I think that most people will and you can't blame them because the first thing a person do is to protect their assets for something unproven. Back in the year 2009 people will mostly think that it is a scam where automatically they will stay away from because of course they want to protect their own capital, badly the worst thing happened which Bitcoin has exploded in value and that Bitcoin had soared up ever since, people who have failed to invest in the early years and even avoiding Bitcoin when it was priced below 1000$ will only feel regret now.
3902  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin had a stable price, would it still be as popular? on: October 10, 2017, 01:44:47 PM
For me if bitcoin had a stable price, it will be much popular. Because more people will have an interest to mine the bitcoin, join to the signature campaigns and use it in gambling industry.  Smiley
I don't think so, it will still depend on the price of Bitcoin that will determine if it will be popular. Just by having a stable price won't simply cut it. For example of Bitcoin got stucked in the price of 200$ I don't think it will be profitable for miners and for campaign posters(at the current rate). Also having a stable price will make the trading industry less profitable which won't favor them but in turn will favor the consumers.
3903  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: October 10, 2017, 01:22:01 PM
I havent lost my job, but i can say without any problem the signature income i get with the trading is sometimes bigger then my actual salarie, if i get unemployed i had found already a way to survive, trading and signature does allow me to survive if such thing happen. For some people bitcoin has becamed their main and only source of income, and believe me they are earning huge loads of money over crypto, soo sure anybody can give a try the sucess or not will always depend of you and the product and service you providing.
Yes you can survive for now but in a long term aspect I don't think that relying only on Bitcoin earnings is a good idea because Bitcoin is a volatile currency where the prices change too often. You cannot rely on Bitcoin on having the same buying power on a long period you are only putting yourself in a bad position if you do so. Also don't rely on something that has no assurance like Trading, because there is no guarantee that you will earn something fixed on a period.
3904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children on: October 10, 2017, 12:20:13 PM
I thought explanation with Multimedia element is the best way to explain people. Using Motion Graphic Animation and Dub voice to explain & giving images about what is bitcoin.
It would definitely give them a better explanation to what Bitcoin is, but a video presentation won't convince the kids and the teenagers to use Bitcoin afterwards which they would only understand it. In order for them to use Bitcoin the people who are teaching it must show how it is used physically and how they have benefited from it personally so the teenager wqill see that they can also benefit from it.
3905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: October 10, 2017, 11:57:35 AM
A couple of outspoken NBA owners have proposed seeding playoff teams 1-16 by record, regardless of conference. What say you?

So theres talks about a 1-16 playoff teams. That would eliminate the West vs East and just get the 16 best teams in the NBA to match up against each other, regardless of the conference. This just shows how much of a difference there is between conferences. Lebron will have a free pass to the NBA finals in the following years if this keeps going like this. The Warriors will finaly have some competition on their side.
For me, this shouldnt happen, I like the format as it is right now. No need to have the Warriors play the 16 seed when it could cause one of their super stars to get hurt.

This is crazy, changing the usual thing is something that shouldn't be done. They should respect what's the old way of playoffs as they used to play like that. I think this is just something that wanted fans to worry about this thing about the whole league. They shouldn't even think about this matter since the season is about to start and preseason will end soon.
Let's stick to the current rule, I think it's more fun if we do not change anything, I like watching the warriors and the cavaliers playing again in the Finals. I don't know what made them think that fans will like this proposed change, in the end it should be the fans decision who will be followed  because we are the one who are making their business profitable in the world of entertainment.
It would be favoravle for teams who really want to be a Champion because it will remove the imbalance of powers especially the Western Conference where it would be a hard battle for eight spots of the highly competitive Western conference. It would also make the Cavaliers path challenging as it will be based on record. What I hope is that the matching of the 16 teams will be balanced in ordert for the teams to play at their best.
3906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: JP Morgan CEO Jamie -says "BTC is worse than Tulip Bubble" calls it a fraud on: October 10, 2017, 11:33:52 AM
It's a bluff! I don't trust them as they are the ones who caused the 2008 subprime crisis.
That person is completely fraud and all he want is to start a new business in digital currency so he spreads rumors like that bitcoin had made many investors rich if this was fraud no one will be so confident on investing in bitcoins.so don’t listen to such kind of bullshits and stick to your motives, and earn profit that is changing lives of many peoples.
Actually guys you are late in the news some time last 2 weeks ago when Bitcoin fell there are rumors that the CEO of JP Morgan bought large amouns of Bitcoin and he intended to make bad opinion that was well timed with the problem in China as a catalyst to start a panic selling. A very clever way to buy Bitcoin cheap, he did use his influence over the market.

