281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you waste your time for 5 cents worth of bitcoin? on: November 21, 2019, 06:00:28 AM
I am doing market research for a potential project.
If there was a website you could go to daily where you would earn anywhere from 1 cent - 10 cents worth of bitcoin just for clicking a button, would you do it?
No strings attached, no deposit required. You go to the website, push a button and 5 cents is deposited into your wallet. Would you go every day and do it, or is it not worth your time?

If there are no strings attached just as you have said, I think it will be worth my time as long as I am not required to enter in sensitive details that can lead to bridge in my funds security. For Bitcoin, its always worth my time and energy as long as it is legit. I will  visit that website and get my cool 5 cents daily

I'm not about the time, it's the patience that you'll need to be able to excert just to earn a few cents. You'll need hundred clicks to earn 1 dollar. Depending on your Internet connection, it can take you more than 5 minutes to accomplish that. It may work for other people but I think majority of us won't last long with that kind of task. I know I won't. There are a lot more way to earn btc that'll be worth your while.
282  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Millennials Increasingly Prefer Bitcoin to Gold or Real Estate on: November 21, 2019, 05:06:10 AM
It's hype. I doubt if all those who said they prefer Bitcoin actually understands how the market works. Digital money sounds very modern and that's what attracts younger generations. Though I wouldn't compare it's use at the moment to that of gold, especially with real estates. There's certainty if you're able to hold the product in your hands and see it with your eyes.
283  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can you buy with bitcoin? Apparently, some weird shit. on: November 21, 2019, 04:03:58 AM
So I saw this topic by Kprawn just a minute ago, with the question "What is the weirdest thing you have seen for sale for Bitcoin? ". I was going to answer there, but since I really want people to know this(just because), I decided to create my own topic about it instead.

Sorry in advance to Kprawn for stealing your topic

So, what can you buy with bitcoin in 2019?

Oh boy some of you people probably haven't heard of this yet.

...

...

Bath water.




Yep. You guessed it right. Water from a bath tub whereas some female Twitch streamer took a hot bath in.

And also, it went out of stock one time.. so apparently people are actually buying them..



Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/justneckbeardthings/comments/c960p6/belle_delphine_bath_water_is_sold_out_what_in_the/

So, what do people do with the water? You ask.

Maybe people take a bath in them?

...

Apparently, based on some Reddit replies I've read(that I 100% hope that people are just trolling), some people drink them. Let that sink in.

But wait! There's more..

It doesn't end with bath water.

So I took my detective hat on and investigated what this Twitch streamer is selling besides bath water.

Well..



No one probably is going to buy that $9,999 jar of pee (I freakin hope), but yea. I lost a bit of faith in humanity when I saw this. Probably fake, idk, but don't underestimate the weirdness of men living in their mom's basement.

At least now, if some normie no-coiner says "you can't buy anything with bitcoin!" à la Peter Schiff, you now have the perfect answer.

You're welcome.

And don't freakin ask me to link the website. Have some dignity.


