One thing is sure, Presidential elections this year in America are historic. America will get first female president or first non politician for president. I think that Trump will loose this elections because he talked to much, in very negative way, and his character and past ruined his chances to win. Hillary is not much better than Trump but at least she is more wise and know how to hide her shortcomings. It seems that eve some republican leaders gave up from Trump already.

price of BTC is still very low and still no so many people using Bitcoin. I feel that each day wee are closer to our ultimate goal- to become mainstream and online standard for payments. I'm sure that we will see it in the near future. After that, just sky will be limit for Bitcoin. Value of Bitcoin will raise a lot and many patient people in the bitcoin community will earn a lot. Bitcoin will change lives pf many people around the world, it's inevitably. Don't you think so?

Those stupid muslims! Irak is a war-torn country, with thousands fighting for their lives, while million others are struggling to make a living, and what is the iraki parliament doing? It just passed a law to make it illegal to sell, to make or to import any alcoholic beverage.
What a sense of priority!
It's normal thing in the Arabic, Muslim world. In their culture, it's prohibited to use alcohol. I'm surprise that they didn't do it before. Religious leaders are very powerful in that area, and they influence politicians a lot. Iraq is even more democratic and liberal country than Iran or Saudi Arabia, for example. In Saudi Arabia woman are even not allowed to drive cars!

In my opinion, we already passed WW III (cold war between USSR and USA 1945-1991) and now entering WW IV between Russia and West. It's obvious that Putin want to restore USSR, and become again main factor in international relationships. He is smart enough and will not use nuclear weapons but I'm not sure about North Korea. We live in very dangerous time now and conflicts in Ukraine, Crimea, Syria and Iraq, plus high tension in N. Korea and other parts of the globe, really can bring us to WW IV. If Trump win presidential elections in USA, there is no hope any more for the free world.

Bitcoin is decentralized, what is good for us, users, because nobody can control BTC. Unfortunately, we can't control who use Bitcoin and for what purpose, what is not ideal, of course. Just recently I heard in local news that police discover drug dealers. They paid for drugs with Bitcoin and this was big news in the media. Such things really doesn't help us much. Many financial institutions and governments oppose Bitcoin because it's anonymous and anyone can use it, even criminals. Some people will not accept Bitcoin because of such things. So, Bitcoin is great thing but also can be used for something very bad, unfortunately.

I can't say about others but Bitcoin really affects my life a lot. I collecting BTC funds in my wallet and waiting for the moment when Bitcoin will become mainstream and global payment standard. When this happens, BTC value will rise a lot and we will be rewarded for our patience and faith. Already now, I can buy things online, in secure and anonymous way and government or tax office can't control this part of my life ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It's great feeling really. Bitcoin gives us freedom, real freedom. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I don't think that Bitcoin can die in the near future. Our foundation is very strong at the moment. Of course, in Internet age, things are changing very fast and who can predict future, what may happen in 10, 20, 50 years? It's possible that some other virtual currency will become more popular but still many people will use Bitcoin, because of habit or other reason. Bitcoin will always have some value for its users.

I can't say for others but for me it's true. Bitcoin really changed my life a lot. Before I tried many things on Internet but failed every time. Now, finally, I feel that I joined the right club ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm collecting my Bitcoins day by day, enjoying to see how their values raise, step by step, and how more and more people and merchants accept BTC. In the near future I'm sure that we will enjoy benefits and have good profit from our BTC funds.

It's not difficult question, really. Purpose of life is to be happy. More complicate problem is how to achieve it. In my opinion, through fruitful personal life, happy family life and through achieving certain material standard in life. In Bible, it's called ''3 great blessings'', Gen 1.28.

So, what you want to say here? If blacks and woman prefer one political option, which you don't like, they shouldn't vote? What is next? Maybe woman and blacks are not smart enough to work, to have children, to think or make any decision in life? As I know, according to uS constitution, all citizens of America have equal rights, to go to school, to work, to vote etc. I don't think that you can change it.

