I think that saving is the better cause investments is always risky, you will never know what you can got at the end, so better to use safe ways.
but if you save in bitcoin it is also possible that you will never know what you can get at the end. LOL.. it is possible that after a month or few month you check bitcoin price and you see bitcoin price dropped like hill..
Investment itself is not a bad thing . but investing in scam, ponzi and fraud sites is bad thing..
we need to determine those scammers and keep ourselves and others away from them. and encourage legit investment sites to come front.
In the first place ponzis and HYIP are not even considered as investment because it is merely a game that the operators win all the time. If you are planning to invest, just simply hold your bitcoins but do not failed to do your duty to monitor the market so you can sell and buy at the right timing.
They are considered as the money suckers, they are just full of promises but the main intention for their operation is just to fool us. They fool us once but never in the second time around, we need to learn on our mistakes as that is the only way to be successful in our investment venture.

Is their any safe methods to gamble? Means without losing much of our money can gamble?

Any tips or suggestions?

People said that high risk means high gain so if you dont risk your money you will not gain anything. there are no safe method on every gambling game. It is just depends on your luck to play
agree, i think not only gambling but all kind of investment and trading are full of risk and you cannot avoid risk in any case, but still you can minimize your risk if you have a good skill with experience.
Definitely, investing is not as easy as it is, it needs a lot of skills and dedication, if you do not know how to take risk you cannot be a good investor and you do not belong to this world. Easy job can give you a little money but we all aim bigger money to enjoy life and we can only do that if we know how to risk.
2283  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why we must trust with bitcoin? on: September 06, 2016, 06:20:54 AM
as most of the people have invested a lot money their assets here and they are trading here for such a longtime therefore we can trust on bitcoin.
Yuhh many investors are choosing bitcoin to invest their money because bitcoin has no fees when you are sending money to your friend or to your love once and i love using bitcoin as the investors does because we can easily grow our bitcoins depends  on what we are doing on it so that i can trust bitcoin.

I agree that investors are trusting bitcoins because they know that they are going to get good profit with it if they are going to trust bitcoin. And it is going to be a good source of income if you are going to trust bitcoin. That is why we must really need to trust bitcoin because it is a good source of income too.
Trusting is nothing if you will not understand what bitcoin can do in the future, this big investors who risk their money for bitcoin knows something that other people does not know, they know that bitcoin has a potential to be wisely use by the people because of the benefits in transaction so they are taking the first step to take the opportunity to invest at a cheaper price.
2284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: September 05, 2016, 12:54:25 PM
Yes right to earn consistent profits in gambling is highly unlikely because it is the only game that can be won and lost. Indeed, there is gambling that requires a strategy such as poker and betting the ball, we should have a strategy to play. But to get rich on gambling is highly unlikely in my opinion the benefits are not consistent. Should not rely on gambling to generate revenue.
For me, we can never be rich in gambling. You are right we can never rely on gambling, yeah because for me gambling is not helping us at all. It is just helping us to waste our money, time and effort. But I think it is also depend on a player also, if you know how to handle your money go continue playing gambling, if that's really makes you happy just don't lose all your money or else you will end up bankruptcy.
Helping is a positive word for me and wasting is a negative, I think if you are wasting your money and you are enjoying gambling then that would make it a positive action. I like to gamble only to have fun and fantasize sometimes to become rich but I always failed.
2285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: September 05, 2016, 12:48:41 PM
Every time you win your brain releases a chemical which is bringing your body an excitement and gradually gamblers develops a carving for it and they continues to play even while losing. because of the fun which gambling is bringing to people, most people can't control it then some of them will lately notice that they already have a consecutive losses .

What kind of chemical is that? Hahaha. I don't read any info regarding this but i'm happy to see this one. I will made a research regarding this matter.

@OP, it gives an unexplainable joy whenever we win in gambling and i think that is natural. Winning  is makes people feel great.
But losing will completely destroy your happiness in an instant, really hard to accept our loses but we need to because we are in gambling but there are people who really wants to fool themselves and a self proclaim winners despite of the losing record. Grin
2286  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: September 05, 2016, 12:46:29 PM
It is allot saver to save your money at the bank because then you know that it is save but with investing you do not have that.
With investing it can always happen that you do not get your money back.

You need to do proper research before investing and if you want to reduce risk then you should invest in different products, and in saving you cannot expect profits in future as you will be holding same amount in future too.
Your patience will be tested would investments that are safe but yield very little in the short term. If you are holding divedend stocks, those are good investments for people who are rather conservative. For those risk takers, there are stocks that are from small startup companies that give yields overnight. But these can be the same with bitcoin in terms of risks associated because any gains you get today can get wiped out if you don't monitor your stocks.
The reality is every investment has a risk, the more the return is promising the bigger the risk. For people who are just living a simple life and are ambitious enough to have a comfortable life in the future, it is just right to take the risk and I mean a bigger risk for a bigger reward, and no other investment for that but bitcoin.
2287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: September 05, 2016, 12:41:18 PM
Does it make sense to believe that Bitcoin could one day be replaced by another cryptocurrency, that is, a cryptocurrency that really does make Bitcoin obsolete?

