11101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 08, 2016, 07:59:53 AM
Bitcoin will likely help a particular person, not the whole country.
This is correct only individual can help by the bitcoin but country it self it can't. Bitcoin has requirement that not all poor people can afford.
If all people can afford gadgets to access bitcoin i think all people will be rich someday by the help of bitcoin.
Yes it can help a person, but not specifically a poor person because the amount you will earn online is only enough to become a side income. For it to solve a people without money the bitcoin needed to be earn must be sufficient and equal to a regular income. Well at present there is no way for you to have that big of amount as faucets won't give you enough to make a living  only signature campaigns can actually give fair rates.
You do not see the entire benefit of bitcoin as you only consider it as a side income for the poor, it's more than that actually since we cannot let them all work to have side income. There is something that they will benefit and that is not to maximize their income but to minimize their expenses.

It's all about remittance worldwide. We do not need bank but we do banking here.


It can really help poor countries but people in these countries must do have proper education so that they may able to understand the communication of ideas which bitcoins has. This helped a lot of people who are hardworking and willing to learn, help is not worth it if the person is not interested to know the importance of bitcoin to our lives.
Not all people can be help as definitely big numbers of the total population in the poor countries does not know how to use computer. What is important is they need to learn how to use computer first before you teach them about bitcoin.

management of money is not an easy task with all temptations flying around like black friday, xmas nearing and the alike discipline really has to be at its best. the best way would be use money on this that have important value to you
Therefore you need to resist the temptation, that is your only chance to be able to manage your money very well. Though you have good plans in managing your money but failure to implement it will result to nothing. Still you have no savings in the end.
11103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 08, 2016, 07:47:34 AM
Money is something that make people do thing they wouldnt do, gambling has a mix of pleasure as well money, both are present at gambling, i do believe anyone that makes any single bet does wanna to profit or get rich risking a tinny ammount.
it is relative, how a person has a purpose in the game, whether they are just looking for the thrill of it or their ambition to gain an advantage. for people whose only purpose is to seek pleasure, they do not include people who are addicted, but they are people who are confused to throw his money.
The money involve is not that a big amount that it's hard for you to accept when you lose. When you are gambling for fun, even you lose you are still happy because you are getting the right entertainment you are looking for.
11104  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin better or paypal? on: November 08, 2016, 07:43:35 AM
Bitcoin is much profitable than paypal Smiley and i think that bitcoin has a possibility to be the worlwide currency

i agree with you that bitcoin is much more profitable than paypal and you are right that bitcoin is worldwide currency and bitcoin is available in everywhere for online shopping so i also recommend that bitcoin is good than paypal.

It all depends on your needs. If you want a good investment option, then Bitcoins are much better than Paypal. But if you're looking to buy something online from some unknown person then I recommend to use Paypal because they protect you from any scams. If you use Bitcoins to buy from an unknown person, then they may scam you and may not return your money as well. So both of them got advantages and disadvantages, and I use both for different purposes.

We can't remove that fact that a lot of stores are more relying into the usage of paypal for the payments. Because they are still not able to adopt bitcoins, but if we are just looking into the future and all stores are already done in adoption of bitcoin then for sure paypal will adopt it also. You are right, it depends on how you are going to use and need them.

Even though many stores starts accepting bitcoins but as a buyer If I don't know that store or first time visiting the site then as a buyer I will not use bitcoins because don't know whether they will ship the items or not. In that case, I still go with Paypal. Off course If the site is reputed then no problem in using bitcoins like I am already using bitcoins to buy gigs in Fiverr.
The truth is stores will not accept bitcoin if they do not have the right study that buyers will make their business profitable. That is how you make a feasibility study once you are in business. It's always considered to study the need first before putting a business.

Adoption rate will increase in the future.

I personally knew a few people, whose lives got destroyed due to their addiction to gambling. IMO, the addiction towards gambling is even worse than that with drugs or alcohol. I have seen a lot of people claiming that they have profited from gambling. But I am yet to see one for real. IMO, the only people who benefit from gambling are the ones who run casinos and online gambling sites.
That is right,because having an addiction to alcohol is not as dangerous as having an addiction to gambling,because when you are addicted to alcholol at the worst scenerio you will end up losing your mind every night and having an hangover every morning.

