The bible claims there are streets paved with gold in heaven
Why?
Gold is a soft/malleable metal... you wouldn't be able to drive anything heavy on gold roads
Angels can fly right? Why do angels need roads at all? Can't angels teleport or whatever?
Perhaps sapphire, or diamond, or unobtanium... but why gold?
Is it because the people who wrote the bible thought gold streets would be tempting to a desert dwelling tribe?
What is written in the Bible we often can't interpreted literally, but symbolically. So, gold can be symbol for something else, like goodness or ''golden'' hearth. It means that we can't enter Heaven and freely walk there if we don't have hearth of gold. Any way, Heaven is spiritual place, not physical and we will not find any material thing there. |

Yes, I regret that I didn't join right away. A few years ago, when bitcoin was only $200 I was very skeptic and didn't trust bitcoin much. When I see now btc price I'm really sorry that I didn't collect cheap bitcon when I had opportunity. Any way, I can't change the past but still can prepare for the future  |

Purpose of life is very simple, to be happy.
Much more difficult question is how to be happy.
Can money help us to be happy? Job, wealth, family, power etc?
In my opinion, truly happy and blessed people are simple people, with simple life, which can enjoy in small, simple things, have great families and friends etc.

God in not male or female. God hasn't penis or a vagina. I think God is not identified by gender. God hadn't descendant. I think if we think like about this its so much vice. God is spiritual.
We look God from our limited, physical reality. God is almighty, omnipresent spiritual being and exist out of space and time. In fact, He created space and time, universe and our world. But, in Bible, in the Genesis, we can read that God created everything, including man and women, according to his image. All living beings are created in the pairs, so obviously God also have such characteristics in his being but we can't compare our physical bodies with God. God exist beyond time and space and don't have physical body. |

I don't think so, really. Instant means right away and it's impossible. Instant profit you can get in lottery, in casino etc. but with bitcoin only in the long run. For example, the people who invested in bitcoin 3-4 years ago, just now reached higher profits. If they was smart enough to buy or collect more btc funds before, now they can enjoy their new wealth So, 3, 4 or 5 years is not instant, in my opinion. |

In the beginning, my friends mostly was skeptic and didn't want to invest in bitcoin. Later, they became more interested when they heard my experience with bitcoin. Now, when btc price jumped to the sky, we are talking about bitcoin all the time Of course, some people are generally afraid to do anything on Internet, even use CC to buy something or try Internet banking. I don't waste time on them. |

It's simple, really.
Before war in my country, I had material wealth but wasn't happy.
In the war my family lost everything.
But, it was blessing, in some way because I started to search for the real purpose of life.
Now, I understand that real happiness and joy comes with true love, family, wife, kids, close friends, health etc. not with money.
Money is just tool to achieve something in life, not final goal.

Money is one of our most important part in our life and we all work for money. I accept that money can buy a house, car, dresses and all things which we need in our day today life. But can money bring us true happiness??? A small incident which is making me feel if Money is the only thing we need in life. One of my cousin is married and have 2 kids and the younger one is just a year old. They are planning to leave their kids with their parents and go to a foreign country to earn more money. I cant imagine if both of them can be happy without seeing their kids or money has made them to take this decision. Do you think its a right decision?  Also,Why is money so important in our life? They just sacrifice their happiness for their children's future, It just proves that money can't really buy anything that we want sometimes even if you have a lot of money you could still feel lonely. I think that they sacrifice much more, their relationship with children because they will separate from their own kids. Do you think that anybody can replace parents? Money will help children financially, of course, but on the way they will loose much more, the opportunity to grow up with parents, to receive directly parental love etc. Emotionally they will loose more than money can give them back. |

wow, so in this year of our Lord 2017 we still have people that are this jobless, you mustn't really open a thread you know . I can't believe I actually took my time to read that.
But wait, this is some form of joke right?
No! I had this vision today! I'm shocked by this! I believe you that you had some kind of vision but you should think more deeply about meaning of this dream. We can't interpret our dreams and vision too literally as real events. Many of these visions symbolize our subconscious or daily events. Please, relax and try to figure out real meaning behind your vision. |

