Re: Why is it so easy to hack BitcoinTalk accounts??

The price of a single bitcoin surged to more than $17,000 in early December, and (for now) it is still going up. But cryptocurrency isn't quite like other assets, and Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are surprisingly easy to steal. They're also not always easy to protect.

Re: Can I transfer bitcoins to my bank account?

Some countries implemented to ban the bitcoin in their area and some were not. In countries that has a bitcoin, I think that their banks can`t handle a
bitcoin. but i can gave you advice to transfer your money to your bank account. Our way is we transfer our bitcoin to our online wallet and then we convert it to ethereum and convert it to dollars and after that we send it to our online wallet that has an access in our bank.

When having a bitcoin you are required to have a online wallet, and when using bitcoin you need a internet so you can browse what are the value of bitcoin, the updates when you are trading, mining and others. You can access in bitcoin by using internet, if the internet goes down it has a possibility that the bitcoin will fall down.

Re: What is Bitcoin Wallet?

A “wallet” is basically the Bitcoin equivalent of a bank account. It allows you to receive bitcoins, store them, and then send them to others. There are two main types of wallets. A hot wallet is one that you install on your own computer or mobile device. You are in complete control over the security of your coins, but since they are on a device that is connected to the internet they are less secure. The second type of wallet is a hardware wallet. They maintain high levels of security to protect your coins by storing your coins offline. Offline storage keeps your coins and ata out of reach from hackers.

Re: What is Virtual Money?
by

on 29/01/2018, 04:32:46 UTC
I have researched that Virtual Money can be defined as a digital representation of value that is issued and controlled by its developers, and used and accepted among the members of a specific (virtual) community. Unlike regular money, it is relying on a system of trust and not issued by a central bank or other banking authority. Virtual money originally only referred to the currencies that did not live in the real world and were only exchanged online (typically in gaming systems). In a later phase, virtual currencies started to expand to the physical world and blurred the line between virtual and digital money.

 If you're not a good trader a long term investment is required. Every investment has a risk but holding your btc wisely will not be a risk,  I think it is the safest and best way to do with your bitcoin. if you hold your btc you must wait the time that the value of btc rise up so you can have a big payday.

Re: Why should people use Bitcoin?
by

on 28/01/2018, 15:58:03 UTC
Bitcoin is nothing but a virtual currency or a medium of conducting digital transactions, just like any other digital currency. bitcoin is still a more efficient and cheaper way to transfer money across borders, and several remittance startups make use of this feature. Bitcoin’s cost and speed advantages, though, are being eroded as traditional channels improve, and liquidity remains a problem in many countries. Also, a number of large and small retailers accept the cryptocurrency as a form of payment, although reports suggest that demand for this function is not high. And many individuals feel more comfortable holding a part of their wealth in securely-stored bitcoin, where a central authority cannot block access or take a cut.

Re: I need an opinion on rejecting a job offer or crypto

With the help of bitcoin, If your life becomes stable you dont need to accept your job offer. Just continue to invest in bitcoin. But if you were a beginner or you want to earn more, I guess you should accept your job offer and combine your bitcoin without having a problems. You can earn in your full time job and at the same time you can earn in bitcoin.

Re: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

I have researched about satoshi nakamoto, Some sites says that nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin. But they don`t know what is the true identity of satoshi,  they don`t know if  he is a singular person or a group of people. they don't even know if Nakamoto is alive or dead. But if Nakamoto is a single person, they're currently the 52nd richest person in the world when measured against Forbes' list of billionaires. And judging by the way Bitcoin's price has exploded, they might soon sit on top of that list, potentially as the world's first trillionaire.

Re: What is the relationship between bitcoin and blockchain?
by

on 26/01/2018, 06:23:04 UTC
While bitcoin is the digital asset (currency), blockchain is the technology that bitcoin is built on. Therefore, bitcoin is dependent on blockchain technology. Without blockchain, bitcoin would not be valuable because there would be no secure method of transacting in it. Blockchain provides a verifiable database ensuring that all purported transfers are actually transfers. As a result, you are protected from double spending and fraud.

Re: Is bitcoin used by criminals ?
by
desklamp
on 25/01/2018, 14:55:24 UTC
Due to its value and popularity, many criminals was engaged to used bitcoin as an online payment. Bitcoins may be challenging to track because of its  decentralized system and no paperworks required, so criminals can do some illegal transactions.
For these reasons, we should all be very careful in how we think about Bitcoin, because most evidence suggests Bitcoin to have the same net positive effect, if not more, than the internet. Both the internet and Bitcoin are tools that can be used by the ‘bad guys’ or the ‘good guys’, and thankfully most of the world are in the latter category.

It is too risky to turn all your money to bitcoin, there has no assurance that you can get a big payday if you turn all your money to bitcoin. we all know that the price of bitcoin is constant so lets just invest small money, and these days many people became hackers they might hack your account wallet and steal your money, so be careful.

Yes i think so, that's why government and banks tries to ban bitcoin in their country so they dont obsolete. They know that these days many people are using bitcoin because it was so convenient in terms of making transaction no papers needed, no additional fees, and the best in bitcoin is no middleman needed.

Through online, bitcoin represents as a money. the difference of bitcoin to a real money is in bitcoin you are convenient to buy or sell. you dont need to have a middleman. just buy it directly. In terms of holding your money i guess that bitcoin is better than real money because, bitcoin can raise the value of your money  while holding it than holding your real money it doesnt change.

Re: Why do some government ban bitcoin?
by
desklamp
on 24/01/2018, 16:11:06 UTC
Banks generally charge fees for doing anything with money, even just holding on to it. That's because the banks have created a level of trust that transactions pass smoothly and everything is recorded and accounted for correctly. Therefore, they know that Bitcoin and other decentralised cryptocurrencies allow people to trade directly with each other, cutting out the need for a middleman which, in traditional commerce, is a bank.
Banks aren't happy about being made obsolete and with help from governments they are trying to clamp down on cryptocurrencies after initially dismissing them out of hand.

Re: Is bitcoin an asset or a currency?
by
desklamp
on 24/01/2018, 04:33:42 UTC
i think bitcoin is an asset, a digital asset. the statistical properties of bitcoin, find that it is essentially uncorrelated with traditional asset classes such as stocks, bonds and commodities, both in normal times and in periods of financial turmoil. The analysis of transaction data of bitcoin accounts shows that bitcoins are mainly used as a speculative investment and not as an alternative currency and medium of exchange.
Investors and early adopters like these assets because they are untethered from the regular economy where fiat currencies, more traditional forms of exchange and value transfer reign the day. one of bitcoins advantage is the high volatility, which counterintuitively results in more aggressive risk-reward trade-offs in investment portfolios.
