2981  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin become centralized sometime in the future? on: June 11, 2018, 10:39:59 AM
I share the same thought,at some point, Bitcoin will grow so much that it will be almost impossible to ignore its influence, at this point, the governments might reach a truce and decide centralize the coi and make it illegal so that it can operate legally. This way, the governments get something off it through taxation, and the Bitcoin users will be protected from extreme dips. It shall all come down to a consensus between the regulating bodies and te Bitcoin users, if an agreement cant be reached then BTC will remain decentralized

you can already see in some countries like Germany, France, Japan etc that they're regulating bitcoin the way that they're not going to default and start banning it.

These countries might accept Bitcoin, legalized it even but I don't think that they will go to a point where they need to centralized Bitcoin or even other digital currencies since it is one of the most popular feature of Bitcoin and most of the crypto currencies. The reason it is legalized in order to protect the users of it on the country, I don't think that if they did not legalize it is illegal, it don't work like that.

I just read one article that's about math can help you win at roulette game then i want ask with you all, did you believe math can affect to gambling games? i'm not expert in math so i don't know


this is the article that i readed.
http://theconversation.com/can-maths-help-you-win-at-roulette-69440
I think the only formula that may help in gambling is probability for roulette games, but i still believe math cannot affect to gambling games even you used probability because probability is all predicting the chances. I believe it is all about luck, so if you wanted to win you need to have good luck.

Roulette Games? You can predict the probability of your gambling every time but you can't predict the results of your gambling activities, well, that is obvious right. No matter what gambling or betting game is it, you can solve for your bet's probability to win, some of them may be of 1% or more but it is usually less but as I've said, no one can predict or solve for the result.
2983  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and retirement - how do you see your future? on: June 11, 2018, 02:58:44 AM
it seems that if you want to get a pension fund from bitcoin it will not be able to because bitcoin can only give advantage when you are still trading, when you are not trading then bitcoin will not be able to give advantage for you.

And I think, for me, that is the good thing about Bitcoin. When I will be retiring to my job, I want to still working even if I am just in my house. If I get old, I don't want to be a burden to my family and my children. I will continue to trade my Bitcoin and my other crypto currencies since in that time I don't really have a thing to do except from a lot of maintenance and time for my family and myself.
2984  Economy / Economics / Re: Is small business ready to sell for cryptocurrency? on: June 11, 2018, 01:58:10 AM
Do we really need to talk about selling crypto currencies with small businesses? Selling or Trading crypto currencies requires a large capital, it is not that if you have a good amount of crypto currency, doesn't mean that you can you still need a lot of investors to help you.

Also, I think it is not sell but to accept. Small Businesses don't really want to sell or maybe accept crypto currency the reason that if they will be accepting it, it might be a start.
2985  Economy / Economics / Re: When will people feel comfortable using BTC ? on: June 10, 2018, 02:06:03 PM
Personally, i will definitely feel comfortable using cryptos if they are legalized, every individual accepts and uses these and price are stable in a just amount.

Even Bitcoin is legalize in a certain country, I don't think it will be that comfortable if people don't really want to use it since there are a lot of FUDs and scams that is being  blamed on Bitcoin. In our country, there are a lot of networking and investments scams and they are pointing out on Bitcoin the reason they are being scammed and they are now saying that Bitcoin is a scam even though it is not.
2986  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Fiat - this is how I see the future on: June 10, 2018, 12:40:11 PM
At a time where I see currencies moving away from cash to digital I think the reason is partly so that governments can control the flow of their currency more particularly for laundering. They can possibly gain more taxation from a cashless currency because cash cannot be fully traced. If i sell my car for cash to another individual the government dont get any revenue from that because it is not traceable.

So in a governments aim to control our money it will leave a big opening for bitcoin and other decentralised crypto to exist along with fiat and will allow people to "trade" anonymously with each other over a completely independent infrastructure.

I see the future of digital money as an option to everyone, yoy eitherbuse digital money of fiat money, because not all people wants to use digital money because of accessibility.

Well we are talking about the future here so I don't think that these accessibility will not be a problem though unless a certain country did not lift their ban on Bitcoin and digital currencies. I think in the future Bitcoin is more easier and more efficient to use, and I think in that time all of the Bitcoins are mined and being circulated on the internet.
2987  Economy / Economics / Re: Beside Cryptocurrenices where would you invest? on: June 10, 2018, 10:13:04 AM
there is no other investment for me other than in bitcoin, I am very sure of bitcoin, because bitcoin gives a real change. and here gives a lot of profit opportunities.

