Because Bitcoin was created as money at first? I think we forgot about this.


Second, only spending Bitcoin makes it worthy.

Many things predicted in the 80s didn't happen and won't happen. That's just the way things go with the total majority of predictions.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Fiat - this is how I see the future on: September 10, 2018, 01:09:55 PM
If we truly want mass adoption for Bitcoin, we have to wait for about 20 years. Why? Because of old people who have money stored in fiat all over the world.

Let's stop talking about better technology, anonymity, security and all other things. The majority of people in the world don't even care how Visa or Mastercard work. Let's talk about usefulness and trustfulness.

Older people would hardly accept cryptocurrencies as payment because they got used to cash and fiat digital currencies. Nowadays the majority of people over 60 y.o. in the world have big problems with using Paypal, banking cards and other things for payment in everyday life especially online. They are fine to withdraw cash at ATM or to pay at the retailers' terminals but they are hardly using cards online.

They stored their pension savings, they don't care much about technology, they have problems with using tech and they would never convert their life savings to some hard to understand Bitcoin. Let me remind you that those people are the ones who have money. Young people care about tech but they don't have money.

So the situation we have now looked this way: Bitcoin is adopted by a younger generation who don't have money on the one side and the older generation who don't care about tech but have money on the other side.

Thus, if we are talking about real mass adoption, we have to wait for about 20 years while older people naturally pass away and the current young generation will generate enough position to use Bitcoin.

That's just an idea to be discussed.

Every time I have a chance to talk about cryptocurrencies with my friends who are into crypto, I try to remind myself this thing:
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the world ready for cryptocurrency? on: August 30, 2018, 01:54:41 PM
Since it has already launched, I would say – it was not ready back in 2009.. Maybe right now or even a bit later would be better timing. People are still scared of everything new and too dumb to learn it and try.

It provides different financial services and takes a % for this. Moreover, it can use your money from deposit to invest it somewhere and get a profit.
8  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Cognitive Bias! on: August 30, 2018, 08:34:47 AM
Thank you for starting a great topic. I'm sure that cryptocurrency community shares absolutely the same cognitive biases as followers of other trends, e.g. Apple, xBox.

People are just people and share the same bugs in their brain.

If you want to learn about cognitive tricks, read this website.

9  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency wallets: Can they be hacked?? on: August 30, 2018, 08:31:56 AM
I do not know of any wallet that could be hacked. This is possible only when the user does not know how to safely store private data.

This. Most probably if your wallet was hacked it is because of you not being careful with it.
However, if we consider exchanges as wallets, then sometimes they got hacked.
10  Other / Serious discussion / Telegram may now disclose your data when requested by the court on: August 30, 2018, 08:24:56 AM
On August 14, 2018, Telegram has updated their Privacy policy.
Now there is a block named "Who Your Personal Data May Be Shared With"



https://telegram.org/privacy

This means that Telegram will disclosure your IP and phone number when requested by the court.

Will this affect the usage of Telegram by cryptocurrency community? Will we have to move somewhere else?
11  Economy / Economics / Re: What made the Warren Buffet to be the most successful investor on this planet? on: August 30, 2018, 07:50:45 AM
Buffet said that he was interested in investments because of reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.

That's what he says:
To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What’s needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework. This book precisely and clearly prescribes the proper framework. You must supply the emotional discipline.

Everything could be dangerous if you don't know how to use it correctly.
13  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bonpay Plastic/Virtual Bitcoin Card on: August 30, 2018, 06:28:45 AM
Hi
so your cards are available already now or still in the process of being available soon?

And why should we trust your company?

As it was clearly stated by Pab, our card is still in the process of being available soon.
What about trusting our company, hmm. Actually, we had a working product previously which was very competitive in the market. We have a nice community, responsive support and great team. We always publish updates and report about what was done and what is in our plans.
If you would like to try our service, you can register and use our wallet, so you can see that it's working well.

For any additional information, please, feel free to ask. I am always happy to answer your questions!

I will like to see some altcoin added to wallet like ltc eth dash

It will be done at the nearest future, but most probably after we are ready with cards, as it is our top priority at the moment.

14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 25% of italian football club bought with cryptocurrency on: August 29, 2018, 08:31:46 AM
That's a first in football I believe?
A Serie C club (Rimini), Italian 3rd league, will have 25% of its shares sold in the form of a cryptocurrency transaction, following partnership with Quantocoin. Never heard about this Quantacoin before but a look on their website https://quantocoin.io and it looks quite promising.

Not the first actually. There are already facts about selling tickets (for crypto) to the football matches with help of blockchain and some other examples around football especially.
It looks mostly not like something good for crypto community but rather for a 3rd league football team as it will bring more attention to them because of crypto hype.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Are fiat currencies necessary in the world? on: August 29, 2018, 08:06:17 AM
As far as there is no good alternative to fiat, it is still necessary. Moreover, the most people support fiat and don't believe that cryptocurrencies are able to replace it even in the long-term. So, the answer would be "yes"
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Fiat on: August 29, 2018, 06:00:17 AM
Bitcoin is simply known as electronic currency which has no physical form where as fiat currency is known as physical currency. Bitcoin is a decentralised nature currency which does not under control of any kind of authority or government where fiat currency are under control of many government. Fiat currency are more stable then that of bitcoin and it is not complex as that of bitcoin. Fiat currency can be duplicate because of their physical form but bitcoin cannot be duplicate because of its digital in nature.

Yes, there are a lot of differences between them and that's why replacing fiat with Bitcoin sounds perspective. The only critical problem most of you admitted is lack of physical form of Bitcoin, but I believe that we can find a solution for this issue.
17  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bonpay Plastic/Virtual Bitcoin Card on: August 29, 2018, 05:58:13 AM
Your cards will be directly from Visa or from some provider
From a partner provider definitely for now.
18  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bonpay Plastic/Virtual Bitcoin Card on: August 29, 2018, 05:57:41 AM
hi sir, where can I see the list of countries with which you work and can we receive the card?  thank you.

We can't publish the exact list of countries where Bonpay cards can be ordered because the Cards are not ready yet. Though, EU countries will be supported for sure.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency is a trending topic all over the world? on: August 28, 2018, 01:56:55 PM
The topic is quite popular but it's not that much trending over the world.

I've checked the global volume of several popular topics with ahrefs. Global search volume shows the total number of times the keyword was searched last month across the globe.

As you can see, Bitcoin is popular, but ...

League of Legends - 12M


Trump - 9M

I just want to say that people are not keen on bitcoin anywhere in the world. They have tons of other topics to talk about and bitcoin is just one them.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Fiat on: August 28, 2018, 06:42:18 AM
I dont think bitcoin can replace fiat money. Fiat monetary standards enable the government to have a lot of control of their economy.
They can choose to print progressively or remove some from the economy through banks. A cryptocurrency would need to be connected to their fiat cash and be absolutely controllable, for a government to permit it instead of their fiat, however that would essentially be a fiat at any rate. So we would require new enactment or new governments.

This is a very rational argument. I would assume that in such case the only possible solution would be both a new financial system and new enactment.
