161  Other / Off-topic / Re: What kind of food is good for fat? on: March 15, 2017, 03:22:06 PM
In terms of high calorie nutrient dense foods I would recommend the following:

avocado, nuts, seeds, nut butter, potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown rice, legumes, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread/tortilla/cracker, a lot of meat such as beef, pork,dark chicken/turkey meat, fatty fish such as salmon, organs such as liver, etc.

Whole fat dairy products are also great for calorie and nutrients such as full fat yogurt, cottage cheese, whole fat milk, etc.

I would prefer to use fiat in place of bitcoin for my daily purchases just because fiat has some fixed value. And bitcoin has a potential to grow. Therefore, I will use bitcoin rather as a potential investment. I wouldn't use bitcoin for purchases unless it is really required.

"NOT every muslim is a terrorist AND every terrorist is NOT a muslim"

There are a lot of Non - Muslim terrorist organizations which you can google for yourself. It depends on whom you percieve as a terrorist and your views on what terrorism is.

According to science third eye is a pineal gland so it does exist. The indication of activated third eye is a pulsing sensation in the center of forehead between the eyes. Many people misunderstood third eye with supernatural ability.

Rather when you meditate and feel the third eye, the change is that you can observe your mind as if your mind were another person speaking.  What does that mean?  It means you have objectivity and don't automatically believe your thoughts.  In fact, as your mind thinks a thought with strong belief, you can feel the attachment and often catch what might be incorrect - as if someone else was speaking.  It is often shocking realizing what you believe.  You can see how you operate much more clearly.
165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to Invest BTC? on: March 15, 2017, 01:03:22 PM
If you want to be safe, leave it in bitcoin, and just watch it.

If you want to be risky, invest it in another cryptocurrency (trade the bitcoin on an exchange).

If you want to be really risky, invest it in an ICO (initial coin offering).

The higher the risk, the higher the payout. The higher the risk, the more research you should do before buying in.

Bitcoins Are Independent

Normal currencies all over the world are controlled by a central bank in each country. This means that every aspect of the normal currency is highly influenced by the bank. These aspects include the inflation rates, the amount of currency to be printed as well as the interest rates. However, this particular system does not work with bitcoin as it is not controlled by a particular regulating body.

Bitcoins are independent or what they term as decentralized, thus they are not controlled by the government or financial agencies. The absence of a central entity that controls bitcoins means that the bitcoins can be distributed in a powerful and resilient peer-to-peer network. It can also be transferred from bitcoin users to other users located across the globe without any problems.

There are many critics that claim that bitcoin will fail because of the fact that it is not backed by any regulating body. However, the irony with this claim is that bitcoin seems to perform better year after year. Moreover, it is also not burdened by financial reporting requirements thus contributing to the strong value of bitcoins.
168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you keep your bitcoins? on: March 15, 2017, 09:44:04 AM
I spread mine out between offline paper wallets, my Android wallet, my PC wallet, and a couple online wallets. There is a trade-off between security and convenience. Paper wallets are the most secure, but to do anything with them, you have to sweep the wallet, wait for confirmation, etc. By spreading out your holdings, you protect your holdings by reducing your exposure to any one wallet being compromised. Unfortunately, I had to learn this the hard way
169  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Negative effects of technology on: March 14, 2017, 05:59:00 PM
Technologies allow us to do things efficiently. Therefore, they save our time. Let's imagine that car was never invented and horse was the only mean of transportation. Clearly, it would cost much time to travel to some points in our lifetime.

On the other hand, as the technologies grow rapidly, our economy's dependency to it increases. Human labour is replaced by them. A crucial point that have to be denoted is that the technologies need energy to operate. As I remember, the main source of energy at the moment is that oil. A problem will come up in that event that the oil supply is shrinking Dramastically and the main energy does not move from oil. the global economy system is going to crash and surely this event will cause many victims.

1. Get through Capital Control - There’s actually not few countries having capital control. i.e. there’s limitations of the amount of currency you move in or out the countries. Some people who want to move money out of the countries leverage bitcoin. They buy bitcoin, transfer it outside the countries and exchange back to currencies. That’s a grey area activities in many jurisdictions, as many countries still don’t regard Bitcoin as currency. If Bitcoin is officially regarded as currency then it’s likely illegal

2.Hide Wealth - Some wealthy people who would like to hide some part of their wealth from bank / security accounts. Swiss bank was a good choice to do it but not anymore. The common way is to put cash or valuable goods or commodities (like art piece, gold, diamond) but those take up spaces and you need to find safe space to store them. Bitcoin is one of the very good choice here as it’s digital. You can store your bitcoin even on a piece of paper! (physical wallet)

3.For people with no bank access - There’s still many people in the world that don’t have bank access, while internet access is more easy (what a fun world!). Bitcoin allow them to pay others easier than bank transfer and credit cards for transaction which isn’t face-to-face.
171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is 21million BTC really enough for the wole world? on: March 14, 2017, 05:19:57 PM
Yes. The number of Bitcoins is not as important as the scarcity of Bitcoins.  Since each Bitcoin can be divided into one million bits (1,000,000) or one hundred million Satoshi (100,000,000) I often try to compare bits against fiat currencies instead of entire bitcoins.

