2301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you store your bitcoins? on: January 02, 2017, 05:59:21 PM
I will be getting a hardware wallet in the near future because bitcoins are worth more than $1000 a coin now so they are more valuable than ever! Grin
Maybe the ledger nano or even the trezor if they ever come down in price. Wink

Hardware wallets are not a necessity. If you just create a paper wallet containing the private keys it will be more than secure enough assuming you take the right precautions. Same basically goes up for storing your digital wallet files in USB sticks. These methods are free since everyone has a printer and USB sticks at home. I am sure you just want to try out a hardware wallet for the fun, otherwise you would have bought it already (regardless of the BTC price).
Storing your wallet file on a USB stick is different than a hardware wallet. You can still use hardware wallets on infected pc's -which isn't possible with a USB stick- because the private keys never leave the hardware wallet. But if you're careful they can indeed be as safe but much cheaper Smiley
Honestly it is not safe to use usb stick to save our private keys or wallet.. because there is possbility that usd stick can be destroyed or damaged if you do not use it.. just like my 7 usb stick out of 9 usb stick the 2 still alive but the 7 cant be use and not detected on pc or laptop..
It means those usb stick is not safe..
2302  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: January 02, 2017, 05:57:09 PM
We all know that buying drugs with bitcoin is not a good concept an idea. And I knew also that majority of the bitcoin enthusiast is not doing this things maybe few of them only. But as much as possible we shouldn't do this kind of a thing neither try it.
That's a humanity. They couldn't find any better way where to spend bitcoin, no they buy drugs with it. That is just awful. Bitcoin is life to me. Around a month ago I left my work and now I get payment from my campaign and that is not bad money that helps me to cover my necessary costs.
Using Bitcoin in illegal activities are great for the people that are bad. It is pseudo anymous and probably a way that they want. I hope a lot of people does use Bitcoin for LEGAL activities. How much did you get for it. I hope it supports you in you daily activities.

Usin bitcoin in illicit activities such as drug trade, money laundering, gun for hire and the different kinds of illegal activities will soon be stopped.

The European Union is already making a move to combat this illegal transactions that hides in cryptocurrencies. They are creating a task force to monitor and put into jail the culprits that works underground using blockchain technology.
If EU would succesfuly find a way to find or trace those transactions in bitcoin then anonymity features of bitcoin would be no more and i just cant believe that this thing would possibly happen in bitcoin but we cant still be assured if EU would be succesful on this kind of mission.It would be a good idea to stop those illegal doings but anonymity will be compromised.

I never support the idea of buying drugs, lower ones like cannabis or big ones like cocaine. That is a fixed idea of mine which will never change.

Having said that EU surely will have a hard time trying to find a way to trace these transactions specifically. That is because in the dark net in the dark markets people know very well how to protect themselves there as they know what they are doing. EU is not a threat in my view.

However people should stop using bitcoin to buy drugs and stop buying drugs at all.
I thnk if you are just using your laptop without vpn yo ucan be still traceable even you are using bitcoin..
Same here that i can not support that kind of way to buy illegal drugs that honestly it can be bad image for bitcoin..
There is many part that they can use and deal in dark market places using vps and their wallet there just to sure that they are safe than they using their own laptop or computer better to use the vps. but i hope that we can also have safety ways here in online that they can be still get those drug dealers and buyers with the support of online wallets. or developer of other wallet.
2303  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: January 02, 2017, 05:52:30 PM
Bitcoins are a great store of value but that doesn't mean that you should never sell, look what happened to the people that used to say "house prices will never go down" they lost the lot.

Just use bitcoins as an everyday currency, buy a few things online, a debit card for in store purchases and save the rest just as you would with normal fiat cash. This really only works best if you are currently receiving your pay check in bitcoins to start with but if not there are a few good companies that will handle the trade for you each week/fortnight.

I have never sold any bitcoin to get fiat. I just use it to buy things.

