For me hate is a natural reaction for us human beings. If something doesnt meet up our expections we tend to create anger and that sometimes can be the reason for us to hate. Sometimes jealousy, enviousness,selfishness can lead us to hatred. But its up to us how can we manage ourselves or control our emotions about how we feel.
Perfect and very precise point of you (y) Depends who we are surrounded by. If we're around people that haven't reconciled their own personal issues and often have an outlet of anger (aggression), then I'd think there's a much higher likelihood that we'll end up with a similar reaction. But if we're around people that take a different approach to difficult situations, having an aggressive reaction will seem out of place. It'll be hard to fit in. Those that go towards understanding the cause or source of their anger, can eventually have a different type of reaction than simply expressing it repeatedly with no solution and negatively impacting those around us. |

ethereum got some attention for a couple of months this is the result:
average transaction fees surpasses $1 in 2 months [4]
blockchain is congested and caused ethereum and all the others relying on it to fail. all exchanges have already disabled all these wallets.
Where are you seeing that the average transaction fees for Ethereum surpassed $1? The mining network hasn't failed, and is actually increasing exponentially right now. Op already stated it source ; [4] https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/ethereum-transactionfees.htmlI just know that as well, ethereum fees consider as high because its price not even reach $1000 and bitcoin fees reach higher fees at that point too. Although bitcoin has been faced various obstacles but it's proven could survive and stand still untill this level, after segwit or blocksize increased, hopefully spam attack could be disappear and transaction fees decreases. Thanks for that...missed the link. So the increasing transaction cost is mainly caused by the increase in the price of Ethereum. Yeah it'll be interesting to see how POS affects the transactions fees. |

Which country is the most dangerous with regards to animals
With a hidden camera they filmed animals undergoing mistreatment.
They remove the skin of all still living and claim that it is to allow a clean cut. After throwing the carcasses into piles, still alive and for about 10 minutes the heart beats and eyes blink and the paws of the dogs shake. There is still one who raised his head and fixed his bloodied eyes straight for camera. http://features.peta.org/ChineseFurFarms/In my opinion they are the Asian countries, but as you requested one, I will say that it is China. I have a dog that I love very much and I can't believe when I see the Chinese doing cruelties with the dogs I definitely agree with you, chinese people must be stopped for their animal cruelty, dogs are not meant to be eaten, they are pets. They are not apart of livestock. These must be stopped, even if they treat it lime a delicacy. Chinese people must be stopped by whom? It's not like you can go to China and start enforcing these things as a foreigner. The population doesn't have empathy or awareness towards animals. Until that awareness increases substantially, it will continue to happen. |

I sincerely believe, even after there is a fork and we all adjust to the new norms, that Bitcoin can easily reach four thousand USD maybe by the end of the year or even sooner. That will be a real boon for all of those who are now slowly or aggressively accumulating the digital currency.
A lot of attention in the crypto world has been reallocated to alt coins and mainly Ethereum. I think that has taken away for Bitcoin's price increase a bit. But overall it's still increasing very quickly. All you need is a currency crisis anywhere in the world, and I would think a lot of money will pour into Bitcoin, and start an even steeper upward momentum. |

Looking to buy prebuilt GPU rigs.
I`m okay with paying a premium, but not too an extreme level.
If you have one i`ll be paying through escrow w. bitcoin
Escrow: Monobox
Pm with your price or here on this thread.
Are you looking for local only or to have it shipped as well? I'm in Toronto and I'd assume the shipping of a rig would not be cheap. |

It's interesting to see the hierarchy of animals to humans, in terms of which ones are totally okay to kill and which ones can't be killed.
Humans seem to have respect for mostly empathy, and then intelligence (with cultural exceptions). Dogs, cats, whales, dolphins, elephants, primates seem to be at the top. But pigs are very empathetic and no one gives a shit about killing pigs. Octopus are very intelligent and can solve complex problems but again no one is protesting for the octopus.
Even people with dogs and cats as pets, that are animal lovers, feed their pets dead animals.

