Maybe people will finally research a little bit about OS other than microsoft bluescreen.

There is always something good out of the bad sittuation. People need to make more care into their bitcoin wallett security, so that there will be less stories that someone lost their coins.

There is a need of a linux bitcoin users not affected memes Tongue.
What does this have to do with the current situation? It has nothing to do with Bitcoin wallet security, it's about randsomware...
Most victims of this attack haven't even heard about Bitcoin. 

Besides, some linux distro's were also mentioned in the leaked NSA/CIA exploits, do you shouldn't think that Linux users are completely immune.

Please explain how Bitcoin has already won the war against banks?
You can't just look at the value alone, you'd have to take user adoption into account too and Bitcoin is still very very far behind in that area.

It's not even more efficient than Visa or Mastercard in processing transactions.

Another thing, I don't feel like most people who are into Bitcoin are automatically against other forms of crypto currency.
I'm guessing that a big chunk of people that are Bitcoin holders also have some altcoins or are interested in them and vice versa.

In the 21st century, cashless world is here whether we like it or not and the teeming population especially those who have the little ability of using the internet couple with affordable smart phones would continue to embrace it because it makes our life easier. Even the bitcoin we have today, majority of us don't have the physical coin rather the e-bitcoin so its not a bad thing but rather a development in the right direction for everyone to tap into.
A true cashless society would be one where people wouldn't even be allowed to use cash for anything, so it's still not here.
I really don't see how that could even work 100% of the time, cash is still needed for some people.

What do you mean by saying that people do not have 'the physical coin' (Bitcoin?)?
3364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if POKEMON GO let people earn Bitcoin? on: May 12, 2017, 12:16:35 PM
What if POKEMON GO let people sell the pokemons they caught for fraction of Bitcoins?

Imagine this:

(user loyalty reward program)
A person caught a Pokemon and sell them for 0.0003526 BTC

People who collects Pokemon can buy or sell them on the online marketplace.
People from all over the world would have exotic rare pokemons for sell on the marketplace.

Original Post:
https://steemit.com/pokemon/@cryptocurrency1/what-if-pokemon-go-let-people-sell-the-pokemons-they-caught-for-fraction-of-bitcoins

----------------------------------
I'm sure other augmented reality video games companies are jumping on board to develop 'earn while you play' video game loyalty reward system.
That will be wonderful ! All bitcoin users and Pokémon go users will increase and they will focus more in catching Pokémon just to earn bitcoin. People will go back to play Pokémon go again. And i wish if this happen the game will change.
Sounds like a good idea ! You're right sir all bitcoin users and Pokémon go users will increase because all pokemon go users will play it again. If this plan happen i wish all the rare Pokémon will have a high btc price because like ratata it is weak type Pokémon so it will be in a low price.
Is Pokemon go still that popular these days? Haven't seen anyone play it anymore here on the streets since around one month after launch.
Also, wouldn't Nintendo be pretty quick to shut any kind of marketplace down? They're not too keen about anyone using their copyright.
3365  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many of my fellow bitcoiners do affiliate marketing? on: May 11, 2017, 05:09:17 PM
I did a lot of affiliate marketing in the past, I had a couple of template websites where I gave away hundreds of free templates with resale license and also had offers for paid templates from Templatemonsters (not sure).
Got asome nice commissions from that, but this was almost 10 years ago.

Also made some good deals back in the day by buying cheap keywords on Adwords and promoting campaigns with an unrestricted Adwords policy. You know, spend 500 dollars in Adwords and get around 750 dollars in affiliate earnings.

The good ole Adwords days, some people were even seeing more profit than that! Pretty much facebook ads is the new adwords in a sense. I have an affiliate spending $2500 a day and making $4000-5000 a day on a diet product with facebook ads. Just have to know your target audience and the right keywords and you will be sitting on gold!
I was still pretty young at that time, certainly under 18 Smiley For me it was a pretty nice amount of money at the time and I'm sure I didn't have everything fully optimized.
I might have to pick it up again and start testing with Facebook ads by the sound of it!

That was a very good accomplishment for being so young! I'd say it would be worth it to give it a go with facebook ads, you'd enjoy the platform seeing all the different targets you can hit. Facebook ads accounts start you with a $50 a day spending limit and they will allow you to spend more every few days of paying your bill so you can scale up.
Yeah, I'll definitely look into that. Do they also have some coupons for first time users? With Adwords it used to be up to 100 euros in Adwords credits you'd get.
I might try it out with some Bitcoin affiliate programs Wink
3366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: May 11, 2017, 04:48:28 PM
Easy because gamblers do not want their identities to be knowed and almost all fiat gambling asks us to verify accounts to able make a withdrawals but with the advent of bitcoin gambling site. we do not need to verify our account maybe that's why bitcoin gambling sites are successful.

The anonymity that bitcoin offer give a big impact to gambling industry. Gamblers who used to be reluctant/afraid to gamble online with fiat now flocked to enliven gambling sites. This mainly caused by the anonymity which bitcoin offers.
I don't think that this is a really big reason in countries that already have legalized online gambling. You can also gamble somewhat anonymously on regular gambling websites.
At least anonymous for your friends and family.

