Freedom of payment - any amount of money can be paid and received instantly and anywhere. No bank holidays, no borders, no imposition. Bitcoin allows its users to completely control their money.

Very low fees - there is no handling charge or very little handling fee for the current payment of bitcoin. The user can include the handling fee in the transaction to obtain processing priority and receive the transaction confirmation from the network faster. In addition, there are merchant processors that help merchants deal with transactions, convert bitcoin into legal tender daily and deposit funds directly into merchants' bank accounts. Because these services are based on bitcoins, they can provide a much lower fee than PayPal or credit card networks.

Reduce the risk of merchants - bitcoin transactions are safe, irrevocable, and do not contain customer sensitivity or personal information. This avoids the loss caused by fraud or fraudulent withdrawal, and there is no need to comply with PCI standards. In places where credit CARDS cannot be used or fraud rates are too high, businesses can easily expand new markets. The net result is lower costs, bigger markets, and less administrative costs.

Security and control - bitcoin users are completely in control of their transactions; Businesses cannot force fees that may or may not be found in other payment methods. Paying with bitcoin doesn't have to be tied to personal information in transactions, which provides great protection against identity theft. Bitcoin users can also protect their money by backing up and encrypting it.

Transparency and neutrality - all information about the money supply itself is stored in a block chain, and anyone can check and use it in real time. No individual or organization can control or manipulate the bitcoin protocol because it is password protected. This makes bitcoin's core believed to be completely neutral, transparent and predictable.
There are several advantages of Bitcoin.Firstly it is the easiest and fastest way to earn money for the people who are jobless and want to earn some income.Signature campaigns are an easy way to earn Bitcoins.The transactions through Bitcoin are very easy and fast.Investing in Bitcoin is a very good profitable deed as it gives huge amount of Bitcoins in a short period of time.You can store any amount of Bitcoin in your Bitcoin wallet.In today's world Bitcoin is being used as the mode of transaction too as people are accepting bitcoin.

In my opinion, bitcoin will be a bright future and now bitcoin is very popular around the world because bitcoin greatly helps the economic growth of society so that more and more users will be more and more money exchange in each bank and we wait when the bank can accept bitcoin bitcoin exchanges to banks and banks will hold some exchanges and banks will be able to use it as an investment to benefit from bitcoin but if the government has used bitcoin in each country then chances are banks will also accept bitcoin as the official currency.
I agree on your opinion that, bitcoin will be have a bright future and as now it become more popular and many potential investors are now investing in bitcoin. In addition to that, I do believe that bitcoin will become our future currency in the future and all banks will accept it and government will also allow to use it as real money.
Future cannot be predicted.If we see the popularity and demand of bitcoin in the market in today's date,we can say that bitcoin will continue to function even in the future Last year was the bitcoin year and same is expected this year too.Bitcoin is the first digital currency and it has faced a lot of ups and downs.It has gained the faith of people and this is the reason why more and more people want to enroll themselves in bitcoin and wamt to earn profits.It is best for investment purposes.
563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Coins are a great LONG-TERM investment ???? on: March 13, 2018, 06:12:25 PM
Hey folks,

what do you think, which tokens are a great investment for 5-10 years?

All people tend to speculate on short-term moves but I am more interested in tokens that will go up x times over the next couple of years...

so to say, the Amazons and Googles of the crypto world.

Which coins are REALLY GROUNDBREAKING in your eyes and why?

I mean Bitcoin started the whole thing but technically there are so much better, safer, faster, more anonymous coins that should take over in the long run.

Please share your opinions
I think the coins which are great for long term are the coins which are really popular and have alot of applications in the real world. I think RIPPLE and CIVIC are two coins in which you should surely invest as these coins have tremendous amount of potential to grow in the near future. RIPPLE is a coins based upon the idea of global value transfer and CIVIC is a coin based upon the idea of identity verification with help of Blockchain technology. You can really earn good amounts of profits if you will invest in these coins

Have you ever wondered how would the world's economy be like in the future as a cashless society?

Perhaps, with the increased traction of blockchain acceptance nowadays, could lead to the creation of digital fiat currencies powered by blockchains that are managed by governments themselves. With this in mind, there would be no need for physical cash, as digital fiat currencies would provide many advantages such as quick settlement, global payments, full transparency, implants use on citizens to make payments, and more.

