Well money cant really buy happiness but it is better to be sad on a nice comfy bed or a couch or in a lamborghini than under a bridge on a cold stormy night with nowhere to go and nothing to eat! Well happiness of course has no price tag but it doesn't hurt to be rich (Filthy rich is separate). Hence, it is up to us what we want to believe and whether we are truly happy! Happiness anyway is a subjective thing and can never be absolute, i.e, you can never be forever happy or forever sad!
7862  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: January 03, 2018, 05:58:05 AM
Yes of course!!! There are two ways where it may lead to corruption! There may be a corruption on the side of the bitcoin developers pr the largest owners to always keep the bitcoin price at a certain level (just like in the case of diamonds where prices are artificially controlled to keep the demand high). The other corruption will be at the end of the regular bureaucrat who may ask donations or bribe in terms of bitcoin. We must remember that bitcoin in itself may be untrackaeable. It only becomes paper trail once someone monetizes it! So, there is still some years ahead of us to prove that it is actually better than the current system Smiley 
7863  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why media against bitcoin ? on: January 03, 2018, 05:49:07 AM
Well almost 100% of media is sold out to governments, political parties, big business houses etc. This results in trying to control money and bitcoin transfers that control to people to some extent and in fact it may lead to certain branches or unknown complications which may not be beneficial to these guys. Hence, the negative propaganda! I would have been ok if it was neutral. These guys are trying to repeat a lie to where it becomes the bible! Smiley
7864  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do Altcoins really have a future? on: December 28, 2017, 09:15:05 AM
Altcoins have a future but just like everything else bitcoin and ethereum will always have the first movers advantage. Even in the mainstream media, people just know about bitcoin so it may be beneficial in short term if the altcoin has very good benefits!!! It may benefit the owners and earn them good money but for long term there will always be a few coins which will rule the market because people will have faith in them. One may replace another but overall the statistics will always remain the same. Smiley Smiley
7865  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin a Bubble? on: December 28, 2017, 09:11:58 AM
Well of course it is a bubble!!!! There is no doubt in that!!! For e.g look at the frenzy, a company changed its name from Long island icetea to Long island blockchain and its share prices skyrocketed in a couple of days!!! The real question is at what point of the bubble are we at??? If the price continues to rise, what is the breaking point?? This is a very tricky question and everyone can just guess but not separate the facts from fiction. Only waiting can tell tus what will ifnally happen in the future. Smiley Smiley
7866  Other / Politics & Society / Re: do you think that corruption can be deleted totally in your country? on: December 28, 2017, 09:08:34 AM
It is beyond human cognition or reach to erase corruption a 100%. There are many reasons for it! There is enough for needs but not for human greed! Its basic nature of humans to seek more and more. Everything seems not enough for us!!! It may of course decrease but total eradication, boy oh boy!!! I really doubt it! But as per your question, there are a few steps that can help:
1. Education (Mostly primary. Better primary education results in better humans)
2. Higher pay for primary healthcare and primary teachers (It will attract more talent to these and may not result in lackadaisical attitude towards education and healthcare)
3. Digitization of most measures resulting in lesser human layers which will improve basic features and reduce bribery and other such corrupt practices
4. Use of technology and proper implementation.
5. Limit to terms in political positions and fixed retirement age. 
7867  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I stop Buying BTC? on: December 27, 2017, 05:08:44 AM
Well I hope you did not stop buying bitcoin... Just look at where it is now!!! If you had bought a lot of those at 5k a piece it has tripled now and you must be rich so congratulations (hopefully) and I wish you all the best for your future too!!! The bitcoin will still rise and would probably stop at around 30 - 40k a piece and then eventually it will subside and stabilize like any other phenomenon on this planet Smiley
7868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mark Cuban finally admits HE OWNS BITCOIN NOW on: December 27, 2017, 05:03:05 AM
Hahahaha!!! This is so funny! The man now has to speak for it!!! I think anyway he is more concerned about being rich than being respectable so I guess honor is/was out of question anyway! Well I would still wish him good luck for his future Smiley Smiley because unfortunately given the popularity of bitcoin it is bound to attract crowds like these towards it and we must face the eventuality of fame Smiley Smiley
7869  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can Music Actually Change Lives? on: December 21, 2017, 08:45:50 AM
Of course music changes life. It will of course not be tangible (unless you are a musician) but it changes the way you perceive things, relaxes you when times are tough, channels your anger, motivates you and so much more! The tangible effect might be a healthy body but the kind of music motivated you to reach that goal! Imagine the world without the musical chirping of birds or movies without the background score Smiley
7870  Other / Politics & Society / Re: There IS life after DEATH: Scientists reveal shock findings on: December 21, 2017, 08:35:09 AM
The preliminary results seem encouraging. However, we are still in early stages of out of life research! This is also limited due to many beliefs that pre exist in our society. There needs to be coherence. For e.g., Hinduism believes in reincarnation but Christianity does not! So where will research start or which direction it will move? The convept of God itself varies from person to person. Hence, I believe there is still time to recognize the true nature of life after death or any other paranormal phenomenon for that matter Smiley
7871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IS BTC Halal ? on: December 20, 2017, 06:20:45 AM
BTC is above all religions! It is so high that it is a religion in itself! This religion does not discriminate on the basis of halal or color! BTC is pure! In fact it is so pure that only pure H20 can match its aura! Everything else just seems obfuscate in front of the great Lord! I hope the aura remains forever as we the omniscient pests of this darthly world can survive the apocalypse under one true leadership of the mighty Bitcoin! Tongue Tongue Tongue

Hi,

I was banned on Deeponion forum yesterday citing the following reason:

You have been banned for the following reason: domination tasks posting without proofs. just copy pasted task. or just "voted" like a bot

I feel that the ban is unfair as I have been reading the complete guidelines and posting screenshots by myself to perform the deeppoints tasks with complete sincerity from my end. If you still feel that this is justified, I am really sorry and I request you to please remove the ban as I assure you that I will improve the posts even further and do all the tasks with even more sincerity than I am currently doing.

