10541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which coin do you think is best for gambling? on: January 14, 2018, 11:20:28 AM
I personally prefer dogecoin and ethereum but these days ethereum also have network congestion and fee is really high so dogecoin is best right now.
I agree that eth is not doing very well and bitcoin is probably the worst coin for gambling due to high transaction fees one needs (usually) to pay to withdraw money. Doge has been the best in gambling for a long time. I think that's the only reason this coin is still alive and even manages to experience some pumps from time to time. However, for some gambling websites doge is not appropriate, since there are no smart contracts available.  At the same time, it is worth to use smart contracts, because it ensures scam-free gambling. In such cases it's better to use eth tokens like vsl.

I also one of those who uses bitcoin when playing online. However, I moved to Doge and LTC since last year (November to be exact). I haven't try ETH though, but recently with all this cryptokitties issues, I think I won't use it as well.

As for Doge, yeah, maybe its one of the reason why it is still alive. But I love to use LTC though, very quick and as long as the gambling sites that I'm playing accepts LTC, I will stick to it as my main coin for gambling.

Cavs fan out there, sorry to say but they aren't that good now compared when they still have Irving. Even if they reached NBA finals this season I doubt they will have a chance to get the ring based on their performance right now. And with James frustration with his teammates will also give him a not well played game.

Of course its not comparable without Kyrie Irving. They have IT now. Maybe its going to be a tough road ahead for them this season. But I have to agree that they will not have a chance against Warriors if ever they reach the NBA championship. Warrior right now is on a different planet. Probably its really part of the growing pains of the Cavaliers, players needs to make sacrifices and adjustment. Lebron James will really have to put double effort every night in order for the Cavs to win specially in the road.

You will trust this guy?

I would not trust, he must accept to be paid by paypal, you are making a transaction of a very large amount of money and you need to be sure that you will receive your equipment and that this equipment is working properly. if the equipment does not arrive in your home or arrives at your home but this damaged, you can open dispute. Now without paypal how you open dispute in case the equipment does not arrive in your home or the equipment arrives damaged?


Their site has this address: " 302 Northern Blvd, Albany, NY United States "  [ See on google map this is the address of a tree.]

Their site has this phone number: 844-884-6600

investigates to see if they are true or not








If I may add, I noticed that the website is fairly new. It was just created around Sept of last year. I would be in doubt with this one. I'm not saying its a scam site, but you need further investigations mate.

But if I'm on your shoes, I will not order from this site, looks scammy to me mate, just my honest opinion.

I have seen lots of similar websites in the past, that turns out to be a scam. So just be careful here.
10544  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market crash ? on: January 13, 2018, 09:07:15 PM
Can someone tell me why the price of BTC is Crashing ? Will it go back to 1USD =1BTC ?

Bad news from South Korea effect in bitcoin price, the price will reduce for short time and back to rise normally "will effect in the weekly chart only".

crashing mean lost more than 40% of total value and this is only normally correction price.

Will it go back to 1USD =1BTC ? 1/1000,000 possiblity
 

South Korea has made a official statement already that they are not going to ban bitcoin. I think its pure FUD what we have seen in the last 2 days. Although it was nice to see the investors didn't dump their bitcoin because of this FUD.

Yes, crashing means 30%-40%, like we have seen when China closes its door last year.

And say what again? $1=1BTC? Where the hell did you based that speculation?

Global Markets eye India, as a good option for Crypto-Mining

Will this benefit India, given the infrastructure?

How does this effect the overall environment? (Noise, Air pollution)

Will the Indian Goverment, use this as an opportunity/waste this away, and leave the young generation in the lurch?


This is my 1st post ever on this forum, apologise if this is sensitive, but this is something which all should be aware of.

Kindly express your views. Global opinions are most welcome.

Viva la Crypto

Please share us a link on where you find that India is viable for bitcoin mining? I think bitcoin needs a cold region if I'm not mistaken that's why you will see that China is really suitable for such setup.

As far as I know, Bitmain is looking for Switzerland and province of Quebec in Canada.

