I heard some folks on Quora that bitcoin is going to die but blockchain is the future. What do you guys think of this?
Oh, some folks on Quora said that? Then sell sell sell, it is definitely going to die if they say so! I think that Blockchain is the future, but Bitcoin is the original blockchain, I would be surprised if Blockchains take over the world, but Bitcoin is somehow dead in the water. It 'could' lose it's number one spot, but if it is worth $10,000 and isn't number one, I think I could live with that. Nice call. People tend to forget that BTC is the legendary coin that first introduced the block chain technology. Of course some alts are better than BTC that's why alts are created but BTC is still reigning in the top I think that because even if they first heard about altcoins they will know BTC too and because BTC is the coin, the myth the legend they will invest on it making its demand much larger. And 10000$? That price is a dream to me and I'm satisfied if BTC is only third or 25 on the list if it has that price.Me too. Really, why to be against that situation when other crypto holders make more money than bitcoin holders if bitcoiners make a lot too? What we can say for sure is that bitcoin will not die and that probably it will rise compared to USD, but we can't say whether it will always be number one crypto. |

Dollar has huge popularity and acceptance,it can be transacted everywhere in the world,but Bitcoin is only used on the virtual world. Bitcoin is becoming a powerful currency day by day but it's not high time to compare with dollar. Bitcoin should be kept its acceptability for a long time,then people can trust easily. If its happen then Bitcoin will replace with dollar otherwise not....
That's not true. There are many places in the world, in the real world, where you can pay with BTC and get some services. On May 22, 2010, when those famous two pizzas were bought for 10k BTC, bitcoin had ceased to be a currency used in the virtual world only. I agree with your points because I also have heard from different people that in their places bitcoin is being used for different offline things so it mean that bitcoin has started to be a currency competitive to dollar and on internet it is already getting bigger than dollar because on internet many people now like to use bitcoin. Apart from that half of the world's population have no internet access, it's not enough to have it for knowing bitcoin. People are busy with many other things neglecting bitcoin related topics. Hopefully this will change for good in the future. |

I see you plan as a normal thing and what anyone should imbibe as a culture and not only in gambling because any activities one is engaging even in business, there is need to sit down and compute the cost and benefit been derived and with that, you know whether this path is the right one or its leading me to early destruction. As a policy too, I am actually intensifying effort to be more prudent in this rule.
well that's right knowing limitation will be applied not only with gambling nut also with other way around, as we needed to compute our benefits and loses to make sure that we are moving forward or if we needed to change our plans its an effective ways of doing good business and its should be a must for everyone who loves to have self control. Self control is a good thing but people lose it while gambling that's the problem. It's easy to say the words but in reality sometimes we just can't stop betting until we lose it all. That's why it's important to never deposit on a gambling site more than you can afford to lose. |

Why is it closed? Too much FUD? But there are nice people giving good advice too. I don't feel that shutting it down is the ideal way to controlling it.
Yeah, that was a mistake from their side, but I think they are smart and they will bring it back soon. Active community, trolls or not, is very important to make people want to spend time on a site. They should take a look at this thread where large majority of posts show regret that trollbox is gone. |

Now it's up by 130,000%! O__O Actually it's 450% but still impressive.  Stratis is listed on 11 exchanges and the trading volume on Poloniex alone is over $17 million per day. What I like about Stratis developers is that they are not trying to compete with or replace Bitcoin, but rather, they are trying to complement it. I think the price of STRAT can rise to $11 and stabilize there for awhile. Only 450%? The price is already over 1000x against the ICO price (fiat). Sorry, my bad, that's not 450% but it's not over 1000x against the ICO price either. STRAT is 0.00332381 BTC right now and if the ico price was 1129 sats thatn it's around 300x ... Oh, I see now, you said "(fiat)". Then yes, it's around 1000x, because it was $0.01 and now it's over $9. |

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1170840477/solargaps-smart-solar-blindsI have a strong opinion not to solar mine as a whole unless you are a home miner and recognize that the capital outlays for the specific purpose of getting "free energy" to offset mining costs is a fallacy. But, I am green and I have roof panels to run my entire household and am under the firm conclusion that I will ROI in about 9 years and feel better about my carbon foot print as it pertains to my household. My mining is at locations where local power is predominately wind. This device is probably nowhere near as efficient as roof based panels, but worthy of a discussion. Those SolarGaps is a great idea imo and I'm glad they already have raised $66,836, just in 6 days. But I doubt it's possible to mine BTC with those. As they state in the ad video, if you'd cover 2 windows, 3 square meters, with SolarGaps you'll get up to 300 Wh. Since you'll need over 1,000Wx24h= 24,000 Wh per day to run jsut one miner, it's clear that you'll never get that from SolarGaps. |

If I want to tip somebody for their help anywhere on internet and if that person is also into crypto stuff, what would be the best way to just tip a few bucks to him?
I know the obvious answer is to send some BTC, but looking at the price right now, I may need to send few hundred 'satoshi' and not full coins. And considering the high fees and transaction times right now with BTC, I am hopeful that there must be some better way/currency to do that.
Are there any existing tip bots? If yes, then which are the most popular ones and which currencies do they support?
If you want to send a small tip you can use the ways described by BitcoinHodler above, which are great imo. But there is another option and you won't need to switch to other cryptos for that. You can use PrimeDice for that, for example. Right now you can tip as low as 1k satoshis on PD. It's easy to create an account there and also I know that it's safe to keep you money there. At least I never heard that someone lost their money from balance there unless they were hacked. |

The answer is simple - Plan gambling is the ONLY way to get with profit in the end of the day.
Sorry, but I seriously doubt that. You can be with profit in the end of the day if you are lucky, but planning has nothing to do with that. I think it's an illusion that any kind of planning or any strategy is helping you to win. What really helps you is luck and nothing else. Since you can't be lucky all the time you eventually lose and no planning can help you. |

