261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: is it better to invest in bitcoin or ethereum ? on: May 11, 2018, 04:07:35 AM
for long term purpose, which is better to invest in , Bitcoin or Ethereum ? Lets discuss that ..
I'm still leaning towards Bitcoin. perhaps soon still and'm interested in and Ethereum, but not now. until that me and this all suits.

I choose both bitcoin and ethereum because they are the top most valuable coins  for a long time. They had proven their worth and basically these two will be on top as time goes by. All other coins will just stand behind and cannot surpass them.

No one can predict the future, bitcoin will never disappear in the future. In future there is no value for local currency people use only bitcoin for their transactions. Now many countries accept bitcoin so there will be a good change. For this reason many countries will have serious discussion is going on about accepting btcoin

Bitcoin and any other altcoins cannot disappear easily in the future. By any ways and means it will happen but as of the moment these digital money’s roots has grown deeper in the ground. Many people are embracing it as new trend in this fast growing technology. Maybe it only needs to be taken cared of by different countries on how to regulate it properly.

BTC almost break 10k now what will be next ?
If this happening will continue then for sure bitcoin can rise more than what we are expecting. Bitcoin could raise its price higher than it seems. There is no impossible thing for bitcoin.


Yes I see that bitcoin's price now is nearly to reach $10,000 but we should bare in mind also that it may not continually goes up. Anything can happen specially with bitcoin. With cryptocurrency like bitcoin it is unpredictable and volatile in nature. We just have to understand and just find ways how to deal with it.
264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere? on: May 10, 2018, 08:50:33 AM
Because lot of people are getting addicted to the gambling and losing their money without having any control while betting then later they consider gambling causes them to become poor in short time and they will keep spreading wrong information about gambling.And other reason might be religious,in some religion the gambling is consider as sin so many people portray it as negative thing to do.
You just took the words out of my mouth. I have come to realize that most people who term gambling as a negatively are the ones whom have being once addicted to it or have had family members who have been addicted before. You never can blame them because as it is said, experience is always a perfect teachers'. And while some religions regard it as sins is because, they are concerned as sins which can lead one to another sins.


Gambling is negative because it can lead to addiction and financial crisis. The most affected persons are mostly the immediate family of the gambler. It is considered a bad habbit because it will take your time away from your family. Not just time but also attention. A gambler addict usually become uncontrollable and would eventually disregard the most important things in life like the family.

It really helps a lot to those who are new here. It is very important to secure and protect your wallet. Keep it away from thieves that are waiting to get a chance to get your hard earned coins. For me MEW is good as long as you really hide your pinkey in a safe place. I am using MEW until now and I made sure I never use it anywhere else. Changing MEW from time to time is what I am doing.
266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin cannot be a global currency on: May 09, 2018, 02:33:09 PM
It still will. Those who banned crypto in their country will catch up once they realize that bitcoin is dominating the financing institutions in many parts of the world. It's just like any other tech that should be used by many people first until other follow next.


We cannot say that for now, I believe bitcoin is capable of becoming a global currency because of its degree of adaptation. As we can see now a days many people in different countries are now engaged in bitcoin. They are earning money through it. So for me it is not impossible for bitcoin to become a global currency.
267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How to find good icos? on: May 05, 2018, 04:41:13 AM
First thing you look is some detalis - how their website looks. Then the main part is their sponsors or future partnerships that they planed or luckly already realised. Exchanges listings are also important thing. Roadmaps and whitepapers,yes.


I choose ICOs that is managed by people who have several experienced. Trustworthy teammates that are willing to give their best because their names are at stake. And try to look if their project is viable to almost every individual and not just to some certain community. Study the whole range of the business in relation to technologies and cryptocurrency.
268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Hardware wallet on: May 04, 2018, 02:26:23 PM
I still think how if the hardware is damaged, surely you will lose your coins. because the name of the hardware one day will be damaged


Actually I am planning to purchase my first hardware wallet in the near future. I think everybody prefers to put their coins in a hardware wallet because it safer and more secure compare to MEW. But since it is very expensive so I need to join bounties first to acquire one.
269  Economy / Economics / Re: Is your bitcoin earnings enough for you to start a business? on: May 04, 2018, 01:56:45 PM
Yes it does not matter how much we are earning, how little or big what matters is how well we are in managing our money, for sure we can start business even for a little, as for me I am starting my own business buy and sell of motorcycle, not that too easy to sell but at least if you do have the patience you will eventually sell.
Right I agree with you. It all depends on the person managing the money. For a beginner like me the salary of bitcoin is not much but it is enough to meet daily needs and to start a new business. I am collecting a little money every time I follow a signature campaign to try then after a lot of collecting I start a business. Although I already have a business I will still invest some of my money into bitcoin. Business and bitcoin are two things that can be done simultaneously.


