5021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin started taking capsule hotels in Japan on: June 25, 2017, 01:05:03 AM
I think there are also some capsule hotels here in my country but haven't experienced sleeping in any of them and I am almost sure that they don't accept bitcoin yet. Must be a cheap place to go to, and if bitcoin is being accepted in Japan already, all the more that people should try these compact sleeping areas,which by the way also looks like one of those machines that make people tan.

It's nice to know that little by little bitcoin were introduced and implemented in any ways possible. Having btc used in Japan were good enough to influence other coun3 to try it implemented.
5022  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens? on: June 25, 2017, 01:01:59 AM
Bitcoin is usually used by people interested in technology. I mean, persons with a certain technical knowledge are interested in bitcoin.

My observations are that way. I think Bitcoin needs to reach larger quantities. Can use bitcoin in people who are not interested in technology?
Can people use the bitcoin in the profession group like tradesmen, teachers, housewives, firemen, butchers? Are we going to see the days that these people use bitcoin?
Ofcoursr they can all use bitcoin but as we all know they cant use bitcoin if they dont know about bitcoin or they are not interested in technology your gonna need technology if they wanted to invest or buy bitcoin in a easy way and we knoe that it will be great if they will use technology.

Bitcoin were produced from technology, it is form to get easily access and send transactions easily . It does not requires any limit or restrictions in any ways to do in bitcoin. It is for everyone and it is for any age.
5023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I buy bitcoins before or after August 1st? on: June 25, 2017, 12:58:06 AM
It depends on you if you buy before or after. But it is better to buy now. If you want to invest or have a business on something you must take the risk. And also im sure that the price of bitcoin will grow more bigger after august no matter what.

if it's after August 1 then we should not buy bitcoin because it will be expensive so buy if its affordable now, if August 1 is true we should have save now so we can join those who will get successful in pump.
5024  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are You Holding On To Your Bitcoin? on: June 25, 2017, 12:54:14 AM
yes sir! holding, saving and still buying bitcoin, good for investment good for future retirement! Cheesy
Good for you that you are already found bitcoin and you believe in bitcoin as a good future retirement fund. As a bitcoin user, we should keep saving and buying bitcoin while we can get it for a cheap rate because after at least 5 years we can see a huge difference in the price and if we have patience enough then we can get a lot of money in that year.

Patience is what we really need to be successful in bitcoin plus being able to study the work and task to earn it so even we not buy we got the opportunity to save some. Your right after 5 years it would be a great chsnce to gain more even 2 to years.
5025  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: June 25, 2017, 12:51:49 AM
You know that bitcoin has a decentralized and anonymous nature. And it can help criminals in doing criminal things that would harm a country. Although bitcoin has its advantages but if the government gets a loss of course the government will ban bitcoin

I think it should be one of the things thats why government dont want to all citizens to use it. Because they think that people only using in for criminal things and when they want to cauht them they wil hardly to do it. Because bitcoin is anonymous they cant easily track the transactions i think it is one of the reasons.

Bitcoin is for the benefits of everyone ,to help us financially and to keep our tract in our transactions easily, its just that in some countries it was abused and they just want to use it to do illegal things which makes the government implement the banning.
5026  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what is the future of the crazy ICO market? on: June 24, 2017, 03:42:12 PM
I still don't know the effect of ICO because Its my first time to invest my time thru signature campaigns in an ICO now also the ICO has Succeeded  and they collected more than 1000+ BTC. Still no idea how to use them in the future.

It depends on ico's objective ,if its for short period or long period of time in usage or in usefullness. Some ico were too interesting that we get attracted to it since it can benefit us long terms like those insurance , funds,banks and especially real estate. It will just depend on what we yhink we need the most that sometime the market adapts.

Anu ang expected date na mtatapos itayo ung mga hubs. Kahit approximate time lng kung kelan magagamit ung space. Sa malamang kc nyan. Mas lalong tataas value ng token kapag operating na ung mga hubs.

Typical time duration ng construction ng building ay umaabot ng 2-3 years. Pero mas mabilis kung hindi puro concrete or madmeng glass/cladding ung building. Pero ang alam ko. Uso n ang precast sa ibang bansa kaya kahit 1 year kaya ng tapusin mga high rise building.

