This campaign is run by a great manager, payment received on time like clockwork.
1382  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: July 23, 2018, 02:43:46 PM
Of course I feel wonderful after winning a good amount.  The whole reason I gamble is for the excitement and adrenaline.  The old saying is so true, " Money won is a lot sweeter than money earned"
1383  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason we pay taxes and why we should on: July 23, 2018, 02:14:31 PM
The thing is that most of the tax money goes to pay off the interest on bonds.  The government has to constantly keep going deeper into debt or the whole system will collapse.  It's extremely unfair that the government socializes the losses and privatizes the gains.
1384  Economy / Economics / Re: Beside Cryptocurrenices where would you invest? on: July 23, 2018, 02:00:53 PM
For other investments I prefer stocks since you get to own a piece of the company.  The stock market has been on a bull run the last few years so this may be a bad time to get in though. 

I usually go for companies with leading technology and innovation. Amazon stock nearly doubled this year and Jeff Bezos is now worth over 150 billion dollars.

Carmelo Anthony doesn't have to come off the bench, he also doesn't have to learn to adapt the houston rockets game. Even the worst case scenario of melo doing whatever melo normally does, that still works for rockets. Right now they do not have the wings they had last year. Which means they need proper wings, they need someone who can strecth the floor somehow. They lost last year on the western conference finals with 27 threes missed in a row, I doubt melo could be any worse, he has worse defense than ariza for sure but considering they already lost ariza, they have no other choice than sign him.

I think Carmelo Anthony has always been overrated due to not being much of a defensive player.  He's good for the Rockets system because they are a high powered offense.  The problem with being a three point shooting team is that you live and die by the three.
1386  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why did the government want to kill Bitcoin? on: July 23, 2018, 01:47:24 PM
Governments are scared because they can't control bitcoin.  Bitcoin can't be fractionally lent by banks like fiat can.  Banks only hold around 10 percent of actual deposits from what they have lent out in total. The whole system is working on debt.  Bitcoin is decentralized so they will not be able to manipulate it and print endless currency.
1387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fork Bitcoin with a new Core that has no miner's fees. on: July 23, 2018, 01:41:13 PM
It would be too difficult to move away from Core.   A forked coin will never compete with bitcoin.  The OG bitcoin has too large of a dominance and adoption rate.  People would be hesitant to trust a new coin when they can trust a coin that's been around for 10 years.
1388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is better than banknotes on: July 23, 2018, 12:57:39 PM
Governments basically print money anytime they want, they are the ones counterfeiting if you think about it.  Counterfeiting destroys the value of your money and makes people lose trust as rapid inflation occurs.  Bitcoin is truly excellent because of the set supply amounts based on code.  There is no magical printing with bitcoin.
1389  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we compare Bitcoin with tulips? on: July 23, 2018, 12:50:55 PM
It's very annoying when I hear people compare tulips to bitcoin, they are completely different.  Tulips had no actual function or use.  It's just one of those things said by mega fuders and anti bitcoiners.
1390  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think that other coins move faster? on: July 23, 2018, 11:37:27 AM
Bitcoin transactions have been pretty fast for me recently and the fees have been low.  Back in December there was a real problem with slow transactions.  I know a lot of other cryptos claim to have faster speeds but it  really doesn't bother me to just wait a few more minutes instead of being impatient.

Op, Can you actually hear the difference between vinyl and cd?
1392  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how often do you check BTC price and how to cope with stress? on: July 20, 2018, 11:34:30 AM
As you know the Bitcoin market is complex, risky and dangerous. When you check the price of bitcoin down you have to be firm about the psychology you determine long-term investment and not be down today morale btc tomorrow may rise so why do not you automatically yourself?Yes, this game is not for the weak and the indecisive.When you trade, there must be a hole, myself also fly thousands of dollars in just one night. It is important that you understand the market and be determined. The next time you see Bitcoin showing signs of going down, you can jump to another trade that is showing signs of slight fluctuations.  Grin


In the crypto market you have to be willing to hold for the long term and not let the short term drops stress you out.  Checking prices every hour will really mess with your mind if you are prone to stress and may lead to panic attacks.  I had a few friends that invested in crypto and lost a fair amount so far on paper and they are nervous wrecks that are about to sell.
1393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to deal with multiple accounts and abusing faucet? on: July 20, 2018, 11:28:05 AM
I'm really wondering what people are actually attempting to abuse these faucets.  They could make much more money doing almost anything else. 

I agree it's a shame but there will always be abusers, sometimes we just have to live with it.
1394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bill Gates: I would put against bitcoin on: July 20, 2018, 11:10:10 AM
I'm just guessing that behind all this he talks like that in the pay of the Whale.
When Bitcoin drops because of his speech, the Whale is in action to buy it. So this is an old trick to create panic and gain profit in narrow.

And hopefully my guess is wrong, because it is very in love once a great person like him say such words.

I really don't think Bitcoin is against the technology.  Although controversial for stealing ideas Microsoft has always been an innovator in their field.  I guess Gates is just trying to back up the agenda of his buddy Warren Buffet considering the large donation left to the Gates Foundation.
1395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: July 19, 2018, 06:52:52 PM
i see a lot of posters stated the negative addictions of some gamblers.  I've never had that problem myself as I always gamble responsibly and I do it for fun.  For myself, sport matches can be quite boring unless I have some money riding on the game.
1396  Economy / Economics / Re: What would happen to banks? on: July 19, 2018, 06:46:11 PM
There will always be some sort of use for banking institutions.  Some big transfers need a 3rd party to be able to reverse transactions, perhaps big companies will be involved in bitcoin escrow in the future though.  I think bankers were threatened at first but they are starting to invest in cryptocurrency themselves now.
1397  Economy / Economics / Re: The number of Canadians who own bitcoin doubled in 1 year on: July 19, 2018, 06:42:44 PM
This very good. It is not just Canada, I believe it is the world all over. People with bitcoin have really doubled globally in the last one year.

Yep, and its only just began.... If everything goes to plan for bitcoin the amount of users should at least 10x.  With the last statistics I saw less than 5 percent of people in American even own bitcoin.  It's not going to happen overnight either, this is still going to take some time.
1398  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: DONT INVEST IN BTC IF YOU CAN'T OR AFRAID OF TAKING RISK on: July 19, 2018, 05:38:12 PM
I really don't think the risk is that great.  Bitcoin has been around for almost 10 years and has shown to be secure.  Satoshi would of already dumped his coins if he had malicious intent.
1399  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold to reach new all time high of $2400/ounce on: July 19, 2018, 12:27:11 PM
Bitcoin is much safer than storing gold because of encryption, passwords, multiple addresses.  Holding gold is much more of a security risk in my mind. 

I still think gold is a good investment because of the intrinsic value but I would only keep a small portion of my portfolio in gold.
1400  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bit Coin is a Ponzi Scheme on: July 18, 2018, 03:08:13 PM
Calling Bitcoin a Pnnzi scheme usually stems from jealously of not getting in early enough.  There will always be people that got in earlier than you, so it shouldn't be reason to call something a ponzi.  I'm sure people wish they bought Amazon under 10 dollars a share but it's still a good investment to buy just like bitcoin.
