Nice imaginative article!!
But it is literally not possible to be free from this 'banking' and 'regulation' bondage as you have to belong from some nationality. Otherwise, you will have hide yourself for the rest of your life which is not possible for everyone.
Bitcoin is a path braking innovation and it certainly gives some degree of financial freedom to the people and nothing else.
Bitcoin helps to have sort of financial privacy in the future when everything will be controlled, but as you pointed, it's not the end-all-be-all of privacy, because we are still subjected to government control. I mean, you can't expect to buy real state with Bitcoin without the government noticing that you own a house or something, you can only buy smaller stuff that doesn't raise alarms. There's no way to escape from government taxes for the serious stuff unless you want to get in real problems and I would rather just pay whatever taxes if I buy a car or a house and be able to sleep at night. |

No, I don't think I have won more than 0.2 BTC in gambling, considering all the wins and loses, so not much to be seen. But I have been up to 3 BTC sometimes in some games, but due greed I was still pushing for more and lost it (but the initial gamble was small, like 0.01 BTC), so I have never won a lot, but never lost a lot either.

Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
I believe that it should be your own choice of you want to gamble or not. it is your life and you should decide what you are going to do with it. that gambling is a sin, it is in the book at all agamar, but it's your choice if you still want to play Book at all agamar? What kind of books is that, and what is agamar? Never heard this kind of book before, could you please tell us more about it? Well, it's a book that is in my hometown, it explains about things that should not be done. therein is said that gambling is something that is forbidden, so I conclude it to be like that. Well, basically gambling is a game that could lead to sin, so do not even try if you have never played Lol so gambling is a sin because you read it in some book that is in your hometown? that seems like nonsense to me... There is no such thing as sin or non-sin if you are not religious, and im not religious because I think all religions are man-made bullshit, therefore I will gamble if I want to, but guess what, gambling a lot is stupid, so I will never lose any relevant amounts of money because im not an idiot. |

We have tested that resistance again in the last hours and we are correction again back to 450-455. I think that in no time we will see a third attempt to destroy this 470 selling ceiling and once this ceiling is trespassed, then it's pretty much free highway all the way up to 500, then we will test 500 for a while again, and hopefully we crush it quick.

If bitcoin disappear many crypto currency will gone also. So i think if bitcoin disappear this is the end of crypto currency.
in 2030, bitcoin will stop,and all bitcoin users will feel panic This is nonsense, in 2030 Bitcoin will be at 6 figures and the ones that didn't buy early on will not only feel panic, but depression and despair at being reminded on a daily basis that they were wrong by not buying at 400, 700, or 1000. They will realize that in the long term, it was absolutely meaningless if you bought at any price as long as it was under 5 figures. |

I think that the banks will simply coexist. There will always be people that never feel safe enough by running their own finance,s so they will feel safer if they handle it to someone else because they think they may do something stupid like losing their password or whatnot. Not everyone feels like being responsible of your own finances is a plus unfortunately.

The only mistake possible to do with Bitcoin is not buying when it was cheaper, and that's exactly what I did. I ignored Bitcoin because everyone that knew about it was clueless and only talked about what they saw on the mainstream news, so I thought it was something for criminales, so I just ignored it. This made me not buying Bitcoin when it was like 12 dollars. Thanks mainstream life, for ruining my life since I could be rich as fuck right now. Well, I will be rich in 10 years when Bitcoin is 100k a coin, but waiting sucks.

Yes it's the currency of the people, do you think the smart people that saw the value of Bitcoin when it was worthless for 99% of people out there are aliens and not people? do you think they don't deserve it because they believed in the project no one else did? get a grip.
Also, eventually they will start selling, in the long long term the supply with get more even, but we still have a long way up for that, so get in while it's cheap and stop complaining.

You should have bigger worries than thinking if gambling is a sin or not. I recommend everyone to stop following any religion and start acting for yourself, stop looking for answers in some ancient books that didn't even knew that Bitcoin would exist. Religions just don't make sense anymore in 2016, it's about self reflection and ascending through knowledge.

