10441  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: July 28, 2016, 01:23:27 PM
Anyone bought drugs with bitcoin and what are you thought on the subject ?

i know i have used bitcoin to buy psilocybe cubensis thank you bitcoin i cold have not done this without you now i can trip watching corry & eastenders in the evening its such a sight.


Haha, this topic is interesting and I would like to say that it is really possible but no, I haven't tried that yet since I am not using drugs. But come to think of it, yes we can buy drugs using bitcoins by buying but can we be sure that the person that we are sending bitcoins will really send us the drugs that we have paid for? How? By sending it to tracking delivery? We all know that it is impossible right? So I think no one will use bitcoins just to buy drugs. Haha
As it is a currency people use it for good and bad. The majority of Bitcoin users are law-abiding people motivated by privacy concerns or just curiosity. But Bitcoin’s anonymity is also a powerful tool for financing crime like buying drugs. Such people should be punished severely.
really don't sure bitcoin's anonymity could do that much as it not really anonymous,your transaction were published and can't be deleted,and every activities can be traced,just use blockchain explorer and everything will be revealed relating to the address
You can still use a lot of method to hide your identity and if you buy drugs you cannot be trace at all. That transactions of buying and selling drugs in the deep web are having the success and even if the site will be seize, the owner will just create another site and will create a never ending story due to hard to track it.
10442  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MY gambling strategy to limit loss and make btc on: July 27, 2016, 07:30:22 AM
My strtegy is very simple. It is called self control. i strt with .01 anytime i get  more than .001 over that amount i immidieately withdraw that ammount into coinbase. this way, i cant get cocky and gamble away huge orofits! Ehat are you guys opinions on this strat

It sounds like a great plan. But first, i would find it very hard to carry out for me cause it will be too troublesome to keep doing it. I may need to do up to 20 times in an hour. 2nd, wont that cause fee to make up a huge percentage. You will find that your profit will be reduced by a huge percentage due to multiple small transaction.
That is when it gets exhausting betting so many times limits your chances of keeping your luck alive. That is what the casino's are hoping for. It gives them better odds of taking the players money.
Same with betting large amounts all at once. It is also in the casino's fair; they have more of that chance that you will mess up and lose it all.
Casinos still has the edge regardless on what type of game you are playing, and the worst thing sometimes is we have a problem with ourselves that we cannot gamble without thinking with so much money to win.

It could happen that we can make money in gambling but since we do not have the discipline we still lose in the end, we never stop as if there is no tomorrow is one of the reason why we failed to succeed.
10443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you like when gambling alone/ with your friend? on: July 27, 2016, 07:25:32 AM
of course i would love to play with my friends, it is always a lot more fun when you have company specially the shit-talk is the most fun in gambling,
also when you are playing with friends you can play some games like poker that you could never play the same way online because they don't give you the same feeling online.
Card games is a good game that should be played with your friends, having trash talk is just normal because with your friends you are only having fun and you are not really interested with the money at all. That would help you to enjoy more and will not be addicted in gambling.
10444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: July 27, 2016, 07:21:37 AM
Well a smart person wont yell when he come to casino. That sounds like a guy whom ready to spend all of his salary in a casino and pretends to his friends that he just wanna get fun.
Mate Don't realy you there come for get some fun, This are BULLSHIT, cause i'm are addicted for gambling, when i'm go to casino for meet friends to casino but all not going as i want, gambling still doing at me when going to casino. and i'm SNIPE Smiley
And not all people who has same situation like you bud Wink Actually it completely depends on what gambling type you are playing. I'm an addicted sportsbook gamblers, but I consider my addiction as a fun. Yeah you know, a sport match can be more interesting when you bet on it, especially when you bet an opposite team with your friend. Isn't it fun? I also like to play poker, and playing it with friends or someone else you know is fun too. If you know how to treat your addiction properly, then it won't be bad. Maybe you have to separate your money when you go to casino or the easier step is avoid any casino in your city.
Mate for sure you're addicted for gambling, i know talking about fun i was that. I'm fun when i win and got some a jacpots. but when you lost? are you still things this for fun? this are just wasting your time and your money, that's bad habbits. We don't talking about i poor and your rich. this problem for gambling, cause it's realy not good.
That always depends on a specific gambler because there are some who knows and accepted already the outcome of their gambling, they don't expect to win more and the more concern they have is to entertain themselves in gambling. And for me, that is a good way to avoid having problem in gambling.
Well, as they say it is easier said than done, we have a good intention in gambling when we are still planning but without the ability to control our self we will be lost in the middle of gambling because of the mix emotions that we are going to experience.

Saving is always safe, so I think one should save it for future to earn maximum profits from it as investing it will always involve certain level of risk.

There was time many people believe that and put all their money in the banks. Too much money stays idle slow down the world's economic. Currencies should be pushed into circulation for the development of the world.

