3001  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people are still buying BTC? on: June 05, 2018, 03:27:52 AM
I believe that profit is just an excuse to take part in this market. and I think people who still buy BTC think, for reasons known only to them, that they will make a substantial profit from investing in bitcoin

A lot of people are saying that Bitcoin will give them a good profit in the future, that Bitcoin will help themselves become rich, that Bitcoin will be the future of their lives but I don't think so. Bitcoin is a decentralized and a very volatile crypto currency, we do not know what will happen to the future, nor it's price movement so instead of going all in on Bitcoin, try to invest your money on other things that will ensure your profit.
3002  Economy / Economics / Re: why the state does not print a lot of money? on: June 05, 2018, 01:02:48 AM
well, basically one country cannot print easily a lot of money since it needs a gold deposit...if one's will be easy to produce then why not we all eventually become rich and no one will suffer from poverty....

I don't think that that will be the result or consequence of printing a lot of money. The money is also dependent on the government controlling the money, of you know the law of demand and supply, you can easily understand why they don't do that. Supply and Demand is inversely proportional to each other, that means if the supply increase, the demand decreases.

So if you print a lot of money, the case will be obvious, the supply will pump hard but the catch? The price or value of that country's currency will go down. And that will not the only catch, that will also affect a lot of people and more importantly the economy of that certain country. Though it has some benefits though, take Japan for example.
3003  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Bitcoin still a slave of Fiat? on: June 04, 2018, 11:17:17 PM
I don't think that this is an actual information. As for me, I don't consider bitcoin a slave of Fiat because it is not like this. the situation is completely different now. btc is really powerful and it will become even more powerful later

Bitcoin is the most powerful digital currency of all time, we can see that on the movement of it's price since it can affect a lot of digital currency when that happens. Comparing to fiat, Bitcoin is just a small currency though it is not for people it it an asset. Bitcoin is not a slave of fiat, it is just that fiat is the daily currency that we use and it is essential that we make the value of it the currency that is used always at trading.
3004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: June 04, 2018, 02:48:14 PM
Like one day max Cheesy im so addicted i need help  Grin
If you can't stay without gambling for a while then you need psychiatrist help to get away with it,if you continue to gamble with this addiction thwn your life may end fatal because all your money can be lost in a moment while playing continuous gambling.

If you are really desperate to quit gambling, all you need is your family that will support you from stopping your addiction. If you really love your family, especially when you have children to think of and you love them so much, I don't think that quitting gambling is that hard. All you need to do is courage to quit gambling, you need someone to push you off your addiction.
3005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 04, 2018, 01:21:09 PM
Basketball is a team sport. Don't exaggerate the role of famous stars. If Kevin durant and lebron James as much of the ball and playing time, KD can 40 + per game, or even a scored 60 + it is not surprising, but the team is likely to lose, more importantly, other players will be serious.

KD is not much off of a scorer, you know that KD is not really being used on offensive since he is just being used on plays like posts and some threes though we all know he is not the player that really throw threes, it just the past games he is making some threes and been throwing threes since then. Their main offensive players are really Stephen and Klay.
3006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 04, 2018, 11:56:52 AM
Ok so Game 2 ended with another win from Golden State Warriors at 122 and Cavs at 103. No need for an over time today. On Game 3 I am guessing that Cavs will be again the one with the lower odds because of the winning streak of GSW but I think playing in the home court of Cavs will give them (Cavs) a better advantage. Why do I have a feeling that a repeat of GSW blowing a 3-1 lead again that happened in the 2016 finals?
GSW won again in Game 2. They dominated the whole game and didn't give the Cavs the chance to lead by many points. Curry made a record too for most 3 pt made in Finals history with 9.

Now Game 3 will be at QLA. The Cavs are in the same situation as they are in the ECF against the Celtics. This is a must win game for the Cavs because if they lose here, there is a huge chance that it is over and GSW will win in 5 games. The Cavs will be more dominate because its their home court but lets see on Wednesday how they will play against this Warriors team. Solid Warriors Smiley.

I am reading memes before the western and eastern finals and I never thought one of them is true. There is a meme where Lebron is thanking that their team is not on the Western Conference, seeing their past games they are great but when they actually face the Western champions they are having a hard time.

