Bitcoin can be used like any other currency. So you can pay for any goods or services with bitcoin.
We can also do what we can with real money with bitcoin. That's why bitcoin is a money. The only difference is the digital money.

Re: Fixed income with BTC trading?

yes, you can make constant earning through bitcoin trading. you must aware of daily updates and current market trend of bitcoin.

With bitcoin trade it is not easy to get a monthly fixed income. You may lose money due to factors that are not in your control. Especially if you are doing margin trade, you have to be very careful. It is possible to lose everything in your hand.

That's right its impossible to expect a fixed ans stable income from trading as it will be always changing depending on the profit and loss that you make and even if you are into majority times still you cannot come to a fixed income as your profits will be volatile depending on your capital.

People with large capital earn more. As you said, it does not make sense to expect a steady income from trading. The trade nature has variable parameters.
But I think it is more advantageous than fixed income jobs. A good trade will make a good profit.

Re: Do you hate muslems?

If so, why?  

I do not judge people by their beliefs. Everyone is free to believe in what they want.
To me, there are good or bad people. Everyone can have different beliefs and ideologies.
This can not be a valid reason for me to hate them.
This is perfectly good and legit philosophy of tolerance and acceptance towards different beliefs and viewpoints.

The problem is - these directives are not so clear for all Muslims. In fact they are often interpreted as being against basic rules of Islam.

Do you know how other religions are treated in Islamic countries? Go visit Saudi Arabia - where you can be killed for being non-Muslim.

Saudi Arabia is considered to be pinnacle of Muslim evolution, a model country other Islamic states should follow.

You're right. I would not want to live in an Islamic country. It is not possible for a non-Muslim to live in a country where people are killed by a sword. But not all Islamic countries are like that. For example, I was in Turkey last summer. Turkey is both a Muslim and a secular country. Many of my tourists were satisfied like me. But I'm happy to live in France Smiley
Killed by sword? for any reason to kill non-Muslims? I stayed in place the vast majority of Muslims, but tolerance is highly valued here. Never talk about religion when it is being shared. We are here to stay with neighbors in peace and quiet without any pressure and threat. Muslim or non-Muslim, the majority or the minority, are required tolerance, respect each other, help each other to live together in peace without hatred. Mutual respect and mutual respect can bring comfort.

Saudi Arabia is applying the death penalty with sword. As I said, not all Muslim countries are the same. There are secular countries like Turkey.
Radical Islamic groups do not give life to non-muslims. Islam is a religion that fights against Jews and Christians.

Re: Do I have MLM companies to trade on the stock exchanges?
by
Michel de Montaigne
on 16/04/2017, 09:04:50 UTC
Nothing created by MLM companies, especially altcoin ones, should be listed on stock exchanges (or anything for that matter).  They are just, in this case, a complicated way to phrase a Ponzi scheme and these will never turn out well, they'll just collapse after a while.  Don't put your money in.  If you're talking about altcoin exchanges, the same pretty much applies.

We have seen examples of this number. Many MLM companies are trying to trick people using crypto currency.
All these companies are ponzi systems. Therefore, altcoins issued by such companies should not be listed on the commercial sites.
Let the people in your neighborhood know about this.

Re: Difference between Bitcoin and real money?

on 16/04/2017, 08:34:32 UTC
The difference of bitcoin and real money, physically bitcoin is virtual currency. It doesn’t exist in the kind of physical form that the currency & coin we’re used to exist in. Bitcoin is something that people likes because you hold it by yourself and have better security some people also says that for you to escape from the bank. And lastly bitcoin has no value, only exchange value.


I agree with what you say. But bitcoin has value. As in other exchange tools, people's demand for value in the bitcoin is determined.
There is no value in your money if you look at your side. Then it is not worth under.
People can use different exchange tools during shopping. Bitcoin is one of these exchange tools.
There is no difference between bticoin and real money.

Re: Bitcoin or zcash?

on 16/04/2017, 08:17:30 UTC
I think it depends on what you are looking for, it terms of potential growth and profit I will go for Zcash but what you get with Bitcoin is value, trust  and solidity

Bitcoin fulfills potential growth and earnings conditions, apart from value, trust and soundness.
Bitcoin is a much more profitable investment tool when it is considered long term. And the end of the altcoins does not end well. Many people are losing money by investing in altcoins.

My preference is BTC

Re: how strong is bitcoin really?

bitcoin is not so strong enough in case of security and it can be hacked as it happen during the bitfinex attack. well the bitcoin is so strong that it can run without any government people and it can totally by itself for the world to keep going.

The security problem in Bitfinex attack is not related to bitcoin. In this case the bitcoin was not hacked. Hacking was done on Bitfinex systems.
Such hacking events can occur for all payment systems. Bitcoin is a secure system based on existing infrastructure.

As far as I know, there is no weakness except for the 51% attack.

I can order food from home with bitcoin. I can order pizzas, coffee, hamburgers, etc from home.
It may not be practical to pay with bitcoin directly in Starbucks. Or it may not be practical to pay for fast food products with bitcoin.
But we can order these products online.

I live in Dubai which is a muslim country but its a very peaceful place to live as the govt policies are too strict that no one can afford to speak anything rubbish about any religion and if someone does then the govt will directly deport him to his home country.

Dubai is a different place. Not all Muslim countries are the same. Some Muslim countries have a system of secular rule, and some Muslim countries are implementing sharia laws. For example, there are executions in iran and  saudi arabia. Saudi arabia is subject to death execution with sword.

