Immaterial at all. FIAT is used for illegal transactions even prior to bitcoin being invented.

Since bitcoin/alts are sort of a currency, then it will be used for illegal transactions as well.
That's absolutely true, you can't blame bitcoin for the surge in drug trade, Its just that now its far easier to launder money with bitcoin than laundering the actual cash but still people do launder money even without bitcoins. Even when bitcoins is gone they are still going to do it.

Scammers will always find a way to launder money or anonymously sell drugs. And it does not matter what they will use - crypto currency or cash.
Currency - it's just an instrument

Well you're and it's a more convenient way for these people to do their trades which is quite sad. As much as bitcoin can better the lives of proper living citizens ,it can also better transactions for illegal activities such as drug cartels and syndicates

I believe that religion is not needed for people. In religion, there is no such benefit that would lead a person to develop new technologies or cure diseases, religion only takes time.
I would agreed to your statement, religion is not a gateway or open door going to heaven. Sometimes it becomes the reason to make people  do sins , due to the doctrines and sectarian does the church have. But belief in God is very needed not the religion f course.

Well those are good points. If you think about it, if we go down to the essentials, it doesn't require any complicated religious laws to be a good person. Love and respect should be at the core of it and religion sometimes just makes it difficult to love and respect other people.

Will GOD worthy to be Praise or Not?

Please answer Clearly stating your point of view.


Thanks for The Response, I believe in GOD, and He is worthy to be Praise Cheesy

I'm a believer so i also think that praise ua due to god. Though we have to be really careful because this can be taken advantage of many people who act all religiously. Blind faith will lead you to ruin and to be taken advamtage of by vile people
6644  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How to be contented on what you have? on: September 05, 2017, 03:27:20 PM
To be contented with what you have is to know what makes you happy. Family, friends, good health and a stable job, these for me is enough to make someone happy. Learning to value these things will make you feel contented. Having a lot of money makes you feel that you want more. It defeats the purpose of being contented with what you have.

to be contended with what you have, you just have to enjoy everything whole-heartedly. Be satisfied what god has given to you and be happy with what you do in that way, all else will follow according o what you believe is perfection to ones life.

It seems that to really understand contentment, you have to know how it feels to have nothing or to have less. Funny that contentment most of the time is reflected on those people that don't really have any luxury. Simple things mean a lot and its easier to smile and be happy

What do you think will happen to the world without leaders like the President, Prime Ministers, King, Queen,etc.? I mean if we accused our leaders of being corrupt, oppressive and all other things, if they are not in the position, what will happen?


You do understand that in order for society to thrive and be organized, there should be a structure for leadership or government. It just boils down to the kind of leaders we have. Anyways most of the time the leaders are selected by us so we have to also be responsible in choosing
6646  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What is the Meaning of Sin? on: September 05, 2017, 02:53:50 PM
In general, i think it's something that you that's not in accordance to he law. Its the same as a crime that people commit and that retribution is waiting for people who commit sin. I don't even wanna go to the religious aspect of this.
6647  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is it possible that cryptocurrency will be totally accepted by government? on: September 05, 2017, 02:51:33 PM
I wanna ask if it is really possible that cyptocurrency will be accepted by the Government and will you agree that it will be subjected to tax when that time comes?

We all know that Fiat money is the form of currency that we are using right now, so when the world accepts cryptocurrency as a universal form of currency, then it will be taxed.


Yeah, I agree that government will find a way to tax bitcoin. Tax and transaction fee would be a big problem for average user so I hope they will leave it alone.

Hopefully they'll leave it alone but of course, for any government to entirely accept cryprocurrencies, they will try to find a way to be in control of it. And the reason why people dig this crypto revolution is because it's decentralized and not controlled by governments and banks.
6648  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Where would society be without the internet? on: September 05, 2017, 11:14:22 AM
I think society would be normal I guess. If you look at the internet, people are willing to do insane stuff just to get famous.

