481  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much money do you need to be absolutely satisfied? on: May 24, 2018, 06:54:56 PM
We all know, that happiness can't be bought with money and life is so much more than that.... BUT It is still so much easier and more comfortable when you have extra money and don't think where to find more every minute of your life. I'm sure each of us has a sum in mind, which will satisfy them completely, let's share it here)) I'll start

Before answering your question I need to highlighting the fact that why do you think money will bring you satisfaction? Normally peoples cannot get satisfied with money factor. People's satisfaction for money is just like animals whose following mirage in the dessert, never be achieved. The most important thing in life is
be happy with what you have Smiley

Any body can get merit from Brand New to Legendary to Administrators.... only requirement is "quality post".
I don't agree with your post that only requirement is quality post . I didn't seen any newbie who have got any marit though some of them have posted quality posts.I feel it's just like some of the higher rank members are hiding behind the fairytale of Quality Post thing. If any newbie can't get single merit does that mean they can't post anything good at all? Instead of Quality Post thing why everyone can say ,the bitter truth of "newbies couldn't get merited" unless they rank up as a junior member or above.That's fine for me, because as a newbie we should learn and contribute to the forum before gets any merit just like other higher rank members who have done tremendous contributions to the forum by sharing their knowledge. Btw following post also got a merit

I wonder who the first one to 15 million merits will be Wink

I like this change a lot. Hopefully we'll see an increase in post quality.
P.S - only just quated for highlighting my point, not for criticising by any means Smiley

The ones, who were created by a few codes and clicks are not "currencies" at all, as they are called tokens or assets.

Bitcoin's primary value is being a community currency. Being unowned, decentralized and offering everyone to be their own banks is something we can't dismiss...

Agreed, nowdays anyone can create a token with few codes( sometimes we don't want to know anything about coding and just pay few dollars to some freelancer and can create a token) You can even find YouTube vedios also how to create a token in few minutes with few bucks.But those are not not currencies as you mentioned. Bitcoin is the father of all the altcoins.

By making changes it doesn't affect the value but it could encourage a lot of people who used to hate the currency back then because of how unusable it was several months ago. When Bitcoin Cash was released Bitcoin was expected to go down but it went the other way around. There's a couple of solutions for this like having a Segwit address and Lightning Network for now not a lot of people use them but in the future it'll be a huge help for all of us once the network becomes busy.

Really nice explanation with the answers for my another clouded area ( what are the solutions Bitcoin can get in order to compete with other alternative networks when network becomes busy?). Now I got cleared some of the doubted areas where I should searched like segwit address , lightning network etc..Now I feeled what actually this kind of a forum can do for enhancing other people's knowledge. Sharing knowledge, it's like cutting a diamond which shines everytime when it cuts and polished.Thanks again Smiley

I think bitcoin primary value is someday decrease or increase
             
Do you expect anything else will be happening to bitcoins primary value rather than decreasing and increasing Smiley. Since 2008 bitcoin has faced several crashes and depreciation in value, but it always found a way to recover by any means. That's BITCOIN dude.

Hi, I am still learning about block chain and bitcoin. Some of peoples are saying that bitcoins primary value comes from it's "censorship resistance" and some of them are argued it's primary value proposition comes from as a fact that bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash system.I am some what in a confusion and I want to know what you guys are thinking? Smiley

I don't believe that bitcoin's value comes from a single source, but a multitude of reasons.

But if you want the primary reason, then I believe that its value is derives from its ability to serve as money. It's immutable, and not manipulable by governments, and thus, people have a demand for bitcoin as money.

It's similar to how gold has value, because it was the best thing available as a decentralized form of money many centuries ago.

Decentralization, and a strict cap on the supply of coins is where bitcoin's value comes from. If bitcoin was centralized, then I doubt it'll have any value at all, simply because it can't fulfill any purpose.

Totally agree, and this is why I am concerned with the movement of so called hodlers and a believe growing in our community, that the currency-like usecase of Bitcoin is irrelevant. Also, I  watch spikes in transaction fee level (whenever the Bitcoin price becomes volatile) with concern and I don't like when this and that and the next merchants drops bitcoin from accepted payment methods.
When it comes to new technologies there is also a bump in the road. If everybody began using it as intended the network would look a lot different 9 years into it. We need more time for these infant markets to mature, more investors to enter, and the price to rise. After all those have happened, people will spend freely. I don't think we will see this in the next year or two, but after 2020 I fully expect Bitcoin to be an everyday currency in which we buy our groceries, gas, and clothes with.

I also think bitcoin will be an everyday currency in coming years. But i doubted weather it will comes before 2020 if following rumors are true

1) Nasdaq going to launch their own crypto exchange where people can exchange fiat currency into cryptocurrencies. They will be mostly focusing
    on adding BTC,LTC,BCH,ETH. So fresh money will be entering into crypto market.

2) NYSE(New York Stock Exchange) also will be developing a trading platform where investors can BUY, HODL and SELL bitcoins (NYSE having a
    market cap of around 21 Trilloion USD)

3) Goldman Sachs also planning to start a trading platform where bitcoin can be traded against fiat currency(USD). Goldman Sachs is the fifth-
     largest bank in the US by total assets worth 916 Billion USD

Here is a little gem of knowledge that's often omitted from all activity calculator discussion: If you make more than 14 posts a fortnight, they don't go to waste. The excess posts will count as additional activity in the future activity periods where you've made less than 14 posts.
This really motivates me to posting more than 14 posts per two week period,this information I never found earlier in this forum and again big thank you for your valuble contribution for the forum and such a great way of explaining facts which I didn't know before Smiley

Why would that motivate you to post more?
You should post when you have something to say, not because of some post counting system.
I've done a lot of reading since I joined but posted just few times.


