The latest news is that the US government is look closely at Bitcoin. A number of governments such as Russia and China are also planning to issue their own digital currencies. They clearly see a financial threat from Bitcoin.

What do you think? Can governments kill Bitcoin and replace it with their own digital/crypto currency?
Government rules if they want it they can get it but it needs much discussion with the expert, But I think they will not create their own crypto, because government were greed they want paper money so they can steal it easily..
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as money on: April 03, 2018, 04:47:07 AM
They say that bitcoin is the future of money. What do you think if we use bitcoin in everyday lives as a money? Like buying foods. Or buying clothes. Do you imagine it positively or negatively?
well that would be good so we can use it directly, but I think it will take for so many years before it would happen. It would be exciting since bitcoin is volatile. So for me I take it positively.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if, we advertise bitcoin on T.V.? on: April 03, 2018, 02:54:30 AM
Yes being advertise on a national tv would be a great help in popularizing bitcoin. Once it will become popular to every human being the demand for bitcoin will increase and many will invest in this crypto. So Im looking forward for a bitcoin to be commercialized in televisions.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you mean when you say Bitcoin is number 1 on: April 03, 2018, 01:12:38 AM
For me, bitcoin is number 1 in privacy and store value, Because of its anonymity and having a volatile price but doesn't go to zero I agree that bitcoin has the greatest store value.. It can reach up to millions in the next few years.

Possesses bitcoin as well as holding a gun  Huh Smiley Huh
http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/
well, it depends on how your country reacts on bitcoin, if its illegal in your country maybe it can be called as crime but I think there were already laws that prohibit the use of bitcoin.. But it doesnt mean that you can compare the bitcoin with the use of gun.. they were on different aspects. Bitcoin can make our lives better..guns can make our lives miserable.

When you save your money on a bank the profit is very low, better invest it in ICO or buy bitcoin because as the time passes your money will be tripled, sometimes it will grow up into five times. Bitcoin is the nicest investment nowadays.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: regret by not believing in BITCOIN? on: March 28, 2018, 07:34:40 AM
who among you here heard bitcoin back in 2009 and 2010? I was one of the people who is very skeptical about it and I really regret it. Sad I missed the best opportunity for a lifetime.
I heard it only last 2016 and I dont believe in it, If I do, I may be wealthy now,, sadly i only began joining bitcoin this early 2018. I hope I will have a better luck this 2018 through bitcoin.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think that bitcoin can reduce corruption? on: March 28, 2018, 06:57:06 AM
I think bitcoin is nothing to do with corruption, Government officials will always find their ways to corrupt be it bitcoins or fiat. The amount of Fiat wont be affected by btc. So they will have lot of it to corrupt.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to Make Money in Crypto on: March 28, 2018, 05:54:02 AM
Good day as I am new to the crypto world What is really the way to make $ in in crypto ? such as Bitcoin or other coins?

I understand as i have some invested. in my wallets the values go up and down, so you can cash out or sell when value up?

do you just buy and sell currency as the markets move up and down? or what other ways to make $ with crypto?
do you transfer bitcoin over to other websites etc?

or what should i be focusing on? thanks

just like to know what all the experts do?
Well, to make crypto is to mine, To earn it you must do trading, Investing Or buying.. But if you don have enough capital you can earn it by joining bounties or airdrops. Just make sure that you are on the right track.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to Secure Bitcoins? on: March 28, 2018, 05:10:02 AM
Maybe to keep our bitcoin secure is that we should be responsible for keeping our keys and we should not visit unsecured sites and install unsecured apps in our software as this may be dangerous to our bitcoin. Hackers always find their ways to rob us, so better safe than sorry.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So Bitcoin is King.. why is it?! on: March 27, 2018, 07:07:59 AM
I understand for the past years, Bitcoin has been the king of cryptos, but why is that so? I have been for several months now reading a lot about the whole crypto ecosystem, i even bought several bitcoins back in August (sold them all today, for 4x returns and am keeping all the money in the broker account, and maybe i'll buy BTC again just as soon as i manage to retrieve my belief in BTCs future viability -i am trying really hard).

Enough background, now on to the topic at hand. I am now all too familiar with the challenges BTC has in front of it, and i sincerely can't see a solution.

1. Slow transactions - If you pay a high enough fee (at the moment over $15), you'll get a 10 minutes confirmation for your transaction. So at the very least it takes 10 minutes for a transaction to pass through, which really isn't so much assuming one is willing to pay the high fee. If one doesn't want to pay over $1 (i mean why should we, since the original idea of cryptos was that they should be cheap, fast and anonymous!), then one will wait indefinitely, probably for days or even damn weeks!!!

