I occasionally spend my coins so I picked Yes in the voting list. Usually I save my coins for pumps and convert to cash when that happens. Then buy back low and spend my earned money to live.
So you are a trader in short say, most of the people are also doing that but there are still many people who tend to spend their bitcoins that treating it as an investment, gamblers do spend most of the time and I am one of them because I want to gamble regularly.
12022  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: August 31, 2016, 03:03:08 AM
I do not gamble to much but it always seems that when I do, I take the loss big time.  For example, I have lost over 3 BTC in the BustaBit game online.  It is fun and I like to play but I always get greedy with it.  I have won about 2.2 BTC back, but I lost more than what I have won.  For some odd reason, I keep coming back over and over.  I do not know why I do it, why do you?

Becaue I was pulled by curiosity that makes me back again and again.
Curious of Winning.
You will be coming back more often especially when you are new because base on experience we always make a new technique every time we try our old technique but it does not work, human instinct is that we will not easily give up and we will only give up when we ran out of money.
12023  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: August 31, 2016, 02:57:21 AM
You need to work hard, you should love your work and use your free time for work too, after hard work you will get your easy money.

Yeah, that is a good idea by working hard we can earn higher income and with that we will be able to save more money and so with our savings we will be able to start our own business and we will be able to get some large amount of money and we will be rich.
It will not only by working you will get rich, the shortcut to becoming rich is to get our from employment, have your won business manage so you will decide on what to do and if you are good in managing your business you will definitely earn a good amount of money. Also, you can do investment or trading at the same time, you do not need to focus working with a little pay.
12024  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: August 31, 2016, 02:50:03 AM
I definitely would! Earning bitcoin as salary would be a great step ahead because, with the continuous fluctuations of bitcoin, both sides will get more money overall.

If you don't use your earning in bitcoin in real life then it's just fine if you want it that way and keep your bitcoins.. But if you are using your salary to buy your foods and pay your debts and bills, that would be an inconvenient..

Not mentioning if you have someone who depends on you like your children or your wife.
Unless you are alone, you are prepared to face every risk your life takes.
No, if you have a family you would prefer not to risk your income, when you have a job so you would prefer to receive it in fiat rather than in BTC because you do not want to lose the value of your money when the economy is not good, you cannot gamble with your family needs.
12025  Other / Off-topic / Re: Are you buying bitcoins? Why? on: August 31, 2016, 02:15:10 AM
I don't know it they will be worth much more soon, as some people say. But given the current economic scenario, it is good to have some.


It is really good time to buy bitcoins today as the price is still at low value then take the advantage to buy now. Because if you are going to wait for the price of bitcoin to fall, then that is not going to happen anymore. As there are a lot of companies that are going to adopt bitcoins soon for sure it is going to make the price of bitcoin higher.
Yeah, you are right, we should see this as an opportunity because many will be doing some kind of panic selling so since we are intelligent investor we need to buy those cheap bitcoins so we can get more benefit in profit in the coming future.

12027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: August 31, 2016, 01:48:23 AM
The most gambler problem is they always greedy when they win and can't control them self on gambling. That gambler become addicted and want win more, and it's become a problem.
it became a big problem because addiction can turn your life to a big messed losing everything and even to go all in and sell everything you have.
Our problem starts with the money because we are too greedy and we use our greediness in gambling where in fact we have no chance to be rich unless we are too lucky, gambling should be treated as a entertainment so you will have no problem in the future.
12028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: August 31, 2016, 01:42:10 AM
I just made +363.8% profit yesterday, i feel like i can be rich anyday now!

my luck is huge these days! but i have a good strategy too!
Wow! That's great to hear from your friend, what type of gambling you are into? Are you betting in sports, if so please share your method here because I am also betting on the same game, I love sports so I think that would be a help if you were able to share.
12029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: August 30, 2016, 07:37:14 AM
You need someone that will help you losing the addicting. Or get into sports,not sports betting.
Someone that controls you and keep you away from the gambling websites.
Block yourself from accessing this websites.
you are right, there are professionals who help with that in my opinion, and you might need to seek their help then as i doubt there are any other ways
Blocking websites I think will never help because once you want to gamble again you can just unblock it as easy as 1-2-3. I think this kind of solution will never help. For me, having a good friends around you and try some other stuff with them will help you stay away in gambling.

I agree, if you really want to quit or avoid gambling it must start directly from yourself. Blocking those sites won't really help you. Quitting from gambling is really hard if you are addicted to it but if you really want to stop your addiction you yourself will find other ways to avoid it and permanently quit it.
The very first step is to recognize and accept the fact that you have a problem with gambling, and that is addiction. Having to accept that fact at the very first step is the most crucial since this is where you'll either want to stop it yourself and if you can't, you can get external help from either friends or relatives.

