It is not bad to gamble of you do it for fun or just using your spare money. Also investing is not good if you invest all your money into it. When emergency happens you won't have something to spend because you invested it all.

Gambling is not so bad thing itself that are we who made it terrible because of greedy nature, if we can keep control on our emotions than we enjoy this into god way there to make fun, investment is also good option when we think the house is better place to make grow money with the help of it.
That's our negligence that cause us to suffer because of gambling, we have to be responsible in gambling to be able to play it right. By accepting that reality that we cannot win in the long run would help big,  and we will not be able to chase for our loses that would minimize the risk.
10182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 13, 2016, 12:33:03 PM
Yes, bitcoin can help poor countries if people there can be train into bitcoin trading and mining with all necessary facilities.

Yeah, exactly, we should accept that bitcoin can help the poor countries not too much but sure. Think about it, now why we are here? because bitcoin give us money and it is online good opportunity to earn money. That's why we are still working with bitcoin and investment in it and also trading help us.

It is going to be a helpful tool to make those poor countries have their very own good source of profit. But the reality is those poor countries doesn't even have something to pay for their food. We can just easily say that bitcoin can be a good help to the poor countries but we need to consider these things.

# No internet.
# No computer.
# Language barrier.
# Zero understanding of tech.
# Old telephone with zero usable functionalities in this regard.
# No time for nonsense as they have to work real hard in order to just feed their family.


It's really hard to help the majority, only few of them will be able to understand bitcoin and that is the sad reality. We cannot do anything about that, the same as saying that bitcoin can replace paper money which is impossible to happen.
10183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: November 13, 2016, 12:27:11 PM
I can only guess right now because I don't know how would have been things in that case if I was rich and how much time I would have actually available for gambling. I think I was still doing gambling for fun and making money using already owed money. I assume only as I am fond of gambling now based on this I was not been different.
You have a lot of money when you are rich so it would not be a problem losing just to have fun. It's a liberty for the rich to gamble as long as they want, and that would be somewhat a stress reliever on their part. Rich people really have the opportunity to be happy even losing money.
10184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: November 13, 2016, 12:23:15 PM
simply take some proxy changer or tor browser can be helpful for some sites as many sites doesn't have supporting script for this.
To get rid of the restrictions imposed by government, my local gambling site come up with a new site but with some common commercial name to break those restrictions. They have informed me about the new site name through email.

Online always meant for freedom, in a land of physical gambling is completely banned, we are finding new ways to enjoy online gambling. Online gambling is most suitable for me always for this reason.
There's a big benefit in online gambling as you can always play for more games and you do not need to go in different places wasting your time to play. It's just one click away and we are on, it's just good that bitcoin is being use for online gambling so even for people with small income can still enjoy.

They have their very own advantages and that is good advantage for online gambling. But for me it will be the best if you will choose real gambling as you will experience real pressure, real gambling. Unlike with online gambling you will experience also pressure, but virtual pressure where your opponents can't see you rage.
When you are in online gambling you will have a chance to meet with people all over the world and that would be fun IMO as I can also learn their method to win, I like a gambling site that has a chat features, it makes me alive as a gambler. LOL
10185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 13, 2016, 12:09:19 PM
I will take -7.5 for Cleveland Cavaliers there is good reason to pick this option as I am quite sure it will beat Charlotte Hornets, the winning difference is so high between both teams and it looking it will be go above 10 points easily, Cleveland Cavaliers is at home court that is why it looking very possible option.
Let's just hope this time the cavaliers will be able to route their opponent, charlotte hornets are good at home but I do not know in the rude. Lebron should go beast on this one to make a statement with hornets who previously claimed the top spot in the east.
10186  Economy / Economics / Re: The Future of Money? on: November 13, 2016, 12:04:26 PM
Most likely everything will be digital in the future so paper money will disappear and everything also in real stores will be payed with digital money, we all will have our phone for it or a simple card.


The future is actually going to be more digital as we can see that happening everyday, but we cannot be sure if bitcoin will be the digital system adopted in place of paper money or the governments will make their own digital systems that will be implemented on us.
Yeah paper money would still be around and a lot of countries most likely would still have paper money as their main currency especially poor countries. It's highly possible that digital currency would be widely used in the future but paper money for me would be be a strong currency
In the future, digital currency is the trend but only for the corporate people, there are a lot of people who does not have the idea of using bitcoin and for sure they are comfortable with the money they are using. So probably, paper money will still be use, we need to educate people to use bitcoin and not all can understand.
10187  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to make a successful Trade? on: November 13, 2016, 11:58:45 AM
Cover your ass, that means for successful trade you need to pay attention on security. Find a way to protect your money, with escrow is the best, buy there is other ways.
Everyone here is talking about classic trading 'buy low, sell high', I think OP didn't think about it, its the basic of trading, here is point how to make successful trade once you find a good price for buying, or you have good price for selling. So once you find that, how to close that work successful.

