81  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we help bitcoin grow? on: January 30, 2018, 01:41:21 AM
There is nothing much we can do about it. The feeling for the real use shall come from the end user itself. There was simple fact/idea behind the bitcoin and that was to use the bitcoin as pseudo anonymous way to transact and go P2P easily. However whole humanity who is using it has changed the course of bitcoin with different angle. They using it to make money, create assets for themselves and exchange it for the shitty alts.

Bitcoin doesn't hold the promise it once did, explosive growth and adoption, now the only explosion in adoption is the number of segwit users. People are using the lightning network before it's ready, potentially damaging the bitcoin ecosystem.

So I ask you, what can we do to improve bitcoin adoption, reduce fees and protect bitcoin for being crushed by regulations?
We can help the bitcoin grow by educating people of what bitcoin can do in our lives. Prove them that they are wrong in thinking that it is illegal or came from scam. Be a good example by making your life successful.

That’s not gonna help mate. How many you will educate ? And by what means ? Greed comes first, forget about educating people !! They can’t.


We can help Bitcoin grow through social media advertising. Sharing what we know about Bitcoin and what are the possible things Bitcoin can do. We can also invest more in it. Education and awareness is the key so that Bitcoin will be known to the world.
We can help bitcoin grow by using bitcoin more often (of course not just bitcoin but other digital currencies too) but first start learning how is it work. Share to people how bitcoin is useful and helpful especially to those who don't have work. Teach other people that bitcoin is not a scam but a new generation of currency. That bitcoin can be used to save for their family in the future and bitcoin is very good for investing too if they cannot start a business because of financial problem they can invest in bitcoin even in a small amount of money, and most of it whatever you buy where and whenever always and always use bitcoin.
82  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin an asset or a currency? on: January 30, 2018, 01:17:42 AM
As far as I know, bitcoin is now considered as an asset and a payment method in some country. It's a very long way for bitcoin to be a currency.
Investors and early adopters like these (bitcoin) assets because they are untethered from the regular economy where fiat currencies, more traditional forms of exchange and value transfer reign the day. It is not without a sense of irony that part of Bitcoin’s rapid ascent this year is owed to the fact that traditional economy players are now paying close attention to this asset class. While some of this attention remains negative, profoundly confused or ambivalent, such as China and South Korea banning initial coin offerings ICOs along with ongoing attempts to regulate a fundamentally decentralized platform. Add to these negative views Jamie Dimon’s full-throated attack on Bitcoin including the threat of terminating any JP Morgan employee caught trading in the digital asset, and the unwelcome news levied against digital assets continues to mount. With each puff of hot air, however, as if in open revolt to traditional economic order, Bitcoin continues to defy the odds taking investors to stratospheric heights where the air begins to thin and bubbles traditionally deflate.
83  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to eliminate unemployment. on: January 29, 2018, 11:30:12 PM
Yea it can eliminate employer
It's can not eliminate unemployment, that's the reality but bitcoin can help unemployed to have to earn while finding an actual or regular job. Bitcoin is just gambling you will never rely on it. Because in bitcoin as long as the exchange is high that's the time you gonna have more money to sustain your needs and your families need but. And there's no permanent too in bitcoin start bitcoin earn money from it build your own business or find a regular job then continue bitcoin as your part-time job.
84  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Too late to get involved into Bitcoin? on: January 29, 2018, 01:24:57 AM
I think it's still not too late, or now is the right time to look for profit in bitcoin because bitcoin will be hardfork segwit2x on 16th of november. because the one having bitcoin will directly have bitcoin2x
For me involving into bitcoin will never be too late as long as you are fully dedicated that you really want to start doing bitcoin that you really finding time to your busy schedule and you are going to use bitcoin in a good way. And more importantly when you are already earning money from bitcoin share it with your friends family and relatives so that they can experience also the benefit of bitcoin in our daily lives.

Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?
It's better to save and to invest because for saving money is one safest way of investing money for the future..while investing for the present times ..you need to invest in present time for you to able to sustain your daily needs. And your money goes round and multiple and not stagnant while saving money is for your future.  Let's just say future of your children or even your own future when you get old at least you have your own money without stressing your self to anything.
86  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? on: January 28, 2018, 11:53:12 PM
I am trying to use bitcoin in many way in the real life in order to spread bitcoin in the physical world but it is hard because my country does not accept bitcoin and there is only a few coffe shops
My way of spreading  bitcoin knowledge is to be a good example bitcoiner to them I am trying to earn money from it and spend it wisely  and trying to explain bitcoin is not a scam unlike what others are spreading throughout the world (especially in media) show some example that makes them convince that you are really having good earnings out of bitcoin ..when there's a store or business that accept bitcoin as payment use bitcoin as much as possible so that they can see how bitcoin is convenient and safe to use .
87  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we explain that the bitcoins is not a scam on: January 28, 2018, 12:53:14 PM
Only yesterday's television shows here in our country could be a bad thing when you get involved with bitcoins. I'm so frustrated that the tv host has shown that bitcoins are a scam. Because of the fact that he has made many people will definitely not try to enter the bitcoins yet. And because that would be like an investment scheme that looks at bitcoins. That's not really true because bitcoins used to do bad things. And what I was most disappointed was that this tv host did not say the good side of bitcoins.