No this won't happen because bitcoin is already famous world wide and millions of people is using this coin. If it has to be replaced by other coin then only way is  there That is to launch another coin and wait till that coin gets famous like bitcoin.

I think so. The bitcoin is the most popular digital coin now. If there is no big bug in the development, it will stiil be the number one coin.

The popularity of bitcoin is limited to digital world, not everyone knows about bitcoin but when it comes to crypto currency I think bitcoin is the best and it has no competition around.

For the time being, it has no competition. But in the future, it will have some competion. Examples are the Ethereum and Monero.
There will be no competition because they are created with a unique features and people who supported eth may not support monero, one thing for use we will have a variety of choices in the future that can give us more convenience for online transactions.
2288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People hate Bitcoins? on: September 05, 2016, 12:33:06 PM
Many of them have tried to spread negative news about bitcoin and once it is in low value, they can buy it and wait for it to rise again, so that way they sometimes have some profit, this manipulation occurs in every market worldwide.

Yeah people keep on spreading negative news related to bitcoins and people who don't enough knowledge gets panic and sell at lower price and big whales makes best use of it.
though we definitely cannot avoid it in my opinion and we shouldnt do it at all because there will always be haters on bitcoin
Haters always be haters but we do not need them because we only need the people who have an open mind and are willing to change for the better, bitcoin is always giving us a good benefits if we know and understand how to use it, bitcoin as investment is already an opportunity that we have to grab now.
2289  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin worth to you or not... on: September 05, 2016, 09:04:52 AM
Bitcoin is worth it for me other wise I would not be here at the moment, Bitcoin is a great way to make some extra money.
Next to my normal day job Bitcoin is perfect as a secondary income.
I agree with you on that matter, it is always good to have some extra earnings. However, we need to more ambitious because there are many opportunities if we will just open our eyes, we can even quit our job and focus only in bitcoin as it can give us more chance to be rich than our normal job.
2290  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: September 05, 2016, 09:00:59 AM
If i need to choose between these two i would say give me gold but how many gold because bitcoins are 600 dollar each and gold is just around the 30/40 dollar each gram so i cant say what i would pick right now i need to think about,
If it will just be given to you then it is proper not to choose, just receive whatever give as it is a blessing and it is money, whatever we choose as long as we feel comfortable investing with it then we are good to go, they have their own benefits and risk so we need to understand that.
2291  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?! on: September 05, 2016, 08:49:37 AM
Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?!

Because they are a jealous bunch, most of them are butt hurt because they missed the boat and don't have enough money to buy lots of BTC. So they dream about $1 Bitcoin and how they'll buy thousands if that happens.

Yeah i agree with you bro. Some other people says negatively about bitcoin because they never believe the bitcoin, they don't trust on how bitcoin can change the lifestyle of people, they don't have any good features on bitcoin, thats why they think negatively. But panic selling of bitcoin is not an alarming. Because we really trust bitcoin. It will never be dead as what they think.
Can't blame them because they might have a bad experience in bitcoin or they cannot comprehend the procedure on how to use it, that is actually already expected because we cannot please everyone and those who use bitcoin are only those people who are open minded and can easily understand its value.
2292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: September 05, 2016, 08:05:00 AM
To stay away from gambling, you should have a conviction that you will really not do gambling anymore. You should involve yourself in beneficial activities to take away your mind from gambling. Maybe you have a sport that you really like then convert your attention to that and focus in to it because maybe when you're lucky then you can join some competitions. Spend time with your loved ones because surely you lost a lot of time when you are still addicted to gambling so make the most of it. If possible, let someone handle your funds so that when you have an urge to gamble again, you cannot do so because you cannot freely access your funds.

I agree to this that in order for you to free from gambling, you need to do something as its replacement. However, always make it sure that the one you are replacing with gambling is something more meaningful and productive. That way, your life will be worth spent and happy. That is what we want after all, to pursuit happiness here in this world.
Double your time in working would give you a good benefits rather than in gambling, with working there are no risk involve and one thing will only happen which is you will be rewarded by your hard work, if you have to take some break for your leisure time, never do gamble anymore.
2293  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoins safe? on: September 05, 2016, 07:58:54 AM
It all depends on how you carry them. If you hold the private key then I would say you are safe from losing your wallet.
I would suggest investing in a hardware wallet if you have fear in someone online hacking into you bitcoin wallet whether it be a web wallet or a client on your pc.
That way you know they are safely secured.
That is safe in terms of keeping your pin/password privately but i do not think it will safe to store a lot of money in bitcoin wallet because you will take high risk on that we do not have any assurance if there something bad happen we will recover our bitcoin.
You have no choice but to trust bitcoin on that, you have to take the risk because you are keeping your money in the bitcoin wallet because you are investing, that is why we must ensure that what we keep is the amount we can afford to lose because bad thing can also happen and bitcoin might be worthless in the future.
2294  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin replaces the money? Could happen? on: September 05, 2016, 07:44:00 AM
Unlikely that the money we replaced of bitcoin . Because the money is moving and alive in many people today . If you do not have money you can buy food and things you need in life . Especially those far from having known bitcoin . In our more gadgets using the kata they know bitcoin . So it can not be changed to bitcoin .

