The Fiat Digital Currency is in developing in China by Central Bank.

http://www.bitbh.com/new/detail/4551  Steadily push forward The legal Digital Currency

http://www.bitbh.com/new/detail/4555  Anti-corruption  With Blockchain Tech

The Bitcoin price has been pumped up to 5400CNY  after these news realeased.   Grin




If it receives a legal tender status, many people in China will dump BTC for it.

As far as it being Centralized,
every rational person knows that BTC has already been Centralized to Chinese mining pools for over a year.
I don't think so,and most of the Chinese communities have the same idea with me.
For the Fiat digital currency will help Bitcoin promoting better and faster.As we all know,Bitcoin is not illegal in China.

There were the same news about Sweden and now China.

Maybe the central bankers are going to hit bitcoin with fiatcoins very soon.

And how the fiat currency will help bitcoin "promoting better and faster"?
8582  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price hits $100 000 in 2017 on: November 19, 2016, 06:18:30 AM
Let's say something happens in 2017 and Bitcoin's price per bitcoin reach $100 000 per bitcoin, what would you do first? I know most people

would sell at that price, but who would do the buying? Security will have to be your first concern, because at that price... Bitcoin will garner a

lot of attention from hackers and scammers.

Would Bitcoin reach a price, where it is simply not economically viable to buy it... { even if you buy only a few Satoshi's }

A lot of people {those who did not do their research} seem to think, bitcoins can only be bought as a whole unit.. 1 bitcoin at a time. I think,

as the price rise, we should emphasize the fact that you can buy fractions of a bitcoin. Some of my friends thought you can only buy whole

bitcoins, and they only started buying, when I explained it to them. We have our work cut out for us, when Bitcoin reach higher price

brackets.  Grin



If this is a stable growth,there`s no problem for people to buy at that price.

If this is a speculation bubble,nobody will buy because this will be a 100% loss,when the price collapse.

We need to fight with scammers and hackers and make bitcoin even more secure.
8583  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The grandpa challenge! on: November 18, 2016, 01:01:31 PM
Hi guys,

Something I struggle with at the moment using bitcoins:

The grandpa challenge:
* I live in Norway. I use bitcoin.
* Grandpa (in-law) is from the U.S. He lives in Italy.
* Grandpa can't speak Italian and it's a LOT of hassle paying me (I prepaid a vacation) from an U.S bank via Italy to a Norwegian bank.
* Grandpa has never used an app and doesn't have the phone for it. Very low understanding of technology, but uses the internet for basic stuff like shopping, email, ..

How can Grandpa pay LCF4EV (me) in bitcoin?  

It must be easy.

Thanks.



It must be easy,but unfortunately it`s not.

I assume your grandpa doesn`t have any bitcoins to pay you.

He needs to buy btc from localbitcoins or purse.io(using amazon) and he needs to watch out for all the

scammers out there.
8584  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 16,000,000 BTC will have been mined in a few days on: November 18, 2016, 12:58:14 PM
In 4 or 5 days, a total of 16,000,000 BTC will be in circulation (76.2% of the total). Let's not forget that fewer and fewer BTC will be mined each day with every halving, so these milestones will get rarer and rarer. Next one will be reached in 1.5 years.

Congratulations to all the bitcoin users about this event.

Bitcoin has lots of free space to grow in both supply and demand.

I will be here after 1.5 years. Grin

8585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin Friendly Countries on: November 18, 2016, 12:54:32 PM
Which country has most number of bitcoin users, miners and vendors? And in which country bitcoin is accepted the most? Like in at institutes or super malls or stores etc.
Has such data been calculated and available on the world wide web?

USA has the largest number of bitcoin users for sure.

I`m not sure that USA is very bitcoin friendly. Sad

China dominates btc mining off course...
8586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: November 18, 2016, 06:51:59 AM
Hello Guys, I would like to know you're understanding about online gambling and real life gambling. Since here in the philippines online gambling is now illegal. I'm just curious what's the difference about this too. Why make online gambling illegal?

I prefer online gambling,because i hate going to casinos.

It`s more convenient and the stress is lower.

It doesn`t matter the type of gambling,the casino always win. Grin
8587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the most profitable type of gambling? on: November 18, 2016, 06:47:46 AM
I'm not much of a gambler myself, but when I gamble I play poker. Poker can be very profitable, but it is very time consuming as well. Betting and casinos,  are not my type. so, what's your opinion on what could be more profitable?

I prefer poker over other games too.

In the other games you rely on luck.With poker you have to think and have a strategy.

Poker is really time consuming and can be very boring sometimes.

Sweden Begins Planning Transition From Cash To Digital Currency

Quote
As Reuters writes, the RIksbank could become the first major central bank in the world to create its own virtual money as the use of cash declines, Deputy Governor Cecilia Skingsley said on Wednesday.

