1001  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? on: August 15, 2017, 06:27:49 PM
By providing data of the BTC trend from year to year. If they are doing business and understand how it is done then there will be high probability they will see the opportunity in BTC

This method or way can only be successfully implemented if the businessman will be open minded and ready to accept new things. I tried to new generation the same way, but they went very casual and just passed by what they heard. Tried to indirectly make fun.

But I was stuck to their two valid points about BTC, the fee and ofcourse the time taken to complete the transaction. The fee might not matter if the spender is earning, but the time will.
1002  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So Bitcoin is better than Gold? on: August 15, 2017, 06:02:51 PM
yes. bitcoin better than gold. every month the price of bitcoin always up.
The rise in bitcoin prices was higher than gold.
I prefer to invest in bitcoin rather than gold because the benefits of bitcoin investing are much greater than gold

Can i tell you something? There is only one thing that always goes up and never comes down. It is age. Don't get over-excited by the recent Bitcoin price spike. There is going to be a major correction somewhere down the line.

Exactly true, rather the recent spike is considered a bubble which have possibility of bursting. I also believe this fact, that their are numerous possibilities from various direction, that Bitcoin can take a hit, in technical terms "correction".
But till then if one is a good predictor, he/she can enjoy the profits from it rather than Golds.
1003  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Bitcoin and real money? on: August 15, 2017, 11:03:08 AM
The difference between bitcoin and real money is that bitcoin is a money used in internet while real money is something we use physically and we do not need any third party to use it as a payment.

Both are real currency I believe, the difference is that Bitcoin is decentralized and fiat/local currency is centralized. What do you mean by the 3rd party you mentioned? If you you are talking about wallets for Bitcoins, I might remind you we also have to use banks and its services and promissory note etc to do high amount exchange/transaction.

Also I want to add in their difference, Bitcoin is quite slow and costly than fiats/local money. But I believe this differences will someday diminish.

Barcelona has got again the favor of Referee against Real Madrid. the Catalan Club has got a penalty which was a total injustice where Navas didn't touch Suarez but the referee called it a penalty. moreover, Ronaldo got a rubbish second yellow. that match was completed with a lot of tragedy which discolors the El Classico. shame on the referee.

The game was really disheartening, due to lack of proper rules against referee's fault the issues took place I believe. The referee seemed to be drunk or clearly not neutral. Showed wrong card to wrong person in both the case of Suarez foul dive and Ronaldos red card. FIFA should take this seriously, nobody is blind, its clear they punished the player without justifying or investing the case. This kind of foul gameplay is played many times with several teams by the referee.
This just ruins the mentality of the viewer.

The design is bit mess up. I would prefer simple design and can easy understandable.

I agree! The old system was better. This one looks like crap to be honest

I joined recently, as a new member I found this design quite good and appealing. It might be because I didn't saw the old one.
Rather the design and ofcourse the blackjack game attracted me. Do you guys miss something other than the looks in the new system?
1006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: August 14, 2017, 07:16:54 PM
Great whitewash and win by 3-0 for India. Hardik Pandya was chosen as the man of the match and Kohli too is proud of his decision to include him in the team. Really did not know that he was capable of making so many runs even though he comes down the order. After Ashwin and Jadeja, he too is an all rounder and hope they bring him top the order as he is capable of making runs. Again truly deserving to be the MOM and Dhawan was chosen as the MOS. Congrats to the entire team for winning 2 matches with an innings and the first one by 300+ runs.

Pandya really deserved what he got, the way he played truly made many speechless. Every cricket enthusiast must have enjoyed his innings, it was brilliant. Yes an all rounder with great skills. I believe the competition with other powerful teams is going to be outstanding. WOuld love to see Pandya's performance against them.
1007  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin prices rise high on: August 14, 2017, 06:39:17 PM
Bitcoin prices will continue to rise as bitcoin demand rises .. the crowd buys these coins while the number of bitcoins in the world remains. It will make the bitcoin will continue to rise. Plus the need for transacting bitcoin is now widely done. So many companies choose to pay with bitcoins.

A gradual and steady rise is safe, sometime it seems its being hyped. People buying it without understanding it, which might give BTC a new high but it the people will sell it as they don't know about it. The crowd shall buy but with proper knowledge. Otherwise this sudden rise might give the new investors a panic which will make a scar on value. I am not against the rise, I am just pointing that we should teach the newcomers for whom the price has come this high, excluding the other factors relating to it.

i so like the team behind kick ico.. they are so active.. i just hope that they will be able to sold out the tokens in less than a week.. anyway, are you done with your presale?

