The project sounds good. Especially the part where we'll be able to monetize it.
Will you be making any currency? and when will your ico start?

Can anyone tell me how to post an image in my POST (not comments) on bitcointalk?

Kindly don't mention the following points-

1.) You have to be a jr. member.
2.) Use imgur.
3.) Image must be less than 1.5 mb.

I already know this.

It is still showing as bitcoin proxy error, invalid image.

Sorry to say but all the people who are calling this 'decline' are complete noobs. This has happened before and will take place in the future also. It's time to buy some more. Ciao!

Particularly 'BITCOIN' is not changing the world but the technology behind bitcoin(and other cryptocurrencies) is definitely the game changer in today's world. The technology is called blockchain technology which is responsible for the decentralized nature of this currency.
Have a look at this technology here - https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-blockchain-technology/

8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can be hacked? on: December 28, 2017, 06:01:29 AM
Bitcoin is very difficult to hack, and that is largely due to the blockchain technology which supports it. As blockchain is constantly being reviewed by bitcoin users, hacks are unlikely. On the other hand, though, the fact that bitcoin itself is difficult to hack does not mean that it's necessarily a safe investment. There does exist potential for security risks at various stages of the trading process.

9  Economy / Securities / Re: Where should I keep my btc $? on: December 27, 2017, 08:08:35 AM
Online web wallets, like blockchain.info, Coinbase, etc. In generally, all wallets which keep the private key on their servers.

Low inflation risk. One of the biggest problems with our current dollars and other currencies used around the world is inflation. Over time all currencies lose purchasing power at a rate of few percents per year mainly because governments keep printing more money. This process is basically a small tax on your accumulated wealth. With Bitcoin you don't have this problem because the system is designed to make Bitcoins to be finite. Only about 21 milion Bitcoins will ever be released (mined). The release of new Bitcoins is slowing down and it will stop completely within a few decades. We have a slowing population growth which is projected to stop at around 10 billion by approximately 2050 which roughly coincides with the last Bitcoin to be mined. There will be roughly 1 Bitcoins for every 500 people.
Low collapse risk. Regular currencies depend on governments which fail ocassionally. Such events either cause hyperinflation or a complete collapse of a currency, which can wipe out savings of a lifetime in day. Bitcoin is not regulated by any one government. It's a virtual global currency.
Safe, simple and cheap. The problem with traditional online transactions from the perspective of the seller is that Credit cards, PayPal you and other online payment systems allow buyers to claim their money back. You can can use escrow services but that makes things complicated and slow. With Bitcoins once you have the money you have it and that's that. Buyers can not in any way take the money back and the seller can safely ship the product or perform the service that the client purchased. From the buyer's perspective the infrustructure for payments and sending money between accounts is potentially going to be simpler and cheaper because it is peer-to-peer rather than done through some intermediary.
Easy to carry. Not a real problem that needs a solution, but you can carry a billion dollars worths of Bitcoins on a memory stick in your pocket. You can't do that with cash or even gold.
Untraceable. This is both a benefit and a risk for Bitcoin. The benefit is that you don't have to be afraid of any organization of being able to trace the source of your funds. This is a clear benefit in many areas of the world because governements that are supposed to guard against fraud are actually defrauding people by taking their savings partially or fully. Regarding risks I will discuss them in the next section.
11  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Women empowerment? on: December 27, 2017, 06:39:15 AM
Women Empowerment refers to increasing and improving the social, economic, political and legal strength of the women, to ensure equal-right to women. Women empowerment helps women to control and benefit from resources, assets, income and their own time, as well as the ability to manage risk and improve their economic status and wellbeing. Many of the barriers to women's empowerment and equity lie ingrained in cultural norms. Many women feel these pressures, while others have become accustomed to being treated inferior to men. Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors is essential to build stronger economies, achieve internationally agreed goals for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life for women, men, families and communities.
12  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best GDAX alternative? on: December 27, 2017, 06:23:09 AM
Top GDAX Alternatives includes CEX.IO, Bitfinex, BitPanda, Bit2Me and others Bitcoin Exchange Markets

While this platform is a good trading platform for various cryptocurrencies, the software itself can be considered basic. There are no advanced features for the traders to take advantage of the market, so that the users are stuck with the basic features of the software. The maker’s fee is free, but the taker fee is quite high, especially if you exchange low volumes of cryptocurrencies.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Bitcoins taxable? on: December 26, 2017, 01:54:51 PM
Technically, it is hard to tax bitcoin. Because bitcoins are anonymous.

But when you convert bitcoins to euros or to USD, the capital gain can be taxed.

In France, for example, any income must be declared and will be taxed.

