make all dreams come true, so I can be happy with the people I love.
That is big wish i think. There is a lot of work if you want to turn that from fantasy to reality. But i must say that it is an admirable thing you want, depending from your dreams that is xD . Make all dreams come true is near to impossible i must say, but not all dreams are impossible. With hard work and time most of things are possible. Good luck! Cheesy

I am sorry to heard that there is still viruses like that. I am not sure if i can help. I would recommend for you to reinstall and delete all files from your personal computer, but problem is that you have information on it. Maybe you could contact some people from your government, because maybe you are not alone with that problem, and maybe they could help you solve it.
823  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin for Retirement on: June 29, 2017, 07:59:42 AM
If you are retiring in 15 years or more its well possible that 1 bitcoin can be enough to retire on even in a first world country. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket though and rely solely on that, I would still look at other options just incase.
Don't settle for a low amount of bitcoin aim higher, i think 10 to 20 bitcoins will be enough after 15 years or more to build an average modern looking house because the price of bitcoin is keep on growing because of the demand that keeps on coming from the new adoptions from different people and also from the countries that are getting into bitcoin because of the potential of its financial system.


Exactly! No one can possibly feel safe with 1 Bitcoin in their wallet unless they live in such a poor country where housing and living in general constitutes nearly no expense. And even then, you don't know how that may change in the next 15-20 years so one could be in for a very rude awakening...
yes that is right 1 bitcoin is not such a big amount. even you are living in a poor country, a big saving is not more safer that a permanent income which can give you a good support. i think after retirement a permanent income that we can get from trading bitcoin and altcoin will be more good as compare to saving one bitcoin.
You are right guys, but do not forget that there is possibility of failing too. I mean there is always risk with bitcoin, that much in the future that is. We are talking about 15-20 bitcoins here, which is a lot of money. And what would happen if all your retirement in bitcoins goes to waste because of, i do not know lets say bitcoin fails and lose its worth? It is not wise to rely on bitcoin for retirement.
824  Economy / Economics / Re: The legalization of bitcoin. on: June 29, 2017, 07:52:27 AM
In my opinion, the idea is not bad, but it is doomed to failure. All parts of the planet have long been distributed among states and are controlled, and this will already be a violation of rights.
If they collected enough fund they can just buy these pieces of lands and own the rights on that property.  I do not think that this kind of thing will bring a violation of rights as long as all is processed in legal ways.  We do not need to barge in and say we own this land, we can just all act as a responsible law abiding adult and buy land that is owned by other people if they agree.
Every property comes under some form of government ,so it is an impossible task,OP is planning to build an entire township and have his rules imposed other than that what is the real use,if he is the sole habitat in that island,that does not make any sense either. Cheesy There is no restrictions to use bitcoin so what is the problem now,he could accept bitcoin for his business can trade and you can have all the freedom in the world with bitcoin even now.
Yep, totally agree. It would be pointless to make state of bitcoin, if we could call it that. I mean it is an interesting idea, to think that there would be an island, where only bitcoin would be used as an currency. But with current situation it would be impossible, because of high fees and low transaction fee. Maybe in future, when more people start using bitcoin. Cheesy
825  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins and Bankers on: June 29, 2017, 07:45:24 AM
Bankers can not influence the situation with bitcoin. Bankers can take an unlimited amount of Fiat money, but to have access to bitcoin they can't. Besides who wants to borrow in bitcoins if the price can rise to it. Such a loan can result in bankruptcy.
this is really complicated to differentiate between bitcoin and bankers. I think both have a different aspect, bankers are basically involved in the traditional banking and bitcoin is involved with the virtual area, but in the future, bankers also will deal with bitcoin.
Yea, bankers will have to deal with bitcoin in the future but bankers can not change the situation in bitcoins. Bitcoin is anonymous while banks is not, both of them has a different aspect concerning about the volatility in both areas.
Neither bitcoins or banks are anonymous, banks will require lots of information before they even allow you to even open an account, in bitcoin this is not the case but every single transaction is there for everyone to see, in the other hand banks only allow yourself and the authorities to see your transactions.
But the bitcoin will need the bank to make a gate for the fiat to get into the bitcoin. I think all of the bitcoin users are need bank to do that. The verification of your id to prevent the money laundering and criminalities.
Every bank around the world will do that.
As bitcoin becomes more accepted as a currency around the world then the need to convert your bitcoin to fiat using a bank account will diminish also you can convert your bitcoin to fiat without the use of a bank account by exchanging bitcoin for cash in a face to face trade.
Right now we haven't got more of the direct bitcoin acceptance. As stated soon we'll have the increased acceptance in stores as well on our needs. This will surely decrease the usage of banks, because now most of the bitcoin users convert the bitcoin to fiat just because they don't get the chance of using it around their locality.
Yes that is right, and i agree. For now and in near future people will need banks for exchanging bitcoin to fiat currency, and i guess nothing more. Because of fluctuation who sane would take credit from bank in bitcoin Cheesy . But why i say in near future, well we all know how bitcoin works, and for paying and dealing with bitcoin in day to day life we do not need banks. But still, some people will need banks for safe keeping their bitcoins.
826  Economy / Economics / Re: Mining coins save or sell it? on: June 29, 2017, 07:36:05 AM
Right now i trying to mining a lot of coins, i thinking its mabey its good to save the coins like 6-12 mdr before selling it.

