1  Economy / Economics / Re: Can bitcoin help poor children in underdeveloped countries? on: April 09, 2018, 05:17:52 AM
Illiteracy is the cause of poverty. We know a cup of coffee (Starbucks) = 20 notebooks, or a school bag, or two pairs of slippers for poor children in Vietnam.

Bitcoin isn't something like a magic wand. It is not a person that will give you a help. So for me, bitcoin is definitely not gonna help poor children in an underdeveloped country because first of all, bitcoin is uncommon to them. They don't even know the existence of it. Also, they have an internet connection and even gadgets so how they gonna be involve in bitcoin. It is not also a government or a business that has a power to help them and lastly, bitcoin doesn't have the responsibility to them it is their governments and country that should have take an action.

Why do I still believe in bitcoin ? Simple, because I've seen the good effects and impacts of it to someone's life. It have change the way how people live by bitcoin being their sideline job or one of their extra source of income or money. I believe in here for a reason that bitcoin serves as my hope in getting my life better and earning. I also witnessed its helpful benefits.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to eliminate unemployment. on: April 04, 2018, 05:50:03 AM
Almost every country has unemployment problems. There are many young boys who are working unemployed. But the days of settling their turn are over. Now, if you wish, you can earn a lot of money sitting in the house. Bitcoin can earn their unemployment by earning. It can be possible to improve the country by improving their lives by earning bitcoin. That is why Bitcoin among all Habetahale to spread the knowledge of the second day will increase the demand for Bitcoin.

It is a no for me. Although bitcoin give us income by just sitting and involving in here, it doesn't mean it will eliminate unemployed citizen because first of all, for me, bitcoin is not a regular job for us due to its value is unstable and we can't guarantee how long it will survive.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin worth risking your time and money? on: April 04, 2018, 02:42:18 AM
We all know that involving in bitcoin it takes your time and also money.Is it worthy to risk your time and money because of bitcoin?

We all know that bitcoin do really requires efforts, time, and money. Involving in here will be worth it only if you know that all your hardworks will lead you to somewhere better such as  starting to join in the campaigns and investing whereas it could be one of the sources of your income or gaining profits. In addtion, just by acquiring knowledge about crypto is somehow a goid result of your effort. So I guess being here in bitcoin is really worth it.
5  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people says gold is better? on: April 02, 2018, 04:09:33 AM
Actually today I watched a video on facebook which is about spending bitcoin and gold in USA,it says it is difficult to spend bitcoin but some places are accepting bitcoins accepting as payment like supermarket,restaurants and some institutions.But no one accepting gold as payment then why still people says gold is better?

Maybe most of the people are still saying that gold is better because of their lack of knowledge about cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. In fact, if you randomly ask someone on your neighborhood especially the old ones what is better, gold or crypto they will say gold due to it is intangible, have a high price, and popular since the civilization. In addition, most of the people are still not used in using crypto as a money as a payment.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Will future paper money disappear? on: April 01, 2018, 04:11:58 PM
With the development of cryptocurrency, more and more places accept bitcoin. In the future, will paper money disappear, and the money that people earn will be given to you in encrypted form, and the purchase will be paid in encrypted form?
Please give your opinion.

I guess paper money will not disappear in the future although there's a rise of cryptocurrency. I have said it because I don't think governments from countries will replace it with digital money. Paper money is more convenient and easy to use for those who doesn't have any background about cryptocurrency. Moreover, it is what people are used to.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Really End World Poverty? on: January 29, 2018, 10:50:44 AM
Can bitcoin really do anything to solve world poverty problem? Brian Singer certainly think so. He thinks that Bitcoin can bring minimum everyday earning for people more swiftly than any other economy system.

Is it possible?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2015/04/02/how-bitcoin-will-end-world-poverty/

I think it is impossible to really end the world poverty using bitcoin due to first of all bitcoin was not created to be a solution to end the poverty. It doesn't have the ability to stop it. BTC cannot really end the poverty because of not all of us have an internet connection, capable of using it, and knowledgable about it. But on the other hand, bitcoin can be your source of income.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do with the people who don't like Bitcoin? on: December 11, 2017, 12:17:30 PM
What would you do when you're talking to someone but then he suddenly talks about his hatred on Bitcoin, what would you react to it?

