Hey all,i'm just curious.

Why we not made own bitcoin like on real world make 'fake money'?

If we make bitcoin like we make real money thats possible or not?

Bitcoin technology is online decentralized technology which cannot be duplicated as each and every transaction have its own details, but in real world money it is paper printed and it can be made fake as you just have to get that plates to print the paper money. That is why Bitcoin is very secure and safety.

Yes making bitcoin a real physical money will lose its functionality so making it a physical money will be useless because it will also pose its convenience for the users.

If the business is sending money to other country.
Than I think is good to tell them that Bitcoin is a solution because is faster and cheaper.


I think this is not a solution. Because BTC wallets can send Bitcoin directly to other BTC wallets so I dont know why money senders needs BTC for there businesses? In fact BTC's convenience can weaken their sales

This is not a good idea at all. you can convince the sender to use bitcoin, but what if the receiver don't have the features of bitcoin? and only sending and receiving is not enough for local business, they send in fiat because fiat can be use easily in locally also. and bitcoin can't be used easily. if you accept bitcoin you again need to exchange them into fiat to use them and spend them.

Well the receiver can always have the solution to create a btc wallet its free and easy and you will instantly get an btc address . Also Exhanging it to Fiat is also not a problems. As many of the btc walket has a option to diractly move btc into your bank account automatically converting it to fiat.

To be honest i do not think that it is really a good idea to try and teach kids about Bitcoin because they need to focus on other things.
Let them focus and school and sports and stuff.
i am also not agree with this, i think children kids should not learn about bitcoin, children should give concentration to their study, because once they become addict of earning money then they will not give attention to their study, and that will really effect their future, therefore i am not in the favour of kids education about bitcoin.

Agreed and I think this is not the right time for them to get into bitcoins, as they might find it complicated and would not be interested in knowing about bitcoin.
Well my part of me says yes and another part of me says no. As bitcoin is like a subject of investing to me. Maybe starting the kids early about a lesson in saving genrally can help them walk there way through the possibility of learning bitcoin. As investing there are many ways

E.g.
Stocks
Land
Forex
Amd many more BTC is one of them.
6144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: August 11, 2016, 04:53:07 PM
Wrong, the very concept of this thread is wrong. IF you consider "gambling" a sickness, then you can consider a verb like "drinking" a sickness just because alcoholism exist. As you see, this is nonsense. Some people can gamble without getting addicted.

Sickness and Addiction can't go together in the same sentence. Think of it this way sickness is for medicine as addiction is to rehab. Like drug addicts you can't cure drug addicts woth another drug too. Sickness id another category for it.

Addicted in gambling do not require rehabilitation as a drug addict, they just need a support from her family and also foster their confidence in getting the money is better. addicted in gambling can be cured if the addict does have a desire to get out of gambling
You don't know what you are talking about do you. Try searching the meaning of rehabilitation and you will found out its not always related to a rehab center. It focuses on restoring oneself into its original state. People who can seek help from their family won't need to go or ask help from a rehab center.

who that will get mvp summer forecast 2016/2017
1. lebron james
2. russell westbrook
3. kevin durant
4. kawhi leonard
5. stephen curry
my guess, lebron james will be get mvp title 2016/17 and you guys.

I have a dark-horse for you maybe it will be Karl-Anthony Towns. KAT is a potential 2nd year All star player with the young wolves on the roll He can lead the team into playoffs. I know he is still raw, but raw means he has still a lot of room to improve his games. His rookie numbers by the way is better than some veterans already. Even Garnett's rookie season couldn't match it.

Are you saying making BTC into a real physical money or a gold coin or something? Then it will lose its functionality. You won't be able to transact online and it won't be any convenient to anybody as it is a physical coin. There won't be any satoshis available for us only 1 BTC as the lowest money. Also The govt won't allow it to be circulated. 
6147  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Online Shop that accepts BTC on: August 11, 2016, 04:53:45 AM
there are a lot of online shops available now which accept bitcoin as payment. and these can be easily found on the google search.
but if you don't satified with them you can use purs.io which is associated with bitcoin and amazon, you can shop every amazon product through purs.io and pay through bitcoin.

Having trouble finding purs.io everytime time I go into their site it says it is an available domain. However I found purse.io. Probably looks better than openbazaar and they have a promo on having a 2-day free shipping. Thank you for the sharing a right site for me.

It depends on the demand and supply if you are talking about the price. BTC mining is also a factor to be considered as they are the ones who are pumping new BTC in our world. So if another halving will be done expect BTC's price to go higher as BTC will be scarcer and harder to be mined. Simple supply and demand.
6149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: August 10, 2016, 10:31:54 PM
worst mistake in gambling for everybody (i have made this mistake in my life) is that you bet more than you can afford to lose. you should never get greedy in gambling and always try to stay on top of your bets and make the wise choices so that you make the best out of the strategy that you are using in gambling.
the worst mistake people do while gambling is that they were so greedy, the greedy sense dont allow people to make wise decision, control your mind and stop it when you have to stop and obtain the profits.

