What to do with the people who do not like Bitcoin
For those who do not like bitcoin means he does not know what bitcoin is, they may not know the development of the times or they do not want to know at all ...
It would be harmful for people who do not know bitcoin because bitcoin can give what we want ....
So let's tell a friend what advantage gained from playing bitcoin ...
Uh no? Because probably the reason why they hate Bitcoin is, they've already know it but come up with a different perspective about it unlike us. They're just confused and all, and besides you can't force them to believe what you believe. Well maybe what we can do about them is to tell them indirectly, I mean you're telling them by means of what your actions are and what you're doing that is related to Bitcoin. For example you can buy online items using Bitcoin with less transaction requirements. And you can make money out of it. Just let them notice, 'cause sometimes action is loader than voice.

Bitcoin just does not, but btc and altcoins yes
Even if you combine all the cryptocurrencies, it just can't end it. Even if those who lived in the first world countries mine so much of these coins (which they will not), and donate it to those who are economically not even in the average. It will still not help them, because not all of them are computer literate and don't have such facilities. And for the alternative, even if those mined coins have been converted to Fiat, it will be just like a big charity.

In fact you don't need to give a large amount of money, we need to give them just enough of it and 'education', that's what will save them from it.
343  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are holding Bitcoin? on: July 29, 2017, 04:01:28 PM
Simply because people speculate that value will pump for the next days or time for them to get a higher value.
yes a lot of people do not want to sell their bitcoin because they are aware of the bitcoin price that it will increase more after a few years and then they will be able to earn more money bitcoin has gone a bit down now a days but everyone is hopping for the best result at august first and a lot of problem that bitcoin is suffering from will be removed after august first so this is the main reason why people are not selling their coins and still they are holding it.
I don't think that It could be the main reason of it all. They're not saving just for the hope that the Bitcoin price will increase after some years, because we really don't know what will happen in the future. Well maybe Bitcoin will not be as successful as we thought it would be, who knows. Regardless of what will happen in August 1st, they will still hold some amount. And for what reason? Its 'timing', your guts will tell when you will sell those coins of yours. Since we don't know when would the price could increase, then it will be just your guts to know if now is a good timing.

I made all reposts first time, a few posts, but don't have time make posts 2 times a day and I have not been updated in spreadsheet, so I let go this bounty campaign. Do people, who are updated in spreadsheet, really make posts 2 times a day, not only reposts?
Yes, and I'm one of them. If you have doubts, you can check the facebook links of those who are paid and see for yourself the answet. Maybe you should've to give more effort in the next campaign you are joining.

Exerting effort when you join an bounty campaign is needed, it is not something that is taken for granted, if you are accepted in a campaign you must take responsibi to wear their signature and advertise their site and services. Learn from these experiences.
345  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: July 28, 2017, 01:53:34 AM
I think in the presence of bitcoin will reduce unemployment, because searching for bitcoin also requires hard work and creativity, and competitiveness in bitcoin is also high almost similar to work in the real world

What is your opinion this time?
I agree with that, it reduces unemployment. Because of the growing population the number of unemployed increases. But with bitcoin they can earn money tru working by exerting time,effort, and hardwork. With the money they got from bitcoin increases the money circulating around the country that can also help the economy like a real employed person.
If unemployment means no work or no salary earned, yes I definitely agree that it reduces unemployment. Because in bitcoin there are ways to earn money more than being employed. For some people who enjoy bitcoin, they are actually richer than an average employed person. Of course it also takes a lot of efforts to learn and succeed.
Unemployed is a 'government' status where an individual person has the ability to do work but doesn't have a job. There are many factors that affects unemployment, one is a country having too little of available jobs that eventually tends to this.

Now back to Bitcoin earning. It is decentralized, meaning the government have no connection to it whatsoever. Making it tax free regardless of how much you earned. If the government don't have the authority or you don't have the tax of an employed citizen then you're still considered Unemployed.

i would convince them that bitcoin is better than fiat, in one way or another if is still too stabborn to understand why i can just point him that you can make money with bitcoin, i'm sure now he would give bitcoin a try, when people heard about easy money they always jump on the train
There's no need for you to convince them, in fact those ignorant people are not worthy of knowing what Bitcoin is and what can it do. Because what they did is being judgmental and just ignore everything they don't know. Even if you say you can make money out of it, they will just think that this is some sort of scam. I know these kinds of people, they always think that they already know everything and they are right at everything thus mindset. So let them be, we don't need them to our community.
347  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: July 28, 2017, 01:10:08 AM
Ok, as we analyze the situation. The world poverty is somehow much worse than the past years. I mean as you can see even the highest rated fiat (dollars) can't do the trick of saving them from poverty, even though $ has been used for centuries now then what more for Bitcoin who're just a few years old. It doesn't even have the convenience when using it. And few countries are the only ones who accepted it.
348  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: July 24, 2017, 02:03:52 PM
In addition to reducing unemployment bitcoin can also be an alternative to find additional money for those who already work