3908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATM increasing at rapid rate.... update on: October 09, 2017, 08:39:29 AM
With a considerable increase of Bitcoin ATM machines, I don't think that it automatically translates to growth but an opportunity for these businessmen to lure out new people in the Bitcoin world. With my personal experience the exchange rates in Bitcoin atms are not fair favoring the business owner of the atm machines. Even though it is not safe I would still recommend people in selling their own Bitcoin or buying Bitcoin in another way aside from using Bitcoin atms.

3910  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to get to $5,000 before end of this week! on: October 09, 2017, 04:43:44 AM
I have seeing a very strong buying signal across most of the exchangers platforms and I think $5000 is already at hand.  Currently bitcoin's price is at $4607 and if we get another serious push again we may break the resistance at$4950 area. I have also See MACD and relatively strength index showing a very strong bullish momentum.
What indicators did you use in order to know that Bitcoin will go up to 5000$? I also see that the MACD is on a bullish divergence but from what I learn the MACD is not reliable anymore above the range of 200 which it is now. Also backing up my story is the non-increasing volume which does not show an increase in demand. This might well be a price manipulation in order for the price goes up so beware of a sudden price change as the charts says it so/
3911  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: 7 People arrested for Bitcoin Trading on: October 09, 2017, 03:22:13 AM
The news article lacks explanation on what grounds they are being arrested for, but I presume is that they are running a bitcoin exchange without any business permit in that country making it illegal. As of now there are no legal standing in Nepal with regards to Bitcoin but people who are running a illegal business should be apprehended as for their own safety especially their citizens because without any official addresses they could run away with all their client's Bitcoin.
3912  Economy / Economics / Re: each state will create its own token? on: October 08, 2017, 06:02:04 PM
I'm not sure what will the advantage be if all of the states have their own unique cryptocurrency. But in the long run I see that if you try to do this it will only create disadvantages like:
  • it will create a separation of the country and promote independence to each other as they have their own kind of cryptocurrency.
  • they will most likely have a difference in prices which one coin is more expensive in another which will encourage trading and probably hoarding the coin to manipulate it
  • It won't be a good transition for all as not all people especially the older generation are technically inclined when it comes to these kinds of technology.

With the disadvantages I wrote it will obviously be a debate in both houses of the government if ever it becomes a proposal of one party, which the proposal will obviously die down.
3913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to secure your wallet once and for all! on: October 08, 2017, 05:10:22 PM
The best way to protect your Bitcoin that is inside your wallet is to keep all the information involving you as much as you can, that only your Bitcoin Wallet Address is the only thing you will show in public. As giving your email address can give them an edge in hacking your Bitcoin Wallet. Another way to add more security is to add a 2FA which you can choose to send another verfication code either in your email or in your mobile no. (I prefer the latter) that if they discovered your password the verification number will stop them from their attempt.  
3914  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: October 08, 2017, 03:30:49 PM
Corruption is something that is created by people, so any system can always be corrupted as it was manage by individuals. The only good thing about bitcoin is, is it currently had independent platform and not controlled by the government.
Well the idea of it not being controlled by the government will simply make other officials that belong to the government abuse its features. By simply knowing that the government has limited grip on Bitcoin they will certainly make transactions with it as they cannot monitor easily the flow of money when they use Bitcoin as a mode of transacting. But that is just simply a thought to make the argument going as it simply can favor other people who is in attempt of doing corrupt practices.
3915  Economy / Economics / Re: Prediction: Everyone Will Have 100+ Sources of Income Within 10 Years on: October 08, 2017, 01:07:48 PM
If your prediction is right the problem here is for the person to exploit all streams of income. Self-Management is key here in order for these people to earn in all streams because I myself basing on experience can only handle 3 online sources of income and maybe 1 regular job at the most. Because I honestly don't think that a person can handle 100 streams on income, even if a person tries too I surely think that he won't earn in every stream. The good thing about this is a person can choose on what way he will earn in the future.
3916  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Earning enough with Bitcoin without Job ? on: October 07, 2017, 05:46:36 PM
I prefer to have a regular job, have a permanent stable earnings, save it and invest it in bitcoin. While it seems to me more rational. However, you can devote all your time to studying bitcoins, the financial market, the stock exchange and make it your own way of earning - I have a friend who works that way.
Making money in bitcoin simply by investing money in it and doing nothing, however, I prefer to view this currency as a long-term investment that will ensure my future.