Today i went on to 0.06+ from 0.031 depo playing safe margins when  HIT ME!!and made me cry like this:-  Whats your loss story?Share here yup i know someone had gone from 0.03 to 3 btc on satochi dice doing the with the safe margin thing a chance of loss = 3% but u gain 3% too so i think it did like alot of times lol I think I have a special ability to make a lot of BTC out of a small BTC gamble in the progressive slots like the ones in bitcoinvideocasino.com and then losing it because I don't 'know when to stop. I start with like 0.01 and make 1 BTC or more, but instead of cashing out I continue gambling like an idiot and lose it all. At least I never lose much since I always do small bets. |

wait until $50.000
Why not wait until $100.000? we will get there anyway. The higher we get, the higher the ceiling of possibilities. People will start considering higher and higher prices the higher we go in an endless loop until Bitcoin sucks all the fiat out of stupid stucks, assets, and commodities all over the world. We'll reach the trillion dollar marketcap long term goal, I have no doubts on my mind about this. |

I brought few of them and invested on cloud mining service, not much just to see how it goin'
You need to be careful while investing in cloud mining, as majority of sites are ponzi which will scama you and giving nothing in return. I was considering investing in hashocean. I see so many people making profits there that im tempted. I can't help but think it's a ponzi and a random day investors will wake up and those that didn't get their investment back will suffer the most, since if you at least managed to make some profit you wouldn't care if it goes to hell anyway. |

That forum is specific for development of Bitcoin, so I don't see how mentioning something about how R3 is shilling their "blockchain technology" thing for example, is going to fit on that board. Such threads will probably get moved elsewhere. The altcoin subforum is probably a place to talk about this, since anything that isn't Bitcoin is by default alt-something. |

He could have been Satoshi, but he couldn't... no way to prove it. If I had to bet, I would bet for Dave Kleiman being satoshi, there's way more chances the guy was satoshi compared to the chances of Craig S Wright being satoshi, and a lot of the media is not covering this guy, they didn't even mention it on the BBC article.

It shouldn't matter, but unfortunately it does since humans are hard wired to follow leaders, so they want to know who is the guy that started it all, and im sure they would listen to him a lot about how to make Bitcoin look like in the future, that's why we have a lot of people with interests to pass as Satoshi (the Craig hoax is a clear example)

So the bet is over? There is this new news about how in September someone from the "tulip trust" will make an apparition, so who knows what will happen next. I still think this guy is related to the early days of bitcoin but this doesn't mean he is not a scammer and so are all the rest of people involved in this. There's also a possibility this is a PSYOPs agent.

Gambling does not let many people cry I think. It would be awful if you saw a grown man crying because he lost with gambling. I think that people would cry if they would win the jackpot or something. They would cry out of joy instead of pain.
True, but there are some people who should really cry becausew they've lost the whole fortune, really big sums. It's very easy to become adictive and they you can't define your limits. But I agree that there shouldn't be situations when people cry because of gambling. Gamblers only cry when they lost a bet that they cannot afford to lose, usually they are the poor or in the middle class who priorities gambling over their basic needs. They usually don't listen to an advise because they are very one sided who don't understand the risk of gambling. A true gambler doesn't cry haha I guess. But when a big amount is involve in losing it will really make you cry. Losing big amount in gambling will make all of us cry. Or if you are lucky man winning big amount also could make you cry. Tears of joy, maybe. I think everyone cry who come to involve in gambling, but only those people who have a lot of wealth and they invest only that amount which they can easily afford to lose, do not cry as they have prepared themselves for the lose. I cried when I lost my money not intended for betting, that money was suppose to be given to my wife for our daily expenses for the month. I was drunk that time and got tempted and because of tilt I chase and chase my bets until all my money was gone. That's my sad experience but I have already accepted it and learned from it although in a hard way. Yeah that's pretty stupid, never gamble with money that is supposed to go for daily expenses ffs. And never drink and gamble, it's the same as never drink and drive, it's a very lethal combination, you might end up dying in both situations. Some people has committed suicide after doing stupid gambles in the past so stay safe. |

I think it is still a bit too early to attribute the price increase with the Halving event. The media hype has not even started yet, and all the focus has been on the CW and Satoshi BS. I would start looking at a price increase as a direct spinoff from the Halving, once the mainstream media starts talking about the event. Most of the talk about the Halving has been centered around Bitcoin related forums and websites, and this is not read by the average person on a daily basis.  Interest in google searches has increased a lot worlwide in the later days, thanks to the Craig W being Satoshi news:  This, coupled with the advances in scaling bitcoin and all the cool BIP and new features being added, + the underlying psychological hype of the halvening = moon time. |

Online wallet = a gamble about your money not being lost in a "hack" (inside job) or the company legitimately going backup or actually hacked/robbed. Their business is buying your trust with promises of your Bitcoins safe, and they make money with withdraw and deposit fees and ad revenue from the traffic, simple as that.

It is not a problem if Bitcoin was created the government or any 3 letter agency because basically it's open source, so since it's open source we can know what the program does. This is why it doesn't matter who satoshi was, we can make Bitcoin do what we want it to do to benefit us, not someone's else original plan (if this was the case).
