9061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin get the ability to implement reversible transactions? on: July 26, 2016, 05:58:03 AM
As of now, (and it has always been) Bitcoin transactions are irreversible meaning that there is no way to get them back (in case of a scam) unless the recipient decides to send those coins back to its original owner. (sort of like refunds)

But, I was thinking of the possibility that Bitcoin may get reversible transactions in the future, in order to prevent scams, fraud, etc. Do you think that such thing will ever exist or what would be the consequences?  Smiley

Unfortunately this is the future.With all those consumer rights legislation rules,every customer has the right to

get a refund,etc....All the sellers that use bitcoin as a payment method should implement a refund option,in

order to look legit and get more customers.

But irreversible transactions are a bitcoin advantage... Sad
9062  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase now supports Etherium; Is this a threat to Bitcoin dominance on: July 26, 2016, 05:53:30 AM
Coinbase have announced that they have started supporting Ethereum on their system, this is an excerpt from their Coinbase bloq 'We are pleased to announce that Coinbase is adding support for Ethereum. Consumers can now easily buy, sell, send, and store Ether in their Coinbase account. To get started, visit the “Trade” page on Coinbase.com or tap on “Buy” or “Sell” options in our iOS or Android apps".

I was just wondering whether this could be a threat to Bitcoin dominance. Your views

I wouldn`t say that this is a threat for bitcoin.

Coinbase ,like every company, wants to grow and gain more customers.

I think that it`s normal for them to expand further in the altcoin currency markets.

9063  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An Article Claims BIG Investors Now Buy the Bulk of BTC on: July 26, 2016, 05:49:54 AM
...

Author Chris Vermeulen (a gold guy, but, hey I am too) writes that China and big investors (the Winkelvoss twins have not gone away) represent the bulk of new BTC purchases.

http://www.24hgold.com/english/news-gold-silver-large-investors-become-major-buyers-of-bitcoin.aspx?article=8762349738H11690&redirect=false&contributor=Chris+Vermeulen

I guess that maybe some big sharks manipulate the bitcoin price to gain profit.

This isn`t a surprise for me.

Unfortunately the bitcoin community is still small and not growing fast.

9064  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do bitcoin accepted in your country? on: July 24, 2016, 05:28:14 AM
Hi, bitcoin users i am from the Philippines. Willing to know if bitcoin is accepted to in your country. Because right now i have used one service that allows me to pay online or shopping buy steam and load so i am wondering if bitcoin is being used or known in your country.    Huh Huh Huh Huh

Yes.I think  bitcoin is accepted in my country.

I don`t have problems spending or earning bitcoins.

Yes,Steam has a option to pay with bitcoins,but i don`t buy Steam games.

9065  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: July 23, 2016, 11:45:11 AM
the answer is obvious , if u never got into the

property cycle or dont have the uber high paying

job or welfare Queen status with Gov supplied housing

or lastly deal drugs,

u would hate Fiat to the  core!

the endless print cycle is a joke  Cheesy


Money are not a religion.I don`t have to "believe" in them.

People don`t have a choice and use fiat money.It doesn`t matter if they like it or not.

By the way,what is a "property cycle"?
9066  Other / Off-topic / Re: What % of your Assets is Bitcoin? on: July 23, 2016, 11:41:18 AM
So what percentage of your total monetary and financial investments are in Bitcoin?

What do you think is a smart balance to have?

Less then 10% of all my assets are in bitcoins.

I don`t want to keep all eggs in one backet. Grin

I invested some btc to fund a loan in btcjam,but the guy bankrupted. Angry
9067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pokemon GO and Bitcoin would be a killer combo on: July 23, 2016, 11:36:33 AM
I have been testing it out and it's still very stages but you can tell the game has huge potential if they add more stuff, like more complex battle system with turns instead of just tapping on the screen which is pretty dumb and so on.

But the great thing would be to get BTC instead of those coins. Also being able to buy stuff with BTC (you can already do with fiat but not BTC).

I hope that we can see BTC in games like this. Imagine the extra incentive of getting BTC and not only Pokemons.

