462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you store your bitcoins? on: October 19, 2017, 05:42:08 PM
- i put it on Exchanges
- in Bitcoin Wallet designated on your country
or have a trezor to have a private key
it better to spread it for you to have a good nigh sleep Smiley

Storing it on a exchanger is not a good idea I think, because it might be lost forever, it might be in a good use if you are going to deposit your bitcoin on a exchanger to buy some tokens that you are going to Trade, in that way, you could even have more bitcoin and gain profits in the long run in that way, however, storing your bitcoin on hardware wallet like trezor just like what you have said is a good idea so far.

There's just no safe place on the Internet to store your bitcoin. Blockchain.info is a good online wallet but the email log in opens up a risk that once your email gets hacked, the hacker can just do a forget password and recover it with your email. I don't know about you but I don't really believe in Trezor because those devices might have some additional codes in them that sends your wallet seed to the manufacturer and they are going to harvest them altogether in the future. This is why I don't buy them aside from them being expensive. You can generate a bitcoin wallet with your phone, with your computer, etc. and you can be sure that you are safe by making that wallet generated offline or in a secure computer.

Others actually say to put your bitcoins in different places. Some in an exchanger, some in a gambling site, some in an online wallet, and some in a hardware or offline wallet. I think they do that to save money for transaction fee. But I don't think the amount that you are saving from that is enough to risk so much money.

It's in the bitcoin services section. The signature campaign was already over.
464  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: October 19, 2017, 05:16:11 PM
anyone who says they can predict the market or foresee a pump/drop is lying. It's simply not possible to foresee every single step of the market. Can you get better at it? Yes, but you'll never be able to buy at the topest high or at the lowest low (you might manage to do that some times, but the majority you'll be out). Just use normal techniques in trading such as stop loss orders, which don't require you to predict if things go good or bad. It's basically like a pillow and works wonderful to prevent further losses. You just say the price you are willing to sell and set the stop-loss order according to that, and that's it! Most people lose a fortune in the trading market because they are trying to ride the waves, which is a complete waste of time.

It's actually a technique for noob traders to hype the market by keeping on talking about it. I've been on facebook group chats and I had a "trading" group but they are just encouraging people to buy a certain coin. After a long time of being there, the "masters" have mentioned that they bought the coin for 2 digit satoshis and now the price of the coin is a couple of thousand satoshis. That's a lot of money already, right? But they are so greedy that they would trap newbies and convince them to buy that coin. I am aware that the coin is just some coin that is being hyped by people and it has no actual use. Just see what would people do just to hype a coin that they bought early on. It doesn't matter if newbies would spend a lot of money and end up being a bagholder of a shit coin. Once the coin goes down or experiences a hard dip, they are just telling the newbies (that they apparently brain washed) to just hold longer. It's no-brainer that it's also them that's been dumping the coin, convince the people to buy it, create some pump, and then sell some coin again. SMH
465  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can not replace fiat on: October 19, 2017, 05:01:17 PM
BTC can completely replace Fiat in countries with volatile currency
No, it can not. Bitcoin can only supply 21 million coins while we need to for the people. In fact, there are only less than 5 million coins are used by the people while others are lost because of the careless users. They lose the private key and they can not access their bitcoin address anymore. But, bitcoin can replace gold Wink gold is better than FIAT.

How sure are you that the rest of the coins are actually missing and that all those people have lost their private keys? While I doubt the number that you put there (5 million coins), I also doubt that these coins are all lost. It's possible that these addresses have owners that are just waiting for the right time to sell their coins. Just because a coin is sleeping doesn't mean it's dead. It's possible that they have another address that they use daily to buy/sell things and have their thousands of coins or hundreds of coins located in an offline wallet and the wallet seed is with them. It's not that hard to believe that there will be addresses that will wake up in the future. It's not hard to believe an address from 2012 will resurrect back to life and sell thousands of coins. We should expect this to happen because as the price is increasing, it becomes more and more tempting to sell your coins.

Another thing, there might be just 21 million coins but these coins can be divided into extremely smaller portions and I think that's more than enough coins for all of us.
466  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: October 19, 2017, 04:49:46 PM
If our governments can allows bitcoin be, I do believe that bitcoin can reduced or completely wipe out poverty from our society . Inflation is the couse of poverty in our society and inflation is couse by fiat and political self agradaizment. Many third world countries are in poverty today because they leaders used the fiat systems to steal and loot they treasury. Bitcoin will resolve this issue and poverty will be no more.


