It jumpstarts your metabolism, plus, it prevents you from binging all day long with poor food choices.

Exercise is a stress-buster. Doing it outdoors makes it less boring too. You can run, hike, swim etc.

Yeah, I don't think nanobots can cure cancer, per se. But they will help prevent or diagnose the disease, which I think, is still a medical breakthrough. In a way, these advantages in technology are crucial to the humanity's health and wellbeing in the future. Do you agree?

With our social media profiles, we freely share so much about ourselves already. Does privacy really matter if sharing some of our data, will benefit society as a whole? I think the benefits of living in a smart city outweigh any risks of sharing some data, right?

Re: Do we still believe in Bitcoin?
by

Yes I truly believe in cryptocurrency. We all know that the basic aim of everyone for participating in any investment market is to earn profits and there is nothing wrong in that. But a person should have some realistic goals. You can invest in something blindly and then expect your money to be doubled in a week. You should research and study properly and take every decision wisely.

The subject to me is a little misleading. I don't know but it suggests a negative implication. You could have just removed the "Do" and the "?".  Wink

Anyway, as to any kind of investment, not just in crypto, there should always be a process of planning and choosing what's best. And that will not be done overnight. It has to be done over and over again. Investment is synonymous to risk-taking.

that is a valid point. Constant research and planning are required in order to able to choose the best crypto. To be honest, bitcoin may have introduced us to the world of crypto, but on paper it is not the best. Some of its weakness are mentioned in this article.

How would you compare bitcoin to let’s say, Virie –which claims to be a virtual marketplace. Its market entries are non-erasable and has zero manipulation and centralization. Privacy and no hacking are even guaranteed. So how can we still say bitcoin is the best?

Re: Why Millennials like Cryptocurrencies
by

on 27/11/2018, 01:08:03 UTC
I think millennials are very open-minded and quite tech-savvy to begin with, so it won't be a hardship for them to learn and embrace the concept of technology. More importantly, they're not afraid of change --and this is something the rest of us should learn. If our future will be digital and we'll become a cashless society, then we should be ready for that, right?

I think electric cars are a great idea. It saves on energy, but I still think it could explore better batteries. The Tesla is doing great, right? What I’m excited to see are self-driving cars though. Those would be awesome, right?

I’d consider getting a pair. The Google Glass was purely for business, so I’m sure Facebook will add some fun and social features. And regarding privacy issues, we’re still using Facebook, right? I think everyone’s just being paranoid.

Re: Will the quest for a Virtual world help us improve the real world?
by
goldSkylark
on 23/11/2018, 00:18:09 UTC
I always believe that if human brain can think of it, it can very well make it possible. I mean who thought we will ever come up with something like virtual currency?

Do you think (even if hypothetically), a virtual world will give us a chance to introspect and find the missing links of the real world? By setting up the rules for the new world, will we realize what we did wrong with the real world?


It's not so much as "if you can think it you can make it possible" it's about execution. Immortality doesn't work like that, and it's not even remotely possible. It's not like mining a bitcoin, you're talking a life here. How do you think immortality will be achieved? Because there isn't a technology that can make this possible. Even with a super powerful computer, you still can't be sure it will make you immortal.


That’s why research and studies are being done in order to ensure it works. The technology already exists for it as mentioned in these articles supporting a project which aims to explore virtual eternity.

Competition can be healthy. While this means we should take more time in researching each potential investment, this competition allows for the development of products with better features. Each exchange will have to stand out in one way or another, right? Have you come across any new exchanges with huge potential? Would love to share thoughts.

Re: What are your Goals in regards to cryptocurrency?
by

I’d want a crypto that can serve more than just a digital currency. With all the new altcoins now, I’m seeing more features that are proving to have lots of potential, turning the crypto into a whole new financial system. I think this is the reason why I’m currently very intrigued by Virie. It boasts of a blockchain-based virtual marketplace complete with escrow system that comes with a cryptocurrency feature. They say, this will make exchanges seamless and secure, especially with its user-friendly interface. This could totally revolutionize our financial landscape and it could be perfect for ecommerce, in my opinion.

Re: Bitcoin as an example of true democracy ?
by

on 19/11/2018, 00:34:12 UTC
I know what you mean about linking bitcoin with democracy. I mean, using a decentralized system will certainly give society the power over their money and assets. Technically speaking, the creation and use of a virtual currency will distribute and devolve most of the controlling mechanisms of the traditional financial system, thus giving us freedom and control. But democracy will still need leadership, correct? Perhaps we will need some level of regulation or acceptance from the government?

Future technologies list
Self-Driving Cars.
Clean Energy.
Virtual and Augmented Reality.
Drones and Flying Cars

I'll add Blockchain, robotic parts, and some sort of brain interface to your list. I think all of these will make remarkable contributions in the near future. I mean, Elon Musk thinks so too. Hve you guys heard of his Neuralink project? Musk says one could eventually be superhuman by connecting the brain to a computer. Just wow, right?

It’s tough to say when there are so many altcoins popping up, especially when new features are included. Have any of you heard of Virie? It’s a new crypto that seams to function as more than just a digital currency. It features a virtual marketplace, an escrow system and basically a whole new system and network for exchanges. It's interface looks user-friendly too. With new cryptos such as this, we really can't tell if bitcoin can remain on top forever. We'll eventually prefer a crypto that can fulfill our needs and more, right?

Yes, it is important to have universal acceptance. Governments and banks are institutions that society depends on. Trust is the foundation of any currency, don’t you think? With acceptance from the government and banks, people will be more confident in using digital currencies.

Re: COMPANIES IN JAPAN PAYING SALARY IN BITCOIN

wow, it's amazing, Japan is the big country that accepts with the new technologies, it will very good when they use the bitcoin as their payment system in their country

I agree! Paying salary in bitcoin can open the door to even more possibilities. This could lead to remote, virtual work because payments will be made easier. Online businesses will benefit as well. No more PayPal! hehe..
But seriously, this move by Japan is a big deal. It somehow legitimizes bitcoin as a legit digital currency, right?