If still that doesn't work, rehab centers exist for that very reason, as well as psychologists so don't be afraid to want to improve yourself.
When you accepted about your problem the next thing is very easy for you because you will be able to welcome help from your family and friends and you will be easily cured with your gambling disease, make sure once you quit it, it will be for good.
12030  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to motivate women to use Bitcoin? on: August 30, 2016, 07:32:31 AM
i think you should motivate her just like everyone else, tell basic good things about bitcoin, don't tell any bad things about bitcoin, and i am sure that she will like it

bitcoin is good overall. it have no bad things except the scammers of bitcoin industry. and I think we should warn them to be careful from scammers. if we only tell her good things of bitcoin and avoid these scammers. and by chance she got scammed(which is almost very possible) then she'll lost her trust on bitcoin again and will never be convinced again.
Mostly women falls victim easy to scammers because they do not use their brain so much, they can easily be deceived and most of the scammers are men, I think it is hard for the women to live in crypto world. No offense to women but that is just my opinion.
12031  Economy / Economics / Re: When do you buy Bitcoin ? on: August 30, 2016, 07:26:54 AM
The best time to buy your bitcoins is at the lowest point of the price but that is something we all know it is the time you sell it. You need to be sure that the price will rise again because if you buy coins at such a low price you will only take more risk of losing money.
We all know that the price of bitcoin will rise again every time it falls, it is just a matter on how you trust bitcoin on that matter as what I see on the past that it is profitable when you buy bitcoins once there is a major price fall back since it will eventually rise in no time.
12032  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: August 30, 2016, 07:23:04 AM
Investing nowadays is much better if you would compare it to savings, as investments are returning great...
I invested my money in XMR (Monero) and never thought that it would just get spiked above 600% and I got my investment's return...
I invested too much less, but happy already with what I got... Smiley
So what are your plans/decision making ideas in order on choosing Monero among any other cyrptocurrency out there? Because other than that it either luck or you have studied on what altcoin to choose from. Because studying it makes your chances increase on gaining money from your investment. Sorry im pretty new with altcoin trading.

Trading  an altcoin is a risky thing to do because you may not even know when it will pump but in his situation i see monero previously and didnt pay attention into it and also hes lucky that he purchase some coins  of it and waited for a long time and those patience dont come to waste because it really pumped and i assumed that he didnt even  expect that thing  would happen.
Risky but it depends on your interest, there are many people who are successful in trading altcoin and that is good to focus as there are many altcoins yo can choose from, some may pump and dump but what matters is you will be able to catch up when it began to pump to make profit.
12033  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: August 30, 2016, 07:13:54 AM
i would never do that because with bitcoin i would never manage to make some stable money
yeah I think you would be hard to be able to get a fixed income of bitcoin. because most of the methods to get bitcoin requires effort every day from you to make a profit but to great advantage. very possible for you to benefit greatly
Yeah mate never do that because it's hard now to find a stable job where you can get your monthly money , bitcoin is not a stable and bitcoin is just there for some sideline and if we don't have to do in weekend where we can do posting and earning or we can do invest our to grow more

True,finding a stable day job is really hard since it requires many requirements before you get accepted not compared to bitcoin that you can easily  sit to a pc then do some works then its money but still not easy since you would do need  hard work in able to get bitcoin just what you did on  making  money on your day job. Therefore its still risky to switch because  bitcoin is unstable as of now.
thats the difference if you have day job you are sure that on your pay day you can get the actual amount of money that they will pay you, unlike with bitcoin the price is fluctuating you are unsure how much money you can get after the time that you received your payment.
It is good to receive an amount from bitcoin as it will teach you on how to manage your funds, working will make you lazy as you are just doing a repetition of job in a daily basis while when you are in the crypto world, everyday is a learning experience for you.

Well having a stable job is quitely boring since your job is repeating all the way but its worth the time since you are being payed on fixed rate, although bitcoin gives you large  earnings but still  in inconsistent matter, maybe you learn everyday but the risk is still there.
Definitely true, working in day job is only good when you are young but when you get older you realize that you cannot just an employee all your life and your needs and demands increases, we can only reach our dreams when we have the freedom to manage our own business and get our from the rat race.
12034  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: August 30, 2016, 06:50:22 AM
I would personally advise you to get around 50 just to be safe. Although, there is no way i see bitcoin being anywhere over 10,000$ anytime soon at all. If they go up to 3-5k$, well happy times for you!
50 is not enough actually, you need at least 100 BTC and in 20 years you can start saving now, regular saving is very important to accumulate a good number of bitcoin by 20 years and the amount or value will appreciate and that will be good for your investment, you will enjoy then.
12035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 30, 2016, 06:43:17 AM
gambling is wrong there is no any doubt. in gambling people loose their money and they will waste their time also. and when they get addicted to gambling the situation get even more worst. better to don't go near gambling if you want to live your life with peace.
Because you lose your money in gambling? I would not call it wrong because in my experience I have so much fun gambling. The fact that we can entertain ourselves even with a little amount of money that is already the benefits we can get in gambling.

