2521  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you actively spend your bitcoins? on: July 19, 2016, 07:48:45 AM
I spend bitcoin daily on toping up my mobile balance. Apart from that i have started to use bitcoin as alternative to paypal to pay my hosting and domain cost these days.

Majority of users are spending their coins on mobile top ups as I dont' think there is any other place to spend bitcoins as the usage of bitcoin is limited at a moment.

Bitcoin isnt soo limited as you think, there are several services around bitcoin sure for those who wanna buy its hard, even when there are here trusted people who can sell almost anything for bitcoin. I had paid my domains at namecheap with bitcoins, for me as an online earner bitcoins is helping me a lot, and i can spend it online where i wanna.

Spending bitcoin online is not a big deal now as there are many places where you can spend it but the major issue is to spend it offline as there are many countries who are still not aware about it.
Yup! there are a lot of online store now that accepts bitcoins but in less developing countries there are only less so we could not easily spend our bitcoins online, it is better to cash out it and just buy it physically in a store.

For me, it is really unfair for those people who have bitcoins who are in a country where there is no reason for using their bitcoins.
Because their country is not allowing them to use bitcoin and there is no store that does accept bitcoin for shopping.
So they can't spend bitcoin actively.

For now even some countries doesn't offer Bitcoin as payment ex. Stores,   but there's the possibility that it would offer soon since technology is upgrading so fast same as Bitcoin it became popular day by day and someday it would reach your country and merchants would decide to adopt Bitcoin as a payment. Just have patience. Hehe


That is really hard for them it is just like they are saving it for future. But without any confirmation if their country is going to adopt bitcoin at all.
But of course we all know that technology is getting on the trend faster as it can be.
They will just going to wait for it, they don't have choice.

Yes, they dont have any choice but  to wait. The good thing on saving those bitcoin would have advantages on long term even they cant spent it locally to their country but  the profit is there coz they save too many btc  Grin SO, saving btc isnt bad at all even you cant spent it on your country.

Don't worry guys as the time goes by everything is happening and evolving with the use of bitcoin.
Even in the remote areas bitcoin is going to come there. And once it happened.
You can now spend bitcoins actively.
As long as there is internet in an area bitcoins will be useful and people will have a chance to adopt with bitcoins. That would happen in the future but we need more time maybe at least 20 years.

Inflation rates in most countries eat saving money so I think everyone should not save a lot of money because by time its value is declining. only save what you may need in an emergency
You got it right! Before your money get affected with the inflation that's happening in our economic system, do the right thing and convert it now to bitcoin because bitcoin is the only currenct that's deflating as time pass by.
That is right, we just need to trust bitcoin before doing that as it is a risky move with a good future reward if bitcoins will succeed. Having that in mind will make you feel comfortable with your investment as you have so much faith with bitcoins. This is a revolution and in the future we will be ruling the world not the dirty politicians.

I'm happy to see the Lakers pick up Timofey Mozgov, that big russian will help them a ton on the inside.  Going to be good to watch how they come together next year.

But have you seen the tv commercial Mozgov has made in Cleveland?  They are so bad they're funny.

I don't know why people like Mozgov when he was mostly a bench warmer for the cavs in the finals, people are just so dumb and bandwagoners
Mozgov is good but not really a good player, he is a best fit for the lakers but this team still not legitimate to enter in the playoffs. They need to acquire at least a superstar to make this  this team exciting to watch.
clarkson is there mate he will bring it up together with the two towers hahha, but you are correct lakers needed at least one superstar for them to go back in the playoffs.
The future still doesn't look sunny for the Lakers. They keep shooting their foot with acquisitions that make you think and scratch your head. They need a solid franchise player and a deep bench for them to even contend for a playoff spot in the ultra competitive Western Conference. Clarkson and Russell could develop into a good backcourt tandem, but I don't think they have the makings of franchise players.
We can see that in the coming season, I don't really think that lakers would improve that fast as they need more time to master their roles in the floor, so far clarkson is the most consistent player and he is exciting to watch. If the NBA will give him a break he will be popular in his era.

Lakers fame is finished as kobe bryant finished his journey to that team and for now lakers really getting a hard time to compete to another team since we all know that they dont have reliable teammates who they can rely on,

Theirs no doubt really that they are talented but they dont have what you called one teammates that can lift up there team to have spot in playoffs.

Im not really going to be surprised if these current lined up will be easily elimanate since i dont see any rooster changes to their team even though they have clarkson but still hes to young to brought responsibility to lift and step up for his team.

The Lakers now have a bright future with their  young guys. About Mozgov, he's a good player but not worth of that high salary. As a laker fan will take it, because nobody wants to be in LA.

