Are you a bitcoin fan?
Do you spend a lot of time on bitcoin? Reading news, trading, or even writing your own analysis.
But how did you first hear about bitcoin?
Is it some articles you read about? Or just from a friend who has traded bitcoin for a long time?

Share your experience with us. Grin

The first time I heard it is from a young man, whose a sibling of my leader. I got interested since I don't have anything to do at that time. At the same time I was looking for a part time job to do it together with my studies. That's when I decided to join in here. That was a month ago but I got more interested on it now by exploring on it to.

When you buy something on eBay or Amazon, you pay the seller, he ships the product and upload a tracking number.
If you haven't received the item, you can call eBay or Amazon and, basically, what happens is that if they have a tracking number that shows that the item has been delivered, then it is ok, otherwise eBay or Amazon reverses the transaction and you get your money back.
Is that possible with bitcoin? What if I buy a boat online for 2 bitcoins and I never receive it? Is bitcoin able to solve this problem?

Thanks

I'm not sure about using bitcoin for transactions, even if it is online. Yes, bitcoin is manipulated online  but it haven't pass to worldwides perspective about currencies. Though we are not that far from these scenarion since we are commonly using bitcoin for an higher exchange and after what's happening online, so does in online shopping transaction. But for now, we have to get our feet on and let what we are used to on what we want.
3503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin money? on: November 10, 2017, 03:11:00 PM
    Bitcoin is something radically new. Nothing like Bitcoin has been possible until now. I would go so far as to consider it sui generis; "in its own class".  This makes it important to understand what Bitcoin actually is before we try to describe it to others.

    We're getting a good handle on the code, and of course on Bitcoin's function and utility, but what words should we use to describe Bitcoin itself? There has been some debate in other threads [mostly my doing] over how it is like/not like money, cash, dollars, etc. I'd like to start this thread by focusing on the term "money", and play Devil's avocate by asking for your best arguments that Bitcoin IS money.

    My legal dictionary states "In usual and ordinary acceptation it [money] means gold, silver, or paper money, used as circulating medium of exchange, and does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate." [cites omitted]

    Wikipedia says "Money is any object that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally, a standard of deferred payment." [cited omitted]

    Webster's Online Dictionary defines money as:
    • 1. The most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender; "we tried to collect the money he owed us".
    • 2. Wealth reckoned in terms of money; "all his money is in real estate".
    • 3. The official currency issued by a government or national bank; "he changed his money into francs".
    • 4. A piece of metal, as gold, silver, copper, etc., coined, or stamped, and issued by the sovereign authority as a medium of exchange in financial transactions between citizens and with government; also, any number of such pieces; coin.
    • 5. Any written or stamped promise, certificate, or order, as a government note, a bank note, a certificate of deposit, etc., which is payable in standard coined money and is lawfully current in lieu of it; in a comprehensive sense, any currency usually and lawfully employed in buying and selling.
    • 6. In general, wealth; property; as, he has much money in land, or in stocks; to make, or lose, money.
    [links omitted]
    [/list]

    I maintain that per these definitions, Bitcoin cannot possibly be described as "money". And further, I think that those who do describe Bitcoin as "money" are doing this community a disservice.

    But that is just my point of view. Are there any that can convincingly argue otherwise, that Bitcoin IS money?






    I agree that bitcoin is a type of money. It turns out to be a somehow currency. It works by a definition of money and hoe could it be use. As we use money, or any normal or on hand currencies we have, these are both use in trading. As it satisfies the definition it could be so it. It just turns out to be in this digital world
    3504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your biggest regret about bitcoin on: November 10, 2017, 02:57:11 PM
    My biggest regret is when I got introduced to this back in 2012, I tried to buy £200 worth, the platform was down and I never bothered, just recently woke up to it again at over £4k per coin, it is a physiological thing where I don't want to buy at that price.

    Mine was for not knowing bitcoin early. It takes a month before I got to get into it. I was so afraid to be scammed and just taught my time will be wasted. After them receiving their payments and buying what they want, I have realised it is me who really wasted the time I could work on it. But anyways, atleast I'm here now. It's just part of the past. What important is the ahead of bitcoin.

    Sa isang araw may limit ba ang pag post ?