Kung precast nga gagamin panigurado matatapos agad yan kaso masyadong mahal at malaki talaga gagastusin sa pagbuo ng building, kung ipreprecast nila lahat ng building na itatayo hindi ba kukulangin allocated budget nun.
5028  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Tell me best coin to keep for long on: June 24, 2017, 03:26:07 PM
There is no best coin. But i believe in IOTA. And add some waves and etc to your portfolio and check again 6 months later. You ll see you gained minimum x4 in this period

BTC and ETH, both can be good for holding in long run , though I think any potential coins which have a good overview can pump in its unexpected time like what coins doing now even they were created evem before.
5029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not. on: June 24, 2017, 01:52:14 PM
Today Ethereum price is above $350 though you were forecasting $150. I do view bitcoin as a gold standard for others altcoins and no matter how the Ethereum raise it might not taking bitcoin place of leading others crytocurrency. Ethereum is wide and bitcoins is slip.

Ethereum might be in hype and have lots of improvement but its basis or origin were still based on bitcoin, bitcoin being having greater amount and features ability and being able to easily adopt by its user makes btc greater than eth knowing soon it can pump again.
5030  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? on: June 24, 2017, 01:46:21 PM
I try and give some BTC to people that are already interested in how it works etc. However with current high fees that's not very economical.
Obviously I talk about it and try to explain why it's revolutionary tech that's here to stay. Unfortunatelly people still tend to associate it with drugs/online crime or they fear it is "created" to get rid of cash. And you won't believe how hard it is to get the facts straight for some people.

Whenever I talk to someone via email, chat etc. about the topic I try to send them a link to Andreas Antonopoulos' videos. He has some great talks explaining bitcoin to newbs and is the man that brought me into crypto.
Newbies were hard to convince but when we show some proofs that there are really that get to be successful in btc they might really get an interest. I tried to convince them that its a way of new banking in different currency same with as a investment process.
5031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin ending up like Yahoo in the future? on: June 24, 2017, 04:09:55 AM
Yahoo was the first (?) search engine at the time when Internet started.  It was the pioneer in its field.  In the late 90's its market cap reached to a high closed to $120B.   Three and a half years after Yahoo started, Google came out and gradually took away market share from Yahoo.

After 22 years, Verizon bought it for $4.8B.  Would Bitcoin ending up like Yahoo in the future and got beat up by new competitions?

What do you think?  Please provide your reason(s) to support your view.

There are possibilities that as you said that it will happen, there are no impossible in this world we live in but in my opinion bitcoin is different many people depend on bitcoin and bitcoin was the very first that cryptocurrency that came out. It is hard to predict if that will happen but there is a possibility on it but the chances are low because as we can see in market cap other coins are increasing but not as like as bitcoin, ETH is incredibly increasing but so as bitcoin so its hard to know if it will happen or not and when it will happen. For yahoo, yes it was at highest point when google was still not discovered but yahoo and google are search engines they are not cryptocurrency that many people can invest on them. Unlike bitcoin many people can invest even if your not rich and high but we don't know the future and who knows what will happen we just gotta wait see.  Wink

Yahoo overtakes by google same with friendster to facebook, those were web pages in different purposes that can easily change too since there are more sites that can be a substitute to them, same with Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency and with ETH or any other alts, this cryptocurrency have lots of benefit financially in diff. value which is hard to replace easily since theres something to risk not only our accounts but we have investments or savings on it. But still we can't tell what may happen.
5032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what is the future of the crazy ICO market? on: June 24, 2017, 03:44:10 AM
Some of the ICO right now will just be succeeded in long term and most of them will just create hype and it will be gone as well as the team and development. So it is best to be careful in investing in ICO because they are all mushroom that are keep popping out now and if you are just greedy and all you do is invest and invest without research and proper source of decision then you will just get rekt and lose money.

not really understanding how people cant see how scammy icos are? i guess after a few run off with the money or something else horrible happens maybe people will wake up

To say scammy for a project, the team does not need to run off with the funds. They collect the money but they don't do anything they promised, development road map, prototype etc. ICO market will crash hard soon.

For Icos now were really too fast in developing some projects,its good to have a research first and check teams previous project if it went well or have issues. We can really gained in investing but we need to be smart on choosing.
5033  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin heading to $4,000 on: June 21, 2017, 12:20:44 AM
Volatility goes both ways and you're essentially asking for Bitcoin to gain an additional $1,300 per piece and multiply the market cap by 1.33x. That's a nutty number to think about when it comes to basically any kind of asset, whether it is a stock or a commodity.
$4000 is out of reach for now. We haven't even broken $3,000 and there's all sorts of buywalls set up so that it has a hard time getting that far.
Essentially it is a very huge number but if any investment has the same potential i would go with bitcoin as it has the ability to raise that much in a very short amount of time,you really cannot find a stock or a commodity that would grow this much in a very short amount of time,but bitcoin proved time and again that it could increase its valuation within a short period of time,once we break $3000 the next target will be $4000.

