61  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if a person died with BTC!! on: April 25, 2018, 12:07:02 PM
What will happen??

No one will have the BTC address. Hence will them isolated?

In FIAT, people can handover money to someone.. So, i predict BTC will be disappeared gradually.
Well, nice question. I personally think that their bitcoins will be put in vain. If no one has access to it except you, then no one can after you die since the system does not know if you are dead or not. The best way I can think to prevent is to have a trusted friend who also uses bitcoin, or any of your family members. Let them know about bitcoin and let them earn in their own way so that they do not have to open yours then if you died,all of your wealth will be transferred to your family.

Can bitcoin really do anything to solve world poverty problem? Brian Singer certainly think so. He thinks that Bitcoin can bring minimum everyday earning for people more swiftly than any other economy system.

Is it possible?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2015/04/02/how-bitcoin-will-end-world-poverty/
It can probably help to fight poverty but it is so impossible to eradicate poverty all over the world. For me,there is no solution to poverty, it will stay until the end of time. What we can do now is to fight poverty, this will not guarantee that we will be free from poverty, this will just help people to live more comfortable than before.
63  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy a book about bitcoins on: April 25, 2018, 01:57:49 AM
I want to buy a book about bitcoins ,I know here is allot information on this forum and also on social  media but I want  to buy one on the Internet please any suggestions.
I highly suggest you to read Andreas Antonopoulos's The Internet of Money, it is somehow entertaining to read and it helped me since I am a bit new to bitcoin. This book was just suggested to me by a friend and I immediately look it up at the book store. The author is reliable since he wrote another book about crypto and it became the best seller in amazon.
64  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where to learn how to trade on: April 24, 2018, 03:29:55 PM
I know this may seem like something that is easy to find with google but I am having a difficult time finding a good forum or website where trading strategy is the primary goal and I can improve my skills. I used to play online poker and stopped after Black Friday.

My question is are there any websites that are like the 2+2 forums, card runners or deucescracked etc.? Where have you gone to learn about daytrading cryptocurrencies?

I got into this a little over a month and half ago and while I am up because of just a lucky decision or two I am quickly going to lose my ass if I don't figure out some sort of effective strategy.

In short, I suck at this and really need some help.

Thanks

Edit: Before someone replies I just want to throw this out there, I'm pretty sure this is a good website to learn about coins and what not and I come here everyday but I have a very hard time sorting through the bullshit. Obviously this place might be a great place but I might be in the wrong sections.
I have learned trading by myself through reading. I am not a crypto trader though, just wanted to start trading stocks. I have learned so much from reading books and I seldom browse the internet. If you want to learn how to trade in general, you can go to the nearest bookstore and look for books about trading. I once saw book about crypto but not about trading, so maybe there are books about crypto trading. Hope this helps.
65  Economy / Economics / Re: Study says being rich is determined by chance rather than intelligence or talent on: April 24, 2018, 03:09:28 PM
I know about your point, chances are not always come in our life, and the chances are  now born which the key to everybody become rich, it is the cryptocurrencies business, which is the sharp tools use to all people become rich. We know already that there is a lot of people becomes a rich because of bitcoin business by starting in a small capital invested. But it is not quick and easy to become rich by way crypto business, we must also adopt the total nature and the flow of crypto businesses.
I know chance does not come to all people but when there is chance, do your best to grab it. In order to become rich, it is better if you have that talent and intelligence.Not all who are intelligent gets rich because they do not have the opportunity. Some people I know that got rich through bounty campaigns are because of luck, they do not study that much in crypto, but they work hard for it.
66  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin still exist in your country? on: April 24, 2018, 02:21:33 PM
I wonder,that the other country didnt accept bitcoin.
Yes it still exist in our country. Great,our government do not have bias looking on bitcoin and even our media. Although they feature news about illegal activities done through bitcoin, they do not forget to tell that bitcoin is legit and bitcoin is not the one who does those illegal activities but the people who are using them. So even if there are negative news, they still prove that bitcoin is legitimate through other people's experience.
67  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading without knowledge on: April 18, 2018, 03:01:48 PM
A lot of people do trading even if they don't know nothing about it and some people succeed on that but most of them failed.
One of the reason why I think they do that, is because of GREED which can result to a big loss for them.

Start with education, make a lot of research, do some practice trading online
and use it later on in real life. Don't rush to earn money because in trading its hard to do so.