The problem is, in some country there are only few stores that accept bitcoin directly.  So the next option will be exchanging bitcoin to fiat to spend it for regular needs.   One example is here, in my country there is a service that let us pay for our bills, load credit to our mobile phones, they accept bitcoin but the rate is less than 3.5% of the actual buy price of bitcoin so we have no choice but to accept it to let us use our Bitcoin to our daily needs.
I can relate on your situation on there pal since we live on the same country i suppose on which our local wallet provider does really give those service on its users.We dont really have any option since its the only way to use our bitcoin and also the way to encash or exchange it on our local fiat currency.
I think we are all in the same country which is we can also pay for our monthly bills but not only that thing we can also buy and shopping online they are adding new features like buying domains buying in purse.. you can shop accessories in newegg. that honestly it can help for those other bitcoin user to spend their bitcoin.. i am waiting to get their debit card or physical debit since they are already release a vcc virtual credit card visa they can use it to connect in paypal to shop in other website..  so we can use bitcoin right now and connect with paypal if you can not buy with bitcoin you can depositing your vcc and connect to paypal and shop what you want in online..
2304  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think BTC will hit 2000 USD feb 17 on: January 02, 2017, 05:48:32 PM
We are not fortune teller to tell if it will hit or not.. but for me my own prediction i think 2k usd is impossible to happen in february..
I just relaying what is the movement from 2015-2016 so i think this month we will experience also a big crash..
2305  Economy / Economics / Re: Guy loses 240-600 BTC trying to short on: January 02, 2017, 05:46:58 PM
Why would anyone want to short when it is obvious that it is going to up from the beginning of the year? Roll Eyes
That is a no brainer because that's what it does every year then it goes down in February or mid-month here after.
Come on now, some people especially when trading volume so high should use their brains. Roll Eyes

That pattern will die as soon as enough people notice it.
People will start buying in December and sell it in January to take advantage of the price increase.
When that happens, the price will start falling in January.
I just also feel that the price can be fall in this month.. but there is no proof or reason that the price will crash soon..
Well for me i just relaying what is the movement from last year.. since bitcoin is gradually developed and many company are using bitcoin
It is hard to predict if the price can be fall..
So i think they are just wrong in prediction but they must monitor the movement and not short all of their holdings just few percentage. and buy if the price will goes down if not better to the rest and wait for timing..
2306  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you believe in god? on: January 02, 2017, 05:41:54 PM
Anything the other what they said for me i am still believing in god.. there is no a problem in believing to god. for me much better to believe even i don't see them or even some of my wishes still not granted i still believe in god.. because do you think where our soul will go after death?
So i think there is 2 direction of the souls heaven or hell.. so if you are not believing in god i think you will be directly your soul into hell..
Also how earth been made all in this world and galaxy? who do you think who made to them?

https://aimbtc.com Official collapse?HuhHuhHuh?
Another HYIP many newbies are already experience of scam.. better to always ask if the site is legit or not that honestly almost all investment site are scammers they are run after you invest.. better to stay away from those any HYIP site because you are just wasting your bitcoin..
2308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price. Whats your prediction? on: January 02, 2017, 05:34:36 PM
I think the price can be still push at $1100 the movement price to the highest still not finish yet since many adoption will come this year.. like other said and company they are adding more feature for their service and i think we are seen already more bitcoin user are investing and believing in bitcoin because before they are not believe in bitcoin that is why the price is crashing..
2309  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: History charts on: January 02, 2017, 05:32:26 PM
Why don't you try this chart https://blockchain.info/charts almost all you need is there to follow the movement of bitcoin..
Coinmarket cap is one of the good chart but less information but good to use for checking other altcoin in rankings.
2310  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I have 5K€ to invest ! on: January 01, 2017, 06:43:27 PM


It's not better not to invest, it is better to invest in good and legit things and not in the ponzi/scam things.
But because of the high risk that is on investment we hesitate to invest in something unless we belive and hope for a profit.
Yes, a lot of scam there who are will give promises but instead of investing to them just buy bitcoin and let it grow.
Just set goals if you are lacking financially, what I mean is, you can set aside some of your money every month to buy bitcoin 'till you can make even 1 bitcoin.

