1921  Economy / Economics / Re: How to gradually replace a national currency with bitcoins on: June 29, 2019, 11:20:24 PM
I don't think this will be possible. The thing here is that there is no country that will be accepting bitcoin as their national currency or crypto currency. Decentralization, volatility, and fees could affect the economy. That is fine if that is just a way to gradually adopt bitcoin but I don't think bitcoin will be more than an alternate payment method, or an investment.
1922  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's price is so volatile right now! Why should I even hold? on: June 29, 2019, 10:51:36 PM
Even if is volatile and the price drop and people buy when is high i think they should hold for a long time and wait hold for longer, because the bitcoin is a long way coin.

Though with its volatility, everything can change so even if we are aiming for the longtime investment, we should still track the price movements of btc. Also, don't be ignorant with the price changes like that, don't buy when the price is high, everyone wants to get their hands on their own btcs but I don't think we need to rush and buy them since it is pumping now.

As stated by the article,

Quote
Earlier this year, rumors of a new Netflix documentary featuring altcoins started circulating. However, recent developments show that this is more than a rumor.

It is still a rumor so we don't need to be in so much hype. I've seen another thread about a tv show in the making but this will really be great if a lot of people in our country can watch this. Also, the article says it is not only netflix and there are a lot of other more people that eants to start their own documentaries about bitcoin.
1924  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: “Cryptos” - A new tv show about cryptocurrency on: June 29, 2019, 09:15:21 PM
I think it is still in progress without any information available about it. We should not be that excited about it sonce it may disappoint us in the end. Though it is true that we should raise the knowledge of people about Bitcoin and about crypto currencies. There are these perceptions they have in it that is not really right. If this continues, I hope there will be a lot of people that know their thing talk to this show.
1925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The key reason for gambling on: June 29, 2019, 08:56:14 PM
That's true. So we should find not only key reasons for gambling but also key reasons to stop it when situation will be out of control.

there is no need to stop gambling. it's a fun spending of time and people who can't control themselves must be limited in case of gambling.

You can say that if you are not a gambling addict. Gambling is hard to stop when you are already an addict, you will be needing the help that you want especially the peofessionals. But if you are just gambling for fun and you know that it will not eat your savings up, you can continue playing as long as you will not be using that money.
1926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling - Eating your Brain and Money on: June 29, 2019, 02:46:11 PM
Correct gambling eating brain and money if the gambler did not how control itself its become addecting. Some of people get in that situstion because they trest gambling as source of income and become a greedy.

Of course it is not healthy if a person being addicted to anything, including gambling. However eating brain for me is a wrong word, even if it is just figurative sentence. Brain stay the same, it just concentrates on things, which are not that common.

I think that is the right way to describe that. If you do not know a gambling addict since I do because I am addicted to gambling in the past. We will be finding our way to gamble, and no one can stop us even if it is my parents. It might be the graduation of my cousin or my little sister I don't care. If my friends ask me to gamble, I will and you will not be able to think of other things besides gambling especially if you are not playing for a while, a while means days, even hours.
1927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I LOST OVER 10 BTC IN GAMBLING IN 2018 on: June 29, 2019, 02:08:21 PM
it's a big amount of money but you got the experience and won't repeat such big mistake again. and it will be the lesson for others - you should use for gambling the sum you can afford.
I agree. I think this is part of his gambling journeys Cheesy.

10 Btc is a very huge money indeed but I think this is just a lesson for you that you must not spend what you can't afford to lose because in gambling, chances of winning is very low.

For me this amount is so huge I would kill myself if I just lose it in gambling. Im serious bro, I mean I am not rich, my family is not rich and I am so happy that I am earning money through out the time I am here, another thing is my job but that is a different story since I can save my cryptos here so I can get more profits in the future. Gambling can really ruin your life, please take care of yourself, if you don't want tothen take care of your family but always remember thay if you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of others.
1928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The longer you play poker the better you become ? on: June 29, 2019, 12:03:35 AM
Poker and pvp video games have a lower barrier of skill that more people can learn.  No matter how much you practice you can't be a professional basketball player unless you are born with strong physical genetics.  With mental games like this everyone has a shot to succeed.

As long as you are exerting an effort to do so. I am saying this because there are a lot of people that are so annoyed when they are matched up to good players and saying they will be also doing their best so they can be good too but in reality, they are not. From games to gambling, I think you really need to learn a lot of things, not just bet on it or play with it, you can explore more things so you can be a great gambler and a great player, though I would forget being a great gambler, that might destroy me.
1929  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin volatility here to stay? on: June 28, 2019, 10:55:48 PM
I am a strong believer in HODL. I expected bitcoin volatility decreases as time goes by, I totally didn't expect such big price change in the past several days.

Is bitcoin volatility here to stay and not decrease?

I think that what makes bitcoin bitcoin, you know what I mean? It is a crypto currency, and a decentralized one so no one controls the price but it depends on how it is being circulated in the market. Volatility will never part ways with btc since it is the reason why a lot of investors earned a lot of profit.
1930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Attack on Bitcoin on: June 28, 2019, 03:34:27 PM
You might be pointing out on hackers planning to attack exchanges and other platforms that are holding bitcoins. This attacks really make bitcoin and cryptocurrency less secured as of now. This is a long-time issues that still need to be resolved.