Bitcoin can help people improve their financial income however it can never end the world poverty since not all poor have access to internet. Most people who enjoys the benefit of bitcoin are the ones who are educated enough and has the resources to buy gadgets and computers.

But the people that are educated enough and have gadgets are almost everyone. Even the poor people can now afford smartphones because there are very cheap phones especially the second hand ones. Of course there are still people using old phones that can't connect to the Internet but I think having bitcoin users that came from poverty is a good thing because they can start helping other people once they have made enough money from bitcoins. I do think that even though not all have the opportunity to earn bitcoin, those who do can start a business and the poor people will have the opportunity to apply there. It's all a chain reaction and the help from bitcoin extends a long way even though others can't see it at all.
467  Economy / Economics / Re: Cashless society on: October 19, 2017, 03:38:57 PM
I don't think this will happen. We need gadget in order to make transaction to others. But how can the poorest of the poor can buy a gadget to use if they cannot even buy their foods.

I don't think you have to think about them at all. In every upgrade in the trend, there will be people lagging behind. They can't buy foods, then they have to work on that first before they buy a smartphone, right? Right now, we all have iPhones or some flagship Samsung phones, but if you take a look around, there are still people using fake phones from China or a basic phone that has a keypad and don't even have a camera. Even if they can afford food, they probably are not going to spend money on a smartphone just so they can join the cashless society. But that's just in third world countries. In first world countries, even homeless people have smartphones. It's only a normal thing to them to have a good smartphone because of their economy. They already evolved a lot more than other countries. I think that cashless society will happen first in first world countries and then the world will become 100% cashless once the third world people arrive to the point when standard phones aren't used by people anymore.
468  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin a good way to invest your money ? on: October 18, 2017, 03:13:15 PM
Never invest money you cannot afford to loose.

Invest with spare cash as a hedge.

That is the correct way to invest and grow your health.
There is a thing which is called risk taker. If you take risk then definitely you will earn some profit if you are not taking any risk you will never ever earn some money so it's better to invest. If you are investing into bitcoin. Then it is the most amazing thing. It is not even a risk i prefer to people invest into bitcoin because it will boost your profit on daily base.

First of all, not everyone who takes risks are making money from it and second of all, you can definitely earn profit even without having to take any risk. You can make money from signature campaigns. Is there a risk at all? Maybe in some altcoin campaigns but in bitcoin campaigns that have the funds escrowed? I don't think there's a risk at all. On the other hand, I agree with you on a different degree. Investing lets you earn profit and sometimes it's profit more than what you expect. I didn't really expect bitcoin to grow this much. Last year the price was just $600 and while I expect the price to rise, I didn't expect it to rise up to $5800. If I did, I should have hold all of my coins. I expected it to rise like $800 but never this much.

Bitcoin is a good way to invest your money but with the current price, it's becoming harder and harder to believe that because the price is already high. But then again this is what people also thought when the price of bitcoin was $4200 and then in just a couple of days the price of bitcoin went up to $5800. Obviously $5800 is not the highest price bitcoin will ever reach.
469  Economy / Economics / Re: Can bitcoin improve the economy of a country? on: October 18, 2017, 02:56:56 PM
I do not know, because I am also confused with this question. But if I see bitcoin is able to improved a person's economy,or but for a county I still have not found anything that can make sure I think by day by day it will be large position also be improved by day by day, because now a day it will grow up some.

Yes.Many people involved in bitcoin now.Many people quite their real Job and involved in bitcoin now. Since they get income from bitcoin, their life is depend on bitcoin .Hence the bitcoin involved in the development of country .Many people inverse Their salary in bitcoin to get profit from it.

The reason of quiting there job in reality is that they are not even getting profit to do these kinds of job while about bitcoin they are getting extra profit and less time it's mean that they can give a time to there family if they are a part of bitcoin. While other kind of jobs such a reality job they cannot even give a time to there family therefore they quite and go for uncertainties.
in my opinion everyone has already noticed that real physical work has never invited such incomes, which today give the opportunity to earn Bitcoin. I am very pleased that the crypto-currency has entered my life and I have got great opportunities to achieve my goals. If Bitcoin is available to every citizen of any country, it will only benefit everyone.