ISIS have no mercy and don't respect human lives, they are brutal terrorists. If others allow it, they will kill many innocent people in Mosul and will try to make as many damage as possible. They are lunatics and must be stooped, for the sake of human civilization. Hopefully, they terror will end soon and Mosul is big and very important step toward it. It's good they didn't have time to prepare even more dangerous weapon.

EU just had general meeting about this issue and couldn't unite about one, strong resolution, and demand that Assad and Russia stop this brutal attacks. It seems, fro their official statement, that they are hoping that soon situation will be resolved and they kindly asking all sides i the conflict to be polite and don't fight any more. It's sad that EU can't unite any more about any important issue in the world. Russia and Assad know it and they are doing in Syria and Aleppo whatever they want, since America and eU became paper tigers.

Yes, I like it but still can't pay official bills, only staff i buy online. It will be great moment when we will be able to use Bitcoin to pay for water, electricity, phone etc. Can you imagine it? Or go to the local restaurant or store and pay with Bitcoin. Right now, I don't have much opportunity to spend Bitcoin so I keep it at my wallet.

I heard on the news that UK bank will reconsider this decision. It seems that Russia pushed strongly UK authorities and that they will change their decision. It's true that RT spread Russian propaganda in the UK but they still have right to open and have bank account in UK. If they didn't break UK law or if they are not criminals, obviously bank and UK government doesn't have foundation to close account with them.

Where no country has prospered citizens ?? Because many of the poor are getting poorer, the rich get richer, what's this all ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Who is responsible for everything ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) #A.mry ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) It seems like very simple question but answer is very complicate. Most people will judge government but they can't be responsible for everything. Our parents and families are also responsible for us. Our communities and relatives to. If they all fail, it's really difficult to succeed in life. Many young people don't have good examples around them. Many of them don't believe in hard work and education and wants fast success. Many of them end up as criminals. Can we blame government for everything? I don't think so. We also have our individual responsibility and can choose our life path.

It's really stupid to involve any politic here. Bitcoin is about freedom and equality. We should all work together to promote it as means that average people become financially free and get rid from banks. Nobody should use Bitcoin as weapon. It's against main idea behind Bitcoin.

Very simple, friend told me ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) In the beginning I didn't trust Bitcoin and didn't join. Than, my friend told me how much he earned with Bitcoin and I became curious and decided to check it out. Rest is history. I'm happy to be here and now really feel sorry that I didn't join before.

Why in this world there is always a war?.... Until when they like it?.... Is there still no peace for our children and grandchildren in the future?.... What is your opinion?.... #Greeting the spirit and flavor of #A.mry ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) I also wonder when the wars will be end. but many people hate each other or want to make money from the war or want to have vaster area, so that's why there are wars. we really miss peace in this world for now and the future of our children. Why in this world there is always a war? Well, answer is obvious, isn't it? If people can't or don't know how to solve their issues peacefully, war is next available solution. It's sad reality, of course but nothing se can do about it now. In fact, we have wars every days in our homes, in the streets, communities, schools etc. so it's natural that countries can't be different.

I read news about it and don't think that answer is so simple. Russia used RT to spread negative propaganda about the West politics and to glorify Russian policy around the world. Bank is independent institution and such thing can ruin their reputation. It's normal that bank had to protect their reputation and get rid from RT. They are free to open bank account in Russia, so I don't see problem here.

In short term, one year or a few years I don't think so. In the long term, let's say 10, 20 or 50 years, we can't know what may happen. Things are changing very fast in Internet age and we have to adapt. Right now, I'm sure that Bitcoin is number one cryptocurrency but nobody can predict the future. Still, even if some other cryptocurrency become more popular than Bitcoin, I'm sure that still a lot people will use Bitcoin and will notz stop to do it overnight. It's like in the real world, where US dollar is number one currency, but other currencies, like Euro, GBP and other are also popular and used a lot.
