You're probably talking about the Bitcoin forks, right?

In that sense, you indeed have 1 Bitcoin, 1 Bitcoin Cash and 1 Bitcoin Gold if you have access to the private keys of addresses that held coins at the time of the forks.
There is still only 1 Bitcoin though, the other ones (Bitcoin Cash & Bitcoin gold) are actually altcoins.

Aside from this, 1 Bitcoin will always be 1 Bitcoin.

First of all, your website loads very slow for me and I know it has nothing to do with my connection.

Second, you're charging pretty hefty prices for advertisement on a website that has no traffic. Those prices are in Bitcoin right?
You're asking 1 BTC for ads on the top of the grid, 0.10 BTC for the middle and 0.01 BTC for the bottom, way too expensive.

How are you planning on driving traffic to your website?
2623  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How did you start your first deal? on: November 23, 2017, 12:30:58 PM
My first experiences with trading crypto were on Kraken and LocalBitcoins, first bought some Bitcoin from someone through LBC to play around with, lost most of those (around 30 euros).
After that, I bought one Bitcoin on Kraken for around 200 or 300 euros I think, the Bitcoin price was still pretty low back then.

I made a nice profit on Kraken by trading Bitcoin and Litecoin, I remember Litecoin being a lot more volatile too.

Maybe the technology hasn't evolved much from your own point of view because you've not experienced the evolution, but I can assure you that Bitcoin is changing from a technical point of view.
Soon we'll have more wallets that will have segwit enabled addresses, that's something everybody will benefit from.

Also don't forget about atomic swaps in the future, making cross chain exchange of crypto currency possible.

The only thing that matters for me regarding the value of Bitcoin is that it keeps moving upwards over the long term, whether it's slow or fast doesn't matter to me.

Quality shit post right here  Grin

Seriously though, I would be interested in seeing what kinds of bets that you make, perhaps someone could even help you analyze what you're doing wrong.
How long have you been betting and losing? Are we talking about a couple of losing streaks or literally losing every game you've played for years?

You've never cashed out anything?
2626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin casino's are the FUTURE! on: November 22, 2017, 01:23:28 PM
A lot of people like to play  bitcoin casino because it is anonymous, and the process to deposit and withdrawal is very fast, bitcoin casino and traditional casino both got is positive side, in real casino, you can feel the atmosphere where a lot of people cheering for the winner and as I know you can cash out into fiat at the point you want to go from the casino, Bitcoin casino is quite convenient to use, but bitcoin casino will not able to replace real casino

I really don't agree with most of what you are saying. I think that there are quite a lot of people who don't want to go to a physical casino just because there are so many people around you.
Online gambling in general is a lot more popular than gambling in a real casino, partly for this reason.

The US might be a bit of an exception, since online gambling is heavily regulated and land-based casinos are still popular there.
This might also drive people towards Bitcoin casinos instead of traditional online gambling websites.
2627  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Searching for your opinions for small RealEstate project on: November 22, 2017, 12:39:37 PM
This looks like a pretty interesting project to invest in, if I can find some more information about some of your team members.
I mean, it would only make sense to invest if some of your team has a proven track record in real estate management.

Your team member, Jakob Hürlemann, has 5 years of experience in real estate management. Is there any way to verify this?
I'm always a bit skeptical about these kinds of claims in general, they're usually a bit exaggerated. (Not saying that this is the case here though)

Aside from that it looks pretty good, I like the fact that you have a clear roadmap and offer a clear explanation regarding the token distribution and set-up of the smart contract.

You do need to translate the whitepaper in English, or I might have missed the English version perhaps?
2628  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Should I Be Scared Of Hackers If I Have Lot of BTC. on: November 22, 2017, 11:45:38 AM
You can be frightened because the hackers will definitely make the way to steal your Bitcoins. It's best to look at the website you're going to know and know it's not a phishing site. You'll see it right on the side. It should be MYETHERWALLET LLC [US] - look at my screenshots. Please be careful because we worked hard for our money and did not let it be hacked by hackers



While it's always a good idea to check if the website in question has HTTPS, it's not a complete safeguard from getting phished.
Certificates can be forged, hackers can trick you into thinking that you're on the correct website, though usually you can notice pretty easily if you're not on the correct website.

That said, I wouldn't use an online wallet to store any significant amounts of Bitcoins.
2629  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the anti government on: November 22, 2017, 10:54:33 AM
I think 80% of people are anti government , it is just because some of the law of governments are causing people be in poverty . some people also thinks that the government didn't do anything for their own countrymen ..
I really doubt the number is that big, I'm sure most people's view is a bit more nuanced than that.
If your statement was correct, that would mean that 80% of people are basically all for anarchy, since that's what it basically comes down to if you're anti-government.

Most people probably feel that the government needs to change, but they're still glad that there is a government.

Also, posting these statistics without any sources to back them up doesn't do any good. I can also make up some numbers and use them to fit my agenda.

Current leaders of our Monthly Wagering Contest are listed in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1850986.msg24926901#msg24926901

It might be a good idea to also include some of the less popular altcoins in the wagering competition.

I know that you guys pick coins that are also included in the lottery, since you give out lottery tickets as a prize. But it would be fun to also include Peercoin or Gridcoin for example, without any lottery tickets as a prize.
Wagering contests are always reserved for the high rollers, but more casual gamblers might have a chance if it's a less wagered coin. Plus I'm sure investors (of those coins) won't mind the extra activity.

