Re: People call bitcoin a fraud or ponzi scheme

People tend to comment what they do not understand. A Ponzi scheme is illegal. Bitcoin has undergone regulations and is accepted by any structure. It is investment and people can earn money with it. With any kind of investments, you can lose your money. It does not mean that all investments are a Ponzi scheme. Moreover, as many have quoted, the blockchain technology has nothing to do with a ponzi scheme. It is very transparent and useful to the society. It is not only about money. It can be used for different social aspects.

Re: Reason we pay taxes and why we should

Nobody likes paying taxes. I know it is important though. You all mentioned the reasons why we should pay or should not. It is important to remember why taxes were introduced. Actually, it has always existed. The first lawyers were priests. In ancient worlds, priests always asked people to bring something for sacrifice. The money was then used to warship a god and to build temples. Abraham in the bible paid taxes to Melchizedek. It is a kind of spiritual tradition. To get something, you need to give something away. Afterwards, kings and rulers started to collect money as well for their armies or to build cities. From there, it has involved into what we all call today tax.

Re: Blockchain technology for social good?

Society is constantly changing and people are changing as well. We have better education and better healthcare systems. We live longer and are smarter. It is obvious that we will create one day or another, a system that allows us to be independent of states. The actual system is said to be good for people, it has abolished many wrong behaviours, but it is still enslaving people. We cannot live without banks. We depend on them. Those people are just making money on us. The blockchain technology will give us the opportunity to act without them. We can send money without the consent of banks, vote, and even earn money. No inflation, no business war, no nation, no colours. This is indeed good for our society. Blockchain technology puts us together.

Re: The difference between science and religion

Both are parts of our life. No matter what we think about them, they regulate our daily life. Science and religions are together actually. Science is for the physical body and religion for the spiritual one. As you know, we are made of flesh and spirit. Nobody has ever proved that we are made of spirits. We can see our flesh. We cannot see our spirit. We can feel it. When we dream, we know what we can see and we understand that we are not only flesh and bones. It is thus obvious that science and religion must work together to discover and solve the mysteries of our civilizations. They must not fight but cooperate.

Good news actually. It is awesome to see our currency near $6500. It could have been worse. In trading, it is always hard to predict. Talking about the crypto, we do not know about their future. Altcoin is falling and many other cryptos as well. The bitcoin is just doing fine is this is good. Somebody said that bitcoin is the market leader and I think it is true. It is the most popular and we all hope it will grow further. I believe this currency cannot be stopped. It will grow and grow again. The blockchain technology is the future and the cryptocurrency is a part of it.

Re: NEWS Venezuela plans to create a cryptocurrency Central Bank

The idea is good but the problem is elsewhere. People there are suffering. Crypto can help for sure,but now they need real goods such as bread, meat and healthcare. Another currency will not save the situation. Indeed, the country has big debts and it is better to satisfy the creditors. The country needs massive reforms. Politicians need to work with the population and to listen to people. They just want a decent life. A cryptocurrency Central Bank is great. It is even innovative. But again, the real needs now are food and healthcare.

Re: Is it too late to invest in bitcoin? Is it a bubble?

You are right here. It is never too late to win some money. Bitcoin will get higher and we must act now. If you are waiting for an opportunity to invest than it is now. The fluctuation of the market allows people to invest and to follow the line. I prefer action to talks. We all know the future of the bitcoin. We all know that it is the future of the economy. Investing in bitcoin is smart. I do not think it is a bubble. Just try with some money. You do not need to invest all your revenue. Investing is a way to become rich.

I support your theory. In a way, you did a great job with graphs. It is true that the price is falling drastically. When this happens, people are likely to panic. Actually it is bad when people panic and sell. By doing so, they dump the bitcoin themselves. In business, you have ups and downs. People must be aware of this. We have to support the bitcoin if we invest in it. We must not panic and sell everything at once. Let us just be confident and hope. By the way, the cheaper the bitcoin is, the better it is. You can buy more. Anyway, in some months, it will be high again.

Re: 2018 is not a very prosperous year for cryptocurrency
by
r_herbert
on 14/08/2018, 23:39:26 UTC
Definitely, there are entities which can do whatever they want. It is very possible. Even if the market is so big, they know how to control it. There is a great tandem between governments and financial institution. We know well that cryptos are not good for them. The role of virtual money is to end the reign of banks and other institutions. For that reason, I believe that they manipulated the market and we can see the result. This year was not so prosperous for the cryptocurrency. Let us hope that the next year will be better.

