Are money or gold halal? Crypto is both a medium of exchange and store of value. In fact I would say it is more halal than fiat currencies that rely on a debt based monetary system and interest payments,whole fiat currencies can be manipulated by governments and bankers.

interesting answer; what do you think [MENTION=253]the Great Khan[/MENTION]
 
Here is an article that discusses the halal issue
https://cointelegraph.com/news/is-bitcoin-halal-how-cryptocurrency-conforms-with-islam-and-sharia

and another one talking about islamic cryptocurrency

https://www.rt.com/business/408455-muslims-awaiting-halal-cryptocurrency/

I remember a few years ago there was an Islamcoin or such like, it probably was a scam setup.
There is another Islamic crypto project currently, I looked at it a few months ago but I can now see they have made progress, I can't vouch for its legitimacy.
https://www.halal-coin.org/ico

Personally, I don't follow any religion so is not an issue to me but I understand people's sensibilities around this issue.

whats the best amount to invest as a starting point? My firend has just bought some litecoin and ethereum and I'm thinking of doing the same but I'm unsure how much to actually invest as a first off..especially as it could be a bubble.

Also is it halal?? I havent heard a proper answer to it yet..

I've addressed the halal issue elsewhere in the thread.

You can invest a small amount if you wish, as you can buy fractions of a bitcoin. I do own altcoins ie coins other than bitcoin but I consider myself somewhat of a bitcoin maximalist ie it's the premier crypto & most likely to succeed. Litecoin has been around a fair while as well but is less valuable as there is more of it, it's a legit coin but I find it's creator Charlie Lee to be a bit shady, Ethereum again I own but am on the fence about it's capabilites, it's more of a platform rather than a currency. Other coins I like are monero, zcash, dash, waves, komodo.Note that many cryptos are scams & are set up with the plan to fleece people of their bitcoin.

I recommend you read these two authors both from the same financial news outlet but with different outlooks and make up your own mind, Jim Rickards I have a great deal of respect for but he happens to be anti bitcoin

Bitcoin is 9 years old, there's literally reams of regulatory advice and consultation in various jurisdictions, some more favourable than others, Japanese authorities have embraced crypto. I acknowledge that governments could change their position & criminalise aspects of bitcoin etc

Surprised by this thread.

I do recommend putting a small amount of your savings in bitcoin. Also look up Vertcoin. Staying with Bitcoin should be OK too but I don't think the real deal of the future crypto currency has been decided yet. Don't miss the train. In 10 years it might not be bitcoin but cryptocurrency will stay.

But if your unsure then for now I would wait until after Nov 18 because of all the technical infighting going on in the Bitcoin community at the moment.

I would like to start buying Bitcoins. Is the best way to do this through blockchain.info? I tried to buy using my debit card but my bank would not authorise the transaction. Bank transfers require identity verification such as uploading a copy of your passport/driving license etc. Is it safe to do this?

They are all pretty safe in that respect and there are multiple exchanges you can use but the cheapest one is probably using GDAX which is the same as Coinbase and you can trade on there without any fees. There are some risks involved so make sure you use 2FA and never store your coins on any exchanges afterwards.

I've heard they are even think of another fork in December with another new coin Bitcoin Silver. It's really a joke now and it wouldn't surprise me in a few years if they get unseated as the undisputed king of the crypto world.
 
Interesting news from Iran
https://cointelegraph.com/news/iranian-government-plans-new-infrastructure-for-bitcoin-users
Tensions between Iran and the US
Bitcoin is known to start with countries in the west and as the tension rise between Iran and the US, the former is strategizing to incorporate Bitcoin into its system. Iran and the US currently have a problem in their relationship as Donald Trump called the deal with Iran as “the worst deal ever.”

The Islamic republic is still suffering from international sanctions that affect several of its economic sectors, including finance, energy and the shipping industry. International sanctions have also hindered Iranian citizens’ ability to use online payment platforms like PayPal, Venmo and Braintree.