Yes,  I agree even though bitcoins hasn't  any benefits they still helped us in moneymaking and thus help in an unemployed worker.
What the heck are you saying? Don't have benefits in Bitcoin? Well helping you to earn for a living is already a benefit.

How could you say that there are no benefits in Bitcoin, you don't even have that deep enough knowledge to describe Bitcoin and now your being judgmental.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: July 23, 2017, 01:38:22 PM
it's true that bitcoin is being used in many bad sectors but literally why would it stop. bitcoin is a kind of money and money can be spent/transfer anywhere in the world in exchange for some product or any service. bitcoin is also used by deep web and most probably for all kind of crimes. we can see the recent ransomewhere attack which also demanded Bitcoin from common users.
Well based on what you've said, the reason why they choose Bitcoin over Fiat is because of POWER. Having FREEDOM in using bitcoin is quite very powerful you see, I mean you can do almost anything by using it and no one will even know you did it. Anyways in Bitcoin 'everything is permitted'.
350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do with the people who don't like Bitcoin? on: July 23, 2017, 01:13:32 PM
I just don't talk about BTC with anyone who is overly negative about it. I don't mind hearing criticism or new information but if someone is bashing it when they don't understand how it works they are not worth stressing over.
Well said, these kind of people just want to make assumptions to Bitcoin even though they don't even know what they're talking about. They're just judgmental people who're probably always thought that they're always right.
351  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: July 23, 2017, 12:26:10 PM
Bitcoin can both end poverty, and make some of the population even poorer.  Grin Crypto currency is primarily a currency
What nonsense! You said that Bitcoin can end poverty but you're also saying that it'll only make them poorer. And you added that cryptocurrencies are just primarily currencies? Wow you've done a lot of research there my friend.

No matter how Bitcoin progress, it can not end world poverty. And Currencies have different characteristics of their own.
352  Other / Off-topic / Re: Young people should go all in on bitcoin on: July 23, 2017, 11:04:03 AM
Youngsters are more involved in bitcoins and are earning in the best ways possible and the percentage of older generation would be very less in bitcoins as most of them would not be aware about bitcoins at a moment.
I don't think that being young necessarily means that you will be interested on bitcoin what it happens is that those that are older need to make safer investment since they do not have as much time to recover if they make a mistake in their investments, since I’m young I can afford to make a mistake or two in my investments so that is why I do not have a problem risking some of my money in crypto.
They have and we all have the tike to recover its only a matter of skills ,If a young people or old have no skills so he can't recover it in a months or years but if you are skillful even you start with nothing again you can recover slowly.
So basically what you are trying to say is, its a matter of Digital Divide? The ones who have undergone to proper education and most likely to have such facilities in order for them to be skillful, whilst those who have let's say slight education but lack of facilities therefore, they really don't have the skills for them to cope up for what are the trends and what should a youngster should have.
353  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: July 23, 2017, 08:13:22 AM
I think Bitcoin can't end world poverty but it can lease poverty. Not all know BTC and use BTC like poor people don't have mobile or laptop to be used. But like us that we know BTC we can lease poverty by helping people around us.  Wink
Well as of what I'm thinking it wouldn't help them a bit. Only those who have interests, skills and knwoledge about Bitcoin are the ones that tends to progress.
354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Safest way to keep bitcoins? on: July 22, 2017, 03:52:18 AM
Really, it is your choice wherever you are more comfortable.

I could only make suggestions on how good the wallets are but not take biased assumptions out of it. But since this is a question out of curiosity and opinion I will have to make it brief as possible.

I would suggest not making only one kind of wallet but different kind of them. Every wallet has its own advantages and disadvantages, but when you're only concerned with security then - having online wallets is quite good if you ask me. I has its own security measures just make sure to confirm everything when you use it. And then there is also a cold storage or what we call hardware wallet which has pretty much have more security than any other wallets (I'm not saying that it has no disadvantages in security). Unlike online wallets it is offline and will be stored in your PC. Just take note that if you support it with your PC having also the maximum security (like Mac) then it will be the 'best' to store it anyways.
355  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: July 22, 2017, 03:36:15 AM
I don't know about reducing unemploment.


