2521  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: qBot.io - Instant exchanges with artificial intelligence, return with profit on: September 12, 2019, 02:31:33 PM
I hate when people use words like "Blockchain Technologies", "Artificial Intelligence" and similar ones in promoting products that have nothing to do with those words.
Also please don't think that it adds any trust to any project when they state company is registered in UK, yeah we know it's great country which was historically great everytime and is still now but it's super easy to obtain such license because a lot of HYIPs do that.
Also words like we aren't engaged in risky activities so you can trust and etc are very old too. In overall you leave very bad impact.
2522  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin and exchangers this is getting interesting Now guys!! on: September 12, 2019, 12:43:01 PM
By the way there are a lot of people who have just come bitcoins (I mean numbers of 0.01 and similar) and they prefer to use wallets like Xapo and exchange through it. By the way this statistics still means something but it will be more interesting to see how situation changes during bitcoin's price rise and fall, for example how it was when price was 9K and then suddenly turned into 13k, did it cause growth in number of transactions? Or were transactions even higher when price was 9k? It will be nice to have picture of it.
2523  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Savings Vs Investment? on: September 12, 2019, 10:46:30 AM
The situation here is very simple. First you have to make savings then invest. If you limit yourself only to savings, then you can never count on significant success and income. Therefore, many people simply have no choice.
I think he means overall plan in goal. There are some people who thinks: Just give me million and I'll spend my life as I wish. But on the second hand there are some people who are billionaires and even more, what they do? As I see almost everyone invests, only silly ones save. You may ask, you have million and lets spend life, why are you looking for new challanges. I would say that it's not so easy to be millionaire and a lot of people don't want to take that work what being a millionaire requires. You have to keep your money which is as hard as becoming a millionare or if you aren't wise in your job, you'll get poor pretty soon.
So to make it clear, I vote for investments. It has it's fun too, whole captivation is that you never stop, do and do a lot of things, create something new with your money and watch how it grows or maybe falls but at least you learn from it.
2524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Money is Dirty Money on: September 12, 2019, 08:45:45 AM
This to me is a traditional view which remains persistent until the very day.

My mother considered gambling as playing with money. She sternly reminded us not to gamble. When I was in college, there was a hot debate within the church whether or not to accept donations coming from dirty sources such as gambling. And in Islam, gambling (maysir) is haram (forbidden). [1]

I have a friend whose father would not serve the family food bought using gambling money.

And just a few years ago, our Education Secretary shunned billions of state-funds because they are coming from gambling. She didn't think it moral and proper to buy books and even build classrooms using the dirty gambling money. [2]

What are your thoughts on these? Do you agree with it, or you consider these as old-fashioned views?

Ah I understand what and how they think, you don't have to build your happiness on someone's sadness, yeah, I agree with you but did anyone pushes any player to sell house and gamble with that amount of money? Of course no but what to do with people who gamble just for fun? Are such incomes still bad? For example imagine I have dedicated budget (max 50$ monthly) to gamble with, I gamble daily with 2$ just for fun because this casino offers game which I like with it's game idea, structure and design, can't find something 100% analogue for free. Is there still anything wrong here? There are also some gamblers who gamble with thousands of dollars because they are very rich and it's nothing for them, they get extra fun from it.
2525  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Request] A Lightning Network Plugin to monetize old games on: September 12, 2019, 08:24:16 AM
When I was young, I had crazy dreams too but to be fair you dream something that's not even benefitial. Don't take it wrong, I have nothing against people who play video games and want to be professional gamer but that's not beneficial in overall, it's a work that can give you pleasure but can't give any benefit to society or other 3rd party person. So that's the reason to my mind why the things that you stated aren't so developed and still there isn't much wish, work and afford in it.
By the way it's quite possible to achieve what you wish, there is just a need of required people to work on it (of course copyrights must be protected, otherwise it's not even possible).
2526  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency and blockchain adoption on: September 12, 2019, 07:59:15 AM
There is no doubt crypto and blockchain edoption is really going on and on, that's good and I want to tell you OP that there are even better news.
1. Now it's possible in Ohio, USA to pay taxes in Bitcoin.
2. Australian Tax Office allows you to claim for lost private keys (still doubt why and how they're gonna do that, but mostly why?).
3. Brazil started birth registry by using Blockchain Technologies.
4. Georgia makes land title registry by using Blockchain Technologies.
5. As far as I remember Mastercard patented something related to blockchain technologies.
So yeah, adoption is massive but on first steps, it's more likely blockchain under attention.
2527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin get banned worldwide? on: September 12, 2019, 07:28:24 AM
Bitcoin, the crypto currency, has become huge in popularity over the recent years.

One of the main features i like about bitcoins is its transactions are anonymous. But that makes me wonder if a time will come when it will be banned worlwide. It has started in many countries.