I've never actually experienced anything like this before, I just want to be prepared when it happened to me.

Well, If I were to encounter someone who doesn't like bitcoin I will ask first what was his reason to come up with this idea or perspective of him then when he start answering it, I will now explain the key concepts of the bitcoin in a positive and easiest way as possible then tell him the benefits of it in someone's life. If after all that, he still doesn't like the bitcoin, well, I will let it be because I am not the one who holds his mind and life and it is not my lost.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you surprise by bitcoin price now? on: December 10, 2017, 12:41:40 PM
October 29, 2017 Bitcoin price ranges from $6,000 - $6,100 and today, bitcoin price is now $7,000. Are you surprise?

I think, if only those people who planning to invest in bitcoin manage to notice this sudden increase. I think there is a high chance that they will start investing.



Yeah I'm kinda surprised about the bitcoin price. It only proves and tell us that people are continuously engaging here in botcoin in order to become rich in the future. It is one of the evidences that bitcoin is successful and looking forward to what will happen next. In addition to that, the price of bitcoin nowadays shows us that it is expanding and becoming more and more bigger than it is.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: December 09, 2017, 12:12:19 PM
I have heard that bitcoin is not supported in some countries. But why ? Is it because bitcoin is risky ? Some countries even declare 6 months jail if her people use bitcoin. Is it fair ? I mined few cryptos and have left mining. It was fun and challenging too. But I never got any clear answer. What does my gpu actually do ? I pay electric bill, my room temperature goes high and I get paid. With actually no skill on pc hardware and software. Whole thing is still pretty unclear to me

In my opinion, maybe the countries that are not supporting bitcoin see it as a risky step to their government because of not all their citizens are knowledgable about bitcoin. Addition to that, some countries are still have doubts in using it due to they didn't know what's ahead in the future of bitcoin. Also because of security issues. They are not supporting bitcoin for a reason that maybe it is still unknown to them.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Everyone already knows about bitcoin" no.. no they do not.. on: December 02, 2017, 01:58:22 PM
many will have heard the word in passing. they won't know what it means. i think it'll be at least 5-10 years before it dawns on a small number of people in global terms.

I think some of the people probably heard the BTC but I guess they don't really know about it for a reason that it is still 'unknown' in the society. Most of the people are tradional and not so techy (technology literate) so there is a huge chance they don't know the existence of it. In my opinion, even some of the bitcoiners are still ignorant in bitcoin especially to those who are new. It will take a lot of time to finally arise and use the bitcoin by all of us.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Offline Wallets Vs Online Wallets on: October 27, 2017, 02:50:43 AM
I would personally recommend an Offline wallet

I agree with you. For me, I would go to offline wallet for a reason that it is much more secure than the online wallet because choosing the online wallet will be a big risks due to it can be easily hacked by someone. Choosing the offline wallet will let you live conviniently because of no need to have an internet connection and very accessible. It will also hold and store a large amount of bitcoin.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some government ban bitcoin? on: October 26, 2017, 10:42:23 AM
I See topics about banning and I want to ask.

Is botcoin really that bad? To banned by other countries?
Do the other government in other countries see something bad?
Can bitcoin be used to locate us?and see what we are doing? In short a Spyware.  



In my opinion and based on the article I have read, some governments ban it due to bitcoin's lack of central payment system that will result to financially harmed or uncertain financial aspect.  Also, some of them think that bitcoin is illegal for a reason that it doesn't have enough existing laws. In addition, I think they ban it because of unsure result it will give especially to their economic's status and the banks situation.
14  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? on: October 23, 2017, 03:43:12 PM
in my experience when you are explaining bitcoin to someone it is best to first stick to easy explanation, for example if someone asked what mining is, don't try to get into details (specially if like me you have a hard time explaining anything technical) just give a simple explanation.
and it is then a good idea to show the use cases of bitcoin. for example there are lots of services out there that will help you save up on a lot of money when purchasing things with bitcoin. introduce these sites to them.

