1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Always Be in an Uptrend? on: June 09, 2024, 04:57:39 PM
Just like any other financial asset, there is no guarantee that bitcoin will always be on an uptrend. Although I am sure that bitcoin will continue to grow and its value will always increase, bitcoin is still an asset that has high market fluctuations. Many factors can affect the price of bitcoin, although it has long-term strength but its stability also needs to be considered. There are times when bitcoin goes up and there are times when bitcoin goes down, so you have to be more careful in using it.
2  Economy / Economics / Re: Hunger in a country known for agriculture. on: June 09, 2024, 04:59:28 AM
Nigeria has great agricultural potential with fertile land and abundant natural resources. But it is true that Nigeria has a fairly high level of hunger. Ongoing conflict and climate change are the main drivers of why this can happen.

In Nigeria, there are still frequent conflicts, for example between herders and farmers who continue to compete for water and land. In addition, the rampant violence on the roads makes it less safe to transport agricultural products. And high climate change often causes crop failures in the country.

And corruption also worsens this situation, even though abundant natural resources should be able to get Nigeria out of hunger. I see on Wikipedia that there are many cases of corruption in the country, it is very unfortunate that a country that has very potential natural resources cannot be utilized properly.

4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you pay for car repairs with Bitcoin? Why not :) on: June 06, 2024, 01:43:21 PM
Wow, cool. You added bitcoin payments to your business is a great choice. I'm sure there will be many people interested and surely one day there will be people who use bitcoin payments in your business. Maybe my advice is to update the prices regularly and always consider converting some or all of the bitcoins you receive into fiat currency. This is to reduce the risk because the bitcoin value fluctuations are quite high. Hopefully your business will continue to run and you can get many customers, especially those who pay with bitcoin Wink
5  Economy / Economics / Re: Marketing Strategies in the Digital Age on: June 05, 2024, 02:50:58 AM
Marketing strategies in the digital era are no longer focused on marketing on television, radio, newspapers, magazines or similar. But marketing activities are already carried out through online platforms to promote business products or services. This involves the use of various digital channels such as search engines, digital social, websites and emails to achieve marketing goals.

You are right, the advantages of marketing strategies in this digital era have a wide reach and can even reach between countries so that the products marketed can be known more widely, especially now that almost everyone uses the internet. As far as I know, the types of strategies are also diverse, such as google ads, meta ads, SEO/SEM, email marketing, and influencers.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is bitcoin future roles in Finance? on: June 04, 2024, 05:23:16 PM
If you mean the future role of bitcoin in global finance, especially in cross-border transactions where transaction costs are high and settlement times are slow, with bitcoin funds can be sent in minutes without having to face significant time and cost constraints. This opens up the potential to increase efficiency and accessibility in international transactions, and change the traditional financial paradigm.

For regulatory challenges, it may need to be developed to ensure consumer protection and prevent illegal activities. So that regulation ensures that bitcoin can create balance and encourage greater adoption so that it is more widely known.

11  Local / Altcoins (Bahasa Indonesia) / Re: Apakah kita membutuhkan Altcoin on: June 01, 2024, 03:51:49 PM

Sumber gambar coinvestasi.com

Pada tahun 2008 USA dilanda Resesi, hingga membuat banyak pihak yang kecewa dengan sistem Perbankan.
Maka pada tahun 2009 diciptakan BITCOIN ,dimana BTC menjadi alat pembayaran alternatif yg dianggap lebih adil daripada FIAT.

Setelah BTC mulai diterima banyak pihak, maka banyak orang membuat coin Alternatif yang cara kerjanya sama seperti BITCOIN ,dan fungsinya juga sama seperti BTC yaitu sebagai alat pembayaran selain FIAT.
Koin-koin selain BTC itu semuanya disebut Alternatif coin (ALTCOIN).
Tapi yang paling mengejutkan ternyata banyak yang membuat ALTCOIN, bahkan jumlah ALTCOIN sekarang sudah ada puluhan ribu altcoin.
Bandingkan dengan FIAT didunia ini cuma ada sekitar 190 uang FIAT.
Benar kata orang 99% altcoin akan RUG pada waktunya.
Karena kita memang tidak membutuhkan ribuan mata uang untuk pembayaran kita.
Apalagi kalo fungsi CRYPTO adalah sebagai alat pembayaran alternatif.
Bukan sebagai alat pembayaran utama.

Kalo menurut saya ALTCOIN akan tetap ada..
Tapi paling yang bisa bertahan sekitar 5 sampe 10 altcoin.
Lalu altcoin yang kalah bersaing akan mati dan akan digantikan altcoin yang baru.

koin yang rug itu juga tidak bersamaan ada yang hancur sekarang, ada yang rug tahun depan ada yang hancur 5 tahun lagi.

Menurut kalian sendiri bagaimana mengenai Altcoin?
Saya setuju gan kalau altcoin akan tetap ada dan hanya beberapa saja yang akan bertahan. Hanya altcoin yang memiliki prospek dan pengembangan yang baik yang bisa bertahan. Kalau dibilang membutuhkan atau tidak setiap orang pasti memiliki pendapat masing-masing gan, cuman kalau dibilang penting atau tidak, menurut saya altcoin juga penting gan untuk perkembangan blockchain sehingga memungkinkan kita bisa memilih coin yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Karena altcoin terkadang memperkenalkan fitur-fitur teknologi yang tidak ada pada Bitcoin. Yaa namanya aja teknologi pasti akan berkembang gan, dan beberapa tahun kedepan siapa tau ada altcoin yang memiliki teknologi yang lebih canggih dan inovatif lagi kita gaada yang tau.