I think it's only in the third world countries where physical work is not profitable. In first world countries, everyone works in the office, everyone do art, everyone is knowledgeable and no one wants to build a house. They get their houses built. As you can see, there are agencies in third world countries that hire people to do labor like domestic helper, carpenter, factory worker, etc. because none of the people in the first world country wants to do those thing. Everyone wants something easy and everyone wants to make use of their knowledge and get paid for it.

So that's it, physical work is expensive in the first world but then obviously you don't live there. Knowledge work is paid a lot more in third world countries so cryptocurrency pays a lot more. Or simply because you are earning as much as first world crypto-earners, the only thing you have to do is to be competent and you're going to earn just as well.
470  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin better or paypal? on: October 17, 2017, 12:30:39 PM
the two services can't really be compared, they are both is the same industry (finance) but that's all it is about. The fundamentals of blockchain can't be compared to traditional transaction networks such as SWIFT or Paypal or anything else. Paypal doesn't use the blockchain and transactions are therefore not publickly available, which could theoretically bring some issues that blockchain could solve. From the other hand, Paypal has already a wide network and can process millions of transaction without network congestion, BTC is still struggling with that but hopefully things will get better with the upcoming forks.. When the network will be able to handle millions of transactions it will take a huge market share from Paypal and then paypal will be forced to implemented blockchain as well, just to keep up.

You don't have to find solution for this particular problem by yourself. We have each other and I think that's one of the reasons why bitcoin wasn't made to be a fail-proof with a flawless and real life transaction time. It's for us to improve it. Bitcoin is adaptive and it can be molded depending on our needs. Recently bitcoin used to have a huge transaction fee and so it was fixed. Paypal requires a huge amount of transaction fee. You can increase the transaction fee of your bitcoin transactions and decrease the waiting time. That's all on your but I do think that in the future, it will be solved. Remember that bitcoin can be updated and be optimized on how we want it to be. Bitcoin is still a lot more convenient and cheaper than the other ways of sending money. If you don't mind waiting and you like to save some money (from the transaction fee), then bitcoin is definitely for you.
471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think are the biggest disadvantages of Bitcoin? on: October 17, 2017, 12:06:47 PM
In my opinion the biggest disadvantage of bitcoin is limited, limited by 21 million. The other disadvantage of bitcoin is the price of it; sometime the prices are so low that your investments are losing and still difficult to sell.

If bitcoin was not limited, then bitcoin will have zero value at all. It's unlimited, therefore it doesn't have value or it doesn't have much value. You are either being sarcastic or plainly looking at things the wrong way. The price of bitcoin is a disadvantage how exactly? The people who started out on bitcoin a couple of months ago have already doubled, tripled, or ten-fold their money. So how is bitcoin being a good investment a bad thing? That's the cycle. Bitcoin might be of high price today but if you buy today, you're going to earn some profit in the future just like everybody else.

Yes, sometimes the price is low but you have to deal with it. You simply have to think that the price will go back up and that it's not mandatory to sell. It's okay to hold your bitcoin for a long time and it's probably the best way to maximize your earnings from holding bitcoin.
472  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we make more money? on: October 17, 2017, 11:16:09 AM
To be successful in whatever endeavor we may take in life i think we have to make use of our skills, our talents for us to succeed and earn money out of it. Aside from the job we have lets find another way, another source of income using our skills.

And that another source of income can either be a passive or an active income. I suggest that you do active income at first while trying to learn about the economy and the society that you're living at. The economy differs in every place, and the people have a different attitude about certain things at certain places. A side line is alright. You can tutor students. The pay rate is well in my country, I don't know in your place. In first world countries, the people that do not have a professional day job have to take multiple jobs in order to pay bills. That's not the case in third world countries. With just one job, you're alright here unless you have a big family and you have to feed all of them. The ones that are able to survive that type of expense are those that work abroad or those that work with a paid overtime, basically people burning out themselves to death and still live pay check to pay check.

In passive income, that's only for the people who have the time to do research about the investment that they are about to do and have the time to keep an eye on it.
473  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How to make 1 bitcoin in a month or 2? on: October 17, 2017, 10:59:32 AM
Hi, I am looking for a way to earn some money without invest(because I am broke), I can dedicate 2 hours a day in that. what can I do to make a bitcoin per month without any investment?
I don't think you can get 1 bitcoin in one month or 2 without investing and proper knowledge about bitcoin. Invest some money and know how to trade and you can get 1 bitcoin in 2 months. Also, join in the bounty campaigns here and you can earn coins to and trade it into bitcoin. One piece of advice too. Work hard at the same time work smart if you want to make 1 bitcoin.
Investment can give you bitcoins.But it is very difficult to earn 1 bitcoin. We can also investing a large amount of bitcoin in trading or real estate or purchasing some altcoins too. It is impossible to earn 1 or 2 bitcoins in a month without spending any money.Without any investment,you cannot earn such a big amount.You can borrow some bitcoins but that does not make any sense.You can lend some of your bitcoins at a high rate of interest.You can also try your luck in gambling.If you have patience,then you can also join various signature campaings that pay you decent amount weekly.