Can orther explain about its a good point else about the risk its to high to lose to lot on it?
Well i guess you are mining some altcoin? In that case i guess it is always better to keep, than to sell. Because from what we know, prices has always gone up till now. So in long terms that coins will be worth even more in future than in present. I know many cases where people had saved their coins, and they did not regret it afterwards. If you do not need money right now, than save it.

As crazy as it sounds, my favorite youtube channel are those with Ancient Aliens or documentaries with regard to the Universe and animals that are newly discovered. Geeky huh?!
Nah, i do not think it is geeky at all. Even if it is not truth, i guess it is an interesting thing to watch and think about. I will have to check it out before i could say more. I like history and weapons more, maybe if you know some good channel for that, i would be grateful? I have some, but it is always good to have more, right. Cheesy
828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your plans with your Bitcoin? on: June 28, 2017, 10:36:19 PM
Hi guys Smiley May I know what are your plans on your Bitcoin in the future? Do you plan to keep on investing on Bitcoin related businesses or do plan to convert it into fiat and ventures on new business?

I'm planning to invest more on Bitcoin related companies and convert some of my Bitcoin into fiat and invest it on our local stock market. How about you?
Because that scaling on 1st of August is coming, I am going to change all my bitcoin to fiat currency. I do not have much, but it is nice small sum. I guess i will invest it in my self, buy some new clothes, maybe eat something new... who knows. But it is not large sum, so i can not invest it in something profitable.
829  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin transaction fees fair? on: June 28, 2017, 10:20:56 PM
Actually, it's really fair eh, I mean we all know that last year we don't really have a transction fee because we all know that time that bitcoin is just only 700$ and it's not that really big. But compare now, it'a almost 3k$ and it's just fsir to have a transaction fee to be also a help for thosr miners

I do not agree with you, at least not in total. Today i wanted to pay out about 40 dollars worth bitcoins, and i paid recommended fee of 1 dollar or something more. I had to wait for transaction to be completed around 10 hours. That is just too much. Imagine what would cost to be transferred in minutes, on 40 dollars i guess it would cost around 10 dollars. Just too much.
830  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the most likely outcome on August 1st ? on: June 28, 2017, 10:16:50 PM
I am not sure how Litecoin and Bitcoin are connected, i guess they are not. But i believe that there will be scaling on 1st of August. Also i believe that it will be good for Bitcoin. But i also believe that price of Bitcoin will go down, which is not so good for me or for other people that are saving Bitcoins. I will sell all i have (which is not much) before 1st of August.
831  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin a good way to invest your money ? on: June 28, 2017, 09:50:43 PM
I heard that bitcoin is a good investment for making a huge profit in the future , is that right ? Because i want to buy some bitcoin in these days .
Well like with all things in life there is a risk, and we all know that if risk is higher than the gain is higher also. But to be honest i would recommend for you to wait. There is some changes coming, from 1st of August there will be some splitting in bitcoin. I am not sure what will happen exactly and how it will impact bitcoin, but it would be wise to wait and see. Also it could be quite opposite, maybe it will pay off a lot if you buy bitcoins before that, i really do not know.
832  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you feel about the death penalty? on: June 28, 2017, 09:39:48 PM
My argument is very simple. In almost all the nations where the death penalty was recently abolished, we have witnessed a sharp upswing in the crime rate. Therefore, IMO, the death penalty must be there to deter these sort of crimes.
My opinion is very similiar to yours, I also have spotted that in the countries where the death penalty has got out of use, the crime rate has grown.
It is because of one, very simple reason: criminals are not scared to do bad thing to other people.

