1721  Economy / Economics / Re: One Reason not to be "All Inn" on any Single Investment for Long on: April 21, 2017, 09:05:40 PM
Diversification is always a good strategy if you are after preserving your assets while at the same time spreading the risks and making your money work in different ways. By putting your assets in different risk-reward ratio of investments, that minimizes the  risk of losing everything all at once. More like playing it safe and being wise.
As a wise person you will surely think up on this thing first since you do know already the risk involved on any investment and diversification would really lessen the risk because its been partitioned already which means if one of them fails then recovery wont be too hard compared on putting up on one investment.
Other than recovery, the performances of various investments will be always different hence to make sure that we are not missing out any rapid paying investment opportunity,we must look for more number of opportunities rather than sticking with one as no one could foresee future so that pick the only high performing investment opportunity.

When the leader or financier of a family is not good with saving habits or not good enough to earn as per inflation demands or losing money in addictions (it can be alcohol/gambling/sex), it will be inevitable that family will under go financial stress.

Saving will solve all these problems, but to save hey must earn more than what they need and must not have any holes to sink out.
1723  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: April 21, 2017, 08:43:34 PM
Bitcoin can also lead to corruption and can be linked to corruption after all corruption happens because of money and bitcoin is a form of money, a crypto currency so there is still corruption in bitcoin but it is hidden like how one commits corruptions because of a fiat currency. It is impossible for bitcoin, a currency to be corruption free.
You are talking like there is no corruption in world countries and bitcoin will help people to bring corruptions. The evil sides of people will always tend to misuse any new technological advancements. This is again happening with the introductions of bitcoin and corruptions and support from new inventions are not new due to bitcoins ecosystem.
1724  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Africa on: April 21, 2017, 08:26:02 PM
Most people on this thread have wrong perception about Africa and it's embrace to crypto currency, Crypto-Currency is a major source of business and revenue for lots of people here in my country. People tend to buy bitcoins and sell them at a good profit weekly in my country.
Are you from African country and do you mean to say already you people are using bitcoins as a trading instrument not as a currency ? I guess you people are on right track.

When you find bitcoin trading is profitable, you may enter into 2nd phase of bitcoin ecosystem : using bitcoin as store of value. Every bitcoin trader will become an bitcoin investor when we realizes holding will be more profitable than trading. The 3rd phase needs more time which is establishing bitcoin economy. Bitcoin economy needs bitcoin-users and bitcoin accepting merchants. When those will be happening you will embrace bitcoin as a currency.
1725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how can we make gambling as an accepted recreational activity like sports game? on: April 21, 2017, 08:02:24 PM
It is the possible when gambling is available for free of cost. It means you do not need to spend money for gambling at the same time you could never expect making money from gambling. In this case gambling will turn something similar to playing video-games or watching a thriller movie.

For recreational purposes, lots of proven methods are available hence I do believe there will be no need of considering alterations to gambling behaviors for recreational purchases. Let the gambling serve its original purposes.
1726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the future of gambling on: April 21, 2017, 07:23:49 PM
Gambling will always be around on the internet and bitcoin makes it easier to fund accounts and it is more anonymous. I think more sites will get added and the quality will keep getting better.

Yes gambling will always available in this world. Bitcoin and other crypto currencies make it more easier nowadays. Thanks to the internet that makes all these 'good things' happened. And for sure in the future more games will be developed. And the way we gamble will be even more easier to do, I hope!
I believe the contribution from crypto currency side for gambling just covering only one part. I guess there are a lot of improvements online gambling industry will get in near future like virtual reality gambling / real life like gambling and anything that will entertain more will get implemented in gambling industry for sure. The future of gambling must be very much excited at the same time in future gambling addiction also will be very much severe.
1727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: April 21, 2017, 06:59:21 PM
Experience doesn't affect what cards you get, as that depends on luck. But if we speak about game like poker ( most popular gambling game with cards) experience actually matters here, again, not for cards, but for bluffing, knowing chances, controlling your emotions - that's why older players win more often versus new poker players
I do see theoretically many people are arguing about luck which is the only factor deciding our profits in most of the gambling types, but I do experience about knowledge how useful it is when I am gambling like when to stop and how to degrade my bet levels. You could never ignore the use of experience anywhere.

Even luck is the deciding factor in most of the gambling, if you are having experience and knowledge you can prevent your losses. Avoided-losses are profit in some calculation, in this way we can avoid losses by using our experience even in luck-based a gambling. It means we are making "non-real profits". Experience matters everywhere so even for your luck based gambling too.
1728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: April 21, 2017, 04:51:32 PM
Trading is less risky than gambling. Gambling depends mostly on luck but trading is different. If you know the market you can make profit from trading it doesn't depend on your luck. And in bitcoin price are likely to go upwards. In gambling you gonna lose now or later.
I believe all the characteristics you are mentioning about gambling, will be also applicable to trading. Because there are trades who are depending on their luck for trading and when they are trading without proper knowledge about technical analysis they will lose one day or another.

