1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how strong is bitcoin really? on: October 23, 2016, 06:11:32 AM
We know that bitcoin is strong and all the wallets have milletry grade security but one of my stupid friend today said that maybe someone can hack it with just a calculater because with math and correct formulas we can even predict gambling bets if that is possible then maybe there is any chance of this
The bitcoin price has risen about one or two dollars since yesterday, and for some, this is enough to instill a question into their heads… “Is bitcoin finally on the path to recovery?”
Yesterday I spoke of living each day as it comes and not allowing thoughts and emotions to jeopardize one’s status.  Bitcoin, as we’ve all seen, is a mixed portrait; it goes up, it goes down, it goes up, it goes down.  It’s hard to predict where it will go, and many of us are completely shocked when a massive drop like what occurred in January takes place.
In adding to what I wrote yesterday, I will mention that I stand by my original thought that one should neither get too happy nor too down about the bitcoin price.  It’s a fluctuating meter, but if you are going to experience some sort of internal emotion about it all, experience joy.  That’s right… Even a $1-$2 increase like what we’ve recently witnessed is worth a little bit of celebration.  If you’re going to express a thought or a feeling, shouldn’t it be positive?
Because right now there is fear amiss… One of the largest bitcoin companies, Bitreserve, has gone so far as to claim that bitcoin will no longer be around in five years.  This is large and damaging talk indeed, particularly when the company recently raised almost $10 million to grow and further expand its core services.  If what Bitreserve says is true, why go through all that?  Why not just cut ties with digital currency now?

No.  Bitcoin is growing and getting more important.

It's not just bitcoin.  The issue is that the global banking and payments system is fundamentally broken.  Bitcoin is merely one part of general set of financial technologies that will reshape the banking system.

People focus so much on what the price of bitcoin is that they don't look at *how* bitcoin is traded.  Bitcoin is quite interesting because it is the first asset whose trading/exchange infrastructure was created from a clean sheet, and so you have things like 24/7 trading, multiple exchanges, and direct trading with counterparties, that are going to eventually be used to trade everything else.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How exactly does RPC calls work? on: October 23, 2016, 06:08:08 AM
As an analogy, RPC works as a function call. Like a function call, when an RPC is made, the calling arguments are passed to the remote machine and the caller waits for a response to be returned from the remote machine.The client machine makes a procedure call that sends a request which included program number, version number, procedure number & etc to the server and waits. The thread is blocked from processing until either a reply is received, or it times out. When the request arrives, the remote machine calls a dispatch routine that performs the requested service, and sends the reply back to the client procedure. After the RPC call is completed, the client program continues.

FOR THOSE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS FIAT

Fiat Money -Toilet Paper Money

The history of fiat money, to put it kindly, has been one of failure. In fact, EVERY fiat currency since the Romans first began the practice in the first century has ended in devaluation and eventual collapse, of not only the currency, but of the economy that housed the fiat currency as well.

Why would it be different here in the U.S.? Well, in actuality, it hasn’t been. In fact, in our short history, we’ve already had several failed attempts at using paper currency, and it is my opinion that today’s dollars are no different than the continentals issued during the Revolutionary War. But I will get into that in a moment. In the meantime, I will show you that fiat currencies have not been successful, and the only aspect of fiat currencies that have stood the test of time is the inability of political systems to prevent the devaluation and debasement of this toilet paper money by letting the printing presses run wild.
5  Economy / Economics / Re: A look into how the Rothschild´s are controlling centrals banks on: October 23, 2016, 06:01:37 AM
What’s the significance of having a central bank within a country and why should you concern yourself, your family and colleagues?Central banks are illegally created PRIVATE banks that are owned by the Rothschild banking family. The family has been around for more than 230 years and has slithered its way into each country on this planet, threatened every world leader and their governments and cabinets with physical and economic death and destruction, and then emplaced their own people in these central banks to control and manage each country’s pocketbook. Worse, the Rothschilds also control the machinations of each government at the macro level, not concerning themselves with the daily vicissitudes of our individual personal lives. Except when we get too far out of line.he grand plan of The First Sphere of Influence is to create a global mononation. Please do not confuse this with the term globalization. Mononation and globalization couldn’t be more different in concept, scope and purpose. Mononation is one state. It has one government. One set of laws for all ordinary citizens, no laws for the elite. Globalization refers to communicating, trading, interacting, etc. among separate, different, independent, sovereign countries.

The grand plan of The First Sphere of Influence is to create a global mononation.

Our own Federal Reserve is an illegally emplaced private bank that is directly responsible for creating all the US’s depressions, recessions, and the inflation and deflation of our dollar. The Fed controls the printing of our own currency, and then charges the US government interest on those loans. The interest is growing each year, making it difficult if not impossible for our government to pay it. How do we pay this interest? By the US Personal Income Tax. This tax goes to the Rothschild family.

In the coming months, as I continue to gather intel and write a book about The First Sphere of Influence, I will share more and more. For now, I kindly ask that you read each of the 165 lines below. One hundred and sixty-five reasons to believe my intel. You can click on each bank and visit its website. I’ve seen each one. They’re real. And they’re one of the reasons why each country is in such deep debt to this insidious family, the Rothschilds.