Quote
The major difference between digital and paper currency is that every single transaction is logged, and the value of money can be remotely "adjusted", making it impossible to use cash as a value-preserving alternative to negative interest rates.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-17/sweden-begins-planning-transition-cash-digital-currency

As I predicted, as countries move from cash to crypto :

1) It will not be bitcoin
2) It will be state controlled
3) No interest paid
4) Every transaction you make will be fully trackable

5) When implemented a bitcoin ban in that country will soon follow **we will have to wait and see on this prediction Wink **

A government and bankers wet dream - full control over all your wealth, good luck in future banker bailouts.

Remember all those bank runs in Greece and Cyprus when people got wind of the hair cut that was coming, what are you going to do when cash no longer exists to withdraw and they impose a minimal spending limit on your account.

This is the dark future,i guess.

Let`s see if this will become true and will this experiment work.

This might work in Sweden,but won`t work in other countries,i quess.
8589  Other / Off-topic / Re: Forex or Bitcoin on: November 17, 2016, 02:36:18 PM
Alot of people find Forex risky as opposed to bitcoin.

Created a thread to see why people think money cannot be made on forex when traders are making thousands daily on forex.

Bitcoin is great to but it's more of a investment than a trade.



You can`t compare bitcoin with forex.

With bitcoin you just buy btc and wait for price increase.I`m not talking about all the "investment" scams.

With forex you have to trade daily.
8590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best way of making transaction on: November 17, 2016, 02:32:46 PM
I am selling my goods into various buyers. Yet, some buyers do not pay once they received the goods. So what is the best do you think should I do in making transaction. I don't want to lose costumers but I don't want to lose my money too.

Do you use bitcoin or some other payment method?

Use escrows,if you trade goods for bitcoin.This lowers the risk,but can`t remove it completely.
8591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there new people coming to Bitcoin? on: November 17, 2016, 02:30:33 PM
So just curious.  I know its almost impossible to tell how many people are actually using Bitcoin in the entire world. Maybe this might be a forum moderator question as well I suppose.  Are new people actively joining this Forum?  Are new people actually coming on to Bitcoin.  I have talked with several of my friends about it and had a couple of them even bite for a bit, but they quickly forget about it and they move on.  I guess I am just curious if Bitcoin trend is growing still or if it is more stable, or at a standstill.

Thoughts?

Yes,new people are joining the bitcoin community every day,but they aren`t that much.

Lots of bticointalk users have multiple accounts here so we can`t know the exact number of active forum

members.It`s even more difficult to know the number of people who use btc.
8592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interest in Bitcoin just skyrocketed in India on: November 17, 2016, 07:30:47 AM
Following last week's ban on the highest notes in India, interest in Btc has literally skyrocketed, reaching new ATH.

Wow.I wanna travel to India and sell my bitcoins there. Grin

Bitcoin needs adoption from the indians,India is a huge and growing economy.

People are saying that trading bitcoins in India is more difficult because of some regulations.

I hope that this problem will be solved.
8593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi and Bitcoin value on: November 17, 2016, 07:27:10 AM
Satoshi for me looks like Banksy, an artist that don't show your face and maybe this increase their art "value", so Satoshi can be here working with other alias... so let's go to the question:

What could happen if Satoshi appears?
If he start to appearing on media and things like that, can pump the coin?
If he's an criminal or something like that, it can dump the coin?

If Satoshi appears,many people will say "This isn`t the real Satoshi,it`s an imposter".

I think that Satoshi actually appeared in the news before 6 months.

Nobody believed that this is the real Satoshi.... Grin
8594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why you mostly like bitcoin compare to other digital currency? on: November 17, 2016, 07:23:06 AM
i heard many Cryptocurrency but why people mostly use bitcoin?


Because bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency and has the biggest community.

Most of the newly created altcoins aren`t very legit and trusted.

Some altcoin creators are just creating new ponzi schemes.
8595  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: EBay and Bitcoin on: November 16, 2016, 12:42:44 PM
For a long time I have been reading that it's China who controls the Bitcoins market. 60-80% of sellers on eBay are from China. So my question is why don't they accept payments in Bitcoin and why they insist on the paypal only? Shouldn't they be changing according to times? Or they can't change due to regulations?

Most of the eBay sellers just buy goods form China and sell them on eBay.

I`m not sure that 60% of them are chinese.

They "insist to paypal only" because eBay owns Paypal. 
8596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How if everyone cheat the Blockchain? on: November 16, 2016, 12:38:52 PM
I know that if just 1 people do it, it won't possible because the miner will check the transaction.
But how if everyone tries to do it, I mean like how if they add all of the Bitcoin address a 1 Bitcoin. Would the miner think that those are valid transactions because all the ledger have those transactions in it?

It`s impossible  "everyone" to cheat the blockchain.

I don`t know why are you asking this?

It`s a pointless hypothesis.
8597  Other / Off-topic / Re: How did you discover bitcoin? on: November 16, 2016, 07:16:46 AM
I was wondering how'd you discover or know about bitcoin? Did someone refer you? Did someone show you what you did? Through the news? Share something here.  Cheesy

There are older threads asking the same question.