I guess LA will wait for another years to shine again and expect a good player from the draft will become a legend soon. Besides, LA's current draft needs a lot of practice to do, especially facing off favourable teams.
This season is still the adjustment period for them considering the new head coach and getting bryant out in the line up. I am pretty sure this will be fun to watch and I hope clarkson will be their main man to give the credits due to him.

No, i use bitcoins if i have free time, i used it for an extra income, i cannot quit on my job because i love my job, and i have no assurance on bitcoins how long this operations, but i want to continue posting on the bitcoins also i enjoy posting everyday i have a internet connection because i express my opinion regarding to other situation that experience of the others. Wink Wink Wink
Considering bitcoins as your free income will not make you interest it more than you real day job, only those who have a open mind will see the opportunity in bitcoin.

Like me as a person, I earn by working here online and invest at the same time, the moment I can see that I am improving with my work here I would automatically quit my job.
2525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: July 19, 2016, 07:19:17 AM
Many people go into gambling and develop a habit of gambling and gambling with money they don't have. It starts with gambling as so if you got money, but it goes from bad to worse.
If you first thought when getting money is to gamble.. you got a problem.
Very true if thinking we can earn income in gambling is a problem. Indeed, can we get a bitcoin from gambling but that if it was just luck. Gambling is a game that can be lost and won. So you should not rely bitcoin to earn an income.
Yes, Gambling is nothing but win and lose. Here both have equal chances, But why we lose our money in gambling means reason our Greedy. Yes, when we are in the long run win any format of the game we will not stop playing. Our greedy will not let us stop until we lose everything what we earn. So this greedy is the problem in gambling.
True greedy is a problem in gambling. People will continue to bet either win or lose because they are never satisfied with the result of gambling. And it can lead to loss of many bitcoin and making losses.

It is depend of the amount of money they lose if they are not satisfied of what they have. If you were just betting your extra money, then it is fine that you lose the amount of it. Being greedy is the key of addiction.
Yes greedy in gambling will lead to addiction and that is the problem. If we are greedy we will continue to bet and want to continue to benefit. That would result in losing a lot of money and could be a problem in your life.
Yes true greed is the real problem in gambling. We will be addicted and will continue to bet to lose a lot of money. It should be avoided because it could be bad for us.

i think the only players that we can conclude as the winners on gambling sites are those who knows when to stop when they are already winning. Greed is really the reason why most players losses in gambling. they don't know when to stops.
We can all stop when we are winning but the real problem is when we don't know how to stop even though we are already losing money that we cannot afford to do.

If i were a billionaire and i generate $1M/day then i would play sometimes just a little bit fraction of my money for entertainment. If im poor and money is so scarce to gain then i wouldnt gamble, as simple as that. But still there are people even rich or poor still gamble because thats their hobby. It depend on the person.
$1 million a day will make you the richest person on earth, and I were in that situation I will not only gamble because I will make many gambling sites and physical casinos so I can still play while growing my money.
2527  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: July 18, 2016, 01:07:55 PM
Through Forex you can be rich fast, but you can loose fast too. In current time to make fast profit will be very hard  Grin Internet is full of many scam profit Websites, where you can loose fast  Grin

In addition to what you add there is also another way to make the author very rich overnight. I am proposing him to gamble. In gambling you may win milions overnight. But the only setback is if you are unlucky you may lose a significant amount. But without a risk there are no high interests. Only in high risk that high income is found

If you are planning to get rich with gambling then that is the worst decision to make as it is not possible to win every time and even if you win I am sure you will loose every thing in long run.
Forget gambling because we can never be rich in it, we have a good chance to be rich by stealing money than gambling. With gambling it's like donating our money in the gambling sites if we don't enjoy playing it.
2528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: July 18, 2016, 01:04:31 PM
golden state warriors was sure to this season. hahaha. i want store more btc in my wallet for preparation in nba betting. they are over power and nba permits a powerful like that. there is no balance in the game this season. you can count on your hand who was the powerhouse team that can make through the finals. i hope they rebalance it..

going to be tough to re balance it. Back in the day players went for the big paychecks and it gave small markets star players. Now
all the stars want to build an all star team and care more about winning. Makes it tough on the small teams to ever catch up.
Only small market teams with good management, i.e. OKC and San Antonio, stand a chance against the bigger market cap teams. The disparity in terms of lineup depth and stars in a team, and how super teams from big markets are so common these days. Another thing is players are more attracted to play for bigger market teams because of the bigger earning potential that they can offer.
its all about money and thats the reason the stronger team you have the more publicity you can get and more money to come they are not looking for big salary but they want popularity to get more money from advertisement.
Yeah! NBA is just an organization that promotes entertainment and not really a real competition, superstars are protected because that is what people are watching, without them NBA will have a lower ratings and will not be popular in the world and that could mean less income for the crooks.

