1941  Economy / Economics / Re: What's it like to live on crypto instead of Banks? on: June 26, 2019, 09:56:17 PM
Cryptocurrency give more than 200% from the banks because it will give the profit with the income also so that it will be more than anything especially when we are investing in something also we cannot get the profit like the Crypto investment.

Cryptocurrency is an investment in that point and obviously, it will give you a lot of percentage than banks since banks will not give you profit by putting there your money, you can earn some money but not that much money. The difference that cryptos give us is not in the profits but in the way we transact our cryptos, that is what we call decentralization.
1942  Economy / Economics / Re: Repeating of all time high has begun on: June 26, 2019, 09:41:46 PM
It seems we are getting back to the period in 2017 where every minute bitcoin price kept rising and rising. I am curious to see which level we can reach  Smiley

I guess not that much since I know for sure that there will be a time that it will first go back or fall down for a little bit and then just sky rocket again. I guess in that time when we will be seeing another ATH. The price is still not that high conparing to ATH but in terms of what happened, this is a great movement.
1943  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The difference between the Facebook platform "LIBRA" and Bitcoin on: June 26, 2019, 01:23:44 PM
Can the launch of cryptocurrency Facebook can be a factor for the growth of Bitcoin? It is not excluded, since investments mainly in large currencies are made using Bitcoin. And I think Facebook is no exception.

The reason a lot of crypto currencies existed is because bitcoin existed. Without bitcoin and the Blockchain technology, crypto currency is not possible. That is the same with the coin which will be released by Facebook but it is not made using bitcoin. As far as I know, Libra is not that decentralized as bitcoin so in terms of that, I will always choose bitcoin.
1944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any knows the mathematical formula to winning the lottery? on: June 26, 2019, 11:59:57 AM
In my opinion,i would advise everyone that intends gambling or already gambling to do it fun without any expectation of winning because in the end, no one ever wins and no strategy or formula ever works, so I see reason for that.

I think this depends on the game that you are playing. Luck is a big part of gambling but there are some games that actually can be won with strategies and analysis. It is still debate but for me, Poker is one of them, including sports betting. Luck is needed in poker but skills come first before you rely on your luck, in terms of sports betting, analysis is needed.
1945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why casinos want you to stay long in their area on: June 26, 2019, 11:39:36 AM
Well, if you are a person with a lack of training with your emotional intelligence then Casinos could take advantage of your weakness and will make your greed fire more. Casinos are made to be profitable and the free drinks and foods are part of their capital. Even though, we can tell
that the casino's investment for free foods are so low compared to what they earn from the rollers and gamblers.
Casinos will always take advantage with you if you are the type of gamblers where limitations is not being practice properly, with how casinos project and treated their players it's always part of the business strategy, they wanted you to stay and do the best that they can to make you feel better while inside the house.

If you are smart enough to ignore or decline their want for you to stay in the gambling area, they will make other offers like a room you can rent or a dinner you can buy to them so just they can take back some of the money you've won. They all have their business strategies, they are running a business so what they do is for their business.
1946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you find Success in Gambling? on: June 26, 2019, 11:00:28 AM
It seems to me that success can be achieved in other kinds of activity, but not in gambling.  Most likely, gambling needs luck, a sufficient amount of excitement and experience.  You can win in gambling, but you can not put it on the conveyor.

Obviously, there are a lot of things you can do and you can be successful out with, gambling might be one but I think that will be so hard. There are a lot of successful gamblers but still, most of them lost a lot of money in gambling. Some used gambling as a stepping stone though that did not work out with others. Also, gambling doesn't really or fully need luck, there are times that it can be connected to skill and experience like some skill-based games like sports betting and poker.
1947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Just another gambling strategy! on: June 26, 2019, 10:28:29 AM
Oh well, I've tried this one. But not worked all the time. I think the system know the strategies we are doing and they can read all our steps. Sometimes they are following you with their reds and I have experienced the most fear in gambling in which I lost all my fund. 30 reds in a row. I can't believe there are so many reds like that. Lol.
When you are already suffering from continuous loses you are unaware that things still possible to happen, not expecting to got that too many reds is just an indication that you are already engaged too much, lots of stories like this and same results, losing all your bankroll as you got out of control.