I don't think so, because simply Bitcoin is already money, we can easily exchange it with fiat and even its having the price increasing and its growing up daily, and it can be used as real currency
Without fiat we cannot enjoy our bitcoins, we are just dependent with the fiat and the value of bitcoin matters with what is the current market of fiat, this two will be vital for the success of the people in the community, the real benefits in using bitcoin is just to spend and transact in a very fast and cheap manner.

if you want rich your must follow doing taipan
this taipan always investment and growth money
money is work taipan, not taipan work to money
What taipan are you talking about? I am sorry dude I did not get what you are trying to say maybe you have to carefully translate it to English if you are using google translate, I am sorry no offense, I am just trying to maintain a healthy discussion here.
2296  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: September 05, 2016, 07:24:50 AM
Answer to your title: YES. You used the word long term and I firmly believe in the long term bitcoin will go up pretty high, hence why I am investing most of my savings into the coins just so i can reap the profits LONG TERM Smiley

1 btc is good amount to hold for long term, but the only thing comes to my mind is why to keep it idle, its better to trade with them and if you succeed then you will be holding more then 1 btc for sure.

Maybe it is riskier to do trading than just holding it for a long time and wait for the profit. Trading can be profitable if done by someone who has knowledge and experience. But for newbies, it can be quite terrifying to do. You can make a wrong trade and you can lose everything. But you are right, if you have the right set of skills, it is better if you just trade your 1BTC than keep it idle for a long time.
Both are risky but depends on your capability to manage your investment, there are people who are good in trading as they can predict the price movement of the market and they have master it overtime so there is no problem with them, while holding your bitcoins does not requires a lot of knowledge.
Me, I would only focus in holding my bitcoins if after many tries I failed in trading, you know it is very good to earn bitcoin regularly through trading but with lack of skills you have to accept the reality that you are not meant to that kind of venture.
2297  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bank or Bitcoin Wallet? on: September 05, 2016, 07:21:03 AM
I personally use both, I'm saving bitcoin to sell at highest price, and I'm saving fiat currency into the bank to buy bitcoin at a lower price.
That's why I believe that both have important roles in different situations.
of course, I agree with you. both have advantages and disadvantages of each. by keeping both of us can have a better future as well.
because both are also needed, required under the conditions that we experience.
Without bank there will be a chaos around, bank is the legitimate business from the government for us to save our money, there are regulated by the government laws to protect its depositor, with that alone we are feeling secured with our money, bitcoin wallet is only good when you have an amount of money for investment that you are going to use anytime you want.
2298  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: September 05, 2016, 06:27:50 AM
For me, it's better to invest your money into something like invest on bitcoin. Save money is also good, but investment is more good in my opinion, you can earn profit on invest.
Investment is better as you can grow your money even in a short period of time, however in doing that you need to accept the risk and possible outcome that you might also lose, anything can happen in your investment as it is like a gambling. You will not need to invest all your savings and you should set aside the amount you might need for future expenses.
2299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: September 05, 2016, 05:43:43 AM
I think Marcus Morris will put in a lot of work for the wizards. It's true they have high expectations since they have some big-money players, such as Beal and Wall, so the pressure will certainly be on. I think the core of Morris, Wall, and Beal could be enough to solidify a playoff spot, maybe a 6-7th seed in the playoffs. I'd call it a successful season if the wizards can win one playoff series.
I think it is Markieff you are talking about. The other Morris (Marcus) is currently with Detroit. I am not sure if that trio would be enough to carry them to the playoffs, even if you add Marcin Gortat to that. Even if they can stay healthy, a lot of other teams in the East are hungry for a postseason run. Detroit, Milwaukee, Indiana, New York are among the teams I am expecting to make the playoffs this season. Boston and Atlanta are still solid while the Cavs and Raptors are still among the top teams in the East. Makes me wonder where the Wizards are going to find themselves by April.
I think I will be seeing another rematch for the Raptors and Cavaliers in the east finals, raptors have experienced already and they have proven that they can compete with the cavaliers, I am excited to see them play again and maybe we will be seeing a series that will go to game 7, who knows if raptors will upset the cavaliers.
2300  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: September 05, 2016, 05:33:34 AM
Besides, Bitcoin is an invisible gold and do not be restricted by the customs.

Very good point! This basically allows you to bring more than 10k in "cash" around the glob in your pocket without customs having a chance to find out.. Can potentially be problematic though, helping illegal transactions.
Yes, but what if you had to leave Nazi Germany II and had to leave all your physical possessions behind?  Your bitcoin could be with relatives in another country before you even arrived.  Criminals are going to use whatever money is most convenient.   Can't help that.  You can help make it better for those good people who would benefit from bitcoin.
that's the only downside of it making it popular because of negative use but if we change our points of view it is really much easier to hold bitcoin instead of bringing cash inside your pocket.
But still you no one can ban bitcoins because criminals will just use it, money laundering also happen in fiat so there is no exemption if anyone is willing to use a certain currency for criminality, I am pretty sure innovation will happen in the future to strengthen the security measures.