I'm not sure why you'd have to gamble anonymous from the government in case it's legal.
3367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If only.... on: May 11, 2017, 04:39:24 PM
Damn, for something like this you can't even be rightfully mad at yourself, you pretty much had no other option than selling.
At least you didn't sell them without really needing it, but I guess that doesn't make it any less painful.

There might still be oportunities like this with altcoins...
3368  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Most reputable exchange for US based person? on: May 11, 2017, 03:41:38 PM
Kraken.

Coinbase is a bit too friendly with the IRS.........
That and they're known for closing people's accounts for very vague reasons, I guess sometimes it's for supposed illegal activities, but I've seen stories of people's accounts getting closed for things like gambling.
Can't be sure that all these stories are true, but it's something to keep in mind.

Have a look at these search results:
https://www.google.be/search?q=coinbase+closed+account&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=94UUWenGCLPc8Ae3u5roDg

I also recommend Kraken!
3369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: May 11, 2017, 03:37:17 PM
I think greed is the main reason why a lot of people eventually loses money when they are gambling, it's hard to change a greedy person when they are in dire search of money. Maybe attending seminars for greedy people will eventually help.
Theres no seminars for greedy people but only a psychiatrist for those who are badly affected on gambling addiction.Aiming always for money does really contribute for most people to become a gambling addict because having this kind of aims will really push you to play gambling even more and knowing of being greedy is really a part of human nature which we can really hardly avoid when this thing comes out.
There is AA(Alcoholics Anonymous) for those with problems with alcohol so I will not be surprised if there was an association to help gamblers all over the US where they can share their experiences and how they have been affected by gambling addiction.
I do not think that gamblers will ever give time to others to tell them about their gambling experience they will be either busy in continuing their gambling or will have not money to go to any person so there will be another association comprised of expert and psychologists and they will hep the gamblers to tell them that how to gamble and when need not to gamble.
A lot of countries offer free help for addicts, most likely also for problematic gamblers.
And I think that once a gambler has really hit rock bottom, they will eventually want to seek help for their problem.

What do you say in that second part? That psychologists would help gamblers by telling them how to gamble? What?
3370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why Factom still not on Coinbase? on: May 11, 2017, 02:25:13 PM
They currently have Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, those coins all have a decent marketcap and trading volume.
In comparison, Factom isn't even in the top 20 on Coinmarketcap, that should answer your question.

Check it out for yourself:

3371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: May 11, 2017, 02:16:20 PM
They definitely offer certain functionality that other traditional casino's don't offer.

For example, when I gamble on the website of a traditional casino with a license in my country, I have to wait 2 to 3 days before a payout is even approved and after that another 2 days before the money is on my bank account.

At most Bitcoin casino's, withdrawals are pretty much instant and the games have a pretty low house edge.
3372  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: May 11, 2017, 02:13:09 PM
you can make a gambling website, promote the hell out of it, and earn steady income off of the house edge. I think its more reliable than trading; at least you know for certain that you are more statistically likely to win.

How difficult would it be to make a gambling website? I'm very good at SEO, but know crap for website development.

As long as you have the money you can always hire someone to do it for you and imo it's not good to do all things on your own unless you are really

highly knowledgeable in that field. i know its obvious but you know that you shouldn't run something that you don't know much information about right?

Money will make money, the saying will apply to you that you will have your money work for you. You are right dude, you can always hire competitive and talented people to do the job, as long as you have the passion of what you are doing, it's not impossible to succeed, and once you build it up already stable or steady income will follow.
That's not all there is to it for building a successful gambling website, I'd personally start another business.
You need much more capital than you'd need for just hiring someone to build you a website.

You need to be in order with regulations & in terms of capital we're talking 100k minimum.
3373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: European parliament and Ethereum on: May 11, 2017, 02:09:04 PM
That third link you provided really shows how much interest there is for Ethereum, just compare it to Bitcoin.
I wonder how many people actually voted on this, the Twitter post doesn't seem to have gathered much interest, so results might be skewed.

I know there are development updates in the development section of their forum, but I can't seem to find anything about planned features.

3377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: where it easier to win bitsler or pocket dice ? on: May 11, 2017, 10:16:39 AM
The lower the house edge, the easier is it to win! How much is the house edge at Pocket Dice?
Yeah, but only in the long term though. You could still win 'easier' playing on a slot machine with 5% house edge than on one with a 2% house edge due to variance.
Same with dice and all other games.

The phrase 'the house always wins' only applies over the long term.
3378  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you trade shitcoins? on: May 10, 2017, 04:06:42 PM
I've spent some money on shitcoins a couple of years ago, but I quickly learned that it's just going to end in losses.
Now I only invest in established coins and very rarely in new coins that have interesting ideas or functionality.
3379  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in LTC or BTS on: May 10, 2017, 02:01:41 PM
LTC but the price is high now due to SegWit
As long as Bitcoin is having these scalability issues, I could still see LTC growing after this initial Segwit interest.
I could definitely see more and more Bitcoin users switching if the transactiomn stay slow and expensive.

Plus, who knows what Litecoin will do after as few months? Can't completely count out some new announcement.
3380  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ASK] Why do people buy altcoin? on: May 10, 2017, 01:43:14 PM
I mostly buy them for long term investments and to a lesser extent also for actual use, usually when Bitcoin's transaction fees are just too high.
I'm a big fan of Litecoin and I'm seeing that the project has quite a lot of momentum going on now with the recent Segwit activation.
