2521  Economy / Economics / Re: Are electric cars bad for the oil industry? on: May 24, 2016, 01:04:28 AM
Title.

So. Electric cars are gaining in popularity, therefore the popularity of gasoline will be going down. Won't the price go down, leaving the oil industry in trouble?
In the long run it is going to to hurt the oil industry that is a fact. The majority of the people still owns a car that runs on gasoline but in the future I believe that more people are going to get a electric car.
In the long run it is going to hut the oil industry but now not. When more and more are going to buy electric cars then it is going to hurt the oil company a bit but I am sure that the oil industry is going to sell there oil no matter what.
It might happen in the future in a particular country can remedy the shortage of electricity, in our country we have a rotational brown out because of the electricity shortage, so we have a little chance to fully adopt the electric car plan.

Two or three years ago i bet on 11 football games. All of them enter.. almost. In the last match, in 89th minute, someone scored a goal (i don't remember teams now) to 0:1, and I bet on a draw. To grab was around 14.000 euros.. I had tears in my eyes .. I went to get drunk!

Gambling really is more than what we expect.extreme results are to be found here.  If what you believe in never happens then you are in the wrong side, so if you are in the wrong side, men, you lose.  knowing that in gambling there are only three results, I bet you have to accept that one way or the other you are gonna win, you are gonna loose and of course the rare type result like winning is the draw.  Either of the three is acceptable.  So why keep a tear when you know that loosing is one of the options?

In this situation, I almost cried, because winning was so close! It was only one minute to the one of last game + maybe some extra minuets, so to win 14k euro was missing just few minutes!  Cry
That was really sad, you are talking already of a good amount to invest, if you don't gamble your money then you might be rich by now already. It is always a problem really when you bet what you can't afford to lose.
2523  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: May 24, 2016, 12:55:08 AM
I think 100 btc would be enough for me to live a good retired life, as cost of living is not too high in my country so 100 btc can take best care of me and my family.
Me too, I would love to have my dream realize if I have that 100 BTC for my retirement, in my country too I think that amount will be fine as  I can pay all my medicines and take a good vacation trip getting old.

Well the cavs just need to blow the game out to avoid peole saying that the refs are in favor of them.
Don't worry man they will. Lebron told me via skype that they will not embarrass their team again infront of the canadians. LOL
Seriously, they will win, easy money. Let's take -5.5 Cleveland Cavaliers.

It is better to buy the bitcoin directly. The price could double every year for the next five to ten years.

The price will not double every year, but buying bitcoins at this moment is the most stress-free and less time-consuming investment opportunity at the moment.
Miners are not profitable and altcoins are too dangerous.
It's true, if you believe that bitcoins will rise in the future then today is the right time to buy, the current price today is just too fair for us to get profit from our investment in the future. You have nothing to do but wait until that happens.
If only I have that amount the OP is talking about, I would simply diversify it by investing in a proven profitable investments. I would be very glad to put some of my investment in an online casinos and maybe put some in buying bitcoins at today's price and hold until the price increase to cash out profit.
2526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: May 23, 2016, 06:21:04 AM
Most of the time i earn from gambling but i have no any strategy about it, by chance i win, and when i plane how can i play than by chance i have lost my bitcoins. So for me gambling has no any strategy behind it.
sometime it is very difficult for me to know who to play gambling. Than i realize gambling no need hardworking and planning, Gambling only need luck. 
For those who are not serious in winning about gambling they just rely their gambling on luck. With your luck as the main tool to win in gambling you cannot win consistently because in order to win in the long run you need to have the skills and a lot of research.
2527  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing Bitcoins? on: May 23, 2016, 06:16:43 AM
if you want to grow your bitcoin then you can put your bitcoin in various investment sites and you just have to sit back and wait until your bitcoin grow and achieve ROI. if you just want to profit from the price of bitcoin then you just have to keep him of course the risk of loss is very small compared you to invest in a particular site
That's a good idea i guess, we have a lot of investments here to choose from or to be safe you can even invest it at your own wallet, all you need to do is just buy bitcoins now and keep it for a longer period of time.However, if you want to diversify, you can try to invest on online casinos and make sure you choose the trusted ones.

Can't believe that you considered that investing in investment sites that offers growth of your bitcoin passively is really a good idea.

Please refrain from posting like that since many newbies are lurking here in this forum and they might mislead it.

