I recently read an article about what happened in Portugal after legalization of all drugs. The author claims that there were more positives than negatives. For example, the crime rate and deaths from overdose went down. But I am not sure whether this can be implemented in the third world nations.

An example of this is today's reality, for example, Muslim Iran is in strategic alliance with Christian countries Russia and Armenia against Muslim Azerbaijan.  On this issue, I will later post a topic for a more detailed examination of this circumstance.

The Russo-Iranian alliance is in no way against Azerbaijan. Even now, Russia is the top supplier of weapons to Azerbaijan. Iran and Russia, however differ in opinion about the direction of gas pipelines.

With the bitcoin market cap as high as it is now, the market will easily absorb it.

This. Anyone can dump 330 BTC at any time, this is a non issue. Back in the day this could have been a problem causing a dump. As far as the hack goes, im sure is yet another inside job where a guy working  takes the bitcoin from people and runs with the money. We really need decentralized exchanges to replace all this bullshit asap.

The amount is not BTC330. It is much more than that, and most probably in four digits. The article says several billion. Then how can you assume a figure of 1 billion Won (i.e. BTC330)?
8304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MOST COMMMON METHODS HACKERS AND SPAMMERS USE TO STEAL BITCOINS on: July 04, 2017, 04:38:25 PM
what way you found to stole 7.5 btc? you broke a computer or you stole it by hacking remotely someone? if you are not proud of it you should give back that money really, there was one case where someone got 50 btc from cryptsy, because of a bug in the withdrawals process and he returned them back, follow this example and do the right choice

Bitcoin sector is full of scammers and frauds. I am active here for the last many months, and I have seen all sorts of people. If you claim ethical high ground now, then you may regret later about the decision. Anyway, it is up to the individual choice.
8305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your plans with your Bitcoin? on: July 04, 2017, 04:29:18 PM
Till now I have earned around BTC0.018 from my signature campaigns. It is a very small amount and the signature payouts are quite low. I thought about converting some of my fiat to BTC, but didn't had the confidence to do that. Anyway, I will hold on to whatever coins I have for the next 2-3 years.
8306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the ticket to heaven ... on: July 04, 2017, 04:17:31 PM
If you are lucky, then Bitcoin can make you rich. Very very rich. And as far as I know, 99.99% of the things in the world can be purchased with money. Some philosophical losers will argue that there are a lot of things which you can't buy with money. But I disagree with them. As of now, for us Bitcoin users, BTC is the ticket to get rich, and therefore the ticket to heaven.
8307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: South Korea to Legalize Bitcoin!!!! on: July 04, 2017, 04:09:05 PM
I would believe this story when I see some official communication from the government of South Korea. "On the verge of legalizing" is not the same as "definitely legalizing". Nowadays, most of the crypto-coin news sites are after sensationalist stories, and they can twist the facts or hide some of them.
8308  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do You Think The War in Philippines. on: July 04, 2017, 04:03:11 PM
I don't know why you are having so much doubt regarding it. The ISIS has already accepted the Maute group as one of their factions and they have even sent foreign fighters (Arabs, Chechens.etc) to fight with the Maute group.

Well it seems that every country has different culture and this has affection to judicial authorities.Everyone could say burn or kill the victimizer.However the point is to heal the perverted people  and not simply punish them.This is the only way to prevent similar facts.

If someone commits a crime, then he must get the deserving punishment. Healing can happen after that. And you can't let the perverts go free in the public without any sort of punishment. They are very likely to repeat the offense.
8310  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you think of North Korea? on: July 04, 2017, 03:58:02 PM
I believe that North Korea has the right to defend its borders. The Americans must first pull back their forces from the Sea of Japan. The Yanks are causing a lot of provocations in that region.
8311  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan on: July 04, 2017, 03:56:38 PM
Muslims of various groups constant confrontation. I don't know the roots of this confrontation, but I think it has to do with religion. Islam is a militant religion that does not tolerate dissent and any different view of the world or customs necessarily end the war.

They are in the race to prove that they are the most devout Muslims. For one group, another may seems like heretics and this is the cause for constant confrontations (sometimes violent) between the various Muslim groups.
8312  Other / Off-topic / Re: punishment for rapists on: July 04, 2017, 03:53:26 PM
In India for the past few years there are many rape incidents happen and there are no safely young women in this country. The rapists are not even punished and are left freely. I do not know how will the victims lead their life after such incident has happen in their life. In some countries, the rapists are let off freely if they marry the victim. In some countries, the rapists are given death sentence.

According to you, what can be the best punishment for these rapists so that no one else should think of raping a women. I like the punishment which is given in most of the Muslim countries - hanged to death in public. Do you think that this is fair or they should marry the victim???

The problem is that in India, most of the policemen are corrupt and criminal-minded. I know cases in which policemen demanded sexual favors from rape victims, just to register their complaint. The police department is rotten to the core and is full of criminals and conmen.

If you ask about the ideal punishment for the rapists, then I would suggest physical castration, followed by daily flogging.