Your statement is a bit rhetorical and ridiculous at the same time.

Any sport without superstars would have lower ratings, or should I say - people would watch it less.

And also about Big vs Small markets.
People have to stop with that nonsense - just check what's been happening with LA and NY recently, even Boston.

It's all about how the team is managed (draft pick, salary cap, trades, etc.)

Big/Small markets is the topic of the past
Big market even if teams are losing popularity in the public it could still be popular in the future, the lakers are not that popular but they still have a good sales and in terms of market they are huge when kobe was still their.

This coming season the new kids will rule in LA like clarkson and company.

I think many way to become Rich. I can't depend on luck but you need a lot of guts and enough bankroll.
Maybe just make sure that you're had  the game to gain more.

I don't think that I will be rich by gambling. it's not easy to get it.
that's right, many way to become rich, Gambling only for fun do not think to make the main job.

Actually it can get a lot of benefit from gambling, but everyone wins surely people will bet again so earlier gains to be lost. Very hard to become rich by gambling because gambling is just luck. So we can not be lucky and lost a lot of bitcoin in gambling.
Luck is very important in gambling to win and to be rich, just like the reality that we lose in the long run so I think we can be rich in a short run by betting on a jackpot and if we are lucky then that's it.
2531  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you actively spend your bitcoins? on: July 18, 2016, 12:22:18 PM
I guess we can consider exchanging bitcoin to fiat as spending still right?
I've been trading as well like buying some coins such as Lisk, WAVES and BRK lately thru the bitcoins I've earned so yeah i'm spending by btc. Not for a commodity though. if I can spend btc on grocery store i may have spend more to the food i would eat than to the coins.

Yes I guess that is still spending. I do also change it to fiat for many times. I think as long as there is this transaction it is still spending even just putting it in a different wallet for you also pay for that.
That is possible because your bitcoins are both investment and currency, you can easily exchange your bitcoins into fiat and vice versa. It is really good to spend your bitcoins online because it is way more convenient than other payment system.

True. Convenience is a great factor. We dont want anything that takes so long to transact and getting a hard time to send it. This is where bitcoin enters for it can give all of that. Even exchanhing it to fiat is gettig faster.
And the best thing is after you send your payment you can easily see at the public ledger your transaction and that makes you comfortable which gives you assurance that your transaction is transparent.
2532  Economy / Speculation / Re: PANIC BUYING !!!!!!! on: July 18, 2016, 12:19:05 PM
panic buying at bitcoin Huh
hmm... maybe yess today bitcoin strong, we rise arround 3-4% maybe next day we will see bitcoin rise to $700
Probably within two days we can see the $700 Mark.The profit made from buying or selling Bitcoin gives immense pleasure to anyone..
Let us just be conservative, maybe before the end of the month we can see that as I believe that is so close to happen and the moment we can achieve that price it will start to slowly grow or steady with the price range.
2533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: July 18, 2016, 12:16:08 PM
I started using a practice betting site with fake money and I was so good on betting on there so I decided to spend my last penny and Bitcoin to bet and all of a sudden I lost all that money

Well, gambling wreck your life in short...That would be nice if after that incident you already stop gambling immediately.. Coz if not, for sure, you will be donating a lot of money to the gambling site later on..That's a good lesson for you to learn and to never to try again gambling using your real money in hope that you will win bigger if you do that.
Yes gambling only beneficial for owners of gambling sites and a growing number are the same bet the more you give the advantage to the owner of the site. For regular gamblers it can wreck in life and hurt. Although we will win a lot but the average we lose more. So it might have to cease as soon as possible before the addiction.
Hopefully we can do that because base on my research most gamblers who are addicted does not recognize themselves as addict and they still continue to gamble thinking they can win even if they are already accumulated a lot of loses.
2534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: July 18, 2016, 06:13:42 AM
My only strategy in gambling is to play with a very small amount of money and to only play for a very short time.  I use this strategy because I know that gambling is designed to take my money.  With my strategy I can guarantee I won't loose very much and I know exactly how much I'm going to loose, because I have set that specific amount aside ahead of time.  There is no real strategy to "make a profit" in gambling, there is only strategy in minimizing your loses.
You did the right thing, playing with small bets will minimize your losses and will not make you addicted in gambling. We should not let gambling into our life and we should just play it for fun and nothing more.
2535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: July 18, 2016, 06:06:51 AM
In fact, it is not just bitcoin gambling is exploding. A lot of digital stuffs are exploding. Just like esport where the prize pool just get crazier and crazier. For bitcoin and many other digital coins, they are getting more and more attention and more stores start to accept bitcoins too. Digital world is taking over the world.

