018, 01:35:00 PM
The reason why people seems to comment bad on bitcoin is in the way how it progressed as time goes by in terms of price. Whether we should speak of bad comments or not or just get too silent about it, people will react just the same. There should be massive information campaign on topics about the how's and why's in bitcoin usage. People who are newbie tend to jump into something they didn't know much about. They are thinking that by holding coins you will earn profit of which is partly correct but too much of this holding would just mean a lot of volatility in prices and worst would make people react in the same as a single person who is holding large volumes of coins. These poor movements and less usage destroys the technology. Why not learn what real investments with bitcoin should be.
346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency will survive on: December 04, 2018, 09:45:48 AM
Cryptocurrency  is like a water in a bowl, the water moves but the bowl determines the flow

We crypto users are the Bowl. The reality of life is do you do the right things with the water (altcoins, bitcoins, Etherum Huh )

This simply means only crypto users causes the bearish moment and the bull run
Make the right decisions


Certainly because everything is connected to the users or investors. But what should make it more interesting and successful would be the constant realistic usage of cryptocurrency. While true that we created bearish moments and bull run, we should note that it doesn't make us any good if we are just going to hold the coins and do nothing about it. Where is the utility then?
347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to avoid getting scammed. on: December 04, 2018, 12:54:07 AM
There is a need for you to do some research about the investments you are going to make. You should start from a small capital. Don't get too exited about getting to buy any coin study how it is being marketed and the corresponding graphs for about some months to really see its movements. But more important above all research this site for topic about it and watch some related videos about trading.
348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not worry about the future of Bitcoin! It is just beginning on: December 03, 2018, 04:54:41 PM
You are correct about it. The people who invested too much created the bubble. When bitcoin was then made known by people who have become rich, other people became instant believers and wanted to earn just the same thinking that they might earn the same fortune but it turns out too many are waiting and the real purpose or usage has been defeated. Now it almost seem to be a bubble as it drops heavily for about a year. But I know it will go up again as long as people will use it as it was intended to be. Let's use it more often so that it will grow naturally and not artificially by just holdingi it.
349  Economy / Economics / Re: Block Chain eliminates regulators on: December 03, 2018, 03:45:54 PM
I always wonder what might be the reason of centralised authorities not accepting the power of Decentralization and then found the reason,if so decentralization becomes the only means for the transactions then most of the regulators and authorities might be jobless and so they are putting maximum to let down this technology by creating a hype that all the crypto currencies are scam and you can making nothing out of them investing,so we Crypto enthusiasts need to put our maximum efforts to empower decentralization .

