The 7th pick for this week will be from the game between   Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Sociedad
This event can be quickly accessed here: https://sportsbet.io/sports/pre-live/soccer-spain-primera-division/deportivo-la-coruna-v-real-sociedad/event/9769431?ref=tipster6
Match:  Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Sociedad
Pick:  Deportivo La Coruna +0
Odds: @ 2.05
Stake: 15.00 mBTC
Potential Win :31mBTC

Home team has always the small advantage. with odds of 2.05 its a value bet with Draw no bet.



Good bet my good man. I bet the +0.5 just to make sure I win the bet. I had the right idea that Deportivo will fight for the win but I predicted the wrong result because I thought they will not be good enough. So the final score is really shocking. It was a good game for them.

if they want to do this, then in my opinion, the price of bitcoins will be fall to deep, because there is too many supply from demand and its not good for bitcoin itself and maybe this will change many people prediction that bitcoin will reach high price in future and could be the other solution for the economic global.

What? Are you mental? Do you know what an increase in block size really means? What does it have to do with the supply of BTC? Nothing.
2283  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin encourage spending and not hoarding on: December 06, 2016, 07:08:08 AM
What most of us who fail to see the real situation is if everyone wants to make people spend their BTC then they must first earn their salaries or business profits in BTC. Most of us here do not have real jobs that earn in BTC except for a few free lance jobs and signature campaigns that does not pay enough. Some people have use fiat to buy BTC so of course they are waiting for it to go up in value.

[Edited to make it more understandable question]
What if all nation use only a one currency or one global currency?, What will happen to our world?, What is the effect of every nation's or every country economy?, It can make people's unite each other?Any opinion. Cheesy

Then I ask you, who controls and distributes this currency? A group of the worlds biggest banks? If thats the case then the world will be worse than it is today because they will manipulate the world's boom and bust cycles by using monetary control. In that world will come a programmer who will use the screen name Satoshi Nakamoto and invent a better type of currency.

Just like banks manipulate fiat currency having bitcoin as the only currency in the world is a dilemma. It will mean one person dominating the whole world financial system and could dictate how financial system works. If that person who has control over all has sympathy to people the it will be advantageous but if he is ruled by greed then it is a mess. We will all suffer and the elites will smile and look down on us.

One person dictating the whole financial system? You dont mean Satoshi dont you? If you really think that then it would be time to step back and learn more about BTC.

To the people who say that we should spend more please point to us where we could spend our BTC on. There really are not that many merchants online and offline that accept BTC. Believe me, a lot of us would love to spend some BTC but theres no good place to spend them to. All the good products can be paid by credit card or cash. So why not use that? It is much easier and I can save BTC at the same time.
2287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Developer of bitcoins core have planing hard fork, do you agree? on: December 05, 2016, 06:38:28 AM
Its about time! Its good that they are open to the increase in block size. It means that they are really looking for a real solution to scale BTC. I am happy with the news and I hope this will close the scaling debate and on for the community to debate on other issues that will bring BTC to new heights.
2288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: December 05, 2016, 06:29:42 AM
Many disapointting matches this week in La Liga. This could prove to be very good for Real Sociedad if he win his match tomorrow versus Deportivo La Coruna. Plus, with an odds at @2.50 for Real Sociedad's win...

Both teams are in badly need of a win but more for Deportivo than Real Sociedad. I dont know how 5th spot in La Liga is important for Sociedad but for Deportivo this is a must win fixture to get themselves out of the relegation spots. They will battle for all 3 points here and the result could be a draw.
2289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 05, 2016, 06:17:45 AM
Eintracht Frankfurt +0.5 is safe pick of the day they are more impressive side and moving forward with good streak that is why I think it will be pretty hard for FC Augsburg to win this match, even they at home ground but they are not constant, so I think there will be draw result for this match.

