I think gambling falls under greed?
You can debate, but I feel these are mixed with - lust is basically the reason to gain money is wanting power.
and I thought being a buddahist is more of a lifestyle then a religion.
Yes you make a good point, it is greed unless you are gambling for fun, it's definitely not mentioned too much because when all the religion books were written there wasn't as much gambling as it is today. |

Exactly. Just look at what lengths determined trolls go to on here botting accounts etc. Shady or unethical businesses and scammers would buy up or create numerous accounts to silence any negative opinions or criticism. If signatures ever get banned or campaigns rates significantly drop in the future imagine all the accounts that will come on to the market when they have no use for them anymore. Even higher ranked accounts will be sold for next to nothing so it wouldn't be that difficult to buy up a shitload.
Considering that the person that created >>6000 accounts just to spam a link got hold of a handfull of accounts that are at or near the 4 seconds per post limit is really scarry. Its possible right now, but I assume they are not willing to dump the money required into it. If timed right it could stop the board for a few hours until someone is awake to handle it. Well thats the thing, right now anyone could create accounts all the time to spam something or troll someone but it doesn't happen that often and when it happens it gets handled by the mods, i don't think the upvote system would be that easy to abuse and I doubt anyone would buy 100 accounts just to do it but whatever. |

no one is safe when you decide to gamble. the choice is only one "risk".
Some people might overcome the risk , I called it very lucky guy that able to beat house edge. But I'm still wondering no matter how hard I try, I never be like them. In the long term, no matter what kind of strategy you use, the house edge will always even out to be what they say. However, in the relatively short term, you can use a method called labouchere and lower the risk as lower wins is required to make a profit. Funny that after 20 posts with thousands of pages of people saying, there is no strategy, there is still some people that think there is some kind of strategy, like you. Lowering the risk? Well of course, that doesn't mean anything, instead of betting 100 bitcoins im betting 1 bitcoin, i lowered the risk, so what? Lowering the risk lowers your rewards, nothing gained there, your labouchere system is not better than any other system and wont do anything, doesnt matter if its short term or long term. You didn't lower the risk there, you can still lose whether in the short term or in the long term with that. Of course it is possible to lose in the short or long term. When I say lower the risk, I do not mean that it would definitely work. Labouchere is much less aggressive than most of the systems out there and it does not require a high winning percentage to win. You only need 33.34% wins for it to complete a list which is relatively low. I have tested it several times and I have gained 10% of my bankroll in one sequence. Well, might just be my luck but it definitely is something that is worth to research about. When you say lower the risk you are just wrong, although there is some betting strats to actually give you slightly higher chances, which are still going to be less than the casino's. Anyways your system is no better than any other system, its math. Some people want to think that there is a system to beat the house but the truth is the only system is to invest in the house because you cant beat the house Investing in casinos is gambling too, you wont have a safe way of winning by doing that either, otherwise casinos wouldnt allow it. The simple idea of being able to beat casinos is stupid, i don't know how anyone can think it's possible, it's obvious that if it was casinos would not exist. Go to the casino to have fun, play some poker or bj and don't try to win millions in 1 roulette spin. |

Damn Mr.big you sure got those sneaky sig spammers with your post. Did you check your own posts lately? If you were wearing a signature you would have been banned most likely due to your super low quality posting but i guess you feel better by throwing shit at other people. I think people is looking too much into spammers that wear signatures when there are spammers like this guy with totally worthless posts without any signature that are still here.
Oh put a sock in it. I average like 1 post per 3 days, while you average like 5. I go for months at a time without posting, and I write in legible English. Plus I don't have a paid signature. Unlike you, I have no incentive to post. If paid signatures were banned tomorrow, you and most of your ilk would likely slither away back to your fetid hovels, or your posting frequency would become like the libido of a 99 year-old man. Maybe you should spend the money you earn from your signature on some English lessons. I don't think such idea gonna work. Naming that board "off-topic" holds a specific reason. In my opinion theymos did very good by keeping off-topic because he is fulfilling spammers desire That is the only place where whole spammers belong to. You can only see that place full of spams. So, give them place. We know non-spammers won't go there. And yes your plan of hiding signature in that section might help in Reducing spams I guess Damn Mr.big you sure got those sneaky sig spammers with your post. Did you check your own posts lately?

