1) the apple method thingy is not available in all countries but you can pay with bitcoin anywhere in the world with no restriction whatsoever.

2) apple watch is ~$350+ but you can buy a smart phone (for bitcoin payment) with half that price maybe even a lot less

3) payment with bitcoin will also take 3 seconds or less. and you don't have to wait for confirmation.

4) the only thing that seems to be good about apple pay is the no fee policy (which i am only quoting from my search not personal experience!)

i do my trades as long term buy and sells meaning i go to my exchanger and open some orders to buy at a price that i have decided is good for me to buy at and then set a price in mind to sell and i either open sell orders before or at the time price reaches that point.
so i don't really feel the need for bots.

but i have been looking around for a good bot preferably free and open source or at least cheap but good. sadly i have not found one yet.

this is what you get when you make a poorly coded altcoin and hype it up. i read somewhere that Ethereum is starting to look like swiss cheese! now i am starting to understand what it really meant!

i wonder what the new old fork is going to be called this time. maybe Ethereum Legacy

there are 3 different things happening that you should know the difference about before saying it will or will not happen:

1) banks creating their own blockchain using bitcoin (blockchain) technology.

2) banks adapting their systems with bitcoin and use bitcoin instead of fiat or instead keep the people's wallets safe and encrypted in their vault.

3) banks start accepting bitcoin just like fiat and as others have mentioned something like what coinbase is doing.

i believe all of the above can happen and each of them will be a different service giving the banks a different type of revenue because they receive money for the service they offer.

one of the issues that i have is not about profit nor earning but about where to spend the coins! so far i have only spent bitcoin on small stuff online like games and such but as a daily use, i never had the chance to do it.

these periods of all red on the market happen all the time. if you follow the market for long term you see this especially when you open coinmarketcap.com

and in my opinion most of these reds are because of the pumps. what we see right now is the phase after the pump. take XMR for example it was pumped to 0.018+ and now it is slowly coming back down as everybody is cashing out.

bitcoin is obviously the only thing that has the highest chance of survival and with a big difference than the second top.

i am not a litecoin supporter but i don't think it is doomed at all. only because it has been surviving all these years and the survival was not like other altcoins from prices like 0.01 to 0.0000001 it has actually been pretty stable around 0.0055-0.008BTC for most of its lifetime.

lending is a super risky job and if you want to do it right (meaning accepting valid collaterals, checking the history of the person who asks for the loan and ...) it takes a very long time. and besides the market is filled with other people lending so i don't really think there is any room for anybody new to come in and start lending.

in my experience if we hype it enough then it will certainly have big effect on bitcoin price no matter who wins. most of the times this has been working out well for bitcoin, everytime there is a major event like Greece economy going down the tube, Brexit,... there is a hype and for no reason price goes up!


i was just watching Graham Norton show

what else did you expect?

any topic about satoshi is an subject that has been talked about numerous times and apart from that, subjects like this containing "what if" followed by a super hypothetical question are begging this kind of reply too.

i say this is the best reply so far

the best answer that i can come up with based on my little experience in the field is:
trading Forex without technical analysis is like driving a car with a flat tire!
it is possible but you will be slow and controlling the movement is hard.

the same thing is true about trading Forex or even trading in general. if you don't know anything about technical analysis you can still make some trades based on your "feeling of the market" but that is far from success.

if you read the previous comments and if you also pay a visit to the developer's site you can see that this is only optional to pay the sites for supporting them not for removal of ads. the removal is another story.

the adblock is actually present in this browser and it is supposed to be so much stronger than any other ad-ons currently available for Firefox and Chrome.

thanks for the update.

since it is past the payment day and i want to join another campaign i have archived my account so you can see up until this comment i was wearing the signature: https://archive.fo/NZnHv

thank you. i will be leaving now.

please consider my application also:

since i am not yet paid for my current signature i am keeping it but if i get accepted i will change it fast.

this week has been delayed quite a bit.

can we please get an update from either the manager or owner?

if you do that i am sure you will miss your eyes when they stop working after a week of staring at a monitor!

you have to start learning how to take up positions and leave some open orders instead and take the profit that satisfies you and be satisfied with it even if the price went up a lot more.

Valar Morgules, All coins must die!

but seriously, almost all of the altcoins that you see in this market like i can even say 95% of them are only pump and dump coins which are going to die slowly. the bigger ones like ether will take a longer time and smaller ones like vox take a short time to die but they all die eventually because they serve their purpose.

only litecoin from your list is an stable altcoin with a good return to invest in and nothing else. the rest are not such good investments doge is bad and dying, an ethereum is in a big bubble right now and it is about to burst and go down so it is super risky.

besides you can check the charts yourself in a year to see which one is more stable and which is more volatile in short term.

in some games you only need luck to win and nothing else in the world can help you to change this fact .

but also at the same time in some other games you need luck plus some skills to win . for example there is no way in hell you can win in sports betting consistently without having any skills in the game yourself.

if a parent is a degenerate gambling addict their kids will never go for gambling ever. because simply as it was said it would be their role model and they can see how bad and destructive gambling addiction can really be.
