Why to people have to post with caps lock on? It's because they don't understand written communication methods.

Why do people have to scam? Beacause they are lazy or incompetent. I feel that if you have to steal or scam, then you are a failure, and even worse, you have admitted to yourself that you are a failure.

Also because that is the only way that they know to earn money, big money. This people are the most pitiful in all kind of people in this world, because they are risking their names, families, dignity, and sometimes even their profession just for these thing. This people are those who wants shortcut to success, even though there is no shortcut to success. This people are those who only wants to do nothing at all, but they are earning bitcoin, and these type of people is the worst.

They could end up in jail if they scammed a big amount of money, or they scammed someone who is popular and have big name in this world, though they are not considering this things because the only thing that is important to them is that, they don't care about anything as long as they are earning money.
1182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can i do with Bitcoin? on: March 01, 2017, 03:46:25 PM
Recently Bitcoin got allot of investments, people are holding Bitcoin in wallets and expecting huge returns, but also questioning how i can use Bitcoin?
In my opinion most interesting ways to use Bitcon:

1. Travel to Bitcoin City Arhnem in Netherlands
2. Travel To Bitcoin Country Liberland

Also while we keep Bitcoins in our wallets sometimes we want more returns and we are looking where to invest Bitcoin?

Wanting more returns can burn your Bitcoin, because altcoins are copy of Bitcoin and created to scam you, just like high yield investment programs, bitcoin doublers, etc...
The concept of digital currency is created by Satoshi Nakamoto and no matter what revolutionary idea altcoins advertise they will fade away.
Bitcoin have no competitors and any altcoin idea can be implemented in Bitcoin.

Only if you are willing to analyse allot, track the news and know when the dump will come you can profit from these altcoins while they alive.
Because no matter what i will say people will invest in altcoins expecting that someone will rise like Bitcoin and they Become millionaires.
Yes we can become millionaire from altcoins, but keep mind that they will fade away and know when to get out the boat.

Ethereum, Monero, these altcoins had potential to make you millionaire, but not anymore, they will fade away too.
I understand the psychology of investors and how media effects investments and i made a profit from them.
For example with Monero, public information been available when  DeepWeb market "AlphabayMarket" integrate Monero.
Know when altcoin attracts huge investments and invest before.

Other way to use Bitcoin:
Trade stocks and forex with Bitcoin

How do you use your Bitcoin?



What do you mean by How do you use your Bitcoin? , because this could mean two things, its either you are asking on how do I use my bitcoin, literally, or how do I use my bitcoin, on buying stuffs, trading something like that.

So, let's go back to your question on how do I use my bitcoin, or let's just say, where do I use my bitcoin . Well, most of the time, I am just using my bitcoin on buying stuffs online that only accepts bitcoin as a payment, I am not using it on the everyday transactions that I am having, because I am avoiding that as much as possible. My point on not using bitcoin on that is, why use bitcoin if we could use fiat on our expenses everyday, on the stuffs that we are buying in the real world, and using bitcoin for those is not worth it at all.

Bitcoins price is always fluctuating, almost every minutes, and this time, bitcoins price is dancing on a good price, and using it on our daily expenses will just make our profit on holding our bitcoin disappear. so, let's be wise and think first before we spend our bitcoin in to something, just an advice.

1183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? on: February 28, 2017, 02:35:25 PM
If you do your homework right then your expectations will be real. Try to learn as much as you can before using bitcoin.

Correct, because it is more better to know that you have weapons before you go to a war. Naively doing bitcoin without not considering the risk or problems that you are going to face will just lead you to being broke because you have lost all your money because you have been scammed when you are just buying bitcoin in the first place, well it is just an example.

So, to be honest here, as much as possible, before we start doing something like this, I mean starting to do bitcoin, we have to be wise and prepared, for us to avoid this kind of consequences. Smiley

1185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing investment on Gambling sites on: February 25, 2017, 07:53:17 AM
In fact I invested quite a lot in many different casinos and...

And now what I'm really afraid of is to see the owners leaving with the money :/
I didn't think about that at first. Seeinf only the risk of the site losing money
But now I start wondering about this risk too, because if that happens you lose everything :/
We should really take the risk before we do decide to put our money on gambling bankrolls because every investment do really the risk on losing all the money thats why its really important if we do have enough money to invest we should really not put our eggs on a single basket.

