441  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin isn't a legit currency. on: June 01, 2018, 09:13:13 AM
The first purchase using bitcoins was in 2009 when someone bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. Today, that would be worth $83,746,850. Many people have started to use Bitcoin and it is now the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Many countries whose currencies have become hyperinflated have thought about switching their national currency to Bitcoin. For something to be classified as money, it needs to be a good unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value. Since Bitcoin has become extremely popular, I wanted to explain to investors and Bitcoin users that Bitcoin isn't a legit currency. The main three reasons why Bitcoin isn't a legit currency is because it is a poor unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value.
   One of the big three parts of a currency is that it is a good unit of account. For something to be a unit of account, people have to be able to compare its price to the prices of alternative retail goods. Since the value of a bitcoin changes so much, it would be hard and confusing for both the consumer and the seller to recalculate the prices every day. “Because the value of a bitcoin compared to other currencies changes greatly on a day-to-day basis, retailers that accept the currency have to recalculate prices very frequently, a practice that would be costly to the merchant and confusing to the consumer.” This quote from David Yermack’s article Is Bitcoin a Real Currency? An Economic Appraisal Bitcoin shows why Bitcoin isn't a good unit of account. That is one reason why Bitcoin can't be a form of currency and why Bitcoin isn't a legit currency.
   The second part of something that is classified as a currency is that it is a medium of exchange. A medium of exchange is an intermediary instrument used to facilitate the sale, purchase or trade of goods. Since bitcoin doesn't have any intrinsic value, so its worth is held up by its usefulness as a currency in the consumer economy. The Youtube video “Why Do Banks Fear Bitcoin” by VisionVictory explains that there is a set amount of Bitcoins and by the year 2140, there will be a total of 21 million bitcoins. Miners have already mined 11.9 million of them, and this means that there is only 9.1 million left. Once all of it is mined, there won’t be any more left to be mined. Dollar bills can be printed by the U.S. government if they were needed. Some more reasons why Bitcoins isn't a good medium of exchange are that Bitcoins transactions each take around 10 minutes each, which is very slow compared to using a credit or debit card, which takes a few seconds. Also, Bitcoin transactions can cost around $20, which is extremely expensive. Because of all of these reasons, Bitcoin can't be a good medium of exchange, which is very important if it were to be a legit currency.
   The third and final part of a currency is that it has to be a good store of value. A store of value means that the function of an asset that can be saved, retrieved and exchanged at a later time. In the long podcast on Youtube by Paul Vigna & Michael Casey: ‘The Age of Cryptocurrency’, they explain what a decentralized currency is. Bitcoin is an atrocious store of value and one of the reasons why is because of its constant hacking attacks and other security problems. This is mostly because Bitcoin is decentralized, which means that there is no central authority that can stop any Bitcoin transaction or any hacking attempts. One of the reasons why Bitcoin is so popular is because people can stay anonymous and make transactions without people knowing who they are. The downside of using a decentralized currency is that people can do illegal things anonymously and get away with it. And also, Bitcoin’s exchange rate has no correlation at all with any other big currencies like the Dollar, Euro, and Yen. This makes Bitcoin extremely risky to use because it is tethered to any other currencies so its’ value would change constantly. This shows how terrible of a store of value Bitcoin is and why it cannot be a legit currency.
   Tons of people are jumping on the “Bitcoin Bandwagon” without doing their own research on it, and they’re going to lose a lot of time and money because of this. They need to realize that Bitcoin is not a legit currency because it fails to be a unit of account, medium of exchange, and a store of value.




Due to decentralization of bitcoin no one has access to control bitcoin that is the reason centralized countries deny to support or legal bitcoin in their country!!
442  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are still buying Bitcoin? on: June 01, 2018, 09:08:20 AM
Because bitcoin is the only currency which has high potential and stablility in their price, price of bitcoin is low nowadays but in future it will definitely rise!!
443  Other / Off-topic / Re: BYE BYE BTC on: June 01, 2018, 09:04:43 AM
There is a fluctuation in bitcoin price but no one can say that it will die, bitcoin will be the next future currency. NOTE todays date right after 4-5 months you will say that bitcoin has high potential invest in bitcoin Tongue
444  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the reasons behind banning cryptos? on: May 28, 2018, 04:52:42 PM
Decentralization of crypto is the main problem to any country because people use these platforms for criminal activities like money laundering and government officials are unable to trace them because transactions are invisible. That is the reason why government don't support crowdfunding.
445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH or LTC long term? on: May 28, 2018, 04:46:07 PM
Ethereum without any doubt because of high potential, LTC is a good currency but for long term i suggest ETH. ETH is the best and popular currency after bitcoin..
446  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: coins for 2x profit on: May 28, 2018, 04:44:45 PM
Invest in Aeternity you will get 4x profit.
447  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I invest only in ICOs on: May 28, 2018, 04:39:36 PM
I am not in the favour of investing in ICOs because you have to wait for so long sometimes you have to wait for 1 or more year and after listing of that coin or token you will get nothing but loss because most of the ICOs failed to reach their hard cap so after listing their price is low and those who invested faces a loss !!
448  Economy / Economics / Re: So many cryptocurrencies ! on: May 28, 2018, 04:36:15 PM
This is the reason why we face difficulty in seeking potential currency to invest. And one more drawback of that much currencies is new people face loss because they invest in scam projects and then they fear to invest even in potential currency.
449  Economy / Speculation / Re: Perfect Time to Buy! on: May 28, 2018, 04:33:26 PM
if you want to do trading.must you need to follow prices rate.when rate dumping that time buy is the perfect time.then we can hoped future for success


