1341  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think financial stability is mandatory to be a gainer in Bitcoin invest? on: August 24, 2021, 03:50:31 PM
You think the poor don't have the patience to make profit or something? I have seen lots of poor people who own farms and patiently wait for their animals/crops to grow to maturity ... why not mere investment in Bitcoin?

I think they can be very patient if they invest what they afford to risk and have more money to take care of their other needs.

In Bitcoin world, a person who invest $2 can be equally as omportant as one who invest $1billion... and both can lose and gain.
If those investments are worth 10% of their wealth and both invest longterm, they will make or lose thesame amount in proportion to their wealth, depending on the price Bitcoin.
By the way, I prefer multiple small-scale farms own by many people than a large one owned by few people or a single person. Hope you understand what that means in relation to Bitcoin investment and price stability.  

You think the rich can succeed without the poor investor's money and effort? I don't think so... and this can easily be proven.
The rich are hyped on the internet but on the real world they basically can't do without the poor.
1342  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hoskinson Creator Slams Central Banker on: August 24, 2021, 02:53:32 PM
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari has once again riled up the cryptocurrency community with his recent tweet, in which he says that the cryptocurrency industry is only filled with “scammers” who rip off the uninitiated with their pump-and-dump schemes.
Kashkari’s most recent comment has united different tribes of the cryptocurrency community.
IOG CEO Charles Hoskinson, who created proof-of-stake blockchain project Cardano, pointed to the Federal Reserve’s egregious money printing that he believes pushes people to place their faith in “sound money” that cannot be manipulated by the government.  
"So the org that can print TRILLIONS every year and claim there is no inflation thereby devastating the poorest amongst us has an issue with sound money that cannot be manipulated by politics. I'm shocked Neel!! SHOCKED!!!"
Alex Gladstein, Strategic Officer for the Human Rights Foundation, has shared numerous articles showing how Bitcoin helps people in countries such as Cuba, Nigeria, and Ethiopia achieve economic freedom and the fight against corruption.
He has not commented on cryptocurrencies for a long time, but he has recently become more skeptical. As reported by U.Today, he recently said that he was more optimistic in 2015 than he is now. He also said that 95% of all cryptocurrencies are driven by "fuss, noise, and confusion".
The real face of the central bank has become widely known in cryptocurrency circles after his infamous "60-minute" interview in which he said the central bank wanted to print an unlimited amount to boost the US economy.
Critics claim that ordinary people have to shoulder the burden of the Fed’s reckless monetary policy decisions that lead to higher inflation.

Bitcoin actually helps people who use it around the world to achieve economic freedom (and fight against corruption), not just limited to those three countries. And without their contributions Bitcoin will certainly not be where it's today.
It's also good to always be specific so people know where to look for and don't get confused when they don't see much people being helped to fight corruption and attain economic freedom in those three countries  
1343  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoins Be Cashed? on: August 24, 2021, 10:38:23 AM
Bitcoin is a digital currency that circulates freely, without any control or supervision from banks, governments, or anyone else. In contrast, bitcoin relies solely on cryptography and software between computers.

what if the government closes or does not allow the exchange of Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies with the official currency in each country?  Huh

I guess you mean the circulation is not controlled or supervised by humans... That will likely turn Bitcoin into a corrupt currency opaquely controlled or supervised by untrustworthy people who can't be properly supervised by the community.
It's actually a decentralized currency bounded by rules/principles that can prevent abuses from untrustworthy humans who may wish to control or supervise it.
If nations refuse people to exchange Bitcoin for their currencies, you could do that p2p or exchange them for other things they don't own/control... like Gold
1344  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin fans have developed into a political force. Is this the dawn of victory? on: August 24, 2021, 09:59:12 AM

However, after Bitcoin's strong rebound broke through the $50,000 mark, the biggest risk facing the cryptocurrency market in the future is still regulatory issues.

If an organization composed of Bitcoin fans develops into a political force, I think that bringing new vitality and growth space to digital currency is also an important opportunity for the wider application of Bitcoin. I am looking forward to it. I even think this is a historic step. Imagine that if Bitcoin forum members (consensus) can form a community organization, will they be able to run for the president of the United States? If you want to be more exaggerated, a virtual sovereign state appears on the Internet. Just like in online games, you can even find a girlfriend, which feels amazing.