Re: When bitcoin prices rise up the market also will
by

It is very possible. Bitcoin is the leader of the virtual money market. Now, the prices are low. It is of course due to the situation on the market. Not only bitcoin is low, but all the other cryptocurrencies as well. Bitcoin is more advertised and the most popular of the cryptocurrency. This situation helps it to be the leader of the market and to show the right direction to the other virtual money. I do agree that when bitcoin prices rise up the market also will. It also can be vice-versa. If the market will be positive, bitcoin will follow as well. It is normal that the bitcoins play such an important role on the market. After all, it is going to make many millionaires soon.

Re: How did Crypto help you out?

The system is at its beginning. It is not working yet. People are investing in crypto and that is good. We are not sure about the future though. Investing in new trends is always good. People must invest in order to make profits. You cannot have a job and think it will make you rich. For now, nobody can say that crypto helped him out. It is too soon to say that. Let us just hope that in the future, it will be a good way to invest or to make money. I think that we should continue buying and investing in virtual money.

Re: stupidity is so close to poverty
by

on 28/07/2018, 15:31:02 UTC
Yes! I agree. Poor people are sometimes stupid. They believe that working in a shop all day will help them become rich. They have no idea about investment. They do not want to buy bitcoins for example. All they do is saving and saving. They even look for ways to manage their money. I even do not care about education. It is not necessary to be rich. You just need to be clever to be rich. Clever and opportunist. Poor people just follow whatever they learned at school. For that they are poor. Maybe stupid as well.

Re: Scammer in society when it will end?

It is hard to say. It is part of the system. There are many similar examples. If you drive a car, you can kill yourself with it in case of an accident. If you play soccer, you can break your legs. If you fight, you lose an eye. Many similar examples are possible. Our society cannot exist without some bad practices. Scamming is a part of those bad things. The technologies we create are not perfect. For that reason, scammers and card thieves will always exist.

Re: Society and Nudity

I kinda agree with you. Actually, we try to play it cool. In fact, we are not. We can show war scenes on TV or completely insane movies. When it comes to nudity, we all shout out. Parents become red and children wonder what is happening. Nudity is our body. It is us. We cannot be bigger if we do not learn to accept ourselves. We have to be at peace with our bodies. Likely, our society hates our body. Religion hates our body. Basically, they hate everything that can give us self-determination and freedom. It is a really complicated topic.

Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ?
by
r_herbert
on 27/07/2018, 15:48:54 UTC
Actually, it depends on different life events. Some people for example never had the opportunity to have a spiritual education. For them, it is hard to say that they know God or understand a religion. Of course, knowing God has nothing to do with religion. I agree with that. But religious education is very important. Most atheist just like religious education. Actually, they just do not know about spiritual life. They think they are cool by saying they believe in nothing. It is strange. How can you be alive and say you believe in nothing? You may not believe in man-made religions. Ok! But in God? please be reasonable.

Re: To Stop the Cartels, Mexico Strongly Considering the Legalization of ALL Drugs

Finally, it is moving in the right direction.
This war has caused so many deaths, so many houses without children and so many trouble.
It is a pain to know that every year; governments spend money-fighting cartels.
The same money is needed for education and research.
 Nobody thinks about how to fight against deadly diseases.
For decades, millions have been poured in that war.
What is the result?
 Can we say finally it is done?
 Can we say mission accomplished?
No! It is an endless war.
The best is to legalize it.
 I do not like the idea myself but really, it is the best thing to do.
Let us spend our money on research and education. Smokers will find their own path.

Re: Can a pastor become a politician without lying?

Can a pastor become a politician without lying?
Well, this question is just as if you were asking if it was possible to play in the playground without being dirty.
Yes, I know, the comparison is too cliche but it has its point.
First, Jesus said himself that a man cannot adore 2 gods.
 Either you love and serve only one either you just lie to yourself.
How to adore Money and God at the same time?
How can you play on the computer and study at the same time?
How can you kiss your girlfriend and do your homework at the same time?
 How can you be poor and rich at the same time?
This is philosophy. I know the answers))
