I have some bitcoins in an exchange and I found today that, without any transactions being made, the quantity has gone down. I have contacted the exchange who have said: the balance varies according to the prices that are floating Is this correct? In my view the quantity of bitcoins I have should not fluctuate, only the value of said coins. Or am I missing something? Any explanations would be great! If you have deposited in USD or any other currency but not in BTC then it looks reasonable that you balance in BTC is fluctuating. But if your balance was in BTC from the beginning then there should be no fluctuations, 1 BTC is always 1 BTC. |

What I have noticed about bitcoin is that the longer I use it the more I am comfortable using it as I am also getting the best benefit of using it. I can earn online thru different ways especially in trading some assets not only limited to bitcoins as atlcoins is also one of my favorites.
I've noticed pretty much the same. It's almost impossible for a newcomer to sart experiencing the benefits of the using Bitcoin immediately. As any other new thing you are starting to use, it will feel inconvenient and unworthy. And only with time you'll realize how good it is for you, but you should learn some things during that time. |

The best affiliate program I have encountered with was on this poker site: https://btckings.com/pm/affiliatesOur affiliate program is very straight-forward and simple. No tricks, no gimmicks. You refer a player to us and we will give you 30% of her/his rake for life. Rake is calculated and paid out once a day. Unfortunately the site is still in the stage of development but as far as I know they are going to start operate fully soon so keep them in mind. |

First of it's very hard for a government to controll the use of Bitcoin so in democatic countries it's almost irrelevant whether it's legal or not. In the non-democratic countries the situation is different though: a neighbor might snitch on you and your place would be searched by the police, your computer confiscated and then even you never used Bitcoins they will "prove" that you were using them and put you in jail.

Of course betting on sport = gambling because it's not like you research things and then bet on a team who will win most likely and you have your bet back doubled. It's not like that, because it's not only you who can do the research. So if the chances of a team to win are high you should risk say 1 BTC in order to get 0.1 profit in case of winning. Same thing with the dice gambling for example when you bet with 90% win chance.

No.. Paypal is definitely not a scam. It's a very big corporation which I doubt that they won't do anything that is illegal. It's their reputation will be on the line if they would do such scam because paypal uses by millions of people all around the world and it will be a big lost for them if that happens.
Well that is certainly true. If paypal fraud then can be sure his reputation will go down, and those who feel deceived by paypal will get huge advantages if they reported the incident to the paypal company. So, chances are that we are experiencing an error or in violation of the procedure that has been set by paypal. so this is not a scam The Paypal protects the frauderest in some occasions. The charge back system works well for scammers. No system can ever be perfect and that of course includes PayPal but in a lot of cases you can minimize risks. First thing before you even start using PayPal, it's a good idea to read and understand their terms and conditions, something that most people never do. Once you know how they work, it will be easier for you to follow good safe practices when trading. Those terms and conditions are written generally in very small letters and taking several pages if not more. Nobody ever reads them, me neither. That's why the only way to minimize the chances to be scammed is relying on established companies with very good reputation and PayPal with its 188 million users is definitely one of them. |

I think an adult person should have the right to have a gun if that person can successfully pass some tests on mental health. And in the case that person is caught doing anything illegal or showing mental unstability the gun should be confiscated immediately.
I don't have a gun and I'm not going to, but I think free people should have the right to have it.
Free people don't have to prove that wanting to exercise their human right to self-defense isn't a mental illness. Sorry, if I didn't make myself clear, but I didn't mean that the willing to have a gun to protect yourself can be somehow interpreted as a mental illness. I was just saying that only people in their right mind should be allowed to have guns. I think it's an obvious thing, we don't want armed lunatics on our streets. But who is going to allow them? Government? Government are the people who are NOT in their right mind, or there wouldn't be any gun control issue.  Government are the people who we are voting for. At least in democratic countries things are more or less like that. Of course I know that some of them are not in their right mind, but it is scary to believe that all of them are mad, right?  So we better make them to decide what is better for us. ) |

I voted "Both of them have same risk" because I really think so. What is a "Skill-based gambling" anyway? Aren't all the gambling addicts considering their gambling "Skill-based"? And I have the same thoughts about trading or skill-based trading if you want. No one can really tell you which one is more risky because both of them have pretty high risks.

Of course you can invest if you want to grow your money faster but you should always remember that the more profit you can get from an investment the higher the risks. Also do not be fooled by those who would try to take advantage of the fact that you know this and would provide you with "the plan" from which you can see that your income will be small but steady. Small income doesn't necessarily mean a steady one.

