This guy is a fraud and a criminal. He is bribing corrupt politicians such as John McCain, to get favors for his firm (Space X). He is leeching the American defense and space budgets, by selling his over-priced and low quality rockets. Want to make America great again? Get rid of criminals such as McCain and Elon Musk.

+1

The rockets are over priced maybe because there is only a very small market for it. So SpaceX is forced to sell them at high margins. I do disgaree that they are of low quality. They have recently made their rockets land vertically on ground. I don't think low quality rockets like of Russia can do that. Elon Musk is also planning on sending a man on Mars of which the full details will be released this September. It is doubtful that they will make low quality rockets for the first man on Mars.

I am looking at the order book depth right now and I can say that patience is really required if you are holding rise right now. There are a lot of sellers and not much bidders and there is no buy up activity at the moment. Let's just hope the developers are working hard to achieve the road map ahead and market the platform well in order for start ups to test and start using it.
11823  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STEEM price speculation thread on: July 19, 2016, 07:02:11 AM
this can pretty much replace ethereum, because etheruem is facing that hardfork that may destroy it, and without the shitty pos... so miners can mine forever, unless i'm missing something

but that hack on the website has not done very well to the coin

Do you really think so? Will Steem overtake Ethereum and be no.2 in coinmarketcap and stay there? I think it will take more to it than that. Steem is only a Reddit copy and anyone can do this idea. But I will not close my mind to it because I might regret it later.
11824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your aim in gambling???? on: July 19, 2016, 06:56:47 AM
I very rarely gamble, and I only gamble when I want (usually when bored). I only gamble in small quantities because I did not dare to take the risk is too great. I consider gambling is a game if I am lucky I will win and make a profit, but if I lose it does not matter because I'm quite happy to play gambling. I play gambling such as poker, sports betting, dice.

This is a very healthy attitude towards gambling and it is what supports the gambling economy. I wish there are more people like you because it will keep the games running. But because of the bad economy around the world people have smaller disposable income resulting in those people gambling really small amounts which good, but bad for higher stakes players.
11825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: July 19, 2016, 06:54:02 AM
Yes.  I know they play internet poker.  And they are frequently good at it.  They can be patient, observant, and deceptive.  They learn the rest quickly.


Maybe girls will be more deceptive in a casino. Grin They talk to you like they like to go home with you but they are really taking your money and letting you buy them drinks as bonus. Women will make good gamblers.
11826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: management of risk and money on gambling on: July 19, 2016, 06:52:20 AM
Gambling is just for fun and game to me no more, but even if it is just game and for fun i always apply management of risk and money. And i always play gambling with i can lost it. And i don't play gambling every days.
Do you apply same something what i have doing or you are very can not control your self? Share your opinions at here.

Do not bet more than 1% of your funds for gambling in any one bet. Adjust the amount of your bet always to 1% when you lose a bet because your funds are going lower and lower. But if you win, of course your bets go higher and higher. Also set a stop loss every time you gamble. You do not want to be down 50% in one day.

Steem will on POLO,but Waves....... Cry Cry Cry

Be patient. They are still testing the code of the full nodes. Once everything is in place and in order, trading availability on Poloniex will happen. This is a serious project there is no room for mistakes in  order for stability to happen. Look at what happened with Ethereum. We do not want that.
11828  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ICO LIVE] STRATIS | C# Blockchain Development Platform | ICO ends in 8 days on: July 19, 2016, 06:33:11 AM

I'm sorry to say that 274 bitcoins is not enough for long term development. Please find a plan B on how to get more funds in order to pay for development. What I foresee happening now is there will be a lot of running towards the door among investors to go outside first the minute the coin is available for trading.

Bitcoin is about a year into a scaling debate, without any reasonable solution shipped. Will be a big moment to watch how the two compare.

Big if though....they haven't done it yet. I'd give them an 80% chance of success I think.

If ethereum pulls off this hard fork, very positive signal for them as a team. Shows they can listen to community, execute in time of crisis



This guy is just pretending that everything is fine with the hard fork. How can he be fine with tweaking and tinkering with the transaction history? Is Brian Armstrong a big investor in the DAO?

So much donwward pressure on price the past few days Huh

Yes. I welcome it because I still want to get more NXT for a bargain. Smiley This also shows that no one is really interested in buying NXT at this price even with Ardor coming soon. Maybe it might be better for it to go down for a while so more people will get into NXT and automatically Ardor for the double whammy.
11831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are crypto miners/investors gamblers? on: July 19, 2016, 06:19:40 AM
In general, is the average crypto miners and investors more risk seekers than risk averse. Do you like to gamble, is the thrill of winning worth more than the fear of losing money for you?

