I think the main point people who hate muslim because of the isis effect but not all of the muslems are bad isis member have another religion too so make sure the point wont go wrong  no dont hate Muslims, that is too general! During the horrific bombings in the UK in the 80's carried out by the IRA honest decent Irish people living there were made to feel very unwelcome by SOME poeple. its very easy to be general. I have a muslim family living beside me and they refuse to teach their children any religion they want them to learn them selves and make their choice. Think of the Billions of people who have been killed to date in the name of RELIGION |

I think BTC is viewed as being complicated and a bit of a gamble oh wait that is true  people all around the worls whether employes or unemployed get their wages and benefits in Fiat, their utility bills, car running costs, education costs are all in Fiat, thats the accepted system the norm. I cant go to my fuel station and get 1000 sathoshi's of petrol I cant pay my kids school trip to the zoo with BTC I cant pay my house electricity in BTCUntil is is seen as a viable option for paying for goods and services i think it will be seen as something for investors and as such a bit of a gamble |

Following on from another thread about what you are planning for your BTChttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1817086.0;topicseenI have been considering recently about the type of person that buys into Cryptocurrencies particularly BTC. It would be interesting to know a bit [not too much!!] about people who are "into this" Who bought in at the start? Are you an employee, Employer ? What age group do you belong in? For me, I just bought in in January! Im an employee and I was born in the 70's ! |

2.Ethereum3.Monero 4.Ripple 5.Dash |

So as buying altcoin is one of the top ways to make profits and also increase bitcoin.
I was wondering what is best when buying altcoin, to buy the altcoin with btc or with money? Does it actually make any difference?
How do you go about it?
I'm asking this because right now as the price of bitcoin is so high, you can buy more quantity of any altcoin with small amount of bitcoin, will it be the right way to go here?
From the past months of trading altcoins, all of my trades are paired with BTC. It is so easy to buy altcoins with BTC and as far as I know, most of the notable altcoin exchanges (Poloniex, Bittrex, etc.) only uses BTC. Just an advice, do some research before trading altcoins. It is a no brainer that altcoin can be very profitable but you must also consider the risk with it. just looking at the markets now it looks like almost everything in the top 20 anyway is on a slight negative, except ripple . . . there is a lot of speculative investing involved in altcoins I think |

It's a shame to see bitcoin merchants dropping out of the market, rather than seeing greater bitcoin merchant acceptance. It's what gives utility value to BTC.
Most people seem to be getting excited about the ETF. This turns BTC into a pure speculation coin and that is only going to end up with disaster.
Some people trade FOREX. Foreign exchange is changing assets with utility value.
If BTC has no utility value, it's just a lot of electricity wasted mining 1's and 0's.
and in turn would this mean going forward that there would be less and less mining? |

In a shop if bitcoin and fiat is accepted, then surely I'll go for fiat. The reason is that fiat has a common value, but bitcoin is not like that. Periodically bitcoin increases in value, so it's been saved as an investment to profit for a long time plan execution.
really good point, until Bitcoin is accepted and used more it will be difficult to use. Where I am in Ireland in my town the only place I know that may accept bitcoin is Starbucks but I dont go to Starbucks! so my only option at present is to save and maybe purchase goods online! |

cannabis are illegal in our country, which is everybody knows that its a good medicine, but one you saw using it you will be arrested. i wish i could go on your country hahaha.
In mine too. How could you say that this is completely legal? I read in our laws that possession of illegal drugs less than an ounce would be punishable by law. Which means that even if you have only 0.2% THC on those teas then that is actually possession of illegal drugs. Also, the packaging is not so discreet. For sure this might get blocked at the customs gate. i'd say there are cannabis products for sale legally over the counter, we had cannabis incense sticks before but the levels of THC are so low |

Very good thread and interesting to see other peoples reasons for gettint into bitcoin.
For me im saving it bit by bit for the future really. It the only "investment" i have.
Really other than my house. I may in the future may some purchases for.
Goods i would need but overall i think i would be pretty frugal with it.
Personally i see an uncertain future globally and i like the fact that this.
Is decentralised and the government is oblivious to what i have.