Wise traders see graphs before investing in altcoins. Before investing do some research on that project and ask experienced traders about these currencies and the invest in any coin.
450  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin has dropped so invest more on: May 28, 2018, 04:25:56 PM
Don't panic because if the price drop deeply you are affected too. The price of the bitcoin falling and now is $7400 and it is good to buy more bitcoin because anytime the price will increase again at $10,000 before end of this month. Just relax and see the price increasing again.

Exactly always do trading wisely and when you buy something don't sell till the reach their highest level....Buying of bitcoins nowadays is a good move and those who hold bitcoin will get good profit in coming month..
451  Economy / Speculation / Re: What would be better on: May 28, 2018, 04:23:44 PM
Yeah now is when a lot of traders are probably selling after purchasing around 6k. this time buy more Btc or ETH ? Or Both ? To trade with of course... thanks a lot
It is better to buy bitcoins now because it's price is low.  You can also trade if you're not buying bitcoinss.  Just be wise in trading, buying,  selling and hodling.


Forget the word selling because all currencies are down so focus on buying and if you don't have capital to buy then hold the coins which you have already in your wallets.
452  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin ever be 20k again? Why or why not? on: May 28, 2018, 04:20:38 PM
Finding the right time for investment is very difficult. It is difficult to perfect the entry to a specific market. You need to have a long-term perspective on all kinds of investment to reduce the risk of volatility and risk of losses.
If you are considering investing in the Bitcoin, Do you think it is positive in the long-term investment? Why is that?


This is the right time to invest in bitcoin and other crypto currencies for long term because all currencies are at their lowest price from previous 4-5 months so after decline everything will rise so invest now and get some real profit in future.
453  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price lowest this month on: May 28, 2018, 04:16:23 PM


As this chart slows the Bitcoin price drops to $7,200 which is at this moment the lowest of this month. Will the price start to increase again? Check out the chart


Bitcoin price start increasing in October/November of this year and we will see bitcoin is at their highest price by the mid of December.
454  Economy / Speculation / BITCOIN DIE !!! on: May 28, 2018, 04:11:41 PM
Bitcoin reaches their lowest level which is 7,142$, many people have thoughts that bitcoin is die at it will not rise again but they don't know that investors are happy to see this much low price they are buying bitcoins and by november we will see bitcoin growing. So if you want to get some real profit invest in bitcoin now !!!

455  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Before Investing in Cryptocurrencies on: May 28, 2018, 03:43:28 PM
Invest only spare money so if price falls then you don't need to exchange that currency in low price. One thing invest only in those altcoins which have strong team behind.
456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Government and Bitcoin on: May 28, 2018, 03:35:58 PM
Why, until now, government all over the world still doesn't trust bitcoin?


People answered this question many times, Because of decentralization of bitcoin governments are afraid to legalize it in their country because they don't have control on these transactions so people can use this for money laundering etc.
457  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why the Cryptocurrency Market Is Falling on: May 28, 2018, 03:33:11 PM
The market is completely dependent on supply and demand. When there is a very high demand, then the price grows and when there is no demand, the price falls.


Price falls when supply of that thing is high and demand is low as compared to supply then price start decreasing...

460  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH vs ADA on: April 07, 2018, 06:10:37 PM
Cardano is currently worth about 1/10thish of ETH. Is it fair to assume that by the end of the year ADA will get close to par with ETH? Buterin is not a mature leader by all means, he threatened to leave that project a few times. Uknown inflatiom and fewer ico's will pressure ETH for some time. On the other hand we have Cardano much more appealing project. So my question remains, will ADA capture large market share from ETH ?

Both are good for investment purpose because of high potential in crypto world but for me ethereum is more important as they have their own Blockchain and many companies uses their Blockchain so definitely Eth is best as compared to Ada.