OK, so now when a newbie looks at 1 BTC says: " I will never be able to own that! Too expensive!" - yes because people are willing to have 1 coin but how about if we make people understand that even owning 0.01 BTC can bring good wealth to their lives in the near future... I mean yeah it's great to own 1 BTC or more but that doesn't mean it's not great owning 0.1 BTC right?
I honestly don't like that 1 BTC is too expensive. I think it's alot better if 1 Bitcoin will be in the same level and value with something like 1 USD. If bitcoin would be used globally, I would have to use mBTC. It would be alot better and easier to say something like "1 large burger = 4 btc" rather than "1 large burger = 4 mBTC / 0.004 BTC". Why does that matter though? That's the same saying you don't like USD because it has fractions of them (cents) Any currency conversion is going to take time to understand and value purchases. We usually have one currency which has an understanding of how much things cost, and then need to convert any other currency to that, in order to understand value. Bitcoin is no different than trying to understand how many Euros or Pesos or Baht something is. Almost everyone has a smartphone to do the conversion if you're too lazy to do the math. |

That's the strongest part of it's nature and the reason it's gambling, because it's very addictive and you can't leave it easily, I seen few scientific shows about gambling and apparently the reason is due to hormone coming from the brain and the like, regardless gambling = addictive.
Gambling is simply addicting and there's no question about it. And regardless of your situation in life once you started to gamble, you will become addicted on it no matter how good or bad you gamble. The entertainment and excitement it gives to the people is why gambling is addicting plus the possible money you can win. Everything can be addictive as long as it provides you with a feeling of enjoyment or excitement, a euphoria if you will. The brain enjoys the extra dopamine created by it, and the happy feeling is there, and if you are starting to get addicted to it, then you are probably going to be dependent on that. It's like being high on something, and that's illegal for a reason. I don't judge gambling as an illegal activity and being high into something unless that something you are saying is the illegal drugs. We have our different hobbies and those people that are "addicted" to gambling will simply defend themselves and will say that it's their hobby and they don't make themselves deceived by gambling as they know what they are doing. Just curious about why you think some laws should be judged and others shouldn't? Why is it that illegal drugs should be judged? Well illegal drugs aren't giving profit to the government and there's no taxation on it. Another impact that it can give to the people is it can make them crazy until they grow old, there's an health issue that can be inline into illegal drugs. That's also the main reason why many people think with an intention to commit crimes because of that. But we do have our different expression here. By making only some drugs illegal, the government itself has chosen not to profit from the tax revenue. You do know that the deaths and health problems that result from drug use are heavily weighted to LEGAL drugs right? Deaths from tobacco, alcohol and prescription drugs far outweigh any illegal drug. It's a little different than what the movies may have led you to believe. Government doesn't give a damn about your health.  |

While it's tempting to see bankers and banking/finance industry as complete idiots, they're anything but. Those right at the top, the ones in power, they're the ones able to pull strings and stay out of the limelight at the same time. If they can benefit from Bitcoin, they will. If they can't, they'll do what they can to stop it.
And it won't be in ways we can imagine.
They're definitely not idiots. They're just on the advantageous side of a corrupt system at the cost of others. Farmers feed people, but many farmers aren't rich. Bankers get a high frequency trading algorithm, helps no one in the world, and they're rich.  |

The price of the cryptocurrency doesn't matter that much because it doesn't take into account the number of coins available. I'd compare based on market cap. Right now Bitcoin and Ethereum have market caps of $42 billion and $34 billion USD respectively. Ethereum is at 81% and it has been increasing steadily for the past few months.
Basically any financial statistic from altcoins is not something you should look at if you haven't been looking at the actual usage first. Reality will show that despite the sharp increases that a lot altcoins experienced lately, they haven't experienced much growth in terms of actual usage, aside from the speculative part. No matter how many people threaten to move over to altcoins because they are faster and cheaper, it has all been nothing more than big talk. Wouldn't you say that every crypto is speculative right now? I can't use even one of them in my daily life. And how is it that you're looking at actual usage? Either way, back to my response, market cap has some basis for comparison (to be taken with a grain of salt of course), where price alone doesn't. |

BTC is the virtual equivalent of USD. The reason is BTC and altcoins. Currently 1 BTC costs 2500 USD, while ETH is only 354 USD. I do not believe that Etherum will be a rival for BTC.

