Re: Ways to improve Bitcoin Community

The most prolific way to help the ecosystem is by simply spreading the word! No matter how much we develop and refine these technologies, it only means something if people actually use it...

Another helpful thing to consider is holding in the face of bear markets. Investor skittishness is the cause of volatility for the most part (among other things). Don't be a part of the problem Wink

Re: Why Bitcoin is Different From Other Currencies?

Primacy and trust. Bitcoin was the first, this means a lot to the community. Bitcoin also has the benefit of the largest amount of interest and trust, due to it being the prototypical cryptocurrency. It is important to note however, Ethereum certainly comes a close second, mostly due to the amount of capital injected into it via the recent ICO wave.

Other coins may differ in many ways. But the primary difference is acceptance/trust.

Bitcoin is a medium of value transfer, not a tool for criminals. Like all things, it can be used for nefarious purposes, against its original intent. But consider, with its unique physical and anon properties, fiat has and will be the largest facilitator of illicit transactions  Wink Unlike a blockchain (possibly the dimmest way to conduct an illegal transaction), cash tells no tales.

Re: Panic selling can contribute to bitcoin price going down?
by

on 17/05/2018, 03:12:32 UTC
Of course! Given the low number of market participants, the relatively low capitalization versus traditional investments, and lack of investor savvy, volatility can be extreme when people react on news and rumors. This is compounded by illiquidity (evidenced by huge price fluctuations when a large participant buys or sells). This will change as more people participate in the market.

Re: This guy has lost 103 Bitcoins

This guy has lost 103 bitcoins he mined back in 2011 and then lost his wallet dat file similar to what I have done but wow this guy must be gutted the amount of money he has lost compared to me  

His Address    166BuLPWHUjqoqiYp5rGE3B5r5AmqgHpoL    Final Balance   103.20832384 BTC

So many people have the same problem and I wonder just how much Bitcoin is stuck not being able to be used Sad

He says "I used to mine Bitcoin back in 2011 and I lost my wallet.dat file (through several stupid moves on my part). It's got approx 103 BTC in it, anyone is welcome to it, I've given up trying."


To our understanding, these 'lost' coins are part of the original plan for bitcoin. Part of the scarcity built into the system, the "diminishing supply", is due to the fact that user error will render some percentage of coins unable to be used. Effectively, they will be removed from the economy, but only for a time. These coins will be retrievable in the age of quantum computing, where these older wallets will be subject to penetration.

Re: Is bitcoin helpful to the economy?
by
VUToken
on 09/04/2018, 01:08:42 UTC
Of course it does affect our economy. The mere fact that the system involves money; though in our case it is cryptocurrency until you convert it to one, it would certainly get to be a factor in the standing of our economy. Gurthermore, trades and direct selling using bitcoins would be good examples.

This is correct, and let us elaborate. By spurring interest in fintech and technology, there is a real world increase in funding via this vector. That private/ institutional investment provides much needed funding for research and development, with positive implications inside and outside of the crypto sphere.

Re: Do we need regulations?

No thing of substance can escape regulation. All things that are consumed by the public, eventually must be regulated. So if we want cryptos to succeed, the best course of action would be to embrace these regulatory efforts, and assist as much as possible in expediting the process,. We must accomplish this while confidence in the sphere is still high. Failure to do so might allow interest to stagnate, prolonging the adoption process and diluting profit.

If blockchain technology can be spread globally, Banks' foreign exchange operations will be fatally hit.

Blockchain technology can avoid cumbersome systems and create a more direct payment process between the payer and the payee!

Each node of the block chain is a collection of functions of routing, blockchain database, mining and wallet service.
I'm always amazed and inspired by how blockchain works. I would love to see more of it. Try to read some video clips on how capable blockchain is in giving us an easy transaction. The idea behind it makes it more convincing by many companies to adopt this technology.

As more corporate/business solutions become available, modern business won't have a choice but to adopt blockchain technology, in order to stay competitive with those who do. The cost and time savings that make the technology desirable, also makes it attractive to business for the sake of efficiency. Ultimately, blockchains that offer utility will most likely be some of the most successful coins, as business utility means a lot more in terms of capitalization rather than consumer adoption.

More Bitcoin charities would do wonders for the space, as there is much value being created, but not necessarily redistributed. And successful Bitcoin businesses would be wise to donate some gains (bit profits, mind you) in order to generally promote and foster the development of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Resource based economy with profit removed from the equation.

I'd like to see this happen. Anyone know of anything in the works that might make this possible?


While ideologically this sounds great, there is little incentive to participate in said economy. Profit drives EVERYTHING in this world, especially under corporate models. This scenario could be possible in an economy that includes a basic income.

Re: Bitcoin is useless

On the contrary! Bitcoin is one of the most useful technologies to be invented in recent memory. The ability to transmit value quickly, painlessly, and cheaply is in the process of revolutionizing fintech and the way we look at money. But we will weather the storm of regulation, just like any incentive technology.

Until adoption reaches the same scale as fiat, cryptocurrency will never be as inherently useful as "money". This is moreso due to the fact that society and commerce are set up around a "physical money" paradigm. When more merchants accept Bitcoin, it will be much easier to use, and subsequently much more useful

Re: Two critical issues: liquidity and volatility

«That’s what’s happening to today’s ICOs. They are raising an eye-watering amount of funds (over 1 billion in 2018 alone), but once the funds are in their wallet, it’s incredibly hard to use them in a practical way.

Here are the two critical issues: liquidity and volatility. The former breaks down like this, I raise $1 million in ETH but I can’t use it to pay my rent. The latter, I raise $1 million in ETH but its value could drop drastically in the same afternoon. Now I’m asking myself….»

Liquidity is an easy issue to overcome. If one is patient, massive liquidations can be spread out over multiple exchanges, and over time. Volatility is the real issue. Until we get more adoption, it doesn't take a lot of selling to make a major effect on the price.

Re: What will happened to bitcoins after one died?

Who owns the bitcoin after someone died?  How to state this in the will? Please share your thoughts.

It's relatively simple to determine who controls a Bitcoin wallet. It's the person with access to the keys.  Cheesy

If you do not make preparations for the future, your coins will remain inaccessible to your loved ones for eternity.  Or at least until quantum computing becomes a more viable thing. Make sure to state your Bitcoin in your will and testament, or at the very least, leave your key with a trusted party, in case of your untimely demise. Given the potential for price growth, I would rather be safe, than sorry!

Wait, the  market is not encouraging to sell your bitcoin now, every business men have one  things in his mind, that is profit, so one has to wait to make that profit, buy low and sell high  ⚡️.

"Buy low, sell high" is always the perfect advice. Until you attempt to do so  Grin

But there is true wisdom in this. We are currently low, buy sooner or later. Even if the markets correct due south, there is more potential for growth, than retraction. If you have not sold yet, why short now? HOLD!

Where can I buy hardware wallet like trezor, and the other? is it safe to keep my bitcoin there? What happens if there is damage to the hardware?

Salutations! We have personally had experience with the Trezor and KeepKey hardware wallets. Both are very secure, and integrated into the various sites that are commonly used while managing a cryptocurrency portfolio. Trezor is the most ubiquitous of the hardware wallets, you will find the most functionality specifically with this particular wallet. And if the device is ever damaged beyond use, you can access your accounts by using your key phrase (generated during wallet setup) with a new device, or directly in many wallet portals (MEW for example).
