I don't get ..

Germany,
Ontario,
Alberta..

all sooo fail it pains me.

What about male leaders? Are they any better? I don't think so. All the politicians are pretty much the same. We shouldn't expect anything special from the female ones.

hard to choose. realistically speaking, no investment is ever 100% secure. maybe i'll just convert half to gold and half to bitcoin.  Grin

Yeah, everyone would do the same, but those who take risiks win in the end. I'm not talking about anything like gambling here, of course not. I'm talking about the risk to invest your money in Bitcoin which is not as stupid as gambling or investing in ponzi schemes.

The most profitable type of gambling? Are you serious? Cause it sounds like a troll question. I mean to me it sounds like: "What is the best way to commit suicide to start living a healthy life?"

Any type of gambling leads you to losses, and they are all the same in this regard.
11924  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin dropped to $1, what you do? on: April 16, 2016, 07:33:53 AM
Exactly what the title says.

If bitcoin dropped to the price of a dollar (which we hope it never will), what would you do? Buy more and hold, sell? Buy a promising altcoin like ETH?

I personally would buy more bitcoin.

Yep, that's exactly what I would do. Unfortunately ( or fortunately idk) this will never happen. There are a lot of smart people who start buying when Bitcoin drops just a bit and that's why there is no chance Bitcoin will drop below $390 ever.
11925  Economy / Economics / Re: If bitcoin price is $10.000, will fiat be worthless? on: April 15, 2016, 01:45:50 PM
I think that the Bitcoin will never be used aa main currency. Fiat money is backed by governemnts and banks and it's impossible to a decentralised and poorly used digital currency to overcome it. Bitcoin is a great innovation, but not THAT great.

I think Bitcoin is really THAT great innovation, but yes I agree with you, it will never replace fiat completely, maybe in 200 years but not during our lifetime anyway. There are many ways of payment around and all of them can coexist.
11926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ALL IN!!?? on: April 15, 2016, 01:36:23 PM
Ever go all in  Shocked  and have a positive result?

Many times actually, but with very small amounts to be honest. Once I did it seven times in a row winning each time but the whole profit was less than $10. )
11927  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcointalk is a good way to get information about Bitcoins? on: April 15, 2016, 12:54:39 PM
Bitcointalk is very useful in this regard IMO. Even if you can't find the answer to your specific question here you can ask here where to find it and you will be provided with some useful links.
11928  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Putin for President of the United States? on: April 15, 2016, 11:14:32 AM
He certainly seems very promising, sort of like an All Hat AND Plenty of Cattle guy. I think he´s a cowboy at heart,

90% of Russians love their leader.
Every single country in the West despises theirs.

Go figure who's the good guy ...

Missing here, a good old cowboy hat ...






99% of North Koreans love their leader even more, but if he will show up in the United States ... well I think it will be a depressing experience for him. )

If seriously, "love" of the brainwashed people doesn't count.
11929  Economy / Economics / Re: I'm not gonna sell any coin. on: April 15, 2016, 11:08:18 AM
For the time being, I will not sell my bitcoins. If the price rises to $1500 or higher, I will sell some to take profit.

That's a nice decision. Unfortunately I can't afford to myself waitng so long (even if it will be just a year or so). But if you can wait then of course wait,  you'll hve bigger profit for sure.
11930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: April 15, 2016, 11:03:37 AM
I think there are a lot of material in this thread for a book with title "Is their any safe methods to gamble?". Really, someone should do this, just publish the damn book. I will not be suing you for using my words and I'm almost sure no one else will. The world needs this book. )
11931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's stopping people from using bitcoin? on: April 15, 2016, 10:14:33 AM
People are scared of getting into something that is online, people even hesitate in giving their credit card details online so how can we expect that they will start using bitcoin as a currency.

That's a good point. Staying online all time we don't realize that most people live their lives using internet very little or not at all. And we them accept Bitcoin? Of course they won't accept it. I mean right now. But in the future they will.
11932  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you holding your bitcoin for a price increase? on: April 14, 2016, 04:17:47 PM
Some of them I hold and some I spend when I am in need of any emergency, I know this is not the right time to spend but we earning so that we can spend when we need it.

Exactly! I do the same. I know it's better to hold now but if I need money to buy food ar to pay rent I sell some. I would recommend to anybody without need to not sell their BTC, they will cost much more in the future.
11933  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin Mining Documentary Aired in China on: April 14, 2016, 01:28:36 PM
Do they actually have April Fool's in China? Guess they do judging by that or maybe it was for the westerners.