How can you say that? There is a lot of other things that you can invest, that you can put your money into. Maybe you are saying this since Bitcoin is giving you good profits this last months of 2017 but Bitcoin is still risky than any other investments or assets. If you want to really earn a lot of money, you must not put your focus on one side.
2988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: IS IT THE BEST TIME FOR GAMBLING? on: June 10, 2018, 09:03:18 AM
For participating in a gamble, You don't need to focus on time. It only depends on your luck. so Time is Nothing but the favor of luck is 90% for this purpose. So it doesn't matter the time or not.
do you think time is not everything in gambling? is that your masud? I am very contrary to you, I will be more interested to learn the time, so we bosa know when we should go, and when we should stop
It's good if we can collaborate on some things in gambling/betting, in addition to remembering the time., we can manage the emotion and can mastered the game till can be smarter to set the bets, and finally easy to get more wins.

If someone asked me if is it the best time to gamble now, I would say it is not. There is no, definitely no best time to gamble. It is like that you are asking me when is the best time to lose my money. Well, you can lose your money every time you like so you can obviously gamble every time but always think on what you will get on your gambling activities since not all of the gamblers, most of them in fact don't really win on gambling.
2989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler's mindset! on: June 10, 2018, 07:57:55 AM
I have tried to think what goes through my mind when ever I am trying to place a bet. I think something strange do happen to me and that is I always have this thinking that what if I lose, how am I going to feel! I have never want to lose in my mind I want to win always but I think this is impossible. Gamblers here did you always want to win all your bet? If you win all how will the gambling company makes profits?
everyone who plays gambling is sure they always expect victory. when you play gambling and try to place a bet in the presence of a sense of doubt when doing so, you should not decide to place a large bet because the mood we have when playing will certainly be very influential on the game

Yes, gamblers want to win their gambling activities every time but not all of them are really focused on it since there are some rich or so wealthy people that just gamble to have some fun since losing some money to them is not a big deal to them.

You must really avoid betting big amounts since gambling is not something that can ensure you a good profit in the future, you will be losing a lot of money first before you won really.
2990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What currencies do you gamble with? on: June 10, 2018, 06:04:31 AM
I usually use Bitcoin since there are a lot of gambling sites on the internet where you can get them for free on the same site. It is a faucet at the same time a gambling site. It is like hitting two birds with one stone, you can gamble and you will not be able to use either your Bitcoins or your savings. There are also some sites that I use Ethereum but I regret it when the price pumped the last months.
2991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 10, 2018, 05:05:39 AM
One guy can't beat 4 All Starts and that's it.
Let's just talk now where he is going at. Since I don't see him staying in Cleveland. Not a chance.
Would be fun if he went to Houston so they can sweep golden next season lol

He will either stay or go. If Cleveland want Lebron to stay then they must find players that will help Lebron, may be an all star or not as long as it will help the team and more importantly Lebron as their team is more focused on a one individual play.

If Lebron finds a team, he will be having a hard time to find one. Houston Rockets would be a great option, bht there are also a lot of teams that may suit Lebron's plays. We will be seeing it this next season with another set of new players.
2992  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is Bitcoin largely used on deep web? on: June 09, 2018, 02:15:46 PM
It is used on the deep web but as far as I know, people with great knowledge can still track the transactions of Bitcoin users and these criminals on deep web the reason there are a lot of them caught and a lot of Bitcoins confiscated out of them.

Bitcoin may be used largely in the deep web but I don't think it matters since it can positively affect the price of Bitcoin that can bring the price up.
2993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How foolish are people who invest in Bitcoin? on: June 09, 2018, 11:34:16 AM
What are you doing here if you do not like the idea of crypto. We actually do not need everyone to invest in it. 

Everyone has their own point of view on every crypto currency they see or know. Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency on the internet these days the reason it is the most digital currency to be hated by the investors and also from some people either they don't really know it or they do. I don't care if a lot of people hate Bitcoin, I care on what will happen on my investments.
2994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 09, 2018, 10:04:57 AM
Congrats to GSW. Look at that Swaggy P got a championship. Also kudos to Mcgee everytime he enter the court he is doing good. No one can beat this team in best of 7 series as long as no one will leave. Lebron got swept twice now in Finals. If he want to stand a chance against this team, he should leave Cavs.

Yes, Lebron really can't win alone with this set of players. Its either he requested that the organization over haul the team and get someone who can really contribute or leave Cleveland again and go to other team. He can't really compete with GSW, to be fair, all teams are still below and as long as GSW stays together for the next 3-5 years, then its really hard to beat them.
There is no reason for Lebron to stay with the cavaliers, he did give one championship for this team and consistent in bringing it to the NBA finals.
For me, that is already a great achievement and he should justify himself being goal by looking for new teammates that could defeat the warriors.

If he will be staying on Cleveland Cavaliers, there is no way that they can stand against GSW or other teams since he don't have that much of good team mates that can stand with him. If Cavaliers wants Lebron to stay, they must find a way to find a good player. By the way, it is said that Draymond Green is disappointed that they did not sweep Cavs the last season and now that they did it, it is a proof that GSW is the best team this season. Just hope it continues the next season with fresh players.
2995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 09, 2018, 08:03:01 AM
Congrats to GSW. Look at that Swaggy P got a championship.

