I have kept buying on hold now, will wait for price drop, as today's price is very bigger for me, may be it will come down in next couple of days.

I wouldn't count on that happening in the future. The price of Bitcoin might stay as it is now or go slightly higher but not in the other direction. $500 for 1 BTC is a pretty fair price for today.
11722  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: May 27, 2016, 01:58:31 PM
It is really hard to say how much you need to retire in 20 years and that is because the value of the Bitcoin is always changing and that is risky for the most people.
Because some people dont even know what they have to do with the Bitcoin so they are also making some mistakes.

We cannot afford to think of that long, as we don't know how long is the life of bitcoin, and whether it will be alive after next 20 years or not.

Yes but you can that say about any prediction. If you think of it long enough it becomes a philosophical question, but still we can make some predictions just for the fun of it IMO. So my prediction is around 100 BTC will be more than enough to retire in 20 years if you are not going to live a life of a billionaire of course.
11723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 27, 2016, 01:48:51 PM
gambling is so addicting because it is a easy way for people to try and make some fast money. Playing games and being able to win money sounds like music to some peoples ears and they just keep going.
Very nice parable, gambling like music that makes us sleep in the arms of the music.
Gambling will never let you sleep because by doing it you are thrilled feeling mixed emotions and even if you won you don't want to go to sleep because you want some more actions, you can only sleep when you have no money to gamble.

To me gambling is like an ocean during a very hot day: you want to go in for a while and that's ok, but if you are in too much you might get cold or even be eaten by sharks.
11724  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bank or Bitcoin Wallet? on: May 27, 2016, 08:36:13 AM
Most of us have both. Unfortunately we can't have only Bitcoin Wallet to serve all our needs nowadays. I know some people are having fun trying to live using a Bitcoin Wallet only and I also know that some of them succeed but if you have a family to care about that's impossible now.
11725  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Drugs fuck you up, man on: May 27, 2016, 08:30:44 AM
People who using drugs is have no fun and have no sens to live in normal state so they are trying to change the world around them using drugs, not so good anyway.

You are right in a way but what about the legal drugs which millions of people use everyday? That's a shame most people think they are harmless just because they are legal.
11726  Economy / Economics / Re: Why gold price going down? on: May 27, 2016, 08:14:08 AM
Why is gold price falling now, even when bitcoin price going up?


I want to know that.

The price of gold is going down because gold was overpriced a lot and more and more people start to realize that. Bitcoin on the other hand was underestimated by many and now we can see that the price of it is going up slowly but steadily.

P.S. I was nicely surprized today seeing 474,8 )
11727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: May 27, 2016, 08:06:52 AM
For some people there is no way to gamble in a smart way because they are addicts and they wouldn't stop until they lose evrything. But for the other part there is a way:

1. Gamble only with fraction of the money you can afford to lose.

2. Don't gamble more than 1 hour per day because time is also a valuable thing.
11728  Other / Off-topic / Re: Steady Way To earn Bitcoin Online... on: May 27, 2016, 08:01:47 AM
I've voted Other because I don't know how to trade cryptos though I think it might be profitable sometimes. What amazes me is Gambling among the options. Are you even serious? Do you think gambling might make you rich?
11729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now PayPal is getting a patent on Bitcoin stuff on: May 26, 2016, 06:01:59 PM
it's only a matter of time. Paypal will accept bitcoin sooner or later.
Hope that stop with topics like "Bitcoin vs Paypal".

Yep, looks like it's inevitable now and that's a great news. I think Bitcoin will rise dramatically if that will happen. And I hope with all my heart that it's really only a matter of time.
11730  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: May 26, 2016, 09:24:24 AM
I had more faith in gold before bitcoin came into existence but after I started to know bitcoin my all money goes into it as an investment.

I think you are doing just right and you will not regret it. I know it's hard for most people to grasp the idea that something which is not even physical can be more valuable than gold but if they only try they would be in profit.
11731  Economy / Gambling / Re: Faucet based gambling sites. on: May 26, 2016, 09:17:09 AM
What do you mean by faucet based gambling sites ? Most of the websites have faucets for trying out games.If you're a faucet sucker ,let me tell you ,sooner or later your ip will be banned.Faucets are just there ,not to make anyone rich.If you're thinking you can collect dust from couple of website's faucets ,the idea is bad because there is a time delay and IP ban.

I agree with you, before I went to the freebico.in and collected more than 800 satoshis per hour and joined to go play in own site freebitco.in, but I was shocked when I saw a forum that people had 15 accounts in freebitco.in and who used bots to participate in the game ... I was angry because now receive 0.00000445 BTC per hour.

If the person only would create an account on the site would not freebico.in reduced from 0.00000890 BTC I collected per hour for 0.00000445 BTC por hour.