13  Economy / Economics / Re: Luxury items stock will be good way to go on: May 31, 2024, 04:46:14 AM
I think Luxury items brands cucci Ferrari or some yacht companies Luxury resorts and hotels.
and even in recression those things always on high demand and when we look at geopolitical situation all over the world by all those issues at the end more and more wealth will go to hands who will consume luxury goods.
It's like bank robbery lol...let them rob bank and i'll get some % asweell without doing anything because the money end destination will be luxury brands:)
More poverty might mean that a lot money for few and it's good for luxury brands life is short off course they want taste touch and feel all the finest things in the world.

As far as I know, someone buys luxury goods such as cars or yachts because they tend to have a better price than regular vehicles, when resold, regardless of the brand you buy. Even in some cases, luxury cars and yachts have a higher selling price than before, over time. Because both have special features that not all vehicles have. In addition, the production process is done by hand and involves highly qualified technicians. However, keep in mind, although the price of these vehicles does not fall too much on the market, proper maintenance also plays an important role in the value of the vehicle you have. It may be natural that many people buy luxury cars and yachts but rarely use them or just for display.

Luxury resorts and hotels are clearly a good choice because people will always need them, there will be operational income and property values will always increase. This investment can be an alternative investment diversification for wealthy people who may have invested in other areas such as stocks, bonds, or other real estate. In this case, luxury resorts and hotels are an attractive choice because they can provide diversity in their investment portfolio, so that if one instrument experiences a decrease in value, investment in hotels can still provide stable returns.

15  Economy / Economics / Re: How safe is it to keep your money and gold underground? on: May 30, 2024, 04:45:18 PM
I have never known or seen this way in the people around me. This is quite old fashioned in this day and age, and I think very few people keep money or gold underground. My question is, is the money taken from the ground still in its original condition? Because as far as I know, even if it is covered with plastic, the chances of it being damaged are very high, it could be eaten by insects or hit by rainwater that is absorbed into the ground.

Even if you want to keep it at home because if you keep it at a bank or something like that there will be additional costs, why not keep it in a safe-deposit box? In my opinion, it is safe to store money and gold in there.
16  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: visi misinya Kenapa harus menaikan gaji pejabat? on: May 30, 2024, 03:12:47 PM
Itu karena Prabowo percaya bahwa peningkatan mutu hidup para penyelenggara negara atau pejabat dapat mengurangi tingkat korupsi di Indonesia gan.
Sikap dan sifat pemerintahan atau aparat di negara kita itu semuanya sudah tertebak karena mereka lebih suka menguntungkan untuk diri sendiri terlebih dahulu sebelum pada akhirnya disalurkan kepada masyarakat (suka atau tidak faktanya seperti itu) sehingga dengan dinaikan gaji justru mereka akan semakin kesenengan pada akhirnya sehingga  projek tetap berjalan serta gaji semakin besar sehingga dalam hal ini saya tidak yakin jika opsi ini dilakukan di Indonesia kita akan aman dan bebas dari korupsi karena menurut saya ini justru akan menambah kesempatan untuk mereka dalam meraup keuntungan yang banyak pada akhirnya.
Klo dibilang yakin nggak yakin saya yakin banyak masyarakat yang nggak yakin juga gan Cheesy Karena seperti contoh orang kaya pun juga terjerat kasus korupsi. Itu menandakan bahwa semua orang memiliki potensi untuk korupsi, jelas tujuannya untuk memperkaya diri dan bisa juga mempermudah tujuannya agar bisa tercapai. Mungkin bisa tuhh gan diperbaiki mulai dari penerimaan atau pendaftarannya lebih diperketat, dengan tujuan agar nanti pejabat yang diterima memiliki kualitas yang baik dan minim terjadinya korupsi. Tapi sebenernya yaa sulit nggak sulit sihh gan yang penting ada usaha buat ngerubah dan saya yakin nanti pasti bakalan ketemu cara yang tepatnya.

A look at the design of these forum speaks louder for it self... Saying you might not enjoy it using some devices...
When writing or reading I guess you know how it is with your android....
I didn't try it until reluctantly I decided to open bitcointalk.org on a computer system. Over there the difference was alarming compared to using your phone...
As much as it can be used on phone it is best with a computer system... I even noticed that without a computer system some challenges or updates one will not be able to follow up...

For the appearance on desktop and mobile I think this forum has the same appearance, so there is no difference. Maybe what makes the difference is each person's habits. There are people who are more comfortable using mobile because it is easy to carry and more practical and there are also people who are more comfortable using a desktop because it is clearer so it is comfortable to look at. This depends on each person. I enjoy using desktop more because it's easier to see. Moreover, when I open this forum on my desktop I also open other websites such as wallets, exchanges or others so it's easier to see. I once tried opening this forum on mobile but the text was small and I couldn't enjoy it or concentrate, so it didn't work out for me.
19  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Turkey Prepares New Crypto Law to Align With International Standards on: May 29, 2024, 02:49:12 PM
I think there are several reasons why Turkey drafted this law. Firstly to protect against fraud and market manipulation, secondly to ensure crypto trading is not used for illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorism financing. As far as I know, previously Turkey already had several crypto regulations. These regulations include obligations for crypto exchanges to register with the government and comply with anti money laundering (AML) and counter financing terrorism (CFT) regulations. However, this regulation does not regulate crypto trading in detail, such as trading mechanisms, investor protection, and taxation. So a new crypto law was created that regulates it in more detail. Moreover, this is also an effort to get Turkey off the gray list of financial crime watchdogs.