By the way, if you’re curious what the US debt is to the BIS, please refer to the table at the end of this article, taken from the latest statistical results provided by the Joint External Debt Hub, which receives data from the BIS, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Sell Everything? on: October 23, 2016, 05:56:34 AM
If you believe it's time to sell, you're in a pretty lofty club
Many investors, in fact, have taken up the bearish cause, yanking money from U.S.-focused stocks and shifting it overseas. By one measure, emerging market equity funds are seeing their largest inflows ever of investor cash. Bonds are raking in money, reflecting the pervasive risk-aversion dominating retail investor sentiment.All of this, of course, is the perfect setup — for a market rally.

Despite a decidedly mild downturn from late July to early August, the stock market has met all the pessimism with a convincing upturn. Not only was the S&P 500 up 6.7 percent year- to date heading into Monday trading, but it has staged a 19 percent rally off the February closing low, a time when it seemed as if U.S. markets were descending into what would be a prolonged funk.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: How would you double $100,000 safely? on: October 23, 2016, 05:54:05 AM
People here keep saying it's impossible, but it sounds to me like you're willing to work alongside your money. If people can make $100,000 working without already having $100,000, then obviously you can make $100,000 with the combined effort of your existing money and your hard work.

So then, ideas....

Buy, Severe, Build On and Resell Property

I've seen people use larger amounts to do this with houses, though I'm sure you could do something similar to ramp up to that level. The basic idea is to buy an old house in an older community that has a larger land plot than the newer homes tend to have. Tear down the old house and severe the plot into two lots. Build a nice house on each and sell each new lot for a significant markup.

In Toronto, just outside of the core, some of the older plots can be purchased for $500,000. The permitting and other stuff can be handled in the 10s of thousands, and each new house can be built for $250,000 in materials and labor. Your total cost is under $1.1MM, and each new lot could easily be sold for $800,000+. That's $500,000 profit. And it can be done in 6 months.

If you look into properties in small towns and add a little creativity you can surely do similar projects on a smaller scale.

Tip #1: Start Investing – The Time To Invest Is Now

 Millennials, here is the best advice you can get: “Buy low and sell high.”  Okay, I’m being facetious, but we are in the middle of the biggest sell off in years, and it is a perfect time to put a toe-in-the-water and start investing. The sky is not falling. This is a correction, mostly due to China’s economic slowdown and fears over climbing interest rates. The truth is that our economy is really recovering and the U.S. remains strong and sound. 

Tip #2: The Miracle Money Can’t Buy – Time

Millennials, you are young and you have time on your side. Even genius, Albert Einstein, is quoted to have said, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world.  He who understands it, earns it…he who doesn’t…pays it.”

“During the 20th century the stock market returned an average of 10.4% a year.  Just $1,000 invested in 1900 would be worth over $19.8 million by the end of 1999.  At a 15% average return per year, it only takes 30 years to turn $15,000 to $1 million.” I’m not saying that we will average 10% returns, but we may.  Millennials, suppose you wanted to start to save now for that new home.  The US average sales price for a new home on July 31, 2015 was $361,600.  That means that the 20% down payment you would probably need is $72,320.  If you invested $160 a week for 7 years and that compounded annually at 7%, according to Bankrate’s calculator, before taxes, you would earn $74,542. The real miracle comes in if you increased the return to 8% and did the same $160 a week, but for 30 years, that’s where you approach the $1,000,000 mark.

 

Tip #3: Buy What You Know

You know what clothes and shoes you wear, you know what electronics you use, you know what you eat, and you know what media you watch and follow.  Those should be your picks for investing.  This is not a new philosophy.  Peter Lynch professed this and it helped to guide Fidelity’s Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, during which time the Funds’ assets grew from $20 million to $14 billion. More recently, investment great, Chuck Carnevale basically professes the same philosophy.  I suggest that parents, when they first introduce their young children to the world of investing, take their kids on a walk through the grocery store and start to talk about the products they buy and why.

Millennials, just take a stroll through the grocery store of your life and you can figure out your own portfolio. The key is to buy and hold your stock regardless of what news you hear in the media and what “great advice” your roommate gives you about a “hot tip.”  Stay your course, make weekly investing a habit and you should do fine.

Tip #4: Make It Simple

The Goldman Sachs survey further revealed that, “About 43 percent of the survey participants said they wouldn’t spend more than an hour getting guidance on an investment, while 13 percent of them said they wouldn’t seek out advice at all.” According to Capital One Investing, in the CNNMoney report, “… young investors are more likely to go it alone when it comes to investing. Eighty-seven percent of millennials say they trust themselves to make investing decisions on their own compared with 68% of seniors.”