If this becomes a reality, which I'm sure that it will, it would radically transform our lives for the better and reduce criminal activity as a result of the full transparency and auditability that a digital fiat currency would have thanks to the power of the blockchain technology.

Also, it makes me wonder if cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin would exist by that time, or will they co-exist with digital fiat currencies.

Nevertheless, I would like to know your opinion about this.  Wink

It's true someday we will use digital currency, i really don't know how it would work. The big deal is that people that live in poverty may suffer this big change.
I think this can happen later in the future but not now.Cryptocurrencies should to be known to every person for a cashless society.People depend on fiat currency for their day to day uses and transactions.Cryptocurrencies are not legalised in many nations.Only a few percentage of people know about the cryptocurrencies and their advantages.But their users are increasing day by day.People want change so it will not be difficult to bring a cashless society.
565  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: teach your children about bitcoin on: March 13, 2018, 04:15:04 AM
hello guys , i just want to share what am i doing right now to my children, i have a 10 year old kid , he is david . this coming summer i want to teach him about cryptocurrency. especially bitcoin, from his young age i want to share him my knowledge about this kind of things. im happy that he is excited a little bit however it's so hard to explain but then i use some examples like video games as a reference about bitcoin. probably it might be the easiet way to understand how this things works. for example bitcoin is like a video games, you need to do a lot of research about bitcoin to know it and ask some people what  they know about bitcoin or  like experiences  , like games you need to do a lot of practice to mastered the games , can someone help me about this ?
I think the idea of teaching your children about bitcoin in that young age is inappropriate let them experience the fun and  enjoyment they are too young too manipulate or hold that kind of account. They should be playing with their friends and savoring the life of childhood . I think the idea of yours is right you just want to teach your children so that they will be ready on their future but this is not the right time.

Absolutely children with that young age must enjoyed their childhood so when they get adult they can say or shared their children how wonderful childhood they had. Anyway if you see your children is interested in bitcoin you can teach them little by little but don't forced them so they won't feel pressure and the willingness should be there, soon when the right comes they will be the one who will learned it from their selves.

I would like to say that i have kids to and I love the idea of teaching them bitcoin, but maybe not as early as 10 years old. I will let them enjoy childhood as of this time with the physical activities like real sports.
Teaching ang engaging them to bitcoin and virtual life maybe soonest when they themeselves ask for it.
I do not think that we should teach children about bitcoin.Bitcoin is a very advanced and is complex too.Children do kot have that sharp mind which can handle such a complex matter.They have growing minds and it is difficult to create intetest in such a boring thing.Children should do their studies and leave bitcoin for future.They should play outdoor games and should not involve in indoor activities.Children will also not take interest from themselves because their minds are not stable.
566  Economy / Economics / Re: what benefits you've got from bitcoin in 2017 on: March 12, 2018, 06:10:37 PM
I got a lot of benefits from bitcoin in 2017 yesterday, one of the most valuable things in my life is to have a girl I love and eventually marry her, and the most fun thing that the cost of a wedding reception that I spend some of my bitcoin income , then in the year 2017 yesterday was the year of happiness in my life by having bitcoin in a pretty good amount so it can help the cost of my wedding reception.

