1262  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house? on: January 23, 2016, 01:23:13 PM
Sure why not I think is the best thing ever to just buy a house with bitcoin just like that.
Only you need to wait for a long time that bitcoin can go more that 10.000 dollars.

Yes real estate is a good investment like ALWAYS.
So just wait and see what happens. But make sure not to panic sell, like so many already did.

Real estate is the best investment at present as the value keeps on increasing on daily basis, so I think it is better investment as compared to investing into bitcoins, real estate will grow more in future and can give best return on investments.
1263  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: January 23, 2016, 01:18:56 PM
I buy almost anything with bitcoin in my country. its cheap and fast.

Do you use a bitcoin credit card that makes this possible or do you really only buy in shops that allow you to pay in bitcoin directly? I imagine that being pretty hard and only very few places on earth should allow the latter.

Exactly, in my country I haven't seen a single shop that accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment, so using it for purchasing any physical goods is really difficult for me, So I need to take support from fiat to buy any product from physical shop. And if he is buying everything with bitcoins then he is really a lucky guy.
1264  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: January 23, 2016, 01:13:19 PM
if I is not selling my bitcoin , only I hold the bitcoin , until the bitcoin prices high , then I sold it .

But why selling if u can buy something with bitcoin directly? I think OP is right about this, if we do something like that with our coins that can only move price up and make bitcoin more acceptable in everyday life.
Also I get what u mean, sometimes everyone need cash, and everyone of us would sell for some high price there is no doubt in that.

That's true we will surely sell our bitcoins if the price is high, and as you said to buy with bitcoins directly, every country doesn't accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment, you need to either purchase it by fiat or credit card, so one need to sell bitcoins and convert it to fiat to buy physical goods.
1265  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: January 23, 2016, 01:09:17 PM
It's just really impossible bitcoin can ever replace dollar or any other fiat money. No chance at all.
there is always a chance, bitcoin has a great opportunity to become the most popular money that will be used in the future, where the future of all serbaa instant and regulated by the internet

It will be a popular currency but I don't see it replacing dollar very soon, dollar will face a tough competition from bitcoin in future, but dollar will always on top, as it has been since years, dollar getting replaced by crypto is something sounds really wierd. Dollar will always treated as a primary currency.
1266  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: January 23, 2016, 01:06:17 PM
Are you inspired by those bitcoin millionaires? Are you thinking of filing a resignation letter on your day job (if you have any) and focus on bitcoin instead?

Me? I do have a day job and I consider bitcoin as my side job. I don't want to lose that another source of income just because bitcoin is awesome.
yes i just like you,even i have no daily ob,but i keep bitcoin for my side job,nowdays was not too good for full day having bussines with bitcoin.

That depends on what kind of business you are doing with bitcoins, if my earnings are more from bitcoins as compared to my job, I would surely quit my job and get full time into bitcoins, and If I have good amount of bitcoins at initial stage then I can start trading with bitcoins and make good profits in quick time, and would also learn some new things related to bitcoins which can pay me safe amount of bitcoins.

Depending only on bitcoins could be a bit risky though, as at present bitcoin is in healthy stage, but not sure what would be in future, so it is not advisable to quit full time job for the sake of bitcoins, you get lots of benefits in your full time job, bitcoin is good passive income which can take care of extra expenses.
1267  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Be Honest. We Are Waiting for $100/BTC to buy on: January 23, 2016, 01:03:15 PM
People don't want to see a 100 dollars again for bitcoin is so difficult to get it up again.
Is just better to just little amount with bitcoin and this price is awesome and I am hoping for more.

Exactly, it would be a nightmare for the people who have bought at present, and they would surely loose hope in bitcoins, and we don't want that the price should go that low, but honestly speaking, I don't think that bitcoin will fall to $100 may be it can go till $200 or $250..just a thought.
1268  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can not replace fiat on: January 23, 2016, 12:52:39 PM
Bitcoin is not here to replace fiat, bitcoin is here to help our in our lives.

My hope is that bitcoin will someday be the main currency for transactions.

That would be the best.

Bitcoin can never replace fiat, bitcoin will be used as currency but it will never replace fiat, as there are few things that only fiat can take care of, bitcoin will be popular but will not used as a major currency, people have more faith in fiat and they are used to it, so they will never support bitcoins.
1269  Economy / Economics / Re: Government & Bitcoin on: January 23, 2016, 12:46:56 PM
If you think about government may be planning, it can be scary.

Some government officials might have known something about bitcoin and some were already investing in bitcoin.. who knows..hehe  Smiley

That's the problem we are facing, government officials are investing into bitcoins but they are not in support of bitcoins from the society point of view, they want to make money, but they don't want that the people of their country should make money, and that is the reason bitcoin is not popular in many countries.
1270  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin worth to you or not... on: January 23, 2016, 12:43:57 PM
Money is going digital,no doubt about that.The only question is when.Only the Fed knows...


money is already digital. nowadays we do everything with our smartphones. right now i just need my banking app in combination with the nfc chip in my smartphone to pay for things. that's all digital. i barely use physical money anymore since nearly all stores here have updated hardware that allows me to do contactless payments.

Yeah, and the day will come when we could buy any physical goods from any shop using bitcoins, and one day it will surely happen, at present the users of credit cards are more as compared to bitcoins, the reason is not many accepting bitcoins as a mode of payment, and once it is done, we will see many people using bitcoins for making payments.
1271  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: January 23, 2016, 12:40:37 PM
I go for bitcoin and gold.
Bitcoin for purchases.
Gold for savings/investment

There is no need to choose, so why should i right?