Congratulations to Golden State Warriors whom did a great job on these series. Also, Congratulations to Kevin Durant for his 2nd MVP award.

Also kudos to Mcgee everytime he enter the court he is doing good.

He is really great and made a comeback after not being used by Steve Kerr on the Western Conference Finals. He proves that he is not just a player that need to be benched. He is also making the defense on the inside very hard to be attacked.

No one can beat this team in best of 7 series as long as no one will leave.

I think there are some players that will be leaving GSW but I don't think Green, Curry, Durant, McGee, Igoudala and Thompson will leave the team as for West and Young, are predicted to go.

Lebron got swept twice now in Finals. If he want to stand a chance against this team, he should leave Cavs.

Yes, I can still remember that time when Cleveland Cavaliers where sweep by San Antonio Spurs in 2007. Lebron, as far as I know will be leaving Cleveland but will be having a hard time to find a team, some said if he will be staying at Cleveland, they will having a hard time finding some help from other good players out there.
2996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 08, 2018, 10:06:32 AM
Lets move on to Game 4 so whats at stake. If GSW wins Game 4 'a sweep but keep in mind, its still Cavs home court advantage and of course for GSW, if they want to win, they want it in their own court so they can truly celebrate. But what are the chances that Cavs will win the the 4th game. Here's a good read about teams who made a comeback after 3-0

https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/celtics/2018/05/09/how-many-nba-teams-have-forced-game-after-trailing/quZDd7n4XNbDvBr8HXZKhL/story.html

Here we go again, itching to bet on Cavs this coming Game 4  Grin
I think they will not swept the series because they cant feel the excitement if they will celebrate at the court of other team. They want to celebrate in their home so I think Game 4 will be given by the Warriors to the Cavs already and Game 5 will be for the Warriors.

From the start already, I know its a mismatch already. Do the comparison of the current rosters of both teams and you will see.

They really had a mismatch on different position except in small forward position where the comparison between Durant and James is not that far at some point. But like what you guess game 5 will be for the Cavs.

Not really game 5 but game 4. GSW might take it easy on game 4 since it is really no fun having it in a sweep series. That will be also a good profit for their homecourt with a lot of it's viewers and supporters who always watch live every of their games. Game 5 or game 6 might be the last game of this series and it will be GSW yaking again the championship defending their title last year. Also, in the next season GSW will be having another great player which is Anthony Davis. Don't know if that is official but that will be a great threat to other teams.
2997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 08, 2018, 04:24:06 AM
Odds are against Cavs. No team has ever bounce back from 0-3 deficit and win the championship. Maybe they can avoid a sweep but for all intent and purposes, Golden State will eventually get the trophy again and either Curry and Durant will get the MVP nod.

But I agree, much better to put your money on the Cavs. Its one hell of a long shot next game but who knows.

If Cavaliers ever get back from that 0-3, I will be calling NBA and it's referees rigged. Golden State Warriors won on Cavaliers home court in which they are expected to win but I think the performance of Kevin Durant is really fantastic. He got 43 points and he is unstoppable on the court while Stephen Curry only have 11 points while Klay have 10.

Also, I am glad that Andrei Igoudala is back. We can now congratulate GSW for another championship, though I think the series will not be done at Game 4.
2998  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Disable person on: June 05, 2018, 01:40:13 PM
Bitcoin is just a currency, it cannot help them.
Somehow if we'll look at a better picture, it depends on their disability. If they still have a good mindset, they have vision and hands to type or click the mouse and move its cursor.
It can help them, bitcoin today isn't just a currency. It's also a way to make money and treat it as an investment. When we say bitcoin, we are generalizing it as the whole market which they can do trading while just sitting at their homes.

You have a point there it depends upon the capabilities of the disabled person. F they can operate gadgets why not introduce bitcoin to them and educate them well so they know what to do.

And what will these disabilities do when they've been educated so well about bitcoin and what to do with it? Join Signature Campaigns? Invest on ICOs? Yes they can trade but that also means they will be investing on it. Yes, it is a great idea if they want to earn money but it still depends on that certain person with disability. It is already an investment, it is for a long time ago now.
2999  Economy / Economics / Re: A coin issued by some country government - would you go for it? on: June 05, 2018, 12:00:25 PM
Why not? Every digital currencies has their own advantages, and I think there are a reason why the government created such currency. If that currency has a advantage to me when I will be using it, I will gladly buy some. But I don't think that it will be used by the government to have another way of getting a source of money so I think if they will be issuing a crypto currency, it might be a currency with the value the same as their currency.

It would be great to have BTC assets for retirement. I believe Bitcoin's popularity and other cryptocurrencies will grow more and more every year. So let's see.

You just did state the obvious. Bitcoin became very popular every single year and the price too is getting higher and higher. I am retiring in the near future but I don't think that Bitcoin will be the reason of it since I have a better investment and profit than investing on digital currencies but I do invest on some of them especially the good ones.