With the sanction, the Iranian government has come up with a way to go around and that is through the implementation of Bitcoin as the main form of online payment. One of the advantages of Bitcoin is the fact that it is a decentralized currency which cannot be controlled by a central identity like a corporation or government; thus countries are not able to sanction payments.

With Bitcoin, Iranian citizen could easily bypass economic sanctions and be able to conduct international trades.

Bitcoin Infrastructure for Iran
The acknowledgment of Bitcoin to Iran’s economy is a huge milestone for cryptocurrencies. This means that the government can now open their doors for advancement in terms of payment and currency.

According to reports, the Iranian government has already researched Bitcoin and its possible benefits for its economy.

Amir Hossein Davaee, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology. shares:

“The ministry of communications and information technology has already conducted a number of research studies as part of efforts to prepare the infrastructure to use Bitcoin inside the country.”

Moreover, Davaee added that Bitcoin activities include money creation, so the Central Bank of Iran needs to set the ground rules and supervise related activities, otherwise, this would disrupt the economic cycle. Iran is now on the edge of creating a proper infrastructure not only for Bitcoin but also for other cryptocurrencies.

Once this project is finished, they will be properly integrated and regulated. After the economy of Iran greatly suffered from sanctions, experts believe that Bitcoin and other digital currencies will greatly help Iran’s economy to get back on track.

Not looking good today Bitcoin! Big drop :(
 
Segwit2x hard fork has been cancelled, bitcoin hit another all time high.
 
So bitcoin is pretty much like gold. Its value lies in the people's perception. It has no utility whatsoever.

Invest in it if you are bored and looking for excitement; but don't expect to make any fortune out of it.

Just saying it has no logic behind its ridiculous value. It can just as easily go out of fashion tomorrow.

Likewise gold can easily loose its value if new philosophies emerge with new wave and people start considering it as dull shiny object all of a sudden. Hasn't happened yet but doesn't mean it never will. You can't use gold to build buildings or ships like iron or steel.

You don't wanna invest into something that is solely valued based on people's perception. It's a gambling, not investment.

Except it isn't, gold has real value while BTC is driven mainly by speculators & the criminal underground, also people who don;t know much about cryptocurrencies yet simply want to make a quick buck. The reason why it gained traction was due to security by obscurity, people think you;re anonymous when transacting via BTC except it still has to be converted into real money. That will always be it's Achilles heel.

Umm what, what you're talking about are all currency derivatives or instruments backed by real $ that can be put up as legal tender. BTC was formed as an alternate to the current fiat currencies, yet it's still tied to the USD & goes up & down like a (stock market) bubble.

If you;ve followed BTC, as closely as I have, then you'll know that it's the biggest vaporware out there, miners made free money a long time back literally out of thin air.

Bro to think that other derivative products are not making money out of thin air is guess another view. Yes, we cannot see the guy's behind BTC but I dont have a ethical issue with that.

Fact is that we, as ordinary consumers, will never see the real backers of any cryptos but for me, its just another thing to trade. Nothing more or less.

BTW, I am not an expert on this matter! But just my 2 cents.
 
Interesting to see this thread !

I own 2 bitcoins and 5 ethereum, i did trade some altcoins like ripple etc earlier this year but to be honest right now apart from checking prices every now and again i reckon its probably better off buying whatever you can afford to lose and just leaving it for a couple of years. In my opinion, bar bitcoin and perhaps ethereum i doubt any of these coins will exist in a decades time, the technology has a bright future but the industry is still working things amount themselves..its an extremely in the cryptocurrency lifespan and there will be many changes and they work things out in the years ahead.

In my opinion, buy what you can afford to lose and stick to bitcoin and ethereum..it might be worth something in a decades time

Sure but it;s not a matter of ethics or anything, the real problem with BTC is its volatility & how it;s become an asset class rather than a currency alternative.

Let's say you pay me 1 BTC, worth $6K today, for some work. I do not encash it immediately, for any number of reasons, it tanks $1000 a day after so I'm at a loss of $ 1K for no good reason other than dealing in BTC. This is the problem with it today, it also takes an enormous amount of time & computational resources for the BTC network to work, it's a major source of global warming today, believe it or not.

