Do you have any thoughts on it, or are you just reposting breaking news from other websites? I don't know who is good and who is bad in Turkey any more. The government went after the Kurds instead of ISIS, the Kurds have decided to retaliate. It's very vicious and there are better places they could be attacking. You don't want to start a civil war when there is already a nasty war taking place next door.
You don't know situation in Turkey and relations with kurds. Government doesn't go after kurds but terrorist oganisation who claims fighting and killing in name of kurds. Turkey has several troubling terrorist groups and government fights them. There are those terrorist groups behind bombings. They bomb and kill for money, not for an idea.
They also kill kurdish people in Southeastern Turkey. They bomb schools, hospitals, bridges, mosques. Weeks ago, that terrorist group bombed a nursery, did you know?
Kurds are Turkey's good citizens and government has no problem with kurdish people in Turkey

Not sure about it.
I heard many reports from Turkey that Kurdish language, culture, schools are not allowed, and that Kurds living as second class citizens in Turkey.
It seems also that Turkish army is more concerned about Kurds soldiers in Iraq and Syria and how to stop them than to fight with ISIS and stop this terrorist group.
It seems also Turkey became very radical Islamic state under Erdogan, in the last decade, leaving secular tradition from before.

Only could catch a small bit of info on the attacks. Do you think it was in response to the arest of the paris attacker.

No.
They have simple plan, to do as many terrorist attacks as they can and to kill as many innocent people they can.
They want to scare average people in Europe and spread chaos and fear.
I'm afraid that this is just the beginning and that ISIS already have many more terrorist cells in Europe, ready for new attacks.

I think bitcoin has found its place as a niche product. People who have use for it will use it, but I'm sure that's just a small percentage of the people.
With the die out of the faucets, growth won't increase as much as it did in the past. I'n my opinion bitcoins are stuck at the moment.
Not sure what halfing and other technical developements will bring.

I'm still optimistic about future of Bitcoin
We have to promote Bitcoin to the public much more now and also should educate people about benefits of using Bitcoin.
It will be slow process, of course, but there is no other way.
We should see long term goal here and must be patient.
Bitcoin is real revolution in money and finance and soon or later people will understand it.
People which wants to make quick profit should try something else.
9484  Economy / Speculation / Re: How can we make bitcoin's price only RISE and never FALL? on: March 23, 2016, 04:57:59 PM
I've been noticing the price usually periodically dropping. The price doesn't exactly drop significantly. Just enough to make people stressed and rather worried. I have always been in a position in which the price's increase has indeed always been a reward for people who truly believe in Bitcoin and care for its well being. It can be rather worrisome when you've placed $400 worth of BTC in your wallet for price increases, then the next day you find that you've lost about $50. Sure it's not a huge number but it's a number nonetheless.


What can we do to make it only rise and never fall? I have been meaning to have this question answered.

It's simple question but there is no simple answer.
It's simple math. If more people buying price will go up.
If more people sell, price will go down.
The same rules as in the real market.
What can we do to make it only rise and never fall?
It's impossible, sorry about that.
Only what we can do is to promote Bitcoin to the public and merchants, as much as we can.
We should also educate people about benefits of using BTC.
When enough people start using bitcoin, merchants will also start accepting BTC and eventually we will become mainstream.
When this happens, BTC price will raise a lot and bring substantial profit to us Smiley

There is no "best religion". They are just different, thats all.
Agreed, God didnt said man to have religion to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Man invented Religion, misunderstanding and abuse of power lead to false truth.

People doesn't need religion, what we need is relationship with God.

Because people know so little about God, factually, they need religion to present God to themselves in ways they understand.


In fact, people don't know almost nothing about God, purpose of life, creation of Universe, spiritual world etc.
Science can't give us this answers, only God can.
Because we are not mature enough, and divided because of different races, nationalities, cultures, traditions etc.
God didn't have other choice but to work with each group of people separately, according to their own understanding and maturity.
So, because of this, we have so many religions and faiths today, not because there are a lot gods.
God is only one.
So, because we have one, common Heavenly Father, our Creator, we are all his children and between us brothers and sisters, part of one universal family.
As soon as we realize it, it will be better for us.
There are no real reason for fighting and conflicts in the world, once we realize that we all belong to one global family.

That's just silly and ignorant...

The gods of various religions have almost nothing in common... they cannot be the same person...

How would you explain Hinduism?  Multiple gods?  Elephant god?  Blue god?  6-arm god?  You think that's the same God that you believe in?!?

Almost all religions teach the same things:
- We are created beings
- There are God or some higher being in Heaven
- Once people lived in Heaven or Paradise but fall
- Story about Big Flood
- Teach about absolute values, ethics and moral
- Teach about spiritual values
- Teach about life after death

I can mention more things but here, you have enough evidence that all religions have something in common.
For a deeper understanding read this: http://www.worldprayerfoundation.com/resources/World%20Scriptures.pdf
Here, you can see, when we compare main religious books, most content is the same.
Differences are because of different culture, tradition etc.