But when you are addicted to gambling you can end up losing your house and all of your savings,a thing that can hurt your surrendings and your family,not just yourself.
yes but if you just limit your gambling up to certain amount then you can prevent your self from hurting too much, but it need a strong well and decision power.
You have to limit of course, otherwise you will lose all your money. You cannot win in gambling with just relying on luck alone but more on the skills is what you need. The key here is to be able to win in the long run rather than an temporary win.
11106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: November 08, 2016, 07:34:23 AM
Chasing loses is not a really good idea when you are lose big then much better if you are not going to play and pushed to hard to just earn too much and win the profit again although yes it is easy to win but it easy to lose either if you are going to check don't idolize those veteran gambling that can really earn good profit.
But if you will not chase your losses you will simply loose more and more, I mean if you will not chase your losses then actually you have no motive and gambling without a motive would lead you nowhere.
If you have goal like I will dig up 0.1 from my loss and then stop, maybe that can help and also will make you less addictive, I think this way you can quit gambling too soon if you achieve your aims.

I agree, that chasing some goals are better than trying to recover complete loss because that's not possible at once and if you gamble with higher amounts just to get it back in one go, then chances are you may even lose that and that would be a double loss just to recover your single loss.
I think having goals in gambling is also one way to become addicted in gambling, if you just play gambling without any aiming that you will gonna win, I think this will not make you addicted in gambling because for me one you wanted to win in gambling without any assurance that you will gonna win I think this is also one way to become addicted to it.
You cannot be addicted if you treat business like a business, it's okay to have goals as at least you have something that will inspire you but make sure your method is very relevant and always follow it based on the right way to do it.
11107  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do you buy Bitcoins? on: November 08, 2016, 07:31:28 AM
Today I bought a Bitcoin then I am sure that within a few days the price will be higher. A few years later I got a good profit from their purchase.

This is what I am doing too, I buy bitcoins and just hold it for a long time without doing anytime. But if there is a chance that I can see a good alt coin to pump. I will buy that alt coin so that the potential profit will be just added from the alt coin that I will buy. And sometimes I just buy also for buying things online from bitcoin merchants.

just as I sometimes bitcoin I save and buy some alt coin is being dropped and my profit tube back I usually take to urgent purposes only

This is a good strategy mate and it will take a lot of patience sometimes and wait for the right value to go high for your bitcoins to sell it to make a profit from it. I'm also applying the same method and hopefully will get my life better by doing this.
If you hold bitcoins for a longer period of time you will be safe as bitcoin gives you a good future. What we do is just to support bitcoin as for sure we will be reaping the fruits of our hard work in the future. Bitcoin will be more progressive in the coming years and what will happen is the price will also increase.
11108  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: November 08, 2016, 07:26:33 AM
i think bitcoin is much more good than gold because gold is much more stable and bitcoin increasing its price too much faster so buy bitcoin in big amount is very much good and profitable than gold .

Do not forget that buying Bitcoin is actually risky at any given time, so I wouldn't advise to buy big amounts. Personally I think that Bitcoin is a better investment than gold so buying reasonable amounts is a good thing, but one shouldn't ruin the whole thing for them by borrowing money and buying big amounts of BTC awaiting for a big profit in no time. Be careful guys, Bitcoin is a good thing but you should use it responsibly.

It depends on how you are trusting bitcoin and how can you take a risk. I saw some people who are buying bulks of bitcoin even the price is still high just like today but only lower back weeks ago. And it is going to be a great profit if you will take a big risk and when the price increases, you will increase your profit too but chances of falling is also there.

I agree to go with bitcoin than on gold for it's level of price status. Bitcoin's price increases and we make more profit from it progressively if we just take risks in investing. Compared bitcoin, gold's price is else fixed but we can also make profit from it. It's just that, for my own opinion, we can make more and fast profit in bitcoin investment than in gold. Instead I prefer to have gold as an ornament and to be a symbol of wealth.

I agree mate. If you want to have a long term investment you can let sit and wait of your gold and you can also use it in the future if you need money but if you want to have a fast profit then you need to invest in bitcoin which I think is better than gold.
No problem with gold as it will guarantee you profit, however, you cannot just invest with gold if you do not have the amount of good capital that is needed in order for you to have a decent profit.I like to say that bitcoin is the trend now so better invest with bitcoin.
11109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: November 07, 2016, 08:26:29 AM
It is wrong when the money you will use is important or reserve to use to any emergency situation on your life, you have to be a safe/practical gambler. Gamble what you can lose , always put some limit every time you bet so you will have control over the entire betting stage.
while gambling we have to keep in our mind that we do not have to put our money for investment in it but we have to put only that money in gambling which we will need to spend for entertainment.

