Any currency can be used of the good purpose for the benefit of the Society and people. Using Bitcoin has an added advantage of no fee or tax involved in it and whole of the amount can be transferred for charitable purpose. and its easy too.

well there are very small fees to be honest though i can not argue with you that it is worse than the ordinary fiat transaction fees so i guess you are kinda right about it

lets hope bitcoins will be used to do only good stuff with it and there will be no bad things in it, i think that if this will happen bitcoin will replace all world currencies in the future

It depends on your conscience. If you want it to be used on the dark side then you can. If you are talking about the real good there are communities that accepts bitcoin as a means of donation.
Also you can earn or invest use the profit as a tool of helping someone through the exchange in fiat.

I disagree with your assessment that majority opinion matters. That means that if more than half of a population in a given jurisdiction decide that some activity of yours is "bad", then they will force you to stop under threat of official violence. That's highly questionable morality; if the activity isn't causing harm or loss, there is no justification for such behaviour, it amounts to nothing more than arbitrary bullying

this depend on what you call the majority, if we follow the 51% rule then you are right but if we call the majorit 99%? it may change everything, why few thounsad people's opinions in the world, should mater more or be equal to the opinion of everyone else?

Ok, why should 99 people determine what 1 person is permitted to do with their own life? Is there any point in being that 1 person, if you cannot make your own decisions? That 1 person may as well not exist at all.

Why have a life that is called yours, when you, the supposed owner of the life, cannot make choices they want to make. Surely your life doesn't belong to you under those circumstances?

i may agree if this 1 person is deciding only for his existance, but we are talking about deciding about the existence of the whole comunity, so we should follow the "majority rule" about consensus

But what if 1% or 2% don't want to be in any community? What if you want to choose to create your own community, with your own rules? There is always some government or inter-governmental organisation that will spoil your plans, and it shouldn't have anything to do with governements or any other people when the land you wish to use for your community belongs (or supposedly does) to you.

What's the point of "owning" something, if a few million people you've never even met can tell you what you are permitted to do with it? Do you really own your house, or land, if you can't choose what you do there?

Bitcoin definitely has a black eye thanks to a few. But I guarantee cash pays for 99.9% of illegal activity in this world.

Agree with that,without doing nothing wrong,bitcoin has have black label,black eye in some people view,this is can't denied. but the only thing still possible is doing some good thing with bitcoin,make foundation with bitcoin,giving charity and others,its will make bitcoin more like money.

I thought it was not easy to eliminates the negative image of the bitcoin, right means it will decrease a negative image about bitcoin but remained negative image of the bitcoin will still remain attached even just a little, but at basically people are already accustomed to using money and are unfamiliar with the new things.

Yeah we really cant take out to other peoples mind that to take negative thougs about bitcoin because of its anonimosity and also bitcoin they know is used for buying illegal goods in web thats why whe are users we need to educate them that bitcoin can be use for goods and we can earn by it. Maybe it future ir wilk be use to buy good stuff and can be a payment on online stores.

yeah of course,we need to planting some education for them.

cryptocurrencies has been used for charity work for a long time, it is mostly because of the fast way of donating even a very small amount with tiny fees.

i remember a year ago i saw a DogeCoin charity work for Africa it think it was called Doge africa or something, and they raised a lot of money just through tips.

one man against the world, huh? bunch of big question right there. if you find it hard to make clear answer, try not to face them straightly, forget them temporarily and go with the around path. learn the mechanics of this world and follow them, use them, that's the wise way to exist. should not be an extremist.

Still now I have been using bitcoin for good purposes like mobile recharge and some online purchase. I have a wish to go for gambling. I don't know whether it is good or bad.

gambling is bad. it can make you lose your bitcoin

anyway I can buy goods, books, with my bitcoin, but I first convert it to fiat money because the shop doesn't accepts bitcoin.

Well, of course, bad gamble, maybe you can use bitcoin for investing in one orphanage or build a house for the future. it adalh a good thing to do

Crypto Swap Exchange

Interesting article and my answer would be a "YES", but the article has some flaws in it, like in cases of users having issues for BTCitcoin transactions is not actually a problem of BTCitcoin but rather a problem of users not using enough fee's for their transactions. It would be nice if we could have stored land titles digitally, surely that would save ownership approvals some time. Another thing that it seems wrong in the article is, he mentioned some countries can't handle BTCitcoin payments due to lack of needed energy and need of miners but that's wrong, since just because a certain country wants to use it, doesn't mean they have to mine it as well since there are more than enough miners out there. Lastly, he mentioned that in future, BTCitcoin fees could be more than mastercard and etc but I doubt it would be that high. BTCitcoin isn't the problem for users but the exchanges that exchange BTCitcoin to fiat are the problems since some of them, suddenly will leave you hanging for nothing and that should be the issue that needs attention.

Absolutely! I think the concept of a world currency is fantastic, and the ability to transfer money instantly across the globe is powerful. To say the least. People may shy away from the new world order stuff, but political boundaries and varied currency and languages have forever divided us. Bitcoin is a step in the right direction.