I understand your point and it's good to be optimistic on investing something and to be patient too.
Personally I have set my goal to hold the bitcoins as long as possible until one day if I need money urgently then I would sell.
Much better i think if you use bitcoin to scaling up.. because the movement of the price is not stable and i think you can increase the amount of your money if you buy low and sell high for minute traders.. or hourly traders. the movement of the price of bitcoin is fast and there is high spikes..
So in order to make a good profit just invest it in bitcoin if the price was increase even a little bit that actually you already made a profit you can sell and wait soon to buy bitcoins again and wait for the price increased..
2311  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: January 01, 2017, 06:33:21 PM
I predict $1000 US tonight, like in the next 7 hours.

i think the price will not be $1000 US but lets hope it will be happen tonight. i see on the chart in poloniex market, the line is going to be stagnan or maybe it will get down in a moment before its break another price and increase high.
Honestly we are now nearly touch according to movement of bitfinex price hits $999 and i think few more hours or days that we can touch in $1k vlaue soon and i hope that it can stay long in that value so that the price can be stay at that price and i think more people and company are using bitcoin that is why we are seeing the price was increased..
2312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: January 01, 2017, 06:29:38 PM
I just came from a real gambling place, and I like playing online more, I feel like I have a chance of winning. I just lost money last night in the casino, but it's okay. Both are okay it's just that one requires more effort than the other. I just don't like the smoke flowing but you can't stop that right?

It doesnt matter whatever that you choose because it is the same however incase it is a provably fair site then you can check wether or not the game is fair. Im not saying that real casino is unfair however you cant prove that they are fair either so it is still much better to have the ability to check if it is fair or not

It may looked that real casino's are fair or also does have provably fair system but it is the reality that both of them are business. Both of them have always the advantage to get profit from their gamblers loss. But what matters is the gambling experience that you are probably getting from any of them, but for me the best experience so far since I went to real casino yesterday, I will say it is giving more good gambling experience

Your experience doesnt matter at all as well, if you could win in either real or online casino then it doesnt matter whichever sites you play. Although I do know that there is a lot of fun in playing in a real casino however as long as I can win wherever I bet then that thing doesnt matter atleast for me
Well we are not all the same for me there is different for real gambling or not unlike online games that you did not know how they are made the dice game as in example that we do not know if there is inserted program or script about the game that is why it is hard to win in that game.. unlike real gambling that you can see the game the movement of every cards if there is provably fair or not.. and its more enjoyable if you are in real gambling.
2313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do any people gamble under the age of 18? on: January 01, 2017, 06:20:30 PM
i do not know about it , i think may be there is ..
because users bitcoin there is under the age 18 too  Smiley
yes i think in every country in every society there must be people who are under the age of 18 but still they play gambling. although the government are making different planing and strategies to stop them playing gambling but still they find way to continue playing gambling.
This is really hard to stop on making those young people to make them avoid to play gambling because we all know there are lots of ways to play gamlbing online and even offline without being caught by the government and no matter how they ban gambling but still they could able to play and thats why some dont bother at all already since they cant completely stop it.
Well i think it is also the problem of their parents why they are not watching the activity of their children  if what they are doing online..
Honestly i am also gamble before when i was young.. but not so addicted i am  just trying my self and maybe i am lucky but i am not always gamble just to chase my loses. i just gamble for fun..
2314  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1/1/2017 Say hello to $1000 on: January 01, 2017, 06:16:28 PM
I think we are still not touching in $1k value according to bitcoinwisdom in bitfinex the price was touch in $999 nearly $1k value but we are still in 900 level..  that i hope sooner can be touch soon..
I could not imagine that the price will touch in $1k value too early or this month..
2315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: January 01, 2017, 06:11:04 PM
You can't really tell how many but you could just estimate. It's all about that like the human population, it's hard to say the actual number. You can't count your hair but you could estimate. It increases everyday for sure, some maybe just use it for business but not always being used.

It's not only difficult to name up the exact number of people that are using Bitcoin, but another difficult point is what people think a Bitcoin user is. Is it someone that is using Bitcoin once or twice a week, is it someone that is using Bitcoin at least once a month... I think the closest point where we can get an answer to that, is when wallet services, exchanges, gambling sites, etc, bundle their power to share user information with each other to come up with a number. It won't be fully accurate, but at least much more accurate than all the guesses we find here.

Exactly, I do not know if someone have mentioned it before but it is a very ambiguous question and as was mentioned by the guy above, if we consider in which period, can be(hours,days, month, and so on)  add commonness, etc, so having said that, everybody can estimate the level of use approximately and see if more people are using this or not, one is to see the statistics of the network, for example the volume and quantity of daily transactions in different periods of time.
   

