11361  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin be used to support terrorists? on: April 30, 2017, 06:54:06 PM
Do we know who is terrorist and How we can know they use bitcoin or not ,bitcoin is future money System and who need use this System they can use it ,terrorists can use every money System because of we cant say money System has problem so bitcoin is like that too ,to use money System is not bad but suppory mean is different and bitcoin is not support to terrorists

Terrorist needs funds to continue their terror act globally. Most of the terror group have been identified and their funds are being frozen by a lot of government around the world. Bitcoin is another option for them to transfer money in and out of the terror organization. They are taking advantage of the design of bitcoin, being de centralized and pseudo-anonymous. So most likely bitcoin has been used by terror group globally now.

Antigua & Barbuda accept Bitcoin technology: More details are available at the blog post below...

http://www.bitcoindailyupdates.com
This is legit news. We can find info about this project here: http://antiguaobserver.com/ab-looking-to-embrace-bitcoin/
Bitcoin acceptance and adoption is speeding up recently. We have half dozen countries which embraced or will soon embrace BTC.
Japan, Switzerland, Korea, Antigua and Barbuda maybe even Russia will fully legalize BTC soon.

So another country joining the technology revolution. But for me for bitcoin to truly go mainstream. Countries like US or UK and other first world country should be in the forefront. I'm wondering why other countries specially Asia is leading the way? Europe, not much, only a few country is signaling its support to bitcoin.

This is actually good news. They are a regulated exchange - and the SEC won't approve the ETF until most of the trading is done on regulated exchanges (because the pricing of the ETF depends on it).

Yeah I agree Gemini is a regulated exchange. This could be a good sign that the 2nd review has a good chances of being approved by ETF.
Price of btc in Gemini: 1349.14.
11364  Economy / Speculation / Re: Looks like we have set a new ATH at $1,377 on: April 29, 2017, 07:09:07 PM
I don't think the Bitcoin ETF has any major effect on Bitcoin prices.
ETF news has always some influence. Investors are pleased that SEC is giving ETF another shot so soon. It might mean something.
Do you remember how BTC price was skyrocketing the day before previous 'final date' of Coin ETF evaluation?
We have similar situation now.

Looks like it could have influence the price of bitcoin right now. I remember the Coin ETF back in March and we have this kind of situation before. In anticipating of the ETF approval?(rejection) the price of bitcoin rose to set ATH that time. Maybe we are also having the same effect. But excuse my ignorance, I don't know when will the SEC release their decision for their second review?

Bitcoin can reach 3000 USD in a year ?

If we could solve this scaling debate issue I would say yes! This is the only reason why we are not really progressing at the moment. Since 2 years we are carrying that rock with us. An activation of SegWit alone could push us up to $2000 just alone in no time and would give us also tremendous potential for future implementations which are already in the pipeline!This means even more boost for future price increases!
But how likely is a solution in the next few months? I have no idea but I hope we will make it this year. Hope never dies! Smiley


It could probably push bitcoin price to reach more than $2000 if SegWit is activate on bitcoin network. Sadly, with all the politics going around the scaling issue it won't be implemented for now. Bitcoin is really having its best year so far with other country putting regulation and legalizing it. But one thing that will truly rocket the price of bitcoin to the moon is the scaling problem. Like you, I'm still hoping that it can be done this year.
11366  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do you trust Poloniex? on: April 28, 2017, 04:06:39 PM
Yeah. So far Poloniex looks trusted for almost crypto trader out there. Although they just delist some alt-coins on their trading platform, it didn't have any bad effect on their reputation so far. Never had such bad experience on them, so far, so good. But the moment I hear someone cries scam on them. I will be the first one to move out.
11367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is winning the Race - Bitcoin or Paypal? on: April 28, 2017, 04:02:21 PM
I've gambled with Bitcoin and PayPal and my preferred payment method is Bitcoin only.
When I tried to gamble with PayPal, there's a feeling of nervousness with that Company. There just is no safe feeling with PayPal because they like to have frozen accounts for no reason at all. Making a withdrawal through PayPal is not usually automated as well because the company will notice a number of payments going to and into the company and they will just freeze accounts and keep the money.

