1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most cryptocurrencies will crash to zero on: June 08, 2018, 06:06:29 PM
As quoted from CNBC there is a cryptocurrency will be zero.

What do you think ?

From :

https://www. cnbc. com/2018/02/07/most-cryptocurrencies-will-crash-to-zero-goldman-sachs-says.html

Yes there is a possibility that bitcoin will crash into zero but not in the near future. Just like what others said that bitcoin started as zero and they say that it will return to zero. However, I think that that scenario is still in the distant future. Bitcoin today us still gaining its popularity and still managing to be on he spotlight. Bitcoin will still go a long way in being an alternative investment, a mode of payment or transaction and being a currency.

Bitcoin opens many doors of new markets, which would affect the economy of a country, the reason why there are some countries who don't like bitcoin because cryptocurrency controlled by no one and because they don't get taxes. But if governments open there eyes and use bitcoin in its positive ways as possible you would be shocked that the third world countries who opens their gates on bitcoin will become one of the best countries we have ever seen.

Indeed bitcoin can affectthe economy because it is a form of investment and if it does progress, a country’s economy will benefit from  it. Also, bitcoin provides job to people so when there are jobs available, there will be more taxpayers and the economy will grow. If bitcoin will be legal especially on third world countries.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 5 countries that banned bitcoin on: June 07, 2018, 06:08:52 PM
COUNTRIES THAT BANNED BITCOIN

Before we start to our topic this I want to tell that some of you might know about this but I just wanna share this to those who are not.

                Several people believe that bitcoin was a blessing and it was an opportunity
for everyone but not everyone shares the sentiment. From central banks and other finance company, Bitcoin's list of detractors runs for a very long time and gone so deep.But most of the government around the world seeks for the regulation of bitcoin.

                Be due to fear,ignorance and protectionism, governments have a tendency to legislate against perceived threats.Countries such as japan protects its citizens to have free trade of the digital currency.But unfortunately not all countries embracing the change of our technology.In some cases citizens have had their assets seized,accounts got frozen and have been locked up, Government can't stop the blockchain from propagating, but they can stop their people in having access to it.

STOP THE BITCOIN!!

               Like banning drugs,alcohol and other stuffs banning bitcoin sounds nonsensical and unforceable.That's the exact case in five countries:

1.Bangladesh
2.Bolivia
3.Ecuador
4.Kyrgyzstan
5.Nepal

It was recently reported in https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-illegal-in-nepal-police-arrest-seven-individuals-for-trading-operations/
that there were dozens of bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts get imprison seemingly guilty of little more than operating a small-scale bitcoin exchange.

Meanwhile Ecuador has outlawed bitcoin, nit because they opposed this crypto but because they want to regulate and control it and tether it with the Ecuadorian dollar.An Electronic money designed to operate ad support monetary scheme dollarization.Completing the naughty list of countries that have banned bitcoin is Kyrgyzstan, a tiny landlocked state in Central Asia,
And Bangladesh banned bitcoin, it was 2014 where Bangladesh bank stated that anyone that will be caught using such online currency could be jailed mostly because it's about "MONEY LAUNDERING".


this was already an old news for updated list

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country_or_territory


so what do you think? will your country will ban the use of bitcoin?
do you know other countries that ban the bitcoins?
Please share it and tell to everyone Smiley
Although my country does not really recognize bitcoin, I think that it will not ban it. The similarities of those countries that ban bitcoin is that they are poor or developing countries. It is true that those who are wealthy become wealthier and the poor become poorer. On the other hand, countries who accept and promote bitcoin are the developed ones such as US, UK and Japan. So come to think of it.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you did not listen before, now is last chance to reduce your loss on: June 07, 2018, 02:50:05 AM
I told you so - many times in here. It was a bubble, and you should get the hell out of BTC.

The responses in here were mainly hysteric screaming of "FUD".

It is now clear from more and more posts in here that people who came late to the bubble-party are in losses on their Bitcoins. Well, told you so.

This is not the time to HODL. The party is over. Your choice is whether to sell now and take a loss, or wait until you have lost everything.