Thats a good pick. You were also correct in calling out the result of the game. Why didnt you bet on the draw but instead bet on Eintracht Frankfurt +0.5? You would have won much more.
2290  Economy / Speculation / Re: China Curbs Gold Imports on: December 04, 2016, 08:54:01 AM
This would automatically shift demand to digital gold, aka Bitcoin. If that happens, you can expect China to take action restricting purchases of Bitcoin in some time. So a short and quick raise in bitcoin's price would be followed by a dump.  Smiley

Actually yes. How then would China restrict purchases and access to BTC? They can make it harder for their citizens but the cannot do it totally. The Chinese government would have to shut down the internet to do that.

I find it odd that China is restricting gold. Would that mean that they are desperate and they are trying to prevent a financial crisis from happening? If that were the case then wouldnt it be better for them to buy gold as long as it is all stored inside the country?
2291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 04, 2016, 07:24:46 AM
I also have straight bet on RB Leipzig at anfield they are so stronger than Schalke, throughout this season RB Leipzig have very high motivation than it looking good decision to take them straight on bet slip is looking safe at the moment, I'm also quite they will get another 3 points and will be on top position.

Not only are they stronger, they are also very very lucky. The penalty given was a mistake by the referee.There was almost no contact and the ball was already released. Their second goal was again lucky as you clearly seen it was an own goal.
2292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shop in South London quite interested in having a bitcoin ATM on: December 04, 2016, 07:22:13 AM
It's important to point out that owning a Bitcoin ATM has multiple benefits aside from the 5%-10% fee you receive on all transactions.

For one, you are building a savings account of Bitcoins that could multiply in value

Two, you will get listed on Bitcoin ATM Maps

Three, people will come visit your shop to Buy Bitcoins and hopefully buy something else.

On top of all that, you can sell the Bitcoin ATM later and recover much of your initial investment.

It's pretty much a win/win for any shop in a decent location. I drove 20 minutes to a gas station to Buy Bitcoins from their ATM.

That does not really matter because there are way more regular ATM's of the banks around the world. Bitcoiners will not use these BTC ATM's simply because the fees are too high and the price they get for converting is not that good. If they have an emergency then maybe but it would be better for them to borrow money elsewhere than convert their BTC in those ATM's.
2293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shop in South London quite interested in having a bitcoin ATM on: December 03, 2016, 07:00:22 AM
Do people use these BTC ATM's enough to make maintaining them worthwhile? It seems like it is a waste of time and a lost cause. What the whole community should be aiming for is a circular economy for BTC so that we would not need to make conversions to fiat anymore.
2294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 03, 2016, 06:52:45 AM
RB Leipzig vs Schalke this will be much easy encounter to predict about this, RB Leipzig will win this match and now they have advantage of home ground too for that clash, I have my bet on RB Leipzig @2.01 even Schalke is also going nice but I am pretty sure about home team.

That's a very easy bet to make. RB Leipzig has been in form since the start of the season. I am still waiting for their game against Bayern Munich. I am curious in what the odds would be like. I hope they have Leipzig as an underdog.

The 2nd pick for this week will be from the game between   FC Barcelona v Real Madrid
This event can be quickly accessed here: https://sportsbet.io/sports/pre-live/soccer-spain-la-liga/fc-barcelona-v-real-madrid/event/9769429?ref=tipster6
Match:  FC Barcelona v Real Madrid
Pick:  DRAW
Odds: @ 4.1
Stake: 10.00 mBTC
Potential Win :41mBTC

And here we go. The first Super Clasico fo this season. Both teams are not in their performance they wish to be. Barca lose points against small teams and something isnt work there.  I believe Madrid will pressure them and a draw is the requesting pick here.



This is different from what most fans has been saying around here and with those odds it might be a profitable bet. In 5 years how many draws were there when Barcelona and Real Madrid played against each other? Which ones were at home and which ones were away?

I will copy this bet and bet 10 mBTC as well.
2296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Failed to Deliver ? on: December 02, 2016, 07:47:16 AM
Failed to what?

