1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Would Blockchain change the landscape of Politics? on: April 24, 2018, 06:26:14 AM
What can Blockchain do for politics? How do they overlap each other?
Management of public funds, these funds would be in a common accounting record ensuring that resources reach the intended purposes. Elections, votes would be counted in real time and would have detailed support that would limit electoral fraud, strengthening democracy.
Government management, registration, monitoring and auditing of public works progress would be possible with smart contracts.
So far, these countries are developing blockchain technology: Australia, China, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, United States, Estonia, Holland, Japan, Malta, Poland, United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine.
Would this bring a new era?
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Could Monero replace Bitcoin? on: April 13, 2018, 01:54:47 AM
In terms of likelihood, the probability of Monero replacing Bitcoin is so very low, at least not in the nearest future.

During the next six to the thirty-month horizon, Monero has such little probability of attaining a dominant position so massively exceeding that which bitcoin currently enjoys such that bitcoin was considered essentially obsolete and was, in a practical sense, effectively redundant, that the chance of this can be considered ZERO.

However, in terms of capability & potential, Monero can match Bitcoin and thus if enough cryptocurrency users largely abandoned bitcoin in favor of Monero. This alternative to Bitcoin, it has the technical capability to provide the same or similar functionalities to those which are bitcoin provides by virtue of its core design purpose. Therefore, Monero ‘replacing’ Bitcoin is definitely plausible; which is to say: within the foreseeable future, it is a reasonable possibility at least, if not an absolute certainty.

4  Economy / Economics / Re: Venezuela's growing interest in bitcoin explained on: April 09, 2018, 10:30:39 AM
🇻🇪
Venezuela, the country with the highest inflation rate in the world, with a non-existence decentralize currency, has struggled to obtain cash to finance their daily needs leading to starvation of the general population.
The socialist nation saw a fall in oil prices, throwing the entire economy into disorder. Experts predict that Venezuelan's inflation could go as high as 1,600%.
No wonder the awareness of Venezuelans in the consequences of government-funded and supported banking and financial systems. There's an arguable irresponsible monopoly in charge of their currency where a bright solution comes in a digital form.
Bitcoin has gradually changed the mindset of the global population, and Venezuelans are the ones who could benefit directly with the ability to gain control of their money and obtain financial freedom from their government.
The rising demand and interest in bitcoin in Venezuela also make the possibility of the replacement of national currency with a digital store of value, that's where "Petro" came to play.
Petro, here's the Wikipedia definition "Announced in December 2017, it is claimed to be backed by the country's oil and mineral reserves, and it is intended to supplement Venezuela's plummeting bolívar fuerte currency, purportedly as a means of circumventing U.S. sanctions and accessing international financing."
(the entire link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_(cryptocurrency)

Petro has been everywhere on state TV and government-run social media, promoting its benefits. There's even a catchy Twitter hashtag #PetroParaVencer, (“Petro to conquer”) which has been regularly used by politicians and government Twitter accounts.

Ok, so what has happened with Petro so far?
Declared as unconstitutional, one of Venezuela's two opposing lawmaking bodies using hard rhetoric has denounced the project as not only a fraud but a threat to potential investors.

What's next for Venezuela? The same body declared: "This deepens the crisis that we are living in. The PTR is another [example] of corruption, and we will come out of this crisis with measures that we have announced from this Parliament."

What's your view on Venezuela's faith?
Could you give me a link of an article to support your arguments? as I was reading the post eventually there is one thing that comes to my mind. And that is cryptocurrency are now playing around the world and it could be used as an advantage to every establishments. Cryptocurrency has a lot of advantage and many are already embracing that includes your country Venezuela. That would be the good thing to happen and hopefully that some other countries will follow Venezuela as well. Hence we could not wait anymore for other times to invest in crypto. Now is the best time to invest and hopefully in the near future as a growing investment we could take part also in the success of cryptocurrency.

Yes sure!

I agree on certain points, however not because the technology itself works means that people will follow as they should... in other words, Petro did not go well because it shows some signs of fraud. So other methods and laws needs to be incorporated.

20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Why altcoin is better than bitcoin? on: April 03, 2018, 01:59:03 AM
Although Bitcoin has taken up 40% the coin market. But is it more worthy to invest in bitcoin? Since bitcoin can never replace the paper currency for the moment due to many complicated reasons, and most bitcoins are already acquired by a small sum of people. So if a kind of currency can't be circulated, what's the meaning of that coin. When it comes to ICO, and the release of altcoin, it means that you are investing in a company, you are holding equity in the company. If you think this company will have a bright future, it's always worthy to put your money in.