Gambling is  just a game and its not really wrong to play as long  you dont get addicted  in to it and you  wont compromise you funds too much. As long  you have control on yourself then it wouldnt be wrong.  Gambling addiction is considered  to be wrong because you already doing it  on excessive times  which  really a  huge loses.
Gambling would be a sin for anyone who cannot handle the stress in gambling, it is very hard to gamble if you do not have enough money to use to enjoy that you can afford to lose, it will only result to being desperate of making money due to your financial needs and it would not do good for you.
12036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: August 30, 2016, 06:32:04 AM
Is it going to be Blake Griffin? Is it going to be DeMarcus Cousins? Perhaps Kevin Love finally gets dealy after a bad start to the season?
Derrick Rose & Carmelo Anthony after the New York Knicks project blows up? You guys think next season will give us a blockbuster?


For sure the next season is going to be a tough season and yeah it is going to be a blockbuster as there are a lot of shuffling that is going to happen.

And there are a lot of teams that are going to have good players after the shuffling. But still I am waiting for other players to be in a dream team.

Do you think guys that there is going to be a dream team for next season?

The Golden State Warriors are already a dream team, if you ask me. They are already very strong, even before they acquired Kevin Durant. Many teams will try to stop them and make changes in their line up just to be able to keep in step with the Warriors. The West will once again have a lot of teams in contention, compared to the East where it is more predictable. Anyone up for a Warriors-Cavs Finals for the third straight time?
I don't agree with your statement, they are easily beaten by the cavaliers so I would not call them a dream team. We have seen how the warriors played during Finals and that is no dream team for me, Lebron James Single-handedly take cared of the business to beat the warriors.
12037  Economy / Economics / Re: How to earn money with bitcoin ? on: August 30, 2016, 03:26:48 AM
you should just try doing some trading in exchanges in order to benefit and make some good money

yeah trading is a better suggestion, and the other suggestion is that he should have to invest in those ICOs which are from well known and trusted developers with that they can get a better profit also.
Investing in ICO is less more hustle because you just need to put your money and wait untill ICO is over, I have been doing that for years now and the outcome is really great though sometimes there are developers who cannot give me a profit but in overall that is profitable.
12038  Economy / Economics / Re: What percentage of people on Earth will own Bitcoin by 2020 on: August 30, 2016, 03:19:05 AM
~50 Million People.

So, 0,5-0,8% max.
that would be really good in my opinion as thats a lot of people as for bitcoin
So the percentage should only be less than 1% and not 10% or more, indeed the number is great and we can make a big impact in the world already, as long as it is a growing number that would be nice to witness and we are about to make history in the future as this is the best coins that would benefit its users.

Signature campaigns  are the most common way to earn bitcoin here in this forum without  having any risk  on putting  up money  on it in fact you could gain it  with your own efforts but as  he said joining signature campaigns as of now is  bit difficult because the  main requirement  is having a good quality post and most   trying to apply  are being rejected.

They are being rejected because managers nowadays don't want spam and want to clean all the trolls and worst stuff like repeating the same thing over and over, talking like we know more than someone but we are saying the same thing which is not good... We should come up with something new in mind so that it would help the community to gain some more knowledge on the same topic...
Well, that is how the signature work, some people are just repeating the answer because some poster will always ask the same question too, that is not the problem of the users just try to comment in the thread as it makes a healthy discussion with that matter, I believe the mods are doing their job and watching the posters to ensure a healthy discussion will continue.
12040  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: August 30, 2016, 02:57:30 AM
crash is definitely not going to happen any time soon at least i hope for it
i hope that you are right though anything might happen with the bitcoin price unfortunately, i think that right now bitcoin should be only growing


Don't believe it that crash is going to happen, because it already happened if you are going to remember the sudden price fall of bitcoin. The rapid price fall of then maybe that is the big crash that was describing of op to this post. So, we don't have to expect a big crash for the next days, but let's expect for a big rise.

We normally experience price drop of bitcoin because  of some circumstances and you are right ill assume that OP meant to  a crash where bitcoin would  drop its price to the bottom which is think its impossible to happen. Price drops are just normal but  as we all see that bitcoins price gradually increases after  price drop.
I also see that as a normal event where the price will drop, for us investors we consider that as the opportunity to buy more bitcoin or invest for a short period of time to gain profit as it is expected that the price will normally rise. In that scenario the group of traders will also make profit because they make money with the price fluctuations.