I will learn more information from bitcoin. It helpful to for the future growth and fulfill my family dream. It good to use for the future business improvement. I hold the coin for the future growth now coin price is increase day by day. It good opportunity for the learn more information. It any time to check. So before buy and sell the coin i will check the prices day by day. So time is important for this process.
I have earned a lot of money from bitcoin in 2017.I am a student and I do not have a job.But after joining bitcoin I do mot have to even ask for my pocket money too.I even have some bitcoins.Some I have saved and the others I have invested in bitcoin only as it gives huge profit returns in a lesser period of time.Signature camapaigns have also given me some bitcoins which are very helpful.If someone has bitcoin then he or she can live their life independently.
567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN IN 10 years. on: March 12, 2018, 04:52:11 PM
I think after 10 years bitcoin stabilizes, and will exist as an additional means of payment for various services)) I'm not sure that there will be something more, since the rate of its growth is not at all stable.
Hopefully it will be stabilized soon.In my country one of the most trusted banks has started to study bitcoin and all its advantages and disadvantages and once bitcoin will pass all their set standards,they will start to accept it as a new mode of payment.Maybe after 10 years,i see bitcoin as being one of the most in demand currency not just online but also in the real world.I know it has still a big room to grow as years goes by,so apparently lot of people will be more attached on it.
I think it can compete with fiat currency in ten years time.It is being used by many people now and more and more people are joining bitcoin day by day.It is very easy to operate.You can store any amount of bitcoins in your bitcoin wallet.Bitcoin is decentralised and so taxes are also not implied so the person receives full amount of profits.I think after ten years,central bank and governments will also accept bitcoin.It can become legalised in ten years as more and more people are using it.
568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: For how long will bitcoin exist on: March 12, 2018, 03:04:07 PM
from my opinion i think bitcoin will exist for ever.if there will be no investor in bitcoin then the bitcoin will not be able to exist.but this will not happen ever that bitcoin will looses it's investors.that's why i think that bitcoin will exist forever.

Bitcoin can last forever unless a new coin overtake Bitcoin or the internet shuts down. and as long as there is still internet there will still be bitcoin. That being said it will last for you about as long as it takes you to spend it and there are so many different places to buy and store bitcoin nowadays a lot of people have no idea where to start.


No one can predict this.But seeing the currenct situation of bitcoin in the market,we can say that bitcoin can last forever.People are enrolling themselves in bitcoin day by day because they know that bitcoin can give them huge profits.It is is good opportunity for those who are jobless and want to earn money.Though it takes time but is very profitable.It is very easy to operate and just requires an internet connection.Even governments are now starting to accept bitcoin slowly in their economies.
569  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can not replace fiat on: March 12, 2018, 11:18:55 AM
Yes, got you intrigued, didn't it?

Bitcoin is a very good thing to have as an asset. Just like gold. Even better if I may say. It's secure, and unlike fiat money it actually exists and work is put into it to produce it. This makes it great to store value.
However, it cannot and will not replace current fiat money that the entire world it using. It just cannot.
Take paying a cup of coffee for example. To pay your coffee with bitcoins, one must get bitcoins first, either by mining or buying bitcoins with other kinds of money (*cough*fiat*cough). It ends up being a quite complicated process, don't you think?
Until we reach the point where paying for a cup of coffee is as easy with Bitcoin as it is with cash, we will never get mass adoption. And as far as I see it, there is no way of simplifying the acquiring of bitcoins.

For now, I believe it can't. The thing is people are not very fond of change. Therefore, it will be really difficult for most of the population of the world to not use the Fiat system that they are used to. They will feel not secure about what they have because they feel that internet is something that can be easily hacked or infiltrated.

Fiat money is what everybody uses on a typical day, and can not be replaced with a digital currency in just a few moments. This is more likely in the future, becauae technology continues to grow, we have technology higher than before and replacing fiat money with bitcoin will not be possible now, but maybe in the future. Bitcoin is not as popular as others think. Most people do not know that this currency exists, and most of them are not interested in knowing it. .
Yes this will not happen.Fiat is the intetnational currency and is used by every person on the earth.Fiat is used for every transaction worldwide and is not at all risky.The world survives on fiat curency.Fiat can be used anywhere and anytime as it does not require an internet connection unlike bitcoin.Fiat is also backed by the central banks and goverments.It also does not require any knowledge unlike bitcoin.Fiat is centralised so the goverment does everything to protect its integrity.
570  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to be international currency on: March 12, 2018, 02:30:57 AM
Yes in some part of the country bitcoint is already used.but not globally official, process still under scrutinized and debate still un ending..
The discussion which is being done globally on the bitcoin and how it is going to change the way of living and thinking is not being done as it should be because presently they are only testing the implementation of the crypto currency on a limited scale which I fear will take them to the limited problems and not all of them.