Everyone has different earnings in bitcoin. It depends how you work hard like joining bounties to earn more tokens. It depends on the rank of your account too. If your rank is low then you earn less. Don't be too excited to jump into a decision of leaving your current job because you tired of it. You can do both until such time your bitcoin gives you stable income. I believe your idea of doing business out of your earnings in bitcoin is not bad at all.
270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin cannot be a global currency on: May 04, 2018, 03:58:47 AM
I think it won't go well with governments, some nations may have accepted bitcoins and
that's quite a good thing, talks of regulations and taxes may seem to indicate that the
probability of bitcoins becoming a global currency is gaining momentum. But until bitcoins
become stable and fully reliable, I think it's better of as a currency and a commodity.
Though I firmly believe that Bitcoin is the universal global cryptocurrency today, it's the
reigning supreme king of them all, it's influence and impact is paramount.

Well many countries are rejected and banned bitcoin and cryptocurrency. It might hard to accept but i think it takes time to makes cryptocurrency and blockchain technology being accepted by other countries. I'm sure someday in the future, we will apply these into our life, maybe not now but in the future.
Yep, most of countries in most parts of the world are trying to reject or even ban people from using bitcoin on their country. Recently, there have been lots of bad news. As far as we know that bitcoin is quite popular right now. Moreover the speed of development is really fast, even it takes big impact to global economy gradually. All of those reasons can lead bitcoin to be accepted in someday, it is probably an extra currency in the world which helps bitcoin users easily use bitcoin.


As what I have observed bitcoin now is actually used as a currency worldwide. Even if other countries banning it. It is actually used in payment across the globe. So, that only shows bitcoin is now becoming a global currency wither we like it or not.
271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: encourage others to crypto on: May 03, 2018, 09:48:10 PM
Will you encourage others to invest in crypto and explain to them that this is not a scam or a pyramiding activity?
I always do this and try to convey the truth to all my friends who consider cryptocurrencies to be the adventure of the century. But it is very difficult, because the closest thing to your own opinion.


I’ve been trying to explain cryptocurrency and bitcoin with my friends. Some are interested but too lazy to learn. Others are too negative and just listen to what I say and not interested at all. Telling they have no time for such a thing. I don’t mind them I just go with my own because soon they will eventually realize how much they missed.
272  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ten years later on: May 02, 2018, 12:42:49 PM
If in 2018 there is a policy that supports bitcoin in each country will the future be good, it does not take 10 years but it only takes 2 to 3 years to be able to reach maximum value, nobody knows whether by the end of 2018 it becomes glorious for bitcoin or more negative news in every country.

Many people who are experrt in cryptocurrency and digital money like Lee, an expert in market commodities and stock valuations, has made his estimate based on Bitcoin’s limited supply and market stabilization. He’s not the first to make such bullish predictions either. Ronnie Moas, the famous stock picker and strategist has also suggested substantial upside, even in the near term.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: May 02, 2018, 09:32:26 AM
Just curious since the last discussion I had was about gambling vs trading. I know trading can seem to be a bit of a gamble as well, but I see it a little bit like poker. It's a combination of math and psychology. Maybe not the same ratio though, just generalizing  Tongue


From my personal opinion the difference between trading and gambling is that trading should be a constant thing. which is same amount of lot size, risk and take profit level. No matter what instrument or gambling risk is always present, so trading is more to a money management reducing the risk as much as possible but no matter what there is no 0% risk who tells you 0% for trading is cheating you. Trading and gambling can be similar in a way that you will lose back what you win beforehand but trading give you the edge of preserving your capital if you do your money management well and not over stretching or over trading.


In my own point of view gambling and trading are quite relevant and similar in terms. They can be profitable or the other way around. But trading is far better to do because if you are only mindful and careful you have a big chance of earning compared to gambling.
274  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Digital money or virtual currency? on: April 27, 2018, 03:42:05 PM
Sometimes, we just need to dig dipper and understand the real purpose of a new tech, but most of us are unable due to our lifestyle, too busy to pay attention and must focus on the things that are more important (that's what the typical person's think in my country when there's a new trend in technology like cryptos). Let's just have to wait until the time comes for these cryptocurrencies and it's acceptance.


Some countries are not into cryptocurrency and digital technology. They are negative when it comes to digital currency/ virtual money  because they prefer the actual physical money that everybody is used to. There is always a right time for everything, in the coming years it will be known to then and slowly they become used to it and would surely accept it as the new trend in digital technology.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know its time to Stop? on: April 27, 2018, 02:29:01 PM
The best way to stops gambling when we lost everything because if you keep continue you might damage your health. People should treat gambling as fun, not money making scheme and it is always good not to look for higher profits in short period of time.
That is not the best way to stop,if we lost everything we have no option just leave the gambling is only we have.We need to stop before getting addicted to it,for this we need to have limit while gambling and for the money for the gambling.
Definitely gambling is not a money making scheme it is just for entertainment and just test our luck by risking our money so don't go to big extend that we can make lot of money from gambling.

