Point well made, we can literally see that in spite of that some projects were made to betray people and make them look dumb because of their stupid decisions. We need to have some knowledge due to the fact that some of us had experienced losing. There are different ways to verify or check if it was a legit project, especially nowadays that scammers are also looking for some ways to make people believe on something specious.

Cash cannot be replaced easily since it is being controlled by the government. Even if we decided to replace cash with cryptocurrrency, we still have no power to control it and the government won't even allow the removal of cash. Other payment method were just given because of the innovation and development it offers, but the main way to pay is by cash. That's why it's called "other payment method", that just work as an option in payment.
Buying big amount things are good for cards to avoid bring lot of cash in your pocket but imagine buying small amount things and then you have to use cards just to pay for it... It'll just become more complicated.

If we want to see rapid price growing of bitcoin we should have massive adoption in different countries, bitcoin are now become stronger simply because it has been accepted in offline and online market and even the government started to accept it. Maybe in the 2020 or 2021 the price of bitcoin have chance to reach the price of 100,000$

Sa totoo lang isa lang din ako sa mga kabayan natin na nakasubok na bumili ng bitcoin sa 7/11 at talagang sobrang bilis lang talaga. Nakaraan lang din bumili ako sa 7/11 sa amin may nakita akong tao na nagpipindot sa cliqq machine at nong napansin bumibili din sya ng bitcoin don at napansin ko parang dumadami na lalo sa atin ang nakakaalam ng bitcoin at sobrang ganda nito dahil mas nagkakaroon na tayo ng kaalaman tungkol sa mga cryptocurrencies.

Marami sa ating mga kabayan ang nakaranas ng bull run at makikita mo naman ito kaning mga reply at post dito sa topic na to. Sa dalawang cryptocurrencies ako kumita unang-una sa bitcoin at sa pangalawa naman ay sa ethereum. Itong 2 cryptocurrencies ay sobrang tumaas ang price noong taong 2017 kung saan nagkaroon ng bull run. Siguro ang regret ko noon dapat pala binenta ko na lahat ng ethereum tapos bumili ulit ako nong bumaba sana hindi ako nalugi ng malaki.

I was kinda lost with this statement... So I basiy doesn't get what negative interest you're talking about until I rrad some comments and it enlightened me. Cause base on my understanding with the statement, omce you borrow you'll only pay lessen than what you've borrowed.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that because of this, people would automatically move in crypto. This could be positive towards crypto but it would not directly affect crypto I guess

Ang Bitcointalk ay mas malaki kaysa sa iniisip natin. Maraming tao dito mula sa buong mundo. Ang ilan sa mga ito, ay nandito upang malaman ang tungkol sa bitcoin at cryptocurrency sa pangkalahatan, ang ilan ay para sa trading o makipag-kalakalan ng mga goods, currency at ang ilan ay narito para kumita ng pera sa pamamagitan ng bounty. Bukod sa mga ito, may ilang mga tao na nandito para mang scam ng pera ng mga tao. Kapag tayo ay makikipag-trade paano natin hahatulan ang isang user kung dapat natin pinagkakatiwalaan ang taong iyon o hindi? Upang matulungan kang mahimay ang mga ito, ang mga tao ay nagbibigay ng feedback batay sa kanilang nakaraang mga trade, karanasan. Maaari nating mahanap ang ilang valid feedback habang ang ilan ay hindi valid, bogus. Kung ang isang tao ay nagbigay ng positibong feedback sa user at ikaw ay ang unang gumawa ng habang upang makipag-palitan, maaari kang ma-scam dahil hindi mo alam kung valid o hindi valid ang feedback. Narito ang pangangailangan upang magkaroon ng custom trust list. Habang nag-susurf ka sa bitcointalk, may palitan, palitan ng mga kalakal o coin o pera, kailangan mong iligtas ang iyong sarili mula sa posibleng scam o fraud at ang custom trust ay makakatulong sa iyo na gawin ito.

Sa paglikha ng custom trust list-
1. Pumunta sa trust setting.
2. Isama ang username/userid ng taong nag-iwan ng valid feedback sa iyong opinyon.
                 a. Sa pagsama ng isang tao sa iyong trust list, i-type ang username o userid sa kahon. Kapaag isasama mo ang
                     isang tao sa iyong trust list, tandaan na gamitin ang tamang username. Maaaring may                      
                     ilang mga tao na may halos parehong username. Para maiwasan ang isyung ito, maaari mong gamitin ang userid.          
                 b. Para sa pagbubukod sa isang tao na hindi nagbibigay ng valid feedback (sa tingin mo), gumamit ng tilde (~) bago
                     ang kanyang username.
3. Mag-update ngayon. Maaari mo ring itakda ang depth level na mahalaga rin dahil kung magdadagdag ka ng isang tao sa iyong custom trust list at kung ang iyong depth level ay naka set sa 1, pinagkakatiwalaan mo ang custom trust list ng user na iyon. Kung ikaw ay nag-set ng depth level 2, pinagkakatiwalaan mo ang maraming user. Maaari monh silipin ang thread na ito para sa mas mahusay na pag-unawa sa depth level.