Yeah it would be my choice too, whats good thing about it is we can both earn from our salary and Bitcoin online. The key here is time management as many people think here that its not possible to squeeze anything related to Bitcoin because they have a job. As for your friend what he is doing is the right path of becoming a good investor as people who buys first before even analyzing the investment cannot be called a wise investor. I just hope you find a way to earn in both ways.
3917  Economy / Economics / Re: How to double your money using BTC? on: October 07, 2017, 11:36:24 AM
Wait for the prices of Bitcoin to fall . Then after it reaches its minimum amount (approx) then buy alot of btc . Then you wait , then you wait , then you wait and then when the prices of Bitcoins are finally high or double you convert them . Easy af. Is this what you were looking for ??
What I even do most time when the prices fall is to exchange straight with fiat and when it goes up back a bit to my satisfaction or if I see it may not really go for so long anymore, I take back the little capital I invested and then leave the remaining bitcoin the increase in value has generated.

More like trading but using my country's fiat directly. This has worked in increasing what I have in my wallet so far.
That is the dream scenario for any kind of Trader not even involve in the cryptocurrency world. However I think that it is easier said than done as literally millions of people lose their money due to trading, people who thinks that it is easy as buying low and selling high but the problem here is that we don't know what is low and what is high or even what is the perfect time to buy them.
3918  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: October 07, 2017, 06:56:31 AM
I agree, bitcoin greatly helps in terms of employment.  There are lots of people who do freelancing with bitcoins.  With these those who are not currently employed but skillful people can have a chance to showcase their skills and get paid with bitcoin.  Aside from that it also help in terms of financial support to those who already have their job by acting as side job.

How can we earn money using bitcoin? And where can I get bitcoin? I just recently joined here because my friends are telling me that they are having the time of their lives because of bitcoin. So I read about this bitcoin and learned that bitcoin is about transferring money online just like sending a text message without the help of banks or third parties, which requires fees. So how does that give them bitcoin?
But in by no means you can consider people earning Bitcoin to be unemployed as these people who are doing freelance work are self-employed individuals. Also the income they are earning are not in terms of salary mostly this has commission basis and if the income comes from trading it is considered as capital gains. As you can see to be called an employee you must have an employer who will hire, simply being part of a project with limited time can't be considered.
3919  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Bitcoin and real money? on: October 07, 2017, 04:20:59 AM
Some difference between bitcoin and real money.Such as If i transaction some bitcoin dollar then First I need a device.Moreover all Shop, hotel and other place can't accept bitcoin yet.but On the other hand Real money acceptable all place all time.But the time will come when Bitcoin will be used like real money.
That is only one perspective that you can say about Bitcoin being compared to Fiat Currency. Obviously Bitcoin in terms of acceptance will be defeated by any Fiat Currency as they are the official currency of their respective countries and it is their most common medium of exchange, expecting Bitcoin to overtake in terms of usage any kind of Fiat currency is not a realistic expectation.
3920  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Will Kill The Income Tax on: October 05, 2017, 06:46:23 AM
there should be some tax on crypto currency because when there is tax on crypto currency then most countries will start to involve bitcoin in their national currency due to which rate of bitcoin is increased quickly and also the security will also increased which can give more better future to bitcoin.
Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency is still taxable whether or not it is considered as a currency on your country or not. The problem here is people that evade their taxes or who does not record their Bitcoin earnings as taxable and I don't know where they get the idea that cryptocurrency is not taxable. If the government sees people that evade taxes woth their Bitcoin they might take legal action with it.