Transactions are more anonymous if you use Monero, so no need to blame only bitcoin for it, money laundering and etc. Also you may know Linux is a great thing along with VPN and Tor's combination for good anonimity, will they ban all of this too? Oh, they want to fix transaction availability? How will they ban it? Don't they think that even if they succeed there will be even better and harder way which will be far worse for governments to fix? I think it will be better if they won't repeat over and over that bitcoin is used for money laundering and this coin is danger for us. They are the real dangers which needs to be fixed, not bitcoin and freedom.
2528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The house edge on: September 12, 2019, 06:39:05 AM
Hello guys,

So I'm interested in gambling sites, to be precise, that have the best user edge and many options like "stop loss" and controls like "auto spin". Which one do you use. I have found some but only that require deposit or shit like that. So I am open for any good advice? And no spam please!

Thank you,
Angell
Specifically which games are you looking for? If you wish to play dice, I can to say that Bitsler has standart 1% house edge, stop loss and auto roll option, I think it's all you are looking for but at the same time, this casino offers you free wagering contest with btslr coin so there is no need to deposit money for those "wishes", with free bitsler coins you have even ability to participate in wagering contest and win some money if you are lucky. But keep in mind that on low levels there are less bitsler coins given.
2529  Economy / Speculation / Re: I bought a bitcoin today for 9K and sold when it hit 10K should I Of left it? on: September 11, 2019, 11:53:05 PM
Should I buy back in or do you guys think it might drop?

I’m more of a day trader so any advice would be hugely beneficial.

New to this but happy with making a grand.
The choice hugely depends on you, if you want quick and nice profit without extra worries, I think it's better to sell that time when price hits your wished 10k but otherwise if that's the money you don't and won't have a need to use for a lot of times, then I would hold it. Personally I think it's like a gold rule: Bitcoin will reach it's all time high, it's just a task of time, wait. don't break and you'll achieve your goal.
2530  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading at the Bitcoin.com exchange... on: September 11, 2019, 11:18:14 PM
Bitcoin.com?
You man the Roger Ver Brigade and the Bitcoin Cash shills?
The chaps who keep saying that Bitcoin isn't actually bitcoin and Bitcoin cash is the real bitcoin?

Why would one waste time with such suckers yet there are better exchanges like
- Binance
- Bittrex
- Huobi etc
By the way that doesn't mean that exchanger is or will be bad, we know his opinions about bitcoin and how he tries his best for promoting bitcoin cash but I amn't against using his service if it's good. By the way this exchanger will be great for those who trade with BCH, I don't know their rates exactly but I think it will be most beneficial for bch traders because of the nature of Roger Ver's, won't be amazed if he decide to offer BCH deposit bonus on his exchange.
2531  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: UK businesses can now accept Bitcoin payments using CoinCorner Checkout on: September 11, 2019, 11:05:43 PM
Pretty good news but one facts makes me sad and hope you'll take care of it. A lot of HYIP websites are UK based because UK has great reputation and at the same time it's very easy to get named SSL certificate, combination of these factors makes it easier for scammers to scam a lot of people. So most of them are using bitcoin as a payment method, hope you'll have some criterias for accepting websites because it's a shame to include such customers.
2532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling just for fun? on: September 11, 2019, 07:15:28 PM
There are some people gamble and lose. if you ask them why do you gamble? They will answer you "just for fun"
They know they are loser in long term and no strategy works, but continue to gamble for fun.
How can enjoy something that you know you will lose? Is losing money really enjoyable? Isn't there any other entertainment you can enjoy?
I think these people are still hopeful of winning back previous losses or they are addicted. Gambling cannot be just for fun. There are many free games too.
Man seems you didn't understand one thing here, don't look gambling like a way of losing money. When you want to play assassin's creed for example, you have to buy and pay in disk, yeah? So look gambling that way too. You have to pay some money in order to play online casino games. But it fully depends on you how much you gonna pay, you can play with minimum money and get satisfied if it's really for fun, worths for some bucks.
2533  Economy / Economics / Re: Paper Money - The Greatest Scam on: September 10, 2019, 09:16:59 PM
I would say that paper currency is the greatest scam ever to enslave mankind.

Bankers charge interest for a thing which has been created out of thin air.

The paper currency gradually decreases in its value due to inflation over time.

So naturally people tend to move towards cryptos which are free from inflation and the bankers and big economists once again want to pull back people to the traditional enslaving system.

Now the choice is yours.

Enslavery or Financial Freedom?

Think Wise and Twice.
Has the fact that bankers charge interest to do something with paper money? Won't they do the same on crypto? They even require much exchange percentage on crypto rather than on usd/euro for example.
But the paper money is scam for one thing, inflation, why sometimes 1$ is 1.5$ and sometimes 0.5$? Governments print a lot of money and then we have to pay for their debt, so it's scam in overall and government is scammer, taxes alone aren't enough for them. We need something with limited quantity and bitcoin is best for that.
2534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you still excited when there is news about the real Satoshi coming up on: September 10, 2019, 06:45:55 PM
There is now a lot of news about Satoshi Nakamoto coming up or uncovered are you still excited every time there is news about new discovery on who Satoshi Nakamoto is and his whereabouts.

