121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs Ethereum on: October 02, 2017, 07:13:05 AM
If you compare the two main cryptocurrency, namely Bitcoin and Ethereum, which one has the most promising future?
In terms of evolution, Bitcoin reached a maximum of roughly 4800$, whereas Ethereum reached roughly 394$: in other words, it is a potential increase of 33 % for Ethereum, but only 24% for Bitcoin.

ETH AND BTC is one of my primary investments and when in terms of BTC i think bitcoin will be the frontline of cryptocurrency because of its undeniably good security and potential this last 8 years. Eth on the other hand is backed up by big companies but In my opinion, think it can't still beat BTC when in terms to price. There are much more better currencies here that is better than ETH like Zcash or lightcoin, ethereum platform is just good but in terms of security there are claims that their ETH WALLET is being hacked. Lets just see in the incoming years.

I can see that people nowadays are busy searching on money and everything depends on money. People nowadays never go to church just because they would rather earn money rather than praise God. Others do not pay respect to elders  because they earn money for them or richer than them. Well for you, is money above all things ?

It can be a reason why people are driving through almost everything. Wealth and money. But as we grow we will realize that money is not everything and it should not be put above ourselves or other things. Relationship, family, and true friends are priceless and much more valuable than any wealth specially in a group or team that is having a business. Money can drive us nuts and can bring us also in the wrong way. Its not just all about earning, sometimes it is about how you contribute to someone or something and how you live your life to the fullest. For example this line :

Someone gives you $1 billion to burn and you wouldn't,
but someone has already given all their trust to you and you just wasted it. Which do you value more? Can you not be bought for the right price?

Of course, no. It's not a good idea. The best way to save and increase your money is to invest it in different projects or coins. Bitcoin is the great coin, but not single.

True. Always have a counterpart or an alternative. Even millionaires is not putting all their business into one big thing, because what is something goes wrong? Always have at least 5 sources of income. If the other one didn't work well or had a problem borrow money from the other one and so on. you'll be drowning if you only have one business and you can't sustain when there is an emergency if you will be putting all your money into BTC. Make a set point of at least. %0 percent of your saving from your monthly salary will go to crypto.
124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What impresses you the most about Bitcoin? on: October 01, 2017, 06:25:51 PM
The reason bitcoin is still standing in this ever changing world is enough for me to be impressed. Actually technology is changing every 12 months because of the moore's law and bitcoin is advanced enough for the moore's law. From cents to a 4000 dollar mark it means that bitcoin earned so much trust in these past few years that is hard to because people these days because of information age is hard to trust some things or even people but bitcoin manage to do that especially in terms of wealth. Also i'm impress about bitcoin becauseit has the capabilities to shut off all of government reason for their current system of transactions and  he proved it in a technical way.
125  Economy / Economics / Re: Like it or not Bitcoin is Gold 2.0 on: October 01, 2017, 12:48:50 AM
There are many comparisons made between bitcoin and gold.

Another comparison people might want to look into is stone money.



People in some societies carve huge stone coins out of rock to represent their own brand of fiat. The immense quantity of work this process entails is similar to crypto mining processes which can be energy intensive.

The supply of rock coins being limited in terms of production provides a similar function to the number of crypto coins produced being limited by code.

There might definitely be some parallels there.

To be frankly I've never heard of the stone money before, Is it still being used nowadays?
Hmmm In my opinion the gold and other metals are in the physical world and of course its characteristics (e.g malleability ) is the one that gave them the value while bitcoin on the other hand is in the spectrum space and being mined by solving complex mathematical computation. They have similarity but I don't want to label crypto to gold or silver, they are on two different world. The present technology and society need crypto as a currency because of lots of benefits and the technology it holds and gold holds the material value in the physical world that is being admired and used in the industry that bitcoin can't be done but crypto is better when being used as a medium of exchange.

Sa bawat campaign na nakikita ko kanina lang ny nakalagay blacklist ano po yun? Anong meron sa listahan na yun?
Yun po ba yung listahan ng mga tao na my masamang ginagawa ?

Karaniwan kaya blacklisted eh kase hindi nila sinunod yung rules nung campaign at ibig sabihin ay tanggal na sila sa campaign at hindi na nila makukuha ang allocated sa kanila na stakes. Iaanounce naman ang developer o manager yan kung bakit sila nag blacklist.
Halimbawa nag dalawang account ka sa isang campaign, at ang rules ay bawal mag multi account ayun, blacklisted ka.

Less then 48 hours left until ICO PrivateersLife ends! If you are not bought LDM tokens - you may do it now and get 10000 LDM for 1 ETH!
Contract number only: 0x28a40acF39b1D3C932f42dD8068ad00A5Ad6448F
https://privateers.life/ico




Wow. by far, ito palang ang nakikita ko na MMO game backed with blockchain na may matinding graphics.
Mukhang maraming efforts ang binigay ng devs para sa project na'to.
Tanong ko lang, aside from getting bonus in game kapag sumali sa ICO.
Ano pa magiging silbi ng LDM currency?
Can it also be used in-game? pambili ng mga items etc.?
Also, will it be tradable on major exchanges too?