"Sit back and wait until your bitcoin grow and achieve ROI" - really a lol.
Actually there are a lot of investing sites that offers good ROI, one of them and the most popular are the gambling sites. As an investor we need to very positive to allow the positive vibes in the future, in that way we can earn good return of investments, there is nothing we can do in investing as we do not manage the business we are putting our money with, its a invest and pray game.
2528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 23, 2016, 06:08:20 AM
Everyone loves to win, hates to lose and the thrill of winning keeps people coming back for "Just one more"

I agree, we keep playing because we want the thrill of gambling, that made us being addicted to it. Until such time we lost our money and we keep coming back not noticing that we are donating our money in the gambling sites.
2529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Bitcoin? on: May 23, 2016, 05:55:27 AM
There are so many gamblers that uses bitcoins these days. Also with normal cash but coin gambling
is growing so fast cant get grip on that. Why would everybody want to lose their coins just for a gamble
i would never understand that.
The combination between gambling and Bitcoin has definitely paid off as you can see. Now there are still appearing more and more gambling sites were you can make use of Bitcoins as a currency.  
Add to that the fact that many Bitcoin gambling sites do not have restrictions for players from certain countries and you could see why it becomes popular so quick.
A lot of countries seem to impose various laws to prevent people from playing on certain traditional casino's.
Yes bitcoin means freedom from all type of regulations and country restrictions. That is the reason many gambling sites are accepting bitcoin payments to provide services to all the country gamblers.
Even some gambling sites with the bitcoin payments do not need to follow any particular country's restrictions. In future, by accepting only bitcoin payments, a gambling house will break this kind of restrictions to accept the gamblers of any country as bitcoin does not need to follow any laws.
Bitcoins is not FIAT that is why they are not considered illegal when use in gambling. This is just a token that can be earn thru mining so the government does not really care about it as bitcoin users also has only around 5% of the total population in the world, so no threat to the government to impose laws against using it.
2530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 23, 2016, 05:53:26 AM
Yes definitely! Being rich gives you wider resources for gambling specially if its not hard earned. Gambling I think is more of luck and chances so the more I have at my disposal, the more confident i'll be betting away Cheesy
Absolutely, being rich gives me time to gamble because as a rich person you have a lot of time and money to waste. If you can bet only the amount that you can afford to lose then that is nothing compared to my total riches.
2531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: May 23, 2016, 05:52:06 AM
Gambling is risky game of money from which most people lose and just a few wins. Gambling too is addictive and fun especially when you're winning and that's why most people can't get away from gambling once they get in it.
In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.
Everyone has their own opinion about gambling but my opinion is different from you. it is not necessary, that when you play first time we always win  and the second time we will lose.
most of the time we are playing right and we lose it, whenever we play some time may be our faults happened,because everything in gambling happen by chance win or lose. in the end we are saying that all depend on luck. 
I play in gambling because I want to enjoy my spare time, I don't treat it as a money machine like many have done here. I understand the risk that it may brings into my life therefore gambling cannot be considered sickness for me.
2532  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: May 23, 2016, 05:51:43 AM
If you have an choice to work on both then why to choose a single one, keep on earning from both as you cannot afford to quit your job for bitcoin.

^This, i really agree with you. Why not pick both when you can do that. When i have free time on my daily job, i always spend it on bitcointalk to earn more money.

Me too, I have my daily job but still I'm forcing myself to manage to do at the same time. Doing some bitcoin task in our office but rather than doing my office job, I'm doing my bitcoin task  Cool
Same here, I have my full time job and still managed to do some bitcoin tasks on breaks/free time. That's why I can also post here on bitcointalk even on weekdays. That was really good that I can do both daily work and bitcoin work, I don't need to choose one or let go one Grin  Cheesy
We are on the same page brother, I am also having a full time job, bitcoins is just my sideline and because of this it gives me additional income. The best thing is I learned a lot roaming at the forum and I might consider quitting my job in the future due to the opportunity of bitcoins.
Considering that you might quit your job means you earn a decent amount of bitcoins. Hopefully in the future there will be more opportunities for us to earn more. Less hassle if it happens, we can really manage our time very well. But atleast as of now it's good that we have 2 source of income.
That's true, having a two source of income is always good. Keeping our job is good as it provides us daily fixed income. Although the earnings in real job is limited by we can be secured in the future. However, if we have a good ability to increase our bitcoins , doing it full time is more better.
2533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN] WAVES. Ultimate crypto-tokens blockchain platform. on: May 23, 2016, 05:47:49 AM

Thank you for the update man, another good day for the waves, this is making me amaze everyday. I really love you waves, I cannot wait to end the ICO to see my investment.
2534  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin worth to you or not... on: May 23, 2016, 01:48:33 AM
People always go in search of worth things and not behind worthless. Definitely bitcoin is much a worthy one, so as usual it means a lot to me.
So as me, because I am using it daily to finance my gambling habits, without it I cannot gamble anymore so I would probably say that it is precious for me.

So basically you are using it for gambling purpose and that is the reason its worth to you and I think this is really a ridiculous way to spend your coins.

