A Trader & An Investor

We should have bitcoin for a long term investment. It is like having Gold. You are able to diversify your wealth. Having cash as a long term investment will be a foolish idea as purchasing power of cash keeps falling every year due to the inflation. But Bitcoin has a possibility to appreciate in value.

Bitcoin publicity or education also required in public. I think there should be a tv channel regarding Bitcoin on this channel only bitcoin related news is shown  and Bitcoin related serials and movies should be shown. 

It would be a great publicity for bitcoin but who will do that? Who will be the investor for that? Who will take all the responsibilities as everyone doing anything has a purpose of earning money behind it and bitcoin is yet not a that much well-known currency in the world that could get too much attention just after start.

Because having a bitcoin is much better than having a cash. Bitcoin has a great value. And there are many different ways to earn it. With bitcoin transactions are made more easier. You don't have to go to banks to deposit and withdraw money. Bitcoin also has no tax than cash.

The reason why i have bitcoins instead of cash is also because i can earn them while i cannot earn cash as i don't have any jobs in real world, i just earn bitcoins and i'm using them in my daily life by converting them to cash later on, cash is needed because bitcoin is not usable everywhere right now.
Cash maybe a currency of a single country that you possess which can be in the form of paper or coin, could be used only for a single place most probably with the same value at the time of getting it till spending. While a bitcoin have the potential to be spend internationally with the opportunity of growing value from the time you buy till spending it.
That's right, but the problem is how to attract more people to come and use bitcoin?
I personally know bitcoin because i spend most of my time in workplace online , then i go looking for something new and found bitcoin.
I feel comfortable to do business online and make transaction using bitcoin as it is easier rather than complicated cash.

I don't think we need to do something special to attract more people to come and use bitcoin. If Bitcoin price keeps growing without heavy dumps, people will get attracted to Bitcoin on the their own because they will see how it outperforms other assets in the long haul. They will see the benefits of using it as a long term store of value as well as a safe haven and start keeping their wealth with bitcoins.

It is better to have bitcoins rather than cash as the value of cash will remain the same .on the other hand the price of bitcoins will go on increasing till it reaches a certain threshold.

The number of bitcoins will remain the same as the amount of fiat. It it the price of Bitcoin in fiat that may rise, therefore you will be able to sell your coins and get more profit. But the price can just as well go down, and if you sell your bitcoins at a loss, you will end up with less bitcoins than before. Therefore, it is better to have bitcoins rather than cash only if Bitcoin price is rising, and not because the value of cash remains the same.

yeah trading is very much profitable nowadays and a lot of people are earning bitcoin in huge amount through trading and people really like to online jobs and they are earning their profit through trading and other activity .
Trading is profitable but not for all of the traders, I believe with a huge number of traders only few of them are profitable, it is a risky venture that requires deep knowledge and proper time management to succeed and most of us cannot do that as we have different focus in life. I think we are too comfortable with having a job since it has no risk than risking our money to make money in trading.
I will say that if a person is trader then trade is profitable for him and he will earn good income but if a person is not a trader and do not have skills of trading and just by looking at others he came here to trade then for him trading is not profitable and he will not be able to get any income from his trading activities.
I think not only skills that's necessary but knowledge is essential in the trade and also you must smart when find the information its a very important factor for you can make a decision to sell or buy a bitcoin the event of price movement.