I'm just trying to think about this logically
According to the bible, the first thing god does after creating Adam is find/create him a spouse/companion (in both Genesis creation stories, though how he creates the woman is different)
Everyone needs companionship, even gods...
Would there be any reason the first god wouldn't create additional gods?
1) Everyone needs companions
2) Everyone likes to show off their creations
3) Solitary confinement is bad (even for gods)
The only way a one god theory makes sense is if the one god killed all the other gods, highlander style
God created everything in pairs, male and female, because He personally represents harmonized masculinity and femininity, which harmoniously exist in himself. It was said that God created everything on his image, male and female, in pairs. When you read the Bible you see that God sometimes shows his feminine characteristics, like gentleness and love, and sometimes male nature, anger,... |

In short-term gold is perhaps a better option, because of its stability and popularity but, in the long term, bitcoin have much greater investment potential and can bring much better profit to everybody.
It's obvious for me already some time.
In the future, when bitcoin become mainstream and much more popular, with many more users, its price will jump to the sky and help us a lot financially.

For me bitcoin is ''life time'' investment, my chance for financial security and a better future.
I tried many different things in my life like HYIP, trading, Forex, even started own business but everything went wrong and failed.
Bitcoin is my ''last chance'' to succeed on Internet and I will not miss it.
So, I will keep all btc funds in my wallet for future purpose, as my life saving.

Love exists between family but if you are hoping to get love from outside in terms of girls then you will never get anything as they would be interested only in your money and if you don't have money it will take no time for them to leave you and start going around with guys who have lots of money.
Are you from America? To answer the original question. yes it does seem to be that way. The solution to this issue may be simple, but people aren't anywhere near to finding it. Women have always been attracted to Money, wealth and Power, and I don't think that is about to change any time soon. Gives them a feel that they are secure and safe in life. I think that money and wealth is important to both man and women. We have to understand that money and wealth are only foundation for our lives, means to achieve something and not the purpose or ultimate goal of our lives. So, money itself can't make you happy but can help you to achieve happiness. Love and happiness is possible to find only in family. |

In my opinion, praying is just another way to run away from the problems without resolving them. Someone who prays believe that the "god" will solve the issue for him, rather than he putting some effort in that direction.
I don't pray. But I have the suspicion that praying was never intended as a "fix my problems" type of thing, and more as a means to get people to subconsciously steer their lives into the direction that they want to move towards. If you constantly focus on what you want, you will base your life around that even without realizing what you're doing. Praying is one way to achieve this for those that run through life mostly unconscious. I do believe that "prophets" and what not actually understood how reality and humans work, but needed a specific way to communicate it to them to make sure that it would be followed. Unfortunately a lot of greedy shitheads realized that it could be used to manipulate people as well, so religion went down a bad road. There are a lot of very valuable lessons to be found in any religion though, even if you don't believe in God. I agree with you. Prayer is kind of internal reflection, communication with inner self. It can help us to focus on real issues in our lives and to realize priorities. Many times, after such internal talks, inspiration comes, or answers to our problems. |

It's very simple, really. I think that for the most people bitcoin is life time investment. They are buying or collecting their btc funds with hope that btc price will continue to rise and reach even higher levels than now. If such scenario happens, many people will make nice profits with bitcoin. For the most people, it's worth to wait for something like this |

Interesting idea but we should first consider who is our target?
If our target are young people between 16-30, than TV is bad idea.
Such people we can find in social medias, whatsapp, Viber etc. but definitely not TV.
They don't watch movies on TV any more but on different Internet services.

You all forget that you have other options here.
You don't need to withdraw funds from Betcoin.ag account and can just wait to see what happens after Aug 1.
Other option is to choose different crypto currency in your betcoin.ag account, , Etherum or Litecoin, and withdraw your earned funds like Etherum or Litecoin, not as bitcoin.

