5223  Economy / Speculation / Re: How long until India "bans" bitcoin and it's effects? on: December 29, 2016, 05:32:09 AM
They'll ban gold before they ban bitcoin. Bitcoin is still deep under the radar in India, only a few people in the loop know about it.
I totally agree with your words that bitcoins is still deep under the radar in India.No body can even think about bitcoin as there are lot other major issues.No body talks about bitcoins and is never trending in india,so i dont think any thing will happen about bitcoin in India any time soon.
Even I doubt that more than 20% Indians know bitcoin and the active users must be lesser than the amount of people who "only" know bitcoin. Gold was very known in India by almost everyone while bitcoin is a small thing for them, that's why I'm sure that government will not really be giving attention onto bitcoin until at least bitcoin becoming as popular as gold
5224  Economy / Economics / Re: How a cashless society could kill Bitcoin. on: December 29, 2016, 05:28:22 AM
Well I see it as battle of centralized and decentralized system where centralized have an edge over that decentralized system since the first one is supported by the government.  Having said that there is an authority behind cashless society, there is a big chance that it will kill bitcoin because it already do the supposed to be function of bitcoin.  Aside from same sort had been tested for several decade now and had been proven to work great unlike bitcoin which is at its early phase of development and application. 
So one factor that cashless society could possibly kill bitcoin by making the government to eliminate competition and that is banning bitcoin or same sort of decentralized cryptocurrency.
A cashless society may happen but it is not going to happen everywhere at the same time, it will happen sooner in the developed countries, but in poorer countries cash will keep on existing so a possible solution for some time will be if you live in a cashless society is to buy cash from other countries and then use that cash to buy bitcoin and once you have it you can use the same channels as before to buy stuff with bitcoin like purse.io.
I agree with you on that, the fact that majority of the world's population are still living in poverty, they are not subject for a change in the future as they will still continue with the old ways.
That poverty is really a problem that can't be wiped out from a century ago until now or even longer and it means that waiting until poverty cleared is such a waste of time. Technology must be developed with the cheapest possible to make those poor people could afford the technologies thus they can be getting involved into cashless society
5225  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Bitcoin and real money? on: December 29, 2016, 04:15:20 AM
Give or take we all spend money one way or another. Was is fiat or bitcoin we at the end spend it for something. Bigger issues is that sometimes you have bitcoin and you need cash fast takes days to serve all out, but this is something i hope it will be resolved in near future for all to pay/spend bitcoin/fiat not you with cash only. I just hope that i will live to see this happening.


Yea most hope for that to happen  that we dont need to exchange  btc to fiat and that we can do every day shopping  with btc.
And true we have to exchange  btc to spend it

I think maybe bitcoin will be more mainstream before we get a solution. And if more people prefer bitcoin to cash? then cash will die for sure.
The fact that most of the bitcoin users when they need to buy stuff or in need of something in real life always convert their bitcoin to cash. If bitcoin users still keeping up this tradition then cash will not go to die and impossible to die. Although the government will not give up on defending their local currency easily so there may exist some prevention
5226  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: December 29, 2016, 04:09:27 AM
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.
Some people just prefer bitcoin over fiat simply because it is way easier to get bitcoin and to earn it the real money, from my own experience I have tried to earn some cash from the internet but with no luck.