I haven't heard of India though, the weather out there is like in a tropical region, humid and hot plus electricity is not cheap in there so I doubt that India is being eye as bitcoin mining hub.
10546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It is not worth it, right? on: January 13, 2018, 06:30:55 PM
If you want to profit from gambling, then you can only get a little profit for your extra income, not for your basic income. So do not use too much money, do not use money that can not afford to lose, just use a little money so if you're lucky you get extra income and if you're unlucky, it will not interfere with your basic income.

For recreational gamblers, I think what you say is applicable. But for those who have been in the game for so long, they used all the money they can afford to gambling, I mean everything. They have even the nerves to borrow from someone just to continue there gambling habits. Been there, done that. It's really hard to control the money that you are going to throw on gambling.
10547  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Loss in trading on: January 13, 2018, 06:11:57 PM
I am a newbie, I just want to ask how exactly are you losing your money in trading? Can anybody explain how you lose your money in trading? Correct me if I'm wrong I just think that when you buy high but you sell it in low price I think you lose, right? What if you you buy it at a higher price then the price falls on the next days or week will you loss something? What if you'll just hold for it and wait for the price to bounce back? Thanks for your opinions! ☺️

If you bought coins at the top and then the coins price suddenly dip. And yes you are correction as well. If you hold and didn't do anything and then the price goes up then its not a loss on your end. You will always hear people saying that you buy low and sell high, because that's how people profits. No hanky panky. Simple strategy to follow.

That's why patience and frustrations are the worst enemy of a trader. If you don't have patience and always panic and always push the sell button, then trading is not meant for you.
10548  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MAD WITH MY PARENTS !!! on: January 13, 2018, 05:52:35 PM
Don't be mad you with parents, they are just protecting you just like any other parent. We are on a different era with your parents and you should understand where are they're coming from. You are lucky that you have parent likes that, almost looking for your best interest.

You don't need to convince them. Overtime they will understand you that you are making money not by scamming people but by trading. Tell them that is similar to stock market, you buy low and then sell high = instant profit.

10549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: January 12, 2018, 09:44:41 PM
It seems like the cavaliers -2.5 is a trap, the cavaliers are down 25 points at the half as Lebron James is not getting the support of his teammate especially IT who is shooting terribly tonight with a 0-10 shooting already. I just have to accept my lose for this game,I thought they will bounce back after a disappointing loss in their previous match, they are not back in the wining track yet.

Another blow out lost for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Where the hell is there defense? James try his best to win it, however, the team has other things in their mind. IT finishes the game with 4 points and 2-15 shooting. While the bench of Raptors contributed significantly, that is not the case for the Cavs. I think heads will roll (coach) or they will be a trade if they continue like this. Its evident that James is frustrated when he is yelling at his team mates. I'm sure that there will be a lot of excuses, but they need to get their acts together, otherwise say goodbye to their chance of getting another ring thi year.

That could may be the real problem here. Lebron being frustrated and shouting his teammates may decreases their confidence and team work since they also gets frustrated. After irving left the team they really are not in good condition right now. If I am not mistaken this attitude of lebron was the reason why irving left the team.

I understand Lebron James frustration on their recent game against the Raptors. Me too, if Im playing really hard and my teammates doesn't do anything then it's obvious I will be pissed off. If his teammates can't handle the pressured then their experienced is shit. They able to get the title already. They are in the league for long time now. They able to hold pressure multiple times but still they can't show their hard performance. Lebron's attitude is not the case here. If they have balls they can contradict what James is saying but in return they must show something good at their performance but unfortunately none so Lebron hit at them.

Yes LeBron may have some fault here but what kind of team is Cavs if they can't voice out what's their concern.

Bron has every right to get mad at his team. Imagine what they gonna do without him on the floor? The team is really dis organized and he is trying to glue them back together. This is the 2nd games that the team shows lackluster on both ends. Defense is shit that's why the other team is blowing them up.

Love, JR Smith, Wade needs to show something right now. They have been in this kind of situation before. They should play and win their next game and break this slump. Otherwise I think its downward for the team.

I can't find anything in the settings and I'm getting pissed off from all the newbie accounts sending private messages about some ICOs.

Can we have an option to block all messages from new accounts?

You are not the only one mate. Everyday I received many message from newbies as well about a certain ICO blah blah.