This risk will likely affect those who use crypto wrongly, or in centralized manner. Bitcoin has already provided a way to mitigate such risk for individuals,, organizations etc and that is by sticking strongly to its good Principles/rules.
If you decide to use it in other ways, then you should be worried about the future.
In regards to developing into political forces, I simply think the moral aspect and the principles are working more for Bitcoin than the political forces. If you take those away it can easily fall to superior forces no matter how brilliant the political forces are.
1345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: Unirealchain - UNR: Revolutionizing Real Estate with Digital Assets NFT on: August 24, 2021, 09:41:17 AM
With the desire to bring a whole new experience to crypto investors, Unirealchain has developed the real estate NFT marketplace. NFT is unique in that it is non-replaceable nor copyable. NFT is becoming the most effective proof of ownership of any item. Legally, whoever owns the NFT, will hold that property.


The question is how do you make sure the bolded is always true, that no one else aside the owner of the NFT can have access to the physical assets without much problem. The owner has to have full control/ownership of the physical assets linked to the NFT once he/she has the NFT otherwise it's not really crypto-friendly

1346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With all your assets, Investing in Bitcoin is really a madness or beneficial ? on: August 20, 2021, 05:01:58 PM
I assume you are asking whether it's beneficial or not to invest all your assets into Bitcoin. Well, I actually would prefer diversifying the assets to safe and "profitable" investment opportunities rather than putting all my  eggs in one basket. Putting all in one basket basically increases risk for the investor even though the investment may be considered safe. We live in an uncertain world, one of the best ways to deal with uncertainty is to diversify or decentralized just in incase one part has issue you can depend on other parts.

Putting all eggs in one basket could be considered gambling or taking big risk.
1347  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Basic Bitcoin skills on: August 20, 2021, 04:02:02 PM
In my opinion, some important skills would be to know how to safely access your keys to your coins/assets from the Blockchain wallet on a secured device, and safely store the keys.    I actually prefer not to have single key for all of my coins/money just incase it's found by a thief or something and the whole coins is stolen using the single keys. You could split the money into multiple parts and have different keys for them which you can engraved on a multiple object like metals and buried/stored them somewhere you can easily remember and access when you need to.

1348  Economy / Economics / Re: Enjoy comunism (III) rats eating dead people and people eating rats in NK on: August 20, 2021, 03:21:28 PM
Listened to her weeks ago, I found it abit hard to believe... or better still, I didn't completely trust that because I haven't verified it yet. I guess the best way it can be verified is to have neutral access to the country. You'll probably need to have over 29 honest people confirm this by paying random visits to any community. And this could be allowed to happen for more than a month until many communities are visited and reports compiled.
I have observed people exaggerated things on the internet or media concerning things that happen in places I'm familiar with... I wouldn't totally believe until I get that from reliable/trustworthy sources

What she said that really interests me alot was that she was not used to not being told what to do in here new country like it was done in the country she fled from, and she didn't really like that... so I concluded that they were heavily controlled over that she thought it was ok/better to be controlled.
1349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ushers mankind in the digital Bit world on: August 20, 2021, 10:52:57 AM
In the previous article, I came to an important conclusion that Bitcoin was created not essentially for human use, but for computer use, that is, for machine or artificial intelligence. It is essentially a currency of the computer world, representing the evolutionary direction of a new civilization of mankind---Digital Civilization.


Bitcoin leads mankind from the world of atomic physics into digital Bit world. We are moving toward a high-level civilization.




If you limit Bitcoin to "currency of computer world", you might aswell be excluding the real human who might not be "part of the computer world" in the future. Bitcoin was built to preserve values/assets and save humans/life in this way... the humans/people were the central focus, the computer will serve the human and we can choose to use other means to exchange our assets/values if the IA rebels or computers fail to work. The free Humans must not be exposed to harm.