Ano ang mga benepisyong iyong matatanggap kung ikaw ay gumagamit ng custom trust list-

1. Ligtas na palitan, ligtas na surf, Masayang ending
  Kung lumikha ka ng custom trust list, makikita mo lamang ang mga feedback na iyon sa anumang profile ng user na naiwan ng iyong custom trust list. Maaari mong suriin ang iba pa
sa feedback ng mga tao sa pamamagitan ng pagbisita sa untrusted feedback. Kung nais mong magsagawa ng isang kalakalan o palitan ng mga kalakal o ano pa man, kung nakakakita ka ng negatibong feedback sa profile ng user na naiwan ng isang tao mula sa iyong custom trust list, maaari kang magkaroon ng ligtas na deal/palitan sa taong iyon. At sa parehong oras, kung nakikita mo ang positibong feedback na natitira sa iyong custom trust list, maaari kang magkaroon ng ligtas na pakikitungo/palitan sa taong iyon. Bukod pa dito, magkakaroon ka rin ng ligtas na pag-browse. Halimbawa, kung ang isang tao ay gumagamit ng masamang software/URL na maaaring ikompromiso ang iyong data kung nag-click ka. Ngunit kung nakikita mo ang trust points (hindi posible paminsan-minsan dahil ang marka ng trust ay hindi nakikita sa lahat ng seksyon) at malaman kung ang isang tao mula sa iyong trust list ay iniwan na ng negatibong feedback, tiyak na hindi mk iki-click ang link na iyon. Magkakaroon ka ng ligtas na kalakalan at ligtas na pag-surf.

2. Ang panghuhusga ay mapapadali
  Ipagpalagay na hindi mo pa binuo ang isang custom trust list at ang iyong depth level ay nakatakda sa 2, ibig sabihin ay nagtitiwala ka sa feedback ng mga tao na nasa DT1 at nagtitiwala ka rin sa mga feedback na nasa trust list ng DT1. Kaya, batay sa kanilang feedback, maaari mong makita ang iskor ng isang tao ay 100 at kung sa tingin mo ang user na pinagkakatiwalaan ay maaaring mali sa ilang mga punto. Ang iyong paghuhusga sa user na iyon ay mali ngunit kapag gumagamit ka ng custom trust list, magkakaroon ka lamang ng eksaktong paghatol.

3. Tulungan ang forum
  Habang ikaw ay may ligtas na pangangalakal/pag-browse, responsibilidad mong masiguro ang ligtas na palitan para sa iba pang mga tao. Kung kasama ka ng isang tao sa kanyang trust list at ang kanyang depth level ay nakatakda sa 2, siya ay nagtitiwala din ng feedback mula sa mga tao sa iyong trust list. Kaya, dapat mong idagdag lamang ang mga taong iyon sa iyong trust list na pinagkakatiwalaan mo sa kanilang feedback.

4. Pagpili sa DT1
  Ang pagpili ng DT1 na miyembro ay sinuman na maisama sa trust list ng ibang pang mga tao. Nangangahulugan na responsable tayo sa pagpili ng DT1 na miyembro. Samakatuwid, dapat nating isama ang mga taong nag-iiwan ng valid trust upang matiyak na hindi tayo magkakaroon ng masamang DT1 na miyembro.

5. Ang Custom trust list ay kinakailangan para sa pagsasama ng DT1
  Sa bagong mga pagbabago, ang sistema ng trust ng bitcointalk ay naging mas desentralisado. Bago ito, ang DT1 na miyembrk ay isinasama lamang ni theymos nang direkta bagaman batay sa kanilang trust sa forum. Ngayon, sinuman ang makakatugon sa pamantayan, ay mapapaloob sa DT1 maliban sa mga scammer o isang taong na may masamang reputasyon. Samakatuwid, para mapasama sa DT1, dapat mong gamitin ang custom trust list.

Ang ilamg mga criteria na dapat mong mapanatili sa pagpili ng mga taong gusto mong mapasama sa iyong trust list- ni suchmoon.

Sa palagay ko ay mayroon na kayong maliit na kamalayan tungkol sa paglikha ng isang custom truat list. Higit ko kayong hinihikayat na gumamit ng custom trust list.
Tandaan, mayroong malaking diperensya sa pagitan ng pag-iwan ng feedback at custom trust list.

Knew of the reason that I think set bitcoin apart from other type of payment methods is first its decentralization. That there is no third part involved in your transaction. Another characteristic of bitcoin is its anonymity. I think there is no need to explain that one because you only need common sense to understand that. Also, bitcoin has no or very very few transaction charge that you can transfrler huge amount of money without worrying in the transferring fees you need to pay. Lastly, it is global, you can do transaction to any people anywhere in the globe.