That is true - gambling is definitely for entertainment only! If you want your money to be invested in gambling sector, I highly suggest to invest it to reputable online casino that accepts investors rather than playing or gambling these casinos. You better have chances of profiting when you invest to these reputable online casinos than playing there Smiley
Gambling is wrong if you understand it in the wrong way, it's not certainly a money making machine because in this game we are the one who will give our money while gambling sites provide the right entertainment for us to enjoy.
11110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: November 07, 2016, 08:22:22 AM
I keep on playing gambling over and over again because of my winnings on my favorite betting sites ,i think im addicted because i use to earn almost everyday and that keeps me coming back on playing and then when i lose some amounts stop for an hour and back to playing again .Many of us keeps coming back because of good earnings it pushes us to play again ,some are greedy .

Good to know that you always win mate. This is also the reason why I keep coming back, especially in sports betting because most of the time I always win. But I always limit myself and control my greed.

In sports betting, you better have chances of winning when you know the team and the players of that team as well as the coaching staff. If you know the team you are betting on and the team that you are betting against, then your chances of winning is high - of course there will be times when you lose but you will do well if you know well the teams.
You have to know them to educate yourself but that does not guarantee that you will be winning in sports betting, in gambling it's very unpredictable although we are so convince with our bets and we believe we choose the right team to win.

Take it for example a Lakers vs Warriors game, the warriors are the best power team but they got routed by the lakers at home. That's gambling shit happens.

choosing one of them is a best choice, it's depending about how much you have money now.
for me buying some hardware minner is better than both of them Roll Eyes
Then you are not discussing base on topic. I guess you need to choose between the two and what you choice has a little connection somehow to bitcoin as you are having a mining business to earn bitcoins, most of the miners in the early days are already rich now since the price of bitcoin have substantially grown.
11113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe that win in gambling is depending on your luck ? on: November 07, 2016, 08:08:54 AM
How sad the so many people believe it is about luck. Come on, there is not really such a thing as luck. It is just something you create to explain why you lose. Winning is obviously about nothing more than mathematical probability and the problem of losing is connected to attemts to overcome this probability and win.

Really there is no such thing as luck? And then every time you gamble you are wishing that you will be lucky so that you can win some good amount as you gamble? For me, I do believe that it is because of luck every time you are receiving unexpected winnings, then you just need to be thankful that you are winning or what you called 'lucky' by that time that can't be calculated by scientific and mathematical probabilities.

Gambling is really based on pure luck. However, professional gamblers built many systems to at least mitigate the losses and have some winning sessions. It involves a number of system in place and experienced. They bet on a pre-planned bets meaning: they bet according to plan no matter what ans stop according to plan no matter what - no emotions involved.
I beg to disagree, it's not really base on luck but base on skills. If you have the skills you will know what game that will give you a good chance of winning and you cannot make it in a dice games where there's a house advantage. You can gamble for fun and for profit but most of us gamble for profit so we need skills on that.
11114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: November 07, 2016, 08:05:31 AM
According to the data from the beginning of this year there are now over 10 million bitcoin wallets. I would rather assume that 1 bitcoiner might be using 2 or more wallets.
For example online wallet for quick access and fast transactions and full validation software wallet as main wallet.
With bitcoin wallets being free and easy to create, it is illogical to think that multiple users are sharing control over one wallet.
But we cannot rely on the number of created wallets for to find the number of bitcoin users as no one know that how much wallets a person have there are chances that a person will have more than 2 or 3 wallets and there is also chances that a person will have only one wallet so it is not a relying way to find it.

Yeah. We can't really tell the accurate number of people using bitcoins by just looking on the number of bitcoins wallets. For a reason that a certain person might be using multiple wallets and we cannot tell whether how many wallets that same person do actually have. So, I agree that we can't count the actual number of bitcoin users by just relying on the number of bitcoin wallets being created.
There is no devices that can calculate the exact number of people using bitcoin because a lot of users having multiple bitcoin wallet and on that you will be incorrect if you will be base on the bitcoin wallet of each users.
Exactly, therefore what we can do now is just to make the right estimate and I have a good estimate of the total number of users and I believe based on what I see and read on the recent news of bitcoin, we are growing in numbers and that is consistently happening which makes the price rise as well.
11115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: November 07, 2016, 08:01:43 AM
Women have the equal right to do what they want to do, having said that they can also gamble for the sake of entertainment. I believe they can gamble as much as they want as they have the right to be happy also. yes, I do believe girls gamble as I have seen it already.
11116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: November 07, 2016, 07:52:57 AM
It all depends on the technological advancement of the new digital currency and if bitcoin's blockchain has too many problems and becomes to cumbersome and slow. Many factors will determine this in the future but for now I believe Bitcoin will dominate for the next 15/20 years but that's just my 2 bit lol.
I believe a good technology coin can be done by any good developers, however with bitcoin it has already gain the trust of the people and it has been proven that we can make money with bitcoin, so those who are holding their bitcoins will not sell their shares to continue making money, unless there's some flaws you can find with bitcoin.
11117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Controlling your temper in gambling on: November 07, 2016, 07:47:17 AM
suggested that we set a limit on the money that may be at stake. So if we've passed the limit of money that may be at stake, we should stop first because maybe it was not our day.
we can prepare music to accompany us during play. So we'll be more relaxed when playing.

