Day trading right now could benefit everyone massively. Looks like the price is going to continue to take a hike until the hard fork.

It's frustrating as it causes further instability to a already unstable currency and it's the developers which are causing this through being selfish.

The cons of cash have outweighed the pros. cash can be printed and fabricated further reducing its value. Cash is not public knowledge and therefore shady business can go on.
64  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin overcome Paypal? on: October 12, 2017, 04:30:42 PM
Bitcoin is different to Paypal. Paypal deals with currencies whilst bitcoin is a currency. I think paypal could implement bitcoin into their service once the price settles down.
65  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Are Now Used in Crimes on: October 12, 2017, 04:24:26 PM
Bitcoins has regained its strong value, As of this posting, the value per 1 bitcoin is exactly 4786.59 US Dollar.   Soon we will see more ways people can squeeze the most out of bitcoins.   Since the advent of the internet to be profit oriented in the 90's, no one would possibly have imagined that the Internet would breed Facebook, Google, Uber, online streaming, etc. This is where we are with the Blockchain now. There exists a whole world of opportunities out there.  

These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage. We cannot deny for a fact that cyber crimes have been committed since the birth of the internet.  Once, stealing was done with having guns, now, robbers can easily hack bank accounts or counterfeit credit cards to their advantage.  Sooner, cryptocurrencies can be used to pay crimes such as services for creating counterfeit birth certificates and this is not far from happening.  Actually, the US has already cases on this matter.

Another is the crime of buying illegal-drug emporium that used Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, politicians and policymakers took notice. Criminals, it turns out, really like bitcoins, which can be exchanged for nefarious purposes on the "Dark Web," with complete anonymity and, it seems, impunity.

Although, there are some articles that i have read regarding criminals cannot hide behind bitcoins, still, there are difficulties tracing transactions using cryptocurrencies. That is why law enforcement agencies should have a to change their procedures to pursue criminals who make use of the latest technology to commit crimes. Let the law find a way to evolve to address new tech challenges. There is no reason to expect that law enforcement won’t be able to get a handle on this new cybercrime.
Bitcoin is created to be used as well as possible. only people who can not use it well are using bitcoin for crime. I also do not want to lie to myself that bitcoin can be used for negative things. but when we think positive then we will be able to use bitcoin properly. there must be strong self-control to avoid the worst.

The same goes for FIAT. Crime will happen no matter what currency but bitcoin is slightly more used in crime due to it being harder to track....but is trackable.

Guys for anyone asking this question people thought that it was too late when bitcoin was 200, 400,800 and 1.5k and now today its hit 5k....so its never too late.

can't really predict it's going to be very unstable once it does happen. I would advise you to only take the risk if you can afford it as it may well not pay off but could also pay off big.

Trading in egypt should be the same as any other countries as long as you abide by the tax laws etc then you should be fine
69  Other / Off-topic / Re: What wallets do you use? on: October 12, 2017, 04:16:22 PM
I swear by Bitcoin core, electrum and Trezor. After doing my research I have ordered a trezor and will be setting it up when it arrives sounds perfect for me and more secure.
70  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin won't live to see the next 10 years on: October 12, 2017, 04:15:23 PM
I love it when people make these sort of predictions. If it becomes true they become famous from it and hailed as some sort of magic user but if it fails to become true people forget about it and the user doesn't have any negative effects from it.

You might be right but I think bitcoin will be at its height of its career in 10 years time
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So Bitcoin is better than Gold? on: October 12, 2017, 04:12:59 PM
Bitcoin has the best conversion rate to a single unit of currency in anything. Including gold. Yet some people still don't give it credit when its due.
72  Economy / Speculation / Re: what you think about bitcoin in like 5 years? on: October 12, 2017, 04:11:51 PM
Bitcoin will be accepted by most major companies in 5 years I think and we'll be seeing more local non online stores accepting it. I wouldn't like to predict a price as if this happened im not sure how the market would shoot up too
73  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-10-11] 39-Year Old Father-of-3 Sells Everything for Bitcoin, Waits for ... on: October 12, 2017, 04:10:28 PM
So their home is almost half a million dollars, This guy must be rich because he is not scared of what will happen to his money and a true risk taker indeed, he may regret his decisions earlier when investing in Bitcoin but he know to himself that it is not too late to start investing again to Bitcoin even though the price of it is $5,200 a piece now.

He just keep on believing even though he misses the times 10 of his Bitcoins back then and he is okay with the times 4 prediction by the year of 2020, me also believe that Bitcoin will soar high by 2020 and it is all about the matter of trust and prayers.

Really this just raises questions on how hes become rich.....maybe hes taken these risks before and got lucky and just continues to temp fate. it's stupid and really isnt a good business investment to put all your eggs in one basket
74  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC passes $5,000 USD milestone on: October 12, 2017, 04:09:12 PM
Next milestone 10,000 which I think will be sooner than some people think.....maybe with in a year?
75  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it too late to buy bitcoin? on: October 12, 2017, 04:08:08 PM
It's never too late to keep on investing the people investing buying and selling the more bitcoin will be worth simple supply and demand
76  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? on: October 11, 2017, 07:13:39 PM
I bought a Bitcoin sticker a few years ago which I stuck on my car. Hopefully that has helped spread the word a little bit.
77  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bill Gates Praised the Bitcoins on: October 11, 2017, 07:02:41 PM
Bitcoin has been praised by some names and it's all good. But we need them to implement the technology otherwise words get forgotten in a few months.
78  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin get back to it's first time value? on: October 11, 2017, 06:53:57 PM
Very much doubt it. I don't we'll see those low levels now people have seen it at this high. Bitcoin has had more publicity that ever since it's hit these highs
79  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: October 11, 2017, 06:36:12 PM
but I believe that bitcoin will never be replaced by other coins in cryptococcus, since bitcoin is the pioneer of the birth of digital currency, and so far the popularity of bitcoin is high enough and the public interest to do its business on bitcoin in an effort to profit from bitcoin.

Everything dies. Bitcoin will eventually become exclusive once all the bitcoins have been mined and everything in the world gets replaced by a newer model its very likely there will be a better and more improved version in the future.
80  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if bitcoin will be made as the official cryptocurrency? on: October 11, 2017, 06:22:33 PM
Bitcoin has been official for a long time, as it participates in various official transactions. He does not particularly need official recognition of it as a separate state and can not depend on them. This is an international digital currency. If the crypto currency for any reason loses its independence and will be dependent on some state or group of individuals, it will not be a real crypto currency.

I'm not sure how you have come to that conclusion. It's not official at all and is currently still struggling to establish itself in everyday life.