Not so happy with this service, massive fees + TX fee stole half of the BTC I sent.
* 0.012 BTC deposit.
* Used 0.001 BTC worth of hashing power.
* Withdrew and got 0.004 BTC back.
They basically took over half my money and I got nothing in return.
You are suffering from the high tx fee issues that we all are. Although that seems to be excessive from their site "Withdraw all my BTC Withdraw 0.5% or 0.005 BTC (whichever is bigger) fee will be applied. Confirmed balance must be minimal withdraw amount 0.001 plus fee." the bolded number is huge if you do not have much to take out which was your case. If I do a rental I put in around .1 btc knowing I am spending it all. As I will not withdraw from them and pay that fee. Basically they are looking for us to spend all that we put in. Due to the network wide high tx fees May I ask what you are using the hashing power for (mining pool?) and what the profitability is that you've experienced? |

Wow I did not know about such systems which works behind the stage. Pool hopping logically seems to be unprofitable as you said pool will not generate any rewards for you if we left early or before the block can be identified. But why PPS system would follow exact? Isn't both of them are aimed to mine from the same pool or are they regardless of that (PPS and PPLNS systems). Why one rewards immediately and one doesn't. I wanna know about them, any more guide on that please. Would be happy to know more about them.
PPLNS pays the miners that mines in the previous X shift or the X shares before the block is found. Through this, the miners can be affected by the bad luck that a pool may face or a block withholding attack. PPS pays the miners immediately regardless if a block is found but the pool will take a bigger fee and they can balance out the loss they may get from the bad luck. I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. Is PPLNS a prorated payment system that pays you proportionally to the amount of effort or hashing power you contributed as a % of the pool? |

I'm looking into living off Bitcoin legally, and so far I'm thinking the easiest way is to make a company. That way the company has clear accounts with spendings and earnings and can pay all the needed taxes. Then I'm just an employee of the company, with a salary in fiat.
Depending on where you live, you should be able to do this as a corporation, or under your personal income taxes. Keeping track of the accounts clearly are necessary either way, with respect to income, and capital gains. |

Because people want to be happy and gambling produces happiness hormones. Most people have a lot of stress and problems every day and after work we want to forget about the problems and just want to have fun while gambling.  How is it fun when you can lose your money? I truly dont really see how you could have fun when you know that every bet could cost you some money. It is not like you are going to win all the time, in fact you are going to lose big time but people keep saying that it is fun to bet for fun, that is truly an absurd reason It's more the feeling you get from the dopamine response when gambling. It's a thrilling and experience. There's also something exciting about not knowing what the outcome is going to be. Logically though, you're right in that even though it's possible to win, in the long-run, the odds are against you. |

In my country, I have to fill a form every year for the tax department, including my year end bank statement and the salary bill.
Together with some major bills for insurance and healthcare, that's all they get.
So I can hide cash under the bed, or have an overseas account, or have some Gold bars, etc. The goverment has to thrust me quite a bit.
They can check some transfers, but if you like to hide it, you can do it.
So the actual way of getting the real numbers is quite bad.
In Bitcoin
If the Tax department makes it a rule by law, that you have to report every BTC address you own, or every wallet you own ...
All problems solved, because then the Department has also the addresses of the petrol station and the deli you spend money.
In no time the system knows which tax counts here and can claim the respective amount from both sides.
Sure it is still possible to hide Bitcoins, but then it is illegal.
...or did I miss something?
You're saying that by the government understanding which accounts you spend money on that they'd be able to trace your revenues? But credits to your bitcoin account might not necessarily be income. It could also just be you making a transfer or deposit. That would need to be differentiated, and whether it will show up as capital gains if the value of bitcoin rises while you're holding it. But at the end of the day, the amount of tax evasion currently going on with fiat is massive. It just depends on whether people honestly report their revenues or not. Any currency has an opportunity to pay and evade taxes, which would be illegal. |

Well something that they are doing in Vancouver, and now Toronto is that they implement a foreign buyers tax, which is essentially a fine that buyers have to pay for every year their houses remain vacated.
I'll have to double check, but I think those were two separate things. Foreign buyer tax is 15%. The vacant-home tax is what you're referring to. |

In this government can't make strict regulations, because people are building with their own earnings and hoping for a bigger Profiting. What the government can do is just make the taxation heavier with the person having ownership for two or more houses.
The government is in control of how much debt can be accessed, and somewhat tied to the cost of that debt. Those two things on top of personal capital dictates what is "affordable". As the interest rate has been artificially low for awhile, the cost of debt is low, so it's easy to service and affordability artificially increases (given the same net worth, you can spend or invest more money). This increases speculative behaviour because the cost for doing so is low. So here we are, where speculators win and savers lose. Government created this economic state and can change it, but I don't see that happening because the wealthy benefit the most from it. |
