I think it will because there is a limit to bitcoins and i saw it on a Netflix documentary about bitcoin that it will be all mined in 20140 so maybe that year is the year of death for bitcoin but we do not know what can happen maybe there will be more.

Seriously?  By 20140 there would be no bitcoin to think that it is only 2017 right now just 50 days away from 2018.  If that is correct then we could now know what will happen during that time since it is so far from the future.  And I might say that the developer of bitcoin is really genius as he secured or assured that we are all going to enjoy bitcoin until our lifetime.  And we still do not know if the earth or humans will exist by that time.

Well, most of all of this thread said that hardware wallet will be the first choice. I agree with that. But if you an active trader, web wallet is more effective to use. You can deposit and transfer very fast to some exchanges

I have never used a hardware wallet to store my bitcoins.  I am using web wallet in all transactions I made with bitcoins.  The wallet I am using right now can do all the payment transactions including credit card, utility bills, and health plan.  For me it is the best wallet.  And as for security purposes, it is secured since you are the only one who should know your password.

I used to invest in stocks and funds, but after investing in bitcoin I was not interested in funds and stocks anymore.


I have the opposite of your experience.  I am thinking of after reaching my goal, desired amount of bitcoin I have in my wallet, I will convert it into cash and invest it.  I will buy mutual funds but as to stocks, I do not know since I fo not have any knowledge in it.  Maybe because you saw that investing in bitcoin is much more profitable than funds and stocks.
1664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Everyone already knows about bitcoin" no.. no they do not.. on: November 10, 2017, 03:09:51 PM
We came here based on an interest in something that we saw benefits in. We have our own interest set, whether it be the business and income options, the technology, the finance, or whatever. There is a group out there that has no idea that Bitcoin exists, and they may never, it is just outside their interest and awareness range.

There is yet another group that had contact with it and simply didn't care. There are others that will come and go and maybe play with it some. We cannot expect others to have the same interests and opinions as us and there is simply going to be many people that do not care.

Good point.  We are all here because of the same interest and that is earning money or something like that.  Just like what you said, all who knows bitcoin are in the interest of earning money, gaining profit on whatever ways it is.  I came here because I need an extra income and eventually I am now into investing.

bitcoin makes people rich because of the rise in bitcoin prices...for those who have a lot of money they see bitcoin as a good investment to do....bitcoin prices become very expensive and require a lot of money to buy bitcoin....so only rich people can buy bitcoin....rich people will become richer if they invest bitcoin....they invest all their money in bitcoin

Well it is not quite right to say that only rich people can buy bitcoin since bitcoin can be bought bits by bits.  I mean you could just bout 0.01 or 0.001 or 0.0001 bitcoin if you want.  I am currently using an online wallet which I can able to buy bitcoin for those amount.  It is just an advantage for rich people to become richer when they invest in bitcoin since bitcoin price or value keeps on going up.  But there are people who are not that rich became millionaire after believing and keeping their bitcoins from the start.
1666  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a mode of payment on: November 09, 2017, 12:15:58 PM
It depends on what item is going to be paid. Imagine if the transaction is just below $10, you need to pay an additional $3 for the miners fee. But I think eventually this will be fixed because I remember this scenario before when paying credit cards is being discouraged because on top of the price of the item you will buy, there is an additional service fee added by the merchant but as time goes by, those service fees were removed.

I agree with you and even if there are establishments accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment, I will carefully balanced things since bitcoin is so precious with me.  I will not use it to pay for my fare for a ride or to pay the fancy food I ate.  I will use my bitcoin in much more valuable things.  I will use it to buy house or a car or use it to invest and even put up a small business.  Something that is worth to spend my bitcoin. 

But in any case if bitcoin will be used as a mode of payment, this will help other people to know more about bitcoin.
1667  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is not gambling on: November 09, 2017, 12:02:12 PM
Most of the people state bitcoin is like gambling because ones when you enter trading business, its like a theory of gambling wherein you may lose or win such an instance you invest alt coins and at the end of the day your alt-coins fluctuates going down. this means you was'nt find profit then you lose.