If we had not known the importance of internet then we would have been able to live our life without it but as at today, I don't think our life will be back as normal because a lot of our activities are fully reliant on the internet everything even up to the point of ordering for food and pizzas is on the internet among others. So our life will not be normal at all.

Yeah that's the thing. Right now we've all been so reliant to the internet that newer generation would have a hard time coping with lifr without it. Back during the days, i remember doing things manually and i think there would still be other alternatives had the internet not been introduced.
6649  Other / Off-topic / Re: What will the world be like in 100 years on: September 05, 2017, 11:07:07 AM
Best case scenario it will be a utopia. The world sheds the dated idea of currency and government simply decides what study or research that resources go to. Everyone will be treated equally and no responsibility is placed on them, most parts of life will be automated and simplified to the point where we might not even need to lift our fingers anymore. It might be heaven on earth.

That would be a nice thought to think about. Though with the way things are turning out today, i don't think we're even close to achieving that utopia. Well it has tonstart somewhere and it's.good that there are people like you who believe but it would take much much work and changes for people of the next generation
6650  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bill Gates is set to become the world's richest billionaire on: September 05, 2017, 11:02:51 AM

After Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Spanish retail tycoon Amancio Ortega is the latest threat to billionaire Bill Gates' richest man.
Anyone who is the richest person, I think the only positive to think about it, because they had not in can be quickly, making them as examples for us to achieve what we dreamed of, because success needs time and effort,

And i don't think these rich people actually think whether they're the richest or not. If you're that rich, what difference does it make if you're number one or two or three? When you're that rich, you're not going to mind  anymore if you're richer than someone or someone is richer than you
6651  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why can not Japan launch a Korean rocket? on: September 05, 2017, 10:37:14 AM
This is not a new variety of their missile. They are just repeating the missile launches using the already known missiles. Japan did the right thing by practicing restraint. Kim Jong Un don't care about his own people. Shinzō Abe can't afford that luxury.

You're right. Kim is an attention seeker and is consistently provoking the us and other countries with missile tests though they know for a fact they won't survive an hour if the us and it's allies decide to bite. Any country who'd play kim's is risking to start a nuclear war and i think the other leaders know it.
6652  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Population on: September 05, 2017, 10:32:41 AM
I think that there is no need to worry about this, since many depraved acts and propaganda of homosexuality will gradually reduce the birth rate. Also, wars in some countries too will be destroyed by many people, you just need to immigrate for balance.

Well for every death tbough a lot more are being born even considering the factors you gave. Population is a concern and we're nearing the point where in the earth's resources would be hard-pressed to support it's inhabitants. It's a real problem like climate change that unfortunately, many people doesn't see as urgent
6653  Other / Off-topic / Re: Would you kill your own children if God commanded you to? on: September 05, 2017, 10:25:53 AM
Murder is bad and I will not do it no matter who orders me to do it. A person must protect a person, let alone his family, which he created to take care of her and to love her as she is.

I completely agree with you. There is nothing more evil than someone murdering his own child. How can anyone harm his own flesh and blood? And murdering little children is something which even the most barbaric of the terrorists would do.

Right. I don't see the sense in ordering someone to kill a child for the sake of proving faith. It's just morbid and i definitely wouldn't do it as well. If this is referenced to the bible story of abraham, i don't think it happened at all.
6654  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bully Problem on: September 05, 2017, 09:35:59 AM
Help me guys, I want to get rid of my bully friends but they are my true friends. A while ago I almost cried, my feelings got hurt again they were bullying me and they involved my parents.

Just look at the positive side. Everytime that you get bullied just think that you're not the one that they were pertaining about which is true I think. If the case is verbal abuse but if the case is physical abuse or bully. Then, leave them. They don't deserve you as their friend or maybe they are nit your true friends. You are better than what they think about. Chin up and face life.