You are the mobile generation and there are online and mobile investing platforms that are easy to use and low cost. I work with a company called DriveWealth. They are a broker-dealer who gives low cost access and education to Millennials, who want to get started investing in the stock market. You get to make your own investment decisions.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: The world would be better, if the US dollar... on: October 23, 2016, 05:33:51 AM
This question presupposes that a collapse of the currency will lead to a Mad Max-style anarchy scenario. Anything could happen, and sometimes countries experience unrest during a currency collapse and debt crisis, but normally it isn't the case that this leads to a total collapse of society. What is the case is that imports get more expensive and exports become more competitive. So there wouldn't necessarily be a need to flee America. Instead there would be some nasty rising prices on imports and commodities. But on the plus side, you would have a better chance of succeeding at setting up a manufacturing plant and exporting your goods. So if you're keen on opening a factory and shipping stuff overseas, the U.S. could be a good country to be in when the dollar weakens.

The effect of devalued dollar reserves on foreign countries is less clear and probably depends on each country. But it also seems unlikely that it would lead to a mass collapse of order. In 2008, debt collapsed in value across multiple countries- directly affecting consumers- and none of them fell into disorder.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: October 23, 2016, 05:30:00 AM
Many Bitcoin believers think that the digital currency will one day become the pre-eminent currency of the internet. They basically see it becoming the internet's version of gold in that it's naturally scarce, independent, virtually impossible to manipulate, and crucially suited for a digital world when money ought to be able to be moved seamlessly and at no cost.

Well here's a tip: If you think that this is true, then never use Bitcoin in a transaction.

As more people have gotten into Bitcoin, the price has gone way up.

Virtually everyone who has ever bought anything in Bitcoin has been a huge loser, who would have been better suited just holding onto the Bitcoins instead.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: October 23, 2016, 05:25:47 AM
Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?
What’s the difference between saving and investing?
Saving is putting money aside, bit by bit. You usually save up to pay for something specific, like a holiday, a deposit on a home, or to cover any emergencies that might crop up, like a broken boiler. Saving usually means putting your money into cash products, such as a savings account in a bank or building society.
Investing is taking some of your money and trying to make it grow by buying things you think will increase in value. For example, you might invest in stocks, property, or shares in a fund.

Who should save?

Not sure how much you spend every month? Use the Budget planner to get a clear picture of your finances and work out where you might be able to cut costs.

1. Setting up an emergency fund

Everybody should do their best to build up an emergency savings fund.

The general rule is to have three months’ worth of living expenses saved up in an instant access savings account. This should include rent, food, school fees and any other essential outgoings.

Your emergency fund means you have some financial security if something goes wrong.

2. Keep saving

Now that you’ve got an emergency fund, it’s a good idea to save up at least 10% of your earnings each month (or as much as you can afford).

Set yourself savings goals and put away enough to buy what you want. This could be a house deposit, a wedding, or a trip.

You could also start to think about investing your money.

When shouldn’t you save?

The only time you shouldn’t save, or invest is if there are more important things you need to do with your money.

For example:

Getting your debts under control.
Making sure your family would be able to cope financially if you died.

Are you ready to invest?

Investing can be a great way to get more from your money, but it’s not for everyone. Whether or not it makes sense for you depends on your goals – specifically if they are long, short, or medium term.

Short-term goals are things you plan to do within the next five years
Medium-term goals are things you plan to do within the next 5-10 years
Longer-term goals are ones where you’re won’t need the money for ten years or more
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin replaces the money? Could happen? on: October 23, 2016, 05:22:16 AM
While bitcoin has been dubbed as the worst investment for last year, many enthusiasts still believe that the cryptocurrency can surpass fiat currencies as the main mode of payment around the world. Its scarcity and the use of the blockchain are its defining features but it could also be it source of weakness. Can bitcoin really replace the U.S. dollar or other currencies at some point?Fiat currencies draw their value from being backed by assets or by central banks. In contrast, bitcoin draws its value from scarcity in that there are only a limited number available in circulation or from mining operations. Bitcoin is not dependent on any change in value of underlying assets, such as gold or silver, but is backed by the basic market principles of supply and demand.Bitcoin vs. Fiat
In addition, there is no monetary authority that restricts or boosts the number of bitcoin available, unlike fiat currencies whose levels can be controlled by central banks. There is lower uncertainty associated to this, as bitcoin can’t be used to control inflation or economic growth.The decentralized nature of bitcoin is seen as its main advantage over typical currencies. Bitcoin holders can have full control over their finances, with encryption and automation technologies being enhanced these days. However, it is also this decentralized nature that makes bitcoin prone to security threats and hacking incidents, which have resulted to the loss of funds and the shutdown of some exchanges worldwide.Using bitcoin can transform the global payments arena into an open-source one, which means that its increased adoption can also drive up its value. More and more online merchants and large companies are opening up to the idea of accepting bitcoin payments while clients are also enjoying better transparency, lower costs, and quicker transactions on these.

Looking to earn some extra cash or build up your wealth portfolio? Bitcoin is a great option for doing so. When most people think of earning money through bitcoin, they think about mining and investing in the all-digital currency, but these days there are numerous other methods people can use to generate bitcoin and cash for themselves.Let’s go over some of the most well-known and reliable ways of making money with bitcoin.