I agree bitcoin as money shouldn't be put in the bank or be hold in the wallet.  It should not be idle.  By either spending it or investing it will help bitcoin to grow and establish it's footing in the world of commerce.  If that happen, we can see the increase in value of  Bitcoin as currency.
In the future we can surely see that, now the huge volume of circulation belongs to the gambling industry and that industry alone can manage to make this bitcoins great in the future but we don't want to be only like known bitcoin for that, we need to have the big merchants to adopt as well.
10446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How greedy you are ? on: July 27, 2016, 07:15:30 AM
I don't believe that they are so much people who play smart. The most of people who gambles are greedy. If they win in starting they will continue rather then taking the profit home and ends up in loss towards the end mostly. And if they incur loss in beginning they will play to recover the loss and ends up with more loss mostly.


The purpose why gamblers go to casino is to win money. So naturally, they will thinks of ways try to win back their money. This will instead trap the gamblers to stay there for a longer time and instead of achieving the goals, the gamblers will end up losing even more due to the house edges.
That is so obvious that is why we are losing in the long run because we want to win more money in gambling but we are not treating gambling as our business, if we are serious with gambling we should carefully plan our method and adjust it when it is not working anymore.
10447  Economy / Economics / Re: How good are you at managing your money on: July 27, 2016, 06:54:06 AM
While we are all here on this forum to earn one way or another, how well do you manage that money after you've earned it. Do you trade your Bitcoin as fast as you can spending it all in a day or do you save it? I recently got paid for a job I did in programming and i keep finding myself wanting to spend more of that money i made. I have a lot of credit card debt and that is not good. I have destroyed only two ofg my credit cards to which I owe thousands of dollars on.

how do you spend your money?

Those credit cards ate really shitty it is just telling you to spend more whenever you are in a mall or a supermarket that is why I never tried to have one. It will just make me more reliable to that card without knowing that I got a lot of debt. They wont tell you how much you have spent specially when your limit is high. It will be chaos after that.

It helps sometimes if you own a credit card. It can help you over a very hard time. But that should be used with utmost control. We should not over use it or spend it on non sensible things. If you use your credit card wisely and pay your credits on time, there is no trouble. If you don't want to be tempted to over spend, then leave your card when you go out. Just take it when your going to buy your groceries.

Yes, those credit cards are a temptation of their own.
The problem is that you actually do not have to give away anything in real, just your balance decreases.
And unlike a purse with real money, you can not tell how much is already missing.
I can prove that because I was once had a credit card and at first it is really convenient to use but when time passes by I learn to buy things that it is not in my budget and until such time has come that could not pay anymore my monthly amortization and everything was compromise.

As of now, I am still in debt from a credit card company.
10448  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: July 27, 2016, 06:46:36 AM
Should I believe in Bitcoin ?
I have 10k $ and maybe going to buy  , but I doubt the further development of Bitcoin and I'm afraid to lose money! Can you convince me or dissuaded from buying?
Although i have completly trust in bitcoin and am hopeful about its future,I wouldn't still recommend to put all your eggs in one bucket.Diversify your investment and play it safe.Better get less profit than losing all your money

Well if you are not going to believe in bitcoin you are not going to be here in this forum. Because it is a bitcoin forum so you are here.
It means that all of us are believing in bitcoin. And I really do because I know in the future that bitcoin is going to be on the trend.
And the price is going to increase.
I think no believer in this forum, we are all here to keep updated on the recent events of bitcoin and other altcoins, we have shared ideas and beliefs in here having a healthy conversation and that matters to all the believers that are here.
You cannot be considered as believer if you have not spent or invest in bitcoins. As a believer we should do our task to help the community to improve and we can only make that if we follow the aforementioned.

Bitcoin is a great coin that will be going to be big in the future, adopters are increasing and that is a good to be optimistic in the future.


So, all of the people here in forum are believing in bitcoins currency. And you are not here if you don't believe at all. We don't have nothing to do when we are using bitcoin and trading in bitcoin. It is a must that you must have believe that the currency of bitcoin is going to be useful at all and going to have a lot of services.

