Thank the fucking lord with all of this, I can't even begin to fathom the idea that BUG COIN, oh I'm sorry, BTU has actually lasted this long when it first came out that an issue in the code caused their nodes to all crash at the same time. I guess this is just another rude awakening to all the Chinese miners that are bought and paid for by Ver and Wu that they should just abandon this project.


Wu is a cancer and I would pray to god that one day he rains down upon Wu for taking all of the bitcoin community hostage in order for him to make some more money on his mining operation. Hope he gets it one day.

This is one of the reasons a lot of families (with children of course) actually collect their kids and their friends phones when they come to the door to ensure that they aren't using their phones the entire time and people are actually interacting with each-other. It's a good alternative and could force a kid to stop though it doesn't seem very bright as kids love to do things their parents don't like in the least.

Using your phone too much is also looked down upon, at least while you're in social situations and avoid them to play on your phone. So I could fully understand the pain you'd be in regarding all of this.

I do applaud OP here for actually getting the phone out of your hands and starting to live life, may seem like something so small but it's hard me for me to put the phone down and lots of other people. It's easy to be attracted to everything the internet has to offer.

I would simply say that China and Japan are probably leading in this due to the insane amount of stress instilled upon them by family, government, boss, teachers, and so on and so forth. This type of stress, at least the level of it really isn't present in the Western countries, such as the US where I live. People are stressed, don't get me wrong it's not like we're all chilling and everything but people don't hit the same level nor even close to it.

It's insanely sad to see the drive for success of people lead to the death and suicide because people aren't living up to the expectations of others so they take their own lives, I would only hope someone could address this issue and these people who are on the verge of doing such a thing don't pull the trigger.

Bad choice to fix a short term problem with a permanent solution like this, something you can't turn back on and are going to force your family, friends, others and so on to suffer because of this too.

With the current state of the scaling solution right now with Bitcoin, I think this is something that is driving people away from actually going ahead and using Bitcoin because it seems as if we're in a civil war here, and we are to a certain extent. Though, the people on the side of Segwit are fighting for what's right while on the people on the side of BUG COIN are attempting to do a centralized takeover of Bitcoin cause Ver and Daddy Wu said that they should (paid off too)

Once we address the scaling problem through SegWit, we'd actually be able to get more people to join Bitcoin as the tx fees would start to go down from the bloated point in which we're at now. I simply see tx fees being high as the single highest rate of people just going "Well, I could just use my credit card"

SEGWIT

I guess you've found the way to never dying then bud, making an outrageous claim that'll never occur and then say you won't die till it happens

I can't see this price ever man, I don't even know what you're saying when you think that 50k could ever be something that'd be buying ONE BITCOIN That means that someone would actually feel the need to buy Bitcoin at that price, wait NOT ONE PERSON. You'd have to have everyone who's buying Bitcoins to be buying at that price too.

It's never going to reach that point and if it does no one is going to use it due to the volatility, we need to hold at a certain price, like right now so people can come along board and not be scared of losing their savings in this crypto.

But simply, all of this information is just making the guess / choice you're making more educated here it's not like you're going to be able to have better luck on the workings of technical analysis it's still going to be the same guess that someone could have if they were just monitoring the coins news itself / bitcoin in this case.

Trading and Gambling are close in nature when you think about it, the two of them attempt to get people to take guesses to see if they can make some money off of this The only difference between the two is that in trading you can minimize the chance of loss of funds though.

But I'd still says it educated guessing, as ANYTHING could happen in the market and you'd never know what the fuck just happend if you're not one of those whales that could pull some crazy stuff off by themselves.

Senator nor anyone in the government isn't going to be fighting for bitcoin just based on personal preference, they're going to do it if they lobbied too and they're not going to do anything if they're lobbied against it. Everything in politics (and the world) is revolved around people gaining money and furthering them self, so I wouldn't count on the Senator in order to do such a thing, they're bought and paid for by big businesses.

The only way for government to MAYBE start accepting Bitcoin would be if Bitcoin had so much support that the government could gain more in taxes or other revenues if they accepted Bitcoin as one of the payment methods, they could save money by not having to enforce this Bitcoin issue and the people would be happy to buy with their crypto.

I think it really matters show hands this all ends up in and what their intentions are going to be with it, I would think the US military already has this tech and is using it in many ways in order to get rid of the Terrorism problem. But the thing is, what if a tech so strong like this ended up in the hands of terrorists themselves or someone who would like to incite a war in order to gain money from the military industrial complex.

I'd have to agree heavily that it's inevitable and will happen, the only thing we can do is keep pushing it off in order to not be killed faster.

This kind of stands true with a good amount of companies though, they're not going to do anything unless you make it so you threaten their image on a large scale and then they'll fall to your demands. It's pretty horrible that's how this all works but it make sense from a business standpoint, why would you help someone who's gonna give up on the cause soon?

Would rather just be able to keep the money and be free and clear.


Oh they'll notice bud, don't you worry.

