Don´t let you irritate by the Youtube title, Bill Gates says only a few words.

I am very curious about your opinion about this video, it made me thinking, but then Roger Ver popped up and im not sure what I shall think.
Well,now that Mr. Bill Gates aka The richest man on earth himself has told that bitcoin is unstoppable ,maybe people will at least consider on knowing what bitcoin is. But here is a fun fact,neither he nor his company himself use bitcoin because of the volatile and anonymity nature ,which would affect them. Lets wait and see how people are gonna react to bitcoin.

So Bitcoin is better than Gold? Roll Eyes
Sad to say but gold is better than Bitcoin any day. Comparison between gold and Bitcoin is like comparison between US $ and Iran Rial. Sad its indeed when people like to live in the world of fantasies and pretty good looking lies ,but then they do have to face the ugly truth where their world won't come for help.

All this is bull crap. At the end of s07 Daenerys and Jon will be In bed together.  Viserion will become the night King's dragon that is ,yes you know it its a dead dragon killed by the Night King. It will emit blue flames and destroy a part of the wall. Cersei is found in blood shed and her pregnant child( with Jamie ) dies . Jaime Lannister travels to the north because Cersei betrays him. Euron Greyjoy leaves king's landing and goes to pyke. And yes Sansa sentences Little Finger to die and Arya kills him and all the Stark kids reunite . Jon is not a stark and Sam and Bran find out that Jon's real name is Aegon Targaryan son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark. The flashback of the wedding of Jon's parents is shown. The Hound kills a wight in front of Cersei and prove that WW's exist and all are scared for shit. This is just a summary and there is still more to come . If you what to believe it's all false its your wish.
Its true, it's DAMN TRUE.
1244  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Currency on: August 02, 2017, 01:18:58 PM
For the first time, when I look at the offers on LocalBitcoins.com, there are a half-dozen currencies ahead of the US dollar, offering a higher price for Bitcoin than US dollar users.

Euros, South African Rands, New Zealand Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Polish Zloty, Malaysian Ringgits.

It is no longer just the US, EU or even China driving adoption.  There is a market for Bitcoins in major countries all over the world.
Maybe it is a global currency, good that such things happen for Bitcoin.  Bitcoin being traded amongst local currency can not be good option always. People get arrested because of this is what I have heard. But this can also result in good things like when people see with their own eyes that bitcoin is a good thing to invest on. I am glad that some currencies take over the USD $ after many years.
1245  Economy / Speculation / Re: WHEN will BTC rise again and WHY? on: August 01, 2017, 05:55:49 PM
Ive been watching the markets sence bitcoin was 150$/BTC, i have been promoting bitcoin and the use of it for a long time, but why should BTC ever rise again? There have been a peak thru overbuying and now somebody has to pay = coin value drop.

Hard fork, soft fork doesnt matter the value wont rise above 2k$ again?
It wasnt meant to?

I have not sold my Coins but i dont believe in 4-10-100 000$ /BTC
Keep your coins cause the future has already been written in the past and the ink is dry. Bitcoin is something that is not for selling and buying regularly is what I believe, its meant for saving and maybe investment. Don't get me wrong,but everyone has a different opinion on Bitcoin.
1246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: August 01, 2017, 04:56:26 PM
Bitcoin is being used widely in porn sites, gambling and drug dealing sectors. Is that why the btc made for ? I have seen a lot of members in this forum discussing about buying drugs, gambling and enjoying porn with bitcoin. Is not it a misuse of a currency ? Block chain tech is a awesome tech and btc is getting popular. I hate these misuses of precious btc. It hurts me. This will lead into unhealthy society along with unhealthy future generation.
Exactly what I am trying to say people that bitcoin is not you think it is.  People just assume bull crap when they hear stuff and without any proof they make a statement like bitcoin is illegal, it's full of spam and blah and blah and blah..
But yea are you telling that people pay using Bitcoin for watching Porn? What are people in this world up to? Gambling is used widely but I cannot believe the fact that people buy dugs and watch porn using Bitcoin. The world is already full of unhealthy people physically and mentally. You or I single handedly cannot help it.
1247  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: August 01, 2017, 04:00:41 PM
Hello All,

What you think is the best investment to gain steady income in btc without actively doing anything?
So no trading/gambling/loaning etc.