Are you a trader in mind but scared inside?
Be more patient, develop your emotion and win in this market.
Trading without having proper knowledge in what yoy are doing is too dangerous. Trading is not easy even if you are experienced. Some still fail at trading even though they are doing this for a long time. Knowledge is important in any field that you are taking. In trading, it requires a lot of time to learn, focus on reading and acquiring knowledge. It will be hard if you have no idea on trading in general. It could be a great help if you are an actual trader.If you want to earn huge amount through trading, strive to get as much knowledge and apply these once you do trading.Experience is also important not just knowledge so there will be times that you fail but keep on trading. Start in just a small amount and once you get used to it, you can trade higher amounts.
68  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there any good news about Bitcoin from your country? on: April 18, 2018, 02:35:11 PM
I want to know them both
Don't know about the number of users, but the government seems to have some interest in crypto.
There are several draft bills. Not about severe regulation, but for legalization. Still, it is to soon to talk about completing the process.
By the way, I live in Ukraine.

in my country,the government also has some interest in cryptocurrency. by the way what kind of APP or website do you use to check ticker and get information?

Actually I have not heard good news about bitcoin in our country. Bitcoin is not frequent on the news but when it is in the news, it is always negative. One day I have watched the news and there are these two people who used bitcoin to scam. They have gathered huge amount od money from many people who they have scammed,the good thing is they got arrested but the damage has been done. It affected bitcoin's reputation negatively and it will be hard to gain it back.
69  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people scam on: April 18, 2018, 02:13:59 PM
Getting a job is not possible for everyone, not everyone has family or [friends] to help them and sometimes they will make the bad situations even worse them. If you've ever really needed money and were very desperate, than you probably know that people would let you starve to death rather than give you $5.

It's weird how people won't toss out just a few dollars to help someone in need, yet they'll spend $10000 or more on their pet that has an average life span of under 5 years.

But then again, if you give the person in need money, they'll keep coming back for it. It's a real crap shoot

I think the topic is a little bit misleading, or your message is not in the right place. Anyway, bitcoin's reputation is negatively affected because of scammers, some suggests that it should be banned but for me bitcoin has no responsibility to this. People do scams and people should be responsible of their actions. Some people do scams because it is an easy way to earn huge amount of money without putting a hard work to it. Well, we all want easy money but scammers do it in an inhumane way. Scammers are having too much greed that they didnt consider thinking what will happen to those they have scammed.
70  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what are your main sources of Bitocin/Crypto news? on: April 18, 2018, 02:03:20 PM
what are your main sources of Bitocin/Crypto news?
or wich would you recommend?

youtube, twitter, http, rss, etc

edit: plz specify links. might help me and others, specially newcomers Smiley thanks in advance
My most used website is coindesk.com, I suggest this website because I learned many new things here and it keeps me updated on recent happenings in cryptocurrency world. There are interesting news that you might want to read. Next to coindesk is probably this forum, bitcointalk and lastly is reddit,I use bitcointalk more than reddit though.
71  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where I can learn Bitcoin Trading? on: April 18, 2018, 01:47:19 PM
Hello, everyone.
I am new here. I want to make money from Bitcoin Trading. So First, I want to learn Bitcoin Trading. Please advise me or recommend me some resource where I can learn Bitcoin Trading.

Advanced Many Many Thanks to You All....   Cool
Always remember the saying "Buy low,sell high". This is the most basic thing that you need to know and you can apply it when trading. If you want a source, you can watch videos on youtube, I am currently learning how to trade so I cannot give as much information to you.I recommend watching on youtube since I have learned many things to them.
72  Economy / Economics / Re: How to teach kids about Bitcoin? on: April 18, 2018, 08:28:33 AM
well kids like to play, so something that can bring together bitcoin and gaming

like puzzle that when solved reveal a private key for example

it is important that kids start to learn early some basic economy, at least something about income and expenditure

i heard about a new law for some countries that will make it possible(to teach them basic economy) in schools


Kids tend to learn better when taught in a young age. The problem that I am seeing is they have poor attention span and they get easily bored when lectured. Kids love to have fun and yes,learning comes in many ways so he can learn while having fun just like playing. We cannot expect them to be good at it but if you have patience in teaching, you can expect them to be good at it eventually.
73  Economy / Economics / Re: Will bitcoin be banned on Philippines? on: April 17, 2018, 01:56:05 PM
Over 900 Million  pesos worth of bitcoins been scammed.

Filipino couple amasses at least P900M in alleged Bitcoin scam.
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Police have nabbed a couple promising easy wealth through popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa announced on Tuesday, April 10.
Arnel and Leonady Ordonio were nabbed by PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) operatives – the police division in charge of high-stakes and high-profile crimes – in Vigan City last April 4 through an entrapment operation.

The scam, Obusan said, is structured like a pyramid scheme but with electronic money.

The Ordonios apparently had middlemen who lured people to invest. They promised to pay victims with their earnings every 15 days.