Lol. Who even takes these water from tubs? And where? The buyers aren't even sure they get what they paid for haha. It could be from some random hairy guy's shower. You'll see a lot of weird shit especially in the black market. Weirdest I've seen was on social media. A very ugly love doll that's on sale for .2 BTC. Who would spend on that lol
284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will You Circumvent KYC if You Can? on: November 20, 2019, 11:03:33 AM
I probably would but only at certain situations. Not all wallets require kyc so peer to peer transactions would still remain anomymous. Also, paper wallets and hard wallets, which i think is a lot safer, doesn't require kyc. For exchanges, i think there's nothing we can do but abide. I'm not dealing with huge  amounts of coins anyway so i'm a bit indifferent when it comes to kyc in exchanges.
285  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BItcoin: The path to $10,000,000 ten million dollars per coin on: November 20, 2019, 09:24:25 AM
Here we go again with the out of this world presumptions for btc. We'd like to believe that, but it's not going to happen. It's the same with the other thread that's asking what could lead to btc dropping to 5 dollars. These extremes unlikely to happen now or in the future. And i think most people who've been here for quite a time, are already aware that this is more than too good to expect.
286  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Pay for Odd Jobs With Bitcoin? on: November 20, 2019, 04:25:47 AM
Well the dude worked for it. And in part, I should be to blame for not having any cash to pay him with. I think it's just right to pay him with whatever means available for his services. If he has a BTC wallet, then of course I'd send the amount in BTC right away if he prefers to. I don't see anything wrong with that both on my end and his end.
287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Preparing for a recession... Gold or Bitcoin? on: November 20, 2019, 03:04:53 AM
Well if the recession would be in the next few years, then I'd go with gold. I just guess that at this point, it's a better choice. Bitcoin may follow the trend of fiat if a recession happens soon and there's not enough support for BTC to draw people to convert when things are falling apart. Majority would still prefer to put their money in something tangible and something they can hold in their hand. I can't blame them since I'd probably have the same mindset.
288  Other / Politics & Society / Re: a society question about vegans on: November 19, 2019, 02:41:24 PM
Overpopulation of cows etc would be a problem if the whole world turned vegan overnight. We'd have to work out how to solve the problem we'd created by breeding so many of them.
However whilst veganism is increasing, it is increasing slowly. Lower demand for meat can be managed through controlled breeding (of livestock, not of vegans. Actually, controlled breeding of vegans would probably also help to keep the vegan numbers down. Win win).

but vegans dont want a natural free choice to just not eat meat and let farming de-popularise out of less demand. they want to change laws and give animals human rights. such as recent news of laws giving animals 'sentience' "they have thoughts and feelings too" thus trying to make slaughtering and cattle farming illegal overnight

again vegetarians for decades had the mindset of just stop eating meat and demand would fall. but vegans are going full throttle into changing laws and wanting overnight change.

I don't think every vegetarian wants that though. Most vegans i know became like that through personal choice. They wanted to avoid meat though  they won't force other people to share their sentiments. Some of the are aware that we need the nutrition that comes from meat. They just choose to find alternatives and they apply it only to themselves.
289  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All of you Bitcoin Hodlers are mentally ill - *Must Read! on: November 19, 2019, 01:41:43 PM
This entire bitcoin space breeds greed, envy, fear, and lust. All you of hodling bitcoin are mentally ill. You have been conned into thinking bitcoin is going to the moon. It's not. Charts show bitcoin is slowly bleeding to death. Bitcoin is no different than Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme where new bag holders are needed to pay off the earlier investors.

Mass adoption of bitcoin will never occur. Sorry! The price is far too unstable to be used as a form of payment. Businesses would get crushed if they took bitcoin as a payment due to the wild price fluctuations. Then you have to worry about the IRS on your ass to pay taxes. Is hodling worth the stress? Absolutely not. That's why women laugh at bitcoin and think it's a scam. Notice the crypto space is all dudes?

Say what you will about the US dollar, but it's still backed by a democracy and the most powerful military in human history. Accepted everywhere. Bitcoin is backed by absolutely nothing. Gold is backed by 5000 years of history of holding value, and is recognized worldwide. Women love gold. It's beautiful and tangible. A real asset worth owning.

I'm sorry, but you HODL'ers are mentally ill and are going to get crushed when bitcoin collapses in the coming recession. Bitcoin is going to get dumped fast as people need money to pay bills and survive. If you bought bitcoin early and already cashed out with gains, you are a wise investor and have my respect. If you're still hodling, your finances and reputation are on the line here. A reputation with your friends and family you can never get back. Don't risk it. Dump your bitcoin now before it wipes you out!