Speaking of Lebron, his play this game is different than the games he did in the western finals and in Game 1. Lebron has more assists than the his lasts games, it is like he is making his team active in every play. I think they have a chance of winning Game 3 looking at the plays and scores his teammates are having. Also, David West and Javale McGee are now being used and being effective on the court, there are a lot of "active" players GSW has the reason Cavaliers is having difficulties. I agree that if Cavaliers did not win the next game, I don't think we will be seeing a Game 7 nor a Game 6.
3007  Economy / Economics / Re: Beside Cryptocurrenices where would you invest? on: June 04, 2018, 11:43:28 AM
At the moment I do not have the funds to invest, but when the opportunity arises, I will invest in real estate! Can be own hotel business...  Grin

I am using the opportunity of having some savings so I can use it to some investments in the future. One of the things I want to invest in is the real estate where in experienced investors really suggest it to people who want to invest on something. Another one is metals including Gold, don't know how to invest on that and I am still far from investing on those.
3008  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason we pay taxes and why we should on: June 04, 2018, 10:55:17 AM
Government has always planned that someday bitcoin has gave taxes in every transaction.

We can't do a thing about it. Bitcoin will be a big thing in the future and in order for countries to take a advantage there, they must do something like having a tax on it. People are expecting to make Bitcoin a currency and I think that will be obvious since if people really want to make Bitcoin a currency, expect the government adding a tax on it. They can't just let Bitcoin circulate on the country freely.
3009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does bitcoin need to improve? on: June 04, 2018, 09:41:19 AM
I can clearly see that there are other cryptocurrencies that are beginning to dethrone bitcoin, showing off there quick and secured transactions, though bitcoin continues to be the king. What does bitcoin need to improve state your opinions.

I don't think there is  need for Bitcoin to improve. It is acceptable as what it is now. It increases and decreases. Though its value varies it is really helpful.

It still has a lot of things to improve including it's fees and it's transaction speed. In the near future, there will be a computer that is able to hack the blockchain and that means it is also needed to be developed.
3010  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin failed as a currency on: June 04, 2018, 07:28:15 AM
maybe bitcoin can not be money only in some countries only. but in certain countries bitcoin can already be used like paper currency.  i believe that one day bitcoin users will beat all payment systems like paypal...

That will be a long time. Paypal is usually used than Bitcoin transactions since it is really faster than Bitcoin, I guess the fees are also efficient in that. Bitcoin will never be a good currency since it is decentralized and volatile. Who would want to use a currency that changes it's price every single second? A lot of platforms used Bitcoin but in time, they halted it because of the fees.s
3011  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to get Cryptocurrency Job?? on: June 04, 2018, 07:00:30 AM
The easiest way to get a job in crypto industry is doing bounty.

Are you kidding me? There are a lot of other jobs in the crypto industry and you will just sit down on doing Bounty campaigns? If you are knowledgeable enough, why not start your own crpyto currency? You can be a developer of your own digital currency, if you can't develop your own, you can just create a marketing strategy in an ICO project. There is a lot of other jobs, don't stick to what you are seeing here.
3012  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will ever there be World Peace? on: June 04, 2018, 06:09:16 AM
Perhaps, in a virtual world where no material matter will cause greed and corruption. Smiley

Makes sense, though greed will never be ceased wherever in the world even if that is virtual world. It is first seen in TV series, in movies and you can see there are still some problems about it, it is even made a way of destruction in anime where people are trapped and experimented. World peace is a great word, but I don't think that it will happen these days.
3013  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's wrong with Bitcoin now? on: June 03, 2018, 10:25:19 AM
Yes, this is all still a game of the whales in cryptocurrency

We don't know that since the price is moving the same as it is in the past, the only difference is that the price at that time is lower than it is now. There is nothing wrong with Bitcoin, if you will be asking me, it is still the way it is. Bitcoin and a lot of other digital currencies are volatile since it is decentralized, no one controls it and that means the price is dependent on the way the market moves.
3014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 03, 2018, 09:46:16 AM
The other members of the Cleveland Cavaliers must play! LeBlanc James has scored 50 points. What else can you ask him to do? Those role players need to play in the open three-point Cleveland Cavaliers to win!
Refuel the Cleveland Cavaliers, refueling LeBlanc James!
They are playing as usual but the problem is they are not contributing too much in offense and they are poor in defense too. The Cavs are one of the worst team in defense. They must improve especially the offensive and defensive things in order to win in this series. Love contributed too but not that much and the other players didn't.