    Kung newbie ka palang ay may limit talaga. Pero yung interval lang naman talaga ng post ang naglilimit. Kapag mataas na ang rank unti unti namang nawawala iyon. Basta may thought lang talaga ang post mo dito. As in may essence. Kung sa activities naman ikaw nakabase, hindi naman siguro yon paglilimit pero pagcount nila para maprpmote na yung account. Nakabase din kasi yun sa time.
    3506  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: Sa dami ng work sa online,Bakit Bitcoin ang Pinasok mo? on: November 07, 2017, 04:03:45 AM
    Sa Dami ng work sa Online world,bitcoin lang ang pinaka madaling pasukan. Easy pa ang work ang malaki pa ang kinikita. Walang hasel walang pressure kasi hawak mo ang oras mo.

    Kaya ito ang pinasok ko kasi syempre madali lang ang ginagawa dito kumpara sa iba. Hawak mo pa ang oras mo kaya naman kayang kayang magmulti task kahit may isabay ka pang trabaho. Wala ring discrimination dito. Basta marunong kang magsulat at magbasa, pwedeng pwede ka. Hindi naman kasi ganoon kahigpit basta mayroon kalang tyaga na kumita dito. Kung tutuusin sipag lang talaga ang puhunan dito, tiyak na kikita ka na agad ng malaki.

    trending na ba ang btc, gaano ito ka kilala ng mga kababayan natin? nafeature na ba ito
    sa isang local news paper?, magazine o nabalita na sa news? all your opinion and answers are
    appreciated thanks  Grin

    Sa tingin ko hindi siya gaanong kilala. Sa mga kaklase ko kasi or maging sa buong school namin, wala naman akong nababalitaan tungkol dito. Sa lugar rin namin ay wala naman. Mayroon man siguro ay parang tinatago pa nila ito. Kumbaga hindi siya gaanong kinikilala. Sa ibang bansa kasi malaki na ang nagiging palitan nito kaya sa tingin ko ay talagang nagiging patok at lumalawak hindi tulad sa atin.

    Hindi ka rin sigurado. Kailangan mi kasing magrisk. Kung gusto mo talaga ay unti untiin mo nalanv ang pagiinvest. Bago ka na rin maginvest ay icheck mo muna kung okay ba ang history nun.
    3509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? on: October 31, 2017, 12:58:04 AM
    I would like to know what experiences did you had when you first started with Bitcoins. As for me, I had many that I would like to share with you.

    When I began in the Bitcoin world, I was a complete rookie with no proper knowledge of how did mining worked or anything about cryptocurrencies. I just thought about Bitcoin as another payment processor like PayPal. But when I joined the BitcoinTalk community, I learned so many things along the way. In my process of learning in the first days, I decided to invest into cloud mining services. Since I didn't knew much about it, I invested a plenty amount of Bitcoins to start my journey into it. During that time, I had gotten into many different services. Those were GAW Miners, then Cointellect, cloudminr.io and finally Hashnest. After getting scammed many times by the services mentioned previously, (except for Hashnest) I have lost many Bitcoins. As a result, I decided to never invest into cloud mining and thus dedicate myself into learning more about the cryptocurrency and look for other ways to earn Bitcoins. It was then that I enrolled into the signature campaign that I am currently into and during all that time I began to earn Bitcoins as well as diversify my investments into different alt coins. Now I am dedicated to trading Bitcoins and other alt coins, as well as working for it (like the signature campaign and working as a freelancer) in order to earn coins and build up my portfolio along the way.

    Anyways, what would be your experiences with this exciting cryptocurrency?  Cheesy

    At first I was so excited. I treat it as an ordinary job. I post on time to keep the number of my activities on time. I also read a lot as I try new things. But then after amount I got used to it and already manage my time for it.

    3511  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children on: October 02, 2017, 01:49:53 AM
    Bitcoin is difficult to explain. I also felt difficulties in understanding bitcoin for the firs time. Let's share how to explain bitcoin to children of teenagers. In My country I can say 98% children don't know bitcoin. In fact, bitcoin can be future money. If the children not familiar with cryptocurrency or bitcoin, how can they face the digital era in the future.

    I'm not quite sure if its good to share to children, even if we say that the are understanding some sort of this internet thing already. For some teenagers, especially the techy ones, I guess they will be more interested with bitcoin. Lets consider the fact that it is hard for them to believe it since they too know some scams on the internet world. But if you really have that desire to teach them how it works, you have to prove it to them first.

    San ba kinuha ang pangalan ng bitcoin? Sa pangalan ba ng tao kinuha ang salitang bitcoin?

