Re: Why I'm an atheist

It has surely to do with education. I am sure we get introduced to religion since childhood. Moreover, you learn about it from people you live with it or on daily basis. Maybe you are not ready. Philosophy, science and religion are the same. Their role is to teach people. They just show us what can be done in a society and what should not. I know that science and religion clashes often but it is because people were immature in the past. Philosophy, the mother of all sciences is closely linked to religion. The first universities were created by priests. I believe people are atheist because they lack knowledge or are just not ready to open their heart.

Re: How did Crypto help you out?

It is too soon to talk about the benefits we can have from it. Many people are earning big money with it, but others are still waiting. Crypto is useful when you buy it cheap and sell it expensive. I actually do not like the idea of selling. I am against sellers. I believe we must develop the crypto world and use the currencies in our every day life. I do not only see it as a way of earning. I see the large possibilities we have with financial freedom and flexibility. You also can earn by developing a crypto related project in your area. You just need the right idea and promotion.

Re: Does engaging with bitcoins put you at risk?

To tell the truth, a risk is part of life. Everything people do is taking a risk. Even education is a risk because you do not know if graduating will give you all the chances to find a job. When people get married, it is also a risk because they can eventually divorce. Life is full of risk. Investment is full of risk. You cannot become rich after buying a cryptocurrency and expect it to rise. You need to do different things to become rich. The most important is your mindset. Be ready to take a risk if you want to become rich. Investing in Bitcoin is a risk for sure, just like any investment.

Actually, everybody can benefit from it. It is not only meant to be used as a currency. Bitcoin is also a connector. I will be used to buy and sell goods worldwide. Some people say that it is the future of our world. For now, people can buy it and profit when the market goes high. It can also be used as a said, as something that unites communities. We are here chatting thanks to bitcoin. The benefit will be high in the future.

Re: Blockchain future

The future is  Blockchain. This kind of technology is exactly what we were waiting for. The actual system is slow and needs a reboot. The  Blockchain technology is more transparent and gives more freedom for transactions. Right now, we do not understand how impressive this is. It is like the beginning of internet. At the beginning, we had no idea about how important internet would be. Now, countries cannot live without internet. We are connected at work and home. The  Blockchain technology will be something similar. It just needs time and confidence. Let us not only think about how to make money with. It can also be a tool for development.

Re: The End is near ... Bible fulfillment.

Everything that has a beginning, has an end. One day or another, the end will come. The real question for me though is to ask ourselves what have we done? Mankind is still young actually. We have 2 thousand years of civilisation. It is nothing compared to the time scale of the universe. But in those years, we manage to understand a lot. From the Greek philosophers to cryptocurrency, we have done a lot. Unfortunately, not enough to save ourselves from the end of times. In this prophecy, nations will leave in peace. This is good. I believe it will happen one day. The end is near but not soon.

Re: Most Crypto investors are Cowards

I totally agree with you. People are very afraid of investing. It is a fact that investing is gambling. You can win or lose. People only want to win when they invest. We all wait for big money. In order to get big money, we must be be courageous and suffer with the market fluctuation. Some even sell their crypto when the market goes down. It is very bad to do so. We must be courageous to earn big money.

Re: What factors scare others from investing into bitcoin?
by
Merritt_Baldric
on 16/08/2018, 22:46:52 UTC
There are many other factors pushing people away from bitcoin. You mentioned the first one and you were quite right. The second one is the regulation system. We all know that the bitcoin is something quite new on the market and it needed to be regulated. People did not invest in it because they were not sure. Another aspect is the negative reluctance of governments and public banks to officially support cryptocurrency. It is even forbidden in some countries to deal with virtual money. If in your country you have that kind of ban, well you cannot invest in bitcoin. The volatility is a fact that prevents people from investing as you said. The political aspect is as well a major stop to investment into bitcoin.

Bitcoin as a global currency
by
Merritt_Baldric
on 14/08/2018, 23:31:39 UTC
The bitcoin is the currency of the future. It will help mankind grow to another level. It is like the invention of the first computer. Cryptos are the beginning of a new era and must be used as global currencies. I mean all countries must use the bitcoin instead of their currencies. It is not stable like gold but it is solid.  How many times people predicted the end of bitcoin? How many times has it come back from ashes.  One money for 1 world. We just need time to make it come true.

Re: Do you use cryptocurrencies in your daily life? Are they useful?
by
Merritt_Baldric
on 14/08/2018, 22:41:07 UTC
It would be great to see cryptos replacing fiat money. I know some people do not want to see that happen but it is an option. Nowadays, it is very hard to use cryptos in daily routines. It is hard because of the exchange rates and places to do it. It can be done online and it means you need a good connection. The world is still dominated by banks and they do not allow cryptos. Some countries do not allow their citizens to use cryptos as well. In that case, it is very hard to use cryptos in daily routines. I believe this will happen one day but not now.

Re: What will you do with the current market?
by

on 11/08/2018, 19:51:58 UTC
It is hard to say. When you are an investor you must have feelings. Sometimes, great investments come not by knowledge, but through feelings. With the current market, it is still good to buy. I even believe that it is great to buy now because the prices are low. You can buy what is falling. When the prices will be higher, it will be more difficult to be. Let us hope that the future will be as bright as they are predicting. The market is something unpredictable. You must be ready to win and to lose. These are the rules of the game.

