6621  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about blockchain powered cars? on: March 03, 2017, 08:47:11 AM
Recently, I've saw a video that showcased a car that had a built-in wallet, powered by the blockchain. If successful enough, then it could become a revolutionary way to enable autonomous cars that would refuel themselves and drive to any point with the use of the blockchain.

Users would only need to pay a fee in a specific token, to be able to ride the car, all in a self-autonomous way.

What do you think about this? Will this make a huge impact in the future?  Roll Eyes


Yes it would make a huge impact in the future but, right now, there are so many questions that the Government, or others will ask about this idea, like How can we earn bitcoin to put in the built-in wallet that you are saying as a fuel and so on. So, before this idea to be implemented or to success, it have to face first the government, because if this thing will trend and most of the people buy this car, then the other Car's Company will going to argue about this thing, and then, the next thing that is going to happen is that, the Government will solve this issue by getting this car face-out, which is the worst scenario that could happen, well, it is just my opinion though.

So what should one do when the price is at a peak or so high as it is at the moment, $1250+ right now. Is it time to cash in?
It is quite obvious that this is not the right time to buy bitcoin so what should be the plan of action at these times?

In my opinion it is not the right time to cash in, but, if you really need fiat, then convert some of your bitcoins, not all of your bitcoins, because converting it all means you are willing to lose profits by converting it on the right time. I mean, it is better to hold your bitcoin and earn profits in the long run rather than earning profit in just one shot, because you could earn more when you are going to choose the long run than you could earn on converting your bitcoin in just one shot.
6623  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts for Bitcoin in 2017? on: March 03, 2017, 06:36:10 AM
$2000 is a new dream after we think about $1000 last year. Well, I think bitcoin fluctuations price make us support it until now. It makes us dream day by day with all the questions and speculation about the price and development.
I always beleive, 2017 will be a great year for bitcoin.
That dream will surely come true, it's still very early and we are in third month of this year and yet the progress is already awesome. As the price will continue to rise bitcoin is getting stronger in our eyes and for me, this year could be the best year of bitcoin but thanks to the last halving for making this possible to us now.

I agree with you, this year is truly a good year for bitcoin, because its price is just fluctuating between $1000 and $1200, so, we are expecting that the next price of bitcoin would be $1500 but we don't know when will this thing happen. So, it would be better if we are going to hold our bitcoins and not convert it in just one shot, because you might regret it in the end when the bitcoins price goes up higher than its last price.
6624  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1 Bitcoin (2000-3000$) Worths 1 Carat Diamond - Don't Sell Your Bitcoins on: March 03, 2017, 12:58:39 AM
1 Bitcoin worth is 2000-3000$ like 1 carat diamond.

I created this thread to ask why it's better to not sell your Bitcoins?

Because its price will still go up until it reach its peak, but no one knows how much could it goes up, on what's price would bitcoin stop and will fall down again until its reach its price to the lowest. My friends said to me that the next price of bitcoin would be $1500, and I am waiting for it, that is why I am holding my bitcoin until now, I have just converted some of it, for me to have an allowance for a week.

According to those bitcoin users which are early adopters, they are saying that bitcoins price is like a pyramid, it would keep on going up, and when it did reach its peak, it would continuously fall down like the way its price went up.

I don't know what to react on this "joke" that OP were saying because it was not funny at all, besides, I am wondering what is this joke all about? I mean it is not helpful at all and just full of nonsense. Maybe it would be better if it would be post on the Off-topic and not on the Bitcoin Discussion because bitcoin is not a joke OP, take it seriously to help someone out there which has not idea about bitcoin by posting a post that makes sense, and not like this one.
6626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy Bitcoin With Visa on: March 02, 2017, 08:44:38 AM
Hey everyone, im looking for a trustworthy site to buy bitcoin with my visa card; i tried googling, but i get skeptical so i wanna hear from you guys; im afraid of being cheated.

If you don't want to be cheated then don't trust someone that easily, and using your VISA to buy bitcoins to confirm that you are not going to be scam by someone can't assure you that you are in the safe side, that is why it would be more better if you are going to find someone who sells bitcoin is your place and do it in person, it is more safe and secure than buying online.

Also, using VISA to buy bitcoin would just makes you vulnerable because you are not anonymous anymore, so the bitcoin anonymity would just become a nonsense when you are going to be like this.
6627  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can i do with Bitcoin? on: March 02, 2017, 08:22:21 AM
I use it on trading and for payments on some online stores.

I dont usually use it on trading and payments because i dont really use it to buy things, I exchange it on real money and buy things that i needed.

Same here, I'm only buying things in fiat after I have converted some of my bitcoins, because for me, using bitcoin on buying things that we need is not really worth it. We could lose profit on doing this, so, converting it to fiat first is the better idea that anyone could do if they are going to buy things, unless, the store or shop that where you are going to buy something only accepts bitcoin as a payment.
6628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: March 01, 2017, 05:36:05 PM
Bitcoin is being used widely in porn sites, gambling and drug dealing sectors. Is that why the btc made for ? I have seen a lot of members in this forum discussing about buying drugs, gambling and enjoying porn with bitcoin. Is not it a misuse of a currency ? Block chain tech is a awesome tech and btc is getting popular. I hate these misuses of precious btc. It hurts me. This will lead into unhealthy society along with unhealthy future generation.