That's the basic but it's hard to do with the right timing, if all can really see how the price move then it would be easy for them to make money. With trading, there's always a bigger chance to make money but you have to risk money as well to be able to achieve your goal.
10188  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: November 13, 2016, 11:54:00 AM
Holding bitcoin for a long time is both good and bad. It is good if you have plan or target price to sell it. It is bad if you just hold it without having a future plan for it. You don't have a target price to sell it. You just want to sell it at a very high price but no on one can say how high it will be.
A target plan is always necessary for all of us, once we are holding we should have a definite target for us to be able to do the right timing. We should always be careful with our greediness as when we see there's a big price increase we think that we will earn more but not really, what if the price crashes hard?
10189  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to manage money? on: November 13, 2016, 03:25:20 AM
A lot of my friends are now getting a larger income than me but I see they are still broke and borrowing money to other people.
How come this still happens?
They got so used with their larger income so they are also spending more and buying expensive items with the highest class. Yes it is good because it is branded but for what expense?
Without the right way of managing the money or staying at your the way you are before you receive higher income you could be broke.
Actually your friends had that problem because they do not know how to manage the limited resources they have. It will be a good idea if they undergo into some tutorial or classes that can help learn them some effective money management tips. Without the practice of proper money management, those problems may persist all the times.
One of the problems that I see is in school they teach you about a lot of subjects so in the future you are able to gt money by working but they never teach you how to manage your money which I have always found odd, since you are probably going to work for 30 to 40 years in your life maybe more.
We cannot be rich buy just working, it actually depends on the culture of our country, but I know majority of the people after graduation are just thinking on how to have a wonderful job, only few are thinking of having their own business or company that they will run on their own.
10190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe that win in gambling is depending on your luck ? on: November 13, 2016, 03:20:07 AM
Luck is the only way to get huge money there but a person who good skill and know more about some games like poker and sports betting. Than it can easily get some good chance to win there as compare with unskilled person. From my point of view luck and skill both are important.
Yeah agree that both are needed skills and luck are needed. but for other games like slots games and dice game those game only needs luck and you dont need skills to play dice or slots game.. even a child can play it.. unlike sports betting and poker that needs skills and luck..
yes that is a fact that both are important for success, but i think that luck can play some more role in your success, although skill and experience is also important for our success the primary importance is of luck.

Skill in gambling is to play short time and win big. The skills just can make your profit chance increase, but it doesn't mean you will earn forever on long term. The chance to have a big loss is still on the gambling game, every time. But the professionals lose less times, and make more profit than newbies and amateurs.
Good point you have there, as the longer we play the more we lose. It's the reality in gambling that we cannot debate since they have the edge. Even if you are playing in a gambling sites that has no house edge, we may still fall victim of our greediness so we must be careful with that.
10191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: November 13, 2016, 03:13:56 AM
this time I really believe that it's possible. Well, I have friends who make it come true. who knows what tricks he used, but he said that he really profitable in the long term, but it happened in just one day. Well, the money he earned was not much, but it was very highly praised
yes there is no doubt about this, it can be possible but it need a good luck with some experience and skill and then you can really make good money in gambling, i have so many friends who are really making good money in gambling. as they have good experience of gambling.
Maybe you should learn from your friends, I have an experience but it does not guarantee me a win but rather it gives me discipline in gambling to stop at the right time and to have control and do not let my emotion dictate me in the gambling session that i do.
10192  Economy / Speculation / Re: I'm dumping my bitcoins so you should on: November 13, 2016, 02:58:26 AM
Dumping is not good and I think if you are dumping you bitcoins right now you are just stupid because the price is not super good and because of that fact it would be not worth selling it right now.

Yup I don't think to dumping my bitcoins neighther I won't support it, because if we expect that the Bitcoin's price will increase soon so we can make a good profit selling it then, wait for christmas pump and utilize it to sell it out.

We have been waiting since very long time to see the price of $1000 and that is expected to achieve in the end of the year or may be by the next year, so selling coins at this stage won't be a smart move to make and its better to hold them for next couple of months and sell when it crosses 4 digit mark.
I won't sell either though I see the price is good now and I am in profit. I call myself an ambitious investor and that's what we all need, we are looking for a bigger profit that's why we are here and I believe we can have that at the right time with the right patience.
10193  Economy / Economics / Re: possible government regulations? on: November 13, 2016, 02:50:26 AM
Once they start "regulating" Bitcoin, they won't stop until they kill it.
government regulations are not meant to kill anything but they are designed to have the share of your returns ,so no regulations will be in place to stop bitcoin but they can impose heavy tax on it.
That will be true in an ideal world but in the real world governments and bank will see bitcoin as threat to to system and may try to pass regulations that destroy bitcoin and even if that is impossible they could try to pass regulation that slow adoption or that severely cripples the functionality of bitcoin.