1 bit can be divided into 100 Satoshi and 1 Dollar, Euro, Pound, etc. can also only be divided into 100 cents/pence etc. so if we are to compare "equal units" against each other, I think it is better to view 21 million Bitcoins (21,000,000 BTC)  as 2.1 billion bits (2,100,000,000 b) or even as 2.1 trillion Satoshi (2,100,000,000,000 s).

But what I think is most important to realize about Bitcoin is that it is the driving force behind what people are calling "currency competition" and we as people around the world are now far more able to choose what we believe provides us with the best utility
172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children on: March 14, 2017, 01:44:09 PM
In simple words you can that

Bitcoin is like real money.

If you have bitcoin, you can buy stuff with it.

Most stores only take real money and credit cards. But some stores also take bitcoin.

At these special stores, you can use bitcoin to buy what you want, like ice cream. You don't have to use money or credit cards to buy ice cream. You can use bitcoin.

Each bitcon is like a dollar bill in some ways.

Like each dollar bill, each bitcoin has a unique number or i.d.

Like a dollar bill, you know when you give your bitcoin to the store. 

Like a dollar bill, no one except the store and you know that you are paying for ice cream with that bitcoin.

But unlike a dollar bill, anyone with a computer and the I.D. of the bitcoin knows that bitcoin was used and moved from one person to another.

They just don't know who you are or who the store is.

Because anyone can follow a bitcoin by I.D. numbers, bitcoin can be a good way to keep track of things like purchases. It's like a receipt that everyone can see. They know something happened and bitcoin moved. But they don't know who moved it. Or who got it.

Bitcoin can do things real money can not.

"What makes [bitcoin] different is bitcoin can also be the agreement between people. In other words, we make an agreement that says: "Give Billy one bitcoin only after he cleans his room". Once your room is clean, and both of us agree that your room is clean, one bitcoin will automatically go to you.

Yeah..!! Bitcoin Is Becoming The New Gold 2017!!

While gold will always be the first choice of safety net for a purist, the millennial's believe bitcoin to be the new gold or the digital gold.

Now a days, And seems it is truly a digital age, as proved by recent bitcoin high over gold !!The world is increasingly turning to bitcoin as a safe haven..
174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What type of wallet do you use? on: March 14, 2017, 12:32:06 PM
As a cold wallet i use trezor. It is one of the most secure wallets created by Satoshi Labs that stands behind the very first mining pool - slush pool. The code is open source, it’s heavily reviewed by the community and so far couldn’t be hacked.

And for daily purpose operations I use Electrum. As it is easy to use.
175  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: March 14, 2017, 10:07:38 AM
A problem that bitcoin can face in future is
Regulatory lockdown.

Where, as you cited trading, buying and selling of Bitcoins with "traditional" payment instruments would be illegal and a crime. Add to this any support services like exchanges, forums etc. would also be made illegal.

This will essentially kill the currency.
176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin overcome Paypal? on: March 14, 2017, 10:01:58 AM
In future Bitcoin may overcome Paypal due to following reasons:
1. Security - Bitcoin's core is cryptography. The payment method has no databases or accounts that can be hacked.

2. Merchants - Services like Bit-Pay make accepting Bitcoin's rather easy as it allows for funds to be exchanged for domestic currency so exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal.

On top of that, as Bitcoin is essentially a form of digital cash there is no way, as with traditional bank accounts/Paypal etc, that funds can be frozen and payments can be blocked. Thus reducing the chance of fraud to practically 0
177  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing money on bitcoin..! on: March 14, 2017, 09:52:18 AM
Yes.

Bitcoin is viewed as a good investment for 2017. In 2016 Bitcoin outperformed various asset classes like gold, stocks, bonds etc. Bitcoin was the best currency in 2016, where most currencies lost their values, due to inflation, hyperinflation, political instability,and economic policies.

Bitcoin had a great bull run in the last quarter of 2016. Which is expected to continue into 2017 and so on.
178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin business idea on: March 14, 2017, 09:48:16 AM
online education - The bitcoin market is a real market.  I'm pretty sure that you could build an economics and finance course around the bitcoin markets. 

Bitcoin Big Data analytics, this is a very exciting field, look at what QuantaBytes or Coinalytics are doing

Innovate above and beyond the obvious: loyalty and rewards is borderline untouched at the moment due to the semi-anonymity of BTC, what about associating usernames to BTC address and offering rewards at selected retailers?