Yes I agree with you as long as there is technology involved they are really exploding for real. And that is because we are in the modern era where things are just becoming convenient and people tend to invent again and again until they are going to be satisfied with the convenience that their invention can give.

Yup, correct. Where ever Bitcoin is legal and, stores accepted bitcoin there it is exploding. But in another place other digital coins are blowing. But yes bitcoin is exploding because of gambling. In the gambling world, all most all people are using this Bitcoin to do their betting. But I think now Bitcoin is going dowm because all casinos are creating their coins. So I don't know what Bitcoin future is but as for now, it is exploding.
Gambling industry have made a lot of contribution to make bitcoin more popular, me personally I am a gambler and I feel good using bitcoin in my gambling hobbies, I believe this will not stop and will continue to increase.
2536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: July 18, 2016, 06:03:08 AM
I have noticed so many players are just gambling for the sake of profits only. But majority of them loses most of the games eventually as they are not smart players.

So how should we gamble in a smart way so that we do not get more frustrations due to continuous losses?

If a gambler's aim is to get a profit, he must do sportsbetting since it requires knowledge on why the teams will win.
Yeah! In sports betting we have a good chance to win, if you are an sports enthusiast you will love betting in it and that is more important as a gambler to play with passion as it will increase our chances of winning.

Agreed. They are power scorers. KD and Curry are part of 50-40-90 club. Features that can be achieved by players with good shooting abilities. NBA is like a business empire so its ok go with those kinds of decision. And i think there are many shocking trades that happened this season. A season worth to wait and watch.
Yeah! Warriors squad will not exert more effort because they have 4 superstars playing and that would make them easy to win in any games. I would already expect that they will win the western conference finals easy and even the NBA finals.
2538  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: July 18, 2016, 05:48:41 AM
bitcoin give me more income, side job from bitcoin give me 2 times higher than my real job, but sometimes the doubt come at my mind, to go full time on bitcoin , we don't need only a capital, but the mental is more important, the trusted from bitcoin ecosystem must be.

It is better if you are not going quit your day job and you are going to work for both of it. Because having multiple source is always been better to have nothing and only one.
And it is going to help you if you are in need of money / bitcoin. So you don't have to quit any of them.

You got it right better is to be bitcoin as additional income and it's better like that you have then two incomes which is good

but the real problem of people who have multiple job, you can focus at 1 job, it's not easy to focus at my real job, because i feel get more money at bitcoin. maybe i will go full time on bitcoin in next year, hope i have mental and capital to do it.
It is a good decision if you will do that, we should focus on job that will give us a good potential earnings and bitcoins will always give us that one.With bitcoin we can earn in different ways especially in day trading where we can make consistently daily income if we master it.

You have all that in the internet, you just have to select the right kind of business that fits your capability. You cannot do all business because that is too risky, you just have to focus some of it to be successful.

I agree that there are a lot of things in the internet that can make you rich but the thing is that more of them are scams. So, you must be careful as you are going to choose your ways of getting rich.
And it is the best that you are going to choose the legal way so that you can be proud on how you became rich.
You will only be prone to scam if you will choose the investment side but if you will just work online on the offered jobs in the internet you can save an amount that you could use to start your own business.

Lebron is 1 to 6 in NBA Finals if not for choking. I mean Spurs choked in 2013, and so do Warriors in 2016. Those are 2 not convincing rings that details could have changed the outcome.

He has one ring, he won legit vs OKC in 2012.

Going all the way back to the beginning of the NBA you could claim that "details" decided a lot of championships. Including those of most of the ATGs.

It's a dumb argument
We just have to move on and accept that the cavaliers are a good team and lebron especially, why there are a lot of lebron haters, it is not choke as that is part of the game when finals is very crucial.

What's interesting to me is that Duncan and the Spurs didn't pout or make excuses after 2013. They knew they should have won, they believed they were really the better team. And they used that as motivation the entire next season, culminating in kicking Lebron and the Heat's collective ass in 2014. That must have been some of the sweetest revenge imaginable. I wonder if the Warriors, even with Durant, can muster the same mental fortitude.
Warriors will come strong in the next season and that is certain, they have durant and they are more confident than before. It's 4 all stars playing as starters, can any team beat them? I think no chance for other team, the only team that could match them is the cavaliers.
