I'm good as i can save some bucks to buy when i crave for food that i want. I can also save money for long term to buy a new gadget for myself. It's really hard to manage money because you have many things first to manage your money wisely.
That's not actually saving to be honest. You just hold your money for a while because it wasn't enough to buy the food or the gadget that you needed. You're still overspending in a way. You're still using your money to buy expensive stuffs but just in a different time. That's sort of the the illusion that we get when we save money. Save money and then use it for investment and not to buy something you simply can't afford at the time that you "saved" your money.
1862  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best Bitcoin Business To Create? on: October 25, 2016, 11:43:42 PM
Just a matter of observation, it's kind of hard to get bitcoin souvenir items because most of them are coming from abroad. I guess it might not be the best bitcoin business but it's actually good to have your own shop in a country that sells bitcoin items. In this case, people can buy from you online but the shipping would be much less. Thus, having them buy from you whenever they feel like it.

It's also a good way to promote bitcoin in your area. It's a good way to raise the awareness of people around you about crypto-currency.
1863  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Minecraft: Use and earn bitcoin inside the game on: October 25, 2016, 11:22:42 PM
There's already a way to earn bitcoins or money in general in minecraft. It's when you make your own server. I heard that players are buying positions/titles and stuff in minecraft. The only one who's earning is the owner and the co-owners of the server so you have to be the owner of the website.

Anyway, any game that let's you earn money would never give you that much anyway except for games like CS:GO and DotA2 where people actually spend a lot of money for the skins and items.
1864  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you use a bot for trading? on: October 25, 2016, 11:18:05 PM
There's not that much point of using a bot in trading. It cannot fasten up the process. People will buy when they want, and people will sell when they want. Your bot cannot control other people's decision. Running a bot would also require your PC to be open 24/7. If you're not earning that much profit anyways, then you're just wasting your time. Moreover, I think the use of bots is actually not allowed. This one's from YoBit:

1865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what happen with bitcoin after not mineable? on: October 25, 2016, 10:27:34 PM
Bitcoin will always be mineable. In case nobody keeps their interest in mining, I guess Bitcoin will come to an end. Mining is, in my opinion, the fundamental thing that keeps Bitcoin up. Mining requires buying new rigs every X months, which mean new investments. To have a constant profit, you need a higher Bitcoin price as the rigs will keep increasing in costs.
A lot of people thinks that having no miners will not put bitcoin to an end. It's actually the other way around. Bitcoin has been put to an end by 'something' that's why there's no more miners.

Miners can always mine blocks, even after the block reward becomes zero. The number of blocks that can be mined is not limited - what is limited is just the number of blocks with rewards.

What will be interesting is how many miners keep their equipment mining BTC at this point and how many switch miners off/ to another coin,
and the effect it has on the network, confirmation times etc.
I'm not sure I've seen any information on the predicted effect this will have.
That's far away from today to be worried about. Just like the old saying, "We'll cross the bridge when we get there." People worry about things that will happen in the future most of the time. But to give you a heads-up, the confirmation time will be slow at that point and then go back to normal in the next difficulty adjustment period. When we're almost at that point, you'd see discussions about that topic in this place more often.
1866  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How to register for signature campaigns? on: October 25, 2016, 10:19:17 PM
Hello I appreciate all of your help on my previous posts, and I saw somebody recommending me some signature campaigns work, to make my first BTC. I am completely new to that, so I know nothing about it. I heard you get paid for every post you make on the forums?

Most of you have signature campaigns on their signatures, so how do I get one? Where do I sign up? It seems cool, I know it's not an instant way to make some BTC, but it is good. 
Please link me the site where I can register for a signature, and put that campaign on my signature here in BTC and start earning. Ty.  Smiley
You're not just completely new to signature campaigns, but you're also completely new to this forum and to bitcoin as well. You have to be knowledgeable about bitcoins to have a decent discussion with people in this place. I can only think of you asking questions like this when you get into a signature campaign instead of answering questions.

My advice is to learn tons of things about bitcoin before you join signature campaign. You have no other choice anyway because you have to wait for months before you rank up.

1868  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How do you know when a site tries to scam you? on: October 25, 2016, 08:12:29 AM
It actually pretty obvious. Scam sites are not well made. Those are just websites that are made to scam people so no need to spend money in purchasing a good website design, right? The website owners just have to look for the right victim. What is an MM website by the way? I know MLM but not MM. Just remember that any offer that is too good to be true is automatically a scam. There's no easy way in earning money.
1869  Economy / Economics / Re: Currency v Property on: October 25, 2016, 05:49:25 AM
I agree with OP that bitcoin can also be seen as a property because you hold ownership of your coins and later on you can sell them for a higher price. But unlike properties in real life, bitcoin can be used directly to buy something. There are never ending discussions about this. It's not like we  can't look at it as both currency and property, of course we can.
1870  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin has power nowadays ? on: October 25, 2016, 05:15:26 AM
Bitcoin has a lot of potential power ever since. We just didn't believe in it on the start. Bitcoin is the first crypto-currency ever, it's the most successful one. If ever there are altcoins out there that would rise and get a lot of investors, it will increase the popularity of bitcoin. Bitcoin is very popular now and a lot of people uses it. Some establishments are starting to accept it too which gives bitcoin more exposure to the public.
1871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Mining Just Stopped? on: October 25, 2016, 05:01:11 AM
What would happen if all these large mining farms just up and quit business?  They have allow of money in bitcoin and all, but what if one of them decided to try to pump the price and then just stopped mining, or just stopped mining for some reason.   Is there enough power throughout the rest of the world to keep bitcoin running and confirming?
There would be people spamming this whole forum ranting about how slow the transaction of bitcoin is.

