1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bribing via bitcoin a good idea? on: February 17, 2017, 06:32:47 PM
I think it is a good idea, but considering pseudo anonymous nature of bitcoin, I will prefer doing this via Monero which is gaining traction among darknet too.
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? on: February 17, 2017, 06:30:35 PM
I will distribute them in a few offline wallets and make a backup of those and put it into a secure vault.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you still use Bitcoin if price would be stable for years? on: February 14, 2017, 03:57:35 AM
I am still going to use bitcoin even if it's price would be stable for next 100 years.
But it will lose popularity among the investors.

5  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who controls the Bitcoins? on: December 14, 2016, 08:12:28 AM
No one really controls bitcoin but there are some parties who hold a lot so they must have some influence in different places, for example the Chinese are mining it and many other btc whales can manipulate the altcoin markets pretty heavily by placing large buy or sell orders.

You are telling about altcoin or bitcoin, even if their are big miners or whales not that much manipulation can happen as they itself dont want to ruin the market of bitcoin by dumping the bitcoin in all in exchanges and affecting the bitcoin price.  and as per i know bitcoin is a free to earn through software or hardware algorithm system. so anyone can mine and earn it

Watch out for programs like teamviewer or even remote desktop option.
Its opening potential backdoor in your system.

It is a widely used program that even some business's use.  I would not describe it as a backdoor.... as you know it's allowing you to connect to your machine. So treat account as such that is used to log in.   Honestly check it out - https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/current-version/

Would I put it on a machine being used as a wallet? No.. you should treat them with extra security.  But would I install it on a PC to connect to miners when away from home, or to connect to PC's that mine with GPUs sure.

I'm not making it up you can see how popular it is just by searching.  Here is some of it's security - http://www.teamviewer.com/en/security/    .  Before jumping to thinking it is a backdoor look at Velkro's trust to see what kinda person your getting info on security from - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=303026



Teamviewer is a very good and professional tool to work on it, it really helped me a lot as i am a computer engineer so many times i have solved minor problems of my customers through Teamviewer software as i was not able to attend them personally so through teamviewer i have solved their problem and more then 2 yrs i am using and never faced any problem
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you first hear about bitcoin? on: December 14, 2016, 08:02:21 AM

8  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Have you ever exchanged BTC face to face? on: December 14, 2016, 07:58:43 AM
I have never changed or sold bitcoin face to face as i have read in so many thread about fraud and scam so i always go to my localexchange and sell it and i receive it in my bank account through imps which is more safe and secure.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: If bitcoin price is $10.000, will fiat be worthless? on: December 04, 2016, 04:55:04 PM
Fiat will never be worthless, even when bitcoin price reaches $10k still fiat will be used, because of the transaction time of bitcoin network, it will never be used for day to day life.
10  Other / Off-topic / Re: If i give you 10 BTC what will you do? on: October 11, 2016, 11:20:35 AM
Holding  bitcoin would be good for  long terms but  its ideal  thing to do  if you make  investments with it so that you would  enjoy profits on  short terms.  10 btc is  enough already to make  such investments as  you said  trading  would be  good but  you would  need  knowledge  to be profitable on  trading.

Holding can probably give someone profits in long term but that profit wont be as much as much someone can earn by investments and as the guy said 10 bitcoins is not a small amount, if we use that in trading we can earn some good profits in short term instead of waiting that much.
By holding 10 bitcoins for long term, they will always remain 10 bitcoins.
So we should invest them or loan them to someone trustworthy so as to make the bitcoin stash growing.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You accidentally find Satoshi.....What would you do? on: October 11, 2016, 11:17:41 AM
I would ask him that what would he do with his enormous stack of bitcoins.  Grin