    Bitcoin is a 2 term word joined together, bit and coin. At first akala ko yung "bit" has something to do with the word "a bit". Pero if you'll be relating it sa computer or internet world, ito yung language or count na binabasa ng computer or any programming language. Bit came from the wory binary, which is the smallest unit in programming language. Then the word coin is self explanatory.
    3513  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bakit ayaw ng bansang China ang bitcoin? on: October 01, 2017, 02:40:34 AM
    Sa pagsasaliksik ko sa bitcoin lagi po akong napupunta sa mga articles na sinasabing ban daw po ang bitcoin sa China? Hindi lang po klaro sa aking kung bakit po kaya nila ayaw ang bitcoin? Ano po kaya ang konkretong dahilan ukol dito sa mga nakakaalam pakishare naman po. Salamat.

    Oo nga at talamak ang usapan ng pag-ban ng China sa bitcoin. Ibig sabihin ay malaki ang populasyon ng mga nagbibitcoin sa kanila kaya naman natuklasan nila ito. At mula sa malaking popylasyon na ito, wala naman silang control para mapigilan ang paglaganap ng bitcoin at palitan ng cryptocurrency. Kaya siguro nauwi nalang ang desisyon nila sa pagban nito dahil wala rin naman silang ibang choice lalo na't hindi nila ito hawak.
    3514  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: Para saan nga ba ang bitcoins kung may pesos naman?? on: September 15, 2017, 09:59:13 AM
    Hmm.. In my opinion.. Pesos.. Tingin ko.. Mas madali ang pag gamit ng pesos instead of bitcoin.. In terms of pagkain damit saka ibapang mga bilihin.. Pero bitcoins..?? Para sa inyo.. Ano ba ang importante sa bitcoins?? Thank you.. Smiley

    Sa tingin ko kaya nagkaroon nang bitcoin ay para magkaroon ng international currency para sa internet world. Malaki ang possibility na hindi alam nang ibang bansa ang kalakanan natin sa currency, pesos. Isa pa dito ay ang palitan nito o mismong halaga ng bitcoin. Pagdating naman sa pesos at bitcoin cash out ay pareho rin namang dumadaan sa proseso na pareho rin namang pesos ang kalalabasan. In short, pinagcocommunicate ang bbitcoin para sa iba at ibang currencies.

    Ako, nalaman ko lang ito sa facebook. May nakapagsabi sakin na sumali daw ako sa mga bounty campaigns or signature campaigns.

    Noong una ay naghahanap lang ako nang pagkakakitaan kasabay nang pag-aaral. Hanggang sa nagtanong ako sa ka-church mate namin na 'yung isa niyang kapatid na nakababata ay mahilig sa mga online bitcoins na hindi ko naman alam. Bale sa kaniya ko 'yon natutunan. Ka-church mate din namin siya na mas bata sa amin na nakabili na ng cellphone mula sa bitcoin.

    Sa tingin ko iilan pa lang ang nakakaalam ng bitcoin sa Pilipinas. Mas kilalang trabaho online para sakanila ay ang pagtuturo nang ingles. Dagdag pa dito, wala ring naman naipalalabas na komersyal o social media advertisments. Sa tingin ko mas pinipili nang iba na itago muna o unti untiin ang pagsshare nito sa iba upang patunayan muna sa sarili.

    Which of the Bitcoin wallets between the Online and Offline works best?

    I prefer offline wallet because of the obvious fact that you can immediately check your balance without internet connection. I guess it also function well with the onlinr wallet. Your cash ins can also be sync when your online immediately. Offline wallet is less hassle.

    maraming salamat sa mga magrereply. Smiley Wink Smiley Smiley

    Sa totoo lang ay hindi mo naman sila kailangang I-please na mag bitcoin. Personal pa rin nila iyong deaisyon. Pero kung nais mo na mai-share kung paano ka kumikita mula sa bitcoin, mas maganda kung makita muna nila ito sa iyo. Dapat nakikita nila yung mga advantages nito. At kapag nakita na nila iyon, sila na mismo ang lalapit at magc-convince sa'yo na isali sila sa bitcoin.

    Para sa akin oo, pero syempre nakadepende pa rin ito sa determinsayon ng isang tao. Sa galing sa paghahawak ng pera o disiplina ganun din sa oras. Syempre sa disiplina na 'yon kasama rin ang pagtitipid at minsan pagtitiis. Kung gusto may paraan, at kung gusto mo ehdi go.

    What would you do when you're talking to someone but then he suddenly talks about his hatred on Bitcoin, what would you react to it?

    I've never actually experienced anything like this before, I just want to be prepared when it happened to me.

    If ever I will be experiencing or will encounter people who has a hatred in bitcoin, I will first try to understand them and will not argue with them about it. It is because of their personal experience that gave them such hatred. At least he or she got a chance to outburst his or her feeling. But when the time comes that it is okay with him or her to talk about it, I will take time to share it.