Suit yourself dude. I've read a lot more realistic fuds in the past and this is basically your own opinion on things. It's valid of course but like those that have been trying to drag bitcoin and the crypto market down in the past, it doesn't matter. We're all entitled to how we want to see things but don't expect the lot of us to believe or agree with you. Personally, i feel indifferent towards your sentiments lol.
290  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you close your Bank account, when your Bank turn against Crypto? on: November 19, 2019, 11:49:32 AM
It doesn't have to be one or the othrr though. It's best that you have an open bank account since some legal matters like applying for a visa in certain countries require one. You can have a separate wallet for you crypto any time. There's no need to have just one. And no, i won't close my bank account if my bank doesn't support crypto. I'd simply keep a separate stash for both.
291  Economy / Economics / Re: World debt and currency reset on: November 18, 2019, 03:40:48 PM
A lot of countries have had their debt written off or debt cancelled by the World Bank, just like some companies write off people's debt when it

becomes clear that those people would not be able to pay back the debt. In some instances this come with some sort of asset transfer agreement,

but in most instances this happens with no requirements. Example : https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2005/jun/11/uk.g8  These countries will

then offer some tax incentives for these countries or Banks to operate in those affected countries. (Less import duties etc.) This is how 1st world

countries get there claws into poorer countries, because they get leverage to broker other deals that would favor them in the future.  Angry

Just goes to show how the world is run by bankers more than governments. It's impossible to reset  a country's debts since that's how the people in power take control. I'm just curious as to how ended up with this kind of system and where exactly is the point where this started. Like how did the countries start accumulating debts in the first place.
292  Other / Politics & Society / Re: [POLL] WILL TRUMP BE ELECTED TO A SECOND TERM? on: November 18, 2019, 11:54:18 AM
I think trump won back then was only because his strongest opponent is Hillary. And a lot of americabs seem to have gotten tired of the conventional politician and Trump exudes an aura that hasn't been tested yet. I don't know about a reelection since there have been a lot of controversial decisions and statements during his term. Pretty sure though that a lot of those who voted for him them would still vote for him now.
293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: November 18, 2019, 07:13:04 AM
Why Kawhi doesn't play again during the match with Atlanta Hawk? I know his injured and still has sore on his knee but based on report it was only a minor one. Good thing is Paul George made an outstanding record of 37 points on his first 20 minutes and got helped by bench players Williams and Robinson combining 46 points.

Anyway their next game is OKC and hoping Leonard will play this time.



If something was sore for Leonard, then it would be best to just let it rest a while. It's just the start of the season and forcing something so small will aggravate and might get worst. Anyway, they are still in good spot to let him rest while he has a minor injury though.

Exactly. Why play one of your top guys and risk making his injury worse this early in the season? You have good players anyway since PG has returned and the hawks aren't really a team you'd risk your top player on. Bottom line is, you don't play a franchise player if he's not 100 percent, regardless of how minor his injury is.
294  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Overpopulation of a developing country is one of its major problem on: November 18, 2019, 04:22:02 AM
Well i think it's a major problem in general. Not just in developing countries. It's a about resources and basic services being available to every citizen. Then you put in the problem of greedy old politicians and bankers who can't seem to have enough of money and power at the expense of the majority of the population. This is prevalent in third world countries where the government supply for basic necessities can't reach every part of it's population.
295  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Depression and exercise on: November 17, 2019, 02:26:08 PM
Any physical activity would likely help. Especially group activities like basketball, where in the person can get to interact with a lot of people. The person needs more of what can take their mind away from what's causing their depression. I've known quite a lot of people who recovered pretty well after climbing mountains when they feeling deressed. What these people need are basically someone they can talk to and there's an abundance of that in group exercises.
296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are underutilizing Bitcoin on: November 17, 2019, 12:12:35 PM
There are certain factors that is necessary for this situation to work what you are talking about , not every country is Bitcoins friendly , not everywhere the government is so flexible , not everywhere it is legal to even keep them .
What else could you do. ?
In any country there are very limited things that you can do using the Bitcoins and keeping them is the only option left with them.