Do you know a good strategy to increase faucet satoshis (300-500) to couple thousand?
I'll tell you about the strategy which worked for me several times. Claim the faucet, say it's 200 satoshis, and bet 5 times, 40 sats/bet with 1% win chance. If you hit it, you'll have around 4,000 satoshis in profit. Usually it takes several claims before you hit it, but it happens eventually. I'm not saying you can make money with this strategy because you'll lose those 4,000 satoshis after playing with them for some time, but it's fun. |

Maybe in the far far future bitcoin will lose it's number one spot to Ethereum, or to another crypto we don't know yet, but bitcoin will never be abandoned completely. With all those problems bitcoin is having recently it would be already abandoned if that was possible. |

Surpassed 20k toshies. Come, join the army!
Yes, LBRY Credits are showing good rise in the last 24 hours. 35% in BTC is impressive considering the 24h volume, 14+ million. I think decentralized filesharing on a Blockchain might be liked by many in the future and thus LBRY has a good potential. |

It is a good way to limit your gambling, taking record will make you realize how much you had spent for gambling and how much is your profit with gambling, usually using this psychology method the gambler will be able to maintain the bankroll, and if you add recording your game it can be a great way to analyze your gambling strategy
I agree with the first part of your statement, but what strategy are you talking about? Because it looks like you are trying to say that analizing a strategy you can make better and then with a "good strategy" you can earn money with gambling. I'm emphasizing this because IMO gambling addiction starts from creating a strategy. I think all about in gambling is base on luck any strategy you make will be result the same.. except for sports betting because both needs analyze and luck can gives you a good result. Monitoring the old history of bets like in dice game and slots game its impossible to success in this game unless if you are lucky.. this is just base in my experience since 2014 when i was start using bitcoin.. i heard many bitcoin gamblers win a lot. but i don't really know if its true or not.. Most likely it's not. Gamblers like to brag about their winnings, but they "forget" to mention losses and how big they were. Not all gamlers behave that way, but many and thus newbies get the impression that gambling is an easy way to make money. |

ACOIN is presented on only two exchanges, Cryptopia and YoBit, and the 24h trading volume for this coin isn't big, around $7k. With such low trading volume it's easy to manipulate coin's price so those charts say little about potential of ACOIN in my opinion.

the price is rapidly go down, but ut is normal with all the coins, it is in two-face of how you look at it, one side will say, it's the best time too buy more and hold, the other one will say, he's loosing money cause the value of the coin is going down.
which side are you?
And today it is rising again. It is $0.73 right now, also 3.36% rising in BTC. I hope to see $1.20 again, I dont want to sell TOR cheaper than that. Btw, any of you guys sold some TOR and if yes for how much? I sold my first 20 TOR for 0.00049 each on Crypto Dao, and since then I'm holding. I only sold a few on torcoin forums to help someone, he didn't want to buy on exchanges So he bought something for me on ebay and I sent him TOR I believe everything under 1$ would be a shame to sell at allIn the long term, when integrated wallets are released, prices will spike up to 2-3$I'm holding 900 on my paper wallet TTSDzB5Bvd6U7DzMTw3PiJuQLbcxsDPMdR + some on regular wallet hodling  Yes, I agree with you. At least I'm not selling under under 1$, no way I will sell TOR so cheap. When do you think, at least approximately, the integrated wallets will be released? |

I do not think it will be more than the price of thousands of satoshi, but let's see what's interesting so many whales take big bags for XVG
Yes, you are right most likely. XVG is around 200 satoshis now and if you are talking about thousands, which means 10 times rising, it looks that would be the highest limit at least for the nearest future. |

Forget about everything else and just put everything on bitcoin. You are living with your parents, they pay everything for you, you got nothing to lose. If I was living with my parents, I would save everything and buy bitcoin monthly. If BTC doesn't keep rising you can still reach the 21 BTC holder group, then save this and retire in 10 years when the price makes you a millionaire.
Go all in on regret later. You are on a privileged position to profit from high risk high reward moves. No risk no win, and BTC is the best long term high risk bet.
I would go all in with pleasure but even though I'm living with my parents I still need my money for many things and I can't invest in BTC although I'm sure it would be a right thing to do. But even if I could, 21 BTC is far from what I could buy. It's more like 1 BTC in two years. Just do what you want in the end there is nothing to be scared about. Even it would take two years or more it is not like wasting your time and bitcoin because we know the value or the capability of the bitcoin. By that time, its price would be higher. And maybe you should try to invest in bitcoin even if it was only a little. Thanks for the advice! Even though I can't afford buying bitcoin at least I can try not to sell what I earn. I would have almost 0.3 by now, but unfortunately I sold most of my BTC. So for me "all in" is not selling any. |

In my opinion, trading is more risky because money is at stake more, in contrast to skills  That's true. Only sick addicted gamblers put all their money at stake during gambling. But for traders it looks like a normal thing since they analized the situation and almost sure they will be in profit. But sometimes unpredicted things happen and they lose a lot then. What do you mean are they going to risk or accept the fact that believing on risking money for the chance of 80%?? People who actually playing dice game and took the chance of 1.012 winning rate will always had 20% percent change of loosing gambling is unpredictable game where you need to create your own strategies and make your own style of playing. While in trading you could minimize your loses there by simply selling the coins again with cheaper price but atleast you bring back the half. No, I don't mean that playing dice with over 90% win chance is not risky. Gambling is risky, no doubt about that. I mean that when you trade you can risk much bigger amounts than when you gamble, because it might appear to you that you know exactly what you are doing. |