Before we do something like this, investing our bitcoin in different gambling sites, in order to "multiply" our bitcoin, we should consider first the risks that we are going to face, like losing our bitcoin instead of multiplying it because just like what you have said, most of them in the end are just taking off like there were no people invested on them.

That is why, investing bitcoin on the gambling sites and to the HYIPs out there is not really recommended. Try to focus on doing signature campaign in order to earn bitcoin in a legit way. In this way, your bitcoin is safe while you are earning some.
1186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transactions confirmation time. on: February 25, 2017, 07:04:16 AM
Recently I've sent $20 for a trade but even after 48 hours its not confirmed yet. Are you guys too facing this issue with bitcoins?

We are all facing the same situation right now. Because of the bitcoins price hit the $1200 per bitcoin, I am sure that many of us converted our bitcoins into fiat and send to our fiat wallet, resulting this many transactions that is being simultaneously being processed in the blockchain, that is why each transactions take some time to be confirmed.

But no worries, since it is only natural because it is not the first time this thing happen to all of us. This problem will be fix as soon as possible because it can't be like this forever, and there's no such thing like forever, so let's just be patience about this and we are going to received the money that we transferred to our fiat wallet and so on.
1187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? on: February 25, 2017, 06:33:45 AM
I would like to know what experiences did you had when you first started with Bitcoins. As for me, I had many that I would like to share with you.

When I began in the Bitcoin world, I was a complete rookie with no proper knowledge of how did mining worked or anything about cryptocurrencies. I just thought about Bitcoin as another payment processor like PayPal. But when I joined the BitcoinTalk community, I learned so many things along the way. In my process of learning in the first days, I decided to invest into cloud mining services. Since I didn't knew much about it, I invested a plenty amount of Bitcoins to start my journey into it. During that time, I had gotten into many different services. Those were GAW Miners, then Cointellect, cloudminr.io and finally Hashnest. After getting scammed many times by the services mentioned previously, (except for Hashnest) I have lost many Bitcoins. As a result, I decided to never invest into cloud mining and thus dedicate myself into learning more about the cryptocurrency and look for other ways to earn Bitcoins. It was then that I enrolled into the signature campaign that I am currently into and during all that time I began to earn Bitcoins as well as diversify my investments into different alt coins. Now I am dedicated to trading Bitcoins and other alt coins, as well as working for it (like the signature campaign and working as a freelancer) in order to earn coins and build up my portfolio along the way.

Anyways, what would be your experiences with this exciting cryptocurrency?  Cheesy

I think we share all the same experience the first time we entered this cryptocurrency world, getting scammed, invested to those HYIP sites though we know that they are not legit and could run-off with our bitcoin any time, and doing faucets even though the earnings there are just little compare to the amount of bitcoin that we are earning right now to the Signature Campaigns here.

It is really good to remember all those things because that what made us like this, having enough knowledge, for us not to be scammed anymore, not doing FAUCETS anymore because we are earning enough bitcoin weekly, and not risking anymore our money to those HYIP sites out there, because we are done on being naïve in this world, we learned how to be strong and independent to survive in this world of cryptocurrency and also in the real world.

1188  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which scalable solution is better? on: February 25, 2017, 06:13:13 AM
Among the different types of methods, to help Bitcoin scale, which one do you think it would be the best for the pioneer cryptocurrency to expand in transaction capacity?

Will it be SegWit, Lightning Network, Sidechains, or increasing block size?

Also, is there any reason why most Chinese pools are against SegWit?

I would like to know your opinion about this.  Smiley

For me, it would be the increasing of the block size and that is the job of Bitcoin unlimited. Since the current block size cannot handle the transaction that we are waiting to be processed and confirmed in the blockchain, Bitcoin unlimited plans to increase the size of it for the faster transactions, so that none of us would get mad anymore because of the delay of our transactions.

And they are making their actions right now about this problem, in order to bring bitcoin network in more convenient for everyone who uses bitcoin, and that goes for the SegWit team also, though, I like Bitcoin unlimited more.
1189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as Main Currency on: February 25, 2017, 05:55:46 AM
I do not see bitcoin being a main currency, because being a main currency means being centralized and control by government.  Bitcoin is fitted being an alternative currency, it is its nature, decentralized and free from any regulatory grasp of the government.