Yeah its better to just turn around and spend time with people who can help you grow as a person instead of people bringing you down. It also needs to be addressed so that these bullies won't do it to othera also. Find someone who can help you out like a counsellor or simply tell your family about it so you can arrive at a solution to this together
6655  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do Love really exist ? on: September 05, 2017, 09:32:25 AM
Yes, because Hatred even came from LOVE. Hating something or someone was caused of doing something Bad on something or someone the LOVE.. Get the point?


Right. Love can be felt everywhere. It's not a tangible thing that you can hold but you feel it, you share it. You'll find evidence of love's existence wherever you turn your eyes to.
6656  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Evolution is a hoax on: September 04, 2017, 03:33:57 PM
If you think evolution is not real and believe in some fairy tale book that has been used to manipulate people for thousands of years then I'm sorry you really just are not that intelligent (In the most respectful way possible)

Thank you mister genius. I might be non intelligent(no seriously, there are a lot more intelligent people than me. I know my limitations), but at least I'm not mad like some of users of this forum.

How could you not call it madness when they have three options

1. have eternal life
2. not believe it because of reasons they check out, or
3. they could choose not to believe, but instead believe, that they do not have to check, why they do not believe.

They all choose option 3. That's pure madness.

Where is the evidence? They are just claiming his findings are wrong, why? Who realized this?

I guess anyone can find that actually, by reading his work. You believe in what is written there, so I guess you were not bothered to look. Such a statements could make those people end in jail. They are not in jail, and they had not deleted this from their page hence - they had read his work and are sure that his experiments have self contradictory evidence.

What are you waiting for? Sue them. Or mail the guy that wrote your materials that you quoted. He would be glad to have his work promoted by winning such a trial in which people, that called him fraud would lose.

All that Darwin proved was that he didn't know enough to prove much of anything else.

Cool

Darwin was a theologian. His book "the origin of species" was written by someone else. Actually an evolution is a religious dogma "invented" by arabic scholars in 13th century. Later adopted by catholic theologians and masonry. Evolution is a religious dogma.

No matter how hard you try you are still a hypocrite. As I said, extremely skeptic about anything that has to do with science but so easily willing to believe what an old book tells you. You are just gullible. Your logic makes no sense.

Im extremely skeptical about things that completly contradicts itself like evolution. Its really dumb idea... and very very toxic and foolled a lot of people.

Well there's really no logical alternative to it though. It's not as if its more realistic to believe that we magically came from ashes. Weigh in all the theories of how we came to be and evolution would still the easiest thing to reality
6657  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you agree in death penalty? on: September 04, 2017, 03:31:59 PM
Lock them up in a real bad place for life, one that makes them wish for a death penalty. Problem solved.

I agree with the death penalty but it should have a proper study before it should be implemented because death penalty can be used in a bad manner or in a wrong way. If there's a convict we should see to it that he/she is the right suspect.

Indeed. It boils down to making sure that the person to be executed is really guilty or not. It would basically be plain murder if death penalty is implemented and innocents are being put to death instead of the guilty ones
6658  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Cryptocurrency to feed the poor? on: September 04, 2017, 03:30:25 PM
I think it is possible that cryptocurrency can be used to feed the poor but the problem is how can you teach to the poor about cryptocurrency or bitcoin. They will not easily understand it. Also they still need to invest time, effort and even money before they can earn.
that's the real issue since they are lack in knowledge and capacity to understand this new system maybe if developers will make some portions of their
earnings to build a charity house and give them shelter and food that's still possible to feed the poor.

The poorest of people in the world can not even read or write, it's not possible for them to use crypto because of this.

Well here's another thought. If someone who's raking up a lot of btc each day would be up to it, he can feed the poor through cryptocurrency. People who are earning btcs can join up and make feeding programs to feed the poor. So crypto basically can do it through it's users

NOOOOO!!! even if it's the most delicious and nutritious food on earth.. NEVER!!

Well it probably has enough protein and fat to sustain you in an extended apocalypse scenario. But if it were me, i won't kill a person so i cam eat up their meat. I'd only do it if it's a dead body. Hell if it's for survival, it won't go against morals if you eat a nonliving person.