In terms of fiat, you don't need to do anything to double your money. Just hold your coins, and you will get more than double ROI in less than a year. I just hope that the SegWit implementation goes without any trouble. If that happens, then the exchange rates are going to explode.
8314  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: July 02, 2017, 10:55:29 AM
I will choose both, 60% invest to Bitcoin and Altcoin for long-term, 40% invest to Gold and see it as a saving money long-term, maybe come to end of life Grin
The reason I use more money to invest cryptocurrency because it have more potential now and can make a huge profit with 1-5 years. With Gold, Gold can growth but slow than Crypto because it stable and can't market fluctuations as crypto in present Smiley

Don't ignore the growth potential of gold. Somewhere I read that the gold prices can increase by as much as 4 times by 2020. The mine production of gold is in decline (due to the closure of mines in South Africa), and the demand is rising steadily thanks to Russia, China and India. I believe that gold is a very good candidate for long term investment.
8315  Economy / Economics / Re: If you have a lot of bitcoin, should you spend it or save it? on: July 02, 2017, 10:53:50 AM
If you have a lot of coins (more than BTC100), then I believe that there is no harm in spending a few of them. May be you should spend 10% or 20% and enjoy yourself by taking vacations to Maldives or Bali. Also, you can convert a part of the BTC holdings in to fiat and diversify your portfolio by investing in equities, real estate or bullion.
8316  Economy / Economics / Re: Consequences of mining pool controlled by a single country? on: July 02, 2017, 10:51:24 AM
I guess that you are indirectly mentioning about the Chinese. Apart from the unethical competition issues, the Chinese government is also famous for its intervention in all aspects of life. There is a real chance that the government will use the mining hash power to their own advantage. Right now I can't say how they will do it, but it is a possibility.
8317  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: July 02, 2017, 10:49:12 AM
No, bitcoin is just a decentralized peer to peer payment system in shortly. It is not for to solve poverty
I will disagree, it is not just a payment system but it is now a popular investment which everyone is trying to invest. And if you invested to bitcoin earlier when the price is still not that high then now you had almost 1000% percentage profit. So I believe it can end a family's poverty but the world is big and its hard to believe.

Maybe it can end up corruption. We all know that bitcoin is a decentralized peer to peer currency and it has its specification that can audit all the transactions you have. it is stored on the data base and cannot be faked.

It will make corruption untraceable. If someone bribes a government official using Bitcoins, it will be almost impossible to prosecute him. He may be using a fresh Bitcoin wallet, so the chances are low that the anti-corruption people will be able to link the wallet to his ID. Also, anyone with his BTC address can transfer the coins. So there is no proof that the official asked for the bribe.
8318  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: July 02, 2017, 10:47:17 AM
I dont see any reason for gold, its shiny but useless to the average person. Bitcoin on the other hand serves a real purpose and its a great investment.

To expound the ideas you are saying here, think choosing gold as an investment is not good for these days because it's value could not defeat bitcoin. Having that kind of precious material will not put you into safer side of life andnit may threaten your life due to it's visible to criminals who might rob you while wearing that kind of jewelry. Those crimimals will hunt your wealth like Gold and will definitely put a bad interests for you; knowing that will be sold expensive price. If we compare it with bitcoin, although it's volatile but if you have plenty of that you will remain anonymous and not visible to physical world of money

But it is essentially the same with Bitcoin as well

Personally, I tend to think that your words are in fact and practice even truer with respect to Bitcoin rather than gold. As a rule, gold investors are conservative ones, and they are unlikely to show off their wealth and kinda prefer to lead a low profile life, therefore criminals may have difficulties tracking down these gold owners. Apart from that, possession of gold is rumored to be well correlated with the possession of guns, so "come and take it". On the other hand, the Bitcoin nouveaux riches are likely to be trying to impress their neighbors with their new wealth that would certainly instigate a lot of interest from the criminals of all kinds and colors

I don't think that the Bitcoin millionaires like to show off any more than their Gold counterparts. I have been a member of this forum for a while, and I have never seen a BTC millionaire bragging about his BTC holdings. People don't even reveal how much coins they own.
8319  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why most products now are made in China? can we trust these products? on: July 02, 2017, 10:44:49 AM
It's definitely not a good thing.


It is not very surprising. The American manufacturers have to deal with all sort of regulations, minimum wage requirements, union agitations, pollution control, employee healthcare, affirmative action.etc. In China they don't have any of this.
8320  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russia is the most aggressive country on: July 02, 2017, 10:39:18 AM
The Americans have military bases all around the world and are frequently invading the third world nations. And still you claim that Russia is a country which indulges in aggression. What an irony? During the last 3 decades, I have heard about Russians getting militarily engaged in two foreign nations. The first is Georgia (in 2008), and the second is Ukraine (2014). And in both these cases, the fault was with the latter group of nations. Georgia attacked the Russian peace-keepers in South Ossetia, and Ukraine banned the Russian language.