Very interesting and thanks for taking the time to reply.

My view is that owning BTC etc is as you describe above prone to 'devaluation' risk. I would rather trade and make a quick $ off it and move on. Pass on the risk to many others out there and that's about it.
 
1st time bitcoin investor here
Just in matter of 5 months, my bitcoin profits is in 6 dollar figures
i withdraw some of the profits and invested in ethereum and ICO of electroneum
also took a 10 day china canton fair vacation + biz trip with some of the profits
will continue to pump future profits into new promising crypto currency
money is real ....
 
Whats happened with Electroneum, seems to have gone offline to sort out some security issues.
 
Pretty bad day but lets see if things stabilize

Gold is valued because women find it pretty which is entirely subjective criteria. It doesn’t have any real objective value.

So far it has stood the test of time however.

All the SegWit2x supporters are behind cash, it is more profitable to mine so miners are getting behind it and ofcourse Roger Ver and his crooks are trying to destabilise the real BTC. At the moment there are over 100k unconfirmed transactions as we speak which is very worrying.

Then you don't know much about gold do you? You could simply use wikipedia & that'd be it. It is one of the most important metals in terms of industrial utility, it is used in IC's also electrical & electronics industry widely, there is an alternative to copper i.e. aluminium but none for gold. It's also used in medicines, satellites so on & so forth, you have little knowledge about the utility of gold it seems.

In comparison BTC is vaporware, through & throughout.

It depends on your location. https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/ is a trustworthy website where you can give in your location and get appropriate suggestions.

In general for those in Europe I do recommend coinbase.com. Sharing sensitive information online is never 100% safe but I did share my ID on the coinbase platform. At the end of the day you have to make a trade off and share some sensitive information in return of a trustworthy service. For me coinbase does seem professional enough to handle sensitive data with care.

After registering on coinbase and depositing some cash I would sign in at GDAX.com as Asif Khan suggested.

I would not suggest investing in any altcoin just because it's cheaper in comparison to Bitcoin. You don't have to buy one complete Bitcoin. One single Bitcoin can be divided into 6 decimals. You could buy 0.01 BTC at an fixed interval and it would be more likely to be profitable in the long run than buying some altcoins just because the price is lower and it has seen an upward trend lately.

I want more and more people to be exposed to Bitcoin and cryptocurreny in general because I do believe in its potential and at the moment I think no other altcoin is ready to take Bitcoin's place because of many reasons and Bitcoin having a much larger mainstream media presence is one of it. New money will come in but before it can go anywhere it will pour into Bitcoin, which means you can continue to expect Bitcoin's price to rise in the long term.

Hence I do believe you are better off just buying Bitcoin at the moment, storing it at a safe place and keeping an eye on things from time to time. Trading with altcoins however requires much more time, research and is stressful. The chances of ending up buying into the hype, losing your money and damaging health are big. People on the internet will be quick to suggest which altcoins are the best and which you should buy but the number one reason behind this is that they themselves have already invested their own money in the coin and just want you to ride along the hype.

Bitcoin is a very big topic. If you are coming in with an attitude of wanting to make quick cash then you are missing out on the bigger pictures. If you just want to throw in some money and see how it goes then that's as good as gambling.

This is a good place for beginners to ask question regarding Bitcoin and get them answered quickly:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/

But beware in general reddit is not the best place to get serious advice. I would recommend bitcointalk forum as a better alternative. You can also search youtube for videos of Andreas Antonopoulos on Bitcoin to understand why Bitcoin is much more than a get rich scheme.

The last few days have been very interesting, seeing the battle between Bitcoin and the poser "Bitcoin Cash" has been a thrilling experience. The results did not surprise me but it was still very heart warming to see. To me it just reinforced the notion that at the moment no other altcoin is anywhere near Bitcoin. Technology is forever evolving and if in the future a better and worthwhile alternative to Bitcoin makes it presence then most welcome but at the moment all I see is vague concepts and a lot of hype coupled with a wishful thinking to replicate Bitcoin's success, for the sole purpose of making big money.