For a sports betting gambler, trading is a highly messy one, he will never prefer trading over his gambling. I mean to say it is all about the skills of one person so we cannot say trading is better than gambling.
1729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: April 21, 2017, 08:47:35 AM
Can't believe that Kings could lose so badly. They let MI get almost 12-13 runs per over and couldn't even manage to get wickets. They lost the catch of Rana as well and then kept losing their way when Rana kept hitting sixes and fours. He hit 7 sixes which was an amazing performance and glad that MI won this game. Their batting was brilliant and hard luck to Kings XI. The last few matches haven't been good for them.

Amazing hard hitting by all Mumbai batsmen. They managed to chase down a 190+ score with more than 4 overs to spare!!
Hashim Amla must be thinking what else is required from him to win a match.

Very true considering the 190 score bu Punjab it was difficult to chase as not every time such high scores are being chased. But the way MI batsman started their inning each and every one was like wanting to play aggressive and made the score look so simple . They outperform Punjab .


The reason why Mumbai is winning is only due to Rana,he has become the top run scorer in this IPL and has the orange cap now and also some people chip in between and score up to make the target very easy for the team
Yes, Rana seems one of the biggest reason but I do see Mumbai Indian's team balance is so perfect there are all rounders and there are special batsmen and bowlers and also they are having special dead bowlers, what else you need to win consistently.

Yesterday I was thinking it could be Punjab's day but openers of MI itself proved me wrong. Powerplay runs itself showed how strong MI in that match and in this IPL season. I guess they are again going to lift the cup.
1730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I have 0.5 BTC how to make money in Investment. on: April 21, 2017, 08:23:05 AM
0.5 BTC is a bunch of money to invest with if you know how to properly split your investment via Bitcoin then that amount should make you a bunch of money. I would suggest that you do some sort of Altcoin trading if you want to make money without losing too much money in an investment just in case things go wrong. There’s plenty of coins that are trying to look for people to invest in before the price rises, visit at coinmarketcap.com when you have the chance.
I agree, if you are really want to invest you should only invest a small amount until you make sure that what you are doing is worth putting more into it,  especially trading since it requires more knowledge and experience and a lot of observation to the market.

So, you really need to take your time learning it before actually trying to invest in it, personally I think the best way to invest money today is cloud mining, even though many people will disagree with me, but some of the legit mining companies have some options that really pay and for a really reasonable price so you can check some reviews to know the right ones.
1731  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: April 21, 2017, 07:49:55 AM
I have heard that bitcoin is not supported in some countries. But why ? Is it because bitcoin is risky ? Some countries even declare 6 months jail if her people use bitcoin. Is it fair ? I mined few cryptos and have left mining. It was fun and challenging too. But I never got any clear answer. What does my gpu actually do ? I pay electric bill, my room temperature goes high and I get paid. With actually no skill on pc hardware and software. Whole thing is still pretty unclear to me
Some countries fear bitcoin that it would be used for illegal activities and they would not be able to control it.Just like china and russia tried to ban bitcoin at first,they too are discussing on the possible ways to ban bitcoin but sure they would drop their plans as china and russia did.What they could do is that only they could regulate bitcoin.Banning bitcoin is impossible since banning internet is impossible.

That, I think, is not a valid reason to ban bitcoin since fiat is also used for illegal activities. No one can dictate people on how they will use their money, or bitcoin, so being used illegally is not the fault of bitcoin and thus not a valid reason to be banned in the first place.

On the other hand, I would agree that the government fears bitcoin because they cannot control it. What government would want that, right? The government wants to govern, control, rule so introducing bitcoin to them would make them step back. However, since many are using and accepting bitcoin nowadays, they do not have a choice but to accept bitcoin also. They just have to gain benefit from bitcoin and would not let bitcoin surpass fiat in their country or it will be chaos.
I think the main reason why some countries are not supporting bitcoin is due to the fact they are trying to avoid people using it for money laundry, and you said it yourself governments have no control over its network not so ever and the people using bitcoin are completely under the grid and have their identity concealed so they can use it like they want, for gambling drugs and other illegal stuff.