You are lucky if Paypal don't froze your account. I still have my paypal account but I don't used that much often because I already switch to bitcoin already. Specially if paypal found out that something is fishy with your account, the ins and outs of your money history, and they will just froze it off without apparent reason.
11368  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?! on: April 28, 2017, 03:50:39 PM
Because people don't like to see bitcoin is taking off and succeed. Maybe they don't have investment in bitcoin but rather they have holding a lot of alt-coins. And if so, when bitcoin succeeded their altcoin will be worth nothing. So they spread misconception and telling that bitcoin is dead already. On the contrary, bitcoin is far reaching new record breaker price and many countries are adopting it or putting regulations on the used of bitcoin technology.
11369  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should people use Bitcoin? on: April 28, 2017, 03:41:00 PM
We know that bitcoin is in a success right now and technology is making advancement and when comes in money there is bitcoin the bitcoin prce is increasing because of demand it is more reliable to use and fast and a lot of opportunity can give in us.

Those are the result of bitcoin's popularity and because of the convenience it is giving to it's user and as well as anonymity.

People are using it for their transactions and most of us are treating this as a type of investment and asset.

If people will not use this, they will regret it in the end when they finally see the price of bitcoin reached to 5 digits or higher.

They should use it now because it's profitable and helpful.
If only they know the advantages of having it they might change their mind. like what you said bitcoin is not just for investment many uses it for transaction and as currency for purchasing an item online. if you invest in btc it can give you good profit but you must be patient, its ideal for long term investment.

Correct. It can used by a lot of people that have money as store of value or investment for long term. Only with the scaling issue that bitcoin is facing, it can be used for micro-payment transaction because it requires huge transaction fees. So for me, bitcoin is a good instrument and should be ideal for long term investment.
11370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: April 26, 2017, 10:26:08 PM
The only logical reason someone will just leave the game is that if he has 0 money to play for gambling. Other's say that if they have win the jackpot, on the contrary, if you just won the jackpot then there's a reason to comeback again. You have the money and you want to try if you can win big again. But I doubt it will happened again. So for me, the possible way to leave is that if your bankroll are emptied. Simple as that.
11371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ArtByte announces the acceptance of BTC on the ArtByte Music Store on: April 25, 2017, 07:36:46 PM
Looks like artists will individually have to upload their music onto your platform.  That just means that nearly no one will do it because your platform requires the crossover between crypto fans and music fans - not a lot.

It might get some more people into your coin, but I really don't think there would be a need for another cryptocurrency for a basic platform like this.  You should just accept Bitcoin deposits and keep them as Bitcoin.

You have a point. Since you already convert ArtByte to bitcoin, it makes sense for your target niche (artist) to used bitcoin directly. I think you have a good idea. Maybe artist will now go to crypto currency and used either ArtByte or bitcoin to make purchases on your website.
11372  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-04-25] US regulators to review decision blocking Bitcoin ETF’s listing on: April 25, 2017, 07:26:05 PM
Does this move means another positive news for bitcoin ecosystem? Any impact on the market price?

I believed that SEC decision regarding the ETF is final. I don't know why are they making another review. They just granted a review nothing more. They will not suddenly make a U-turn and change the decision they handled last March.
11373  Economy / Economics / Re: lest we forget, Bitcoin is a blessing. on: April 25, 2017, 07:19:17 PM
Bitcoin has pass through many stage, limitations, attack and forks issue but its price keep on increasing from inception till now. At this time Last year bitcoin price was $450 but today it is $1245 that was over 180% increment in just a year. This is what we call blessing, that is making progress in the face of strong opposition!!

When you call it blessing, its like something a gift from God. So is Satoshi a God now?  Cheesy

I call it opportunity. When I(we) found bitcoin, it give us a possibility orsato likelihood to profit or gain money through trading and other forms. Early adopters didn't know that the popularity of bitcoin will get to this level, but the opportunity has presented itself so now they are harvesting the fruits of its labor. But for those who have just started bitcoin the same concept still exist they can still make money enjoy bitcoin as mode of payment.
To me bitcoin is a blessing from God. God can use anyone to be a blessing to the world including satoshi! We all know the benefits of bitcoin to all of us here because without bitcoin we would not be here every day.  For me the first money I make online is bitcoin and I was able to covert it to fiat and use the money for my need so I see bitcoin as a blessing.

