41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency is a great way to teach math in schools on: September 21, 2017, 01:43:14 PM
To be honest, I don't like the idea of teaching math using cryptocurrency.
Considering the vast majority of people use paper money in everyday life, it would be better to teach school children how to use math fundamentals by traditional means, rather than by digital cryptos, which have so many uncertainties in prospect.
Let's not forget that some countries consider cryptos to be illegal. So what for to teach it at school?
42  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not. on: September 21, 2017, 01:25:33 PM
Better not to compare the two, because as I understand both coins. They have different purpose or goal. Bitcoin aims to disrupt Paypal and online banking. Bitcoin is like a digital gold, offering a monetary system free from inflation and intervention of government. While Ethereum has the goal of using a blockchain to replace internet third parties - those that store data. In short, Ehtereum wants to be the World computer. Though Ethereum allows faster transactions than Bitcoin. But we cannot say that Ethereum is better in all aspect. Bitcoin will never be in the first place in coinmarketcap if its not better in all cryptos.

I agree. These two cryptos could not be compared in any way. To show the difference let's compare in terms of the cost of transactions. If in Ethereum it is called Gas and the cost is estimated based on storage conditions, complexity and use of bandwidth, in Bitcoin the cost of transactions depends on the block size. So, to say, for sure, which crypto is the future of the crypto world, two of the cryptos should be relatively similar.
43  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best altcoin to collect? on: September 21, 2017, 12:43:08 PM
In my opinion, one of the really promising Altcoins to collect is Stratis platform, which is actually developed to fulfill the objectives of business and service providers that are in need of C# blockchain applications to be developed, tested and used on the basis of the .Net framework. Considering the growing popularity of IT field nowadays, the demand for such platform may be really competitive.

No advertising here, just my opinion  Wink
44  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is ICO ? on: September 21, 2017, 12:23:44 PM
actually ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a new way to get investors or raise funds, if the old way by selling shares, ICO offers their coins which can then be traded in certain exchanges

ICO is one of models to do crowdfunding when participants of a project make investments into the company development and growth NOW in order to receive certain benefits IN FUTURE.

It could be the release of tokens designated to pay for platform services in prospect in the form of cryptocurrency. For example, when a project issues its own "currency" and exchanges it into one of the most popular cryptocurrencies or even the paper money, the ICO project could provide itself with needed funds and keep going to develop and grow.
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes you invest in an ICO on: September 20, 2017, 05:58:47 PM
I consider that the reasonable ICO potential based and evaluated on the white paper and other physical materials is the thing to start making the investments into.
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you read ICOs white paper before investing? on: September 20, 2017, 05:50:10 PM
As a rule, before making any investments into the ICO project, I carry out a thorough research about the ICO and its potential and benefits. Otherwise, it would be rather risky without any knowledge to invest into.
47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much time do the cryptocurrencies require? on: September 15, 2017, 01:59:29 PM
Once you decide to trade and/or invest into cryptocurrencies, how much time do you need to spend for that? Is it possible to combine trading and investing with your regular life or is it a full time job?
How much of your time do cryptocurrencies take?
Thank you in advance for your help Smiley

It depends on your determination and the sufficient knowledge you have about cryptos. It you choose to dive into it in full and for a long period of time, then it is possible that you won't have enough time to have another job. Apart from that, I think it's manageable to combine it with your real life.
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long before crypto get used in everyday life like internet is now ? on: September 15, 2017, 01:33:55 PM
I'd say that the Internet could not be compared with crypto because appearance of the Internet was timely and highly demanded thing among people. Even though crypto market is rapidly evolving, it's still doubtful whether the day when it is used in everyday life will come eventually. There is the conventional currency highly used and lawfully regulated in comparative relation to the cryptocurrency. So, it's hard to tell for sure how much it's needed.
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why to dive into ICO? on: September 13, 2017, 01:30:24 PM
I think if the ICO project is promising, then to be a part of it as the investor will give me the opportunity to get tokens and gain additional funds in return.
At the same time, a lot of preliminary work should be done about every ICO project before getting involved with it in full.
50  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How to buy flight per BTC. on: September 13, 2017, 01:02:51 PM
As Bitcoin is still developing, only few airlines applied Bitcoin as the payment method, namely CheapAir, BTCTrip and Expedia, although I would recommend to exchange bitcoins into the acceptable currency in order to avoid any difficulties on this matter.
51  Other / Archival / Re: Do you agree with idea "Bitcoin bank" ? on: September 11, 2017, 01:47:30 PM
I find this idea interesting, though the whole concept of Bitcoin is to be completely different from a traditional bank, without any centralized system. And now we are going to the similar thing as with the traditional bank.
Bitcoin advantages is not to be the BANK, but to be absolutely the opposite.
52  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? on: September 11, 2017, 01:41:20 PM
It depends on individuality of a rich person. I think Bitcoin requires a lot of time and effort to be dedicated in order to get profitable results, and if the rich person is lazy, no way would this person want to spend their own time in such a way, even if it may be profitable some day. The rich have many resources, including monetary, and if they consider Bitcoin to be not for their own benefit, they will not spend those resources on it.
53  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is my bitcoin stolen? on: September 08, 2017, 03:54:58 PM
If it is related to the Coinbase, you could always write a request with the problem to their Support Team (https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/emails/new).

I think the more requests, the more active the Support Team will respond to the existing issue.
54  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is this trading strategy profitable? on: September 07, 2017, 11:29:05 AM
To trade for your benefit you need to gain the fundamental knowledge of economic, political and social aspects all over the world, and you need to think analytically, outside the box in order to understand the trading trend and its potential movement either up or down. There always is the risk of losing, but unless you embrace it, you will not be able to make your trading strategy profitable.

Is your trading strategy based on your own experience and/or any other materials?
55  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have a future? on: September 07, 2017, 11:15:30 AM
I just read on Btcjam blog that they are closing down: https://blog.btcjam.com/2017/05/25/btcjam-is-closing/, now I am just wondering if big players in thebitcoin industry are closing down, is there any future for bitcoin really.

I came to know about bitcoin through btcjam when i was introduced there to borrow. Eve in this forum, looks most signature campaigns might close down because of the ever rising price of bitcoin. Most of them have reduced their payout amounts for posting by more than 50%. Is this a good sign or a bad sign for the bitcoin development?

Even if the Bitcoin crashes or disappears in future, it will be replaced by something else right away. But will it be the right replacement compatible with Bitcoin, that is the question.
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think that ICO can completely replace traditional financing from banks? on: September 06, 2017, 11:29:06 AM
It seems to me that it will be possible only in case of total revolutionizing today’s banking system. In some countries, ICO campaigns are simply prohibited. Also, Bitcoin network right now is rather weak, comparing to traditional banks, the system of which has been developing around the world for many decades. The process of taking ICO’s over IPO’s is realistic, but its complete replacement isn’t possible in the nearest future.



I agree. Apart from that, I think that banks could not be replaced because senior people won't fully trust ICO as they got used to traditional ways like banks, and anything different from it may get them really confused. Perhaps with time the situation of accepting ICO as so-called non-traditional way will change.