I have been reading and learning since day one though I have not posting " I've done lot of reading" Smiley.Further if I want to post only for counting thing then i only need to post just one post per day just like you. But I want to be a part of this forum and interactive with other members,not only for say hi or to be one liner. Do you think that everyone want to be just like you.No I'm different and btw feel free to check what I have posted and then criticise Smiley

One of the problems with English is that it obeys certain basic rules, except when it doesn't. Smiley

Ypur future options such as "be going to have been" sound very cumbersome to me, and I'm not sure where I would use them.


Yeah,thanks for pointing out that Smiley.But I have seen that some people's are writing "He is going to have been working for three years when it finally closes." Do you think this kind of practice is grammaticaly wrong or just cumbersome to people?

I think this one may help you to understand about bitcoin's value and the things that determine it.
Why does Bitcoin have value and how is the price determined?
https://www.luno.com/blog/en/post/how-bitcoin-price-determined

Thanks for your tip and i read the article Smiley .But i don’t agree with this statement "Through network effects, we’re starting to see exponential growth, which creates value as more and more people start using Bitcoin and more merchants accepting it as a means of payment" which quoted from that blog. In peer-to-peer electronic cash system, the most important features will be its network of participants and the cost to the end user; if Bitcoin is unable to compete and maintain its lead on market share, the network of participants will simply migrate to another network having lower fees and higher speed.In that scenario Bitcoin primary value can be lowered by comparison to current value. What do you think?

Though I don't do Airdrops anymore. But when I was a newbie, I remember, There were many good Airdrops! And maximum Airdrops was valuable. Some Airdrops hadn't any ICO or crowdsale, but they are still in the market.

At the present time, Getting a good airdrop is like getting a moon on hand! But Your point of view is very much good. I can ensure you if you follow these tips then you can easily avoid scam, shit Airdrops. 

Nowadays even some projects are doing ICD instead of Airdrops or crowdsale.I really like "getting a moon on hand" comment.btw thanks for your thoughts.
493  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to avoid scam Airdrops on: May 19, 2018, 05:02:30 PM
I try a nice method to avoid the scam. If it is the scam it doesn't matter, because they could not steal my information.

I use the separate email address, Separate MyEtherwallet unknown for Airdrop. Most of the good bounty program has well-organized airdrop. Airdrop is one the best method get some free coins Smiley

I am totally agree with your method and which is my practice too.I also think well organized Airdrops are one of the best methods to get free coins or tokens.Btw, thanks for standing by my side against people's who are saying Airdrops are worthless Smiley

How to avoid scam Airdrops-It does not take part! The time you spend on registration can be used in a more profitable lesson!

I think peoples should do Airdrops when they have free time and not their learning time.Sometimes the time you spend on registration can be paid off hugely like ontology Airdrop which gave 1000 tokens per registration and sometimes don't.So we can't say don't waste time for registrations for every occation.
495  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to avoid scam Airdrops on: May 19, 2018, 07:06:23 AM
I don't have much experience with airdrops but they used to be rare and somewhat targeted. Now it seems everyone and their grandma is doing an airdrop. It's probably not worth it for the most part. Don't give away personal information and certainly not wallet private keys. All they should need from you is an address. The KYC thing is tricky. Of course anyone doing financial business is supposed to comply with those regulations. However, I suspect lots of scams are using the KYC excuse to lure you into giving them way more data than is warranted even with KYC.

If you want to earn cryptocurrencies from projects, find a legitimate project and network with the developers and in that process let them know your skills. Also look for ways you can contribute and offer to do so. Often you can work out deals where you get paid x amount of the coin for your work. Those types of "bounties" have generally worked out very well for me.

Yeah I had to agree with your opinion and thanks for the information

You forget the main thing   to look for  when talking  about scam ico  ( scam airdrop)  which is the team  .  Always look for the team  if you find just random people  picked from linkedin that have no connection  with the project  its a 100 %scam and if you did not find a team   then  it's  a 1000 % scam  .  Since the scamer will lose his reputation , most scamers will try to hide them selfs .

Hi, Did you forgotten to read my first post Smiley . I assumed that you're talking only about BIXBITE Airdrop thing. In that case i didn't want even looking for the team, because i only spend few seconds to check their Twitter and it's scam in the first place.But overall scenario I didn't forgotten the TEAM factor at all, that's why I mentioned TEAM and their Linkdn under factor 3 in my first post.

" like most currencies, the fundamental reason that bitcoin has value is that people agree that it has value"

it is true but also misleading because it is incomplete.
people don't just randomly decide bitcoin has value. it has some fundamental reasons. otherwise a lot of other things like grain of salt would have also been worth $20000 for example!
it is the utility of bitcoin that gives people a reason to give bitcoin a value. it is the fact that bitcoin is a decentralized and censorship resistance currency that makes them want to buy more of it (creates demand) and that demand increases its price.

Totally agree with your explanation, but do you think censorship resistance currency will always make peoples to buy more while it has also some issues like,we can't stop transactions once made on the block chain.