I agree. He only have anger that's why he is posting bullshits in red color Control your attitude mate Lol, so you're trying to tell me that indiscernible drivel you just posted isn't spam  Funny how you and the poster above you both have usernames that start with Xin. Gee, I wonder if you're related. But you still post shit nonetheless, what does it matter if you are posting less per day or if your english is good? Spam is spam. Funny how you bash sig spammers when your posts are 1/10 in quality. |

C'mon people. Read OP.
There is an implicit question, about how this applies to the forum.
Yes it's most likely active in the forum if it's active on reddit. |

After huge pumps like this one the price swings for some days and will finally be stable between 10-20 dollars at most, alt-coins are not keeping up with bitcoin yet so im expecting them to still go up these days, at least the most famous ones like litecoin which is only at .0099 btc/ltc ratio

He's not saying he sold but Bitcoin price is doubled in one month. I don't think he sold all, he's one of the big whales out here.
Thats what im saying, like he actually boosted bitcoin price with that tweet in any case, he never said anything about selling bitcoins, i don't know if op failed to understand the tweet. |
|

I wonder how much the price would increase if something like league of legends accepted bitcoins as a payment method, bitcoin would go crazy, im pretty sure. Anyways in the future more and more companies will accept bitcoin, although because of its volatility it's somewhat risky.

Bitwa.la does it wit 0,5% fee, doesnt get better than that I think  I never heard of them until now, i searched a bit on bitcointalk and it seems they are legit, the 0.5% fee is pretty good and i see they accept paypal now too, definitely something to look into. |
|
|
|
I notice the tweet doesn't say that at all.
Yes in fact it says that you should buy bitcoins. Am i missing something? That tweet in any case will make bitcoin go even higher, how do you know he sold his bitcoins? Do you keep track of his wallets or something? |

bitcoin was the best candidate , you just missed the best opportunity to earn more than x2 on it
i think that maybe wasn't thinking of investing on bitcoin, maybe we was trying to tell some actually new coin launched on those months.... What the hell are you talking about? OP, you can always trade in bitcoins these days with the huge volatility, investing into a new coin is pretty risky, how new do you want the coin to be? You can always check for yourself the altcoin section for new coins and pick one that is not a scam, hint: 99% of them are a scam, although you can make money with scam coins aswell but it's too risky. |

I didnt want to open another thread but i also noticed a lot of spam in the lending section, like if you are not going to give a loan you shouldn't be posting anything at all in the first place. Everytime a newbie asks for a loan, 10 posts appear within seconds telling him he needs to use collateral, im not saying it's bad but with 1 person saying it, it's more than enough and it's obvious the ones that are posting there are doing it for their signature campaign, pretty sad.
it's a lot more wide spread than you think, there's similar stuff going on in the digital goods section too. plenty of "vouch please," "do you have a signed message available," "pm me the account so I can look at post history," etc you get the idea. again, it's not bad that a person asks these things, but is apparent people are spamming these questions when 10 or so people ask the same question within minutes. it's probably just as bad in several other sections too. I dont usually go to those sections but then again im not sure if reporting them would do anything but reck my report accuracy since it's not real spam, i guess? There should be a new rule for that, although i understand it's hard since some people are probably doing it because they want to help or they want to buy something, i guess i could take a look at each profile and see if he is doing it more than once but it's really not my job. |

I always wanted to try to be a lender but the collaterals only seem to be forum accounts, arent there any other collaterals i could use? I know some people ask for altcoins but it's stupid, if you have altcoins you dont need bitcoins, aren't there any other digital goods that are easy to sell and are not volatile?

So what you want to do is exchange bitcoins into other coins? I mean there are plenty of reputable exchanges, btc-e but it doesnt have many coins, cryptsy i would probably avoid, they have a lot of coins but they used to have a few problems, im not sure if they fixed them, there is bit-x or coinut too, you can visit all of them and pick the one you need.

So recently I won big on cloud bet. I wanted to exchange .5 BTC ($242) from my account on cloud bet to my paypal so, I withdraw them into my virwox account. Transferred them from BTC to SLL and then to USD and then I only ended up with $177 in my account.
Could someone explain to me maybe a cheaper way to transfer my bit coins to my paypal? Thanks. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this in.
Virwox has been known for having a high fee for a long time, and you should be aware of that before using its service. Apart from using it, you may try to find someone buying bitcoin for PP on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0 or on localbitcoins, but please check the person's trade history and avoid suspicious users. ok i might try that, what do you have to do exactly? You wont avoid fees by using localbitcoins, technically you will but they will probably ask for a higher price than what bitcoin is at the moment so in the end it will be the same, exchanges that allow you to transfer to paypal charge really high fees, btc-e for example charges 7% which is not extremely high but yea. Of course you can always go to an exchange, sell the bitcoins and just store your money there until you find a good way to withdraw them because bitcoin could go down at any moment. |

I don't know, this pump seems to be one of those random pumps that happen to bitcoin and when a random pump happens you know most of the times it will crash back to where it was at the beginning unless something happens or happened and im just uninformed. However i think it actually can hit 500$ even tomorrow but it wont stay there, probably.