If there would be a death penalty for killing someone ( excluding car accidents ) no matter what, Im one hundred percent sure that the murder rate would decrease.

Criminals need a vision of really brutal punishment for their crimes, because if the goverment will be kind with them, and the penalty will not be harmful, then the bad people will think that they might do what they want with impunity.
Yes i agree with you guys. I also think that criminals are not afraid of punishments that are given for certain crimes this days. I also think that fear of punishment is big factor in law. But we must not forget that there is also problems with death penalties. From time to time innocent man could be sent to death. Also, prisons are correctional facility, which means people are taken there for correction of their deeds.
833  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS] Poland’s Largest Food Delivery Starts Accepting Bitcoin on: June 28, 2017, 09:28:31 PM
I must admit that this is really good news. I know that bitcoin has been growing, but to heard that more and more places are starting accepting bitcoin as payment is always good news. Hope this continues, i mean growth of bitcoin. Hope that more countries will follow this example and start using bitcoin. Cheesy
834  Economy / Economics / Re: Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc on: June 25, 2017, 08:43:16 PM
Does anyone have any idea how many people are using gold as a store of value vs btc?  And how long do you think until we have the same user Base as holders of gold?
Well i think it can not be said for sure, but i still believe more in gold than in bitcoin. Yes bitcoin is new and it is easier to earn with bitcoin, but gold has been stable way of keeping money for long time. And i believe it will remain that way for many more years to come. But i do not disagree that holding bitcoin does not have its value. Maybe hold a bit of bitcoins always, just to be sure Tongue .
835  Economy / Economics / Re: Where did you first heard about Bitcoins? on: June 25, 2017, 08:40:10 PM
I didn't hear it, I just saw it in the internet.
Just browsing and my eye caught bitcoin that really makes me curious so I google it to have more information. And the rest is history.
For now there are many people who advertise bitcoin on the internet. Or there are many articles on google that talk about bitcoin. So do not be surprised if you find bitcoin diinternet. Because now bitcoin is very famous in the online world
This days yes. But do not forget how it was a few years back. First time i have heard about bitcoin was in 2013 i think, and that was from a friend. In that moment bitcoin did not seams interesting to me, well not until 2 years back. And sometime after i join this forum. Today most of people hear about bitcoin because of its fast growing and almost easy way to earning. But back than it was a bit more harder Tongue.
836  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: June 25, 2017, 08:36:31 PM
Bitcoin can never replace a dollar, because it exists only on the Internet. If you create real coins or paper bills, you can already think about it.


Why does it have to be paper? Just because it exists digitally doesn't mean it is not real. People are using paper money less everyday. they are paying with bank cards or credit cards even 5 - 10 Euros at markets, shops, restaurants. people aren't carrying paper money.
Maybe in country where you live, but do not forget that there are other countries that are just started in using electronic way of paying. There are even some countries that does not have pay cards. In most modern countries yes, more and more people are using electronic way of paying, because it is easy. But a lot of people are using paper money too, some people just do not like cards...
837  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a source of income? on: June 25, 2017, 08:33:52 PM
I would like to find a full time job that pays bitcoins. It would have to be something online though, and most online jobs are notorious for being scams.