The thing is, even for those bitcoin friendly countries, people would still refer to either just keep it in wallets or trade with it. Let's face it, we're not yet at that point where bitcoin is seen in the same page as fiat when it comes to real world transactions. Probably for some of us here in the crypto community, it is. But for majority, there still are doubts as to whether it can be used for real transaction. More education and familiarity is needed for that to happen.
297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction on: November 17, 2019, 05:53:31 AM
I can probably say that the worse it cigar addiction because if you have been addicted to the cigarettes then it would be so hard for you to stop it simply because your body will always find the nicotine of the cigarette that it's been taking for a long time, while addiction in gambling can brought you into many bad activities especially if you don't have money or funds that may support your gambling vices and it would be hard also to stops.
But if gambling addiction has been a practice to you then it would be the same as cigar addiction which you can't barely handle? but we have the same answer about cigar addiction is much extreme than the gambling addiction. But it would depend up to the situation if the result has been changing. We've seen stories here that were shared that they came up to the extent of doing unusual things because of gambling addiction.
Cigar addiction will only affect yourself particularly your health, but in gambling addiction it can do much worst depending on how addicted you are. Some gamblers (especially those who seem out of their mind already) are committing crimes because of desperation to get back their losses. So it depends on the extent of addiction, we know being addicted to any deed is bad for us.

Gambling addictions can be reversed by therapy and with the help of the people around the gambler. Once they've moved on from it, there's still a second chance. The effects of cigarette addiction on your body most of the time is irreversible. Even if you decide to eventually quit smoking, you can't remove the effects of it in your body, like cancer. Just by that, addiction to the former is of course more fatal.
298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRX / BTC Long term hold plan on: November 17, 2019, 04:47:29 AM
I'm not sure a lot of people will agree with you on that dude. Though personally I share your view. It's just that TRX has a history of blunders in the past, mainly due to probably mishandling of promotion by it's team. Especially it's founder. I think it's good that they're not making much noise right now. I've accumulated as much as I can already for tron and hopefully, you're right about next year.
299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: PAC (Pacquiao) Token Starts Trading from Nov 12. Will You Buy It? If Yes, Why? on: November 16, 2019, 11:39:21 PM
Just like the Dogecoin, I'll just trade it (buy low, sell high) if the trading volume is real and high enough, but I wouldn't consider this token for a long term hold because it's just riding on hype.
It is too hype up because of the name and the person who's behind it is a famous boxing champion. But it is just like that i don't know what's the use of it since it is just another altcoin that's finding its way to shine. It may be a promising just like how it is being hyped but after that it is just nothing and it will eventually follow to the rest of altcoin.
Indeed it would just follow on most altcoins if its not being adopted nor being supported by many.This would really be just good when its hyped but overall use?

Not different on thousands of coins in the market.As said by others above this would be just good for short term profitability but not really good for long term because it will
just frustrate nor break your expectations.

Well the fact that it's sounds like a parody coin should already give you a hint to not expect much. But coins that have a lot of hype behind them do have the tendency to stay long in the market and even experience significant price pumps. I guess those that bought this coin are just waiting for that to earn quick money. I just don't see this being  anywhere near the top coins in the market.
300  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Could Make Bitcoin Drop To $5? on: November 16, 2019, 12:31:59 PM
I was just wondering if it is possible. What event or series of events could crash the price of Bitcoin to $5? What will you do if that happens?
It is only when the government of the world jointly declares war on bitcoin that I can assume that such thing will happen which I absolutely doubt.

Bitcoin has been of immense help to a lot of countries which I don’t see any reason to why they should dump it now, so that will make it impossible for them to have a joint agreement about it, and if there is any other factor that I am not thinking of makes that to happen, I think what I will do when I see such thing is to first of all take the risk of buying as much as I can buy hoping that the story will change later In the future so that when it eventually goes back to the usual price before after the fud must have been over, I can get that opportunity of being a billionaire through it back like people of 2010 lol.

Well even if it gets banned by governments all over the world, there are still black markets that can keep btc price well above water. I doubt that at this point and beyond, bitcoin can go even three digits. With popularity, usage and technology, chances are it's going to move on an upward trajectory. 5 dollars is pretty impossible regardless of the worst thing that can happen.