Until I found out about bitcoin, it is true that I cannot live without fiat because it is what the world is used to , but using bitcoin is a much profitable than using my local fiat.
I don't think earning bitcoin is easier than fiat, I think what happens is there are a lot of restrictions to earn fiat that simply don't exist in the bitcoin world, if you want to earn fiat  you will probably need a paypal account and you will need to verify your identity at some point to paypal and whatever website you are using to earn money, in bitcoin there is nothing like that.
Yes restrictions are there it will take some time to verify, but it's safe money. We can use that money easily no one will ask any question. But Bitcoin transaction is very tough you can not make any legal transaction through bitcoin. It's not possible. Yes, people are using this bitcoin for an illegal purpose, but this bitcoin become very popular because of this illegal activity(gambling).
I think that not every country prohibit gambling activities or even banned it and consider it as an illegal activity so, it's not suited well to consider gambling as an illegal activity based on "few" region which banned it
So your supposition that illegal activity is making bitcoin very popular is not fully right. However bitcoin popular because of many factors and as far as I know most people interested to be bitcoin users due to its volatility that can bring them good profit if they can manage
5227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin ever goes mainstream on: December 29, 2016, 02:38:02 AM
bitcoin is strong and had a powerful network of many nodes .governments will try their best to crush bitcoin system some for their selfishness and some for their narrow mind but it will effect on us but if we seffer that then we will be at mainstream
I think they are not interested to crush bitcoin system.. instead they will accept bitcoin in their community for getting a more tax..
Governments are corrupt and they will make a way to get more money to us..
If bitcoin were accepted by the governments I think the tax will remain the same or a little bit higher(If people becoming more consumptive due to the acceptance of bitcoin ) because basically when people are going to buy stuff with bitcoin the governments can't directly taxing it but through some sort of merchants or even taxing the company so it's the same when people are buying things with fiat or when bitcoin users exchanging their bitcoin to fiat, won't make any big difference
5228  Economy / Economics / Re: Businesses you can run from anywhere for under $1,000 on: December 29, 2016, 12:33:52 AM
If you have skill you can create HYIP website (website designer) then you can earn money from it. It defends upon to your settings. If you like to double your bitcoin during the set of your time go for it. As far I know many investors know about the rules and principles of HYIP website so do not worry just go for your good. The house is always win.
Your advice is like telling "You can scam and steal money from people by creating another shitty HYIP" and keep in mind that anyone who participated into HYIP most of them are getting lured by referrals hunters whose life are to make people getting scammed in every HYIP and repeating its shitty life cycle for the sake of few cents from every new HYIP created
5229  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: what happens if on: December 29, 2016, 12:26:34 AM
Once blockchain.info had been hacked if the hackers were owning the data which includes all the private key then you're done but you still have the time to send the bitcoin from your address to the newest one by submitting your private key to another wallet and then you will own your address back, as long as you're faster than the hacker because the bitcoins were distributed into many addresses and unlike exchangers which centralize their bitcoins into one wallet called hot wallet so the hackers will have inconvenience regarding to how they can steal the whole bitcoin inside the private key they have owned from the database CMIIW
and about password, even if you have such a super strong password but if the hackers were owning the database containing list of users' password and without any encryption by the blockchain.info themselves then whether your password was strong or not it really doesn't matter, your password will more likely to be leaked or revealed easily from the database
5230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin without Altcoin ? on: December 29, 2016, 12:20:41 AM
Most altcoins are garbage, but there are a few that did advance the blockchain technologies and made us better understanding the cybercurrency. Yet none will ever getting close to bitcoin.
Some of them only but it's easy to spot the legitimate altcoins, you have to make sure you invest in a big funded ICO and altcoins that has a good roadmap.
Big funded ICO doesn't really guarantee that the project will be a success and bring you decent profit in the future. I've seen so damn many ICO project out there which could only gain about less than hundreds of bitcoin but the project was successfully launched and even after the ICO were done the price of those coins still rising. It's depend on how the devs could make up its popularity
5231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Starbucks accepting bitcoin on: December 29, 2016, 12:09:07 AM
Even if it is an indirect use of Bitcoin, it's still good news. Bitcoin could be behind the scenes as a means of transferring money in many ways.
I guess in this case people don't really care whether it's indirect or direct use of bitcoin but they just care about how they could pay off a cup of coffee in Starbucks by using bitcoin and make their bitcoin have an additional function even a little. In other words, it's matter drink and when people drinking they don't give attention to the blockchain system
5232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 3 ways to grow more bitcoins and ways to lose it on: December 29, 2016, 12:04:55 AM
This is the 3 ways i know when you want to grow your bitcoins

* Trading
* Investment
* Investing in Lending

And this the 3 ways how to lose all your bitcoins

* Gambling
* Greedy decision on investing on ICO's
* HYIP Investment

Those 3 ways of growing and losing bitcoin is based on my experience and i hope that it can help you to make better decision on choosing where will you invest your bitcoins.
Gambling and trading should be considered as a mean of lose and growing bitcoin , they both have risks , but gambling has more risks then trading , the bigger the risk the bigger the wine ,  there is no fast way to getting rich , if you want bitcoin you have to work for it , learn a skill and offer your services for bitcoin , or join a signature campaign and work you rank up so you grow more bitcoin
Assuming that you actually have experience when it comes to trading, it is incredibly easy to make a lot of money off of it and watching trends. Again, that comes down to experience. if you don't have the experience then it is incredibly more difficult for a decent profit to be made.

A lot of forex experience can translate very well into the cryptocurrency market, so I expect some riskier investors to be using altcoin trading a fair amount.
Well, as I've heard from many of forex traders saying that cryptocurrencies trading is far easier than forex trading so, I guess they could maximise their potential in gaining the profit
But in my opinion that the fact is both actually have the same level of difficulties thus people can't that easily making a profit as for some prove that those forex traders didn't instantly rich
when it comes to crypto trading
5233  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin better or paypal? on: December 28, 2016, 01:14:10 AM
In many ways, Yes it is. Way better than Paypal. The main advantage is that Bitcoin is not a company as Paypal is. Paypal does whatever it wants, takes a lot of fees, chargeback process is hectic and service is pathetic. Angry
They're charging a lot of fees to pay their employees, having profit, and paying taxes to their government. it's not a non-profit company that works for charities, they're building this company in order to get profit
So, they must charge pretty high fees otherwise, they will bankrupt if they don't. That does make sense why paypal is charging pretty high fees if you compare to bitcoin which is definitely not a company
5234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: December 28, 2016, 01:04:54 AM
Some countries do not like the bitcoin as it can destroy their own economy due to that they do not want it in their own country..
Bitcoin cannot destroy the economy, since bitcoin is money then it is the opposite, bitcoin was created to help the economy to flourish by offering a new version of money that is the most practical yet devised by humans what it can do is to limit the power of governments.