My way of spreading my bitcoin knowledge is so simple. First, I will tell a true story about the people who are getting or having more money by just participating in bitcoin which happen to be my classmates and close friends to my other circle of friends and then when they are being curious and getting more into it, I now explain the most basic knowledges such as how to register and the purpose and content of each topic. When they are involve in here, I let them know the other important details in an understandable way. After convincing someone to join, I will just repeat the cycle in order to spread my knowledge in bitcoin.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: How to teach kids about Bitcoin? on: October 15, 2017, 05:30:27 AM
I would say it's best to teach them the same way you teach them about money. Except for the bits about security. Cheesy
Kids are able to pick things up quickly anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard.

It would be nice if you teach them bitcoin the same way you teach them about money but don't forget not all kids are interested in bitcoin for such a reason that they are too  young and playing and enjoying are what matters to them. On the other hand, if the kids are into it why not create a game like a game with story line, educational, puzzle and so on that will advertise the mechanics of bitcoin since they are morelikely to engage in technologies. Another way was to explain the concept of bitcoin in a creative way.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: October 14, 2017, 05:41:25 PM
Bitcoin can reduce the number of unemployment and will bring a tremendous increase of self-employed individuals who are earning from online business such as trading and other investments. In my country domestic mothers have now a source of income and that is through the use of bitcoin, they are earning income through investments, trading and online jobs.

In my opinion, bitcoin does have a positive and negative effect in reducing unemployment. For the positive, it sometimes reduces unemployed people especially when this people are knowledgable about how bitcoin works and the purpose, use, and structure of it. It helps them to get some money to make a living and to support their family. Bitcoin can also be a sideline for the unemployed. But on the other hand, Bitcoin cannot totally reduces or minimize the rate of unemployment in the world because first of all, most of the people still doesn't know the existence of it and not fully aware of bitcoin. So in my side, bitcoin is neutral in reducing and not unemployment.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: October 14, 2017, 04:56:16 PM
Bitcoin in my opinion is a golden opportunity for everyone and for myself because bitcoin creates an opportunity to earn money in an easier way.

The bitcoin for me is an opportunity to earn money. It is one of our sources of income that will result to be financially stable. In addition, bitcoin is a way to invests your money in order for it to be doubled. I also think that BTC is our future money especially if it's accepted in our world. For me, bitcoin is one of a ways to live conviniently due to it can use as payments. It is my hope to get more money that will help me and it give me a great help.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long bitcoin will survive ? on: October 14, 2017, 04:11:08 PM
I think it will survive until people believes in the technology. Since bitcoins can last indefinitely in theory, bitcoins will be relevant if there are people that are willing to buy and sell it. The 21,000,000 bitcoin cap is just the number of bitcoins that will go out in circulation. The part of mined block, is just actually rewards. Miners can still continue mining blocks even without rewards. I guess that's a good thing for us, since our transactions will still be written in the blockchain. But I don't think I'll live to see that day since it's so far away.

In my opinion, I think bitcoin will last as long as there are people keep on using it in transactions, payments, investments and so on and so forth and keep on interacting or navigating it. It will also survive as long as there is an internet connection for us to be able to post,read, answers and join in this forum. Bitcoin will not die if all of us or even most of us will trully support it and introduce it to others and ofcourse it will remain for so long and will not end if only we accept it. So I guess, bitcoin can survive for years or even century if we do all these things.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens? on: September 29, 2017, 06:39:28 PM
Of course ordinary citizens can use bitcoins. But, the catch is that, they will not be able to use it properly unless they have atleast some knowledge about cryptography and security. A lot of terms used in the community will leave them confused. But, the thing is that anyone can learn something if it is an interest or a necessity. Just look at computers Cheesy

I agree with you! I think all of us can access and used bitcoin because in my opinion, it is a forum for everyone but the main issue here is that people without the enough knowledge about technology and cryptocurrency like bitcoin cannot navigate it so well especially to those who don't have an interest in here. Still I can say that ordinary people are welcome here.