I think they do. As a wise nation they adopted many things from different cultures West included. I may be wrong of course about adoping April Fool's namely but I think we have  a lot of guys from China here and they will correct me.
11934  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: April 14, 2016, 01:22:20 PM

Hoping to get win a big jackpot is not the way to get rich, it's only about luck. Better you do something good like do a business or get a job and get serious on it.

sure lottery it's just for fun, we must not seriously everyday, we must spend some money just for fun, so we can enjoy our life and we can work with full spirit.

But we hit the jackpot in the lottery then we will have more fun in life thats why people always do lottery so that they can have an easy life.

Indeed, some people are still hoping for that 0.00000000000001 (just exaggerating here Grin) chance to hit the jackpot. Some people hit the jackpot though. It's either they are lucky enough or they were destined to hit the jackpot. Nevertheless, these people who buy lottery tickets in a daily basis should think of how much money they should've saved if they didn't start buying lottery from the start.

I heard that you have more chances to get killed in a car accident while waiting for the lottery results than winning a jackpot so maybe you are not exaggerating. )

And want to say to OP: look closer how rich people live and you will think twice whether to become rich or not.
11935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: April 14, 2016, 01:17:28 PM
Gambling is not addicting by itself, it's not that you can't gamble just for fun from time to time without becoming addicted. Greed of those who gamble is making it addicting mostly. Do not be greedy and gambling will not be addicting.
11936  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Illegal things to buy!! on: April 14, 2016, 01:12:46 PM
some of these replies actually hurt my eyes... In order to avoid confusion:

- the blockchain = the technology behind bitcoin, recording all transactions in a public ledger
- blochchain.info = a website that offers services based on the blockchain
While the first is merely a piece of technology, the second is a company. The company can possibly do some data mining if they really wanted to.


- when you buy bitcoins, usually your name, address, paypal account, credit card, id,... or other forms of identifying information are needed. If somebody (FBI, interpol,...) wanted, they could easily find out who bought coins and on which address they were stored.
- when you trade your bitcoins for fiat or for physical services, the same information is needed, and the feds can link your identity to your wallet address.
- if somebody is really dedicated, he can follow the trail of the coins, unless you know how to conceil the coin movements (by using mixing services, coinjoin, exchanges,....)
This means that it doesn't matter if you use a VPN, tor or the computer in your public library, if you don't know what you're doing, somebody can follow the full trail of the bitcoins, from the moment they were mined, to the moment you bought them, to the exact moment where you traded them for dope, to the moment the dopedealer sold them again for fiat.


Luckily, if you're not doing horribly illegal stuff, i'm pretty sure law enforcement has better things to do than to find out who gambled $100 on dice or if you bought $50 worth of weed... I could be mistaking tough Wink

Thank you very much for the the simple and yet very informative explanation. I don't think you are mistaken, but if somebody does it would be interesting to see what is he/she thinking.
11937  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Zika virus 'scarier than initially thought' on: April 13, 2016, 01:36:24 PM
They´re probably trying to breathe life into some drug marketing drive. The thing has seemed dead, needed publicity.

Yep, I agree. IMO that's exactly why they are doing this. Sometimes I think that pharmaceutical companies are among the biggest evils on this planet. Nothing will stop them if they want to make more profit.
11938  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How I Spent my Sunday - Building Racking on: April 13, 2016, 01:23:59 PM
Got my second and third  S7's yesterday  had to figure out where to put them.

So I spent my Sunday building this in my Gym Room - the beginnings of a MicroFarm



Lots of work still to be done on neatening up cabling

------> next Sunday Wink
Hmmmm how do I  embed the image?
https://m.imgur.com/XXSliOQ

Nice set up. Personally I'm glad you shelves are not made from wood and that they are not solid but like grate which is good for cooling.

I agree with comments about all running from one socket though. So maybe you should do something about it.
11939  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to manage money? on: April 13, 2016, 12:56:55 PM
Don't be buried by debt so you can always take a money out of your pocket without worrying that you can not pay your loans if you spend. If you have debt atm, try paying them one by one until they all get paid. After that you can manage your money easily, always try to spend at minimal cost. Most people tend to overeat especially at lunch, and when dinner comes they will realize that they are out of money. Try eating less so you'll spend less and save more money.

The greatest advice here IMO. It's hard to restrain youself from borrowing money but it's worth it - your life is so much happier without debts. I also agree on eating less which is always a good thing.
11940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greatest gambling victory on: April 13, 2016, 12:49:56 PM
I start with 3 btc and I earn 90 btc from that 3 btc. I was happy. Then I felt so sad when I didn't stop and lost 55 more and walk out with  36 btc profit. 

You made a wise decision to stop at that point. I know how it's almost impossible to stop in your situation. Usually people wanting to recover losses lose everything. Good job, grats!