Learn to control yourself and know your limitations when you do gambling. I like the music part mate, yeah most of the time it would help you feel relaxed. This will set your emotions / temper subside when we gamble.

It is very effective mate when you are going to gamble plus with the music all around the place. That will make you feel relaxed and that will help you to control your emotion, so when you are startling to rage for sure it will be stopped because you are hearing some kinda good music and relaxation for it. Temper will lead you to fall down if you don't control it.
Yes maybe the music will also make us feel relaxed when gambling so they can control our emotions. It is very difficult to remain calm especially when it was less great, would definitely want to feel angry. Maybe if someone gamble just for the fun of it could minimize the emotions that occur so the game more fun. The most important thing to me in gambling is self-control, whether in emotion or in the betting. Because if we can control ourselves will surely be able controlled the game very well.
Music might be helpful to you but for sure not for everyone, you will really chase your bets when you cannot manage your emotion as it's just normal for a certain gambler to get back his loses once down big. It's win or go home, a game for the gambler if we aim money.
11118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: November 07, 2016, 07:28:33 AM
Yes obviously criminal are using bitcoin more then real money transaction because it's anonymous and keeps their private information hidden. That make their mind to use bitcoin for illegal transaction. This had to be solved because if bitcoin is used for illegal activities then government could ban it earlier then they are supposed to be banned.

And it is in favor of them because there is no need for their real identity to be included for each illegal transactions that they are going through. I don't think that is fair enough that the government will ban bitcoin because of being abused and used by the criminals. How about dollars and other local currencies for they are also used for illegal transactions.
Definitely, that is why bitcoin is so popular now in illegal activities because we can transact without a limit, and with bitcoin we cannot be trace if we are transacting in illegal activities as we are living in an anonymous world. Even in this forum, we do not know personally and this gives us a complete freedom and privacy.
11119  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I've got $20k to invest. Please recommend! on: November 07, 2016, 07:24:29 AM
If you want the least amount of risk with potentially 20% gain, I'd go with bitcoins.  or maybe some Ripples

Investing that dollars in bitcoin is much better and not 20% but he will earn a large amount of profit if he do not spend them early and hold them for longer time at least for 1 year.

I think the bitcoin is a good investment for the long time. That has been proved in the past 6 years.

You are right in the last 6 years we can noticed that bitcoin has passed its journey so strongly and is not becoming more stronger and will be a very good currency for the future so if someone will want to trust on bitcoin for longer time then he will be very happy in the future.
Good thing if you can hold longer because there's a benefit in holding your bitcoins. Take notice that the price has increase more than a 100% for this year, and that is already a great development so far which is something we should consider that the future of bitcoin is great and so as with our investment.
well just make sure to maximize your profits making yourself busy chasing how to grow your btc while holding it as your investment if you can take some time to read inside the forum you will find more ways just some example would be alt trading knowing what would be the possibility of an alt projet and put part of your btc investment inside it will make you some good profits too.
Exactly, you can find relevant information here in the this forum which you can use with your investment. Also, you have to study carefully by verifying the suggestions of the people here and not just follow it blindly, remember it's your money is at risk and not them.
11120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: November 07, 2016, 07:21:08 AM
Well that and investors of the site tend to earn the most.
how can you invest in a gambling site .will they be offering shares if you are willing to invest .how to make sure that your investment will be safe with the company i am investing in since these are all online companies .
I dont think gambling will make you rich .it is known to break families rather than making them rich

You just go to their website, create an account and find investment section in their platform. You then deposit bitcoins to the designated bitcoin address just for your investment or get it from your existing casino bankroll. It is really easy and fast to invest to these online casinos. Just be very vigilant though and only invest to reputable casinos online.

Yeah seems pretty normal these days to see investment based sites.
With moneypot being the hub for casino app you see more investment based sites.

But in my opinion id go to a place that controls their own funds there is a few of them.
I invested in different gambling sites and they are profitable actually, but the problem with me is I do not have the decent amount of money to put. I know the interest or the profit of our investment is not that big so it's best to invest a bigger amount for a decent profit.