Yes, it is most likely not going to be a main currency but, I was just wondering if you would like it as a main currency.

Only few of us would agree that bitcoin should be the main currency, because making bitcoin to be the main currency is like giving the Government a way to penetrate the core of bitcoin and take control of it, which is we don't want to happen. So, bitcoin should be remain what it is right now, maybe it would be good if bitcoin can be use in any transaction that we are going to have, but it is just a choice, I mean. if we don't have fiat, then we could use it, but never as the main currency.

1190  Economy / Economics / Re: What It Means For Banks When Bitcoin Is Worth More Than Gold? on: February 25, 2017, 05:34:19 AM
We clearly see that someone do not want to see Bitcoin cost more than gold price, when Bitcoin hits 1200$ instantly someone is starting to sell Bitcoin very cheap to control the price.
What it would mean for Banks when Bitcoin will cost more than a gold?

this is nothing new and that is not "someone".
every time price goes up, people who have invested in short term cash out to make profit, then some times there are even manipulations that cause panic sells too and price goes down. it is all done in all the other markets too but in smaller scale, people sell for profit : normal.

and don't worry too much. price is going to be higher very soon.

and to your main question, it means nothing to banks what bitcoin is worth. if people start using it instead of investing in it that is when they start to worry.

I don't know why these people are still using bitcoin, they want bitcoins price to be low, and it doesn't make any sense at all, because most of the bitcoin users are wishing that bitcoins price is always fluctuating on a higher one so that they could a lot of profits from it, but some of them do not want to, then I guess this guys should stop using bitcoin right away and use gold instead.

Because they are not getting any benefits at all if they are selling their bitcoins in a low price if its price got higher, this is insane, because no one would ever do that.

And banks don't care about bitcoin, because they know that they can't touch it, because it is decentralized, even bitcoins price gets high all the time, the banks can do all the time is to watch bitcoin to its way to success.
1191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: price at all time high while utility at all time low on: February 25, 2017, 04:48:47 AM
So, what could be a short-term solutions? Me as a Bitcoin user i'm getting tired of the time. Right now i'm thinking about moving my BTC to an altcoin but i have a fear of a dump, Monero is the real option for me. What about you?

There is nothing to worry about the time of confirmation of the transactions that are getting delay because of the block size that we do have right now. This is already happen before and it will just take time for the team to fix this size problem to handle many transactions than before. Converting your bitcoin to Altcoin just because of this is not a good idea at all, because there is not Altcoin to fiat exchange, only bitcoin to Fiat, and experiencing this kind of situation for all of us doesn't mean we have to panic and get mad about this.

Bitcoin will not vanish just because of this problem, if this is what others are thinking. Let's just give some time for them to fix this thing, after this, we will receive the amount of bitcoin that we have withdraw, even it took a long time, just have patience guys.
1192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not dead yet but should be. on: February 25, 2017, 04:29:16 AM
I just wasted 3 minutes reading that crappy article.  Grin

Quote
Bitcoin Refuses to Just Die Already
Such an ugly title. Content is worthless. Nothing but a deliberate attempt by author to grab attention by intentionally using a sensational title.
It's all just, "according to blah blah blah", "blah blah reported", and then some unnamed "financial experts blah blah blah".

Just another trashy 'news site'.  Shocked

I have already read the OPs post about that article and it is really annoying like those people who keeps on posting the same stuff that bitcoin should die because of "this" and "that" reason, did bitcoin do harm you guys? or do you have any problems about bitcoin? if yes, then why not to stop going on this forum and stop posting nonsense stuff like that. We have already read the same articles like that for a million times, and we're done on it.

Instead of encouraging people that bitcoin should die, why not continue on supporting it, you will gain nothing on giving negative thought about bitcoin, because no one will believes you, bitcoin lovers will just get mad at you with this kind of opinion, so let's just stop this nonsense guys. If we have seen something like this again, let's just ignore it because whoever made that article is just a person which wants a lot of attention.
1193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you cashed-out bonuses from casinos? on: February 24, 2017, 05:59:48 PM
Basically, have you reach the roll over requirement casinos and sportsbooks require to cash-out your bonuses?

