Absolutely, bitcoin provide income on life because of patience and determination. This really helps me in financial need for those uses bitcoin.
Bitcoin just like another currency out there where you need hard work to get them and be focus on whatever stuff you do involved with Bitcoin. Although, you have real job you can treat Bitcoin as your investment in the future.
Or you can just have your 'real job' pay you in Bitcoin, there are services that will pay you out in Bitcoin, even if you just have a regular job.
They do charge some fees for it, but overall, I'd say it's worth it if you're really into Bitcoin and have the option of paying your bills with it.

Check out Bitwage if you want to know more about this.

I actually used this feature pretty often, really bummed to see that it has been removed.
Might also be a good thing, I'm finally switching to a desktop wallet.

Even though I never held too many coins on a web-wallet, it's certainly going to be much safer to make the full switch to a desktop wallet.
3263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Monero? on: June 09, 2017, 06:15:20 PM
That will be bad idea, you should accept multiple altcoins because monero community is not quite strong right now so you may not get enough players. But along with bitcoin you can accept multiple other alts with inbuilt exchange features.
He probably only wants to offer Monero because of the anonymity aspect perhaps?

OP, I think it will definitely be difficult to attract enough players with Monero alone, I would at least add some other altcoins to the website.
Dash perhaps?

What if he attaches a mini exchange to the gambling website where whatever Altcoin or Bitcoin you have in your possession could be exchanged for monero before you place your bet ? I think that will work because unlike ShapeShift you wouldn't be charged for the conversion but the amount will be in monero equivalent as it was in your other Altcoin.
That could work indeed, but it's a whole different ballgame to also run an exchange aside with a casino and you'd need a way bigger investment for that.

I mean it's not impossible, Crypto-Games recently implemented an option to exchange Bitcoins and altcoins, but only after operating for a few years.
3264  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs altcoins, will they survive? on: June 09, 2017, 05:50:36 PM
It's hard as altcoins are surely on it's top right now , people used to pump dump btc now but now btc doesn't even matter and the btc dominance has also reduced from like 70% in starting of this year to what 48% or something. Even though we see the rise of altcoins many investors still trust because as dumping it would take a lot of time and plus there are way more people interested to invest in bitcoin than alts
I wouldn't say that Bitcoin doesn't matter anymore, if your numbers are correct, 48% Bitcoin dominance (48% of total market cap I assume), then it's still 48% versus 52% of marketcap of all other altcoins.

I'd still call Bitcoin dominant.

And there are still more people interested in investing in Bitcoin than altcoins, just look at mainstream news articles, 9 out of 10 talk about Bitcoin exclusively, maybe a few mention Ethereum.
3265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MUSICOIN vs. SOUNDCHAIN: which is better? on: June 09, 2017, 05:44:01 PM
I don't see either of those coins getting any significant following.
The mainstream music industry just won't let it happen and I'm not talking about some crazy conspiracy, just that they will never let artists that are signed with them support something like this.

It might be fairly successful among independent producers some time in the future, but it will always remain a niche.
3266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most promising 50 satoshi or below coins on: June 09, 2017, 05:18:17 PM
Like the title says, what are the most promising 50 satoshi or below coins? With reasons why.

Coin name - reason

You can try reddcoin. It is pos coin with strong fundamentals and real use case - tips on social media.
I've heard of Reddcoin, but does it actually have some use cases?
I've never seen that coin being used for what it's supposed to be used, in my opinion the prices are purely driven by speculation alone.

Kinda similar to changetip in what it offers, and that failed too.
3267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crime funded by bitcoin on: June 09, 2017, 05:13:35 PM
Bitcoin is always associated with crime, illegal, drugs, money laundering and many other negative things. It is true that some people use bitcoin for crime. But that's only a small part, only a person. Why only talk about bitcoin from the negative side, whereas many other benefits of using bitcoin, more potility of bitcoin that we can use rather than just see the negative side
I've found that now it's less so. I mean, Bitcoin is usually mentioned when another cryptolocker type malware pops up, but there isn't an actual negative connotation tied to Bitcoin usually.

Most articles about Bitcoin I see these days are usually just talking about the price and the technology behind it.
3268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How test a new gambling site? on: June 09, 2017, 05:08:45 PM
I would personally just avoid playing on new sites and only play on the ones that have been around for at least a year or more.
Even if it all seems legit at first, they could just take your money and scam you.

Established sites could also do that ofc, but it's just far less likely because they're making more money by not scamming in the long term.
3269  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Loosing massive amount bitcoin on purpose... on: June 09, 2017, 04:59:04 PM
30% is a bit over the top I think, let's just say that someone buy's like 5% and destroys it.
Could be a fun thought experiment.

Would you be able to prove that no-one has access to these coins?
I think it is possible, you can send your coins to a verifiably unspendable address.

3270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop Calling It A Bubble. on: June 09, 2017, 04:47:37 PM
A bubble is when everyone is talking about cryptos, e.g. your taxi driver, the bellboy, etc. Outside of my close circle of tech colleagues zero people are talking about Bitcoin.
A bubble is when something's cost differs from its intrinsic value - a bubble can happen on something which is shockingly insignificant.  Bitcoin's "intrinsic value" is extremely hard to define, so we could just call a bubble whenever the price rises extremely dramatically without much reason (such as now)

I don't think that it is really hard to do

It may be hard to estimate or assess, but this is a different task, anyway. Bitcoin intrinsic value comes from its transactional utility, i.e. its value as a currency and payment system, and this value Bitcoin would have if we removed it from speculation entirely. How much Bitcoin would cost in that case is unknown, but I don't think very much. Just in case, the value that Bitcoin has for being used a speculative vehicle is certainly not its intrinsic value. In this way, it could be safely claimed that Bitcoin is highly bubbled nowadays
Came here to basically say just this, completely agree with you.

