10681  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: india's new cryptocurrency on: October 16, 2018, 02:13:21 AM
I don't get the point on why some countries are planning on making their own cryptocurrency. One of the main selling points of most cryptocurrencies is the decentralized aspect of it. A country's government making a cryptocurrency defeats that purpose. This is probably just a way for the Indian government to make more money.

But anyway, what do I know. Haven't done research about this yet.

You’re right. What’s the point of having a digital currency if we don’t take advantage of its virtual and decentralized nature? However, do you think the world is ready to have a global currency?

Perhaps, this is how they want to show their power to other countries, and the government wants to follow the cryptocurrency journey, and finally, the India government create their cryptocurrency. But I think some of the countries are ready to have a global currency although the other country still researches about cryptocurrency. And if the India government succeed to do this, I think the other countries will follow, and the coin list in the coinmarketcap will grow bigger.
10682  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours a day are you spending on online gambling? on: October 15, 2018, 04:53:06 PM
~snip

Playing online gambling or traditional gambling in less than an hour is good especially for new people who want to feel the gambling games. I also use less than an hour as you, and I don't spend too much money because I know that playing gambling is forget fun although there is another activity that I can do to get the fun. It is fine to test your luck and never think of the winning in the gambling games because we don't have a big chance to be the winner.
I think it's different when you are playing online and playing traditionally. For online, less than half an hour of playing would be excellent, more than that; you might lose a lot of money there. If you play in a landbased casino, thirty minutes would not be enough; I just think if you drove all the way to the casino (assuming you live 15-minute drive or more), the time wouldn't be worth it. But the most important thing, in my opinion, is that you have bankroll management. I bet everyone would agree.

Yes, I agree that we need to make bankroll management so we can control the money at least, we can play without worry. But all in all, it is better to play not more than one hour or less and doesn't use much money. Perhaps if I can feel how to playing traditional in the casino, I think it will be different than the online gambling but the point is the same, we can lose the money no matter how long we played. Besides that, I think it is enough to play online gambling especially for new people who don't want anybody to know if they want to feel playing gambling in the online gambling site.
10683  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time on: October 15, 2018, 03:36:08 PM
I don't agree. I always see more elderly. people in casinos.
The reason is that new generation spends most of their time in computer and online gambling provides them the facility to gamble from their bedroom. Now there is no need to go outside for gambling and the elders will also never know about their gambling. That’s why the number of youngsters increases day by day. They do not understand what they are doing.

Yes, they can play gambling by secretly without anyone know and if they played for a long time then they have a chance to be addicting in gambling and we need to worry about them. So for people who have teenagers, watching your kids and don't let them in their bedroom for a long time and talk to them or discuss anything so they can open mind for something that is not for them.
10684  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Acceptance. on: October 15, 2018, 04:25:55 AM
If bitcoin were to be accepted, on the condition that it should be regulated. Do you think it should be done, disregarding its decentralized nature?

I think that is what bitcoin should do when the regulation created. Maybe it's not for controlling bitcoin, but it's for controlling the use for every people who have bitcoin or when they make a transaction. But I don't know what exactly the governments want, and they remain silent about the cryptocurrency. But soon, I think they will give a statement about bitcoin and cryptocurrency and perhaps, they will make regulations related to cryptocurrency.
10685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really driven by individuals? on: October 15, 2018, 02:49:49 AM
Bitcoin does not zero minimal value, people who bring the value and drives it. Like the currency, although the government makes regulations in their law, people who use the currency/money will bring the value. People create something, use it, and somehow, many other people following to use it and they finally bring that value. Besides that, bitcoin is digital technology which invented by someone who wants to see one system that doesn't relate to any government and cannot control by anyone.
10686  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can you invest in bitcoin without being scammed? on: October 15, 2018, 02:03:59 AM
How can you invest in bitcoin without being scammed? There are people using very fine techniques like selling bitcoin cash in name of bitcoins using confusing websites name. How to be safe from such scams ?

So far, I don't buy bitcoin in the external website which I don't know, and I only buy on the exchange which I already knew or in the localbitcoin with the recommended seller I knew. Besides that, I have my local seller who helps me to buy and sell the bitcoin, so I don't have to afraid to get scammed because I knew him personally. First, you need to search the recommended website by reading on here because you can find the good website, and if you want to use localbitcoin to buy bitcoin, then you need to find the recommended seller too so you will save. The best thing is you can use your friend services, so you don't have to worry or afraid of anything.
10687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours a day are you spending on online gambling? on: October 14, 2018, 08:49:59 AM
I don't have enough time for online gambling and I am also not regular gambler, therefore I just give less than an hour to online gambling because I believe that more time in gambling will take more money. I just try my luck in online gambling and never think of winning big money out there. There are many good things in life I mostly spend my time in those things and activities.