Read and post there.

I discovered bitcoin three years ago while watching the news.Back in 2013 there was the bitcoin boom (1200$

btc price) and bticoin appeared in the news.
8598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin woke up the Giants on: November 16, 2016, 07:13:38 AM
Bitcoin has not just brought us a decentralized P2P payment system or a alternative for the banks. It woke the Giants in the Fintech world. Before Bitcoin, clients at banks were treated as the scum of the earth, even more so, when you are middle class or poor.

Bitcoin came in and they threatened to disrupt the Banking and Remittance services. What happen? These financial services realized that they will lose money, and they suddenly dumped Billions of dollars into Blockchain based technologies and also user-friendly banking services with 24 hour access via Social media platforms like Facebook Messenger and WeChat and some of their own in-house apps.  

We have not seen this level of attention given to clients for many years. Why, because the Giants were comfortable with their foot on our neck. They had the monopoly, backed by governments.

We should support Bitcoin to keep these Giants on their toes. If Bitcoin fails, these Giants will go back to sleep and we will be stuck with high fees and poor service.

I don`t think that the banks improved their service because of bitcoin.

They improved their services because they compete against each other and want to get more customers.

I don`t think that most of the banks see bitcoin as a major competitor.
8599  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying House with bitcoin from USA on: November 16, 2016, 07:09:55 AM
Can a foreigner buy a house in USA with bitcoins?

I am aware of that the foreigners can buy a house from USA and there isn't any restrictions. But how about bitcoins?

I know if the seller accepts it there won't be a problem but how about the government? Are they ok with that?

Normally, FED controls/monitors every USD transaction all around the world and they check if the money is clean (legally obtained) or dirty (terrorism, tax evasion, drug dealing etc) . Especially if you send the money to USA. Since they won't be able to control bitcoin transactions, how would they know if you are a drug dealer or a legal citizen in your country? Or do they  even care?

Yes, a foreigner can buy a house in the USA with bitcoin,if the seller agrees to use bitcoin.

But you will have convert some of the bitcoins into fiat to pay for some transaction fees and taxes.

You will have to proove the origin of the bitcoins,i guess.
8600  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coindesk is now a pure trash propaganda outlet and must be destroyed on: November 15, 2016, 12:32:32 PM
http://www.coindesk.com/will-bitcoin-have-its-moment-in-the-trump-era/

The propaganda in the above article includes:

- Suggestion that we use cryptocurrency as world reserve currency, but then does a bait and switch and says, oh but not Bitcoin (likely a federated chain run by the state or central bankers) HAHA

- Mentions the Federal Reserve not only in a positive light, but that they should have dictatorial power over the monetary system to operate a debt based scam currency and anyone who opposes them is bad or unreasonable

- Mentions the IMF and World bank in a positive manner when they're just malevolent institutions like the fed

- Writer dismisses metals as useful (gold/silver).  Bankers despise serfs using metals because gold and silver circulated in native form as coins are the only known sound monetary systems.  Gold "backed" currency is useless because it's essentialy the same thing as fiat in practice.  

- Affiliation with MIT (where chain anchor came from to turn Bitcoin into a permissioned ledger run by the state)

- Writer is against letting nations control their borders.  Another red flag.  Bankers and shills like Soros are trying to flood every 1st world nation with 3rd world immigrants because only a homogenous population like Iceland can unite to throw the bankers out.  If you flood a nation with 3-4 warring factions, it's a divide and conquer strategy to keep them enslaved.

- Writer is against people who want to withdraw from globalization and forced entanglements, which the US founding fathers explicity warned against.  Calls anyone that doesn't want to have endless wars for foreign entities "isolationist"

- Writer pulls the race card when anyone that has a basic understanding of sociology knows multicultural civilizations are far more likely to collapse than homogenous ones like Japan or China.  Trying to force "diversity" onto civilizations is always a divide and conquer strategy for someone else's benefit (usually the central bankers to weaken the cohesion of society to prevent being overthrown)

- Demonizes Russia for no reason (we all know the real reason - threw out Soros and refused to bow down to the bankers)

- So, in summary, Coindesk puts out propaganda directly from Federal Reserve central banking shills now.

- Also, never trust anyone as far as you can throw them that claims Cryptocurency is a superior store of value to metals.  Cryptocurrency has uses, but it will never be a superior store of value.  You need to destroy the entire planet to black swan metals, while cryptocurrency is much easier to hijack or destroy.  Metals will always be the base of Exter's pyramid and there is no possible way for cryptocurrency to replace it.  The price of Bitcoin can still go up like 100x, but if the market cap of metals is not larger than crypto, you're in an irrational market and things are going to implode.



The idea to use cryptocurrency as a world reserve currecny is really stupid.

Cryptocurrencies are just a bunch of programming code.

Anyway,i agree that 99% of what they write is propaganda.
