I think not everyone needs to stop gambling. If the person has enough income to pay their expenses and uses the remain money to gamble it's Ok. Gambling is a hobby for many, so instead of spending it going to the bar at night, to the nightclub, they spend their money at casinos. Gambling is only bad if you don't control yourself, because in general it can help a lot, just look how Las Vegas is wealthy.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't want the wealth of the powerful ones, what I want here is that they (the powerful ones) give me the chance to build my own wealth without bureaucracy, without unfair impositions, without having to build wealth for me and for them at same time, that is my point.

If we want to be prosperous we should start by stop glimpsing other's patrimony and focus in our own plans for the future.

About whales controlling the market, it can work on short/medium term, but once people see it became manipulated, the currency will lose its use and essence. Whales will be abandoned with a worthless currency...

Or they will turn it into a centralized market with majority's approval and will keep ruling everything as always, then decentralization fails.

Interesting words you say, I also would like to see strong individuals instead of strong states giving pennies to individuals survive. Surely an anarchy isn't a goal to live decently in an organized society, but some things must change in our currently world and Bitcoin can help us, since it stays loyal to its essence.


I believe Bitcoin is more a tool to help us reaching "Nirvana" than "Nirvana" itself.  

A war happens when all the diplomatic/pacific attempts to claim for changes have already failed.
It happens when the discussion fails and the solution is only achievable by belic ways.

You can see it against nazists, they were irreducible, only physical strength could stop them. You can see it against communists, only strength could stop them or they would enslave the world. If USA became stronger after the fall of these giants, it's just a consequence for being at the right side of the battlefield, fighting for what was right on that moment, totally fair.

Why do you think winter is a bad season for Crypto Currency? Also, it's not winter everywhere, so there must be another reason behind this and not only properly because winter itself. Crypto market is having a very bad time, and I see this as an inedit event and not as a previous pattern that is constantly repeating itself.

Everyone is free to create their own Crypto-Currency, it's useful for people who want to gain experience, train their skills, for hobby, fun, for personal purposes, etc. And it's not right to blame these developers and their coins. As OP said very clear, no one is forced to invest in any coin, you are free to choose what currencies to support. If you want to weak "shitcoin's" strength just don't put your money on them.

Wow, if that happens it's really bad, it shows a weak face of Bitcoin and the Crypto market in general for the public. Many investors will retreat with good chances to left the Crypto market for a while... However I don't think this dump happened because Google, I think it doesn't make much sense to have prices decreasing just because Google sees Crypto-Currency negatively. People who invest in this market aren't worried about what estabilishment thinks about Crypto-Currency.

Robots replacing humans at the work is total advantage for humans. While robots do all the manual, hard work, humans can have more time to relax, enjoy their lives, give attention to others, think about technology/inventions development.

The talk about humans losing jobs because robots is bullshit. No one can stop technological advancement and it always benefits everyone in the end, even those who have lost their jobs... The benefits are reflected especially at products prices, that become cheaper and more accessible for everyone.

The only negative impact would be if the robots aren't well programmed and start atacking humans and if they are used as powerful, almost invencible soldiers like in Future Terminator movies.

When these regulations come in bunch it's even worse. The corporatism is going to get stronger in Crypto-Currency world, Bitcoin is going to be mainstream as many people were waiting for, but Crypto enthusiasts will pay dearly for it.

It's true, panic just makes the situation worse. Panic leads the market to lose even more demand as people quit their investments, returning to fiat scared to lose more money. It's a terrible regression. People need to be aware in situations like this that they just need to hold and wait the price increase again.
This way they can help the market to recover itself faster, what is better for all investors.

Wow, how powerful is Google, made Bitcoin lose 9% of its price and how powerful is Facebook, made Bitcoin lose 12% of its price in January!  

Maybe we should worship Mr. Zuckerberg and Google's triad, then they might revoke their statements about Crypto advertisement, otherwise we are lost!
Crypto-Currency is going to die without their ads...

Just more one common day at the world's most corrupted country.

These guys are the government and the parallel government at same time. They don't worry about Bitcoin being banned, legal, grey area since it doesn't affect their particular businesses (and in this case, it helped a lot).

Once Bitcoin starts affecting the economy significantly, then they will worry because it will generate unstability on their personal businesses/profits and it will affect negatively the spreadsheets they have to present to population every new polls' year, spreadsheets that are the "proof" of their competence and reason why they think they should continue leading the government for more a period of time.

In my country gambling is forbidden, unless if it's the church who is promoting the game, then it's allowed. It's very common to see saints' festivals with gambling involved (bingo), usually paying the prizes in products (electronics, meat, wine, candies, vounchers, etc...).

But on the illegal sphere, there are casinos operating inside apartments and houses and these casinos pay the prizes in cash, not products. 
Many people like to go into these places, especially retired people.

March 14, they said, but seems now they are going to delay the site's return a bit more.

In 1 hour there will be a live video with the exchange's CEO talking further about the situation.

I hope it's everything really safe as they say...

Many addicted gamblers have lost all their money thinking this way.
It's a dangerous thought to imagine you are invencible and that you can win a gambling game with your mind's power.

Lol, look how strange it is: I was checking again my FreeNEM's account and found this:



Instead of the last picture on my previous post, now the txid is clickable and I can see I received the payment from them.



But look the date is was paid, 5 days later. The faucet said it was paid at day 7 and it was just paid at day 12.
Meanwhile the support should have explained the situation better, so they wouldn't be accused of being scammers.

Anyway, I couldn't be unfair by letting the story die as I didn't receive the payment.
I still think it a bit strange, but I can't say they are scammers anymore...

There are still people who weren't brainwashed and that would like to fight for something better than what we have now. People that would like to live in a more sincere and aware world, keeping the traditions, respecting the frontiers and the individuals, but these people are too few, aren't together (they don't know each other) and don't have the necessary influence or power on their hands to make the difference.

Also, they can tell whatever they want to other people and they won't listen, it will be like empty words, worthless effort, because most people don't want to wake up from the modus operandi they are already used to.

Sometimes seems there will a resistance to the imminent destruction of the old good values that brought the world to the evolutional state we reached some time ago and that people will wake up before it's too late, but it never really happens. People are inspiring themselves in wrong ideas and concepts.

Some people say Bitcoin can hit $100.000 in less than 10 years and I also think it's possible, depending how the demand grows, how it will be introduced to the masses on each country and how the technology is developed. For now it's impossible to say how much Bitcoin will be pricing after 10 years, but considering how things happen fast on our contemporary, there are good chances BTC will reach $100.000 faster.

And $100 I think it's out of cogitation, even if Bitcoin "dies", it will have a better support level than $100.

Also, I read once they can change the rates anytime, so if they feel their income isn't being sufficient to keep the 4.08% yearly, it can be decreased. I really prefer it working this way, as an "open game" between site owners and users.

Ah, I believe this kind of investment which you need to exchange your BTCs to any other "special" token/coin doesn't worth very much, because you lose the increasements in BTC price. And 1% daily is really a lot, on long term it tends to fail.

To put some money at FreeBitco.in is a good idea, try it as an experience.
Good luck, good earnings!

Indeed. I believe holders want to make profit on long term with less risk involved. But this way they can't grow their Bitcoins. To make it grow they will still need to trade sometimes. To keep the risk low, but growing the BTC amount at same time, they should find appropriate moments, like always after a big dump, buy Bitcoins and always after a big rise in price, sell some Bitcoins.

This strategy combined with passive income investments is the best option for low risk's enthusiasts in my opinion.