So far, I haven't. Since, I think the roll-over requirement is really stupid and requires you a minimum of 40-100 roll-over of your initial deposit or the amount of bonus you are entitled to before you can cash out. Meaning, from a bonus of 10 mBTC, you have to gamble around 1 Bitcoin (a whole bitcoin!) just to cash-out just 10 mBTC worth of bonus.

Can you guys tell me, if anyone has done this?

Have you cashed-out bonuses from casinos?

I already did cash out one time, but only one time, because I have spent about almost 2 bitcoin to have this bonus which is really small compare to the amount that I have spent on gambling, that is why I swear I would never do that again, who cares about this small bonuses if you are going to lose bigger than this, I'd rather to use their free bitcoin to gamble in a certain gambling site rather than to use my bitcoin.

So, your decision OP about this bonuses is right, it is really stupid, you are just going to get 0.1-0.3 bitcoin after you have lost bigger amount of bitcoin than the bonuses, this is ridiculous. Only those addictive gamblers are the ones who are always making their bonus cash-out, I guess.
1194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why i think we should reduce the block size on: February 24, 2017, 05:33:58 PM
I am serious and challenge you to prove (this means i want to see some proof not speculation) me wrong. Bitcoin price is at an ATH, so are unconfirmed Transactions and the fees. Everybody is talking about scaling up while the number suggest we should scale down. Nobody uses Bitcoin as a currency to buy stuff, everybody is holding and in for a profit, so the fees do not matter. Let us maximize the profit by setting the blocksize to 0.5 MB.

The current block size is bigger than 0.5 MB, but still it is not enough to handle many transactions, resulting the delay of many transactions in the blockchain that are not yet confirmed. So, reducing it to 0.5 MB would just make the situation worst than the situation we are having right now. You may be right that nobody uses bitcoin to buy stuffs most of the time but we are still using to pay services that we are having here in the virtual world.

So, it is really not good idea to reduce the blockchain in to a smaller size than its size right now, I think you are being so selfish about making profits on bitcoin, that is why you came up to this point where it doesn't make any sense. You are not the only one who is using the bitcoin, so it is not possible to happen what you are thinking.
1195  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as Main Currency on: February 24, 2017, 05:08:49 PM
I wouldn't. Let Bitcoin be what it is: a decentralized cryptocurrency that is anonymous and safe for everyone who seeks privacy. Governments would only want to secure it for themselves and seek for everyone's identity that is using Bitcoin. That's not what we want.

Yes, I agree with you with this, because for me, it is not necessary for bitcoin to use as the main currency in America or in any countries around the world, maybe I would agree if the Government would allow bitcoin to be used in any transaction that we will do but never as the main currency, because if this is going to happen, just like what you have said, Government would just going to secure it and the worst is they are going to take control of the bitcoin network so that they can do whatever they want on our bitcoin just like what they are doing on our money.

In this way, they could easily steal our bitcoin or scam us, especially since bitcoin is more valuable than fiat because of its price, then those greedy politician will agree for bitcoin to be the main currency, for them to have a lot of money from it.
1196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The BitCoin Cause on: February 24, 2017, 04:29:55 PM
So I saw many threads on will bitcoin be used by common people or when it will be used by all over the world and for buying groceries etc.
But I wonder, was bitcoin actually meant to be used like that? What was the actual cause for creating bitcoin? And for whom it was meant to be?
Any facts or thoughts?

Bitcoin was made to be used by people here online as a virtual money, without being manipulated by the Government since they are stealing our money, I mean some of them are stealing our money secretly, so that is why bitcoin was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. Making the bitcoin as a decentralized coin and everyone can use it, is one of the great reason why we love using it.

And since bitcoin is already popular all over the world, we, all the bitcoin users are just waiting for the Government to accept this coin as a payment for every transaction that we are going to make in our everyday living, though in my opinion, it would not worth it if we are going to use bitcoin on our daily basis, because bitcoins price is always fluctuating and nowadays it never gets low on $1000.