It is because earning bitcoins or having bitcoins means two things, you have bitcoins, then you have dollars, while having just Fiat means you only have Fiat, nothing else. So, having bitcoins means you can have a lot of money by having profits from bitcoin in converting it to dollars in the right time, and compare on just having a Fiat, which price is fixed, we could be rich or could get easily what we want in doing bitcoin, that is why we prefer bitcoin over Fiat.
6629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to unapproved transactions? on: February 27, 2017, 04:29:18 PM

Transaction gets dropped and coins return to original sending address.

The timing depends, transaction may be rebroadcast.

The amount that you are going to send to someone will be automatically return to your wallet, if, that transaction will be denied because you didn't pay the right amount of fee and not to the original sending address . But, you don't even have a choice but to pay the fee because it is necessary for you to transfer bitcoin into someone's bitcoin address in every transactions that you are going to have.
6630  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: February 27, 2017, 03:22:18 PM
yes bitcoin does have its advantage because bitcoin gives the user opportunity to earn money and ma happy living just with a smartphone or laptop. bitcoin have good points like price hike which results in more value of available bitcoin in wallet.

Indeed, bitcoin's valuability is one of the reasons why all of us here prefers bitcoin than fiat. In bitcoin, its price is always fluctuating compare to fiat's price which is fixed, it also change but not that big like bitcoin. So, being a bitcoin users is one of the advantages that a single person could have, because he is superior to others who don't know bitcoin, because he is making more profits in using bitcoin compare to those people that only know is to earn fiat and close-minded in things like this thinking that it was just a scam.
6631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It's freaking 2017 - Do you own 1 BTC? on: February 27, 2017, 02:08:06 PM
I remember several years ago similar poll was made and i was surprised most of the users answered NO.
In case your answer is still NO, I'd like to know what is your main reason not to own one bitcoin?

Happy holidays!

edit: grammar

Well, it depends on how long does a certain person is using bitcoin, I know it is 2017, but not all of the people here in this forum are already using bitcoin for over years, some of them have just started this year. So, if we are going to talk about those bitcoin users that are already in the cryptocurrency world for let's say 2-3 years, then it is possible that they own 1 bitcoin or even more, only if they don't spend their bitcoin on to something like gambling, and other stuff that makes your bitcoin disappear.

Afternoon, All.

Just a friendly reminder:

Bitcoin was always meant to be used to purchase a cup of coffee or a can of soft drink or a candy bar:

Quote
It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.  If
enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling
prophecy.  Once it gets bootstrapped, there are so many
applications if you could effortlessly pay a few cents to a
website as easily as dropping coins in a vending machine.

Cheers,

I think using bitcoin on buying stuffs that is not that important is not worth it at all, we have this thing called fiat for this, and bitcoin is just for those transactions that we know that we have no choice but to pay in bitcoin. It is not easy to earn bitcoin, because it requires effort, time, and dedication on doing it, because if you are not, you are not here today, on this forum doing signature campaign to earn bitcoin and other ways to earn some.

So, if we could buy things like what you have said in Fiat, then let's not use our bitcoin, though we have our own choices, but it is just my opinion on not to use it on things like this, because it is worthless.
6633  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen when 1 satoshi is $ 1? on: February 27, 2017, 07:17:11 AM
What if bitcoin gains much more value than you anticipate? So what happens when 1 satoshi reaches the price of 1 dollar?
What kind of arrangement is made if payment is requested as Cent? Can the bitcoin core be modified?

I guess, what will happen is really awesome, because 1 satoshi is 1 dollar oh come on, it is the thing that we are always dreaming to happen, and making something like this is really unforgettable. And I'm sure that many people will turn on doing bitcoin because it is an instant money, though it is going to take some time before it came true, many consequences bitcoin must experience first before reaching something like this, and for this thing to happen in the future, we must support bitcoin no matter what.
6634  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's wrong with Bitcoin? on: February 27, 2017, 06:44:16 AM
BITCOIN network is under heavy attack.
BITCOIN Payments may be delayd because of this.
We are aware of this and waiting for the attack to be over.
Check the following link as it shows number of unconfirmed transactions in real-time.
https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions
Again , We know this and waiting for BITCOIN attack to be over.


What's wrong with Bitcoin, Blockchain, ePay? is there who can explain ... thanks.

If bitcoin network is under heavily attack then you can't open the blockchain in the first place or other site that is connected on that certain attack. This delayed transactions that you are saying is because of the limitation of the size of the blockchain causing traffics inside because of too many transactions that can't be process at a time because it already reached its limits.

Besides bitcoin network can't be hack easily, maybe what you are trying to say is only bitcoin, because millions of dollars of bitcoin has been hacked before on the blockchain by some pro hackers.
6635  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think the big names are invested already? on: February 27, 2017, 05:39:08 AM
Guys like George Soros are too smart to not see the importance of bitcoin, but are they too old to get it?