And then I would ask him for a small tip of 100 bitcoins from his stack. Tongue
12  Other / Off-topic / Re: In 20 years, what would you like to do with your bitcoin? on: July 28, 2016, 02:53:37 PM
I think that if the bitcoin in 20 years later
bitcoin will be the a big a payment in the world and we can use it for buy anything.
Today also you can literally buy anything in the world using bitcoins.
After 20 years I'll be probably using bitcoins for my day to day purchases.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoins safe? on: July 14, 2016, 01:09:52 PM
Yes it is safe when it comes to anonymity of your assets because you can evade tax but the problem would be how you would convert all that big cash into Bitcoin if you really want to do it anonymously. Don't buy through exchanges, I'll suggest to meet some people and buy gradually even though it takes time but safe.
We always think that our investment will be more safer when known by the government but in reality the government are the number one thief that is why the world experience crisis due monopoly of dirty politicians.
And when the government knows about our investment then we are forced to pay taxes on the returns or profits, which is same as stealing the money from us, as most of the governments are corrupted and only very less amount of money goes into the right place where it should have reached.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What prevents one large player from buying up most coins? on: June 24, 2016, 03:13:24 PM
Say an interested party has 10 times Bitcoin's market cap to spend. He buys up the entire order book on the largest exchanges. Once he holds a significant percentage of all bitcoins, he waits for some kind of negative news, then dumps, causing panic sells, which he buys up at the bottom. He repeats this pattern until he owns as many bitcoins as HODLers allow.

How would this affect adoption and confidence in the market? Is there anything that would or could prevent this from happening, aside from the amount of fiat money required?


First there are limited money transfers. Without notice 15Keuro limit. So this would slowdown the process you are talking about, significantly.
Second, exchanger would probably suspend huge account, under suspicion, big movement, big risk of fraud or account takeover etc.
I don't think so that exchanger would probably suspend huge account, i mean to say that why he/she would do such a thing, the whale doesn't harm his exchange as the exchanger is getting the cut from the amount the whale is trading as the trading fee.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: $13,000 bitcoins by the end of 2016? $120,000 by 2018? (golden ratio fractals) on: June 16, 2016, 04:45:46 PM
It was always going to do this. It was never going to cause a problem. If you look around most people expected the price to rise.
The simplest from of supply and demand is.. if you halve the supply, then the price will automatically double.
It doesn't happen overnight.. but it is beginning to get priced in now.
I expect it will more than simple double.
Also it depends when you take as your starting point.
$220 was roughly a solid bottom. It has more than tripled since then. And is on it's way to quadrupling.


I expect the price to rise, but not so dramatic. 10% of the price suggested by the OP is more reasonable.
16  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-05-31] Russia’s Ministry of Finance: bitcoin ban bill to be reintroduced i on: May 31, 2016, 08:44:10 AM
"The previous law draft on “surrogate money” suggested up to 4 years of imprisonment for individuals found guilty of cryptocurrency mining, and up to 7 years of jail for senior managers of banks and other financial institutions. "

That was quite harsh.
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: $13,000 bitcoins by the end of 2016? $120,000 by 2018? (golden ratio fractals) on: May 18, 2016, 08:27:57 PM
This is not happening in 2016 we are not even at $1000 so I am sure that $13,000 is not happening. And $120,000 in 2018 is also not happening it just is to unrealistic.
We have to be real here and focus on the real things speculating about these numbers is not going to help us.

lolz, I recall January 2013, btc at $10, flash forward to april 2013, omgz flash up to $260 and settle around $120, so don't be too surprised when it touches near $10k this year, its more possible than you realize.

That was special times. In April there was Cyprus financial crisis. So the price sky rocket. We do not have that problem now.

I think the $13000 can be reached in 2026. If it is reached by the end of this year, the price will be $400 next year.

If the price of bitcoin rises to $13,000 by the end of 2016, most people in this forum will be quite happy.
20  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How much bitcoin do the exchanges hold? on: April 09, 2016, 02:35:49 PM
The poloniex has at least 20,000 bitcoin in it. The buy walls of Ethereum alone has 10,000 bitcoins.