What is that? Bitcoin is "less-secured" now? How can you say that? Because of the hacks that are happening to these exchanges? No! Even if there are a lot of hacks that is happening, bitcoin is not "less-secured" because if that is the case, I don't think we will be seeing the price like this, hackers will just create a lot of btc and sell it and obviously, the price will fall down.

Congratulations to Giannis Antetekoumpo for taking the MVP. There are some people that disagree with this decision but I don't think this is a mistake right? Here is an article saying that Houston Rockets disagree with this decision.

https://sports.inquirer.net/354598/rockets-respectfully-disagrees-with-nba-mvp-outcome
And whose crying there? The voice of those many people who voted for Giannis is bigger than those who questioned this decision, being all around player deserved the award, better luck next time for Harden's fans, as there's no chance anymore to change that as Giannis already won the MVP.

Yeah, I am a fan of Giannis and I really thought they could make it to the Finals but I guess it is still not their time. Giannis deserves this, I don't know why would Houston Rockets still chase this decision since the vote was cast off and I don't think the fans will cheat here. They saw how Giannis plays, they knew him as the MVP.
1932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC getting too expensive to gamble with on: June 27, 2019, 11:54:01 PM
What other cryptocurrency are you using and which casino are you playing at? BTC is getting to expensive to be depositing and playing in just BTC.

You should not worry about how expensive BTC to be used as betting currency. You can also use litecoin, dogecoin or ethereum for betting in some gambling sites.

But if people want to use or gamble using their btcs, you can't do anything about it. There are a lot of people that don't look at the price of bitcoin when they are gambling, price doesn't matter to them since what they want is to gamble and to win a lot of money. If you think of it they will use more btc if the price is high since the stake is high and the profit will be also high.
1933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A new kind of scam in telegram using gambling site on: June 27, 2019, 11:38:16 PM
This should be a nice tip for new investors. There are a lot of people that are wanting to invest in crypto currency and if they are not aware of this kind of scam, they will not be making any money from it. With this people can now be careful on the chats, emails, and advertisements they will be reading. Another thing is that we should really spread awareness of this kind of scam.
1934  Economy / Economics / Re: what will happen to bitcoin in india on: June 27, 2019, 10:55:24 PM
The article appeared in Bloomberg almost one month back, and till now none of the law makers have either confirmed it or rejected it. My understanding is that the steps are still being discussed among the financial advisers to the government, and it may take many months before the legislation gets finalized and sent to the parliament for approval.

As far as I know, they are still talking this to the Reserve Bank of India about this since there is an article about RBI not knowing about the ban and it turns out that the people behind the bans are still not talking to them. The link is below.

Yes man im missing the old world before bitcoin.there was no crime, everyone was happy, respectfully.i dont want to live here anymore with evil bitcoin.

No crime? Are you serious? A lot of people or let's say criminals are taking advantage of the decentralized crypto currency in the past. In fact there are a lot of people that became popular since they are caught in the deep web using btc to sell and buy things there. If you don't want the btc you are seeing right now, you can just leave your btcs.
1936  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best tips for who will invest in BTC for first time? on: June 27, 2019, 01:52:00 PM
These days everyone knows better about Bitcoin but not everyone does smart moves about it. You are right, it seems like Bitcoin price is a bit risky to invest in today.  Couple weeks ago it would be better to start investing.

People should've invested or bought bitcoin in a couple of weeks ago, I mean REALLY! Ever since the price increased to 5-digits, it just continuously pumped and we are so surprised by it. If you are a new investor, you better know that investing in this market is not as easy as you've done like other assets. It is volatile and you should've always stay track of your investment because you will be missing a lot of good points or times to sell your investment.
1937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler was being robbed on: June 27, 2019, 12:28:01 PM
Walking out of a land casino with a stash of cash is very dangerous and will attract the attention of the criminal element. The safest course of action is to ask for a check.

What if people are already tracking you, already following you even before you go in a casino? It is true though that most of the gamblers ask for a check or cheque, what you prefer. I guess we just really need to be careful around and this is the reason why I prefer online gambling sites since no one will follow you and if you know a good way to secure your computer, you are safe.
1938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: June 27, 2019, 12:05:41 AM
The first thing that triggers gambling addiction is victory, "Don't want to lose". Gambling addicts say that, while their defeat is piled up, there is a sense that brings them back to the gambling table for how can that sense of satisfaction be higher than their sacrifice

Isn't that ironic? If you think of it, they chasing more wins, they don't want to lose yet they've won a little and they lose a lot still, they are gambling continuously. They are wasting their money in gambling and that should not be, including their time that they should spend with their family. Gambling should only be for entertainment, to pass time not to spend your time and money carelessly.

1940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: June 26, 2019, 10:30:26 PM
I don’t think so, for me it is okay to let other people know gambling for them to enjoy but just inform them not to be addicted so much because they might lose everything. Gambling has pros and cons so if you want to convince someone to enjoy gambling but don’t want them to be addicted the provide them the pros and cons, let them fully understand gambling.

That is the point. We should not let our friends that we invited to gamble to be addicted because that will be your fault. You should be responsible you have done and take care of that person. It is true that having fun in gambling is possible as long as you know what you are doing and you are not thinking then you can win. That person as a new person in gambling, you should try to control his bets since he might get addicted to it when you are not around.