Steady income more likely to be 'small & secure' than 'big & risky'.

Thanks,
BR Oinas
Well getting money for not doing active work is basically free money. But you want to invest, there are lot of places where you can  invest in many sites using Bitcoin but rather be careful because anyone can scam you and put a dagger in you heart (hypothetically),  but if you know someone trust worthy and you are willing to take risk ,go on and be brave out there and I wish you good luck.
1248  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC will up. dont worrry on: August 01, 2017, 03:15:29 PM
as u see . now btc is around 2k4. but i think it will up to 2k8 again. keep it and hope!!!
Everyone knows that bitcoin's price is going to increase making a thread for that is no use. Anyhow Back to the topic Bitcoin is only crypto whose worth is way too much than others and if it goes down ,it will take every other crypto currency down with it. So we can't expect such things like Bitcoin's price going down drastically or getting destroyed for now.  So to survive the price is gonna increase maybe in a bigger margin or small margin or stay stable which is not possible.

BTC value will drop for sure  Smiley
Not sure if this is going to influence the price but it sure is going to cause even worse disbelief amongst people who ain't know shit 'bout  Bitcoin. No offense but that's the truth and what are you going to do people mostly don't change until and unless they learn from their mistakes from the consequences they had to go through.
1250  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin provide income on line? on: July 31, 2017, 08:31:26 PM
many of my friends did not work but a lot of money away was great when compared, to me that is still working in the factory, I was confused from where producer obtained from bitcoin?
Bitcoin provides with very helpful income for me which I am saving for the future. You don't earn much but its more than enough for a secondary income for your household and also working offline is the Best is what I always suggest to any one because of the pay being high than that of online most of the time.
1251  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why BILL GATES do not USE Bitcoin? on: July 31, 2017, 07:17:53 PM
Hello,
I just want to know why Bill Gates do not invest some money in Bitcoin, he will be a very big contributor to the crypto world, and will also be very respected, he will also be able to become more rich (or less).
But what is the reason why he do not invest funds in cryptocurrencies?

Bill Gates would not make such a stupid move,because he or anyone in his place will not want to lose their reputation. The reason why cryptos will ruin his reputation is that bitcoin aint got any owner,he cannot trust a owner-less currency or is it adopted by any country . In a reddit live AMA(ask me anything) question ,when asked do you own any bitcoin or do you use any,Mr.Bill Gates replied,
"Bitcoin is an exciting new technology. For our Foundation work we are doing digital currency to help the poor get banking services. We don’t use bitcoin specifically for two reasons. One is that the poor shouldn’t have a currency whose value goes up and down a lot compared to their local currency. Second is that if a mistake is made in who you pay then you need to be able to reverse it so anonymity wouldn’t work.

Overall financial transactions will get cheaper using the work we do and Bitcoin related approaches.
"
Maybe this is why Mr.Gates doesn't do so.



1252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: July 31, 2017, 05:07:01 PM
What is bitcoin for you? Is it a chance or a scheme to get rich? Or is it actually to keep your wealth to yourself.
What lead you into bitcoin world and what's keeping you here?
Bitcoin is Strong, which attracts people in the first place. It seems to be a good place for investment and saving which attracted me in the first place. I basically like tech related stuff so I liked Bitcoin when I came to know about it. When you believe that something can make you rich ,why not try and put some effort in it?
1253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Criminality and Bitcoin on: July 31, 2017, 04:21:16 PM
https://www.deepdotweb.com/2016/01/23/bitcoin-playing-an-increased-role-in-crime-europol-says/

Would you believe that the existence of bitcoin has increased the number of criminality in  some countries in the world. This is the issue that was being thrown by the EuroPol and the UK Metropolitan Police. According to them bitcoin has played a huge role on the increasing criminality in their area. They added that a huge number of cybercriminals were using bitcoins in their activities.

This just shows that as bitcoin develops both advantages and disadvantages will tag along.
Exactly why a lot of people don't use bitcoin. They are scared because they think that bitcoin is illegal and would lead them to jail. Bitcoin was created for good purposes and yet again mankind never fails to think the other way around and this time its bitcoin. So nothing can be done about the crime but at least we can make sure that we don't throw our lives in the road of crime and screw everyone who trusts us and lead them to a world of sorrow and guilt.