I can't forget how JR Smith dribble the ball on the half court and saying "I thought we are ahead" after the buzzer sounds. Cheesy

I saw an interview about that play and I didn't hear that he said that he knew they we're ahead but he said that he saw Lebron making signs on the ref so he said he is just making some space not knowing that the time is still continuing. As Lebron said, they must move one. A play is a play and a mistake is a mistake, we can't stop making mistakes and as Durant said, every player make their dumb plays in the court, it is not only JR smith.
3015  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC transaction fees is going down. on: June 03, 2018, 04:51:19 AM
It's a good sign.. Less transaction fees means more BTC trades. Good for the future of btc. It will increase the buyers and the value of btc will rise.. Smiley

We are not looking at more buyers here but more trades and transactions. In the last years, users are been thinking that fees are very high for some transactions and that is a bit of a bad thing to Bitcoin since it is introduced with a small fee. With a lower fee, there will be more transactions and with more transactions that also means higher demand.
3016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to store Bitcoin safely ? on: June 03, 2018, 02:02:59 AM
I the best wau to store your Bitcoin is through ledger wallet, it is recommended than other online wallets; I also do research about it and I could say that it is safer among the rest.

No hardware are safe on the internet especially when you are not taking care of it, that is proven by a lot of people now and I think even if you have a good Ledger wallet, if you will not be taking care of it, it does not matter.

Taking care of our wallets is our responsibility but taking care of it is hard especially if people know you have a lot. There are a lot of ways to secure your wallet, you just need to search them online but you still need to be careful.
3017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will get legitimacy in all countries? on: June 03, 2018, 12:26:36 AM
No. I suppose the end of this whole transaction is that some countries wont accept it as a legal tender in thier countries but will allow it to run as other means of running the country as a way of globalisation. It will not but it will be accepted for transactions.

A lot of countries banned Bitcoin and since then, I don't think that all of the countries will be able to legalize Bitcoin in their countries. I think if some miracle happened, and Bitcoin was developed in the future, I guess it may happen.

Bitcoin is an asset to people these days that is the reason that it will not happen. Bitcoin is volatile and decentralized that makes it a bit of a knockback to the government but still there are countries that embrace the technology since it can bring a lot of efficiencies on transactions especially online. Using a mobile phone just to pay for something is really efficient.
3018  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will crypto replace fiat money? on: June 02, 2018, 02:59:30 PM
I think it could happen. this is just a matter of time and the right moment, the current trend is already heading that way.

Cryptocurrency is a great in the future since it will be a great in terms of our transactions. Crypto might replace Fiat but we are talking about a future in the future here since the future is still rotating on fiats and cards. Digital currencies are still being developed and it is still not ready to take that kind of big upgrade being a fiat.
3019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: June 02, 2018, 06:57:56 AM
Even with that list of negative impacts of gambling i doubt if a gambler will stop gambling if he still has money to gamble. He would only stop until he is broke and that's the consequences of it.

Not all of gamblers will do that, they are not all dumb. There are a lot of gamblers that really works hard but they still gamble, there are some gamblers that say they just feed their thirst by working hard, it is ironic, working hard just to gamble but we all know that there will be a limit there and they know it, they can't just stop it.
3020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 02, 2018, 01:31:20 AM
There's a big chance that they should have won the game 1 only if JR Smith just take the shot.
So true! they are tied and he's close to the ring even if he missed there's a potential call for that shot.
That's a lot of space he created before the 3pt line from the defender.
Yup, he wasted a lot of time. Have you watched when Lebron is quite shocked and teaching him to take a shot already cos' they are running out of time.
That is a mental lapse for JR Smith and for sure the ghost of it will haunt him in the succeeding game. Anyway, scenarios like that always happen in basketball no matter if you are a pro or not. That's only chance that is given to them by the Warriors to win at least a game because in the next game Andrei Iguadala will be ready to suit up for the Warriors.

Yeah, this is one of the most unacceptable mental lapses that have seen so for in an NBA finals. And Lebron was really frustrated on  JR and its very obvious during the interview I haven't seen him pissed like that before. They had a lot of opportunity and steal the game from GSW homecourt but it wasn't mean to be.

Well, that's part of the game, It's really frustrating to see that choke play made by JR but nonetheless LBJ even though he is tired and frustrated he still has JR's back. There were a lot of lapses to both teams but it's clear that the GSW took most of the advantage out of it. In addition, Tristan Thompson's suspension for a game would literally hurt the Cavs. Let's see how will Lebron and the Cavs play in Game 2, I'm sure that Golden State will play differently and much more aggressive than game 1.

Lebron is really tired and is really frustrated, he got 51 points and I think he really did great. I do not know what happened in the last seconds though, when JR smith get the ball at the last seconds. Lebron is giving the ref the sign for time out but the ref did not call it. This game shows the coordination of GSW and how Lebron will carry the team but I think Lebron will hit his limit in some time, he is just the best player I've ever watched.