So if you bought bitcoins, then sell them for profits, you must tell it to the french IRS.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Investment on: December 26, 2017, 12:58:36 PM
I’d suggest you should invest in Ether. The name might sound new and you might not know much about this cryptocurrency either. But as unthinkable as it sounds, Ether is the second most popular cryptocurrency right now. The first one is of course, the bitcoin. The third one is ripple and then comes your litecoin. Ether is the official cryptocurrency of Ethereum which was launched last year in July. But since the time of its release, the growth shown by Ether is phenomenal both in terms of its price value and market cap. Besides, the prices of ether are expected to go even higher as the time goes by. So without a doubt, it can be a very good option for investment seeing its growth chart and future scope.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why bitcoin so expensive? on: December 26, 2017, 11:58:31 AM
Bitcoin is getting expensive or shall i say it is gaining it’s real value because of growing worldwide popularity,acceptance as well as it’s own characterstics/advantages.

The prices are expected to be rising in future as well because market sentiments are positive.

If the Indian Government wanted to ban Bitcoin, or term it illegal, it could have done so long ago. But the way the rapid emergence of Bitcoins and the cryptocurrency market has challenged the fiat currency legacy, it has become a revolutionary phenomena that cannot be ignored. While some countries have started experimenting with it, and supporting it after due diligence and regularization, India has taken a wait and watch approach.

Without taking a clear stand, the Government has taken a diplomatic position where its is advising people to invest in cryptocurrencies at their own risk. It’s best to keep it that way for some time until a clear picture emerges on how the Bitcoin market matures. Yet, if Bitcoin related banking and credit card transactions have been allowed by the Indian Government and RBI, this implies indirect support by the Government without taking ownership of risks involved.

In the long term, everyone knows that the concept of cryptocurrencies is here to stay. Putting a complete ban on it would not make much sense because that would mean a significant loss of opportunity.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: December 24, 2017, 11:40:28 AM
Bitcoin benefits as opposed to fiat currency:

Very very low fees of transaction and storage - Millions of dollars transfered that require no fee or as low as a few cents
Not necessary to deal with banks, lawyers and regulatory agencies - a phone or PC and an internet connection will do; though some countries are beginning to draw up legislation concerning Bitcoin possession
The system is extremely hard to breach, thus uncommonly safe - due to the mathematical algorythms that transaction and Bitcoin creation is based (google Bitcoin mining)
Non-inflationary currency - unlike the Dollar, Euro or Pound which can and is printed out of thin air by governments and thus decline in value (phenomenon called inflation), Bitcoin is limited in possible quantity that can be ‘mined’ much like gold
Anonymity - although it functions on a ‘public universal ledger’ (the Blockchain) there is no way for any authority to find out who posesses and transfers Bitcoin; which has led to popularity for some unfortunate uses such as drug dealing
is not politically or geographically limited - universal use of Bitcoin would diminish fees for converting currency and there is no one political entity in control, rather it is based on open source code
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Bitcoin is better than other coins? on: December 24, 2017, 11:20:42 AM
I am sure there will be because something needs to replace Bitcoin, eventually. All tech gets replaced in the long run. However, most people will not be at the first stages of the currency where it is cheap enough to justify the risk & returns. Right now it is looking like Ethereum or Litecoin are already on the way to that path.

Ethereum has had more dramatic growth then even Bitcoin did so it is still expected to grow. But at the current price does not justify the risk. If it goes to $1000 or above (which it probably will) one would receive 4x the money back on the investment (at $250/per coin purchase). However, if you would have purchased in December you would have much more (it was $8/per coin then).

LiteCoin is still cheap, has had years of stable history and is most simply a better version of Bitcoin. If it was called Bitcoin 2 it would probably have had a lot more action then has to date : ) Many Bitcoin developers would find it easier to develop for a similar technology, rather than something entirely different (Ethereum). Now that Segwit was activated, lighting networks and smart contracts are on the short term roadmap. This makes Litecoin the most relevant alt-coin underdog. In the coming months I would not be surprised if it goes above $100/per coin. However, crypto coin markets are not logical and the entire bubble can pop at any moment.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe that digital currencies will replace Fiat? on: December 24, 2017, 11:10:37 AM
If you consider that once we become an intergalactic species (thanks Elon) traditional Fiat currencies will have no real value in space. As they are grounded with principles and agreements that were established on - earth.

Whereas, with Cryptocurrencies, the sky is not even the limit - space just might be though. I mean, think about it - if you’re in space, how much more frictionless can you get with being able to just send “coins/tokens” or ‘Credits’ as they might be considered from other popular films made in the recent years. I truly believe that Crypto Currency in the long-term will be the future of money, but like any major shift that will disrupt our way of life mass consumer adoption BUT ALSO education will be imperative.

Because people fear things they don’t know about, or are uncertain of - they may resist this change for a while, however just as smartphones have become a part of our everyday lives, cryptocurrencies will someday become part of our everyday lives as well. That is, unless you can envision an alternative where people who are doing business in space are trying to do a Bank transfer via ACH or Wire. It’s not going to be as likely, whereas with the many benefits Crypto provides - it’s far more likely.

Needless to say however, this is all not likely to happen immediately (in the next 12-months) but certainly over a longer term where we give people time to become educated on the disruptive tech that has been created.