Pokemon Go is a trend,a fashion.After a couple of month it will be forgotten.
 
I have an idea about a strategy mobile game,where you bet btc and play against the other player who bets 

the same amount of btc.The winner takes all.I can`t reveal my idea about the game here.

I`m searching for people that can help me with programming and developing the game.
9068  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why would customers use Bitcoins? on: July 23, 2016, 05:57:59 AM
I came to figure out, why would a consumer/customer use Bitcoins?
You have to pay the 3 cent fee, while you dont have to pay anything when paying with a credit card.

So what is really a benefit for using Bitcoins, customer wise?

You can`t compare credit cards with bitcoin.Using a credit card is like having a loan.

Bitcoin is your own money.Using btc is like using paypal.There is a fee for every transaction.

The bitcoin transaction fee is lower than the paypal fees.
9069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: July 23, 2016, 05:53:26 AM
Anyone bought drugs with bitcoin and what are you thought on the subject ?

i know i have used bitcoin to buy psilocybe cubensis thank you bitcoin i cold have not done this without you now i can trip watching corry & eastenders in the evening its such a sight.

I don`t use drugs and i will never buy drugs,and i will never use bitcoin for this.

Stay away from drugs or you will die young.

Fight with your addiction,dude. Sad
9070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: KickAss owner was using Coinbase as his bitcoin wallet!!!!! on: July 23, 2016, 05:50:22 AM
TL;DR; Feds pose as an advertised on KAT.CR and finally find the bank account associated with this torrent website and in the process Apple, Facebook, GoDaddy and coinbase helped in finding the owner that lead to his arrest.

Quote
More recent records show that an IP-address linked to KAT’s Facebook page was also used to access Vaulin’s Coinbase account, suggesting that the Bitcoin wallet also assisted in the investigation.

https://torrentfreak.com/can-kickasstorrents-make-a-comeback-160721/

the strangest part of this is using Coinbase as bitcoin wallet which i don't really get. WHY  Huh

I don`t see anything strange in this.

Internet piracy is illegal and and Coinbase is helping the authorities in their investigation.

Bitcoin being anonymous is one thing,but when it comes to breaking the law,bitcoin wallet platforms should

help the police. This is normal.
9071  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I grow my btc? on: July 22, 2016, 12:21:34 PM
Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the right place so please tell me if it is not. With that out of the way, I have a question for you all. I have recently been able to gather about .5 btc through minor trading and I was wondering if there was any method or way to grow this btc into a larger amount safely and fairly quickly. Thanks!

So you want to invest your bitcoins and get a  big profit 100% safely?

All the ponzi,hyip,etc...scammers are waiting for people like you.

There is no way to get a big and guaranteed profit,if anyone is promising this,he is most likely a scammer.
9072  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you always missed the right time to sell/buy bitcoin? on: July 22, 2016, 12:14:49 PM
Do you always missed the right time to sell or buy bitcoin?

Yes.I always sell my bitcoins before some big price increase. Angry

I`m not very good at trading and investing,i guess.

It is frustrating sometimes. Sad
9073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Bitcoin even have a future? on: July 22, 2016, 11:45:20 AM
Now that I've gotten your attention, I promise there's a method to my madness. We've all been arguing over Bitcoin XT and (now) Bitcoin Classic while ignoring that there's a real world outside of Bitcointalk and the endless schemes to get more Bitcoin. In the grand scheme of things, it's not even really all that important whether Bitcoin stands a chance of destroying traditional banks as long as Bitcoin or whatever replaces Bitcoin if it stumbles can carve out its own niche. But we're marching toward a world where things are going to be moving pretty fast in matters that don't necessarily have to do with economics and finances, except for maybe who's going to be holding the moneybags. Is it going to be us, or is it going to be the big banks, or is it going to be some Third World tyrant who may have gotten a little too big for his britches and doesn't have a graceful way out? What I'm getting at here is, are we absolutely sure we're making all the right strategic moves to make sure cryptocurrencies have a meaningful, sustainable future instead of just being seen as a funny little gimmick that went the way of Beanie Babies in a few decades? Should we be making alliances with other up-and-coming, innovative technologies to make sure we can achieve our long-term goals? This is something we'll have to consider if we want Bitcoin to have any kind of a future.