This is something which I love from our President, I feel it's something that you be able to see that this President isn't as rehearsed as past presidents who have a career in Politics. Trump is simply being genuine and funny with the people he's talking too.

This could be one of the many reasons that he's a successful real estate devloper as people do like something that is genuine with them.


Hate when people use that comment but it really does show the President just simply kidding around with someone, it's not like he's being rude or anything.

Sadly, this is kinda how the world works in a lot of regards, people with a lot of talent and reputation throw it all a way for a few bucks and a pat on the head from the people who they think are in power. People go the way of the money and in this case, VIABTC is simply going to follow Jihan and LORD VER for the money in which they'll throw at them for doing that.


You really don't have to know what you're talking about when someone is paying you to say it anyway - that's just my take on the entire issue.

A Bitcoin investment used to be a lot more risky, this would be I say around a year ago based on the volatility of the market and in one day you could lose 10 percent of your value in Bitcoin if you were holding but it could also go the other way! (Never happend to me I'm not that lucky) The risk isn't as high now, but Bitcoin as a whole is still a currency that has these fluctuations now it just takes a week for this all to happen instead of a day and so on.

This is still more of a better investment than other cryptos such as the many altcoins but still very risky. May want to explore the stock market before doing something so drastic like buying into this.

The thing you should probably be doing with this survey, is attempting to approach being in person to be able to get some stores that aren't online stores (as the majority of the ones that you're going to get from here are going to be) and you'd be able to get all this information from the narrative of someone who actually runs a shop and probably has this as the last used payment method.

Crazy thing about Bitcoin as I can't really see it taking over a store environment based on the simple fact that it really couldn't be used to buy anything cheaper $15 or less without making it seem less worthwhile as It's going to cost .50 cents for the Trans fee.

But, good luck on the study as a whole!

Even though this is wonderful and all, it's not like it's going to change anything in the least. All it's going to do right now, is to let some of the people that are pumping LTC have a bit more fuel to the fire and make a little bit more money out of it as the price is going higher and higher.

What this may do is show the miners for BTC that it may be more worth it to actually go ahead and switch to Segwit signaling but I doubt it's going to sway much of an opinion over here.

UASF is the only way for us to adopt SW, please!

Digital Cash, Digital Gold simply wouldn't work based on the simple narrative of that Gold can't really be used as cash in anyway in person at all while cash can be used to buy things like it's meant to do.


Mining Process is something that I wouldn't really compare as one is a computer solving problems to confirm legitimacy and another is ACTUALLY MINING with machines and such.


Well, you could probably say Bitcoin is like a ton of other items due to the similarity in price. Wouldn't use that to call them similar It's cash bud.

Yeah I'd say the biggest difference between the two is that Bittrex is more along the lines of Yobit when it comes to the coins they add, they add the coins that are shitty and submitted by people who simply have them in order to pump them. There's no other reason for a site like this in the least.

Poloniex on the other hand holds coins which actually have a pretty high market cap and daily trading volume such as XEM,XRP,XMR,ETH,ETC, and so on and so forth. These are coins which COULD be used (they're not but they could be) based on the tech that is actually behind them which is pretty nice too.

So, Poloniex all the way

It really matters how efficient the government is in the programs in which they provide to deter people from being homeless. If there isn't much oversight over a certain program like the block grants in the US for community development, it could lead to the money that is supposed to be going to the poor folks just being wasted by politicians.

If the money is used well, it could actually help to ensure that less homeless people are prevalent due to the community being built in order to house them. I would have to say in the end here, it depends on government and competency and the amount of greed people in the government / hired employees for gov have.

Sad, but that's just how the world works.

CNN came out with it saying that it was all tied up around 23 percent for both Le Pen and Macaron and other report came out saying that Le Pen was in first, gosh all these fucking different news companies and their bullshit.

Though, I'd like to ask ya why you'd be supporting Macaron over Le Pen just to see what you think about him? I personally am a supported of Le Pen but It's always nice to hear what the other-side has to say about their candidate.


Thanks bud.

I know some people are probably going to come on this thread and say something along the lines of "Yes, because God knows the plan in the end" or something along those lines but I probably wouldn't be listening to god on this one, for godsake these children would be my flesh and bones and I wouldn't be able to do something like this without regretting it forever.

I'm not too religious and maybe this could simply be playing a factor in all of this as I don't feel a large connection to God even though I do beleive he is there, this is just something that I couldn't do for him and he'd have to just take it and understand.

So, no.

It's simple, I wouldn't. I think this is something that socialist countries in Western Europe feel is worth it but I've never really been one to understand why it'd be a good idea to just give people money for nothing, the only reason I'd be giving people money is if they'd be working for me or providing me a service in some way.

This is just going to lead to a government or an individual wasting a ton of money on something that isn't really going to do anything except cause inflation (If Gov) as they'd be printing money to simply give away and then these people would be inciting an increase in spending and so on.

So, don't do it and it'd simply just be a waste of money bud.