1350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin make someone the richest in the world? on: August 20, 2021, 10:14:41 AM
If you want to determine the richest person in the World, you should try to understand or know who owns this Earth. I think he/she/they should have the power to control the affair of the world. How are you sure he/she is not a Bitcoin user and cares alot about Bitcoin? I definitely think he/she exist and is a Bitcoin user.

By the way, the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth makes you Rich (True Riches) not Bitcoin
1351  Other / Off-topic / Re: Feedback on decentralized property deed project on: August 20, 2021, 09:49:43 AM
I am working on a decentralized property deed project. The abstract is:

In the same way that Bitcoin has proven useful for some to store savings and transact in a peer-to-peer network with no centralized authority, others may find a use for a decentralized, cryptographically secure proof of digital land ownership.  In parts of the world with strong existing property rights systems this may have little value, but perhaps it could be adopted in areas which are more decentralized by nature. One would want to familiarize themselves with the Bitcoin whitepaper before reading this as it borrows and builds on many of the concepts found there.

I'd love to get feedback on it (probably picked apart as to why it won't work). I can send the whitepaper on telegram if interested.


Wonder what you mean by "which are more decentralized by nature". By the way, are you talking of ownership of physical or virtual lands?
Assuming it's about digitalization of physical land ownership in a way that allows quick transfer of ownership in digital world, I have wondered about that as well and concluded that it's better not to considered them (lands) as permanent properties. I'd probably try renting lands... "Owners" of the lands can consider renting the lands out, as long as they can, and they have the power to evict the occupiers  once they misuse/abuse the lands. So, the abuse/misuse would need to be proven in good court.
1352  Other / Off-topic / Re: Please check out my sweeeeeet bitcoin rap on: August 20, 2021, 09:11:18 AM
Interesting video.
Watched it randomly and discovered a place it mentioned Satoshi wearing mask and I assumed it was referring to the anonymity of satoshi. I tend to see him as someone known by Satoshi Nakamoto, we can't say for sure whether it's his(/her) real name or pseudonym...

Concerning Anonymity (which i found mentioned in the video) it's actually about not revealing your name/identity on a Trustless Network. You can only reveal that to people you trust... Believe me, they need to be saints otherwise you have to be careful who you reveal your identity/name to on the internet.
*Use the right names/identities.

I'll probably watch the rest of the video later and give you my remaining take.
1353  Other / Off-topic / Re: A crumbling World on the shoulder of this men on: August 19, 2021, 05:12:16 PM
That’s quite deep bro but i kind of get the analogies. I guess the goal in life is to be grateful to the people holding the building up & make sure you get out & don’t look back.


Thanks. I was actually moved to write it so people remember that there are actually people who have been assigned the responsibility to warn those in "the ship" of an impending disaster ahead. Those with this responsibility should not be harmed due to the problems that can results from harming them, plus they are doing this to help those in the ship. They are made to be patient with those in the ship no matter what, but sometimes they get a little angry when certain lines are crossed. The CREATOR quickly intervenes because HE values them alot.
There is an offer of salvation for those in the ship who believe and accept our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, the True MESSIAH sent by GOD to save humanity.
1354  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you be able to take an additional work if required? on: August 19, 2021, 04:11:05 PM
A few of my friends are struggling to get a job. They are in their mid-lives and the country they live in is particularly difficult to find a job at a certain age. Also, when some recovery was being noticed after the 2008 - 2012 crisis, COVID struck hard on an economy with a strong tourism sector. Meanwhile, I made some choices that landed me an stable and reasonably paid job that also leaves enough time to do other stuff that generates income or reduces my costs if I wish to do so.

What is the situation in your country and for yourself? Would you be able to land additional work for example working with crypto, selling stuff on-line, youtubing or something else?
Due to the pandemic, having a regular job has become a blessing and not a burden for many. Some would consider theirselves as fortunate since they still have a job that helps the suffice their family's needs while some are struggling to find one as their past job's company closes down due to bankruptcy. Nowadays, it is all about finding any possible means to earn money and having an additional work will also give you some advantage. In my case, I have a regular job yet I still pursue investing in crypto and some other jobs that is profitable because no one knows what the future holds, I want to secure it as much as possible.