Fool will be the one that stopped mining, he won't make money anymore and he will have a lot of equipments abandoned.
I can't imagine what would happen to the miners once all the bitcoins has been mined. Bitcoin always give miners a reward to continue mining and keeping the network secure. They are only mining to get bitcoins, but what if there's nothing left to mine. In addition to the reasons why would someone stop mining, what if something kills bitcoin? Of course the miners would have to leave mining bitcoins because bitcoin is already dead.
1872  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price just broked $650, so we next stop will be $700 by end of this week on: October 25, 2016, 04:52:37 AM
OP pictured out the market of bitcoin to increase in such short period of time. When the price pumps, it's more likely for it to decrease sooner than to increase. Even though the price of bitcoin is actually pointed upward, there would always still be some minor and major dump simply because that's how it works. When the price of bitcoin increases, people take advantage of that situation and sells some coin.
1873  Economy / Economics / Re: Spending Bitcoins on: October 24, 2016, 10:13:02 AM
I guess the reason why I cannot use bitcoin in a day to day basis is because the price of it is not stable. You might be buying an item now for 0.001BTC and then the next day it's just 0.0008BTC. You just lost 0.0002BTC in that case. I know it's not that much difference in other people's perspective but it's also applicable with bigger transactions and the bigger the transaction, the bigger loss you'll get if the price of bitcoin moves. On a more happier thought, you can also save money with this price fluctuations.
1874  Other / Off-topic / Re: if you could change one thing about btc, what would that be? on: October 24, 2016, 10:08:44 AM
The number of scammers is the one that I'll change about bitcoin. Scammers are using bitcoin mainly because their customer cannot dispute the payment. It's an advantage for all of us but it turns out to be an advantage in the scammer's side as well. I believe that getting rid of all these scammers will create a newbie friendly environment for all of us because they wouldn't be afraid to try bitcoin since there aren't scammers. In reality, that can't actually happen.
1875  Economy / Economics / Re: Trade house for 1 bitcoin on: October 24, 2016, 10:04:04 AM
Your lifetime might not even be enough to wait for this long. A house costs a lot and the price of 1 bitcoin right now is far from that price range. It takes a lot of time for the price of bitcoin to increase. I'm sorry but I think you should stop dreaming about this 1BTC = 1 house. You would either be dead or too old before this ever happens. Not to mention that properties like a house increases over time as well and it increases pretty quickly.
1876  Other / Off-topic / Re: Two types of Bitcoiners, Which are you? on: October 24, 2016, 09:58:02 AM
In the future, we will be all in Type 1. People are just not accepting bitcoins right now because they don't know about it yet. Eventually, someone will introduce bitcoin to them. There's a lot of advantages that we can get when we accept bitcoin as payment. But for now, the majority of us will be in the Type 2. We have to convert our bitcoins into fiat first before we can buy something.
1877  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is a good investment now, because... on: October 24, 2016, 07:49:43 AM
Bitcoin is a good investment right now because it's starting to gain its popularity. A lot of companies are launching each day. But investing in bitcoin wouldn't give you that much effort unless you wait for a very long time. I suggest that you look for other ways to earn bitcoin but if you don't want to do that, then create a team and come up with an idea that other websites hasn't been offering just yet. I'm sure you'd make a lot of money if you get a lot of customers on your website.
1878  Other / Off-topic / Re: Does bitcoin have any siblings? on: October 23, 2016, 12:07:55 PM
Hello! Good day to you guys! I have a question and its about the siblings of bitcoin because i have really notice that satoshi is one of his siblings i think. but still i am not really 100% sure that's why i'm asking you this question "Does bitcoin have any siblings?" i am just new in this bitcoin thing and i want to find some siblings in bitcoin before bitcoin wasn't created and who's the first in the internet as a payment? 
98 activity, that means you've been posting here for 3 months but you still don't know the basics. Anyway, satoshi is a unit of bitcoin. It's the smallest unit of bitcoin. 1 satoshi is  0.00000001BTC. 'Satoshi' is also the name of the founder of bitcoin.

I guess I wouldn't call it siblings but offspring of bitcoins, they are the altcoins. Without bitcoins, I don't think altcoins would even be there by now. But I guess eventually somebody will come up into thinking of a concept the same as bitcoin's.
1879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Many Millions of People Use Bitcoin? on: October 23, 2016, 12:02:00 PM
By just looking around us, I don't think there's even 1 million bitcoin users in population. There are only 800,000 accounts registered in this forum. Removing the account farmers, dead or inactive accounts, and those people that have alt accounts, we can reduce the number into 100,000 or maybe even less. In crypto-related facebook groups that I am in, we're just ranging 10,000 and most of them aren't actually posting. Some of them might not even be aware that they are in that group.

TL;DR: By just looking around us, we can easily conclude that there isn't that much bitcoin users.
1880  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where do exchanges get their Bitcoin? on: October 23, 2016, 11:57:07 AM
From the start, those bitcoins were mined. And maybe there were no exchanger right after bitcoin was launched. People had to do P2P I guess and that's how exchangers got they bitcoins. The possible ways of obtaining bitcoins on the start were mining and buying it directly from other people. I guess that's how they got their coins and then from that, their exchange site was launched. They would have invested a lot of money in bitcoins first before they get to open their exchange site.