Not all I guess, we all have diffferent endings of the stories and I have some points wherein I am winning when I should've lost. It is not impossible at that time since my friend bet on my part and said if I won I can take it and I did and I won in 5 streaks then lost then won again in 3 streaks after that I go home, though I lost again the next day. Strategies are great but we can't always base our money into our luck.
1948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Attack on Bitcoin on: June 23, 2019, 11:13:51 PM
Seeing the title I thought these "attackers" will be having a huge amount of bitcoin and they are planning to sell them in the upcoming pump so the price will plummet down, but this is not it. I think if this is not quantum computers, then we have no problem since as far as I know the only type of computer that is a threat to btc is still not invented which is the quantum computer.
1949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the reason Amazon hasn't adopted Bitcoin? on: June 23, 2019, 10:54:54 PM
Maybe if Amazon accepts bitcoin then there will be some big companies like visa and mastercard will be harmed because there are no more consumers who shop using the services they provide, besides if Amazon accepts bitcoin then they will also not be used by people living in a country which prohibits the use of bitcoin, obviously it will not be so profitable they will choose to use conventional payment methods using a credit card.

Well, they might have other reasons. We know that there are some transaction fees and in terms of an online shop, you must be used by that. Imagine if you are owning an online shop and a lot of people ordered but then they want a refund, what you will do is to return the payment they paid you, though as I said, the fees will be a problem. You did not just lose via refund you also lose a fee, it will be better if that is just few, but they are not.
1950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: June 23, 2019, 10:32:01 PM
Let's leave trade talks at the moment. What do you guys think of the new bloods next season? Pelicians became an interesting team again after selecting Zion as their first pick. Interesting young line up with that team. Nuggets also got a big young man in bol bol.

The trade talks plus this new players are spicing things up even more. If the nuggets can keep their team intact for the next season, they may reach the west finals. The Pelicians may look exciting with their young and athletic team but I think they'll fall short and not rrach playoffs.
Experience does matter and only good teams that performs or plays well do have that chance on getting some slot on the playoffs.
Next season would really be an interesting one because we would see these young players which do have actually the talents that are really capable.

They are all talented and so amazing players! even they are young players next season is more interesting to watch as always.

They are playing their whole life, they are dedicated to the Sports and obviously, they are all amazing players. A lot of people are looking and hoping to the players within the higher picks, I hope they are not the same with the past when most of this players did not do well in the season. Free agents and new players, another season, another champion?
1951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why casinos want you to stay long in their area on: June 23, 2019, 10:09:13 PM
Well, they run their business seriously and they will do anything to earn money. This might be a bad way to run your business for some people but most of them do this. I remember the part of the movie Percy Jackson here when they are in the casino for a long time and they can't track time, the foods and the drinks offered to them has drugs that let them have fun in there for some time, that is horrifying knowing someone was stuck there since the 90s.
1952  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is really hopeful about the future of Bitcoin and why? on: June 23, 2019, 02:30:39 PM
Investors and traders are people who hope that the price of Bitcoin will increase sharply in the future, so that at this time Smart Investors will buy and hold their Bitcoin for the future.

Well, there are no other people who hope for the future of bitcoin but us investors and traders. The price of it will be the teller of how much we will be earning in the near future. I think this will happen since there are a lot of investors out there and I think they are just waiting for the price to pump, just like what is happening these days.
1953  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Scams are a global issue on: June 23, 2019, 01:59:45 PM
Yes, we need regulatory bodies to step in so that scam will be forgotten in crypto world. A lot of projects have free hand because they are not under any regulation whatsoever. Therefore, in order to stop scam, these bodies most be put in place.

