At the moment I feel that bitcoin is flying in the cloud not yet in the month, so the movement just up and down is carried away by the wind. Don't know this condition until when but it will still give positive things and we will take him to Mars and win.

Well, for me, I think it is not just there in the cloud, there is a reason why it is there. I think the main reason is that it is giving a chance for us investors to invest while the price is not that high. So for investors that wants to earn from Bitcoin, better keep the investing coming since you or we will never know when again will be the price this low.
2362  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Worth To Be Currency? on: January 19, 2019, 10:56:25 AM
Yes, bitcoin is worth to be a currency. It already plays an important role in economic system and it is accepted as payment currency in some countries.

I do respect the countries that accepted Bitcoin but I don't think it is that worthy especially right now. The price of Bitcoin as we all know is so volatile, the price go up and down, just like that back and forth. If someone will be accepting it as a payment method, it will be their loss and it will be really hard dealing with that moving price.
2363  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Over? on: January 13, 2019, 12:15:17 AM
Bitcoin is not yet over. There are still so many people from different countries who use, hold snd transact to other people using bitcoin. As long as we continue to use it as transactions, then it will not be over.

Bitcoin will not be done that quickly. It will still be a great crypto currency in the future since we all know, the development of it is still continuous. It is not that we use it as a transaction but as long as people are buying and selling it, it will still continue since also, there are a lot of supporters of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies, it will not be done over yet.
2364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people but bigger bets in sports compared to other type of gambling? on: January 12, 2019, 11:28:28 PM
I would like to know why people are trusting their luck more in sports gambling compared to other type of games.
Personally, I put bigger bet on sports because I believe I have a little skills that would give me a better chance of winning, but I'm not really serious with sports gambling.

Exactly, I feel more comfortable placing for example a 0.01BTC bet on sports than I put 0.01BTC in a single roll on dice, roulette or plinko. You can loose with your sport bet as well but its YOU that pick the games you bet on. With other gambling you fully rely on luck.

You also pick for your bet on other gambling games, the only difference of sports betting is that you are choosing the team that you know that has the higher possibility of winning based on their performance in the last game and the players available. Saying that, you are betting on the team or player based on your observation or analysis.
2365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: January 12, 2019, 10:45:03 PM
Arrest the addiction.

That's how you quit.
Pure and simple.


Yes, it's simple, but it's hard to do because the addiction is not just to talk about the addicted itself, but it also needs to know what the method to solve the problem. And once the right method can apply, I am sure the addiction will be cured. But it needs a big effort to stay patient while we are trying to solve the problem and we need more support from other people.
Arrest those addict?
I don't understand this one, because addiction is not a crime its a battle between you and your emotion. If you're addict in gambling, you cannot stop that easily you have to undergo with the process, and that process will take more time. Its good if there is someone who can work with you, and help you to be better again, patient is the key of course but try to put big effort on that.
impressed that addicts are plague and must be exiled. even though addicts are people who need help. moreover they don't hurt other people and aren't contagious right? arrest them not the way out. they need help from a psycholog.

That is the problems nowadays. They are eliminating or containing the affected areas but they are not stopping the root of the problem. Instead of arresting these addicts, why not stop the gambling places or the casinos? And I know no one would want that and in the end, it is on our hands to stop ourselves from gambling and be addicted to it. No one can stop ourselves but us.
2366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All bankers hate BTC, am I right? on: January 12, 2019, 08:44:18 PM
I think so bankers and governments are hating bitcoin because of the power of it and the technology of bitcoin have with the help of blockchain technology bitcoin are powerful that could afraid of the everyone.

No. Blockchain technology is not something that should feared even by bankers or thr government. The government are banning them for some reasons and the reason that it has Blockchain technology is not one of them. Instead of fearing them, they should be able to use them as it will develop new technologies that can be used by them.
2367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin in Southeast Asia be legal? on: January 12, 2019, 12:02:43 PM
In some country in southeast asia yes it is. Though its not yet most of industries using it their are some using it on thier system.

That is right, in our country, Philippines, Bitcoin is not banned it is regulated in our country though only a small portion of our population are using Bitcoin since there are a lot of news about Bitcoin being used to scam people or its investors. That is the reason why a lot of people in our country is not using and investing on crypto currencies especially Bitcoin.
2368  Economy / Economics / Re: A cryptocurrency with volatility can't be used as money on: January 11, 2019, 11:57:38 PM
you can, and what you need to remember is that if bitcoin is used as money for payment, then the volatility will not be as extreme now. do you know that the bitcoin market is like this because bitcoin is only traded in the market, not used as a payment instrument or anything other than the btc market.