The forks are indeed a nuisance but I hope now that s2x drama is behind us, the community can find a better way to deal with the current issues in the tech.

Correct.

What we learned from last weeks drama is:

1. Bitcoin is the absolute crypto king and Bitcoin cash is just another altcoin that was manipulated by Roger Ver and Jihan Wu.

2. Every time Bitcoin corrects or crashes it rebounds and breaks it's own all-time high record.
 
You will find people swear buy it whilst others will call it a scam. It is clearly a ponzi scheme where existing investors are being paid by the recruitment of new investors. When that happens it will crash and disappear into oblivion. If you feel it will be around for a while then you can make a good return otherwise keep well away.
 
According to Bill Gates "Bitcoin is better than currency". He also has invested a lot in Bitcoin. Still not sure how this thing works though.
 
[MENTION=144682]Sirris[/MENTION] thanks for the valuable info and links..

I've been researching this topic for a while now and the more I learn the more convincing it sounds. I am enticed to ride the wave.

Also, who read the paper claiming the founder of Bitcoin "Satoshi Nakamoto" is actually Elon Musk? Elon denied it yesterday..but it is a convincing argument...Elon's one of the few who understands crypto currency (because of PayPal) and has a deep understanding of Economics.

When electroneum opened their wallets in October, they were heavily ddosed and serious hacking attempts on their server.
They closed it and took professional help from https://hackerone.com/electroneum
Electroneum.com wallets will probably open around 3rd week December

I have trust in Electroneum and bought 1.2 million Electroneum coins during ICO investing like $10K
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/electroneum/
Right now its priced at 0.046, 1.2 mill x 0.046 = $55K
IMO, when electroneum wallet goes live, Massive selling will happen people will try to make instant profits, price will shoot down to $0.01 (or even less)
While many people are saying this as a scam - i hold a contrarian approach and waiting to pump $10K more to purchase 1 million more Electroneum (if and when price comes to around $0.01)
 
I have a funny feeling this going to come crashing down.

I don’t know much about crypto currencies so I may be wrong but I how much more can they appreciate this bubble will eventually burst.

"bubble will burst" I have heard people say this when bitcoin was valued at $200. Sadly back in the days I was just a poor kid without any means to get my hands on this stuff.

You don't know much about crypto so how about looking it up.

Let me state it here: next year in Dec 2018 bitcoin would still be a thing. It won't crash down to extinction.
 
Do people know CEO of Social Capital (the only VC in the world to have successfully funded more than 5 major tech companies in the last decade) Chamath Palihapitiya has his entire fund long on Bitcoin? He is rumored to hold at least 5% of all Bitcoins...and no, no government can pull the plug and devalue or make it disappear. Bitcoin is here to stay. It's only a matter of when there's a bridge build to load/unload your coins to cash.

$200 is not $10,000. Right now it seems ridiculously high, it’s unsustainable.

Yes but percentage wise the jump was huge and then it went to $1000. I am not here to sell you anything, in fact I would be very cautious at the moment too. But I want you to at least look up the topic and think about it instead of just brushing it aside as some kind of a scheme.

It is a sad fact that the idea and technology has been around for years but the only time the general public heard about is when there is some money to be made.

My goal is to make people curious about it while advising the to stay a bit cautious.

It's partly because it isn't regulated, that's why the bubble hasn't burst yet. Also the reason, why there's so much money pouring into it. With regulations there will be more scrutiny into what/who is pouring money into crypto, their sources of income & of course taxes. The tech behind crypto blockchain is something different, people conflate BTC or ETH with the tech itself & that's stretching it to the say the least.

I doubt people use that in any large numbers, if true that'd be good but then the bigger issue is corruption itself. As for crypto, does anyone really care about the planet :69:

I can't support mining, never have & never will, so long as I care more about the environment.