9487  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Women beating men; is it common? on: March 21, 2016, 04:26:53 PM
I've read many articles claiming that domestic violence coming from women might me more common than we think but we just don't really get to know about it because it's rarely reported. What do you think about this? Could it be real? And if yes, to what extent?

I'm sure such things happening on daily basis.
Why?
Position of women in society changed a lot in last century.
They become even soldiers, policewomen etc.
It's natural that in many cases women are not weaker but stronger than their husbands.
So, if conflict in the family happen, women can protect herself and her children.
Of course, in many cases, man is still stronger than women but women can ask help from police, social institutions, friends etc.
Women is not helpless victim like before.
Of course, because of pride, no man will confess that women beat him up Smiley


9488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do people around you think about Bitcoin ? on: March 21, 2016, 04:20:22 PM
Honestly, nothing really Smiley
Most of my friends don't know about Bitcoin and don't care at all.
In fact, they are scared even to use Internet for online payments or Internet banking.
Some of them heard about Bitcoin but don't think it's a big deal or something important for them.
For them, this is just virtual money, money gambling and they don't want to be involved here.
I feel sorry for them but it seems, right now, I can't convince them to join us Smiley
I'm waiting for the moment when I will be able to say to all my skeptic friends: ''I told you so''. Smiley




9489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People mocking of me for using Bitcoin on: March 21, 2016, 04:09:29 PM
try to tell others how Bitcoin will conquer the world and you rich is totally dumb and embarrassing.This will definitely make people laugh and believe you're a joke and can not be taken seriously.

Just explain in simple terms what it is and what ti can do.And then demonstrate it. This has always given me best feedback.

am trying to refrain myself from saying things like 'Bitcoin will go to the moon' because it sounds ridiculous to whoever you are trying to explain Bitcoin to.

I feel the same Sad
It's not good, really, to become overexcited in the front of people who don't understand Bitcoin.
If you try to explain them that Bitcoin is the best thing happened in your life, something revolutionary what can change the world, and help a lot people financially, even replace paper money etc.
People will think that you are crazy and stop listen.
So, netter not say top much but share little by little with people who may be able to understand.
9490  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Brussels: Moslems Protected Abdeslam – The Whole Neighborhood Knew He was There on: March 20, 2016, 12:19:58 PM

Quote
A report in the Belgian De Morgen newspaper revealed that the immigrant-terrorist had been sheltered in Brussels all the time, while terrorism “experts” thought he had fled Europe for Syria.

In reality, De Morgen reveals, Abdeslam was “hiding in his own district in Brussels,” within “walking distance of his parents, surrounded by a very different type of network than anyone thought.”

The report shows that “Europe’s most wanted terrorist” was living in a house just 1,000 feet away from his parents’ house, and right next to the shop which he used to run along with his brother.

“Here in the district, everybody has always known that Salah was still here,” a woman told De Morgen. “And not only him, but Mohamed Abrini [the last of the Paris attack fugitives still on free foot] was in that house next to the pharmacy. They walked around openly,” she said.

In addition, the two immigrant-fugitives even walked over to the local police station “just for fun,” the locals told De Morgen, adding that it was clear that they had “a lot of support.”
http://www.dailystormer.com/brussels-moslems-protected-abdeslam-the-whole-neighborhood-knew-he-was-there/

This is very warning report.
If true, it seems that Muslims in the Europe don't accept multiculturalism and don't trust their own government.
It seems they don't have problems with terrorist attacks in Europe, in their own name.
It seems they also have negative feelings toward West, even after West helped them so much, financially and in many other ways, and gave them total freedom to do whatever they like.
I hope this story is not true otherwise it seems that big part of Muslim community in Europe is already against West. 
9491  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Suicide bombing in Istanbul on: March 20, 2016, 12:14:50 PM
They keep hitting Turkey, its very sad. When will these terrorist stop? This is the second or third time this month.

I don't have any sympathies. The attacks are being carried out by two separate groups. The first one is the ISIS. Erdoğan should blame himself for the ISIS attacks, as he is one of the strongest supporters of the Islamic State outside Syria and Iraq. The identity of the second group is unknown. Some claim that it is the Kurdish faction TAK. However, I believe that Erdoğan himself is behind the TAK, which seems to be a ghost organization.

Just another conspiracy theory.
I also don't like much Erdogan and he is really not democratic politician but more half dictator but still it's to much to blame him to be responsible for terrorist attacks in Turkey (directly or indirectly).
He is not responsible for ISIS but USA and West because of their wrong politic in Syria, Iraq and Libya.
Also, he is not responsible for problem with Kurds.  It's very old problem but it seems he made this problem even worst (with his actions).
When will these terrorist stop? When we defeat them. There is no other way to solve it.

