I think it is a case of a few rotten apples making it hard to trust even the honest, well meaning ICOs, you have to do your own research and make sure the information is legit

I think a more interesting question is, why does God hide himself from some people but not from others? We hear all these stories about personal experiences with God. How come God chooses to reveal himself in such cases?

For some people, they never had any experience at all. This is mind boggling to me.

Possible, the level of trust in authority figures have plummeted and the freedom of the internet helps to usher in this era of truth at a more accelerated pace
404  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Was BTC drop caused by manipulation? on: November 30, 2018, 01:58:47 AM
How can the drop in the price of bitcoin be caused by manipulation? The drop in the price is as a result of people having enough bitcoin selling their coins at a price they think bitcoin should be. Since the system is a decentralized one, everybody has the opportunity to sell their coins at any price.

You are right but you have to remember that human beings are psychological creatures, not perfectly rational beings. If several major players collude to dump bitcoin, it will cause the price to fall fast creating panic among holders. The weak hands start selling off/dumping in fear of further price fall and this creates a snowballing effect. The mass sell off causes price to fall further, causing even more panic and more dumping, price falls even further, more panic, more price falling...

It becomes a vicious cycle.

Exactly. I don't disagree with you at all.

Many who believe in God does not do so because they believe in talking snakes and stoning people stories, but because they had a strong spiritual and mystical experience that science fails to answer.

Even though they will be buying a ton now that the price is low, I don't believe that will give them any control, they still need people to sell it to and will never be able to have control over your coins.

Exactly, and suppose they do offer you enough money to sell, maybe you might change your mind about holding on to Bitcoin. Do you have sentimental value in keeping Bitcoin, aren't you more interested in making profits?
407  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A Question to Atheists ? on: November 30, 2018, 12:51:05 AM
Ah yes, this is like Pascal's Wager

Richard Dawkins, a well-known atheist, proposed a way to win this wager. He postulated the idea that God might reward those who have an honest disbelief in God and actually punish those who have faith in God blindly. He reasoned that the Supreme Being would surely value honesty and logical reasoning, and see no value in blindly following others' beliefs.

What is wrong with fiduciary money, it is a type of money all the same. I think what you are saying is you prefer not to let it be regulated by banks and financial institutions, rather you want it to be completely decentralized. I understand your point, but what we can do about it? These guys are powerful and they have strong lobbying power too.

You are right, being an atheist does not mean one is a Christian-hater, an atheist can be as loving and as kind as any other person.

Do not be afraid that the big players like financial institutions and major organizations will take over, it is better to have them because their possession of btc ensures the price does not crash too much, because if it does even they would lose

Two Facts of Life
1. You can not convince an atheist to believe in God
2. You can not convince a God-believer to become an atheist.

#2 is not true.

I was a strong believer, then I turned 12.

Did someone convince you to change your belief, or did you change your own belief by yourself?

The crytocurrency is recovering from a recent slump, who knows the future trend, will it continue to rise or will it be a false dawn

414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Whose advice you take when it comes to Bitcoin? on: November 29, 2018, 10:31:32 PM
I have to do my own research, not follow experts' advice because ultimately I put my fate in my own hands

With the growing number of infrastructures and institutional investors in Bitcoin, I think it possesses substantial market value.

It absolutely matters as government is extremely powerful and high influential in all areas of business and commerce.

For me, the religion of the man has nothing with do with the act of killing another human being. He could have been any guy wanting to explore an exotic island for fun.

I think a better analogy would be assuming that this island is private property belonging to the Sentinelese. When we reach their shores, we enter private property, and just like in any civilized nation, entering private property could get you shot and killed. It is not condoning murder, it is for the protection of the land owners.
420  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is bitcoin reduced price an opportunity to buy? on: November 29, 2018, 04:56:11 PM
It is possible that people want to take advantage of a reduced price to make a quick profit when the price bounces back up.