2. High fees - Now over $15 for high priority on the blockchain. Imagine if the price were to multiply by 5x. The fees!! $100+ per transaction maybe? This is insane. Satoshi Nakamoto has/have probably unfortunately died (i mean he/they WOULD by now have come forward and said enough is enough, miner cartels are ruining the BTC system and these high fees are outrageous insanity) turning in his grave with the hell that is happening to the BTC's ecosystem.

3. Lack of solutions - The major solution everyone is currently clinging to is the Lightning Network. Really?? It is still theoretical. Will it ever be effectively implemented and integrated into BTC and its blockchain? We don't know. Will it be practical, and effectively reduce costs substantially? We don't know! When will it be ready? Sometime in 2018? With a measly small team of developers? 2018 maybe! If it ever becomes pratical. Right now it seems the WHOLE BTC ecosystem hopes that the LN will work and solve ALL of BTCs complex problems. This is a very big and risky assumption. If it doesn't, i sincerely don't see how the BTC is going to navigate ever higher demand and users. It will bottleneck even more and the result will not be pretty. Besides, the whole concept of creating off-chain direct channels between users doesn't seem very practical to me, but perhaps i am wrong.

4. Miner cartels? Have major miner groups taken over the BTC? I haven't studied it deeply enough to make this conclusion, but this is the feeling i am fetting, maybe i am very wrong. Why isn't a solution to this DAMN OBVIOUS BOTTLENECK PROBLEM being chased with the urgency that i think the BTC community should have? Maybe i am missing something, or many things, i am by no means an advanced and very knowledgeable member of the community. But is the theory that major miner groups hijacking the BTC ecosystem in order to keep their high fees absurd? Maybe it is, but at my current understanding it seems like a possibility.

5. Bitcoin considered solely as a store of value. Right now, the only use of BTC is functioning as a store of value. Let other cryptos serve the more mundane task of serving as cash! BTC is digital GOLD! So the argument goes. Is this enough for the BTC? This isn't what i thought BTC was supposed to be. It SHOULD serve as a srote of value as well as a means for making fast and costless daily transactions. You see i am not against a system that serves solely as a store of value but i WONDER if it will be enough, will BTC present enough utility for people once they realize they can't use it for small transactions, but instead they should see BTC solely as something akin to a long term investment, that isn't useful for small transactions? The way i see it the more utility a crypto currency presents to its users, the ore value it will have, and right now there are a dozen CRYPTOS will a lot more utility than the Bitcoin.

So i ask again what makes Bitcoin the King? Network effect? The fact that it has been time-tested longer than any other crypto? A supposed community that supports it (what support they give eludes me too, i don't see much support actually)? Right now i see the BTC as a bloated, outdated and overvalued ecosystem that may survive and continue to thrive just because it has the first mover advantage and biggest network, but i am not sure of it and would really appreciate if it actually kept the edge in it's design and technology too over other cryptos. Right now i don't see it at all.
Being the original one and the most trusted crypto, I consider bitcoin as the king of all crypto currencies. So if you dont want to consider it you can go with your own belief.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: How many people in the world know about bitcoin? on: March 27, 2018, 06:34:40 AM
Well I dont know how many aRe there too but I guess in our country there were only 6 percent Or I think lower,, Only those who are familiar to digital world knows about bitcoin If I succeed here I want to educate every people in our community to btc.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can any government ban Bitcoin? on: March 27, 2018, 03:31:00 AM
Yes if they will, they can. They have the authority to ban everything that is coming to their country, but this will not gonna happen to all countries because many countries are now accepting bitcoin as part of their economy.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc good experience for young people on: March 26, 2018, 09:07:12 AM
Whatever it is Im so happy that I experience having a crypto and learning almost everything about it. It may be the best experience for the new generation. Earning on their own without the help of their parents..
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT IF the GOVERNMENT wins over BITCOIN? on: March 26, 2018, 07:41:59 AM
Then that would be the saddest crypto news ever, But I dont think the government will win over btc. The only way for them to win is to unite each country with regards to bitcoin. Unity is far from reality. Im not saying that unity is not good what I am telling is that to unite against crypto is the worst thing ever.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: So, you want to be rich? All of you ? on: March 26, 2018, 07:01:20 AM
Do not worry much dude, everyone wants to be rich but not everyone will be given a chance. If we become rich we must be responsible enough for our own chores.. Not that because we were rich we will just lie down waiting for anyone to do what we gonna suppose to do
20  Economy / Economics / Re: If the world uses a single currency on: March 26, 2018, 06:02:31 AM
It doesnt matter whether the country uses many currency because each of it is convertible, so having one currency doesnt affect our economics. It is impossible for our world to use only a single currency because we have our different traditions and beliefs.
