81  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Get notifications when BTC rices or drops on: May 03, 2019, 04:01:28 PM
There are many applications for that, even most of them probably have this feature because it is the most demanded one. But the problem I faced in the past was that you always need to be connected to internet to get notifications, you can probably get them without internet connection as well.

Most coins except Bitcoin are dependent on their teams so when those people will move on to other things or the business will fail, the coin will worth nothing, though they don't already worth nothing. Some like Ethereum is able to survive in the very long term.

What if there is really no picture of real satoshi on the internet? If you search for Satoshi Nakamoto, you can rather see what he does not look like.
84  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can you buy with bitcoin? on: May 03, 2019, 10:03:32 AM
Through crypto debit cards I can buy anything I want with Bitcoin as visa or mastercard is accepted everywhere. Besides that, there are many shops accepting Bitcoin but I don't think I would pay with btc.

Anonymity is the most important thing in crypto period unless you can exchange it for something that might worth it like reputation, recognition etc.
86  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you buy National Lottery tickets with Bitcoin in your country? on: May 02, 2019, 10:40:42 PM
Those lotteries might be more scammy than the provably fair ones. There are individuals directly selling such lottery tickets, I may buy from them with Bitcoin but they will probably need to exchange it for fiat.
87  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NYPD: Bitcoin thieves posing as government officials have stolen over $2M on: May 02, 2019, 10:37:09 PM
That's extremely important case for crypto hodlers because even most of the time getting cash back is impossible in such cases. For crypto it can be like a game, once you sent your all wealth is gone.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin is the world's 3rd strongest currency on: May 02, 2019, 08:34:18 PM
Bitcoin is the world's strongest currency of its kind. I don't compare it to fiat money, gold is ok. It is way better than fiat currencies but definitely not strong at all, just look at the tiny market cap.
89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should bitcoin be limited to 21 million? on: May 02, 2019, 08:29:39 PM
I believe it is limited to 21 million to make an unit of Bitcoin equal to $1 in the very long term when Bitcoin is totally adopted.

If the supply was capped at 100 million BTC it would still be able to do so.


Exactly, ''It was a difficult choice'' so 21 million supply is not that magical, but it might be so as well considering how much deliberation went into this decision.
90  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 20 TOP Cryptocurrency Countries that visit Crypto Exchanges on: May 02, 2019, 08:22:53 PM
''The instability in FIAT currency markets has opened the door for people to look at cryptocurrencies as an alternative source of wealth, In times of economic instability, citizens look for alternatives and cryptocurrencies have quickly become a viable option.''

I don't really understand how they come to this conclusion everytime when a currency crashes, that's totally wrong! especially for Turkey. The sole reason for this country to be in the top 10 is get rich quick mentality.
91  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IS BITCOIN ATM PROFITABLE BUSINESS ? on: May 02, 2019, 08:15:48 PM
I think that totally depends on the country, current regulations etc. so no one can say it will be profitable or not. I don't know the costs but it can be profitable if there is a real demand for that.
92  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The use of Crypto currencies in our country. on: May 02, 2019, 07:17:56 PM
The sole use of cryptocurrencies at least in many countries = exchanging with fiat money on the exchanges. Then you do whatever with your fiat money, I know that's really bad.

Good list, I liked this ''Gramatik - Satoshi Nakamoto'' But, there probably appear scam ads at the beginning of these videos Cheesy Other Bitcoin mentions make no sense, the famous is clueless.
94  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Satoshi Nakamoto is alive? Today he posted on p2p foundation. Your opinion? on: May 02, 2019, 07:08:06 PM
He is no doubt alive, I think he will not appear again ''never'' That make senses for both satoshi himself and Bitcoin. He'd been anonymous from the beginning, think about it.
95  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can We Find Satoshi? on: May 02, 2019, 06:15:07 PM
No we can't but some people can easily find and to me found Satoshi. The problem is that there is no financial or any other motivation to search for his real identity.
96  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you own Bitcoin and use Outlook to access your exchange accounts, read this.. on: May 02, 2019, 06:13:33 PM
Seems like not real, but 2FA or other type of verifications are also necessary for email account itself. Still no one should hold large amount of coins in exchanges unless they are traded.

I believe it is limited to 21 million to make an unit of Bitcoin equal to $1 in the very long term when Bitcoin is totally adopted.

''My choice for the number of coins and distribution schedule was an educated guess. It was a difficult choice, because once the network is going it's locked in and we're stuck with it. I wanted to pick something that would make prices similar to existing currencies, but without knowing the future, that's very hard. I ended up picking something in the middle. If Bitcoin remains a small niche, it'll be worth less per unit than existing currencies. If you imagine it being used for some fraction of world commerce, then there's only going to be 21 million coins for the whole world, so it would be worth much more per unit. Values are 64-bit integers with 8 decimal places, so 1 coin is represented internally as 100000000. There's plenty of granularity if typical prices become small. For example, if 0.001 is worth 1 Euro, then it might be easier to change where the decimal point is displayed, so if you had 1 Bitcoin it's now displayed as 1000, and 0.001 is displayed as 1.''

98  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NEW Video Commercial promoting Bitcoin was just released today!! on: May 02, 2019, 06:01:29 PM
I liked the video but it promotes grayscale bitcoin trust not bitcoin itself, and I believe Bitcoin does not need to be promoted in such ways. Bitcoin, to me, has no chance against gold since it is only 10 years old.
99  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO PROMOTE BITCOIN MASS ADOPTION? on: May 01, 2019, 06:18:18 PM
To me, promoting it to friends, relatives has nothing to do with adoption. Adoption is possible by enabling those people to easily use and understand crypto. You offer them the products and it will be eventually adopted.
100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Tether? on: May 01, 2019, 06:13:51 PM
Tether could drop to $0.75 or $0, it all depends on whether it is fully backed or they can make people believe so. I would not hold large amounts of tether because it has always been a shaddy operation.