This is such a negative post and the one who post it is ignorant and does not know what he or she is talking about. Bitcoin is such a strong systrm and still rising and it does not yet reached its plateau. Volatility is one of the characteristic of bitcoin so prices really go up and down. That is what makes bitcoin profitable. The crypto market is still a growing market. If you want to leave, just leave. Bitcoin doesn’t need a negative person like this one. It is best at the moment to hold and wait for the pric to go up.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reason why Bitcoins is the safest system on: June 07, 2018, 02:33:10 AM
Hey everyone I have heard newbies and other people asking about how safe is the Bitcoins and it's transactions well I think it will be beneficial to have a little discussion on this .

First of all if you own a bank account in a good bank then you should know that its very hard to hack one's bank account, it's almost impossible unless done due to personal flaws, like sharing your key or bank account details or something , you know the system behind Bitcoins and the system behind banking system is same .
Something by the name of cryptography whose Advance form is block chain . It's a complex code involving complex mathematics and the transactions are only completed through very complex and complicated steps impossible to penetrate.
For Bitcoins the same thing operates but with no intervening part or whatsoever , it's p2p direct transactions and this is even more secure and private.

The reason why you hear news like :- someone got their Bitcoins stolen or something is because they have personal flaws , they shared the private keys or the password with someone else..or they used a bad wallet.

It's on you how safe you make it .

Bitcoin is very safe due to its unique algorithm. You do not have to worry because bitcoin is very hard to hack. Yes various syatems have their iwn flaws and also is bitcoin. Also, it depends on the user to take care of her or his own account like choosing a unique and hard to encrypt password. Blockchainis a very safe technology unlike other banks.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will get legitimacy in all countries? on: June 06, 2018, 03:51:17 PM
Many countries think that Bitcoin is harmful for their country. They think that Bitcoin will create inflation in their country. But is that right? Will Bitcoin never get all the legitimacy?

I think bitcoin eill never get legal or legitimacy as your term because that is what bitcoin is, it is decentralized and nobody gets to control it. I does not create inflation in a country but provides opportunities and jobs for those people who need extra job and extra income. Countries just have to open for possibilities that bitcoin can offer.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Keep safe your Bitcoin from hacker on: June 06, 2018, 12:05:17 PM
If you want to secure your bitcoin there are two ways to keep safe it.
1. Online wallets.
2. Hardware wallets.

If you chose  number one you have to take some steps for keep safe your bitcoin.
1. Take a very heard password.
2. Keep your password in a very secure place.
3. Don't save your password in online.
4. Activate two step authentication.
5. Don't share your password to any one.

For your help give some trusted wallet links...
1. https://www.coinbase.com
2. https://www.coinpayments.net
3. https://www.blockchain.com


If you chose number two you have to pay some money for keep safe your bitcoin but i think this is better to keep your bitcoin in a hardware wallet. It is more safe then any online wallets...

For your help i give some trusted hardware wallets link.

I think bitcoin transactions and wallet is hard to hack because of its unique algorithms. However you need to be extra careful in safekeeping our bitcoin wallets just like the basic drill like coming up with the unique password and do not let anyone have an access to it. Also, remember to log out from any devices.

ok, since im really struggling to get some satoshis i am looking for any way to make some.

i watched a video a few days ago on youtube but it was removed now tis on vimeo. what do you guys think is this legit?

https://vimeo.com/273168972

Aside from that, you can join bitcoin campaigns. There is a quite luck in joining trading but you must have the right skills and you must educate yourself and update yourself in the latest trends. Just my advice, it is indeed risky. If you want to earn huge cash immediately, trade in big amount but since you are a newbie, start from the bottom and start small
9  Other / Off-topic / Re: Money for school fees. Invested in bitcoin. on: June 05, 2018, 02:12:35 AM
Hi there! I just need your advice. I invested the money instead of paying my school fees. Yeah, i know this is wrong because education is more important to us and it can't be stealed from us, i'm still studying but my fees will be doubled on the next payment. But i believe this will end a good result. What do you think about this ? Your advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