The team is really outstanding with all aspect of services. The preICO is over and it was really responsive, and I believe so will be the same on 29th August.
1009  Economy / Economics / Re: Most people dont even know what this is yet. on: August 14, 2017, 09:09:16 AM
From my experience it's quite the opposite, I actually noticed that a surprising amount of people already at least heard of Bitcoin. Also press coverage seems to have heavily increased.

It's true, Bitcoin is getting a lot of exposure recently. People at my work are talking about it because it's been all over CNBC. Friends I grew up with are talking about it on Facebook. And the people that I told about bitcoin have mostly all come back recently to ask for my opinions or advice. I hate giving investment advice! I just tell them that I've been dollar cost averaging for years, bit by bit, and trying to earn whatever BTC I can.

Most people I cam forward, heard about it but doesn't know exactly what is it. One of them doesn't believes the price movement, and think it is done by the creator. But my gamer friends are capable of understanding it as they are able to use it to buy stuffs and games.

Recently the GoT Hack case made many to search about Bitcoins.
1010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE THE TOP 3 COINS THIS YEAR? on: August 12, 2017, 07:51:12 PM
Bitcoin ofcourse will be on top of the ranking list. For the 2nd it will be Ethereum and 3rd positions is tough to predict, let the Q4 come and then it can be possible.
But as per the current market capitalization XRP, BCH and NEM seems to have chances of taking 3rd place. I would like to see BCH or NEM, NEM being similar to ethereum and a good one, I see chances of it.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: August 12, 2017, 07:17:31 PM
What happened to chelsea? 3 goals very fast and 2 red cards, the first game at home and really unexpected. I regret taking handicap for chelsea Angry
 

Basically one of their bad performance, but I hope they will perform good from next game. Don't know though, even I was shocked as I selected Chelsea.
It seems I will need to pay more attention while betting next time.
Tomorrow I want to see Man U win. And I think Newcastle might show something great tomorrow.
1012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: August 12, 2017, 07:04:05 PM
India should have chosen to field instead of batting first. I guess they'll be all out before 400 (may be even 350) as SL now are bowling well and they managed to take the wicket of Dhawan and Rahul within a gap of just 30 runs. Looks like they'll have to work harder while defending their runs as the target is achievable for SL. SL may even manage to add runs after scoring.

I think India can still put a decent score in the first inning, if Pandya and Saha managed to add some important runs. Agreed with you that Sri Lanka can wrap up Indian tale within 400 runs but still its a good score. By the end of 1st day, both the teams have equal chance but India is favorite as they have outperformed SL in previous matches of this series.

Yes, chasing 400+runs will be a good score and going to be a difficult task for Sri Lanka in their shabby position as it already 2-0 lead in the series. But they've done well in bowling. In the case of struggling a little bit and come back in a real manner and 329 is pretty good in the first day.

I think the run on boards can reach 450+ or even 500 if the 2 batsman, Saha and Pandya plays well. But SL test batting line up seems weak, or might be out of form, few batsman didn't showed their true game in the previous two test. Indian Bowling is superb, so even around 400 runs will be a challenge to chase for Sri Lanka.
1013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs Bitcoin Cash on: August 12, 2017, 06:39:37 PM
Bitcoin will be preferred more than BCH, many do have Bitcoin cash but most of them claimed and still haven't purchased.
Most of my friends and even myself consider BCH as other normal altcoins. Just because its name is attached with Bitcoin it got a nice uprise in its value so quick. It will be there but won't be of that value compared to Bitcoin.

1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: how do you predict a coin price ??? on: August 11, 2017, 06:55:55 PM
I don't know how to predict it exactly, I just follow the market, when the price is dropping it's time to watch, then when the price start changing and moving up it's time to buy. When the price stop increasing you can sell it, so what you get with this is profit. For me it's not an exactly science full of methods to read the charts, etc... I just follow the feeling and hope for the best (talking about Bitcoin or main AltCoins only, not those flash fake ICOs).