Playing online gambling or traditional gambling in less than an hour is good especially for new people who want to feel the gambling games. I also use less than an hour as you, and I don't spend too much money because I know that playing gambling is forget fun although there is another activity that I can do to get the fun.

10688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to deal with multiple accounts and abusing faucet? on: October 14, 2018, 07:42:48 AM
Not so long ago, we simplify registration process at our site leaving only the username field...
As a consequence, we are faced with a problem of creating multiple accounts by the same user and abusing faucet (faucet at our site - 0.007 mBTC and only request every 3 hours when balance is zero).
Guys, what solutions do you recommend?  Huh
Thank you!

I am sure that there is a way to prevent someone to do that thing especially if you are admin of the site. You will not have any problem to detect people who are trying to creating multiple accounts and abusing faucet. You can make some limitations for every user especially for people who are coming from the same IP, you can reduce the rewards of the faucet, or if someone caught abusing the faucet, then you can ban his IP. I am sure that you will find a good way to make sure your site secure from the abuse.
10689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you find Success in Gambling? on: October 14, 2018, 05:18:25 AM
I personally did not find it and only once at that time did I find success at gambling by gaining a continuous profit for a week. I was personally surprised that luck continued, but everything disappeared after I could not control my greed in gambling.

We can't guess luck when it will come and for how long. And is a big mistake if we rely on something that depend on luck as a source of income. I think the number of people who experience success from active gambling is very limited.

You are right, and I am sure that we can find another source of income in out there so we can find success in another field. Then we can use gambling for entertainment and get fun inside the game but always remember, that limiting our money in gambling is the best thing that we can do so we can save the money for the other things. Finding success in gambling is not for all people who want to make money but everybody can playing gambling in anytime.
10690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If money/resources were not a factor, how would YOU promote mainstream adoption? on: October 14, 2018, 04:15:35 AM
I still introduce cryptocurrency to my friends, and many of them interest with something smells "money." And later, they think that this is a big opportunity to get part in the cryptocurrency business so they can have a chance to make money.

And soon, after more people know about cryptocurrency, I think I will create one small institute gathering all people who have an interest in the cryptocurrency so we can think about how to spread the news about cryptocurrency to other people. With support from many people, I am sure that it will reach more people to come to the cryptocurrency.
10691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: winter is coming. on: October 14, 2018, 03:13:22 AM
I think the market will be like this until the end of this year and after we pass the new year, the market will start to rise. And if the market can stay at now, then I think we don't have to afraid because all of the coins are on the stable price and the coin is waiting for the good time to increase. We could still make a profit from this moment because there are coins that still up and down so we can use it for searching the profit.
10692  Economy / Economics / Re: Who controls the market? on: October 14, 2018, 02:26:52 AM
No one controls the market, but the whales take their part in the market to moves the price up and down. It could be easily to move the price for them especially if they have more than 100,000 btc and we know that many people have this amount. The earlier player can have much bitcoin in that time because it's only a few people that mining bitcoin and they can collect more than that amount. So, when we see each market have the volume 10,000 btc then one whale can move the price quickly. But I don't think that they can do this in anytime because the market depends on the other traders.
10693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: October 13, 2018, 09:04:47 AM
Yes, some of us will think it's about mentality and if we can help them to think about this at least they can prevent from being addicting in gambling. But sometimes, we want to feel how if we are playing gambling and in that time, we don't think about the addicting because we only want to feel the games with the money involve. But soon, we can become an addicting person in gambling and we are hard to leave the places.

But I am sure that there are people that can come out from gambling and stay aware about the dangers of playing gambling and they prevent to become addicting. Even they can leave gambling forever and that person can be a good example for every gambler who wants to leave gambling.
10694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes enough is enough on: October 13, 2018, 07:17:45 AM
Online gambling has increased addiction very rapidly.  It's easier then ever to jump out of bed, go on yourlatop and place a few bets.  I have a few friends that are heavy gambling addicts and they all ended up in debt and had their lives ruined.  I'm not completely against gambling but lets not forget how dark it can be.

Teenagers are the one who are really getting targeted easily as they think they can easily make money from this and will have a good pocket money from this forgetting the future what can happen if they lose out all their money and how hard at times it is difficult to make money.