Anyway, it's just something I thought about because the wagering contest prizes seem unattainable for someone who just gambles for around 200 dollars worth of crypto a month Tongue


4 of 9 (10 incl. playmoney) available coins are included in wagering contest.
Yeah I know, but it's always the same coins that are also available in the lottery game, no? Just suggesting to add some of the less popular coins Smiley

2632  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What price range do you like to buy in to? on: November 21, 2017, 02:31:13 PM
I've already mentioned this in another post in the altcoin section, but I'll partially repeat it here.

These past couple of months I've been mainly focusing on Bitcoin and the majority of my funds are invested in Bitcoin (minus a couple of alts).
The growth of Bitcoin has exceeded the growth of altcoins on apretty regularly basis now, so I don't see a point in moving my majority of funds away from Bitcoin.

Any altcoins I do have are mostly established altcoins that have been at the top of Coinmarketcaps (trading volume) for quite a while now. However, I do not hold significant amounts.
I mostly have some Litecoin, Dash and Monero, maybe a bit of Ethereum somewhere.
2633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Continue my losing streak on: November 21, 2017, 02:15:32 PM
Why do you even continue betting if you're having such a long losing streak? Sounds like you're getting addicted if you can't even quit after losing continuously.
Nobody would want to give you money to go on with this, you're obviously not winning anything so forget about any roi...

Just take a break from gambling and don't make the same mistakes in the future. If you're losing, call it quits sooner rather than later.
2634  Economy / Gambling / Re: ★Crypto-Games.net ★ 10 coins ★ 7 games ★ Since 2014 ★ Wagering contest! on: November 20, 2017, 02:05:33 PM
So in a years time Crypto-Games has tripled its profit for investors... Does this mean that the player base has also almost tripled or have there just been more high rollers, combined with a streak of bad luck for them?


Player base has more then tripled, but average online users count has doubled in one year. Profit generated by site is random, but few large changes of profit were caused by high rollers.

That's good to hear, it has certainly been a bit more active in chat than a year ago Smiley

Guessing that investors might notice some pretty big changes in the short term due to high rollers, but it evens out over a longer period of time.
2635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 10k Bitcoin upcoming!? What are your plans for the Alts? on: November 20, 2017, 12:41:32 PM
I still hold a couple of altcoins but the majority of my investments are in Bitcoin and it will stay that way if Bitcoin continues to rise.
If the Bitcoin price drops over 500 dollars, I might want to temporarily buy a rising altcoin to sweep in a profit when BTC inevitably rises again.

But at this time, it's just not a good idea to hold that many altcoins instead of just Bitcoin, the difference in growth is pretty big.
2636  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BTC prediction [BETA] on: November 20, 2017, 12:25:20 PM
I think people are a bit too hard on you here, I actually like the concept of this.

You should definitely first start by explaining on your website how you've calculated those graphs.
Try to give a more in depth explanation on the bottom of the page, I know you've added the calculations when you hover over points on the graph.

Also make the graph a bit more clear, the x-axis (timeline) isn't very readable, make it a bit more user friendly by using actual time increments instead of just numbers.
2637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you get active gambler referrals in Casino sites through campaigns? on: November 20, 2017, 12:04:36 PM
I've got a few active referrals through the Crypto-Games campaign, made some referral earnings but not that much.

Have a look at my stats:



I have to add that I had forgotten to add my referral link to my signature when the signature design was last updated, so missed out on a month of earnings or so :p
Just noticed today by accident that it wasn't there Cheesy

Profit chart since November 2016 for Bitcoin investors!


--IMAGE--


a year ago:
profit: 347.68 BTC

now:
profit: 1,037.24 BTC


Catch the winning spirit!
So in a years time Crypto-Games has tripled its profit for investors... Does this mean that the player base has also almost tripled or have there just been more high rollers, combined with a streak of bad luck for them?

Would also like to see an up to date profit comparison with other casinos, I remember seeing a comparison chart a while back, but I think it's outdated. CG came out as one of the best casinos to invest in (If I remember correctly). If anyone could PM me a link to the old comparison chart, that would be great. (do not post it in this thread though)
2639  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion - Report to moderator on: November 18, 2017, 12:44:59 PM
Yeah it would be pretty handy if you could write some more information in that text box, especially for reporting individual posts.
I usually don't report too many posts just because it's difficult to explain the reason in such a small text box.

Example from just a few days ago:

OP is looking for trading software to be able to trade manually on several exchanges, states that he isn't looking for a trading bot.
Several people start suggesting trading bots to him, even right under a post from OP stating again that he isn't looking for a trading bot.

It just annoys me that some people don't even read a single thing in the OP, they just reply to the title.

The people who do this are usually just members, but they're enrolled in some ICO's signature campaign.

Edit:
Btw, it seems like a lot of work for the mods to view these kinds of posts in the full context. It might just take too much time for them to read every thread and then interpret the post of the reported users
2640  Economy / Economics / Re: WTF? $20.000.000.000 have poured into BCH in a couple of days on: November 17, 2017, 05:28:40 PM
  Of course Media helps a lot too.
Yes they do and one of the biggest culprits was coindesk.com

They have a lot to answer for, it wouldn't surprise me if they were offered money to pump BCH and FUD Bitcoin, they could not produce new articles of FUD about Bitcoin fast enough, all over social media.

Anyone know who owns Coindesk? 
Coindesk is owned by Digital Currency Group, you can find it on their Wikipedia page.
There have been quite a few other news outlets promoting Bitcoin Cash as well though, so it's not just Coindesk.

Heck, Coindesk might just be rehashing some of the news from other websites, they all do this.