Re: Why people don't vote?
by

on 10/08/2018, 05:19:51 UTC
Politicians are so corrupted that people do not believe anymore. We vote because we want things to change. Unfortunately, when people become powerful, that forget about the population. They first do their business and make money. The population worldwide is suffering. Politicians keep playing with them just for their vote. In this case, it is normal to see frustrated people. How can you vote when you know that it will not change a thing? It is true when you see the situation in many countries. We think that we can chance the leaders of our countries but at the end, you change nothing. The leaders might be different,but the system is the same. We should vote to change the system, not leaders.

Re: Earth’s Greatest Threats

I remember a quote in the avatar movie where Sulley said: they killed their mother and they will do the same here. Definitely, it looks like we are good at destroying. The planet is really suffering because of us. Human beings have caused more threats than good on Earth. Even dinosaurs were not so terrible. From forests to oceans, we destroy whatever we find. In a way, we do it because we want to survive. On the other hand, by destroying the planet, we destroy ourselves. We cannot survive the destruction of our home-world. We need to find a solution and fight for our planet. It is the only place where we can live.

Re: Why spend time in bitcoins?
by
Merritt_Baldric
on 06/08/2018, 21:47:04 UTC
Actually, we are not spending time. It is always good to learn how to invest. Nobody becomes rich easily. The cryptocurrencies are new solutions to become rich therefore people spend their time trying to understand them. I think it is a good thing to do. We must invest in order to gain some extra money. We also can create something interesting and get a patent but this is hard to do. When you invest, you must know where you are investing. The bitcoin education is necessary and useful. People spend time on it because they want to earn something. I hardly encourage you to improve your financial education. Bitcoins can make millionaires in the coming years. You can be one of them.

Re: We need more moral education
by

on 31/07/2018, 23:10:55 UTC
Education is good. We need general education to progress and to develop ourselves. Without education, it is hard to get a decent job. It plays a great role in our society and in our lives. Talking about moral education, it helps us to be better. Moral is important in a society. Otherwise, we are similar to the caveman. I believe that parents must play their roles. Actually, many parents are to busy with work. Teachers at school teach general education not moral. In that case, parents, teachers and church priests or pastors, should come to help improve this aspect of our societies. Their roles are important.

Re: Why people are still buying BTC?

People are buying BTC because they want to be rich. They are investing. Investment is one of the ways to become rich. All the millionaires have invested. None of them became millionaires by working in a shop. Investment is the way. BTC gives that opportunity. Actually, every year, many business opportunities are available. Some are very good, others are just fine. BTC are of the good opportunities to be a millionaire. In maybe 20 years, if governments accept BTC, well, we can welcome new millionaires.

Re: Porn is creating transgenders

Porn is definitely something dangerous. Well, it has its plus and minus. It is good at teaching teenagers how to do it the first time. It can be useful for old people who have no chance to find anyone. Moreover, it the oldest job on Earth. Some people actually like it. There is no problem to that. The bad thing though is when you cannot rid of it. Addiction is the real problem. Once addicted, porn watchers can be turned into anything. To state that Porn is creating transgenders is just one example. Porn can create anything.

Re: What's the point of democracy when there's only 2 parties?
by
Merritt_Baldric
on 28/07/2018, 08:03:29 UTC
Duality! The US democracy is based on the principle of duality. Most of the conceptions on Earth are based on that principle as well. For example, we compare good to evil. In different aspects of our life, that principle exists. In sport, we compare Leo Messi with Ronaldo. In Tennis, we choose between Nadal and Federer. In Formula 1, we choose between Hamilton and Vettel. In politics, we choose between 2 parties. It is a circle. In love, we choose between a man or a woman. Our world is built that way.

Re: Self-hate is a disease

It is really hard to prove your thoughts. Actually, everybody tries to be the best. It has nothing to do with black or white. I agree that Self-hate is a disease. We must love and admire ourselves in order to achieve great things. It is impossible to hate our qualities and at the same time be successful. It sometimes takes time to achieve this. We are not born with self-esteem. We need to work on it. It is hard to achieve but once done, it helps us to be the best. I am sure you agree with me.

Re: Does Aliens exist?
by

on 26/07/2018, 13:05:18 UTC
Well, talking about aliens is always interesting. It is just like gossiping about your neighbour's new car.
But ok let's treat the subject seriously. The fact that we want them to exist does not mean that they have to be true. It is very normal to look for a big brother or just a brother. Our behavior to look for aliens is just like the syndrome of the boy or girl who feels alone and wants a bro or sis.
We sometimes feel so lonely is the universe that we are certain that we are not alone. Are we alone?  Who knows? Everything tends to show us that we are not the only ones in the universe. The whole creation is too beautiful to be only for us. But imagine? What else if we are alone and very privileged to be alive and on Earth? Do they exist? Is it a yes or a no? Who will tell us the answer? The government? Definitely no.