Exactly, but most of the people are thinking gambling is not for fun and it is for quick money making scheme. Few people are two much addicted to gambling because gambling is the easiest way to make money but they never bothered even though they face looses through the gambling.


You know it is time to stop when you reach in the point of your life that you find yourself trap in a deep hole and there is no way out. When nothing is left in you but a penny and nothing else. Everything you work hard for are gone because of being impulsive in gambling. Thinking all the while that you can get back what have lost so you wont stop. In gambling, you must put limitations to avoid being trap in the middle of nowhere.
276  Economy / Speculation / Re: The importance of staying positive, no matter what (the price is) on: April 26, 2018, 02:42:46 PM
But False Hopelessness is way different from staying positive. I'll give you a scenario you are inside a burning house where you are near from the exit. Will you wait for the firefighters to save you or you can save yourself right away just by going out your front door? See that staying positive in the wrong scenario could place you in a wrong position and I don't think you want to be trap in a burning house waiting for help to arrive.

I don't find a lot of logic in your example and reasoning alike. In fact, I'm really curious if you actually don't understand my point. If you are caught in a burning house and you are hopeless, which means being in a state of utter despair - synonymous with being in the most negative state of mind ever possible, you won't be searching for an exit since it is all over for you from your own point of view. The whole idea of staying positive is that it gives you strength and power to look for a way out. That's why your example in real life would actually prove my point. In other words, no matter how bad your circumstances might be staying positive is the optimal strategy, if not overall the best one. Who has more chances to survive, the one who fights and hopes to pull through or the one who succumbs and gives up any hope?

It's not that hard to understand really.


Yes I agree, having a positive thought even how bad the situation is, can somehow give you a little light to stay calm and be able to stay focused on the things you want to do. Staying positive is a good sign of being mature enough to handle different circumstances in life and in cryptocurrency as well.  Knowing the characteristics of bitcoin that is far from being steady. We should have a positive thought or else we shouldn’t be here in the first place.
277  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price of bitcoin has returned above $9,000 for the first time since March!! on: April 25, 2018, 09:04:42 AM
The price of bitcoin has returned above $9,000 for the first time since March, having risen by more than a third in value over the last two weeks.
Do you think this is a good sign? Smiley


Yes is a good sign that bitcoin is now recovering now and I hope that it will be continue to go higher and higher so lots or my people make a profit this year.

Yes it is indeed a good sign, seeing bitcoin slowly recovering. The green sign brings new hope to all bitcoiners around the globe. Hoping it will continue to rise and gain stability until the end of the year.
278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: April 25, 2018, 05:38:12 AM
Gambling really does not bring real value to the society and the gambler itself. The first thing to gamble is to transfer money from one wallet to another. Gambling takes us time and destroys our health, losing our passion for labor. Gambling makes people greedy and vicious.
That is just one plain truth and whether we like it or not, even some of those who keep saying they are in for the fun, is just a way to keep oneself in check from becoming an addict. With the way gambling has turned some people into liabilities in the society; it has done more harm than good and has only enriched the pocket of those who own the casinos as they keep making money off people's greed and carelessness.


There are many consequences and serious impact of gambling. It includes emotional, physical and financial health of individuals who gamble and not only to them personally but to their families also. They lost control of themselves, the lost control on time and money and even ignore other important responsibilities in their families.
279  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Hacking is the Big Problem on: April 25, 2018, 03:37:12 AM
Hackers are people who are hated by everyone in this world. Hackers can come anytime and take our money at will without permission. To make sure our money is safe, we must ensure that our wallet storage is secure from the people around, and storage can be done in hardware that is not connected to the internet, so as not to be detected from hackers virus when we are online.
I don't understand your concept about hackers,if there is someone hated by everyone means there are hacker?

Hackers are who are well developed in the skills of commuter who uses their knowledge to make money easily by stealing the money through technologies,but it is not a big problem here because crypto currencies cannot be hacked only they can be stolen if you keep it in a unsecured place.

In my own opinion any  act that go against or violate the law in the internet is considered hacking. It is truly a big problem that needs to be addressed properly. The people behind this are abusing their knowledge and ability to take control of others accounts and steal. Not all the time we can protect our ourselves from them but as much as possible we need to always secure our accounts and pin keys.
280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: April 24, 2018, 08:06:22 AM
I think iit's very difficult.
some of my friends have done everything can to get out completely from gambling.
But in the end they still play gambling at leisure. it is difficult, because gambling has become prt of life for people who never played.


To quit gambling for good, one should find another hobby to entertain himself. The decision of leaving must also be his own will and not because other people told to do so. Do healthy habits like exercise and jogging. Avoid getting along with gamblers and stay away from drinking of liquors to make your mind stay focused on your goal.
