It cannot be denied that Chinese authorities dislike BTC and do not want it to get out of hand in their country. This is also true in many Western societies, politicians control the source of "money", it is their source of power and they know this. They will protect it at all cost if there is a great enough threat.

There are lots of alt coins out there atm that could fill your needs. This is true is almost every aspect of society, and is what it is. I don't believe it to be an evil thing.

Of course not. There are many great Muslims out there, the problem is those who practice Sharia law. Look it up, its shameful and disgusting.
|

|
The funny thing is, it doesn't include the top 6 most populated Muslim nations, yet is being branded as a "Muslim" ban. Also, it is Obama's list, not Trumps. This is just more hyped up hysteria from the dying MSM.

Yet the West is expected to blindly take mass quantities of un-vetted refugees into its borders. Its the definition of insanity.

Why not? There isn't much risk in doing so. Hedge your bets I always say.

I personally believe it is not and new, better innovations are yet to come.

They are hoping to "get rich quick", pump and dump.

The age old question on the Bitcoin talk forums. The answer as many have already stated, is obvious. Both. Yet I would add one more to the basket, silver.

Paper money is destined for the same place that it always ends up. The dustbin of history. There has never been a fiat currency that has stood the test of time, whereas gold and silver have.

This is the story that never dies! How many Satoshi are there? Am I Satoshi, are you Satoshi, who knows these days.

Sell services and goods that people want / need. This has always been my favorite method. Unless your willing to go really big, then mining is a hard venture to get into these days. Its not like how it was in the early days.

I honestly believe Bitcoin is already there as being generally accepted by MANY online merchants. There is still a long way to go and yes, I also believe their is a lot of growth still for many high quality altcoins.

You need a realistic short term and long term goals. Wake up and envision yourself already completing that goal. Believe it or not, this is incredibly powerful in eventually fulfilling whatever you desire in your life, not just in your business. "Think and grow rich".

Doesn't look like its dead yet, this old cat just keeps on ticking.

Specifically and only bitcoin related businesses are more rare than in the early days. BUT there are countless people representing businesses that accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. Which is a great thing.

It's so hard to get gun in other developed countries. People even afraid to carry gun in there. But why government of US makes it easy to buy,carry or sell guns? Is it good for the nation or people living there? They mayn't get freedom while walking in dreary places. Isn't it? I even scared of word gun. A gun itself is not evil, just as a knife is not evil. The user can be evil, but not the inanimate object. I would rather good honest people have guns. Studies prove, in places where the ownership of guns are highest, crimes are lowest.

It will be a mess. Bitcoin will be the answer as long as the UN doesn't lock down the Internet. We all need to learn how to trade bitcoins, directly, through our handhelds, without the Internet being needed. What are the apps that allow us to do this? Bitcoiners will become rich, as more and more of the people who haven't even heard of Bitcoin now, will flock to bitcoiners after the crash, to have their transactions made. The elite class that currently runs the show will do everything they can to ensure that Bitcoin doesn't become a predominate choice by the masses in a crisis. Fortunately, they are losing their grip as we are seeing all over the world. I still believe that a diversification of physical gold and silver, plus bitcoins is prudent in these uncertain times.

I have to agree. So many naysayers and the man isn't in office yet. Lets wait and see what happens.
And then what to do? When he comes into the oval office it will be too late to think. We now need to develop a plan to counter this clown. I hope that in Congress, not all are crazy as he He was elected and will be confirmed in 4 days. Stop reading the mainstream media and do your own research. You will live. We will live. And yes, there are checks and balances in the country -- the executive branch really doesn't have much power. Signed, Political Science Major Every election, you hear the same stories. It is the end of the world, the sky is falling! There are systems in place as you mentioned.

Bitcoin already is used for a lot of good, and just like cash, it can of course be used for bad things. This in itself, doesn't make bitcoin bad, but the user.