$3000 were reached last month then suddenly dump, meaning btc can really goes that high amount so reaching $4000 is not really impossible to happen when btc pump again.
5034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: August 1 needs to be today... on: June 21, 2017, 12:13:44 AM
I heard that in august we will see the hard fork of bitcoin hoping that we can see the improvement about bitcoin.. if not like you said other people can be transfer to other altcoin instead.. but i don't think if its a good idea but saving other altcoin just to be safe and maybe other altcoin will be replace bitcoin  its just my opinion that invest in other altcoin just for safety reason to get the benefits of the price or if bitcoin will crash a lot..

I think bitcoin will not crash ,still many btc users were buying it , it just happen that more also were just storing it in their wallet so btc market not works well or due to delays and fees, btc needs to fix and work things out. For the meantime its also good to put some in altcoins.
5035  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It's still really hard to use bitcoin as a regular currency on: June 21, 2017, 12:06:57 AM
Because bitcoin is cannot be use today in buying things in the store so obviously you can really use it as a currency today but i guess it will be in the future because of it is a technology and it will be the future of thethe currency because of the perk it gives.

Chances were big enough to continue to save for future usage of btc, for now it may be too hard to bought things using it. Japan were already implemented btc as payment so they might anle to development machines or application accepting btc in buyinh in stores.
5036  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: If you open a bank account in a country which has no BTC tax on: June 19, 2017, 10:25:15 AM
Are there any countries that tax bitcoin? How?



Maybe those countries that implemented it like Japan, but I don't know yet the process on how they put tax on it. There were lots of countries open btc as their transaction payments some mau put tax on it.
5037  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC is a roller coaster on: June 19, 2017, 10:14:39 AM
I don't think this is anything to worry about since bitcoin was always this way. Bitcoin is a decentralised coin so what usually causes this is the supply and demand. It is no wonder why bitcoin can rise and fall in price so quickly.
 
Like a lot the people on the thread imagine bitcoin as a rollercoaster and currently It is the section where the rollercoaster is slowly going up and no one knows when the rollercoaster will stop and fall, maybe this roller coaster will take us all the way to riches. Have faith in Bitcoin.
 
In my opinion, I think that the future market of bitcoin will be great, this fall will give opening to many more investors to come into the market and all the more for the ride. Prepare for bitcoin to fall and rise but in the long run, I do think profit will be made.


This situation happens a lot of times before its not a new thing that bitcoin pumps and dumps, This just show that btc were still used by whales and a lot of newbies were trying their luck in btc.
5038  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is all over the mainstream media lately on: June 19, 2017, 10:05:22 AM
I have seen bitcoin mentioned in TV and radio programs in the past hours due the ramsomware attack. Some people did a surprisingly good job at promoting it as a neutral tool and not as a tool for criminals, drug dealers and so on, so that was positive.

Did you see it on the mainstream media in your country? what did they say?

Im also wondering if all publicity is good publicity or not. Im not sure if the fact that being linked to the ramsomware thing is good even if it helps spreading BTC out, but most people are idiots and will not research further so it all comes down to how much of a good job the person explaining BTC does.
Wow thats great. Bitcoin is now introduced to them. They will now get interested on bitcoin and they will have an investment on it. And therefpre the demand might be increase as well.it will be more popular than the others. And i think the value of it will increase too.

Mass adoption may lead to price rise so its will be for the benefit of everyone. I'd been seeing a lot of Ico ads in every sites that I'm viewing. So in time many newbie will be here.
5039  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: June 19, 2017, 09:34:49 AM
Yes, price of bitcoin have matter, because if the price of bitcoin had no matter why a lot of people were wants to earn bitcoin? Because they want to exchange into real money.

All aspects that make bitcoin, matters.
Especially the value. The value determines the price.
We always look after the price. How far it would go. Its pump and dump.
As today's price is decreasing, its good to buy now for us to make a big profit.

Value or the price of bitcoin is one of the most matter because if bitcoin will not that high right now then the miners will just leave bitcoin and transfer to other coins like ethereum and they will just continue mining their and leave bitcoin in the dust. Most of the people wants high value because that is one of the easiest way to tell that it is a good investment.
If the price is high, thats the good time to influence others . Bitcoin price is the reason why I joined btc ,but lately im entering also in alts but will still left some amount in btc since for sure soon it will pump again.

That would be great. At least they can record it and we can watch it later.

I'll definitely watch it if ever,their facebook page is active so theres a possibility to record it,its good to interact in live vid.