While it is certainly true that they may consider Bitcoin as a threat, and most likely wouldn't regret if it kicked the bucket in the end, but, nevertheless, Bitcoin is too tiny to give them real pain in the ass, unlike, for example, gold. The latter seems to be what should be giving them genuine butthurt with its multitrillion market cap and the multimillenia story of being a truly authentic store of value.
Bitcoin is relatively new compared to any currency, gold was the currency of choice for thousands of years until people fell in the trap of fiat money not backed by anything, but given enough time bitcoin could pose an even greater treat for its decentralized nature.
Bitcoin is the internet gold and look at the market, it's booming and will continue in the future. Government will probably act on the possible regulation that is to protect the interest of the majority as there are transactions online that involves illegal activities and bitcoin is the means.
10194  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: November 13, 2016, 02:38:53 AM
I think paper money there will exist be at least 50 years, and they will gradually be replaced with electronic money.

Maybe in rich countries because you can't do it in the poor ones.

People talk a lot about bitcoin be anonymous but sometimes they forget that paper money is anonymous too Wink and fast, that's why we will see cash for a long time.
In a poor country, the life is not so fast so they do not need online transaction. They live a simple life and work to have the food for meals and what I know they are using paper money now and in the future. Therefore, you cannot make all people adopt with bitcoin not even in the future.
10195  Economy / Economics / Re: Future of Bitcoin Economics on: November 13, 2016, 02:32:57 AM
I'm not sure that we need mass adoption for bitcoin to be successful. It just needs to find a niche where is can thrive. There need to be a steady following but not necessarily mass adoption.
Well, if you can see we are successful already but we want a bigger success that the current. We want progress from time to time and that's what we need for our investment to grow as well. Of course the future of bitcoin is good since the development is continuing.
10196  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: November 13, 2016, 02:27:42 AM
On the Internet, you can build your business on sale or resale of something. Just can mediate and sell people what they need. Just you yourself shave look.

Building a business and waiting to earn money from it will be time consuming process and in that case it will not serve the purpose of getting money on urgent basis, no doubt that business can help you in long term depending on the efforts you put in developing it, and if I need money desperately then either I will borrow from my friends or family or would sell some unwanted things to get quick bucks.
Exactly, and having a business is not a way for people who are desperate need of money, they have the money but they want to grow it more. Desperation is an urgent need and you can only have that when you borrow or sell something for the money.

That's right borrowing is the best way to get quick money and if you have a full time job then you can borrow it from your colleagues as they have faith in you and they are sure that you will return them their money on time and you need to make sure that you pay them on time as per the promise made.
Not only with your colleague but you can borrow big money in a legitimate company, you have to ensure that you will be able to play and your job is what ensures them. In our country, I can borrow even without collateral because I have been building my trust when I started borrowing with a small amount of money.
10197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how strong is bitcoin really? on: November 13, 2016, 02:09:34 AM
Yeah I hacked into FBI with my laptop's calculator more than once, even hacked an Iphone lock same way.
Bitcoin has nothing to do with wallets security, people should safeguard their wallets, it's not bitcoin's fault if someone gets hacked.
It's fair not to blame bitcoin for your loses specially under your negligence, the overall system is safe but when to safeguard our assets, that's already the main responsibility of the owners. There's a lot of security online to improve the security of your wallet, you can grab them.
10198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 12, 2016, 11:54:11 AM
Houston v   San Antonio Don't miss this match as far as I'm concerned, last had pretty good matches played great last period less number. San Antonio with a tougher defense this time, I think taking this game. Harden in this match I think it would be more in the foreground in the same way Leonard also will be more in the foreground.

My money's on the spurs as well. This i think would be a classic case of offense vs defense and the level of defense that the spurs have is a lot better than the rockets' offense. I can have kawhi on harden all night long
Revenge factor for the Spurs but I'll stay away with this one, old spurs just played today in a defensive game so they must be tired. This is a flip coin game and I do not find any value on this game (Point spread/totals).

Try to bet for the Chicago bulls either, they are good at home and wizards are not good on the road.
10199  Economy / Economics / Re: How many BTC will make you a fiat millionaire in 5 years? on: November 12, 2016, 11:36:52 AM
To be a fiat millionaire in 5 years, i'll say we need to have 25-200 bitcoin. I said it since if bitcoin have gone into a good turn by 2020, one only need 25 bitcoins to be a fiat millionaire in 5 years. If it have just sit at a value triple or quadruple of what it is now, Id say one needs 200 bitcoin above to be a fiat millionaire by 2020-2021.
I'll take it slowly so I would start venturing into investment now. I believe since bitcoin is not stable yet, I can find a lot of opportunities here and I just have to take some risk so I can jump with opportunities that I can find. Some of my strategy is to invest in gambling sites and trading regularly.

Our campaign manager was/is going through the list to find spammers.

Regarding the pay day

I'll discuss with the campaign manager and find out what's the exact timetable. I doubt we can pay exactly on nov 20th, as it takes some time to check everything and we also need to collect the BTC / KMD addresses.

I will update you guys soon with more details.
Are you going to manually send us a PM asking about our BTC address?
I guess you should just wait for the update from the manager. For sure they will ensure that everything will went smooth so you guys will be paid for your effort accordingly. Usually, they will just post to announce that you will send the manager with your address or whatever they need you to do.