i think malware on phones is going to be a massive problem going forward
especially with the increase in "mobile" devices and how people use them
for their financial accounting/general banking. its constantly in the back of
my mind when i use the banking app on my phone.
"whats going on in the background........"
even more reason to have a stand alone isolated laptop, netbook or PC
for sensitive material and BTC
the future is bright scary,
but shure if a fella has feck all there is feck all to be stolen.....

no man not kidding,
The word "Slut" washes off ME like water because it is gender specific in my opinion.
but I can see where the OP was taken aback again because it is gender specific.
Is there no other description other than words like Whore and Slut to use?
"There is a price you will pay for prostituting out your personage" like a common signature slut.

There is a price you will pay for whoring out your personage like a common signature slut.
What do you mean by that I mean that nothing in life is free. If you are getting paid to post, you have an incentive to blather endlessly on topics about which you know nothing. This forum is infested with signature sluts who create post after post after post of meaningless drivel. Because of this, a paid sig is a signal to the rest of us that your post is not worth reading. So we don't. These points are true as regards true newbies! but the word "slut" doesn't help particularly when applied to a female! I am not new to forums, I probably have 5,000 posts up on other forums over the last 15 or so years! It is important to do some research and get involved and try not to sound too foolish build up the experience and post count in the process. best of luck from one newbie to another !!! |

It depends on how you define "Bank"
I havent been in the building that my Bank occupies in about 8 months!
The only time I have to visit my bank is if someone pays me with a Cheque
otherwise I do everything online, easy, hassle free, and quite quick!
so I think the physical banks will dissappear as in a name over a door
but the banking system will remain.

IMF & Worldbank wont make a one world currency par-say.
they have/will however control, secure, be the transport conduit, and the auditor of all the future FIAT currencies that get into using blockchains.
much like merging SWIFT, RTGS and other international wire transfer protocols into one
hyperledger allows subchains(sidechains/altcoins) that are all in the end audited by the hyperledger.
hyperledger itself wont have a 'coin' but will have a ledger to list and secure the audits of the other FIAT chains that join to the hyperledger network.
IMF, worldbank and BIS wont make money just having a "one world currency". they make money on the trades (forex swaps) between the different currencies and the demand/ supply of different currencies.
so there wont be a "one world currency" but there could/would be a one world network
Yup this sounds like a good theory. would I be right in saying that really this is what Ethereum primarily is edging towards? |

I saw that post too, but it was also commented on that nowhere
else on the web was there a "Prediction" of the ETF being approved other than
the link posted in the thread.
The conspiracy theorists may believe the deal has already been done,
but the date is the date 11th March [Saturday] but that may actually be the 10th!

So today sees the 1st day that Apple Pay is live in
Its only about 2 years since it went live but I was wondering
is this a step closer to making Bitcoin and alt-coins more useable
or is it just making it easier for the "youth" to use their Fiat funds?

We are entering a massive exodus from the Euro and into dollars and other safe havens outside the collapsing economies of Europe due to BREXIT and will accelerate when Le Pen is elected in France in 2 months. This will also drive an increase in speculation in those assets which are ignited by this flood of capital seeking a home.
....and to a lesser extend the Dutch voting on the 15th of March where another right wing party like Le Pen's french party may be elected. There is a lot of uncertainty here in Europe as to the future of the euro as there is a move to control borders, contrary to what the euro and eu is about. so yes there are a lot of issues to play out firstly this week 11th March, next week 15th and the french elections next month.... interesting [?] times |

I think that Ethereum is not worth what price we have right now, it's just for contracts and new members think that Ethereum is big thing...
It's hyped because people think that this cryptocurreny will be used for payments in stores and websites, but actually not.
What you can say?
I believe everyone is entitled to his or her opinion in which you have rightly done and you should equally not be condemned for but if it were to be by wish or opinion that the price of coins are determined, I am sure the price of bitcoin would have been $100000 to a bitcoin but unfortunately, it does not work that way. The prices works, our opinion does not matter its on the basis of demand and supply and nothing else probably other factors that are not quantifiable. I can relate to this! I got into ETH recently because I read that Microsoft and Intel are onboard to some degree, which would suggest they see some -value- in ETH |