The authorities must implement the crypto currency totally on some specific spot of the world and then observe what is the behaviour and which all changes we need in the society for bitcoins.
There is still a long way to go.Though it has the potential to compete with the paper money,but this will take time.Bitcoin is used by a lot of people in the world.It requires internet connection to get operated.Internet connection is not available everywhere so it cannot be used everywhere.It also requires some basic knowledge to get operated but there are many illiterate people who do mot know how to use it.It is decentralised so it is not backed by amy central bank.
571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin an asset or a currency? on: March 11, 2018, 07:02:52 PM
Bitcoin is considered both as an asset and as a currency, due to mass adoption of bitcoins the value of bitcoins keeps on increasing and so is the demand for bitcoins which makes it more precious than any other asset as there are more potential for the prices to increase it can be considered as a good asset and if you invest now on bitcoins there are more chances for the investors to gain from the bitcoin technology due to hike in the price of bitcoins. Bitcoins are also used as a digital currency now a days many online stores are providing products and services in exchange of bitcoins, certain hotels, restaurants and even some Universities in United States have started accepted bitcoins as tuition fees.
Bitcoin is both an asset and a currency.People hold Bitcoin for the future as they expect their would be a rise in price and they will earn a lot of money from that.People use Bitcoin in the day to day transactions as it is easy to carry any amount of Bitcoins in the Bitcoin wallet.It is preferred over gold for investment purposes as it gives a lot of profit in a shorter period of time.Bitcoin is getting very famous and has established itself very well in the market.
572  Economy / Economics / Re: Is this the end for bitcoins ? on: March 11, 2018, 06:37:04 PM
Very recently I read an article , which assumed bitcoins to be exactly like the Dutch tulip mania , the Mississippi bubble and the south sea bubble.

The author of that article (which was published in the economic times ) said it's now time to move away from bitcoins , the market has ended and the sooner you forfeit the lesser will be your loss.

What do you guys think about it ?

I think that article is stupid at all because here we have no reason to say that bitcoin is at end of its value and also by technology it is more better and can't go for the end .
Because the main reason is that this is a technology which is going better and better then what was in past and next day by day its transaction fee is going down easily , we need to pay very small amount of fee ( since depend upon input and output of the transaction , so here transaction needed 0.6$ for the transaction to confirm in next block ) .
And also this technology is much better then what the banking sectors are using , so how we can assume it at the end , That writer was needed to have publicity with such types of negative news with bitcoin and he got , but here we should always be positive with bitcoin .
No it cannot be so easy.Bitcoin has established well in the market and is the number one cryptocurrency.Although it is going through a bad time and its price is low.Many people are using bitcoin as they know that they will definitely get large amounts of profit.Many people have plenty of bitcoins with them which they have held for future price rise.It also has many advantages over the paper money.Transactions are very fast through bitcoin.Taxes are also not implied on bitcoin.
573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is better than gold on: March 11, 2018, 05:27:16 PM
Gold, as long as you are buying physical bullion and have a place to store it safely, is the only asset with no counter-party risk, and has tended to keep its purchasing power throughout history. It has no yield, but makes an excellent hedge against the loss of purchasing power of cash.
 
Bitcoins are something totally unique in that they have a very strict increase in supply, and the blockchain is public. It serves as a world-currency that can easily be transfered across borders, but it has drawbacks like low transaction speed.

There is so much more to each of these assets, and I strongly suggest you read more about each and understand further what you would be buying with each one before you go about doing it. You should be able to answer your question here for yourself.
Bitcoin is obviously better than gold.Bitcoin is always preferred for investment over gold.Bitcoin is very volatile and this the advantage because if we invest in Bitcoin we can get huge amount of returns if the prices are high.But on the other hand gold is very stable and the price rise is almost nil so we cannot get that amount of profit with Bitcoin gives us.Since it is a time of digitisation cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are getting popular as they are easy to handle.People having Bitcoins hold them for future so as to earn more profits than gold.
574  Economy / Economics / Re: How do I get bitcoin? on: March 11, 2018, 07:09:23 AM
Your point is not clear to understand but if I must try to get you right you asking how you can earn bitcoin and how to use bitcoin or Chang it into faint money in other to be use at local Market, well you can earn bitcoin through so many way e.g you can decide to buy and hold for a long time and when the price grow your bitcoin earn extra profits for you and  also working and getting paid in bitcoin is another way to earn bitcoin. And their are so many bitcoin exchange site where you can convert your bitcoin into your traditional faint currency.