- As payment processor :
@ Majority of users are shifting from centralized payment platform like skrill, neteller, paypal towards bitcoin because they can atleast sleep with relief mind that they will not loss the bitcoin they are holding just like paypal used to froze/ban/limit account without any good reason.

@ Fees for bitcoin transaction is still really lower than any other methods.

- As investment opportunity :
@ If we look at long price trend, bitcoin value have been gradually increased with some ocassional dumps which shows there is chance of getting good profit investing in bitcoin.

- Adoption :
@ It is for sure that adoption of any new tech will take time, even internet banking are not being used by majority of masses that doesn't mean internet banking is failed concept, so bitcoin shouldn't be considered as failed just by judging this soon.

These are the comments of a person in denial. Bitcoin use will not be as widespread as you think. There are some niches for it but it will not be the one where you buy a coffee with it in your favorite coffee shop. That common idea for BTC has failed.
2297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: December 02, 2016, 07:37:01 AM
What is it with the football media? Just because they made a lackluster performance against Hercules they are saying that Barcelona did not have enough intensity. They fail to understand that Luis Enrique made 11 changes because he has to rest his players for El Clasico this weekend.
Yeah it doesnt mean Barcelona will lose in El Clasico, but they should won the game against Hercules, since Enrique put Cilessen, Vidal, Umtiti, Digne, Denis Suarez, Rafinha, Turan, Gomes, and Alcacer into the game, which imo its more than enough for them to get positive result. It has been another proof that they are nothing without Messi.

That is very true. But I'm happy that they are trying to talk down Barcelona. This might improve the betting odds on their side and hopefully enough to make it a worthwhile bet.

For Real Madrid's side, do you think Gareth Bale's injury will have major repercussions in their chance to win against Barcelona?
2298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 02, 2016, 07:33:13 AM
Some injury news. Bayer Leverkusen's Kevin Volland will be out for the rest of 2016 because of a complicated thigh injury. I think he the has potential to be a big star in the Bundesliga one day.

2299  Economy / Economics / Re: China is stocking up on gold on: December 02, 2016, 07:29:40 AM
the economical collapse is something that is more like a hot topic and it always stays a hot topic, like a theory that never happens in reality.
but if this is true and China is really starting to stock up on gold, then it would affect gold price greatly not bitcoin. because it is increasing the demand for gold and also hyping it up at the same time

China as well as Russia has been buying gold in massive amounts for a few years already. So it is an old news really. Why they are doing that is also straightforward enough. They are most certainly moving their reserves from pure currency oriented to mixed type reserves, where currencies such as the US dollar and Euro make only a certain percentage of the grand total. It could be said that they are trying to get away from the possible repercussions should the dollar or euro collapse or get seriously devalued...

In other words, gold is giving them a safety cushion of sorts

Do you think Russia and China are doing this because they are expecting an economic crisis on the horizon? This might sound paranoid but maybe it's possible that they will both try to cause the crisis in order to profit from their gold investment.
2300  Economy / Speculation / Re: Friday, January 20, 2017, let's pay attention to that date on: December 02, 2016, 07:26:15 AM
In my experience, all markets usually respond well in advance to expected and scheduled news and events and only for bomb blast or other calamity incidents market will react on that day.

The recent halving day price levels was big witness to this.

So, the US president sworn-in fluctuations may happen within 2016 itself just based on new government's policies.

I see it the same.
What the new president will do the first few days he has already announced. Leaving TPP won't be a surprise.
Sunday 4th December on the otherhand is something different. It's not clear at all if the Italian reform will go through.
If it does not that could bring serious trouble on the financial markets. And bitcoin would get a raise, most likely.




Am I a bad person for wanting a financial crisis to happen? I know it is selfish but the pending crisis is of their doing and it is out of our control. I will be disappointed if nothing happens and we are back here on Monday talking about something else.