Well, that is the reason it is used like that. The volatility makes the price move since no one is really controlling or manipulating the price unless you have a lot of them. It is used as a payment in the past but it was also rejected by a lot of platforms and even some regretted that they've actually accepted it as a payment. It can be used as a money if we will be able to remove that volatility, and I don't think it will be that easy.
2369  Economy / Economics / Re: Will 2019 take us to Moon or Mars? on: January 11, 2019, 11:08:16 PM
Looking back at 2017 and 2018, one thing became clear and that is the never die attitude of the true Bitcoin investor/user. We are as stubborn and tough as a Honey Badger and we fight to the bitter end.

Ask yourself if any other disruptive technology like Bitcoin would have survived this long, bearing in mind that we are being attacked and challenged from all sides. <Governments and Banks and competitor coins>  Huh

We took these challenges like scaling and we ran with it and our developers came up with a novel solution <Lightning Network> and now we are getting back up and running with that.

Let's wake the Honey Badger within us and continue the fight to Bitcoin to Mars!  Wink
That's true all you said above maybe last 2017 we enjoy the highest price of bitcoin and many people are going to be greedy because of highest price because they grab the opportunity to make profits that time. And I believe that bitcoin will go to the Mars soon... just keep believing and be patience at this bear season.

No one knows what might happen so instead of panic selling and thinking that something bad might happen to Bitcoin like dying or being defeated by other crypto currencies, we should be patient and be calm. Investing is all about being patient, we also need to wait to harvest all of that great profits in the future. Bitcoin will pump, lets be patient.
2370  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Do You Think 2019 Will Be Different? on: January 11, 2019, 10:17:49 PM
I trust this year bitcoin and altcoin will have higher price, many investor have take back for getting profit with bitcoin and altcoin by re investing. We have make the same way to invest at bitcoin.

You don't need to "trust" them, you just need to be cautious. Bitcoin and all crypto currencies are volatile, that is the reason you should be careful on trusting them. You can just invest on Bitcoin, be patient and just ride the waves. Do what is the best thing when something happens but don't sell when it dumps, that is a bad idea.
Trusting this giant coins is normal because how can you invest in one coin if you don’t believe and trust its technology at all, its just like choosing the shitcoins to invest. Always have faith on your investment but of course you should still have the target price so you will not hold that coin for long and miss the chance of taking profit. 2019 will be the bouncing year of cryptos, its different because we are rising again.

That is the reason why you always analyze your investment before you jump into that investment. Why would you invest on a crypto currency out of trust? I know that there are some investors that do that but they are also analyzing what might happen, they don't just invest and rely on trust. They invest because they know, there is a probability of success, even though it is small.

2372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nobody wins in gambling anyway on: January 11, 2019, 01:42:56 PM
When there are problems with gambling we will not accepting it not so easy because we have need to win in gambling and there are many things to do with the profit but in gambling the profit was very very less and we cannot make profit in gambling this is the fact for all gambling users.
Profit in gambling determines the bankroll you have. If its quite cheap and small, expect that you'll profit will go that way but a twist can happen like hitting a jackpot and this happens once in a blue moon to a gambler.

It don't happen that usually.

There are a lot of times that people win with a small bankroll. In fact, a lot of people won a lot of money in the past, a rug to riches story mostly include gambling, but most of them is not through the gambling we usually know. I know some people that started their business through the money they won on gambling, I think this really depends on luck.
I don't think they really are 'a lot'. We're discussing gambling and you opened the rugs to riches story but you say that most of them didn't got that life through gambling so there's the contradiction. Luck is part of the process and we can't remove that and those lucky gamblers who started their winnings did it well, they are wise.

I think I understand his part of that statement there. I've also read here in the forum that when you take choices, take risks with your life, you are making a gamble, it just struck me so maybe I am wrong what @Janation is saying. I do know some people too that won through gambling, they usually, well every day to be exact bet on lotteries. They give number combinations and it will be drawn 3 times or 4 times in a day. I know the odds and I don't think I would be able to win that, they say that I have the higher possibility of being hit by a lightning than winning the lottery.
2373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling strategies (beliefs) on: January 11, 2019, 12:52:40 PM
My strategy is to promote gambling sites and gamble witb referral comission.I am not greedy most times I just increase 2x my balance and then I cashout money.Sometimes I win sometimes I bust but this id best strategy to beat house sometimes without risking money from your pocket.

I don't think you should call that a gambling strategy since you are just taking advantage of the referral system of the gambling sites. Advertising the gambling site and gambling actually your money is not the same, they are different from each other. It is great if you will be able to gamble that but I suggest that you don't, you have the best choice to just cash out them all.
2374  Economy / Economics / Re: thinking of selling or investing more. on: January 11, 2019, 12:35:52 PM
Actually what will happen in the crypto market is very difficult to say. But we can hope for a better price in the future, so I think it's also a good time to buy it.