We have fed by so many lies about this Nakamoto pretenders some of them are good storyteller some of them might be true I have a hard time analyzing the best version of the story.
Man hides identity from the very first start and then fights to claim it? Any logic here? I think it must be clear why he decided to hide identity, it would be trouble for him and this way he will feel safe and do everything what he wishes + remember how much bitcoin he owns.
So almost in 100% cases, if anyone claims he is satoshi, it's because they want to be under attention for a while, for a while because soon they ruin everything and everyone knows their false claims.
2535  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Coinsbee.com - Buy gift cards with about 50 crypto currencies! on: September 10, 2019, 05:55:36 PM
It's really great to see a new service doing this.
But...you are going to have to get a lot more competitive in price.

Using XBox $25 US card
You are asking BTC0.0025336305368
egifter.com even after the $0.40 additional fee that bitpay.com charges is 0.002414. If you pay with other coins egifter is even cheaper.
Plus, they have their loyalty points.


So congratulations on the new service.
The website is easy to navigate. The multi region cards are great. Get the price down and you will have my business.

-Dave



Hi Dave, thank you for the feedback! We have overworked our prices. We can not always be cheaper than egifter. But now the XBox $25 US card is 0.00239BTC. So we are cheaper now.

We would be very happy to win you as a customer.

Do you have more Feedback for us?
Maybe you can't but you need for attracting customers and continue growing. Btw I like your service, especially the fact that we can buy with up to 50 cryptocurrency, the more good websites will be in egifts, the better for customers.
By the way as I see some of gift cards (I mean value in usd) are out of stock and what about to add pre order options? Maybe I want and need exactly 250$ instead of 200 and 50 becausr I send gift to someone? Consider this too, otherwise design and etc is pretty good.
2536  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to promote my privacy-related project ? on: September 09, 2019, 01:50:30 PM
At first you have to make something really great to make whole process easier and see for example how Tor was promoted in past. As it was stated already, reddit is a great place for that because you'll find a lot of people there on privacy related subreddits. On another hand you can also introduce your project on hacking related forums. If your product is really great and beneficial for people looking privacy, this makes whole process a lot easier because they'll promote it themselves.
2537  Economy / Economics / Re: Differences between an investor and common man! on: September 09, 2019, 01:03:20 PM
Investor can start huge business while common man has to build everything from nothing which takes time and this time can be so much that it can take your whole life while investor with huge amount of money can achieve such thing in some years but at the same time there is one big difference, a common man always achieves more because he has nothing and wants everything, it's a big stimulus for some people. Just see, most successful people were poor people in past.
Also once common man risks, he may be left without house and investor has much stronger back.
2538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto hodling as a form of gambling! on: September 09, 2019, 11:11:57 AM
Yeah, it's not different from gambling, there is no need to directly gamble on website to call it gambling. Let's compare hodling to bustabit, you hold it until it reaches your aimed price but difference is that you are the only one who crushes there, if you can't afford to wait for price rise and fall makes you afraid, then holding isn't for you because you turn yourself into loss instead of profit. There are some people whom don't have self-control in gambling and so is the same in holding.
2539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why haven't governments illegalized bitcoin transactions? on: September 09, 2019, 09:44:05 AM
I have heard some stories about making bitcoin transactions illegal. It's all been a humor and I don't think any government have officially made bitcoin transactions illegal. Why is that?
Many governments are trying to regulate bitcoin, control exchanges and force people to be authorized. But I am sure government wish bitcoin was not created and there was no trouble of regulating bitcoin. They  prefer their fiat to any other currency.
Why no government have made bitcoin transactions illegal?
I think they want to avoid creating an underground market.They don't want bitcoin to be traded like Alcohol and drugs. They have to accept bitcoin as they cannot stop a decentralized network and now they can only try to regulate it. Do you agree with me? Is there any other things have caused governments to not make bitcoin illegal?
It's pretty easy to make bitcoin illegal and for example India plans to do that but why? Is there benefit behind this idea? I think no. Also there are a lot of mining datacenters, exchanges which bring a good money in budget. Also governments at some point need bad guys, money is made during these processes. Also if you make bitcoin illegal can you imagine what it will cause? Even harder ways for governments to solve another upcoming problem. By banning something you can't stop it, you just make it difficult to detect again and I think that must be clear for everyone.
Also why to say that governments would never wish bitcoin to be created? After all they happily try to get something from it, implementing of blockchain technologies.
2540  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is honestmining a scam? on: September 05, 2019, 06:42:45 PM
Time and again at least once a week folks continue to ask that question and the answer will always be the same: Virtually ALL cloudmining operations are scams. Period.

If you want to mine you need your own hardware to do it.
By the way that answer was written down below to your post.
The problem isn't that we have to give same answer on such questions, problem is that people ask and ask them again and again, they don't ask this question: What benefit to cloud mining companies with my money especially when they offer so amazing promises. Yes, they don't ask this question to public and to themselves too.
Even real mining doesn't work well and why the hell will cloud generate any income for you.