I think that in theory, it would even be possible to get pretty exact data on how much intrinsic value Bitcoin actually has, by looking at all transactions and sifting out the ones that are tied to anything other than buying, selling or holding for pure speculative purposes.

In practice, it's pretty hard to do since it would be fairly hard to actually tie transactions to specific purposes, despite everything being recorded on the blockchain.

About Bitcoin being in a bubble these past weeks, I think that's pretty obvious, it's not like actual use of Bitcoin has suddenly skyrocketed, apart from Japan perhaps.
Certainly not in a way that warrants this sudden rise in price.
3271  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Simple portfolio tracker on: June 09, 2017, 01:45:50 PM
Wow, I've used some other investment trackers, but I've never found one that's so easy to manage as this one.
Really liking the simplicity of just adding your coins and the amounts, actually prefer that over a website scraping my exchange accounts for data.

Less hassle imo Smiley
3272  Economy / Economics / Re: New rich people thanks to BTC on: June 09, 2017, 01:39:31 PM
So lucky they made it because of bitcoin,
Wish I could also hold a huge amount of bitcoin or maybe got hold on some alt-coin and get a huge profit from it.
If you are wise and if you are ready to invest there are many promising projects in the alt coin section where you could really profit by investing in them,it is impossible to make money without taking any risk,be it bitcoin or any form of investment,so learn about all the up coming ICO, make a detailed study and make a decision.
Yeah but for every truly promising project, there are about a dozen others that will fail.
There are just too many scams going on with ICO's that it's kinda difficult to invest in some of the lesser known ones.

I still think it's worth it to look into it, but you need to be very careful about which one you invest in.
3273  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: i need wallet on: June 09, 2017, 01:34:17 PM
Kinda difficult to understand what you're asking since your English is not the best.

You're looking to buy Bitcoin with USD (with CC?) without having to go through a verification process?
Try finding a seller on Localbitcoins or Paxful, one that has good reviews.
3274  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ** Warning ** on: June 09, 2017, 01:21:19 PM
I think this is just another made up story and bullshit. He just needs some attention and he might want to increase traffic to his website. There are some websites which displays bitcoin address & private key pairs but none of those address contain any bitcoin or none of them have ever received any single bitcoin in past.
How would this story increase the traffic to his website? He's basically saying that by using his wallet generator, your addresses will be compromised.

It is probably a hoax just because I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to make this info public, but the scenario he describes is perfectly possible and I'm quite sure that some of these paper wallet generators do keep the private keys.

Since half of the people won't bother reading the article or tweets, I'll add them to this post:

Isn't he just talking about the recent price spike and saying that it's currently in a bubble?
He doesn't seem to be overly negative about Bitcoin if you read all of his tweets.

3277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: From faucet to thousands on: June 08, 2017, 02:01:40 PM
Start by using a faucet that actually lets you claim a couple of thousand satoshi's.
My faucet claim at Crypto-Games is now 4800 satoshi's and have won 0.01 BTC and more with that a couple of times.

You do need to level your account in order to have a high faucet claim though.
3278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can you exchange DASH for cash? on: June 08, 2017, 01:55:42 PM
Kraken offers DASH/EUR and DASH/USD exchange and they've been around for a pretty long time.
I'm not quite sure what kind of verification you have to go through to be able to exchange DASH for fiat, but have a look at their website.

3279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Am I asking too much? on: June 08, 2017, 01:47:51 PM
All i want is a decentralized exchange where I can move btc into other liquid assets like gold, fiat etc
 I dont even mind if they are just a token that refects the underlying value as long as they are safe and sufficiently liquid volume enough to easily move in and out of them. I want to do all this without touching banks or gov.


Anything like this exist or is planned?

Am I asking too much?

In my opinion, yeah, you are asking too much, a decentralized exchange? I don't think so, because this exchanges does exist because they are companies which do earn bitcoins on making a way where bitcoin users could exchange their coins or to trade their coins, and getting this decentralized would be impossible and no one would ever do that, because there is no reason to make one.


I don't want to embarrass you but like I already it does already exist I'm just wondering what other platforms exist and are planned.

Bitshares I know of, didnt like it, no vol but I havent tried it for a year.

Ripple has a kind of decentralised market, I havent looked at Ripple for a few years so I dont even know what form it takes now.


So anyone recommend other platforms? Does WAVES do this?
Have you ever heard of Bitsquare? That's another decentralized exchange which allows you to exchange Bitcoin for fiat and other cryptocurrency.
It's not that popular the last time I checked, but there are still some good offers on there.

Check out their website and download their open source app here:

3280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New way and this works fine for me on: June 07, 2017, 02:22:36 PM
I would think that it would be pretty time consuming to record every one of your transactions manually.
There should be some sort of tool that does this automatically for you.

I think something like this already exists for trading, so it's not impossible to make something like this.