We don't know what will happen but we do know that the price will still change and that will be for the best of crypto currencies especially Bitcoin. How can I say? The price is falling again, if people keep investing again on cryptos maybe on Bitcoin specifically, the price will again pump up and create another ATH though the problem is that people are keep on selling their investment and instead of helping they are making it more worse.
2375  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it good to recruit other person to join Blockchain technology? on: January 11, 2019, 10:34:44 AM
Blockchain technology or bitcoin seems so complicated to ordinary people and they don't want to invest something that they don't understand. Also, they only focus on how much cryptocurrencies are volatile and figures make them afraid of investing.

It is really complicated to them the reason why they should not be wanting this job unless they want to include themselves in the development and the upgrade of Bitcoin and crypto currencies. Instead of recruiting them to join the Blockchain technology, why don't you just ask them about investing and using cryptos? It is much more easier and profitable in time.
2376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is this the right time to explain about bitcoin to others..? on: January 10, 2019, 11:58:09 PM
I don't think it's the right time to tell crypto currencies to other people with conditions like this, if the crypto currency condition is good it still can't because the transaction with crypto currency is still prohibited in my country
Nope at least they know the risks they will face in crypto, so they will not be surprised at the prices that fall then.
whenever you can tell them. You can tell the risk and the essence of crypto innovation then it's better

And even if they know what Bitcoin is, they will not be able to use it since it is banned in their country, in his words, it is "prohibited" at their country. It doesn't matter whether they knew about it, they care or not care about it since they will not be able to use it if that is the case. Bitcoin celebrated its 10th year now so I don't think we need to explain it about them, they should know it by now.
2377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it Game Over for Bitcoin? on: January 10, 2019, 11:34:49 PM
no one can find out directly in the future any crypto currency including bitcoin bitcoin will not end as long as there are investors and of course people who do not have confidence in the crypto currency who say bitcoin will end

What? I don't get it, why would you include these people that has no confidence in the development of crypto currencies, well including Bitcoin. Investors is enough since we all know these investors will keep on supporting Bitcoin knowing that it will not die that easily. Let those people that have no confidence on Bitcoin bandwagon the market as they just support cryptos when they are earning their profit.
2378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: January 10, 2019, 10:29:53 PM
No, it's the right idea because if one is enjoying gambling he will not become focus on the possible winning and he will not be greedy, with that mentality, it will make him safe from being addicted. The real purpose of gambling is just for entertainment, that is because they have the edge over the gamblers, so they'll win most of the time and we have to accept that in order to put a limit on the amount we risk.

Yes, we are risking our money here, we are not giving it because although we're here to enjoy, we also aim to win.
The question is can someone enjoy even though he gets lost in gambling? because in my experience playing,
I don't get any pleasure, except when I win? I'm not a hypocrite here, that victory is the main goal not to enjoy or have fun #imo

Well, that is right. Even though people are saying that they are gambling for fun or to just spend their time in a casino or a gambling site, they are still hoping that they can get that jackpot. People are greedy and really vulnerable to pleasure, that is the reason why they can be easily sticked to something that can easily give them money despite the risks. Nowadays, most of the people take the path of leas resistance since they have their own reason and their problems but we should still aim high, we are human, we might be greedy but we can develop ourselves into something that will benefit ourselves.
2379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I LOST OVER 10 BTC IN GAMBLING IN 2018 on: January 10, 2019, 09:08:46 PM
Sorry to hear but you should not bet such a big amount. Maybe you have a lot of btc but still you should not bet such a bigger. Anyway, I would stay with the familiar sentence applying for crypto, "Don't invest more than you afford to lose."

This is really a massive amount some one is losing because 10 btc means a lot of money to nearly 80% of the people. Might be is someone is rich then may be fine losing that amount else with that amount one could easily stay for the rest of the life in normal way.


With the greediness of us humans, I don' think that 10 BTCs will be enough for someone to stay of their lives normal. People will always want more, that is the reason a lot of people are wanting to earn more, to bet more on gambling, and the OP is the same. We are all greedy but it is in our hands how will we be able to control that greed and turn it to a great thing.
2380  Economy / Economics / Re: thinking of selling or investing more. on: January 10, 2019, 12:42:38 PM
Indeed nobody knows if the market will rise or fall, there are many analyst and predictions but we cannot rely on that. Better to wait and look for the longterm because cryptocurrency is improving, developments are non stop and mass adoption is increasing everyday.

If you want to invest in the long term, you do not have to think about it. Prices have fallen by 80% -90%, so if it is not yet bottom, it will soon be found and the upward trend will start. If the bear market is over, then a better time for shopping will not see for a very long time.

That is right, it is the best time to buy Bitcoin. Last year is also one of the best year to invest since the price of Bitcoin is continuously dropping as we have seen the price at $3000. Investors should really take the opportunity of the prices as we all know, Bitcoin is a volatile crypto currency, we don't know what might happen with the price so we just ride the sudden changes.