So my point is, if we are going to use it everyday, we are like wasting the profit that we could earn out of it every time that its price would go up higher than its price before, so, it would be wise if we are going to convert it in fiat first in order to not lose any profit that we could have on bitcoin.
1197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: payment bitcoin on: February 24, 2017, 03:52:46 PM
Hello, I sent a payment to a Bitcoin address, but since they are a bit 'of experience, I can not see where you finished the payment, I am here hoping to find the answers, I have the receipt issued by coinbase, where I l 'address and the amount paid,:
Paid anonymously through the bitcoin network
so .not to understand that this money has come? thanks for any help, I need to understand

It is a little confusing because of your grammar, so, you already have the receipt, meaning it was already send to someone, to whomever you sent your bitcoin on a certain purpose, but, if you really want to know if the payment that you have processed was a successful one, it would be better if you are going to ask it to the person where you have sent your bitcoin, but if it is not a person, let's say that it is an investment site and you have deposited the money by sending your bitcoin in their bitcoin address, then you could just simply log in on your account on their Investment site, and see if the amount of money that you have invested are already their.

But usually, it would take some time for your transaction to be confirmed in the blockchain, depends on how many transaction are being processing there, the more that transactions that blockchain have, the more time it will take for a transaction to get confirmed, so all you need is to wait, for about 30-60 minutes, the longest should be a day.
1198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I failed to make a fortune as an early bitcoin adopter? on: February 24, 2017, 03:24:05 PM
Let me quote a few snippets from the article:

"It’s all about me being too greedy."

"I failed not for lacking skills, but for my thoughts."


Pretty much sums up what OP's mistakes were, but don't worry, you only fail when you stop trying. Get back up. I'm an early adopter too, but I'm not a millionaire.

Indeed, because everyone of us have different fortune in life, being an early adopter of bitcoin doesn't mean that you are going to be reach, because just like what I've said, we do have different fortune. If someone, an early bitcoin adopter, is a millionaire right now, and you are envying him, or insecure or whatever you are feeling towards that person, it is wrong, because instead of getting envy because that certain person is a millionaire right now, we should idolize him, ask a piece of advice that will helps us to be someone like them in the future.

Who knows, maybe next year OP would become a millionaire because he have learned from his mistakes and change the way he use bitcoins, we just have to wait for the right time, because God have plans to each of us, and He knows when He is going to give it to us. Smiley
1199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in Asia on: February 24, 2017, 03:03:53 PM
Bitcoin is accepted everywhere in the world especially Asia: China,Japan, South Korea, India etc. Bitcoin is big and keeps expanding by the day so just check localbitcoin website for merchants and exchanges closer to your location in Asia.

Well, I am afraid to say this, but you are wrong. Bitcoin is not accepted anywhere, but yes, it is acceptable in Asia, but not in every countries around the world. There are some countries that banned bitcoin because the misuse of it, and people abusing its advantages, like using it in illegal, buying different kind of drugs online, making illegal businesses, buying guns, and so on.

But I think this kind of deeds hasn't done yet by anyone that is why bitcoin is still legal in ASIA, here is the link for the top 10 countries which they banned bitcoin due to their Government reasons.

1200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have stopped introducing bitcoin to others! on: February 24, 2017, 02:31:34 PM
Bitcoin shouldn't be explained as an investment, it's not the best way to do it. There is an ideology behind bitcoin and that should be the primary reasons to give and to make people understand. Bitcoin has advantages that currencies don't have. The fact about investment in Bitcoin can be done with basically any cuurency. If people start to use Bitcoin as an inventment and they lose money (because the price decrase or whatever reason) then they will get a bad image about bitcoin and will start yelling bitcoin is shit, as soon someone ask them about it

Indeed, if we are going to tell people that bitcoin is an Investment, though it is not, but maybe yes, in some way, but it is really not an investment at all. Some of us just have called it an Investment because they are trading bitcoin as their business or way to earn bitcoin, and they have invested their money to bitcoin as the capital to earn profits out of it. But, if this is the knowledge that people will think what bitcoin really is, then definitely they won't do it, because why they would invest their money to bitcoin and pay such fees every transaction, while they could do the usual thing they do, withdraw their money using their ATM cards without any fees, and also they will not take the risk, and just turn on doing bitcoin just to invest their money.

But, if we are going to introduce to them that bitcoin is the way they think it is, then probably they will change their minds and do it instead of rejecting the idea of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a source of income and we could earn money or bigger profits out of it than earning some fiats, so, if we are just going to introduce it to them correctly, then I guess there is no reason for us anymore to stop introducing bitcoin to others.