The reply seems simple to me in the case that you have some extra money and holding it in some box under your bed. Then better to chose bitcoin to hold your money in it, because the price for it is growing up as crazy and for cash it only falls.
this logic surely apply at the current moment. as bitcoin price increasing. but bitcoin is a volatile currency. even bitcoin is the most volatile currency of the world. right now it is increasing but you can't guarantee it will increase always or don't fall. bitcoin price also can fall.
so if your reason of having bitcoin is just because of bitcoin price than you may regret. but besides that bitcoin have a lot of features and reasons to have bitcoin instead of cash.

well i would  suggest u  to 80 percent cash and 20 percent bitcoins .because u never know that when the country of ours will totally ban bitcoins until and unless u have too many bitcoins u cant rely totally on them.kudoos Smiley
This seems to be a nice idea your turning your cash into bitcoin and start growing them into real profit not just profit but also you gaining experience which helps you on your daily living. I don't mind bitcoin will totally banned here in my country
He is thinking for to invest only 20 percent of his money in bitcoin which is really a very low amount to invest in bitcoin he at least need to invest 50% of his money so that he get a good profit from bitcoin and if it got banned in your country then no one can steal your bitcoins from you but it will be with you in your wallet.
20% can be a lot or not much depending in your capital ready for investment, besides if someone feels comfortable investing only 20% of his money in bitcoin that is fine since it is better than not investing at all.

Even if you invest 1% of your money now, it will be dominant in a few decades.

I agree even just 1% it is already big enough as we can see that bitcoin is doing great and keeps on increasing as the day goes by. For me, as long as you are believing this crypto currency then you can invest any amount and any percentage that can make you satisfy. Because that will help already the adoption of bitcoin.

How much money are we talking about?. 1% is too little, and being overconfident
might lead to your loss. bitcoin is increasing right now, but always remember that bitcoin
had drawbacks from the past, being a little cautious is not a bad idea.
If being cautious is what you want then 1% is fine even if the profits are not going to be spectacular the possible loses are going to be very minor too, but if you want big profits at some point you will need to take a risk with your money since that is the way it works.
Having 1% is already a profit, if that will be done consistently it will already give you a better income in gambling and for professional gamblers, that is good enough having a good amount of bankroll. They are even happy to have a return of 50% growth of their bankroll in a year, how much more a consistent 1% income.

Value of fiat/paper money is always decrease becouse government can print it anytime they want. But bitcoin prise is always rise becouse the damand will alway higher than the supply. I think price is way have bitcoin instead of cash.
That is called inflation. Fiat is created for inflation. The longer time you hold your money, the less valuable It can be. Bitcoin is totally different since every four years, the halving occurs. This makes Bitcoin prices increase so that people love to use Bitcoin instead of cash
Therefore it's not good to consider fiat as investment, it should be considered a money that we need to spend in our daily expenses in life but when you think of holding, bitcoin is always the better choice. When fiat is devaluing people tend to trust their money with bitcoin.

Yes it is the best choice for its value increasing just by saving or holding it on our wallet, while in having cash it just there as is and there were times we can't stop ourselves to buy things we don't even need because we know we have cash.

you're right. Fiat is impaired and controlled by the government - are two of his negative traits. Bitcoin is free of government decrees. That is why I try to keep their savings in Bitcoins only

I think not on price, instead of cash because bitcoin bitcoin currency is the future. where future money will be in digital form. cash is a transaction that has the old method

bitcoin valuates over time

cash always devaluates

any other reason needed?
You are pretty much right about the cash but bitcoin is notIt  guaranteed to keep going up in price, we have seen massive dips in the past and I think we could another small one when btc reaches  $1000 per coin again because some people who bought at the top during the last run may have received enough of a scare to sell up.
And even cash devaluates still the value of bitcoin is depending also to the current money system.
But when it comes to the service, bitcoin is really a good way to those people who want to transact anonymously and with cheap rates.
besides devaluation, using cash will also reduce the interest of users, because the type of future money will be in digital form right ? after all, if you want to use the cash you can use fiat dude

That's true that the future money will be digitized and the people will be on cashless society. It's all going to happen very soon and that is possible because of the technology. But as of now, there is no force adoption of bitcoin so still it's up to us if we are going to fully adopt bitcoin but better if we are going to use both.
very honestly in present time i think no one can fully adopt bitcoin as bitcoin is still not providing its full services as currency, therefore it is necessary to use our fiat currency to fulfill our needs.