Kitang kita naman natin ang effort ng developer jan par. Biruin mong pati local threads pinoposts nila yung talagang posts nila. At kung titingnan parang kaseng tindi ng hashrush sa graphics na alam naman nating matindi ang developer ng hashrush. Sana ang privateers ay ganito pa din ngayong natpos na ang camapaign nila ng campaign para naman worth it lahat, wag tumalad sa ibang ICO na wala na masyadong update pagdating ng nagtagumpay ang ICO.
Tupdin ang timeline at iimprove pa ang laro.  Wink

What are the reasons, why people use Cash or Credit Cards / ATM / Banks?

Look at the benefits of bitcoin.

* Works online 100%, 100%transparent for private and commercial use. Total control of private or public money for it's holder or holders, investors, governments etc.
* As It's works online there no need of expensive steel safes or bank deposits to keep your money safe. Any password or time code can be used.
* No fees. Unlike cash, hasn't 2%-3% of inflation every single year.
* Accepted for Food Shopping & Micro payments via electronic card.
* 0 confermations time, with introduction of "instant pay" function.
* 0 exchange risks in use of proper securities and competent insurance.
* any entrepreneurs is able to understanding of the value of payment.
* No need for pay terminal for small businesses. For small entrepreneurs it's a high expense of 70 bucks every month.
* Theoretically it's would not be needed to have an expensive licensed cash register, for small entrepreneurs, as every transaction is totally transparent. So cases of black money flow would be easily found and proven.
* Banking and gambling. No need of any verification for CFD,Stock,Currency or gambling services.



Remember this line?

Reiterating my belief about $BTC. It's the ultimate insurance policy against autocracy, currency curbs and other forms of value destruction.

and this ?

“genie is out of the bottle”, and that “now the real question is how can we productively use it to solve some of society’s issues around the financial services infrastructure.”
by Chamath Palihapitiya

Plain and simple. The technology is there and some are just afraid of accepting it because they might lose all their wealth or it might rewrite all the previous system. No one is stopping it because we cant deny the facr that it is the best form of medium of transaction that is existing and it might take a hundred of years before it can be replaced again. This is not a question of why bitcoin is better than cash. Sometimes this is about why are we still using cash if we have the crypto?
129  Economy / Economics / Re: Maybe governments can stop bitcoin after all on: September 29, 2017, 03:21:06 AM
If I ask you seem to have a hard time getting the government to stop the bitcoins. Especially now it's a solid one. And many people remain faithful to it. And the only possible thing to do to get it totally illegal is if it's something wrong do. We can do the example is the Fall of the banks. And if this happens they'll probably stop. But it still can not be terminated.


I think its not our fault why the banks will fall because of cryptocurrencies or bitcoin. They have held our money long enough and pushed us to the edge. I can't even call my money mine because it's their possession. The very paper and layers of it are all government property. And they are just afraid because these "crypto will replaced them". And yes they have the power to ban it and exterminate it but this is clear, the system is twisted and unfair. We are being patience long enough, let's pushed this technology together and see be a one decentralized system.

Your tokens are not tied to anything. At such moments, you are. I'll buy your tokens and what's next. In such projects, you think why they need money at all.

It's hard to digest the informations in this project ( i can't still figure it out). I hope that governments and agencies will use such system in elections in order to avoid cheatings. Blockchain in voting systems are terrifying to those candidates who want to cheat.

So much for Artificial intelligence industry for today but this is really the next milestone of technology. I remember Alan Turing, one of the great minds of Britain in the war, forgotten and later recieve much recognition. And yes there are plenty of rooms ahead, what lies in the AI world is still unknown because this will be unpredictable. I will watched how these platforms based on AI nowadays will turn out.
Good luck.

Do you still do business kahit madami ka ng coins?
Multi millionaire ka na dahil sa value ng coins mo.
Do u think kailangan mo pa bang magbusiness?

Sa ngayon pinagpaplanuhan pa lang, maganda kase talaga kung ikaw ang CEO para hindi ganun kahassle yung trabaho. Pagkase umedad ka eh mahirap na kaya talagang habang bata pa eh magkaroon na ng negosyo na magbibigay sa iyo ng positibong balik ng pera araw araw.
restaurant at medium size grocery store ang pinagiispan ko kase nagugutom naman ang tao araw araw. mEdyo mahirap lang talagang humanap ng pwesto na maganda at magsimula.
Pero oo, talagang kailangang magbusiness at medyo mahabang proseo ng paglago ito kaya habang bata eh simulan na.
134  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: one or two coin huge pump or dump every day on: September 22, 2017, 03:08:33 AM
hi guys, so i noticed that every day there are alway 1 or 2 coin that get huge pump or dump long time ago, im sure you too.

but in my mine right now is how to find what coin will next coin will get that huge pump, seems i cant figure that out.

any suggestion how ?
and what your opinion about that huge pump and dump ?