I'm not sure if we can block all of them though. But I learn not to be mad seeing my inbox growing LOL. I just deleted all their message without reading any single one of them.
10551  Other / Off-topic / Re: If bitcoin goes to zero on: January 12, 2018, 09:01:46 PM
This is just hypothetical of course, because that will not happen. Now already some countries like Japan f.i. are accepting bitcoin and governments of other countries are beginning to implement blockchain. So, no way Bitcoin will drop to zero. The price is dropping a little these days, it might even drop to 8K, but then the mainstream will start buying and bitcoin will rise to 30K.

Agree. I can't see bitcoin going to 0 with countries like Japan have already embraced it.

But let's say that bitcoin goes down so hard, I think it will just be a matter of time before it can pick itself from the ashes. There are a lot of whales that will not let bitcoin crash. They will bought huge amount of bitcoin and accumulate even more. So I have doubts that bitcoin can go to $8K, much more to 0.
10552  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: did you place all your funds into bitcoin? on: January 11, 2018, 09:58:59 PM
I am thinking .. to put all my money in bitcoin what do you think? is it a good way to grow my money? or it is risky or.. ?

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Great way to grow your money though. But it is stupid, stupid, stupid. Don't try be a hero invest some of it and what you can afford to lose and are okay with mentally and physically.

I initially did at the beginning of my journey in trading or investing. But yeah its a stupid mistakes because if bitcoin goes down, you will suffer a lost. That's why I learn to diversity.

Now I have a good portfolio in altcoins, specially when altcoin surges in the last couple of months. Although I have bitcoins in my wallet, I will not touch it in the next 6 months. I will used the gains that I got from altcoin to re-invest and recycle all my capital.
10553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how can we make gambling as an accepted recreational activity like sports game? on: January 11, 2018, 09:40:25 PM
We can make this happen, but most of all people shouldn't be getting themselves more binded to play gambling as a sources of their profit. That's why most people who think critically doesn't accept this kind of activity a form of recreational activity, besides they've been having an impression of money wasting.

I don't think its really possible to implement such scenario. Gambling is gambling and you can't have recreational activity with it. Its based on luck as opposed to sport games were you need to sharpen not only your body in mind.

Lets takes for example BINGO, some consider it just a recreational activity, but when it starts to involved money, then its pure gambling. That game is very popular among Asian country however, it turns out to be recreational in the beginning but when gamblers found a way to make it a business, then later it becomes one of the most lucrative gambling business.
10554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin owner die. It means bitcoin also lost forever? on: January 11, 2018, 09:20:56 PM
I just got this question in my mind. What will happen if no one knows about the pasword of his/her acount will it posibly deduct to the main supply of bitcoin? Example bitcoin was 21million supply and one man got 1 million bitcoin he was holding and suddenly he died no one can open his wallet is it posible that the remaining 20 million bitcoin forever?

His bitcoin will be totally lost in oblivion because no one can claim it on behalf of the deceased person. Similar to those people who have mined bitcoin in its early years however, lost all the private keys to that address.

That's why there's a debate or a thread asking if you are willing to share your password or private key on make a document detailing instructions on how to recover your bitcoin in case something happen to us.
10555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin gambling is legal? on: January 10, 2018, 01:57:10 PM
It depends on countries and places rules and regulations.
If  gambling itself is ban in a country, then gambling with bitcoin or any other currency is automatically illegal.

While in some countries gambling may be legal but bitcoin as a cryptocurrency may not be accepted and legalised yet, so in such place it is safe to not gamble with bitcoin.

While most of the places have gambling regularised, and bitcoin is not illegal in mosf of the countries so it is fair to say that gambling with bitcoin is not illegal.
bitcoin is very strong and anonymous.
if we do gambling with bitcoin I consider this is a legal action when viewed in anonymous terms.
but gambling is still an illegal act in some countries.
gamblers always have access to get their gambling venues
Bitcoin is not really anonymous if they the government will find ways to trace those using it for online gambling, however bitcoin is not yet regulated in some countries so people have the full freedom to use it at any transactions they want to. I hope in the future the government will not ban bitcoin gambling because in reality it gives a lot of entertainment to the majority of people and if they legalized they can benefit through taxes.

As long as the country where you lived in doesn't consider bitcoin gambling as illegal, then you are safe to do. However, there are really country that every gambling is illegal not only online. So you need to be careful as you internet service provider can really report you to the government.