But... it has helped me earn some exra money to pay off debts.

The thing I have been thinking about a lot lately is that if you can read/write english decently, and live in india lets say. You making 50 usd worth of btc is a lot there. So it could help with poor countries if wealthier countries are paying in btc.
So basically, Bitcoin is just some kind of charity? That in the third world countries they benefit more than that of a higher status, and you are glad that these investors from the 'first world countries' are investing so much in this industry. Don't get me wrong but, do really want to be a parasite? Or do you want to be like those who're in the higher status.
356  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: July 22, 2017, 03:21:56 AM
I might be wrong but the most people at this forum are getting an extra income from companies that are advertising their services, soo the only thing being made is distribution of money, because when you buy someone is selling as the reverse, and with mining well you will need to pay the bills, soo the ecosystem does generate and distributes money to all. Sure for some people they are able to survive and get a better life with signatures earnings as well trading, but in the end bitcoin inst creating more money, but its putting it into circulation.
Why do we always thought that 'the only that could save poverty is MONEY'. I mean what kind of thought is this, does money really does this expectations you are making assumptions of?

First of all poverty has nothing to do with Bitcoin, since it is only a 'cryptocurrency'. Its not a hope-like tool that could save every person in that state. I mean 'money' doesn't always save everything, in fact it only saves few.

If you could just know the true meaning of 'poverty' this wouldn't be your answer.

I don't think that youngsters have big percentage in bitcoin world because I think maybe he is a young when he know bitcoin since 2010 and now he is not youngsters anymore. but I am agree that youngsters should know about bitcoin because they can use bitcoin for their future and since they are young age, they have the best investment which will give many of benefit in their future. they can hold bitcoin while they are in school or college, doing another investment to grow their bitcoin amount, doing trading or anything else so in the right time, when they want to sell their bitcoin, they really make big money because in that time, bitcoin price will be expensive.
Hmm, in this thread he should've been specific in the age on how young this youngsters would be.

Anyways, I agree with that idea letting them know what is Bitcoin will be a great help for them not only it would help them financially but they could be more productive in this industry since they are young and full of ideas. Well, they could try to innovate something out of this.

But then again, this could also be dangerous if these youngster doesn't have that mature thinking like we do. Exposing themselves in a freedom tool that could lead them in bad situations, as we all know youngster are breakable in many basis. Doing illegal stuffs, they are too young and too naive when it comes to decision making.

Bitcoin is being used widely in porn sites, gambling and drug dealing sectors. Is that why the btc made for ? I have seen a lot of members in this forum discussing about buying drugs, gambling and enjoying porn with bitcoin. Is not it a misuse of a currency ? Block chain tech is a awesome tech and btc is getting popular. I hate these misuses of precious btc. It hurts me. This will lead into unhealthy society along with unhealthy future generation.

Bitcoin is use as a money in online transaction and in fact there are sites which is deep/ dark web that has an illegal transaction of drugs, weaponry, sex related things etc. And that is part of Bitcoin because it is a cryptocurrrency or money for online transaction.
So basically what you're saying is Bitcoin has that kind of freedom when it comes to spending it 'wisely'. No wonder the government wanted total control of it. But then again, Bitcoin is a freedom tool and you can do whatever you want with this cryptocurrency, that's the whole idea of it.

Well, spending it illegally is not in the fault of Bitcoin itself it is in the human action. Humans tend to do this things because it is 'prohibited', we always wanted to try everything as much as possible for experience I guess, but only few of us thought what would be the consequences of it all.

I heard that over 60% of Token are sold. So hurra up If you want invest and take a piece from this amazing project

Wow thats great, i will grab some token right before the end of month and i hope that this project will become successful i believe on the team and its technologies NEM is really great so we will see Dimcoin high in value.

Most of the bitcoins I am getting from their Signature Campaign is the coins I will be using to to buy some Dimcoins. With a lot of participation and investors, I think these will be another ICO, I am jealous to the participants of the bounty campaign, I hope I can join that too.

The only thing I can think of why people prefer Bitcoin than fiat was, maybe in their country they are already accepting Bitcoin as payment. I mean, you don't have to exchange Bitcoin to fiat anymore because there are already ways to have transaction to either an item or a service. Because they are directly having paid in Bitcoin not in fiat.