It's not just one or two coins. Almost every coins are pumping and dumping in the 24 hour period and because we won't know the decisions of people, its impossible to predict what's lies ahead. Even trading experts will have a hard time (Im not sure about the AI trader bot).
Because of the new implementations of different countries to exchangers and price corrections. PEople don't know if they will dump their coin or hold it and the market is being chaotic since the China Ban. I think whats best to do is hold he promising coins and observe the market of altcoins. Focus on what you can learn on the market today. this times are the best times to learn and as for me, I'm holding all my BTC.
135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should we risk mining bitcoins ? on: September 12, 2017, 12:11:25 PM
I think we can calculate how much we get with the hardware we have. While you have good hardware and it produces well, I think it remains an advantage.
Mining gives huge profit as far as the electric bill is under control and the processors used have really a good speed. In order to handle large number of transactions, speed and processing power are required greatly. I think it is worth trying and a better way to earn bitcoins than Signature Campaign.

Some multi-million companies are pushing the mining of BTc, that means it will be worth it but due to the difficulty of mining these crypto, only some large budget whale can provide such rig and I think consumer grades individual should mine altcoins instead of BTc to be more profitable.
And yes we can earn BTC in some alternative ways. Mining it would be worth it but this will take a huge amount of money and effort.

137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does China have a large part in the world of cryptocurrency? on: September 07, 2017, 08:39:51 AM
A few days ago China just announced that their government banned all ICO activities, and instantly the bitcoin price went down. how do you think about this?

China is an obvious main player in crypto, with Bitmain having a basically mining monopoly and a ton of other miners ending up on China due the cheap electricity and cheap labour essentially.

This is nothing but more FUD and more insider trading. Look at the PBOC incidents last summer. They were able to dump the market, and the market recovered and we went to an ATH. This is the same all once again. Weak hands will get shaken, strong hands will hold, insider traders will get a ton of BTC from the panic sellers. The same cycle always repeats on all markets.

They are playing a large role in the industry of cryptocurrencies (not just in cryptocurrency but also in the gadgets and gizmos and real products). Just imagine a population of roughly 1.3 billion. Ang true perfect place to mine because the climate is not that hot in the upper China and the electricity are cheap because they are relying on the alternative sources of energy. Because of the market share and the support that they are giving in mining and investments china is the main player here. (But Im hoping that russia will soon make crypto a legit currency)
138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Bounty campaigns and airdrop? on: September 07, 2017, 08:11:55 AM
what about profiti ? which one is better or less risky ?
Better is bounty campaigns but if you want less risky, join in airdrop is the best. You almost don't need to do anything while claimed airdrop (you only need to provide your wallet address).

To be simple here:
bounty requires some terms and conditions and you need to do the rules of the bounty program in order to earn white in the airdrop, mainly the only requirements  are drop PM and signup from the network or Drop adress.
Bounty of course is less risky because almost all have escrows and the funds are being returned if not successful and the coins in bouty are most likely to be on the exchangers.
Airdrop on the other hand is a one way work and then wait for the drops of coins later but sometimes emails are being hacked just by signing up and mostly, they are unlikely to be on the exchangers.

*** The ICO regulation that happens currently in China should be a good thing for cryptocurrency like LivesToken(LVT) in the long run. Get rid of the bad cryptos and the good ones' value will raise. Our ultimate goal is to make the best product (Browser and other related Internet products) for our users and LVT is only a medium to stimulate them for using. We sincerely believe that the core value of the token will always be the quality of the product, and that's what keeps us improving and transforming for more than a decade.

Ive scanned/read you whitepaper. It offers fair competition for businesses and it want to regain the trust and loyalty of the user to the companies. A very good idea in this industry that depends on advertisements. Im hoping that the Bounty campaign will start soon.
140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gamblers here who are in Debt ? on: September 05, 2017, 03:29:23 PM
Whenever i remember my bad times i remember those peoples also who lost their everything in this gambling addiction. i want to know what you think about such peoples and how they need to survive after so much losses in their life.
I personally knows some people who are in big debt and they even cant recover that debt and tries to commit suicide every time . so guys can you tell me whats the best solution for them regain their happiness in their life ?

This thread is only for those peoples opinion who faced such situations and recovered or atleast know how to tackle such situations in easy way ( btw i know its not easy )

I'm not in that state but I know some people who lost everything in gambling addiction even their own life. One of the best example is what happened in the Philippines : http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2017/06/03/resorts-world-manila-timeline.html

Maybe they can't cope up with their sadness that's why they have made something like that but it's a reminder for all of us that like drugs the gambling industry is a pretty dangerous are, without self discipline and control you might one of the people who will go nuts and just go stealing and killing other people just to survive.
Last year when Ive lost almost 3000 dollars due to sports betting and have some issues financially I've realized that there are much more important than your own addiction like family. If you realized that your love ones and your life is at stake then maybe you can have some courage to control your addiction not just in gambling.