ARE YOU SEE GOLD CHART IN LAST 5YEAR ? Roll Eyes
gold is very bad for investmen

better to save/invest at bitcoin then use fiat for daily cost, also save some of your fiat for future (if itcoin price down again you can buy bitcoin with your fiat)

Investing in bitcoin at a moment is the best thing to do, as I don't have that faith in gold which I have in bitcoin, as I can't wait for years to earn return on investments, getting good profits from gold involves a long span of time, but bitcoin can earn you great profits in a short term, so I would go with bitcoins.
































1272  Economy / Economics / Re: When do you buy Bitcoin ? on: January 23, 2016, 12:35:47 PM
The best thing is to buy it when prices are lower; do not buy too much at once, buy in smaller quantities and do it especially when it's more affordable. You will save in the long run.

Yeah, that is the good strategy to follow, its better to buy in installments rather then buying in a bulk, as you never know what would be price tomorrow, I bought few coins yesterday as price was relatively low, will sell it when the price crosses $400 mark.
1273  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: January 23, 2016, 12:32:12 PM
In the 1980's interest rates were sky high, over 15%. Then it made sense to save your money. Not anymore. Its best to invest in physical things such as land, metals, or any scarce commodity.
I would have definitely saved my money then. But back then, people barely earned anything so you would have like nothing to save.

No mate, people have saved a lot of money in those times as there was absence of inflation, but today look at the inflation rate, you cannot save anything if you have a job, you need to work on extras to take care of your basic expenses, as only job will not help you to save anything.
1274  Economy / Economics / Re: How to make 17 BTC out of 7 BTC ? on: January 23, 2016, 12:27:45 PM
If you want the short time it was gambling, but I really do not recommend it. other way is trading.

Well, Today is someone followed my tips made about 50 pips on euro/dollar  Cool. But if someone went long on crude (since 26.5) has made over 300% in one day (I assume leverage 20x , like 1Broker)

I do not play forex trading, I prefer to play altcoins or bitcoin trading, because it is easier and not too difficult in my opinion.

Yeah, bitcoin trading is the best when it comes to make quick money, as people who are aware about bitcoin trading will not trade with forex or gold anymore as they know that they cannot that amount of profit in gold or forex, so they would surely switch to bitcoin trading and that is the best way to multiply your bitcoins.
1275  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: January 23, 2016, 12:23:21 PM
Invest what you can miss into BItcoins and hold them, price will sky-rocket when block halving is coming

I think people are expecting too much. Halving may not bring the boom you're talking about.

Yeas. The last halving did not impact the price.

I hope for a big rise, but if the price is the same I will not be dissapointed too.
I think that this will impact the price because a lot more people are using Bitcoin now compared to 4 years ago.

Yeah the users of bitcoins are increasing rapidly and that is the good news for the bitcoin community, and if you want to get rich invest your money as much as in bitcoins and keep it safe for the future, If you hold 10 btc and if the price reaches to $10k in future, then imagine how rich you will in future.
1276  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: January 23, 2016, 12:19:50 PM
The price of Bitcoin is one of the main reasons people get attracted to Bitcoin in the first place. It does matter.

Yeah all the people who are earning bitcoins are surely keen to look at the price at a regular interval, as they don't want to miss opportunity to buy or sell their bitcoins at a right time, and people who have invested their money in bitcoin as an investment, for them the price really matters, and the price of bitcoin also matters for the regular users.
1277  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN going up or down on: January 23, 2016, 12:17:05 PM
It really seems to not be able to make up its mind which way it is going right now. That is some serious UP/DOWN activity.

Yes the price is not settled just going up and down. Today the rate has almost near to the value that settled few days before over the 380$. Even though value is not growing much some positive hope is there over most of the users which will surely lead to growth

Lots of things going on beyond the Bitcoin Ecosystem as well so that is normal to me that we have such a jumping price. This up/downs make a lot of clever daytraders very happy though.

Exactly, traders loves this situation as they can make quick profits, the price of bitcoin has certainly fall down in last 2 days but its not a big deal, it will surely increase in coming months, will not reach the moon though, but I believe it would surely cross $450 mark and people who have bought around $350 would surely enjoy profits.
1278  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?! on: January 23, 2016, 12:13:23 PM
They are probably trying to manipulate the coin value, so the price will go down and they can buy even more cheap coins
and sell them when the price is high again

That's the game which has always been played.
If you're not a whale you have to take it as it comes.
So either you panic and sell or you stay cool and hold.

Yeah people will use this strategy to degrade the value of bitcoin, so that people start selling their bitcoins, but a user who is into bitcoins since long time will not panic and hold his bitcoins for the future and sell at the right time, as price fluctuation is not new when it comes to bitcoins. It's better to have patience and not listen to others.
1279  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: January 23, 2016, 12:09:55 PM
If you want to make sure I would say get about 10 Bitcoins. This way even if it will only reach $10k I think you will have a nice retirement with those Cheesy

10 BTC is good amount to hold if the value reaches to $10k but we are not sure what would be price of bitcoin in future so playing safe I believe 30 BTC can be a good amount to hold even if the value doesn't reaches to $10k mark, so if the value is around $5k then 30 BTC can take care of us during retirement.
1280  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: January 23, 2016, 12:06:14 PM
Right now is probably one of the best times to buy. The price is low and stable. Definitely good investment.

Exactly, this is the perfect time to buy some bitcoins and keep it safe in the cold storage and hold it for the future and sell at a right time, I mean if you can afford to buy more then 1 btc would be a great amount to have in a wallet, as the value of bitcoin would be much higher in the future which can give good returns on our investment.