Indeed bitcoin is a blessing for me as well because its open doors for earning bitcoin in which way possible. And just like you, it can easily be converted to fiat money that you can used freely. So a big blessing knowing bitcoin and making it possible for me to earn money through online.
11374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Suspicion of Insider Trading at Poloniex on: April 25, 2017, 07:13:35 PM
i think its little bit strange for delisting coins in poloniex because from what i've read in many sites, there is no news from polo that wants to delisted that coins and its make many traders is confusing and sadly. if i take a look in polo in few weeks ago, all of coins that will be delisted gets a good moving in the market and there are many traders doing large amount of bitcoin and i think the coins is deserve to stay with polo.

Right. They delisted it without any warning to both traders and devs as well. Some of them are moving but Poloniex thinks that those are shitcoins and needs to be out of their trading platforms. I pity some dev who works hard and for some strange reasons, their coin gone in Poloniex.
11375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: April 25, 2017, 07:05:27 PM

I believe in superstitions but I don't have superstitions in playing gambling. I just play and test if I have luck today but with the hope of winning of course. I also apply superstitions in real life and I wear charms but I think that being optimistic  attracts positive things to happen in your life. It is not bad to follow superstitions but some people depends their whole life in it as if death will happen if they do not follow.



Yes, its not bad to follow superstitions but sometimes people tend to follow it like its life dependent on it. Having a lucky charms or whatever they call it is not bad. But don't get over react if the things that you are expected to happened didn't happened because you thought that everything will go in your favor because of your lucky charm.
11376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: April 24, 2017, 06:52:05 PM
You can quit gambling for your own good not for other the only person can help you to quit is you no one can help you to quit gambling, as long as you hate it you will not go there trust me think of all your family their sacrifices to eat everyday how if you gave them best food to eat than wasting your money for gambling.

Yes we can or we can try to play with only a small amount. If you are addicted like me then you would know that it is very hard to let go off gambling addiction. Therefore to keep on gambling, I must sustain what I use to gamble therefore I only play with a small amount so either when I lose it will still be fine

So you are saying that you are now playing an amount that you can afford to lose? Well at least that a head start if you are quitting gambling for good. Just slowly reducing the amount of bitcoin you can play at any given time. I hope it will continue this way for you so that you can quit gambling and used the money for other purposes.
11377  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: April 24, 2017, 06:03:25 PM
Bitcoin can be used in both spectrum, good or bad. so it is possible that individual will used bitcoin to bribe and corrupt like government official for a favor return. And there are like several ways how the person who will received that money can't be track. Unlike in fiat where there is a paper trail that will lead to you.
11378  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins Delisted From Poloniex are Not Dead and Kicking on: April 24, 2017, 05:53:30 PM
They are not delisting them because they are thinking them to be dead, they never told so. They took this bad decision because those markets where not enough profitable. And beside that they keep some Ethereum and Monero markets with near no trading volume...

I think Polo delisted some of those altcoins because thy are not profitable as mentioned. But at least Polo should have the decency to informed the owners of the developer about their decision. No given explanation by Polo so we are all speculating why they decided so delist them and why keep some like Monero with no trading volume.
11379  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: less wild fluctuation? is bitcoin bemome more mature? on: April 24, 2017, 05:40:26 PM
In the first quarter of 2017, bitcoin price only increased 10%, while ETH 600% and DASH 846%. And i noticed that btc price is like going steady in the past few weeks. Is this good or bad? Does this mean it is growing into a mature investment?

The price is going steady because some exchanges like Bitfinex hold the USD withdrawal of its investors so naturally they convert their USD to bitcoin that why the price started to increase. But once the withdrawal is open again, the price of bitcoin will go down. But in terms of being mature, no bitcoin will not mature and will remain unstable and volatile.
11380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The biggest Dice win? on: April 24, 2017, 05:29:31 PM
I never played at OneHash. Biggest win is like 0.03BTC only. I just lucky that day. But then again I went back and lost half so I stop. 2 hours of playing and you won is not bad after all. Just don't be greedy because if you do, you will loss everything eventually in the long run.