We must have conscience and not cheat the system because it harms others. Now for me to play in primedice I have to take a long time to collect satoshis the taps which forces me to invest satoshis of my pocket.

I don't know what you are talking about. freebico.in is giving you only 0.00000263 BTC per hour right now and it is like this several months already. It used to be a great site where you could get even $0.2 from time to time but it's not any more.
11732  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: May 26, 2016, 09:11:17 AM
When the Fed increases the interest rate next months, it will cause financial crisis. The bitcoin price will rise.

Well most of us expected it when the crises started, then with greece and now there is the fed. There will always be a reason for bitcoin to shine, but will it happen? I don't think so. The rise will happen steadily as more and more people find their ways towards bitcoin.

I agree. Economical crisis is not something we should wait for to benefit from IMO. Let's hope everything will be okey more or less and Bitcoin will find its way to rise anyway.
11733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ALL IN!!?? on: May 26, 2016, 09:07:43 AM
Ever go all in  Shocked  and have a positive result?

Once I went all in and I won a lot. Later I did it again and lost Sad Never go all in !

That's a typical situation in gambling. I've done it many times. At first you win, then you win more and then you lose all. The only way to avoid big harmful losses is to not gamble with the money which are big for you.
11734  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to motivate women to use Bitcoin? on: May 26, 2016, 09:02:54 AM
The best way to motivate women to use bitcoin is to make it easier to use; make simple and secure wallets, connected to debit cards with low fees.
I think making bitcoin more accessible can be a good way not only for women (they just want a place to put their money and a way to spend them everywere  Grin)

This would be a good motivation not only for women but for men also. ) Considering the fact that many women think like men and many men think like women any type of the motivation would be good for Bitcoin.
11735  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Drugs fuck you up, man on: May 26, 2016, 08:41:51 AM
So for this politics topic I wanted to talk specifically about the harmful effects of illegal drugs and how the forum's users' cities' drug problem are. I will start off by saying that I have cerebral palsy and some mental health issues and to any casual observer, I may be a user of crack cocaine. This is not the case however; I have schizo-effective disorder. I do embarrass myself in public from time to time but I am doing my best.

Is there a rampant drug use problem in your city? In Vancouver, it seems everyone is on something. Soiled cloths, staggering. People love their drugs. To top it all off the drunks assault the alleged drug addicts. (I got assaulted by some douche keeping his neighborhood safe. Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss.

How's the drug problem in your city?

Fortunately where I live there is almost no drug problem at all. Yes, you can spot a druggie once or twice per month but that's not a problem IMO.
11736  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: May 26, 2016, 08:22:38 AM
You should never invest money which you might need for buying food or paying your bills but if you have spare money I recommend to invest all of them in Bitcoin now because the price right now is 10-15% lower than it will be several months later.
11737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: LUCK!!! :) How does it feels? on: May 26, 2016, 08:14:08 AM
The best luck I've had on a gambling site was once on my birthday couple of years ago on PrimeDice. I was betting at 0.01% winning chance manually and I hit 99.99 just after 23 bets. The base bet was too small so I won only several dollars but it was a good birthday present for me. )
11738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin Multipliers - Are any legitimate? on: May 26, 2016, 08:06:48 AM
Being a newbie to Cryptocurrency, I have noticed many adverts claiming to increase your BitCoins a hundredfold in 24 hours etc.

They seem to good to be true, are there any legitimate ones or are they just scams.

Yes, you are right saying "They seem to good to be true". But beware of the smart ones also who offers you "just double" your money in say one month. They are also scams but many people fall for it 'cause they look kind of trustworthy comparing to "hundredfold" ones.
11739  Economy / Gambling / Re: Faucet based gambling sites. on: May 25, 2016, 09:43:55 AM
There are a lot of gambling sites which have faucets but on many of them the amount from the faucet is too small.

I use from time to time this site

https://fastdice.com/home.php

because they have 1k sats faucet which can be claimed every 3 minutes, and sometimes the faucet gives even more.
11740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: May 25, 2016, 09:38:52 AM
There has been some million transactions on the blockchain in all of history, we know that many people do hundreds or even thousands of transactions and some websites will do hundreds of transactions per day, so it seems fairly impossible that there is even 2 million users. Maybe a little less.

Bitcoin process about million transactions every week currently. I think there are up to 1 million users who use Bitcoin regularly, and definitively well over 10 millions who tried Bitcoin at least once or just bought and holding coins - blockchain.info alone has about this number of accounts.

These numbers look close to what I think too. Although the number of accounts on blockchain.info doesn't give us the exact number of users, we can have an idea about it looking there. So I think the number of users is from 1 to 2 million.