Well if you are talking about this topic literally, comparing bitcoin to other type of business, it is actually a shortcut type in the sense that it is the fastest way to earn a million (but can be also the fastest way to lose some). Going back, it is always headline as a shortcut of earning profit because it really is a fast way. But I agree with your point that in able for you to earn, you need to understand blockchain. It is for you to at least he an educated investor and not to invest on anytime because if you are knowledgeable, you really know when to invest and when to not. You will be a successful investor here if you are knowledgeable.

What do you mean when. You say who will win? I think it is quite misleading because no one can win blockchain. Maybe you are talking about who will take lead. Well,  first and foremost, they do not really need to compete with it because it is not the thing that need to compete with. They can actually cooperate with each other. But if you insist that removing that variable, I think on a long run china can take the lead. China is more intelligent and more aggressive with these types of situations. But I know United States will not also want to lose it to China and will do also its best to take the lead.

I think China can actually do that but I don't think they will do it. It is not because they want to assert more superior power in terms of economy when it is compared to United States but I don't think they will do it simply because it is not worth it after all. It will cost them a lot to destroy bitcoin, and china is not just one entity but composoint of billion of persons and this people would have many opinions about if they will destroy bitcoin. So I am surely disagree that there will be come a time that they will destroy it because they will not take the risk just for them to assert supremacy because they can do it on other things.

It is really an impossible thing to happen but I will try to be in that situation. I will not send any amount of bitcoin in that fictional address on an arguably fictional character. It is for the reason that I am not that rich when it come sit bitcoin or I am not that old here or that triumphant one. I am just new to these kind of environment but if I am that successful one,  I might send some. Why?  It is because his invention brings many things for people like us here. His invention lead to an another type of technology. So yes,  I might send some.

No you are wrong on all of your points. Bitcoin has a finite source only,  I think that is a common knowledge everyone must know and as we all know (or we must know),  it is only contain to 21 million. When we are talking about forking, it does not really alter or change the amount of coins we have. You have justified crested an altcoin that have different rules and etcetera that will compete to the market but it does not really creates new because again, it is actually based on bitcoin. So I do not really believe on your point because these thing is actually must be a common knowledge for people like us.

I think you have some point especially on the side of electricity because yes,  it is rePpy MN really indeed costly in terms of electricity because of the mining industries that consume a vast amount of electricity. More and more mining industries means more are more users of electricity that can be a contributor to global warming. Yes it is right that for now,  it is not yet a problem because there are not yet too many mining industries but when we reach that point,  maybe that is the time that we can make a solution and even that is the case, we know that is really very hard for us to make a move because there is no really a governing body here that can govern all bitcoin traders and users. So this is really a hard problem to deal with.

I think this is a hoax. I never seen this kind of news before anywhere and I think this will never be true,as from what I know and what we all know.  We all know what the nature of bitcoin is. It is a decentralized currency and one of the reason it was created is die it to be a very convenient way in a transaction method and one of its features is it is tax free. So it is very impossible for me for bitcoin to be taxed.

Well obviously, it doesn't require you to be reach for you to earn profit here in this type of business. Actually, in all types of businesses, you do not need to be rich for you to start, you only needed patience, smart and gumptious. You must be able to know to find out capital for you to start just like here and it is now up to you what to do. Take every opportunities that you know will make you benefit from it, and do not be afraid of risking if you know an action can lead you to something.

Well, for old investors, I think these type of news didn't really affect them considering their experiences it is because they know that these things are normal for anyone in these kind of ventures. But for the new or future investors, it will really affect them. Why? It is because they heavily rely on the news that are circulating because again, they are new to this and they rely on the news what are they going to do. So yes, if good news circulates like what you want to do, it can increase the value of bitcoin because it is more likely that more investors will invest because of what they heard from the news.

Japan is very amazing country? Th3y are very fast that they are always ahead she their actions are very futuristic and hall have reason. I hope this kind of newsnwill be growing so that cryptocurrency will grow not just in Japan but to the entire digital world. I will not be wrong about them because Japanese are the one who always wows rh3 wo4lr when it comes to their creativity. I hope they can upgrade bitcoin that will make it inevitable to change the local money to digital money.

If all what you have mentioned is right, then it is indeed a very good news. Considering that it's been a while and so much time for bitcoin to stay in a low price or value compare to last year's value where it brought some or the traders so much negativities. I hope that this will be continued so that the market can gradually go back to its old but very good state. We all hope for a better future so we hope there are more good news like these will come after several days. Hopefully.

Well, this is what you called innovation. This is why technology exist. When you define technology, you will know its purpose. It is because technology enthusiasts and pioneers wants something new and yes, maybe some of them only wants to earn money but it is already given, their main goal is to make something that will make our lives easier. And that is why bitcoin exist. For me it is the one that will replace paper money. Not overyhyping but for me it really is.  Just imagine how cheap the transaction fee is.