You know that it is wrong but you still did it. Yes bro it is very risky and we all know that profit is not guaranteed immediately. Prices of bitcoin are also seasonally high and ehat if this the seqson where it will decrease then you will lose money. So next time, think twice, educational fees are still a priority.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin SCAM! on: June 04, 2018, 03:23:20 PM
I was invited by a friend of a friend to invest in Bitcoin last year. He told me that if I invest 5000 in our currency it will be doubled in a month's time. He also promised me that I will get referral fees and override from every person I introduced to Bitcoin and that prices of Bitcoin are expected to increase. To make the story short I did not join because I believe its a pyramiding scam. Truth to be told I did my research on Bitcoin after that and it turn's out that Bitcoin's price was really on rise unfortunately I did not invest at that time. Currently I'm learning more thru this forum and I thank my friend for inviting me here. Just last December I heard from one of my friends that the company they joined was in fact a pyramiding scam and the money they invested in just vanished out of thin air together with the people who invited them. We should be wary of people offering investments and opportunities to us. Do your research. Opportunity comes with risks as well as the rewards. If its too good to be true, it might be a scam. Bitcoin is not a SCAM but there are people who uses Bitcoin to SCAM other people. Good luck to us and more power to Bitcoin!

In every business that you enter, you must do your research and do not just believe in the promises of people who do niy manifest being rich themselves. People are easily catched by instant money but that is not the case for bitcoin, you need patience, strategy and of course knowledge about how it works. Although it is risky, bitcoin is really an very good alternative investment.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin transaction fee keeps increasing? on: June 04, 2018, 05:56:36 AM
Hi guys,i just wanna knows that why the transaction fee for bitcoins is increasing everyday.Some days before i send bitcoin to a trader the fee was 0.0005btc but yesterday i repeat the same transaction same amount then the fee was 0.0006 btc.

Please correct me if i am posted in wrong section. Smiley

If bitcoin transaction is increasing, that is indeed a bad news for everyone who uses it and definitely a bad news and a turn off. However, when it does increase, maybe it is because the value if bitcoin is also increasing. I believe it will still decrease. Just have faith.
12  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Criminals and Bitcoin on: June 03, 2018, 05:28:24 AM
I'm really sorry that these two things could be such as to communicate with each other and many people use bitcoin for illegal purposes and actions

Bitcoin is just the element or the tool which people use, and it depends on the person on how they will use it. We cannot deny the fact that bitcoin can be used by criminals by its anonimity but I think bitcoin management does not want it that way. All we can do in supporting butcoin is use it in a good way possible, by good way I mean legal and doesn’t hurt others.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: The real problem of bitcoin price decline on: June 02, 2018, 09:43:05 AM
The real problem of bitcoin price decline is that more of 50% of cryptocurrency community are most of them ignorant and lazy people , they just follow rumors , they never get news from trusted source , never do research and this what create this panic Sales on the market and this bloody bath that you see right now , they heard about bad news from India so they start selling and never try to understand what was the news and  what is really going on , and did this affects on bitcoin or not , I am sick and tired of those kind of people .
If you don't believe in bitcoin just walk away , we don't need you in our community .

Yes I agree and understand your sentimenta. Bitcoin users mus be knowledgeable on when to sell, all these panic selling is one of the cost of bitcoin price drop. Users must be intelligent and strategic. Also, fake news are everywhere even biased news so we cannot blame some of the pwoplw who really believe in them, I just hope that good news about bitcoin will also come out.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen to bitcoin? on: June 02, 2018, 08:58:28 AM
Bitcoin at the present time resembles as a bubble.Once it goes up, it immediately pops out.  It is normal that the price of bitcoin gets down but it's been a long time since it is on its original value or higher than its real value. Those who invest these past few months are suffering a lot of loaaes and they are losing hope that bitcoin will continue to drastically decrease in value.  Do you have guys some advice for me? It will be really appreciated and I will be eternal grateful.

Just do not worry, it just what bitcoin is, it is so volatile. And when it bubbles, you must take the opportunity and when its pops, know how to stop. So bitcoin users must be also knowledgeable about the movement of bitcoin price. However, no one can really predict when will bitcoin price move up or down just observe and learn.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dealing with Bitcoin or Crypto haters. on: June 01, 2018, 12:23:42 AM
Here's how I have been able to change people's opinion from being haters of Bitcoin to thinking about buying some and even some actually buying some.

I follow these 3 steps/rules that I made:

1. Don't get aggressive:

A lot of bitcoin denier get VERY aggressive about how bitcoin is a scam, don't get aggressive. If they are too aggressive and mad, just change the subject for the moment. No need to waste time.