I think you can not be still estimate even you are counting the daily transaction from the blockchain we can not consider the amount of daily transaction will be the same number of bitcoin users.. how about for other that actually not using bitcoin for daily transaction and they are dealing for a long time before they are receive or send bitcoin..
You can not determine how much people are using bitcoin because many people are using using multiple accounts. .
2316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you consider trading as gambling? on: January 01, 2017, 05:49:39 PM
When you are having fun, you do not think of your loses as you can afford what you have spent.

If you just want to have fun and lose you should better be considering to try the free version of the game as some sites actually offer the free to play version and you can have fun as long as you like. I wonder why people gamble with real money and have fun with it when they lose, I should just consider spending my money for drinks and stuff which I can have fun with
its quite enjoyable when you are placing some amount of money mate i know free game also enjoyable but its not that exciting like when you are placing some money on it, most gamblers are enjoying when they are seeing that the bet are in the winning streak or feeling nervous when the bet is going to the other side.
Yeah there is different feelings when you are gamble with money involve than no bets.. that honestly its enjoyable but the excitement is different when you gamble or not..
Trading we can say that trading is business because if you are really gamble you will lose without  recovering nothing.. unlike in trading that you can be still sell what you are buying if the price is getting low you can be still those altcoin r if you believe that altcoin can be still increase back soon you can be still hold it and wait for the price increase.. ..
2317  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for a job! on: January 01, 2017, 05:28:46 PM
40 cents an hour? Mate that's not a job, that's slavery.
Not when you're living in the 3rd World Country Shithole.0.001 an hour and working 10 hours a day would make you enough money to survive a month. 
This is very true and we should not look down too much on those amount because it maybe small for some but when you are living on 3rd world country you will eventually survive on that amount as Joel_Jantsen said.
To OP 0.001 isnt hard to earn on bitcoin world captcha would not really get this amount on a short period of time.I would rather focus on my skills if you do have one which is valuable on this forum.0.001 is a piece of cake,

Not enough when you have a family to feed. I'm from a 3rd world country as well.  0.001 btc an hour is not enough.
With all the expenses needed, you'd be force to rob a bank else your family dies hungry. you can't pay electric and water bills, house rent and everyday food supply with just 0.001 an hour.
I think op is not planning to use his earnings in bitcoin and  think he just want to hold the amount of bitcoin for a long time..
And honestly earnings in bitcoins for me is a good idea that bitcoin is your main source of earnings that we do not know if how many years bitcoin will live just to finance your family.. much better to get your own real job and collecting bitcoin is part time job.. so that you can have savings in bitcoin that you can use for your future.. if you can start a business with bitcoin in the future that you can scaling up.. you can be earn much not only 0.001 btc a day..
2318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto bank on: January 01, 2017, 04:49:44 PM
B
how about coinbase?

it can be seen as a bitcoin bank. and although i dislike the idea generally but coinbase or other services similar to that offer all the features that makes them a bank.

for example you make deposits there, they hold all the funds and you only have an account as you have with a bank. and they offer ways to deposit money and turn it into bitcoin and vice versa.

the only thing missing is issuing debit cards, and giving annual profit.

Coinbase is a scam
How you can say that coinbase is scam.. honestly i am using coinbase as wallet but i still not experience any issue about that site..
Maybe for those who are using credit card to deposit i just heard before but i think the issue was solved..
I am still using coinbase for other transaction activity the sad part is you can not use it for gambling..
2319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: January 01, 2017, 03:51:36 PM
It's just funny for me. I do not like gambling but sometimes I paly gambling for relax and geting out of the stress.
Gambling is really not good for anybody. it will make you poor and exhausted.


Well that is your own opinion and thats how you choose to put it. But for me, I am still of the opinion that gambling is not for fun, if I want to have fun, I can play video games PR choose to watch football among other things to do not gambling. I also holds that the primary motive to gambling is to winning and after that is not accomplished, then one later seek other motives which what you said falls into...
Not all people are not same belief what they are doing with gambling or what is really their needed.. for me both of them either for winning profit and also for entertaining purposes or fast time.. and i think for rich people they are just gamble just for fun or past time.
There is a game that honestly it is not fun to play but the in the first time can be attracted because you can get fast result than the other game.. like dice game. first time i was addicted in that game i am doing for profit watch video in youtube that can be motivate you to deposit and try his method if it can actually making you 1 btc or large amount of winning.. that i never experience until now..