I heard someone won $200 from their faucet recently and the guy was here on bitcointalk providing evidences. I wouldn't recommend to play the dice game there, but I think it wouldn't hurt to visit the site from time to time trying your luck with their faucet. Although you mostly get $0.002, I can confirm that to hit at least $0.02 or $0.2 is possible sometimes.

Always such data are classified. Very often panic among the population can be worse than the consequences of the accident.
That is right, but also don't forget that almost everybody can have a radiation dosimeter nowadays (at least journalists can surely buy one to make a sensational news). So if the situation was serious in any way people would know. Fortunately the times when the governments had the ability to hide something important from the people are in the past. |

First your site should be unique in a way at least: lower house or greater referral commissions or faster bets or bigger faucet or better overall design ... or, which is even better, all of the above. Only then you can start promoting it because otherwise people who would see the promotion would visit your site once and then would leave for good.
IMO all the ways to promote your site were comprehensively covered in this thread already.

I came across this article which actually looks like a pure advertisement to me so no way I'm saying to trust it, but it's really interesting to see some replies from the Bitcoin community. I personally think that in reality it's impossible to create a currency which is "backed by the real labour force and is redeemable for real person-hours" like they are stating. What do you guys think? https://blog.chronobank.io/benefits-of-stable-time-based-cryptocurrencies-4247d22ef603#.b9ygwjssn |

The world would be better, if the US dollar (dropped in value?)
I'm not sure about this. Theoretically, like many people are saying in this thread, it would be possible to get more USD for a ton of rice or whatever. But on the other hand you would be able to buy less goods for the dollars you obtained. And there is one more thing, which is significant IMO. In poor countries with unstable economy many people keep their savings in USD. What would happen to them then? |

Gold will never lose its value in many areas. It is used in electronics because gold is a highly efficient conductor that can carry tiny currents and remain free of corrosion. Electronic components made with gold are highly reliable. Gols is also useed in dentistry because it is chemically inert, nonallergenic and easy for the dentist to work.
That being said, I think gold is overestimated right now and it will lose some value in the future. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is underestimated and it will cost more in the years to come.

Happy hour starting now . And .... I missed it again! Well I guess next time then. Although I have around 100k on my balance I'm going to gamble them away quickly to use that big faucet. If I'm not mistaken it's 10,000 sats every 3 minutes right? I hope I won't miss it next time. |

I talked my university out of giving me free electricity, basically supporting us with free server farms which include electricity. I am in Malaysia and wants to starts mining and possibly creating a farm, a buddy of mine in China who is familiar with the mining ecosystem there says that even with cheap electricity in china (There are threads saying China's electricity's so cheap) the Roi is diminishing greatly there.
So if I can get free electricity is it still worth starting from scratch, I mean making this a full time job, and start mining?
Note: considering to give up my not-too-bad job for this
Of course free electricity is a big advantage and you will have bigger chance to start getting ROI sooner. But first you should ask you university how many kWhs they are going to give you monthly. Because they might be surprized by the numbers you need for mining. Since you are talking about full time job I guess you are going to use at least 3 miners, right? |

In all Arab countries, the problem is to get alcohol. The Koran forbids alcohol, but for tourists in hotels make an exception.
I know this, I've heard from my frinds travalling to the Arabian Peninsula that although it is forbidden you still can buy it in a hotel bar. Now I'm wondering will this be the case in Irak? Because it looks like they are going to ban the use of alcohol completely. |

I'm from a poor country and Bitcoin helps me, does that count? Other alt coins help me too, and my family.
Bitcoin is money and money is almighty.
I dont know how bitcoin helps you,but yes bitcoin can certainly help many indiviaduals,providing cheap and quick online transactions or even providing some earning oportunities online as well. Exactly this. Transactions with Bitcoins not only cheap, they almost nothing compared to Western Union for example. And they are really fast, you just have to include the recommended transaction fee which right now is just 0.0002 or $0.14. |

No it is not a part of our daily life. You're gambling because you chose it and no one force you to do it. The fact that you can earn money or even be rich in an instant without exerting too much effort is what attracts people into gambling. But in fact there are higher chance that you will only just going to lose money in gambling than going to earn profits from it . If gambling becomes part of your daily life it means that you're addicted to it.
Well, gambling is part of my daily life but I don't think I am addicted. If I play about 30 minutes per day on average or even less can I be called a gambling addict? I think the answer is no, considering the fact that I have lost less than $100 in total in more than 2 years of gambling. I'm just not planning to get rich with it and that's why I never lose much. Gamble for fun, don't try to earn with it. |