Predicting cryptocurrency often becomes complicated and doesn't overtakes our expectations. But sometimes it becomes really easy as recently during fork and split, nearly most predicted Bitcoin will rise and you can see the results. Also market news and movements around the world helped me many times to reach my predictions or atleast went near to it.
1016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin will survive after 100 year ? on: August 11, 2017, 05:30:12 PM
I am not sure, neither anybody can. But I think it will be still there as transaction medium or option and more as currency rather than as an investment option. Because the price might get stable and the investment return might get reduced. Its just a perception, and a valid possibility, but no guarantee it will happen.
1017  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin in Economics class? on: August 10, 2017, 08:13:39 PM
Someday it might or will be observed that Bitcoin being taught in economics class. Also in various management subjects.
But for the moment it won't be happening as all know its not yet being accepted or legalized throughout the world.
1018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you consider trading as gambling? on: August 10, 2017, 07:46:07 PM
Trading and gambling are similar because both are create capital. Both are unpredictable and involves money. You take a risk in gambling and trading, you can earn profit in a short time. Trading is also consider a gambling because sometimes you earn profit and you lose money. Both are make money if your lucky, and a chance to lose money. Both are involve capital and its unpredictable no one knows if your money back with profit.

Gambling and trading involves money to gain more profit.  You can gain profit from gambling in just an instance while in trading needs a long time to gain and wait when to buy and sell a coin. There is an assurance that you can gain profit in trading. There is more possible to gain more profit that can add for capital to save and use it to invest in other things.

I disagree, you can't make easy money on gambling always, maybe sometimes, yes, but not always, and I'd rather do Trading since I'm waiting for a bigger profits in the long run and I'm sure that I could get some profits in return, unlike in gambling which is pretty risky that you don't even know if you are going to win or not.
sometimes in trading you don't have to wait long to gain a profit. what if we lose in gambling the risk is to lose all the money you bet on. while in trading even though the coin you buy down the risk lower is not losing all the money or maybe you can hold and wait for the coin to go up.
Time and patience is nore needed into trading and many gamblers and people wants instant money thats why they choose gambling in time over trading which is too hard to speculate when will be the coin will rise or it will become dead .I experience that before but i dont even choose gambling than trading.
I somewhat do consider short term trading as gambling but we can’t declare it a gambling. No matter what type of trading you are into, you need to have proper strategies in order to succeed in the respective trading. Moreover trading is not totally dependent on your luck.

Gambling is full of luck, but some king of gambling also requires strategy and experience, but still the luck factor plays a vital role. Whereas if I do proper technical or fundamental analysis I can or even I will have a proper and fair chance of making profit, unless my analysis is wrong.
I don't think trading should be considered as gambling as the individual has the full authority over his decision and action regarding it.

Spain Super Cup 2017
Monday, August 14, 3:00 AM
Camp Nou, Barcelona
 
Barcelona vs Real Madrid


record trophy of Spain Super Cup
Barcelona = 12
Real Madrid = 9

Barcelona has lost neymar, maybe this will slightly affect. my prediction is Real Madrid win, the result of a UEFA Super Cup acquired by real madrid will make a positive result for the next matches.
and as far as I can see real madrid is currently better than barcelona Wink Cool
 
This match will be hot, although Neymar is not in Barcelona's side, but Barcelona is not a club that performs flop after losing its star. Before the arrival of Neymar to Barcelona, Barcelona remain Barcelona, they remain fierce.
Real Madrid just got the title, this title will also be their target.
The match will be hard to predict, I do not know which one will win, but I think the match will continue until the penalty shootout.

Barcelona will be good, one star player leaving does not effect, rather it might give them a boost. Moreover they know this things happen in club game, so its casual for them. Real Madrid though have a fare chance and so does Barcelona. But I think RM might win as it seems their morale is good, and winning supercup might boost their energy.

Ya its kind of hard to predict, but either it will be a draw or RM gonna win, that is my prediction for the upcoming game between them. Lets see.
1020  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: August 10, 2017, 04:23:57 PM
Selling bitcoins never doesn't make any sense to me as I will always sell my bitcoins when I am making enough profits from it but I will also save some of it for future to sell at much higher price as I don't want to regret by not selling at the right time.

Yup, if you are in profit, then its not bad to convert it or spend it. I believe many don't use Bitcoin as investment, rather as a transaction medium. Like I know many who just put in money to wallets and uses it to spend on steam.

If I talk about people who earns or acquires cryptos, then its different. I believe neither keep all nor sell all. But similarly many holds and uses it to invest in other cryptos rather than converting any to fiat. So it depends on requirements and mentality obviously.