1254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin on the Mars on: July 31, 2017, 02:02:38 PM
Do you think people, once they have populated the Mars, will use Bitcoin there?

I think YES THEY WILL USE BTC ON MARS

I am visionary
What is wrong with people? Bitcoin on mars? Bitcoin is there for only 8-9 years in the world, and people Start making future plans. Yes ,Bitcoin will be used on mars if we "move to mars and start making houses and yes before that we make sure we have enough oxygen for people to live there, since water traces are found by NASA ". Sorry that I talk like that ,but humans moving to mars is going to take a lot of years and don't know if Bitcoin gonna exist till then, if they do that Bitcoin hardly has a chance for being used in Mars.
1255  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I cash out my BTC now? on: July 30, 2017, 07:15:33 PM
If you had your payment in BTC, would you cash out your money or you would wait increasing of cryptocurrency?
Probably save,but when price rises unexpectedly, I would probably sell 50-70% of what I receive as a payment and keep the rest and save it for the future. If I get a profit good for me,if not learn from the mistake and be careful next time and probably use the Bitcoin that I have saved to recover or to cut down my expenses or any emergency  or any important valid reason for that.
1256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: July 30, 2017, 05:13:07 PM
I have heard that bitcoin is not supported in some countries. But why ? Is it because bitcoin is risky ? Some countries even declare 6 months jail if her people use bitcoin. Is it fair ? I mined few cryptos and have left mining. It was fun and challenging too. But I never got any clear answer. What does my gpu actually do ? I pay electric bill, my room temperature goes high and I get paid. With actually no skill on pc hardware and software. Whole thing is still pretty unclear to me
From a country's point of view maybe its right for Bitcoin not supported because of the reasons why:-
Anonymity can cause a lot of troubles for a country, any fraud can use Bitcoin for his payment,for example Wannacry Ransomware attacker/s . Price is high ,they seem to get a reasonable profit.
Also people go for mining not because they know about it, they think they can earn money easily. But only experience will make them realise that bitcoin is not everyone's cup of tea.
1257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if, we advertise bitcoin on T.V.? on: July 30, 2017, 03:02:11 PM
I've just thought about this for a moment but, if we want bitcoin to get more popularity, attention or acceptance would it be nice to make some advertisement about it on T.V.? I don't know if in other countries they advertise bitcoin but in my country, I haven't seen one. How do you think advertising bitcoin will affect the people? Any thoughts?
If you advertise anything, it should be amazing and be at least interesting enough for the idea of bitcoin going in the minds of the people. Maybe people will find the idea of bitcoin interesting just like most of the people in this forum,or maybe not. Because you never know what goes on in people's mind.
Also who advertises a currency on TV that too when it's decentralized, there is no owner. A currency is something that grows into the market and gets popular if people like it or it belongs to a powerful country like USA,UK etc.
1258  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens if we die? on: July 30, 2017, 01:37:20 PM
Nope, this is no existential question (although...). Everybody's talking about "When will Bitcoin die", but what if you die, and your family don't find your key, or don't understand it, or think it's only a useless sheet of paper with some code on it, or simply throw it away... Does this mean the currency's gone forever?

I find the possibility of this event rather realistic (yup I don't believe in eternal life), so that means that someday there might be 21M BTC but only 18M (and counting down...) is left in the market?
Possible. You might lose everything that you had earned with so much hard work and effort, if your parents don't know how to use your Bitcoin and maybe its dumped in some random place then no matter what happens you can't do anything, cause you are dead(no offense).  But then if you have a spouse or children you can tell them about your Bitcoin ,because most of the kids of this and the next generation know how to use modern technology. But if you don't you can teach your parents/siblings as well.
1259  Economy / Economics / Re: Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc on: July 29, 2017, 08:31:46 PM
Does anyone have any idea how many people are using gold as a store of value vs btc?  And how long do you think until we have the same user Base as holders of gold?
Never. Gold is not extinct yet and so many countries hold it as their tradition. Gold exists at least 10 times more than the amount of bitcoin available. You can use Bitcoin on a daily basis for transactions,but who will use gold everyday for transactions? Also gold Is something that is tangible ,valuable,trusted by everyone but bitcoin is not tangible and Its not trusted as well.