Yeah.Bitcoin has to stay competitive against all the other altcoins and the fiat money.

Bitcoin has to gain more advantages and become more popular and used by the people.

Our community is growing but it`s still small and vulnerable.

9074  Economy / Speculation / Re: Two weeks after the halving , price didn't get affected yet ? on: July 22, 2016, 11:39:48 AM
So how come that the halving block reward happened two weeks (almost) ago and the price still didn't place , there is no increase and It seem pretty stable ?


Obviously the halving doesn`t affect the bitcoin price.

The price went from 420$ to 770$ because of the chinese people who were buying lots of btc.

The chinese people stopped buying and the price isn`t going up now. Sad



9075  Economy / Economics / Re: How much money do you have left from your job? on: July 22, 2016, 05:46:40 AM
I want to talk about salaries. How much $ do you have left after paying taxes, rent, and basic expenses (electricity, water)
I get $10 000/y like a fucking slave
My spending basic is $5 000 / year, including food, $2 500 without food
I live in the former SSSR
Another reason to move away

Also they give me these communistic so called "benefits" when you get like prepaid cards for predefined services

https://www.facebook.com/televize.polar/videos/1047399295339540/

I don`t have a job,so i can`t tell you. Grin

When you move to the west,your salary might be bigger,but the prices are way higher.

Where in the former USSR do you live?

What are your plans(besides buying things)if bitcoin price skyrockets and makes you a millionaire in USD
Do you have plans such as starting a business? a restaurant?bar? making art,movies,fashion,etc? creating something?


When will the price  skyrocket?I don`t see any "skyrocket" increase.

If the price "skyrockets" i would trade all btc for fiat,because this will be another bubble.

After the bubble the price will go down and i will buy btc again.
9077  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: From 1 Bitcoin to 100 Bitcoins - what would you do then? on: July 22, 2016, 05:32:22 AM
When you would make with a altcoin for example from 1 Bitcoin 100 Bitcoins, what would you do then?

This would be right now about 65.000 Dollar.

1. Would you cash out everything?

2. Would you invest in 5 new icos with each 20 Bitcoins and hold long term (12 - 24 month) and hoping that some of that 5 icos will double your 20 Bitcoins again 10x or more times? = 500 or more Bitcoins

3. Would you invest in altcoins?


What is "icos"?I`ve never heard about this word.

I`m not very good at investing in altcoins.Maybe,i would retire.

65,000$ is a lot of money in my country.

Let`s pray that bitcoin wallets,casinos and exchange sites will continue to "respect your privacy".

This is very important for me. Smiley

Good luck with your business OP.
9079  Economy / Economics / Re: is bitcoin can be a fiat money? on: July 21, 2016, 12:33:19 PM
i think bitcoin has a potential to become a fiat money. because a lot of news regarding bitcoin is government will support the bitcoin. and as per description of fiat money. once it legalized by government, theres a possibility to be a fiat money. i cant wait to see using bitcoin coins to buy some goods in stores and market. and also a physical bank of bitcoins that we can withdraw and deposit. Smiley


heres the link of btc news according to coindesk: http://www.coindesk.com/presidential-candidate-hillary-clinton-pledges-support-blockchain-tech/

I`m not that optimistic.

Bitcoin is strong because it`s an alternative to fiat money.If bitcoins becomes the same as fiat money,

what`s the point?It will lose all the advantages that make this cryptocurrency  valuable .
9080  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Amazon.com still resisting the use of BTC for payment? on: July 21, 2016, 12:29:43 PM
Is it a business reason? Or perhaps the complexity of bitcoin accounting creating potential issues?

What do you think?

Perhaps it costs too much to adopt bitcoin as a payment method and the profit from that investment

for Amazon will be very small or even zero.

Maybe Amazon is too big and the bitcoin community is too small. Sad