And that theory is the same with investing on stocks because it is not guarantee that it will or you will earn.  Because just like what you said, it seems like gambling because you could lose or gain.  But looking back on the bitcoin price, there are downs but majority of it and comparing the price before, it is good to invest in bitcoin.  My special someone told me that I taught him to become a gambler after telling him to invest on bitcoin.  As he do not know whether his money invested on it will gain profit or will lose his stake.
1668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long bitcoin will survive ? on: November 09, 2017, 11:58:46 AM
I don't think bitcoin will be that high in value for a long time but i think that the bitcoin won't die anytime soon. So i think it is still save for you to invest in bitcoin.
But you should wait for the value to drop first so you will make sure you won't lose money.

I do not think that it is possible right now that the value of bitcoin will drop.  It is very evident that bitcoin right now is so strong and for its value to goes down is next to impossible.  Although we do not know and there is no guarantee that bitcoin will be there for a lifetime or for how many more years.  As long as it is profitable, let us just take advantage of its benefits.  But still it would be better if it will last forever.

1669  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? on: November 09, 2017, 11:56:11 AM
My experience with bitcoin initially when i first began bitcoin is i have a serious problem to understand and how to use bitcoin. I've been asking for assistance to my classmate each and every issues or confusion in bitcoin. Because of my classmate he clarified and helped me to know bitcoin.

That is all became our problem.  Even if it was fully explained by our friends, still there were questions need to be answered.  Eventually after doing things in connection with bitcoin, I became familiar with it and that there is no need to ask questions since you will understand it through experience, through daily being exposed with bitcoin.  I was even scammed because after receiving a good amount of bitcoin, I wanted it to double and grow but I invested it on a site that after a few days it was gone.  Well, it was just part of my learning and through that I know now what should be the right thing to do.
1670  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how can i withdraw btc for cash on: November 09, 2017, 11:48:14 AM
Actually i want to know when we earn btc how can we get it to cash .  Is there any secure website or something

The online wallet I am currently using automatically converted btc to cash and cash to btc and is existing in our country.  The banks, convenience store, and remittance centers were accredited to buy btc.  All we need to do is to just click the tab or an icon on that bitcoin wallet and it will automatically request the payment of your money or cash and likewise stated is the fee which is really reasonable and affordable.  To the establishments I mentioned you can also request for payment or you can get the amount of cash you exchanged.
1671  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Unemployment on: November 09, 2017, 11:11:24 AM
How many people in your country are unemployed ??

In my country everyone is of view that unemployment rate is very very high. Some people say that every second person is unemployed.
on the end hand with the arrival of information technology. A lot of people are working online/freelancing.

Do you think unemployment is the main problem in every country Huh

EVEN first world countries are having a problem with this as there are certain j stitutuons that are fully stocked on one aspect on jobs and are having shortage in some and I Think that is what makes unemployment worse. That is why balancing and a global policy should be in place

Nowadays, many people are now unemployed. It is because of some people didn't finish their study that is important in finding a job. Other reason is many people are being irresponsible in their work so their employers get them out in their work that resulted in being unemployed. We should be responsible enough in our life to be able to have a better future.
1672  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Money can buy happiness? on: November 09, 2017, 11:07:33 AM
yeah - live without money, which means: food, clothing, shelter - all basics in the modern world.

better sad and rich.

I think money can buy real happiness. Maybe money can buy some things that can make us happy but the real happiness is we can feel if we our enjoying what we are doing in our life even without money. Love can also make us happy because we can feel that there is someone that can love us unconditionally even without moneym
1673  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Impact of drinking alcohol. on: November 09, 2017, 11:03:16 AM
I would agree there's nothing good in alcohol for our health, I feel it on myself. But still if there's something new - the wine or brandy I've never tried before, I will try it just because I'm curious, not because I feel better when I'm drunk