Thanks

We had alot of issues regarding abuses observed in domination tasks we had to ban 200+ members, i will check yours and lift if possible.

Also we have an issue in datacenter we will inform you when our servers is back.

Thanks the ban is removed. However, I suppose I will have to wait 7 days to be available for the domination tasks! But I still believe my posts were all genuine and I followed all rules posted in the domination forum to post stuff! But I guess, I will make sure I do better! Thanks again althouhg it does hurt when genuine members are sometimes considered as abusers! I am still hopeful and sure that things will improve in the future as I do understand your workload! Cheers! Smiley

7874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do if Bitcoin Price Crashes on: December 14, 2017, 05:22:16 PM
If it crashes!!!, just hold it till it rises again because mark my words it will rise. It may not rise as fastbut it will follow a sinusoidal curve of growth where the downfall will be damped every cycle!!! So I would recommend even it it crashes just keep holding. On the other hand if it rises too much just sell them and live off a life of luxuries with a big yacht and a house Tongue Tongue (Dont sell them all though Tongue Tongue)
7875  Other / Politics & Society / Re: do you believe in your government? on: December 14, 2017, 10:57:05 AM
Well in my part of the world, you cannot trust anyone, sometimes unfortunately not even your family. Every individual is separate and humans tend to change their characteristics from time to time. So you should believe in your government but not blindly. People who are in power never want to let go of it! People's government is a myth. Mostly governments are a slightly twisted version of a ruler where blood decides the new ruler compared to democracy where people vote. But government are made of people and they will never do anything that may lead to their own downfall so it is ok to blieve but I dont think it is worth believeing them. However, governments do exist and sometimes it does work for the betterment of people Smiley Smiley I just hoped humans were not power hungry then we would have been much better off. Smiley Smiley
7876  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: Rising or Falling? on: December 14, 2017, 10:48:35 AM
Well, bitcoin will rise helped by its introduction in the mainstream now. Bitcoin used to be Led Zeppelin of the 60s when people found it too noisy or trashy to do anything with it. However, now bitcoin has become the Led Zeppelin of 2017 where everyone appreciates them at a level just next to the gods above! Hence, it will continue to rise in the near future, but obviously not forever. Smiley Eventually, like anything else, it will stabilize and move at a steady pace. However, in my country, there have been recent income tax raids in the bitcoin exchanges in the country, trying to seize account details of people who have made transactions. Incidents like this may increase in few more countries which may lead to a temporary setback. However, no one can stop bitcoin to rise as of now!!!! Smiley
7877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Cash is better than Bitcoin. on: December 14, 2017, 10:01:45 AM
Cash can be used in many regions which do not have internet connection. The generation before us is not internet friendly, hence they prefer cash. Cash is also convenient to keep and use whenever you want without having to worry about internet connection. The acceptability of the cash is so huge that nothing beats it. Hence, it is impossible to compare cash and bitcoin. Still a lot of places in my country use cash instead of credit cards, let alone bitcoin. I feel bitcoin may work in urban areas but rural areas, till the sun is there, there will be cash!!!!
7878  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people sell bitcoins? on: December 07, 2017, 02:04:25 PM
Well, there may be mulitple reasons as to why someone needs to sell bitcoins. They may be in dire need of money due to bad loans or medical emergencies. They may be stupid to not foresee the future of bitcoin and sell whatever they have. I know a lot of times people did not think that bitcoin was going to take off and then they paid some bitcoin coz they did not have cash at that moment. Hence, it can be anything. It  may even be illegal in your country to transact in bitcoins. In my country the central reserve bank has issued an official warning against investing in bitcoins although this may not even impact people who have invested but eventual legislation may force a lot of people to sell their bitcoins. ;Smiley
7879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can cryptocurrency make real money disappear? on: December 07, 2017, 09:26:26 AM
What are the chances of living in a world with no actual money ?  Shocked

Low. I think personally that cryptocurrencies wont make FIAT useless, but I think that cryptocurrencies will work hand-in-hand with FIAT money. Especially in countries like the United States, and the other first-world countries; I don't see FIAT going anywhere soon.

I doubt that the fiat currencies would disappear completely. There are too many countries and too many banking and financial institutions who hold a large amount of sway about the direction of financial transactions that it is almost impossible to erase them! What may happen is that they merge the cryptocurrencies with the fiat to utilize the best of both worlds and earn money out of it just like they do now with transaction fee for the moeny we use Smiley Too much power is in very few hands and democracy being a myth a always will never let this happen where people will have distributed power!! Smiley
7880  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The problem with atheism. on: December 07, 2017, 09:22:48 AM
Well!!! Thats an interesting post!! However, I would like to draw your attention to the most important law that all humans should know apart from Evolution. As far as we are concerned in microscopic human environment whatever we do is not always meaningless. Useless, Well may be, but meaningless, I doubt it!. We are all but a sum of the choices that we make. Our life is not really that different from those sims like games where every individual reaches a certain place based on what choices they make. Everyone in this planet is presented multiple choices, the free will in us decides which one we want even though we may think its forced! Hence, if you believe in athiesm, that is your choice and it would definitely lead you to a path that would lead you to a certain path. Now if you chose to believe in God, it is your choice and it will definitely lead you to a different path. But in the end, it may be like you both end up in the same place! Life is interesting just like the game of life Wink Have fun till it lasts! Tongue Tongue