It is possible to earn 1BTC or 2BTC in a month without having to spend money. Who you know is very important in this world. If you have a connection to the people that knows about the incoming ICOs, then you can be their signature campaign manager in here by telling them even before they try to find one in this forum. Look at Yahoo, atriz, and all the other signature managers here. They surely know where to find the developers that are about to start their own ICO. The competition in this forum is quite tight so you have to be the first than everyone else. To do that, you should already have contacted the ICO developer before they post a thread here looking for a manager.

Signature campaign managers earn well but that's not the only job that pays well without any investment. You can also do freelance but then again you need some external help, someone who has contact to the clients.
474  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: October 17, 2017, 10:29:35 AM

Actually,reading your post an idea came my mind.We distribute all the old smartphones to poor people,or enable them an easy access to internet.
That way ,if you feel generous enough you can,at every moment,donate some of your cryptocurrency money directly to someone in need.
How amazing would that be,and I always hated all those charity organisations getting rich off of commissions.
Now you can directly and instantly make someone's life better and actually communicate with them.How awesome times we live in.

I think there's just a lot more things to address before you go and put a global internet for people. For example, there are places where people don't have potable water (or drinkable water). That is needed to survive daily life. I think that if you had the money to implement what you're thinking of, then you should also have enough money to put these people in a better area, in an area where there's good water. Another thing, there are places where the land is just no good at all. You can't plant a tree, and so animals can't live there. Plants are dead, so livestock is also dead. It's just a matter of time before all these people die. They are barely living and yet your answer was to give them an Internet and a smartphone. Even with that device, do they know how to read? Are their brains nourished enough in order to learn all these? Remember that malnutrition comes with consequences, it affects the body and the mind.

If you don't like charity organizations, then maybe go to the place itself and donate what you want to donate but I do think there are places where massive donations are illegal or donations are not accepted at all (even without the law).
475  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Criminality and Bitcoin on: October 17, 2017, 10:14:49 AM
Yes, bitcoin is helping the criminality.
We have to change some things on I think. More regulation will help bitcoin.


well shoes do, too. and knives. and telephones. every technology can be abused. where did the idea come from that a new technology should not be able to get abused? that is impossible.

regulate what? the (possible) criminal use of bitcoin? that is already regulated because it is illegal . the lawful use? why regulate that?

That is so true mate! Smiley Even fiat money that is regulated are subject to illegal use by criminals. Therefore, there is no way for us to be certain that once bitcoin will be regulated it will be free from criminal abuse.
well i think the number one reason why people do  crime is  the money ,poverty, i think bitcoin can really help to minus crime in reall life because bitcoin really gives an opportunity to the people without any requirement.maybe people did not commet crime if they saw that there are other simple way of making profit such us investing and trading bitcoin or maybe in joining signature campaign that was really a good contribution of bitcoin to the economics crisis it can really helps provide income to those ordinary people by then i think the crime will getting low.

Maybe, but I sort of doubt it. The people that are capable of doing signature campaign knows how to speak in English and that skill alone gives you some good choices for a day job with the proper training by the company itself. There are even jobs that only require you to know how to speak in English relatively well. I think that the people that commit crime are not necessarily those type of people. People know their worth and their skills. I think most of the people that commit crime are the people that are uneducated. They have no other choice but to commit crime in order to make money and they know for themselves that they lack the skill to change their lives. You're dumb, what are you going to do to make real money? You kill, you snatch from people, you steal from people. You basically have no choice because all you can offer is the physical part of you. You are lacking the intelligence or knowledge to be an employee that pays really well.

I think that bitcoin has opened up a door of opportunities for a lot of people. But it's not for everyone because some people are not able to digest the ideology of bitcoin.