There is no God. In this life all that I have obliged myself and my parents. Only absolute fools can thank God for the birth. From my point of view, it is even betrayal and disrespect to their parents when people go to Church or mosque, but if they forget to call their parents.
I don't think so. You should respect your parents, of course, but also their parents as well, your grandparents, and grandparent's parents and so on, all your ancestors. But, you don't have only physical parents but also spiritual parent. Physical parents gave you physical body but spiritual parent gave you spiritual body, your eternal soul. So,we have to be grateful and show respect to both parents. |

It’s hard being a criminal. Surveillance techniques and forensic science are constantly being improved and people are working full-time to destroy your livelihood. That’s why many criminals around the world probably celebrated when the cryptocurrency bitcoin was launched back in 2009. With untraceable internet currency, crooks could finally enjoy the anonymity of cash without risking being caught red-handed out in the physical world. This beautifully idyllic criminal vision could have been the future, if it wasn’t for the damn meddling Danes. It seems unlikely that bitcoin is the future of crime after Berlingske reported that the Danish police brought down drug traffickers by tracing bitcoin transactions. In January this year, courts in the Danish city Herning, found the defendant in a narcotics case guilty and sentenced him to eight years of prison due to traced bitcoin transactions. This is the second case in Denmark where bitcoin-tracing evidence has played a major role in the trial. Denmark police first in the world hunt down criminals using bitcoin. Kim Aarenstrup, the head of Denmark’s National Cybercrime Center (NC3), said in an interview with Berlingske that these two convictions prove that Denmark is currently leading the way in cyberpolicing and that this new technology is a major milestone for police work. We are pretty much unique in the world at this moment, because nobody else has been able to use this type of trace as evidence before. Everybody is looking towards Denmark in this field, and we are in close dialog with several other countries at the moment, so that we can further develop the methods and teach them how we operate. The new specialized IT-system, developed by Danish law enforcement agencies, is based on comparing the information of two different types of bitcoin transactions. First, transactions where bitcoins are used to purchase goods are analyzed by exploiting the possibilities of blockchain technology, which bitcoin is based on. This information is then compared with listings of bitcoin-buyers and bitcoin-sellers. The comparison is then used to identify the people involved in particular dealings. Aarenstrup didn’t want to go into specifics of how far-reaching this new method is, but one can imagine that it must be substantial since the FBI and Europol are already using the system. Changed world for criminals Jesper Klyve was the prosecutor in both cases where a bitcoin-trace was one of the main evidences. In his opinion there is nothing wrong with bitcoin as a currency and that people who use it are not automatically entangled in illegal activities, but that one cannot deny the fact that it makes illegal dealings easier. Klyve says that in the past, a person had to have the necessary contacts to buy drugs, but this has completely changed with the introduction of the dark web and bitcoin. Now almost anybody can go online and buy a kilo of amphetamine and pay for it with a cryptocurrency. However, this might all change due to police’s new bitcoin-tool and Klyve is optimistic that it will provide interesting possibilities. It is common that drug deals made on the dark web are sent by regular mail — like in the first case bitcoin-tracing was employed in Denmark — which can make it considerably harder for the police to bust criminals. But Klyve is certain that this new technology will completely change that. Now, if a suspect receives drugs by post — which he denies he ordered — the police can go over his bitcoin transaction history and see whether he has sent bitcoins to anyone recently. “All transfers that have ever been made are coded into the bitcoin-system. Therefore, you can at any given time log in and search in the system and try to identify individual users,” said Klyve in an interview with Berlingske. It has been pointed out before that bitcoin is probably less beneficial to criminals than originally thought, but the two verdicts in Denmark are a clear indicator that cyberspace isn’t safe from the long arm of the law. Perhaps, it is finally time for criminals to find a new livelihood. Source: https://thenextweb.com/eu/2017/02/21/danish-police-hunt-down-criminals-using-bitcoin/#.tnw_02bBrjobI think that only criminals should be afraid. It was just matter of time when someone will start such activity and try to find criminals using bitcoin. Bitcoin is very specific, anonymous and decentralized. Police can't simple contact owner or some bank because there is no central bank behind bitcoin, or owner. |