I know that Warren Buffet said a couple years ago how bitcoin makes no sense, obviously showcasing how old and deprecated his investing decisions are when it comes to cutting edge technology.

But I can see guys like Soros getting involved and learning about it and secretly taking a position.

I can also see Donald Trump, which has appointed bitcoin guys in his team, holding some in his portfolio already.

When the ETF passes, I can see tons of Wall Street people joining in as well, with some serious investments beyond for testing purposes.

It is not too late for anybody to do bitcoin and start on earning some, even though they are people who are popular in this world, and even those ordinary people like the most of us can also invest money to bitcoin, because it is the best thing that anyone could do in their life. We don't if they are already invested in bitcoin but I'm sure that they will.

They are popular people and they know how popular bitcoin is, because of its solidity, and its value. They are rich people who wants money because that is the rich people do, they don't stop on earning money, that is why it is possible that they already invest some of their money on bitcoin, just my opinion.
6636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Block is too large, what's the progress? on: February 27, 2017, 04:19:27 AM
btc   Block is too large, what's the progress?

What do you mean by Block is too large you mean the size of the blockchain or the size of the blocks that miner are mining? If it is the blockchain size, you are wrong, because it is not too large, it is the other way around, that is why the transactions that are been processing in the blockchain are getting delayed because it already reach its limit. But the Team that is concern about this problem is already taking their actions to fix this problem as soon as possible because we can't have slow transactions forever.
6637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we encourage anyone to develop self control in order to minimize gambling? on: February 26, 2017, 03:51:41 PM
Gambler who addicted can encourage, but need a people/person who oversee, at once become a tutor, means a people/person who can control such a gambler who addicted to follow the instructions or even force him/her(gambler who addicted).

I think the activity is not just sports, it can be anything which he/she likes and can distract from gambling activity, make him/her stay away from any gambling equipment and even erase he/she gambling account.

(The grammar though) Tongue

I think you are starting a world war 3 here , erasing someone's gambling account is not really necessary to help them to quit gambling, it will just cause a fight between you two or worst, because if you really want to help them, you will do it in a better way, like encouraging him to do something that is worth of his time than gambling. For example is this forum, teach him to do signature campaign so he can earn bitcoin per week, and not to lose bitcoin everyday, and I think that is great.

To be honest, we can't really change someone by just saying good things to them, encouraging them to do good stuffs and quit the thing that they do that don't benefits them, because if they do really want to change, it must be from their heart, they must be dedicated, so that the "Change" that they are looking for can be achieve by them.
6638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I never made any profits in dice game.. whats is your opinion on: February 26, 2017, 01:50:25 PM
First of all there is no method for making profits, there only one way you can make it, Luck and more luck. I have seem in many threads and even I have asked this question initially, but understood that it's all about your luck. For me It all about getting it right, so to begin with I play without money, see how many times it goes red and how many times it goes red. Then I make a bet, if it  goes on red, I stop till it comes green, then make a huge bet and leave. Sometimes I earn big, sometimes I loose. All about the lady luck on your side, hope this helps you. 

Most of the time you will never get profits from gambling, because gambling is all about losing most of the time, and those people who are doing this because they think that this is the way to multiply their money in an easy way, well, they are wrong, because instead of multiplying their money or bitcoin, they are making a way to lose all of it, and they are still keep on betting even though they know that they are going to lose again.

Gambling is always like this, if you won straight, and then you have already multiply your money, then, better call it a day and withdraw your profit, because if you continue, trust me, you are just going to lose it all and you are going to be mad at yourself because of this, so instead of doing gambling, let's just focus on something that will benefits us and we know that we are in the safe side, like doing Signature campaign, so we could earn bitcoin per week or even per month.
6639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Chain of Points - Transforming Loyalty Into Rewards on: February 26, 2017, 07:22:38 AM
Where is the registration form of the campaign?

Here is the signature campaign thread

6640  Other / Off-topic / Re: How are you earning BTC? on: February 25, 2017, 03:52:32 PM
Making bitcoins from the campaign is my the best source of bitcoins today. I gamble sometimes, but it's mostly just for fun, never got any real profit from that. And commenting depends only from me and my activity, my current campaign have daily maximum as 20 comments. And it's a lot, some campaign make weekly maximum as 30 comments. So if I comment a lot my earnings are really good and stable. that's what I like the most.
No doubt that all will agree if i say signature campaign is the best way to earn bitcoin. It's easy and fast so lot of people should try campaign. You'll work hard to earn just like in real life we need to work to live. It's actually a good thing because earning here in forum is just like having a job. Just remeber to work hard and give a lot time for your signature campagin. Follow the rules and make your post 3 or more line if possible.

But signature campaigns doesn't give you that much big amount. There is a rule that you can only use one account per perosin or ip address. Even if you have a high rank account, weekly or monthly payment is not enough to buy things you want. Signature campaign is a good way of earning bitcoin without any investment. If you want to earn more, you still need to find other ways to earn btc like trading.