477  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the best way to make money with bitcoin in 2017? on: October 16, 2017, 01:53:50 PM
The best way to make money with bitcoin in 2017 without investment is signature campaigns. Even with tons of hates by other users, we can't deny the fact that signature campaigns pay actually pretty well. If you're doing signature campaign, then you are already better than most bitcoin users because some are just doing rev share, MLM, networking, faucets, solving captchas, etc. Not only these money making method are a waste of time, but you are also deceiving other people because you got deceived by another person.

In case that you have some bitcoins in you and you are willing to risk them, then I suggest that you try trading. Trading requires time and practice but so does everything else. I think that trading is a skill. True, luck is needed but if you know the coin, you can project that it will pump in the future and so you're going to invest in it. Just think about the early traders of bitcoin. They invested and held bitcoin for a long time because they knew that it's a solid technology.
478  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: October 16, 2017, 01:40:11 PM

Definitely NOT, well it is impossible because poor one don't even have a gadget and an internet connection. Well it will be possible if someone will provide them pc and internet connection or another is when all the bitcoin users will give their money to the poor.

You are a bitcoin user, why don't you go ahead and start with the "bitcoiners give money to the poor" plan of yours? Be an example for us. Well, that's right. You're not giving it to them, right? There's just no love in this world which is so pure that you are ready to be broke just so you can help someone out. You are not Mother Teresa, none of us is Mother Teresa. In this modern world, people don't care about each other anymore. People only look at themselves because that's how the world have molded them. People have learned that other people don't care about them and so in return they ended up having zero care about other people as well. This is a "build your own empire" kind of world now. You will find people along the way that are willing to work with you but in the end, they are just doing it for their own good and ultimately be better than you. No one's a true friend these days.

This is not some sort of drama or rant, this is just the truth and I've done my research to see that a lot of people actually believe this same thing.
479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: October 16, 2017, 01:25:34 PM
Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ?

so its because transaction in Bitcoins occurs instantly, You pay a very small amount of fee for any transaction, Bitcoin rates against fiat currencies worldwide fluctuates a lot and the profits (and losses) could be very dramatic very soon, Bitcoin Network is Secure, Bitcoin transactions are anonymous. so the reasons behind ppl prefer bitcoin over fiat is security, fast transaction and universal nature.

I think when it comes to transaction time, bitcoin is actually slower. Unless you are willing to pay higher transaction fees, then your transaction is more likely going to take a couple of hours before it gets confirmed. Basically just think of it, as the transaction fee increases in bitcoin, the transaction time becomes lower. The transaction fee is high by default when transacting in fiat but the transaction time is really low. I think it's the same when it comes to that aspect. If you're willing to wait, just select bitcoin since it has cheap rate.

Along with all the obvious reasons (anonymity, cheap tx fee, security, etc) I choose bitcoin because the people that are selling digital goods on the Internet are only accepting bitcoins. Some in my place are also accepting load rebate but I think that's just a lot less convenient than having only one platform to transact with everyone on the Internet. Plus, the transaction fee is not as low.
480  Other / Off-topic / Re: Young people should go all in on bitcoin on: October 16, 2017, 12:38:54 PM
Forget about everything else and just put everything on bitcoin. You are living with your parents, they pay everything for you, you got nothing to lose. If I was living with my parents, I would save everything and buy bitcoin monthly. If BTC doesn't keep rising you can still reach the 21 BTC holder group, then save this and retire in 10 years when the price makes you a millionaire.

Go all in on regret later. You are on a privileged position to profit from high risk high reward moves. No risk no win, and BTC is the best long term high risk bet.


In my point of view all people should go all in on bitcoin because bitcoin is the easiest way to earn money.if you will just keep on working to ranked up then youll be able to earn higher amount and get rich so i highly recommend bitcoin if you want to get rich.

I assume that you are talking about signature campaigns because you have mentioned "work to rank up". I'm sorry to say but it's not just as much as you think it is. Signature campaigns is a good way to earn money because it keeps you occupied for a couple of hours. If you don't have much things to do, you can do signature campaign just so you wouldn't be bored to death. You have also mentioned that "all people" should go all in with bitcoin (signature campaigns context), but signature campaigns is nowhere near profitable for first world country people. Maybe if you are a campaign manager then signature campaigns are an "alright" way to make money. Otherwise, then it will not even be able to feed you in a first world country.

The day jobs there have far better pay rates. Just an hour and you'll get 15$. I don't know how much you guys make in signature campaign but I think it's only enough to buy the things that you need (for a third world), which is not that much tbh.