If you want to earn bitcoin without monetary expense then I would suggest you join signature campaign wherein you will be given tokens every after campaign as long as you follow the terms and conditions cited by the manager. If you have enough capital then you can do trading or mining whichever you think you're capable of.
There are several ways in which you can earn Bitcoins.The most effective way is by investing in Bitcoin.Investing in Bitcoin is a very profitable deed as it gives huge amount of profit returns in very less time period.Also in today's date is it is the best option for investment.Another way is by Bitcoin mining.The easiest way to earn Bitcoins is by joining signature campaigns which pay you weekly.You can also try doing translation as it gives you good amount of Bitcoins.
575  Economy / Economics / Re: how can the beggars access Bitcoin? on: March 10, 2018, 05:56:56 PM
If all paper money were change into Bitcoins, can it be access and use by everyone? how can the beggars access Bitcoin?
when the era of paper money comes to an end, bitcoin will surely have many huge development. each country or even 1 world will have the regulations of it and your question about will it can be accessed by anyone will be all clear and there is will be no doubt about bitcoin again. and anyone could accessed it from an ATM.
It is very unlikely we are going to see the end of paper money, the wealth difference around the world is enormous and I do not see it going down in the short term in fact the opposite is happening the gap is widening besides if bitcoin was adopted as widely as you suggest we will not need ATMs we could use it bitcoin directly with our phones or hardware wallets.
Beggars don't need this to start their life, they need such knowledge that they can use in every battle so we need to teach them the basic things first if we really want to help them, help them stand first then to walk then how to start life beyond the road.
To get access to Bitcoin you need to have an Internet connection and a mobile phone or a laptop
It is a bit difficult for the beggars to get access to Bitcoin as they need to have a phone at least to operate Bitcoin
The beggars are illiterate and do noy know how to use a smartphone.Bitcoin is a bit complex and it does require knowledge about the market place.Bitcoin is a very advanced thing and requires a lot of hardwork and time.
576  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: March 10, 2018, 05:22:03 PM
Andrew Haldane said one solution would be for the Bank of England to issue a state-backed digital currency based on bitcoin. Supporting this initiative would be a negative interest rate levied on paper currency relative to the digital currency, with these measures do you think there is more possibilities that sometime:

Paper money will be banned entirely?
How long do you think that happens?
would it work?
What security and privacy risks would it raise?
And how would public and privately issued monies interact?

my paper money will still exist even though crypto is used by everyone in the world because paper money is needed to do macro transactions which is certainly difficult to be done by digital currency
The future of paper money is fully safe and secured as the paper money is being used by all the people of the world.Since it is centralised,the central bank and the government protects its integrity and power.Paper money is accepted internationally and all the transactions are done through the paper money.Paper money has established itself from the traditional time period and it cannot be overtaken by any cryptocurrency or altcoin or any other technology. Paper money of Fiat currency is very safe to use and is not at all risky unlike cryptocurrencies.It also does not require any internet connection and can be used anywhere and anytime.

The team of the project also appears very strong and promising.
The project has potential simply because you are helping the consumer find the best deal at the best price which is very unique.

So I'm slowly going into crypto and I want to know if any of you trade altcoins daily, or you prefer to hold it for long term? What do you think it's better and why?

Thanks
I prefer buying and holding your coins for the long term rather than day trading. Crypto market is very volatile and unstable which makes day trading as risky as gambling. Either you are gonna make profit or you will loose your hard earned money. Long term holding on the other hand, is less risky as your investment has all the time it needs to mature in the long term. You will be able to make maximum profits if you choose HODL strategy.

So Bitcoin is better than Gold? Roll Eyes
I think both Bitcoin and gold have their own advantages and disadvantages. Bitcoin is one of the world's fastest growing investments and has huge upside potential but it is very unstable and volatile. Gold on the other hand, is the world's most popular and most stable investment. Everyone wants to invest in gold but ten rate of growth of gold is very less. For better returns and less risk, diversify your investment between Bitcoin and gold as your portfolio will be stable as well as will have a higher rate of growth.