Its for me too! Chase the loss and more greed to get more. It is the greedy ones the casino wants. The worst fpr me is to put too much in and make a bet too high. Like on slots so I stay with dice maybe. We must learn not to be greedy and to control spending.
chasing your losses is probably the worst thing you can do when gambling your money, in my opinion it would be way better to just not gamble at all, i have never had such problems

I think its easy for you to say. Would you expect a man stopping instantly in gambling who experienced both winning and losing? And now having a loss wants you to take back tour money by winning it.

6151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 10, 2016, 02:45:00 AM
That is what we call rage, if rage comes to you for sure you are not going to control your emotion and the proper way of being to your gambling.
And it just tends to lose the money you are holding. I learned from my experience and it just tends that it wrecked my life. So, it is really going to wreck your life if you don't know how to manage your emotion.
More you lose , you'll being rage and you couldn't control your emotion after that you'll deposit more in gambling sites to recover your losses.
That's true , if you can't control your emotion you just making gambling wreck your life , better to prepare yourself before playing gambling.
Like prepare your mental or adjust your emotion so you can enjoying your activity.
Therefore gambling is not for the people who does not know how to manage themselves, gambling is for fun and you can enjoy that longer as  long as you will continue to focus on the entertainment alone. Some people said it has wreck their lives because they go beyond the limit.

In the first place all people have different personalities, and they don't think a like at most. Some use gambling for leisure some use gambling as their work. We can't only have one type of gambler. As it can't be blamed wrecking their life as its the only thing they can do.
6152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 10, 2016, 02:25:48 AM
always separate the money for gambling after that you just have to control yourself so you wont spend more if you lose all the gambling money.

It is a good way separating your money from gambling and other expenses. But it does not avoid the chance of losing all the money you set aside. So it's not a guaranteed safe method for gambling but it is a method where you have control with your money. Or if you really have control at it if you know what I mean.
6153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People hate Bitcoins? on: August 09, 2016, 04:37:14 PM
Maybe they got scammed or lost their btc on gambling, who knows..., or they even dont know how btc works..

Well they won't hate it in the first place if they know where to use btc. Btc is also money you use it to pay something. It's up to you where you will spend that money. But in majority I don't know anyone who hates bitcoin because they got scammed, they hate the people/site who scammed them not their money.
6154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 09, 2016, 05:00:24 AM
hi mate. to stay away from gambling means being aware that you're into gambling. and you realized that. and it's a good start. just put the realization into action. thus, first one needs to realize what he/she wants... a check for you. then "act" what you realize. lastly, repeat the first step.

Maybe  he is referring to how is will he stay away even though he is addicted to it. It is hard even if you are aware you are addicted to it you can't stop because you are always playing it. Even its in your subconscious level.
6155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Ethereum on: August 08, 2016, 12:55:04 AM
if you are talking about value, eth will never worth more than bitcoin... never.
simple because eth is unlimited. you need to understand what eth is first.

traders don't care about theoretical limits. the price is set by what's for sale or not on the day and how greedy everyone's feeling. it could easily bypass bitcoin only because of that. you're being too idealistic.
Actually it could surpass BTC in price with its utility.

It is quite difficult for the market cap of ETH to be higher than the bitcoin. Bitcoin will be more widely used as a currency.

However people are looking for an alternative currency because there is always another room for acurrency. Look at what stocks have they handle multiple companies not only 1.
6156  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Online Shop that accepts BTC on: August 08, 2016, 12:46:43 AM
buy an amazon gift card from places like gyft and the world is your oyster. it does depend on what country you're in. there'll be different gift card services for different countries. there's no point in paying more to some place only because they accept bitcoin directly.

Yes amazon is hard because I live in the Philippines. However the openbazaar.org I have mentioned has no fees or anything that involve in the transaction with another person. It is person to person exhange.
6157  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Online Shop that accepts BTC on: August 07, 2016, 12:30:46 PM
I also know a website openbazaar.org  I don't know how it works but it only accepts btc as a payment method. They call it as an free peer-to-peer market place. It looks cool as it have a downloadable software where you can browse what they are selling. Hope it helps for people also looking i just stumble at it online.
6158  Economy / Economics / Re: How can you earn 5% interest daily on your bitcoins? on: August 07, 2016, 02:41:50 AM
5% a day... Banks offer less than that in a year!

5% a day = 35% a week.

If there was such a method that were actually legal, we'd all be rich. There are people still living in the street, so no.

Yeah that is 140% per month with that kind of return we will all be rich. Are we all rich? No because all if not most of that kind of return are scams. Trading is your only option mate for what you are looking for.
6159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling made for kids???? on: August 06, 2016, 05:09:08 PM
Gambling is NOT MADE for kids!!
kids in their early age can be more addicted than adult because their enjoyment in playing is more high than us.

No they are not. Kids in this generation are mostly concentrated with their phones or if they are raise right play with toys and playing with other kids in the neighborhood. They won't be addicted but they can be influence.

Nonsense. Kids can get addicted to gambling just like adults can, the mechanisms work the same way in adults as kids so it could happen. Also it's sad that a lot of gambling sites(mostly the CSGO sites that were all shut down recently) are targeted at kids, really unethical and downright illegal in most cases.

Really now. I can never imagine that kids, the oldest which is twelve years old can be addicted to gambling. Kids during those years are busy about other thing besides gambling. I can't see twelve years old betting money in my life. Maybe for High School students it can be but they are teenagers . Besides kids don't need to gamble as they don't need money that much.