I think this depends on that certain country whose government wants to protect their citizens who use crypto currencies especially bitcoin. In terms of countries that btc is banned like China or maybe India in the next months, they don't need to do that since they already banned it, they don't need any of the protection for crypto scams. In terms of countries that regulated Bitcoin, I guess they really need to spread the awareness of it but I think if someone is an investor of crypto currencies or bitcoin, they should be able to know the scams and the legitimate projects if they don't. they can just ask certain people that can identify the difference.
1954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Solved! on: June 23, 2019, 12:37:49 PM
That is a lot of ways and solutions to find Satoshi and in the end, we can't still say who he really is. Does it matter who really Satoshi Nakamoto is? No, then why are people still on the hunt? Even if that is really his Citizenship, we don't know 100% if that is really him, as others say, he might be an immigrant and we might be mislead by another article.
1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers needs to control their emotion! on: June 23, 2019, 12:15:36 PM
Yes, it is very good to control their emotion even in both cases, either winning or losing because of many people will get into panic and start investing more into gambling after losing. Controlling their emotions is more important when it comes to gambling.

The most important thing about gambling is the way you use your money. Can you even afford to gamble in the first place? If you don't then don't gamble at all. Despite you winning some of your games since let's be honest, we usually lose than we win, you will be losing a lot of money and it is better if you keep your distance in gambling. You should know better.
1956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: June 22, 2019, 11:17:09 PM
Only if everyone in this world bored of it.

I guess people got the same interest even after hundreds of years then it will still continue for many more years.
No one can stop gambling it was only yourself even if governments will not allowed any people to gamble well they can do it on there selves. They can also gamble in their houses without the government permission. People are doing what their wants even there is a law on it. Well, I believe that gambling will only ends when the world also ends.

Well, the government can't stop gambling. As far as I know there are a lot of bans from every country about that but people are still gambling so instead of them giving them a hand of steel, they gave them freedom. They let people gambling and be responaible for themselves but also, as far as I know, the government also get something from these with the taxes these casinos are paying. It won't end, gamblers even are having a hard time stopping.
1957  Economy / Economics / Re: What are some not so obvious things that damage a country's economy? on: June 22, 2019, 07:56:21 PM
I somewhat agree here. But games have been around for centuries. Before smartphones, people were also playing games all day or lazing around. Or even gambling all their lives away, drinking/smoking non stop. I would even say playing games all day is less harmful than those things. I do think kids especially waste too much time online, draining resources and not contributing back at all. But if you think about it, would you rather they take drugs?

So you would let them play all day out without doing anything? You would be saying that it is better for them to play rather than to be productive and help his family or his country? It is true that it is better for them to play than to gamble but if they continue, they won't be knowing the hardship of having a job and that might turn them into drug or alcohol addicts.
1958  Economy / Economics / Re: ASIAN CRYPTO FRIENDLY COUNTRIES on: June 22, 2019, 06:49:55 PM
How about Philippines? It might not be that popular to people but bitcoin is regulated in our country. The government supports the use of it and there are even multiple of local exchanges in our country. We can't fully use bitcoin since some place can't support it but I think we are also a crypto friendly country.
1959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling sites needs to be a mobile friendly or not? on: June 22, 2019, 01:34:35 PM
For me it is much more better if the gambling site was mobile friendly since people now a days was very friendly on mobile they cant live without it especially to the teenagers what I mean is that it is better when we can gambling everywhere since phone was not heavy and not huge to be with everywhere.

I think we should limit these sites to just adults or gamblers since we should not tolerate these teenagers to gamble. I mean it is true that a lot of teenagers can't live or breath now without their mobile phones but we should not make them as examples especially with gambling. Though the problem here is that there are a lot of content creators from Facebook to YouTube that advertise these kinds of sites so teenagers gambling is inevitable, I just hope even if a site is mobile-friendly, they are strict with age requirement.
1960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any knows the mathematical formula to winning the lottery? on: June 22, 2019, 01:07:05 PM
And this I dont think there is a person who can do it. It was like impossible to me. I didn't know there is like this but as some or few person are genius well if they can thats true why should they tell it to somebody else if they can enjoy it on their self and get the benefits on it. In my own opinion there is no person can do a mathematical formula to win in gambling, it was strategy and a combination of luck.

Well, in the past there are some people that started their formulas and we all know what happened to them, they lost a lot of money. We all know that if this is possible, a lot of people would be already millionaires because of gambling, there are that became millionaires but not because of that formula but because of their skills and experience.