Bitcoin has revolutionized so many things and even we now have sites that offer online jobs and pay in bitcoins. I have done several of these jobs and been paid through bitcoin. You just need to take your time and search on the internet to find any jobs that suit you. It is true that there are so many scams on the internet but you need to take your time to do your due diligence to find out which ones are scam and which ones are genuine.
Yes i agree with you. There are a lot of scams online, and every person needs to be careful. Only, well let say job, that i have done online for bitcoin payment is signature campaign here on forum. And i must say that i am more than happy for income. But i have also heard there are other jobs that could be found online that pays in bitcoin too.
838  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: June 25, 2017, 08:17:29 PM
I don't think that Bitcoin is going to die anytime soon personally because it's already spreading and spreading and we see a lot of companies (big ones) like Namecheap , Microsoft etc ... starting to accepting it as Payement method which is pretty good . for what comes to the price I'd say it will be around 600$ on the Next halving block reward which should me on the end of 2016 .
I agree that bitcoin will never die. I think the bitcoin will become our future money that you can use in all kind of transaction like paying bills and many more. In addition, the price of bitcoin will rapidly increase day by day in the near future. Lastly, all the people in the world will know what bitcoin is.

Bitcoins has so far not hit the $3000 mark as far as I know, and there is also the possibility of bitcoins devaluation when all the bitcoins in the world have been mined,what's going to happen then?that's the question we should all ask ourselves.
I would be very much not against receiving such prices for Bitcoin, Which you have now pointed out As an example. 3000 dollars for one Bitcoin maybe already We will reach the end of 2017, but something tells me that at the end of the summer we can observe a very strong decline in prices. Maybe I'm mistaken, but there are last year's examples.
Well that could happen too, i mean nothing is certain. But i do not thing that price will drop too much. Why do i think that, well Japan started using more and more bitcoin, and there are also some other countries that i guess will follow same path like Japan. Australia for example. I have heard that they will start using bitcoin as legal way of paying starting from 1. July. Maybe i am wrong, but we will see. Cheesy
839  Other / Off-topic / Re: How Much Money Can You Make on YouTube? on: June 25, 2017, 08:02:16 PM
The top youtuber makes millions per year, I believe. But for most of us, a few hundred should be quite realistic.
I am just curious, do you have an Youtube channel, and do you earn about few hundred, and is that a year or month? I am just asking because i made youtube channel, and i can say it is hard. Unless you have some really good content that is new to internet or some stuff that other people did not see before, you will not earn that much, not even close.
840  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin market crash on: June 25, 2017, 07:32:09 PM
No need to panic at all  Smiley  If we don't panic while making money, we should not panic in volatile conditions. Its part of the game and we should embrace it.

I see a post still talking about a crash not long ago and the price is still rising.  What are you guys seeing that the rest of the world does not.  Yes, it hit $3000 a week back, but $2750 is not a crash and is perhaps the highest for the recent trade hour. You cannot create fear in this market, no matter how much you try and it is simply not going to work. 

A slight Crash isn't gonna hurt the market yes, but OP is just saying something in a "what if" manner, he is pretty curious in the situation that bitcoin will totally crash down a higher amount, well I think he is just afraid in investing his money with bitcoin he may be has some kind of phobia over investing we can never know if he really open it up,

And for the OP you don't need to really invest all of your money into bitcoin and I think if someone does it here maybe just a few, but I really think you should gamble just the amount you think your gonna be imperturbable with it is still you own choice to make

I just saw a post in other thread that He/She invested all his savings in BTC. Actually, I do invest too and play w/ the stocks in the market, but this is the first time I encounter investing all his/her money into one share. Which is really not advisable. I really can't imagine what he/she would do if the market really crash.

To answer if I'm afraid, I'm not afraid to invest in BTC It's just that I play it smart and with cautions.
The higher the risk is, higher the gain is. Some time you need to play it on guts or luck, if you want to earn a lot. Everything in life is gamble. There is chance for everything. But it is up to you if you want to invest or not, and if you do want, than you should do the research and be aware that you could lose your invested money.