If the bitcoin developers act according to the consensus of the community, the bitcoin will succeed. Otherwise not.
What do you mean by your statement mate, I think we cannot find the developer of bitcoins because he is anonymous the same with using bitcoins. I think the most important now is just to attract users so it can add up to the volume of users which would benefit the holders of bitcoins to earn profit in the future.

i think the point that he/she wants to tell us is community behind of bitcoin which watching and control or anything i really do not know exactly, but if the founder of bitcoin we already know that he is still remain anonymous and do not want people know he/she identity. but the community of bitcoin, as the same as like the other coin community, someone or some community behind the coin. it just in my head and appology if i am wrong.
It is good for the bitcoin that the founder will remain anonymous as that is why it is becoming popular. The founder of the coder of bitcoins is not necessary because the source code are open and it can be publicly audited by those who are interested to test how secure the whole system is.
10449  Other / Off-topic / Re: 2016, The Year of Bitcoin? on: July 27, 2016, 06:40:37 AM
This year have a great impact on value of bitcoin it was double before the halving and now the price is quietly stable. I think we can say that 2016 is good year for bitcoin community and we are hoping that the following year will be much better than now.
It is a good year so far because the price is significantly high but we need not to be calm because we still have months before the end of this year and I believe anything can happen both possibly and the good one and the bad one.
10450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: July 27, 2016, 06:33:58 AM
That is true that we can not calculate how many are the actual users of bitcoin, every time, every minute there is newly sign in or users start to using it, and we do not have data to know the list of users.
And all we can see that the number of users of bitcoins is already huge and since we are increasing in terms of numbers of users the future is guaranteed that the early adopters who invested will be benefited and could possibly make a fortune in bitcoin.
10451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: July 27, 2016, 06:30:21 AM
I'm absolutely agree with this. Everyone loses in the long run on gambling, because i am a gambler and already gambling for a long time and i always ended with loses.

Yeah, I too gamble before, and I notice that somehow, if you hadn't waste your resources very much if you  find a way to win what was lost, then for sure you will waste time even if it's for fun...I  could have done something else if  I hadn't just waste time there trying to win...  Smiley But I am not against gambling cause some of the gamblers feel happy when they gamble..  Smiley
Well, good for you that you realize your are just wasting your money when doing gambling for the sake of making money. Although others have made it successful for them to make money but that does not mean that we can also win. In gambling only few are chosen to win.
10452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: July 27, 2016, 06:23:30 AM
Well, almost every gambling depends on luck.And Most of the result of gambling are profitless I mean lose. You hardly can win in gambling if your luck support you. But, in my word gambling mean lose. i didn't saw anyone who gain much profit by gambling, but I know many people who become empty hand for gambling.

You're wrong, it should be blamed in gambling is gambling that did them in a way that is not natural and pursue only the lust to satisfy his desire get rich quick in a short time. Gambling is indeed dangerous, but it depends on the people who use it

You are saying that gambing is wrong in the first place but in the end you saying it depends on people itself. Which on is true? Gambling for the start is never wrong because on the start of their games it is for business purpose not other things as well. But kost of people misdoing it by trying to earn some money there so this is how they are wrong
In overall, gambling is never wrong and only those who said are obviously wrong. We have our own decision to gamble or not so we should face the consequence of gambling may it be bad or worst. After all, responsible gambling is very important for every gambler.

Then if gambling is wrong why there still many people doing gambling? Well in my opinion really gambling is never be wrong because other people just making it for fun at their past time but there are some people really are abusive to their money and gamble to much to it without setting their limits and that scenario is can be called unhealthy gambling.

Gambling is game and unhealthy gamblers losses are  the one really gives bad impression to the game because there are many people are abussive thats why it gives bad image to the game of entertainment.
Gambling has been around for how many decades because people have patronize it, that means it is precious to them and they don't want to loss it because they are enjoying doing gambling. I hope most gamblers would understand that we should play it for fun in order to appreciate it more.
10453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: July 27, 2016, 02:37:46 AM
Base on my experience the safest method to do when gambling is when you won just withdraw everything and play another day. Because what  always happens to me is everytime i win and i play more, I end up losing everything .

You have a point just withdraw right away but if when you are in the situation which you feel like you are too lucky on that day i think you can't think that way you get greedy
Win and run would not be effective to apply in the long run as it still goes back with the house advantage, though you are lucky at a given day there still a way that you will come back and play tomorrow, so it is just the same cycle and time will only matter and would tell when you are going to lose.
10454  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH GETTING DUMPED HARD!!!! on: July 27, 2016, 02:31:49 AM
If the big ETH whales sell the ETC, the ETC price will go to almost zero. So the chain will die eventually.
Hopefully that would not happen because that would affect all the altcoins, we know that ETH is gaining the success currently and new coins is also starting to have that success so if anything happen, it would probably create a panic in the crypto world for altcoins.
10455  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is the Future of Bitcoin ? on: July 27, 2016, 02:20:22 AM
Maybe bitcoin can make us millioner in the future because if you have money buy bitcoin now coz near in the future bitcoin can pump up to 20,000$ if buy now and wait that time i think you will become of the one millioner from bitcoin. So bitcoin is very profitable in the near future.

I don't think bitcoin was invented to make us millionares. No bitcoin is a way to pay for goods and services.
We should embrace that fact and forget the financial gain it can bring us.