You are one lucky person if you are in the nation that allows gambling as legal so some extend. Just hope though that your government will not issue a hammer ban, otherwise it will be very risky on your part to play online and be caught. Yaikks..
10556  Economy / Marketplace / Re: transfer between wallets on: January 10, 2018, 12:23:57 PM
Hey guys, I decided to take my first steps in the cryptoworld after some research. Had been investing on etoro en with a friend.

Now I hope you can help me with the following question.

I have eth on coss.io and would like to transfer a part of it to gate.io, but do not see whether that would be possible / how to do that.
Is that even possible? Or can I only trade ON the website where I have my wallet / cash out from that website whenever I want $$?


Thanks!

CR

Its possible but based on what you described, its more comfortable to transfer it first to a wallet that supports ETH like MEW before moving it to gate.io. Because if there's a issues moving your funds from both trading, more likely it would take some time to be resolved. And if you transfer if you to MEW, you can control how it can moved, if you want it right away, you can just increased your gas price. As compare to transferring between the two exchanges, which you don't have total control of your funds.

10557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bcash will die in 2018 and Bitcoin will be even more valuable on: January 10, 2018, 11:17:14 AM
Neither one of them will die in 2018. As much as we hate BCH, it will still continue and live in 2018. For me, it will make another move to create FUD and try to take some investors on bitcoin to shift on their favor. But I don't think that a wise investors will just do that because of the problems we are currently facing.

And for Bitcoin, it will remain the no. 1 on the crypto list and the most investment portfolio pushing the price to another heights. But it will take some time because of the high tx fees and slow confirmations that we are experiencing right now.
10558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Now Climbing Back Again !! on: January 10, 2018, 10:45:59 AM
Did you guys check the current price of bitcoin? It climbed yes, but it goes to another market correction again.

I thought that the recovery will last, unfortunately it didn't so I think we need to just hold on a bit and not sell it. Bitcoin price have been in a wild swing as of it and it's really hard to predict the movement. Of course I like to see that it will rise up again, but it looks like we need to wait and have patience. I speculate that investors are really looking at altcoins specially Ethereum and shifting their money onto it, that's why bitcoin is slumping. But I'm sure that they will go back to bitcoin market, let's wait.

10560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [UFC 219: Cyborg vs Holm. NEW EVENT!] The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 07, 2018, 06:56:09 PM
@nydiacaskey01. I reckon no. Floyd Mayweather will not dare fight in any MMA organization, especially not among the best in the UFC. He will not last 1 round in there.

I speculate that Floyd might be planning something involving the UFC but it will involve him fighting in the octagon.

I would not directly say no. Mayweather is training for MMA and if he would fight in the MMA, it will bring him (and Conor) a lot of money, probably even more than the boxing match. Offcourse Conor would win the fight, but that is irrelevant.

But I don't think that Floyd will really go to the Octagon, follow the rules of MMA and fight Conor. So I have to agree with @bbc.reporter here. He would put his body to fight Conor. Remember, "health comes first" for him. If ever he go up against Conor we all know that Conor will try to bust him and take him down. Mayweather doesn't want to be humiliated and embarrassed and have his 0 gone in that fashion.

As for Conor, I think he will have to wait for the Tony and Khabib to damage each other before fighting either one of them. I also reckon he will go for the Diaz trilogy because it will also bring good money for him as well. Little risk, big reward for him instead of fighting either Khabib or Tony.

I know that Mayweather always did choose his fights and that health comes first for him, but I got the impression that the boxing fight was staged and if a MMA fight would happen that it also will be staged. If Mayweather really wanted, during the boxing fight, than he could have knocked out Mc Gregor in the first rounds.

How can they stage MMA fights then? Its only 3 -5 rounds, will Conor gave up the first rounds and then submit Floyd in the last round? Its really hard to reckon how the two will fake iit n MMA. In boxing perhaps, its gonna be easy because you have 12 rounds and just what we have seen in their fights, Floyd didn't pull the trigger up the last couple of rounds to gave the fans what they wanted to see. Him getting hit my Conor and gave some fans sort of enjoyment specially those who think that Conor can really win the match.