2. Make them doubt their convictions.


Make them doubt that bitcoin is a scam or doomed to fail. A couple of examples that I use are:

      - This is comparable to when people wouldn't want to use their credit cards online because they were scared of fraud.
   
      - Bitcoin is far from reaching it's full potential, mass adoption takes a lot of time. This is comparable to when Amazon just sold books or Google was nothing compared to Yahoo.. remember Yahoo? (laughs)

      - Crypto currencies are the next steps in the evolution of payment : Barter -> Precious Metals -> Paper Money -> Plastic Cards -> Digital Money

3. Mention the Coinbase $10 when you buy $100 in Bitcoin and then let it simmer...

Let them think about it, they will so their research or ask around. Most will come back to you to get your code for the referral bonus.

Do you have other arguments that you use? I'd love to know.



BTC: 3LcmdDp52oShwv9UTy55vX69JxEibEoKrw
ETH: 0xe822Dc108cb78C9137BF2D92429449B97F1415E0



Bitcoin haters hate because they don’t understand how it works, and they are wasily influenced by bad news. You are right dont be aggressive on them because they will hate you more, hear them out first then assess their wrong notion on bitcoin then explain it yourself to them. When you already corrected their wrong notion, then you educate. Its very eas. All u need for them is to understand.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which is more risky? Bitcoin or bank investment? on: May 31, 2018, 11:33:50 PM
Bitcoin is indeed risky. But bank investments are risky too. In our country (coz I'm not sure if this exist in other countries). When you have a large amount on your account they will call you and ask you if you want to invest, minimum of 20,000 Php (or 400 USD). They will propose some investment plans where there is a choice of low, medium, or high risk investment. When you choose the high risk there is a chance to lose or gain 100% of your investment (Medium is 75% and low is 50% if I remember it right). It doesn't make sense to me, it sounds like a scam, they will invest using your money and you don't have any control to it. That is why I like bitcoin more, coz Though it is risky and it's very volatile, you have full control on your investment.

What do you guys think?

Yes I agree that both bank and bitcoin are risky investment but both have different gains and loses. Interma of bank, they will charge you extra for investing with them as well as transaction and hidden charges. In bitcoin, you have control on your own, you wait for it to grow and you can have a profit. Also there are more opportunities in bitcoin.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin replacing the future banking system ? on: May 28, 2018, 04:36:24 AM
I was thinking about the Bitcoin and it's Future in Banking . can it remplace money in transactions ?

Yes it can replace money especially in terms of online transactions. Since bitcoin transactions are cheaper and easier, it would be more convenient to use. If people just know the benefit of having a purchase in bitcoin. Although I do think that it can replace money in the future, I believe that its not in the near future.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we make sure that our money we invest in Bitcoin is safe? on: May 28, 2018, 02:05:20 AM
I just want to know how those people behind bitcoin secure the money they will invest because as far as I know there are lots of hackers all over the world.

Indeed there are a lot of hackers and eve intelligent hackers in the world but you can secure your bitcoin account by choosing a unique username and password. There are a lot of things to be different and unique so that hackers will not have an access in your account. However, botcoin has a very complicated system which prevents hackers from invading. I believe it is difficult to hack so have faith and just do not worry.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you agree that Bitcoin is nearly to be just like another business? on: May 27, 2018, 10:05:07 PM
More than 50,000 U.S. merchants already accept bitcoin, and you may soon fall behind your competitors if you don’t have a plan for dealing with cryptocurrencies.
Over the short term, it means getting educated about the technology and adapting some business processes. Over the long term, it offers increased simplicity, greater efficiency and lower costs.

Bitcoin already is a business. And it is true that it is the future of dealing with business. This 50k stores were just the first to realize the benefita pf bitcoin as well as its value in the long run. Business owners must also take action for them not to be left behind.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin acceptance on: May 27, 2018, 05:42:01 AM
You can pay with Bitcoin in several stores and even restaurants here in Germany. Are we the only one who have this?  Huh

Here in the Philippines, it is not much known but some food chains especially those who sell pizza can actually buy using bitcoin. In this site calles LifeWire, they eliminated the companies which accepts bitcoin payment and PizzaforCoins is one of them. It is affiliated with Domino, Pioza hut or Papa Johns’s and they will even deliver it to your house. So if you dont have cash, but have bitcoin, try it.