Limiting the power of governments on controlling their own economy because of bitcoin is becoming their primary currency is indirectly destroying the economy. If bitcoin becoming just 2nd option or an alternative currency then it's definitely fine but different if bitcoin is really dominating the whole economy of a country and government can't do anything, there might be many criminalities occur due to this case and probably people will take advantages of each other
5235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this true or a speculation on: December 28, 2016, 12:40:32 AM
Somewhere while surfing I read popular sites often makes less known sites use the money to pay first then scam and then continue on the popular sites. Could this also be happening in the Bitcoin industry. Start a roll dice or casino, open a hyip and then hyip goes scam and front site continues, no one comes to know. Or this is purely speculation, none of this happens?

Ponzi schemes. Just like a HYIP site only those who are first will be paid and sadly those who joined late got scammed. Many sites does that, that's why we have trust issues on a site, we need assurance that they will last long. But nothing last forever aight? so that's why we need to be wiser than anyone. When you join a HYIP site just predict when will they run. And withdraw all your balance before they run.
That's like a gamble then. You can run from an HYIP site before it's turning out to be scam site but only if you know how's the characteristic, otherwise you will lose what you've invested with huge risks there
and every HYIP have different timing so, hit and run method is not really effective on this case
5236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we need ebay like site to promote bitcoin on: December 28, 2016, 12:22:03 AM
we need all the helped we can get to promote bitcoin, ebay or other big company will be a great place yo advertise and promote bitcoin because the reputation for the site already good and there are a lot of traffic coming to the site, so it will be a great option to add more new user to bitcoin world

That's right everything that has something to do for the promotion of bitcoin is really needed and that can boost the demand of bitcoin by informing their potential customers. Just take a look at steam's acceptance of bitcoin, I'm pretty sure that helped a lot for the economy of bitcoin by informing their players that they are already accepting bitcoin.
My opinion by looking on steam which is accepting bitcoin the steam users themselves often don't give a shit and the news are spreading a lot but only among bitcoin users. Most of the people still use their payment option as before and seem that not going to own bitcoin or even learning about bitcoin furthermore. People are always seeking for the easiest way and as long they could go through into it, they will stay
I think that the acceptance of bitcoin in many stores will help the bitcoin users but not so effective for attracting people to learn bitcoin nor for advertisement
5237  Economy / Economics / Re: Next generation money on: December 27, 2016, 08:10:32 AM
No it will not  be totally different currency .but it will bitcoins but it will not be totally different .and there will be fiat system and which will continue till it does not end.
yeah I think the currency future will not be much different from now, fiat will always be the main currency in the world but the form of fiat currency may be different versions, may be in digital form instead of cash
Fiat currency would really still remain in the future but we could able to say that those fiat would be digitalize because technology does really evolve very fast and having a cashless world would be possible but i dont think that bitcoin would able to get that place because government will surely create its own digital centralized currency.
Actually, those fiats were already having its digital form or in other words in form of balance just see when you're saving up your money on your bank then your money will be exchanged to some account's balance and you can just transfer it if you're going to buy something online and it's already centralized as you spoken. it just matters about the time until the government developing this thing until reached the most advanced way and probably make it even more digitalized
5238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do Bitcoins have Tax?? on: December 27, 2016, 07:49:58 AM
In my opinion bitcoin doesn't need tax, because it's digital currency.
That's joke of the day LOL. Bitcoin doesn't need tax because bitcoin it's a currency as you spoken before, neither government nor organisation, the ones who need tax is the government where you're living. The tax will be used to provide services to their citizens and to make their life easier. That's why they need to get an income from the taxes as much as they can
5239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: December 27, 2016, 07:43:59 AM
Trading is the best source of bitcoin bitcoin because we earn bitcoin with easily through trading and there is a lot of people are earning bitcoin in huge amount through trading and trading is the safe investment.
If trading is as easy as you mentioned then why so many traders don't get instant money and all becoming rich? Trading is not that easy, and sometimes you could lose many in just a few mistakes you've made
Every movement you are going to make need to be the wisest move, it's about money and not just useless coin
5240  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much transactions fees? on: December 27, 2016, 06:46:06 AM
When coinwallet.eu is doing their stress tests they use a fee of .0005 btc, so if you are in a hurry you need to match that fee or increase to .0006.
I think the fee was too high. BTC 0.0006 is equivalent to $ 0.42 even possible when you use paypal. you will not get a transaction fee as expensive as it was, I used to use fee 10k satoshi, but I had to wait for more than one day to receive my bitcoin
Having a small fee for your transaction have nothing to do with when you will receive bitcoin because after the sender clicking the send button the bitcoin will arrive into your wallet immediately but the fee affects the confirmation and could make it delayed. I thought that 10k satoshi is pretty low fee and AFAIK fee are now increasing a little bit but I'm sure that having 10k satoshi as a fee won't make your transaction not confirmed for a whole day, i often use the same fee though