Now my question is how we can explain to those who watch tv that bitcoins is not a pyramiding scheme.

I guess your from Philippines too, I had watch some news also tackling bitcoins and scam associated with it. Yet since not all people are aware ad fully understand btc even those reporters, they have not make clarifications that bitcoin itself is not definitely scam but only those pseudo investments working like networking or pretending to be trading business operated by fake personalities. So I guess the most effective way to justify that btc is not scam is to inform people that btc is just a digital currency which unfortunately those scammer had chose to be their medium of transaction.
As for me the best way to explain people that bitcoin is not a scam is to be more active and successful bitcoiner and be a good example, because people still thinks that is bitcoin is scam as long there  is still people uses bitcoin for their wrongdoing and we can not stop the fact that not even in bitcoin but in paper money  its just that bitcoin is not yet into government that is why they can get away from their crimes without any trace left to investigate
88  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is useless on: January 28, 2018, 01:58:54 AM
LOL. This problems you have pointed is just being ignored by its users. You know why? Because it has been very profitable, of course RISK will always be there, but it is nothing compared to the price you can get.
Big NO bitcoin is very useful if you really a believer in it and you are not joining here just to earn money and everything but yes I know that the thing that comes to your mind in joining or starting bitcoin is to earn money (and I am guilty of that too) but what I am saying here is that bitcoin is gonna be useless to you if you do not put any dedication effort at time to learn how is it gonna be useful in your life . one thing is a problem to us people sometimes is if we earn today we are ok but if something disappoints us that's the end of everything.
89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You can actually buy a lot of things with Bitcoin on: January 28, 2018, 12:37:45 AM
Yes i think so, but i hope someday the online shops here in Philippines will accept Btc as payment. And also btc transactions cost too much, i hope it will go  down too.
Definitely, you can buy almost everything through bitcoin of course for bitcoin is already considered as a one payment method though not everyone accepts bitcoin yet but sooner I know that bitcoin will be accepted in all businesses online, mall, or even in small business ..and now yes you really can buy almost everything in bitcoin as long as the store or online business you want to buy on is accepting bitcoin..a simple logic for a simple but meaningful question.
90  Economy / Economics / Re: Many new rich people are created from Bitcoin on: January 27, 2018, 04:52:30 PM
You're right, bitcoin is the best way to get rich quickly. But it needs the right strategy that makes it real.
I do not think many of rich people is because of bitcoin yes there is no doubt bitcoin makes you rich. But not all rich people in the world is because of bitcoin. There still rich people who do not even trust bitcoin. Whether you believe it or not number one (1)discriminator of bitcoin are rich people because they invest a lot of effort and hard work to get rich in life to be part of upper society ...and we all know that bitcoin is considered as easy money. Unless you invest your money but still invest, trade or whatever you can do, still considered as easy money for me.
91  Other / Meta / Re: Why is merit so special on: January 27, 2018, 01:55:04 PM
Hy all,  How is merit and how is it important to the extent where they are selling it out.
Why is newbie not given merit?

Please your opinion.
Thanks for your answers. 
Because that is the newest update requirement  for us to be able to rank up and to determine if we doing good in bitcoin of posting and be more serious when it comes to sharing our thought ..for me, there is negative and positive outcome of merit .. let's go to the positive first aside from what I said above  merit also give as privilege to give merit to someone whos deserving and not just the one (1) whose popular and most higher rank and we all going to see which ones are serious about posting on every topic that is important to be discussed ..while on the negative side  ranking up gets more complicated because aside from activity you need to have required number of merit to rank up that means if you get the required activity and did not get the required merit you can not rank up unless you get the required merit and activities and  by applying to any campaign you need to have more merit so that you can get highest paid not just by rank anymore it is by merit which is I think unfair to us who makes bitcoin and joining in campaign serious because we are treating bitcoin as our part time job ..so we are doing are very best to share some opinion ..but if we do not have enough supporters of our opinion and someone gets mad at as we are not going to get merit that is required for bitcoin now.
92  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To be honest, how many people use bitcoin to invest on: January 27, 2018, 04:06:27 AM
To be honest, I did not see someone using bitcoin in the real world, because bitcoin is still banned in my country and there is no channel to support the use of bitcoin in reality.
I think there still few people whos investing in bitcoin lets just rate in four (4) out of Ten (10) because bitcoin is not that popular in our days and there is some people who already new about bitcoin its just that they really want to learn more before they put money on bitcoin they need to be ready in terms of knowledge about bitcoin and not just try and try without any knowledge about the field you want to try on (thats was my friend told me just earlier he need to know more about bitcoin before he actually start in bitcoin same with what I actually did before I started in bitcoin.