9492  Economy / Economics / Re: 1 important Advantage of BTC over other assets and cash. on: March 20, 2016, 12:06:51 PM
One thing about BTC say your country has a natural disaster, invasion, pandemic, bad political situation eg Zimbabwe, your assets are often worthless and hard to get out in any event. Eg good luck selling your property. Cash limits will be slapped on and your currency is likely to be devalued.

Now you could keep say some cash amounts in overseas bank accounts but the hassle, and overheads and it really requires a quite a bit of cash...and then you may not be sure of which country you can get to....

BTC however keeping just a bit that you basically realise anywhere to keep you in food and shelter to weather the worst of it or start agian......its quite a good proposition. 

Interesting idea but please understand, if the cases of big natural disaster there will be no water, food, electricity, no Internet Smiley
So, at first moment, your BTC funds will not help you much.
You will first need medical help, shelter, water and food.
Everything else comes later and probably you will have to wait a while or move to other area in order to find open bank and takes some money or to find some place where you can find Internet and access your BTC funds.
In fact, in such cases the best thing will be to keep all your documents and money in your pocket.
BTC you can't keep in the pocket, and without Internet and electricity, and ATM nearby, you can't cashout your Bitcoin funds.

If you had one chance to get someone interested in Bitcoin (on a TV interview, or in private conversation with a wealthy friend, for example), and under 20 seconds...
What would you say?

Very good question.
I will probably say something like this:
Look guys, in your life you may have only one chance to change everything, become part of something really ''big, revolutionary, become part of vision which can change te world.
Don't miss this opportunity now or you will be sorry later.
your money is already history but Bitcoin is the future.

They know that their the best protection are nuclear weapons and because of this nobody will try to attack them.
So, they can play their little games, and ask for humanitarian help, and other support they need and other countries around them, like S. Korea or China and Japan, can't do much but to isolate this regime with hope that soon or later Kim dynasty will fail and that real changes will come in this country.
I'm just sorry because of this miserable people in N. Korea.

In reality they can't but...
In my country we had one very special case when one very influential media owner send his wife to psychiatric hospital because she wanted to divorce from him and take their child with her.
He proclaim that she is crazy and call doctors and also police as support, in order to bring her by force to medical institution.
All media in the country reported about it and eventually, because of public pressure, she was released from hospital.

I think only a small minority inside Bitcoin are making full-time profit with it, Mostly they are exchanges support and owners and gambling website operators, I doubt even big exchangers are using it.

I agree with you.
I think also lucky ones among us, who joined bitcoin very early, and had faith and confidence to buy as much bitcoin as they could at that time, now surely have a lot BTC with much higher value.
Others, average users, can't make living with bitcoin unless bitcoin become mainstream in the near future and its value increase a lot, 10- 20 times or more Smiley
I'm not sure if we will see such development soon but it's still worth to hold BTC funds in the wallet and wait for something ''big'' to happen and price increase a lot.
Others ways to make living with Bitcoin, as creating on line businesses, exchangers etc, are still to risky.

9497  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: March 19, 2016, 10:53:09 AM
Yes, I spend sometimes coins in real life but not often.
In cases I decide to spend some funds, I invest it in some HYIP programs in order to make some profit.
I don't spend coins for digital products or services, only for investments.
My plan is to hold all funds in my wallet and wait for price increase, what will happen soon.
After that, I will start to withdraw some of this funds.

Kad ću moći raditi transakcije po ciframa kojima rade članice SEPE onda znači da imamo SEPU. Dok se to ne dogodi za mene integracija kao da ni ne postoji.
Nisam gledao od nove godine da li je koja banka integrirala ali poznavajući naše lopove odugovlačit će max koliko budu mogli, vjerojatno do kraja 2016. Umjesto da plaćamo transakcije 5 kuna mi ih plaćamo 150...

Krajnji rok za migraciju na SEPA-ine platne instrumente za države članice koje nemaju euro kao valutu, pa tako i za Republiku Hrvatsku, je 31. listopada 2016. godine.
http://www.sepa.hr/sepa-u-rh/

Pretpostavljam da ce banke to omoguciti upravo na taj dan, ni sekunde ranije.

Ja sam čuo u PBZ banci da sa SEP-om kreću od 1.4 i da će od tog dana sve transakcije biti brže i jednostavnijew jer više neće biti posredničkih banaka unutar EU, već sve transakcije idzu direktno od banke do banke.

Very bad news for all Bitcoin community.
It seems that bitcoin always have problems in non democratic, dictatorship countries like Venezuela now.
I hope this people will be free soon and come back to their families.
In fact, authorities in Venezuela should welcome Bitcoin because their economy collapsing and this may be only chance for them to start over and recover.
I hope they will realize it soon.