Gambling will make you loose all your money in long run for sure, and that is not the best way to invest your money, its worth to me because I am earning some extra money from it.
Gambling is for fun, there are people that really treat it at such way. Investing in bitcoins are not in their minds because as long as they can gamble they are already happy with it and this people knows what they are doing and only risk the amount they can afford to lose.
2535  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: May 23, 2016, 01:47:07 AM
3. Buy some good altcoin and then stake. this is for medium - long term project
what is good altcoin?
 Wink Smiley

you may have to find that for yourself.
Ensure you search different rates and fluctuations.
I'd suggest YObit for an exchange though do your research on the coins you want to buy, some may turn out to e scams. It is also useful to store the cons in places such as online on different sites as some altcoinnns are scams made by the developers in order to steal .dat files of other coins.

Altcoins are dangerous to invest so invest only after researching an altcoin and don't go for the new coins, how tempting this may be.You want to max. profit against an affordable risk.
Not a 100% risk where you can lose 100% of your investment.
Every investment is dangerous because of the risk associated to it, even if the project is promising it has also a chance to not succeed in the future or may crush at the middle of its popularity, so let us just invest what we can afford to lose.
2536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: May 23, 2016, 01:45:47 AM
I never cried with gambling but one day I was about to cry, I did a bet for only 0.1 BTC and turned it into 10 BTC in the 20 line slot machine, but I was too greedy and keep playing, I saw my 10 BTC become 0 slowly, I didn't know to stop, but at the end of the day I only lost 0.1 BTC.
Ow you made 10 btc i never experience it yet. but if i am in your place i will cash it out.. because 10 btc is huge amount of money if you withdraw and convert it into fiat..  and you are right you can cry only if you win a large amount with a small amount of capital to bet.. like on lottery they are crying because they won  to be a millionaire.. but if lose i dont see that they are crying and i think its nothing to them..

If I did withdrew the 10 BTC, I would not have cashed out to fiat... if I did that, I would find out that 10 years alter that 10 BTC could have been anything from 100k to 1 million dollars, now THAT would be something to cry over to.
This is best example for greedy gamblers. But this is not his mistake if money is coming back to back without loosing anything means automatically greediness will increase. So in this situation we have to control our mind or else this type of result we see in the end. 10 BTC means all most 4500$ you last in a single day bonus 0.1 BTC good this is good luck for House.
In order for us to win that big in a short period of time we need to be extremely lucky, and if we don't have self discipline we still end up losing because of our poor decision to still play even if we already won a considerable amount of money. 10BTC is already a good profit, why not stop?
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Bitcoin? on: May 23, 2016, 01:43:45 AM
Gambling with bitcoin is very easy as even your parents won't come to know that you are gambling online as you don't need to disclose your identity too while gambling with bitcoin.

actually even not about using btc, it is very hard for parents to come and figure out what you do in your computer. so even u gamble using really money, your parents also hard to notice.

Yes this is not a big matter if we want to gamble means we did not get chance to play gambling in home because of our parents we can play it in out side cyber cafe right. So this is not a big deal but if we play with our parents money it may be BTC or real money if we loss means one time or two time it's ok every day it repeats means we will caught one day.
That's bad if you play the money that you cannot afford to lose, especially when that is not your money and it was intended for a specific thing or project. Gambling is fun so we have to stick with that the nothing else.
2538  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: May 23, 2016, 01:30:44 AM
With bitcoin nothing is sure, same as that is the future. So nothing needs to be specific for the future, try to grab and earn bitcoin that is affordable. It is expected to give you a pleasant living after retirement.

I agree with you, even though we can say that bitcoin has really a promising future awaits for it. Still we can't predict and say what can happen
in future about bitcoin and also for its price. And yeah it is better to get more bitcoins today or exchange fiat to btc if you afford to.

We don't know what will be the price of bitcoin in future, even 10 btc can take care of us or even 100 btc won't be enough, everything depends on the price of bitcoin.
Nobody sees the future but our belief in bitcoins will make it happen, the price will rise in the future as the demand increases, you need to understand that we are in the modern world of technology and in the future we are going full digital and bitcoins is a good tool to realize that.
2539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: May 23, 2016, 01:29:05 AM
you could stay away from online gambling by keeping less money online. So even if you lose you don't lose much.
To stay away in gambling needs a lot of discipline, you need to be more focus on doing productive things that would affect your life in a positive way in the future and never gamble if you can't handle the stress it brings unto you.
2540  Economy / Speculation / Re: The future of Bitcoin on: May 23, 2016, 01:26:52 AM
There is nothing to worry related to the future of bitcoin, as its growing now and there will be many more companies in future that will join bitcoin and it will make bitcoin more popular.

Yeah, bitcoin will be more powerful in future when there will be an involvement from many new companies and halving will also take bitcoin to higher level which will attract many new users.
I am seeing that also, as long as we continue to support bitcoins as a means for our daily transactions only, it can be possible in the future that the adoption from different sectors of business world will happen.