payment received thank you yahoo.
94  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a mode of payment on: January 24, 2018, 11:10:54 PM
I don’t think there are that many employers paying in Bitcoin at the moment, I think we will see an increase over the coming years tho
It is actually  one of the mode of payment now..its just that bitcoin is not that popular yet to the world but I know soon bitcoin will be a number One (1) mode of payment in the world because this is safer than cash, credit/debit cards..
95  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gambling as investment? on: January 24, 2018, 01:12:23 PM
It's pretty unsafe. Isn't that a gamble?
It's a classic pyramid scheme or a ponzi scheme, and it's just a gamble with bitcoin, which I think is pretty dangerous and should be kept away.
A big NO for me.. I do not think that consider a investment I never consider gambling as investment ofcourse because it is risky yes but more of that it is a easy money..and we have a saying that easy money easy to loose. this is more than a saying this is  a reality that gambling make you instant rich..but making you beggar in just a week or a month..maybe some were going to say it depends on how you manage your money..and that is also true..but what I am saying now is in general... when you spend your money to gambling just to double or triple it yes you can obtain it..but how long..??
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes Bitcoin different from alt coins? on: January 24, 2018, 03:45:18 AM
Its a one word that Bitcoin is the leading coin in the world cryptocurrency world. All coins price is depending or related to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is well-known cryptocurrency as we all know that ..and many people most used bitcoin ..we can buy something from it..we can exchange money from it we can trade through it we can invest through bitcoin. While Altcoin or Alternative currency is created to compete for bitcoin and to solve a once problem of bitcoin which is rapidly decreasing ..they come up to create alternative coins to solve this problem and they think that maybe altcoin can overrule bitcoin in the near of future..but still bitcoin is more powerful than altcoin why? Because you can not buy altcoin without bitcoin..you still need to buy bitcoin first before you get altcoin.
97  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin or Altcoins? Which is safer or more profitable? on: January 24, 2018, 12:17:37 AM
I think most of the altcoins need more gestation time before they can start producing. They need to produce more tangible results and then they'll gain some traction. I'm just speaking of them as a whole and not as one particular coin or token.
Bitcoin and Altcoin are actually both safe and profitable ..in different ways of course .there is positive and negative in each currency...since that bitcoin is more known cryptocurrency than any crypto..many are investing in bitcoin..but we all need to knoe that bitcoin is way of payment and purchase...and for Altcoin, use the blockchain technology and solves a lot of problems faced in the real world....example If you buy btc worth like 50 USD and invest it in altcoin..even btc went down your 50 USD that you invest in Altcoin will not be affected in the changes of btc..though that you should first buy bitcoin to get altcoin.. So which one is MORE profitable?? Well just this..when you invest in bitcoin..just invest the amount that you are ready to loose...but if you think btc.or altcoin..safer to invest is btc.but take note of this that if you invest in altcoin there is a tremendous  and quick growth but risky..so its all up to us if we take risk or just stay on our comfort zone..
98  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it risky to turn all my money to bitcoins? on: January 23, 2018, 10:44:14 PM
is it risky to turn all my money to bitcoins? anyhow this money sits in the bank and do nothing for!
Yes of course you need to limit your self  when it comes on buying bitcoin why? Whether you admit it or not bitcoin is not that secure as your banks account or treasured golds.. Turning all your money in bitcoin is just like spending money while you do not have a proper job.. You need to know that in just one (1) click of mistake all your bitcoin will be gone forever in your wallet ..I know that bitcoin is useful in much ways done cash..but the fact that there still need to improve some security issue in that maybe just maybe you can turn all your money in bitcoin..
99  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Are Your Greatest Fears As a Bitcoin Holder? on: January 22, 2018, 11:01:02 PM
When my country ban bitcoin and when bitcoin is impossible to be purchased for being too expensive sometimes i scare about how if my assets got hacked by hacker.
As I know myself for being so forgetfull in so many things including  the password of any social media accounts, wallet key and password even my credit debit card pin..I tend to forget all of it if I am not gonna use it for like a week .so my greatest fear as a a bitcoin holder is to loose my coins in just one (1) blink of an eye (which about to happen last month because I forgot my key code in my wallet  and I did not print it  ..so just thanks God and thanks to my emails..that I have back ups ...that is my greastest fear to ban bitcoin in my country becausw that will never happen..or bitcoin decrease because it will increase the other week or month..
100  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Will Change Everything on: January 22, 2018, 02:23:24 AM
it is possible that bitcoin will change everything not only bitcoin also other altcoins but it will take time.
definitely yes bitcoin will change ALMOST everything when it comes to making/earning digital money.. making instant job ..even helping others..we can also say that bitcoin is one (1) of our future ..because you do not need to pass your resume to every company just to get job no need of a degree just be open minded..you do not have to be smart just be strategic.. you do not have to be known just be simple.. you do not need to be graduate from well-known university ..you do not need experience just read and learn...see how simple and easy to get in on bitcoin..that is why we says that bitcoin is changing almost everything of every aspect of our lives..