Hi friends,

As far as I know, bitcoin payments take a little time to approve. Will these approval times make it difficult to use bitcoin in our daily lives?
For example, I would get a coffee from Starbucks. Do I have to wait for approval to pay for what I have done for hours?

Well, you are right about that. You need to wait until the confirmation to get your things, but i'm sure someday bitcoin can make it more faster about the transaction. Actually it's the biggest issue though for using bitcoin as the payment in real life.

Unfortunately, the process will not be approved sooner. Because every 10 min. In which a block is found. It is about 10 min. Was found. This time is related to how long the total bitcoins will be removed.
If the bitcoins are approved sooner, the value of the bitcoin will be reduced.

nothing is perfect in this world, but if it happens, it will take a very long time, when they tried to hack her, the bitcoin users also fix all the weaknesses that exist within bitcoin, all of this has always kept a continuous
well bitcoin seems to be perfect currency right now, but it has to be updated from time to time, because the thing that is not evolving with time is going to be replaced by something else, like cash is going to be replaced by bitcoins

Well if you see how bitcoin crashed 2 times in 1 month you can see it's not very strong. Then we have the blocksize debate where parties are not seeming to agree what needs to happen

That could hardly be called a crash

A genuine crash should persist at least for some time. What we have seen (especially the first time) looked more like a manipulated attempt to instigate a panic selling. While this attempt certainly succeeded at some point, the market was quick to find out what's going on and the second time panic selling didn't even start for real (despite the fact that the reason for it should have produced more severe decline). The very fact that Bitcoin is skyrocketing right now tells much about how manipulated these so-called crashes were

Bitcoin is still an experimental work. So it is necessary to keep this in mind when assessing the bitcoin. It is not a seated system like traditional money systems. So the price fluctuations are very normal. It is very important to be able to act calmly in dump and pump situations.

Still I am for BTC or bitcoin. Though Zcash is gaining  base supports,still bitcoin is number 1 and it has already proven to us its worth,purpose and reliability. Zcash has more challenges to hurdle to prove itself but it is worth a try.
The only use of Zcash at the moment is trading and other than that i did not find any valid use and if you are miner you can make some money since it is a new coin,they have to build casino's that start accepting Zcash ,you really cannot compare bitcoin with Zcash.

It is not right to compare zcash with bitcoin. We need to look at the innovations that they have made when evaluating any altcoin. The prices of some altcoins in commercial sites are increasing rapidly. But there are no innovations brought by these altcoins. Only dump and pump are changing prices. Already this kind of altcoins are dying after a while. We need to be careful.

Even today I do not see much competition between Bitcoin and real money. Each of these currencies operates in its field. This is likely to governments and international financial institutions make problems.
yes that is right that both the two currencies have their own vales and they operate in their own field. like bitcoin is mostly use of online services and only in few places it can be use for buying stuff while USD is mostly use for buying and selling stuffs in real life and is mostly in local shops.

In fact, the dollar is being used for online shopping at a high price. Today we can shop with virtual card in all online shopping. In real life, we do not use paper money. We shop by credit card.

Bitcoin is used for digital shopping. But the greatest feature of Bitcoin is the ability to shop without brokers. We control our own money only by ourselves.

Re: Do I have MLM companies to trade on the stock exchanges?
by
Michel de Montaigne
on 02/04/2017, 23:23:36 UTC
But as far as I know, the coins issued by MLM firms are not traded in stock markets. Are there any MLM companies traded on stock exchanges?
You may be talking about MLM coin getting listed in altcoin trading platform other than their internal. The answer is no and even if there are any, the price on external exchanger will be way lower than in internal so you are forced to sell those coin on predetermined manipulated price in internal trading platform.

Better not to get fooled by all big promises made by those crypto based MLM projects.
I agreed with you mate, most of the MLM didn't succeed here in crypto world. and even there is a big company of mlm here that has been listed in crypto currency still most of it are just hyped and giving any promising for them to recruit the investors and join to their business.

All MLM companies that use crypto money as a product are ponzi. All crypto money established up to now is a victim of membership of MLM companies. They are fooling people by showing them bitcoin. They say that their crypto money will be worth like bitcoin. People see it as an opportunity and invest. Well, they're finally losing.

Muslims in general are warlike and violent people.  Their religion teaches them violence is good.  Toward athiests, toward people that try to leave the Islam faith, toward gays, toward thieves, toward women that are accused of adultery.

It's no surprise that in such environments, radical extremists could arise who take their violence to other countries.

Yeah. According to Islam, the death of non-Muslims is a reward. But last summer, the Muslim people I knew in Turkey were really secular people. This changed my prejudices. I think that Muslimity needs reform. We did the crusades at the time of forgetting. Just like Christianity, it has to change in Islam.

Bitcoin is more advantageous than other investment vehicles.
There are high ups and downs in BTC price during the day. You can profit from this price fluctuations if you can get in the right place and get out of the right place.
Price changes in other investment vehicles are not so much.

Bitcoin still consider as risky investment  so IMO , the best investment still property and land.
Recently bitcoin become popular when it able reach $ 1500 that interest more people to invest bitcoin compare people to save their own local currency / money

First of all, bitcoin is still an experimental work. Like other investment instruments, there is time. It would be wrong to think of earning a short time. It is necessary to think long term as it is in other investment instruments. If you invest in the long term, it is possible to earn money with bitcoin.