Right now there are three types of countries the ones who reject bitcoin therefore reject development, others who accepts it and see the future in it and others who are neutral and still don’t even know what it is.
1732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: April 21, 2017, 07:14:19 AM
What is bitcoin for you? Is it a chance or a scheme to get rich? Or is it actually to keep your wealth to yourself.
What lead you into bitcoin world and what's keeping you here?
I treat bitcoins as help for me to get rich and have more wealth in my life.Also at the same time to keep some wealth of mine that i dont want to show from my family and my friends.
It is a great forum that helps people to grow in a positive way. Like it provides a lot of opportunities many people, around and same is it for me. It is actually a platform that contributes me in earning and collecting wealth. Secondly it is a very secret type of earning no one knows around you weather you earned or lose or how much you earn or lost. I personally don’t want anyone around me to know about my earnings and BTC is best for it.
1733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe is to storage private keys in the cloud? on: April 21, 2017, 06:19:49 AM
I am not fully believe to store private keys in cloud storage, all our secrets will open if the emails we've been penetrated by hackers,
I consider the cloud is not a safe way because it still has a gap to be consumed together.
I don’t prefer and trust the private keys to be stored in to the cloud. I think it is like the involvement of something which is more at risk anytime. We are surrounded by many hackers and this is something that makes quite uncomfortable to think of it. I am more interested in keeping all my stuff in a PC or on my android app which is quite easy for me to access anytime I want and is safer.
1734  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coins will be listed on Polo next and when? on: April 20, 2017, 07:51:24 AM
No one talks about 1stblood but their esports approach has been amazing and if they can pull off what they are trying to pull off and become a wagered marketplace for gamers to gamble against each other and bet each other wins and make Money by beating other gamers than it will have the highest value than any coin out there.

They just need to find a way to attract a whooooole lot of gamers, if they achieve that, the sky is the limit.
1735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: POSW - PIVX - ARK - EDGELESS - WAVES: the most promising on: April 20, 2017, 06:58:50 AM
I don’t know much about Posw to be honest so I can’t talk fort hat but all the other coins seems to be getting some attention.

PivX has a huge great community behind it that brought the prices X10 already, Ark has support and great devs that can keep develop it constantly, Edgeless has nice features that would bring fresh opinions to the table and Waves has a chance to be the best decentralized exchange market out there ever. They all have huge value if you ask me, just gotta wait and see which one will be the best but I believe all will be great.
1736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Polo removing these coins on: April 20, 2017, 06:29:05 AM
I am incredibly lucky, I owned CURE like until only before 1 hour of notification, sold it with some little profit and one hour later boom it drops to oblivion.

I think this move is amazing because Poloniex never wanted to be an exchange where all coins exchanged, they are getting rid of all pump&dump coins and getting coins like PivX and so forth to get more valuable coins on their exchange.
1737  Economy / Economics / Re: How to teach kids about Bitcoin? on: April 19, 2017, 08:26:57 PM
Teaching kids about bitcoin i think no need to do that because they are kids. Maybe teach them if they graduated in high school that is best right to teach them.  But kids maybe its not the time to learn about bitcoin.
I consider it as insane. A kid is always a kid he/she having nothing to do with the profit or loss or to earn or to not. Kids are not responsible for to get a toy or anything by themselves.

Let them be in their own world despite if not you are trying to snatch childhood from a kid which is horrible in my opinion. Everything has a specific time to do at. The best part is after completion of graduation let him know about the forum and let the kid find a way by their self. The only thing that an adult have to do is to guide them to a track.
1738  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin price is recovering! on: April 19, 2017, 08:11:01 PM
no doubt that the popularity of bitcoin is increasing too much and hope that very soon all the peole of the world will be using bitcoin for completing all their need and purposes.
Yes it is, once again the bitcoin is proving itself in the market and people are showing their interest in the bitcoin. A large number of people are using bitcoin but saying all the people of the world will use bitcoin very soon is actually nothing else than a statement given in the state of extreme excitement.

 It still has a long way to go. When we talk about large number of people are using it, it means those people who know about it and they use it. There are people who even knowing about it don’t use it while there are millions of people who don’t even know what a crypto is?
1739  Economy / Economics / Re: The Real Reason to Hold Gold And Bitcoin on: April 19, 2017, 07:50:49 PM
I believe that Bitcoin and gold is best as store of value.  They are incline to increase in price in the long run.  So to defeat the depreciation of a currency,  It is best to to buy Bitcoin or gold and hold it for a very long time.  Just for example, a $1000 worth of Bitcoin today may probably $10,000 worth after 10 years.
but to me i think gold is good for saving while for trading and investment purposes, bitcoin is the best option. i think we can make good profit by investing bitcoin in alt coin, but i think you need to have good knowledge about altcoin trading.
Yes, agreed to the point of the investment into gold. Because gold is the most stable and common wealth icon which barely will have ever decrease its value. For trading the cryptocurrency is best.

As there are lots of currencies now a days one can easily trade in it if have a little knowledge of the market of the cryptocurrency. There are lots of opportunities that you can avail of even the altcoin that lets you get profit. The only thing that needs for the profit is your familiarity to the market.

I need around $5,000 - $10,000 neteller from a good verified account

Minimum i will buy from one person will be $2,000

Please tell me what rate you want.. I have coins...

Need it asap, will only buy from verified people, and I can offer very good rates..
I am interested to deal with. I have verified 5 years old neteller account. How much percentage you will be ready to pay. You are asking in big volume hence I will be ready to deal with relatively small percentage too. What about dealing with $500 at a time, I guess that will reduce the risks for both of us.

Please reply with how much commissions you will be ready to pay and you need to pay bitcoins first or you can engage escrow by paying fees. I will be posting here the bitcoin addy and tx details here for verification similarly screenshot of netteller payments.