Ofcourse. Those without jobs can start by solving problems around them or providing solutions to problems around them, and probably start by asking people for donations, I believe good people will donate if they they did a good job. Don't worry too much about making money from your products and services, just do them first, make sure they safe/good and give those who can afford them to test/try and pay later if they are satisfied with your products/services. If they don't pay and you deserved to be paid, you will be paid by the CREATOR in other ways (if you believe). *It's more blessed to give than to receive*... People need faith
1355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Think about the "decentralization" of bitcoin from seven different aspects on: August 19, 2021, 03:41:10 PM

6. Decentralization of community governance

In our daily work, most of our country or our company exists in the form of centralized governance. But it is completely different in the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin does not have a centralized organization to manage the entire ecology, but exists in the form of a community. In this community, there are different stakeholders. There is a core developer group, a miner group, a Bitcoin whale holder group, and a Bitcoin retail holder group. There is no centralized organization to manage these stakeholders, but everyone uniformly abides by the consensus mechanism of the Bitcoin community and spontaneously participates in the construction of the Bitcoin community. No single individual or collective can fully control Bitcoin. If someone wants to upgrade the Bitcoin network, they need to get the consensus of different stakeholders in the community. If there is no consensus, it is easy to cause the division of the community. This is the decentralization of community governance.



In regards to 6, you think it's going to be truely decentralized if you have only those you listed as "Stakeholders" governing the entire community? Wish you used etc after "Bitcoin retail holder group" , so people don't assume that's the number of "stakeholders" that will govern the entire Bitcoin Community, or people assuming if they don't belong to any of the groups they can't participate in governance whether they are qualified or not. I believe every honest participants should be able to participate in governance so we don't place too much barrier and risk centralizing governance. You can use merit/reputation system for quality control
Besides, the "groups should be made mainly of independent participants else we could have issues of collusion, centralized groups, or group managed by single entity due to mostly to not adhering to the important Bitcoin Principles
1356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have copyright? on: August 19, 2021, 02:42:36 PM
As far as I can tell, Bitcoin is free open source public project. It requires almost zero permission to use... I think that includes using the "logo". .. Perhaps, under the conditions you don't use it against the interest of Bitcoin and its ideals
1357  Other / Off-topic / Re: Yahoo email, old emails are gone? on: August 19, 2021, 10:36:47 AM
I had almost thesame issue with the email provider but later remembered that they actually had a policy of deleting mails of users who failed to login into their email addresses for certain period of time. Maybe that's what happened to Op. I actually had mine for more 10 years and lots of my very old emails were deleted. Guess they've changed that policy by now, probably due to competitions from email providers that keep users email as long as possible, whether they login or not
1358  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you have any resource suggestions that can add value to the sales business? on: August 19, 2021, 10:12:41 AM
Is the sales business you're talking about similar to or thesame as sales entrepreneur? I actually searched the Words on the internet, and a clear answer I got is about Sales Entrepreneurs.
Wish I knew why you got into the business in the first place...that could help me determine what answer is most appropriate for you. I would address talented sales business person differently than those doing it mostly for the money, or those who learned that in schools.
1359  Economy / Economics / Re: Warning against CBDC from bank of Ghana on: August 19, 2021, 09:45:21 AM
I think it's a Blockchain Group probably from Ghana that is issuing the warning to Bank of Ghana.
I guess the warning is as effective as its usefulness and safety to the Bank. Maybe send them compelling proposal they could try on their own. If that can achieve anything the Bank wants to achieve with CBDC the right way, they could adopt it, assuming there are independent minded people in the bank who understands what can be achieved with crypto
1360  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you be able to take an additional work if required? on: August 19, 2021, 09:10:49 AM
My preferred kind of side works/jobs are those that won't prevent me from doing what I've been called to do by my CREATOR. I actually prefer to be self employed, doing things I'm most passionate about. So the love for the work comes first before income, and I prefer to focus more on those I'm talented in.

* I should be able to do the works anywhere considering that I may not be staying one place for too long. Once a work meets the criteria, I'd probably do it.