Fueled by the worldwide Bitcoin hype, more and more people were baited by the Ordonio couple's promises.

The complaints started piling in when investors lost contact with the Ordonios.
Whats happened  next?
Around 50 angry victims stormed to Camp Crame on Tuesday, asking the couple if they could still get back the money they had hoped would grow.

Will bitcoin be banned because of that?
I think it is not bitcoin's fault so there is no reason to ban it here in the Philippines. First of all, it is the human that is doing the scams not the bitcoin itself so bitcoin has no responsibility of such acts. I think our government knows what bitcoin really is and they even warned us about the harm of it. Bitcoin is just a currency so no reason to ban it, it is like you are saying that we should ban dollars because it is used in scams.Remember it is the people that use bitcoin irresponsibly so bitcoin should not be blamed for such actions.

75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best altcoin suggest on: November 19, 2017, 03:06:45 PM
I have some BTC, I want buy some altcoin for hold.
suggest some coins.....
It would be great help for me. Thank You again.
in my opinion,steem is good. I suggest that you give it a try. Steem lets you earn steem dollars by writing.you write a blog and you will be paid, even though you do not have that much knowledge about most cryptocurrencies.It is also valuable, you get paid for writing unlike other sites, for example the ads on social media sites, you pay them for ads on your blogs. steem is good but it is undervalued,its price is around 1 us dollars only and has a peak of 4 us dollars.
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Dogecoin have a future? on: November 19, 2017, 02:38:17 PM
Dogecoin has been my favorite alt coin for quite a long time. It serves as a good cryptocurrency for tipping others, as well as being a fun and inexpensive medium of exchange.

However, I'm worried what might happen to Dogecoin in the future, since it has been quite some time that no new version of the QT wallet has been mentioned, neither some innovation to keep it going for the long term.

It would become ideal for Dogecoin to add SegWit to its code, and gain traction if it gains acceptance from the miners. Then, if it manages to become the first cryptocurrency to accept the scalable solution, it could rise in popularity once more (not to mention that transaction will be near instantaneous).

Nevertheless, Dogecoin is a great cryptocurrency being inexpensive and relatively stable, making it a great way to tip others or send micropayments faster than BTC at a fraction of the cost.

Looking forward to your opinion. Wink
I also like dogecoin.I thought at first that it is just a joke in the world of cryptocurrency. I can not leave a statement because its hard to predict if it will have a future. There are actually better coins than dogecoin which is more promising so investing in those will be better than investing in dogecoin.One good thing about dogecoin is it has a great start,hope it will continue and I'm looking forward to it.
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin future on: November 19, 2017, 09:57:42 AM
6 month holding life running with altcoin. I don't get any profit from altcoin. my question is really have any future for altcoin? I just tired with altcoin.please drop your suggestion.
thankss😭
I agree it is hard to rely profits from altcoins. Because you want to gain profit from altcoins, choosing the right altcoin is a must.Not all altcoins have the possibility to grow in the near future, some are shitcoins as called by many. 6 months is a huge time wasted for me, by that time you must have done and gained more.Get some that you think has the potential.
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to participate in ICO's? on: November 18, 2017, 01:03:47 PM
Right now there are many ICOs coming out, is it really safe to participate in any of it and spend that much? In participating ICOs I have high hopes that these coins could be the next Bitcoin or other currencies that are really going up in the market.
you does not actually join in ico, you gamble there because you are not sure what is the outcome.You are taking the risk between losing and gaining because you may be scammed or get something in return. Most icos that are coming out is scam, not all but most of them so you should be careful when participating an ico, do your own research to know if it is worthy to be trusted.
79  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What encourages you to invest in any altcoin? on: November 18, 2017, 10:07:29 AM
I am a crypto enthusiastic and i know a 90% of people here on bitcointalk are as well.
There are a lot of altcoins in the market today. What should one look out for before investing in any altcoin
what makes me interested in investing is because altcoin's price is not that huge yet. So it is still a gamble play because we would not know what will be the trend of a certain altcoin. I like investing in monero because I think the team behind it is focused into their goal not just for getting rich. I am looking forward for this alt. Also I want to buy some good altcoin until it's cheap and I'll sell it once its price rises.
80  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you buying altcoins on: November 16, 2017, 06:38:41 AM
With BTC in such a strong uptrend atm, are you buying altcoins right now? A lot of them are kind of 'cheap' and have been falling while BTC have been increasing.
At this moment I do not buy altcoins yet but I have a plan to buy some. buying altcoin is actually not a bad idea, there are alts that have potential to rise although most of alts are falling.It is a good idea to buy it until its price is cheap. I am planning to get altcoins like ethereum and others like lite and I hope it will rise.