I am getting a lot of flak from my wife and friends for investing and mining coins, are you people getting the same objection from family and friends  Cheesy

It's not gambling. You need to have good and wise decision skills to make money out of this. If you are not clever enough, you will not make it. So it is better to cut your losses now while it is cheap. This game is a marathon and it will take a long time to achieve good financial gains. But I have to say there is a little gamble in it just like starting a business.
11832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STEEM price speculation thread on: July 19, 2016, 06:15:16 AM
STEEM is now available for trading in Poloniex. Will we see it continue to rise or will be this be the end of the rise for the time being? I hope we see it rise again.
11833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what card game do you know how to play? and what is ur unforgettable experience. on: July 18, 2016, 09:33:46 AM
I have a question regarding card counting. Does it really work? If the card counters are banned from the casinos because they have the upper hand then can they play online and beat the online casino?
11834  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers on: July 18, 2016, 09:22:50 AM
now  the lisk is the 10th marketcap, a bouce maybe

I expect it to go out of the top 10 before doing a rise back. It's just the way of things with ICOs and cryptocurrencies. They are very very speculative and can go down and bounce back quick.
11835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what is the best altcoin? on: July 18, 2016, 09:20:26 AM
I thought it was ethers before the hack. It was on the way to follow bitcoin and could have reached a 3 billion usd market cap. But now there's no "best" altcoin because no altcoin has proven to be worthy to be called the best.
11836  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Vericoin VRC ICO three days away!! on: July 18, 2016, 09:17:15 AM
they also invented the ETH rollback / hardfork ... what is VRM?

They invented the roll back?? You mean Bitcoin never rolled back?  Also VRC rolled back due to a theft not due to poor code that was exploited.  But all that matters is market cap not facts.

Rolling back due to theft is not a good enough reason to destroy the social contract. It sets a precedent for future thefts.

Having a block chain where you have "do-overs" is no better than using the current federal reserve funny munny system.



I do think so too. Let me ask you a question. What do you think of Ethereum's hard fork? Yes we frown upon it, but do you think it will hinder its success in the future? Will Vitalik be able to say the end justifies the means in the end?
11837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ICO LIVE] STRATIS | C# Blockchain Development Platform | ICO ends in 9 days on: July 18, 2016, 09:11:04 AM
Glad to hear this project will continue if it doesn`t reach 1000BTC



How far can Stratis devs work on the project if the ICO doesn't reach 1000 btc or not even near it? If you need money in the middle of development what is the Stratis team's plan in getting more funds to continue development? Let us not be naive here. If Stratis developers want to be on top it will take years of development.

I would like my question to be answered please. I think it is fair to ask these questions because you are asking for money from the public. So of course we have the right to find out and know if you will do good with the money given to you.
11838  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: July 18, 2016, 09:02:36 AM
The legalities in the cryptosphere is in the gray area at best. The attacker can argue that the exploit he did was all in the rules of the DAO and there that no theft took place. And in the side of Vitalik, they should have done a better job with the security audits. How can you store 150 million dollars worth of ether in the DAO and thinking that no one will try to attack it? That is very incompetent of them.

If there is a fault in any computer code and someone uses it to enrich themselves it is theft.


That is right. For example, your house door is locked, somebody breaks into it, and claims it is legal because your lock is not strong enough.

But the design of the DAO made it allowable for the attacker to transfer ether. He found a loop hole in the smart contract and in doing so the "fault" is not really a fault.

As for the "door is locked" comparison, nothing was unlocked or broken. There was a loophole in the smart contract and the attacker made a transfer of ether.

If you really thought what the attacker did was wrong, what does that make the developers or the DAO?
11839  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers on: July 18, 2016, 08:56:29 AM
I'm as frustrated as you are, but let's be productive about it. There are three things that need to be done ASAP. The next lisk release, getting access to the trust funds and the roadmap. Hold Max and Oliver accountable to these milestones and then move on to the next set. I'll do what I can as an advisor

Don't worry some of us get it and can wait. But it wouldn't hurt as Lisk advisor to advise Max to hurry up. Cheesy

Hehehehe. I'm joking. Anyway can you give us a timeline on when these milestones will be achieved?
11840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: July 18, 2016, 08:52:14 AM
It takes a special kind of person to become a winning gambler. If you want to know if you have that special something to become a good gambler, look in the mirror. If you're married, has kids, has a house, a nice car and a stable job then you don't have that special something. Stay away from gambling because it will surely wreck your life.