I am not against your ideas but honestly you missed some important things to look at why authorities are really trying to stop or regulate the use of cryptocurrency. The main reason of all and the biggest is the effect it can cause to a certain economy. You know how cryptocurrency can be used to transact between people being limited by boundaries so easily. Money can be at hand anytime anywhere but these may not be good to a country who losing too much money true expenditures that might not be so necessary at the moment and thus creates wastage on the part of resources held by the said country. This is why there must be regulations for the good of all and not just for a few. Though I don't like this either but this is also the reality to face.
350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto market in depression on: December 03, 2018, 02:04:23 PM
It is not so good to hear about the market getting so low and seemingly not recovering well enough. I guess the best thing that we can do today is to allow market for cryptocurrency to come in by allowing more shops or stores to accept cryptocurrency as payments. The real problem next would be is the idea of who else would want to use it. Perhaps a new change should be propose as to the usage of cryptocurrency so as not to abuse the way it is withdrawn immediately to get to stabilize the prices of cryptocurrency. I don't know it might work but for me these is the problem why anytime or any minute cryptocurrency values will go up or often worse down for almost no reason. Almost no reason because we will never knew immediately why. If you would agree on me, I think there is really a need to change that part of cryptocurrency usage setup.
351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hacking kills the cryptocurrency market on: December 01, 2018, 04:57:42 PM
I might agree on you to the idea that hacking might kill cryptocurrency. There are occassions where investors and even bounty hunters did lose a lot due to hacking. A friend of mine was a victim of hacking and he lost several thousands of dollars and it was very hard for him to accept. But to blame the downfall of cryptocurrency just to hacking might be an exaggeration. The lack of usage for a coin kills it. This is the real reason why cryptocurrency falls. Too many investors are just waiting for prices to go up. This will lead to a sudden dumps of coin during times when prices go up which then results to the volatility of the the coin.
352  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is the richest person? on: December 01, 2018, 09:41:33 AM
The reports about the richest person in the world might just be on the paper or documents and estimates. I think there is something more about them that could have been hidden from the view of the public. I am doubtful of the real income of those persons. But for meet being rich isn't a guarantee that you will always be happy I think we need more than riches to make ourselves happier than anybody else. And being happy makes us more human than having it artificially true money. Yet it's nice to know who's the lucky guy.
353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can cryptocurrency replace fiat money? on: December 01, 2018, 07:23:25 AM
Fiat money is what we used in our daily transactions and should it replace the actual money then the anonymity might be affected and cryptocurrency will be put into a control. We know fiat is controlled by the government. This is necessary because the government would want to protect the stability of the economy. So for me it might be but the cryptocurrency we know might not be the one to be used for such purpose.
354  Economy / Economics / Re: Whether Getting Married At a Young Age Can Lead To Poverty And Make Poor Economy on: November 30, 2018, 10:07:18 PM
Poverty is not caused by marrying early but we know for a fact that with getting married early, you will have added responsibilities. The tendency of having too many children at home would block your opportunities for striving even more because so much time would be spent for taking care of them. But I don't totally agree on this because other individuals are still suffering from poverty even when they don't have so many children after marriage at young age. I think success relies more on personal decisions and the motivation to work whether or not you have too many responsibilities to attend to. There are so many factors to consider why there are so many people who are living in poverty and marriage may not be the only reason to blame to.
355  Economy / Economics / Re: Blockchain technology in election polls on: November 30, 2018, 03:23:35 PM
Actually it's been implemented as far as I know:

[1]Switzerland's “Crypto Valley” Successfully Completes Blockchain Voting Trial

[2]Japanese City Trials Blockchain Voting for Social Development Programs

[3]Sierra Leone Uses Blockchain To Track Election Results

[4]US: West Virginia Completes First Blockchain-Supported State Elections

For sure those progressive countries are already looking at this options. Not to save money but to make it more transparent to its electorate. On the other hand, there are those who opposes it, saying that we're getting totally dependent on the Internet. It's still a long way to go, but I guess its inevitable and we might see governments around the world slowly injecting it on their electoral process.


What a nice research that yout have. If this is actually true then this might just start a new era of voting online. I just don't know what are limitations to these or how could it differ from the usual method of election in tems of securing the anonymity of the vote but one thing is for certain it is something new and worth the try. I think security may not be that much of a concern since it is encrypted.
356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does it even matter if governments and banks accept cryptocurrency? on: November 30, 2018, 07:28:59 AM
There is no real democracy if we should talk about money. The government had to control transactions in a way to protect the interest of all and the government which stands for the people. Haven't you think why the government is really busy tracking money laundering activities? Well because that is really needed to make everything in the economy stable. I am not against the goal of cryptocurrency but the private interest should only come next to what should serve all that could even include oneself as a private person. It is just a matter of doing balance protecting both sides where both can benefit in the process.
357  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as a Currency on: November 29, 2018, 06:29:21 PM
Bitcoin is good as a currency but the idea that its value grows with usage is limiting its potential growth because anytime a trader may just sell his/her coins for profit and thus affects the value. Maybe there is something that could be done to create a realistic value for bitcoin and not just the one that becomes very volatile. I think if this is solved the problem with using bitcoin as a currency will be no more and a usage will really increase.
358  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: it's time to buy altcoins on: November 29, 2018, 03:38:31 PM
I think we should see to it that it's the bottom otherwise we could lose a lot. The market is moving yet and maybe it would be good to choose the best starting point to allow more profit to come in should the value increase. Anyway we really had a very low price for altcoins this month so we might considering buying coins today.
359  Economy / Economics / Re: WORLD CRISIS IN 2018 on: November 29, 2018, 02:38:21 PM
I believe that it did affect bitcoin since the bitcoin market is connected to the real world. It is money that is used to buy bitcoin and money has something to do with economy that is why the government would control it, otherwise the country may experience loses or will have unfavorable economy as a result. The prices of bitcoin may or may not actually go down immediately depending on how wide is the effect to the worlds economy in general.