If there would be no financial gain then nobody would be interested in spending their time and money in bitcoin, its a good way to make profits and we should not miss a single opportunity.
Bitcoin is a growing space of innovation and there are business opportunities that also include risks. Beyond the risks we can achieve good profits, so we should never miss any opportunities. There is more guarantee that Bitcoin will continue to grow as it has developed at a very fast rate so far.

Yeah I agree, in addition we can do some reaserch about stuff we want to tackle with bitcoin.  From there we can calculate risk and see if it is worth a venture.  Bitcoin being a trend of investment and digital currency am sure there are lots who will take the risk just to be part of this trend.  With this bitcoin will then be more popular and more stable.
Yes, as it is mentioned everywhere that bitcoin is still in developing phase, we are having many people invested into it by trusting it in higher levels. The good thing is even bitcoin is in developing phase it has billions worth of assets with it. I too believe this trend will continue like more people will come and trust bitcoin ecosystem by joining it to get more stable and more secured bitcoin ecosystem in future.
When we are having more number of new people coming in to bitcoin ecosystem, the future definitely belongs to it. When the demand of digital era is keeping on increasing for the purpose of transacting money in digital format, definitely bitcoin has more bright future.
Every year there are new innovation and it involves majorly in using digital platform and I would say that bitcoins is a big part of any innovation and sooner or later upon knowing of the new comers the importance of bitcoins they will ultimately adopt dictating the increase of volume of users.
10456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: LUCK!!! :) How does it feels? on: July 27, 2016, 02:15:09 AM
I'm against gambling, because you may get this feeling of luck but then you'll want to have it more and eventually will lose

I am with you sir,  i only gamble before to know how it feels to play gambling,  how it feels to won in gambling,  and the feeling of losing everything in gamble but i am really against on it
For me, I am not really that lucky in gambling but I am lucky in life, I think that it is just fair because your luck is only limited and I don't want to abuse that in gambling as I wanna have it in the real business that I have invested to make me rich.
10457  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: July 27, 2016, 02:11:36 AM
Buy or develop your own time machine and go back to 2008 and mine BTC on the computer at your mothers house in the basement

Nice one Grin But the best way is to think about the future of Bitcoin, blockchain technologies and applications to come. Smiley
yeah i think a lot of that stuff is going to come really soon because of that the price of the bitcoin is going to grow so you should buy your coins to become rich
Buying is easy if you believe that the price of bitcoins will eventually rise in the coming future. However, if you have doubts never invest in bitcoins as you will regret hard if the other way would happen. Only put an amount intended for investment and the amount you can afford to lose.
10458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: July 27, 2016, 02:01:44 AM
Definitely not, gambling is a form of entertainment. It's fun and exciting and it more often than not promotes bonding among comrades. Though its prone to addiction which in this case is a different story entirely
That's what others misunderstood, if you get addicted into this type of game, they will accuse the game that it was wrong because it make people addicted into it not thinking that the discipline should be apply on the gambler not in the game.
Exactly, people who said that are just so desperate because they cannot control themselves and they have a bad experience playing it in an excessive manner. The same goes with gambling, anything excessive in that thing will make you lose in the long run.
10459  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: July 27, 2016, 01:59:12 AM
i use it everyday for work and personal life, love it
wow nice even today I still difficulties and confusion about how to spend bitcoin. because in my area there are no people or merchants who accept bitcoin. so I was amazed when people can use bitcoin to pay for everyday expenses

May be he is living in a country where there are many shops that are accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment, unfortunately scenario is not same everywhere.
Yeah! because in our country you can only count stores that are accepting bitcoins and that is good for us so we cannot be easily tempted to spend our bitcoins and we have no choice buy to save and invest it in different online business.
10460  Economy / Speculation / Re: Time to sell? Or to buy? on: July 27, 2016, 01:54:21 AM
Its going lower because there are more people that want to sell than people who want to buy
At the moment you can buy if you want, it would be smart because I do not think that the Bitcoin price is going to be any lower then this.
Then hold on to them after the halving we are going to see what the price then is, then decide what to do next.
Maybe because we have a huge increase for this year alone and people think that the price will still go back to normal and that would be the time for them to hammer the price. I think also that this would be lowest price so far after the halving, increase after the halving will happen and we need to watch out for that.

I think price will rise in future so I would prefer to buy some bitcoins at this stage and will save for the future and will sell when price reaches to 4 digit.
I doubt you could hold your bitcoin for the future because I'm sure many people will not be able to hold them too long bitcoin. probably less than 1 year they will sell their bitcoin. I thought you did not need to see the future because the price is bound to rise. the important thing is is it in the short term bitcoin will have a high price or not?


If price goes higher in short term then I think you should sell your coins and secure profits from it as you never what price it will hold in future.
So you are probably saying that the price of bitcoins is not gonna be good in the future? I think we should believe that even though we can achieve a good price it will still continue in the future to increase as the demand will surely increase.