Moderate Drinking of alcohol is something good to our body. It can lessen the chance of having diabetes and high blood pressure. But if we drink it regularly and we become addicted to it, we can face many problem like chance of having a cancer, experiencing anxiety and even death. We should be responsible enough in drinking alcohol.
1674  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: November 09, 2017, 10:59:18 AM
In fact, a huge number of things are made from a plastic and if it recycle for energy, elementary for heating, there would already stay much cleaner around us. On the other hand, the air from this will not cleaner  Roll Eyes

Renewable energy is the energy that can be replenished and can be replaced. There are many source of renewable energy like the windmill and the solar panels. But we should be careful in using it because maybe in the future, it can loss and the next generation can't use any energy. We should save it now for a better future.
1675  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you agree in death penalty? on: November 09, 2017, 10:56:01 AM
If a person committed a crime prior to death penalty getting implemented then that person should, by the law, not get the death sentence. But if the government decided and informed the people that committing a specific crime is equivalent to a death penalty, yet the person decided on his own volition to still do the crime and take the risk, that person should be put to death as he still chose to break the law despite of knowing the consequence.

I agree with you. Death penalty is the most hard punishment that the government can give to a person. But I think death penalty should be given only to those people who committed a serious and massive crimes like killings and to terrorist group. Government should be a wisely because in wrong decision , one life can loss and it can't replace by saying sorry.
1676  Economy / Economics / Re: Life with out money ? on: November 09, 2017, 10:52:01 AM
Is there is any chance of life without money i think first thing that every human being is need that is oxygen but similarly same things goes for money we can do nothing without both of those things can we ?

Of course we can still live without money. I mean some tribes, either discovered or not, still practice trading and life without money. If they were able to do it, then I believe so can we. All we need to do is to accept that new system.

We can't survive a day without spending money because all things now has a fee that we need to pay. Without money, many people can starve that can lead to some disease that may even cause death. But we should be wisely in spending money because now we have it, but no one knows if we still have it in the near future. We should save it and be responsible to it.
1677  Other / Off-topic / Re: Should I Go To College ??? on: November 09, 2017, 10:47:10 AM
One should definitely go to college, it gives you more opportunities in life.

Having a college degree is the only thing we can value for the rest of our lives. We can loss money in our lives but education can't take away from us. Also, if a person didn't finish their studies, they can face some problems like unemployment and poverty because they can't support their family's need due to lack of money. So I suggest that everyone should finish their college life.
1678  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What is the common cause of poverty? on: November 09, 2017, 10:43:49 AM
for me the common cause of poverty is POOR ECONOMIC STABILITY and CORRUPTION. when it comes to person itself i think the common cause of poverty is UNEMPLOYMENT, SICKNESS and LAZINESS.

I agree with you. Poverty is a major problem that every country face nowadays. I think the best reason is because of some corrupt government officials. They are getting some money from the citizens that is not really belong to them. High amount value of tax are also present with no reasonable explanations. I think the best solutions is we, humans should think wisely and learn how to fight for their rights so they can get what they deserve and to avoid poverty.
1679  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The world without leaders? on: November 09, 2017, 10:36:34 AM
What do you think will happen to the world without leaders like the President, Prime Ministers, King, Queen,etc.? I mean if we accused our leaders of being corrupt, oppressive and all other things, if they are not in the position, what will happen?


The world without leaders could be good for us as they have been lying to us all the time especially when it comes to money matters. On the other hand, without anyone to lead us and direct us on what to do or where to go would be chaotic. It's really confusing.

Leaders are the one who makes a country better and brighter. Without leaders, many problems will encounter by the citizens because no one will lead them in what is the right thing to do. War, terrorism, poverty, and killings are only some of the problems that we can encounter. So one leader should stand in front of the citizens to lead and bring the their country into a better country.
1680  Other / Politics & Society / Re: what is the definition of success? on: November 09, 2017, 10:31:22 AM
Being well-off and with people you love while having no regrets

Success, is a one big word that many people want to achieve. Successful in life, successful in career and successful in family are only some of the reason why many people are doing and working enough to achieve it. But I think being successful is not much important because the important thing is to we enjoy our life here on earth and avoid any problems.