I don't think teenagers are the prime victims here. Everyone who dreams to make big money would get easily seduced by the big wins on casinos. Teenagers may lose their pocket money in gambling while addicted mature gamblers are spending their hard earned money in it.

I agree that teenagers are not the victims but they have a big curiosity about something new and sometimes they are trying to know more deeper about that. And this can make them try to playing gambling and they can attract to the deeper side of gambling and spend more money. Sometimes they can think that enough is enough and they still playing the games until they lost the money.
10695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taking a break from gambling on: October 13, 2018, 06:00:58 AM
Yes, we have to break while gambling because I have seen if we continuously gambling means the chances of losing might be very high. So always we have to take a break in order to be in safe hands.
OP's going to take a break and that's what he have to do. Looking for other activities which you can focus with will make your attention draw far away from gambling. A gambler should take a break if he sees himself going far from the usual activity that he does and its no longer helping him.

If someone has realized that by gambling he will only get bad things, then leaving gambling activities is the only way to take. He must force himself to stop completely, no matter how heavy the effort is.

You are right, no matter how hard, we need to do this, and it is worth to break for a while from gambling so we can continue our lives without thinking about gambling. We have a life which we need to use for another thing and socialize with other people so we can feel that life is worth and we meet the new people that might good for our life. Leaving in gambling is a must so we can feel that our life is not just for playing gambling and we need to understand that life is important.
10696  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where and how best to invest? on: October 13, 2018, 04:59:55 AM
Hey. I wanted to ask your advice. Am I right to make 60% of my savings invested in bitcoin and Ethereum, 40% in EOS and NEO. Bought recently on a price reduction and I'm sure in the long run it will bring me a good profit but maybe cost another distribution of my funds?

It means you use all of your saving in cryptocurrency. I think it's not good for you although we know that in the future, cryptocurrency will rise, I hope you still have money for your daily life because you need to continue your life. I think you can use 60% of your saving to invest in bitcoin for 40%, and then the rest of the money, you can split for the various coin which you think it will increase later. But if you already use 100% of your savings, then you can only wait for the price.
10697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin now in use Football Sports on: October 13, 2018, 03:32:47 AM
Of course, this is good news for the cryptocurrency, and soon, many more will participate with bitcoin, and this helps the adoption of the cryptocurrency. As we know that there is a huge fan of sports and with this, I am sure that they will be aware of the cryptocurrency and in the end, they will try to use cryptocurrency. And if this succeeds, then the other field will decide to try to use bitcoin, and the mass adoption will happen.
10698  Economy / Economics / Re: Apart from trading where else to use crypto? on: October 13, 2018, 02:09:41 AM
More than 90% of ICOs (still a wide margin) lack pure utility aside from trading values. Among freelancers, people may trade one crypto for another, but in a brick and mortar business scenario, crypto has little to no impact. For example if I walk into a store I could get the credit card and a few other payment options. Still, with the over abundance of crypto technologies and their native tokens, only a handful of stores have barcodes for bitcoin and a few other payment coin types.

I think we need more radical real world businesses tokenizing their products and using this 'tokenization' as a means to garner support for mainstream crypto adoption. Like rewarding people loyalties for using their products.

Does anyone else here share the same concerns, or do you know a coin that is owned by real businesses for such purposes?

I don't think that they are ready for receiving the money by using tokenization payment option as you mention. Maybe some store ready but still there are many stores is not ready for this option. But soon, after the store can accept with this technology payment, then we can use the crypto for paying for what we bought. And in time, there will be a coin that can use as a bridge for this payment and that coin will be stable than the other.
10699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where and which part of day do you gamble? on: October 12, 2018, 07:23:07 AM
I see some member say that they like to play gambling at the night before they sleep and some of them like to play at noon and, the other like to play gambling in their free time so they can enjoy the game. And it is better if we can play gambling in the time when we didn't do anything so we can enjoy our time and we can get fun. I am playing gambling in my free time too, and sometimes I play at night also, and I don't have the specific day to gamble, and if I think I want to gamble, then I will directly go to the site, and log in to my account and then spend my time on that game.
10700  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Cryptocurrency threatens governments on: October 12, 2018, 03:51:14 AM
I only think that the government is not ready to accept the existing of cryptocurrency. But I don't think that the government banning or forbid or limiting it's used because I see that many governments give a statement that bitcoin is legal in their country. Perhaps, they need more time to realize and fully accept cryptocurrency after they make a research about cryptocurrency. I think they will want to know more details about the cryptocurrency because they will realize that cryptocurrency gives a new solution for their citizen and of course, their problem economic.
