3641  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you would win a Jackpot what would you do with the money? on: October 09, 2017, 04:53:53 AM
If I win jackpot(I am sure I will win it this week  Grin):

1) You would gamble with it again, trying to multiply the bet, to get even more money - Big no!
2) You would withdraw the money, and invest it into some financial investment: maybe some cryptocurrency investment, maybe some fiat investment - I would put in in different banks and live from interest.
3) You would spend it:
    A) Buy a car or a house -
Yes
    B) Spend it on women or wife - Yes
    C) Spend it on your kids - Yes
4) Donate it to charity - Part of it, yes
5) Start up a business - No, if i win jackpot i don't want to work anymore ever, your own business means a lot of work, more than 8 shift work for somebody else
6) Hold it in Bitcoin - No.
If you are interested in earning interest then no bank can give you as much interest as bitcoin can so I think it would be wiser to spend some of the amount on bitcoin too. After all, it can give thousand dollars within months.

If I were so lucky to win a jackpot, I will start a business because I like to keep myself busy and of course, invest some in bitcoin too.

Japan is technically more advanced and thus its easier for people to accept a new norm and its preety amazing how things are adapted there that produces a nice balance for everyone.
As for other countries .. i personally think it depends upon your country stage of development and the acceptance of goverment.
If the government accepts it and makes it legal the companies will be forced to accept bitcoins and any other fiat.
Varies from country too country
It is necessary that people become aware of the concept of virtual currencies, bitcoins and their uses. Secondly legalization of bitcoins is very important to get a higher percentage of retailers from all over the world.

Although some countries have banned bitcoins but some are legalizing it because they have very large number of retailers who buy bitcoins frequently during dump periods to make their future investments.
3643  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you manage ur emotions? on: October 07, 2017, 02:44:12 PM
I used to gamble way too much for my own good. Day in, day out. Constantly in the red, and continuously hoping for that one ticket up, just one huge jackpot win. Never got it.

I don't gamble anymore, but I've learned a couple of skills to handle emotions, especially when trading or making decisions.

1 - Before you make a decision, look at the reasons why. If any of them are emotionally-driven, they aren't valid.
2 - If you find yourself crying or upset, don't decide, or take the safe path. You dont think straight when you're affected emotionally.
3 - Bet what you can lose Nope. Don't bet at all. Only idiots leave the outcome to fate and chance. Take fights you will win.
I am glad that you have left the world of gambling. I have seen many gamblers who have tried to win jackpot and in this desperation, most of them end up losing all their valuables.

They don't just trouble themselves but their relatives also but you learnt some significant skills and these can help you a lot in becoming a successful trader. You can make decisions with a calm mind which many can't.
3644  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: just a simple question? on: October 07, 2017, 10:50:40 AM
because China is a country that uses bitcoin, especially businessmen in China, and because of the concern of the Chinese government if the yuan currency will lose with bitcoin, then China forbids bitcoin and ico, according to the news I have ever read.
China is one of most important pillar in development of bitcoin. They have made this business so classic that every other person is coming into it. But Chinese government can only take that much which doesn’t surpass them their own currency.

Bitcoin was overwhelming the effect of yuan so they have banned bitcoin for a time being. I hope they will legalize it after.
3645  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if another altcoin surpasses BTC in value? on: October 07, 2017, 09:24:16 AM
I think it is not possible for some altcoin to overcome Bitcoin. All of the altcoins are Bitcoin based. I mean, look at the exchange sites, how can you buy an altcoin? Of course through Bitcoin (and some via Ethereum). Aside from that, Bitcoin is the one who started it all. Therefore, it is the mther of all coins. And lastly, it is the only coin with unknown developers. We inly know its developer by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Yes I agree it's impossible for other altcoin to overcome Bitcoin. It's like a tree, Bitcoin is the root and the altcoins are the branches. Without the root the tree will die.
It is not like that. There is no rocket science behind this fact that bitcoin is only famous just of having big profit ratios.

As now, if another coin with more profit ratio would be developed, believe me there is nothing about bitcoins would be remained on news. It is just matter of money and profits whosoever can make more that will be the king.
3646  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin: Best investment in 2017? on: October 07, 2017, 08:54:55 AM
Bitcoin price has outperformed every reserve and fiat currency across the world year to date, yet again. By outperforming the US dollar by over 30 percent, Bitcoin surpassed the growth of the Mexican Peso, Silver, Gold and Russian Ruble to become the best performing currency so far in 2017.

Thus far, 2017 has been a successful year for both Bitcoin investors and alternative cryptocurrency (altcoin) traders, with leading altcoins or crypto assets such as Ethereum achieving a $5 bln market cap in early April. The Bitcoin market, however, experienced some major changes in its ecosystem earlier this year. The major driving force of Bitcoin price in 2017 is suspected to be the resolution of the Bitcoin network’s current scalability problems.

The Bitcoin network’s one MB cap on block size is causing Blockchain congestion, a drastic increase in fees at times and long confirmation times. If Bitcoin scalability issues are addressed within this year, with innovative solutions such as Bitcoin Core’s Segregated Witness (SegWit), Andrew Lee’s Extension Blocks or other potential emerging solutions, Bitcoin price will most likely demonstrate an exponential mid and long-term increase.

Would you invest in BTC this year?
After the price of bitcoin increased by at least 4 times earlier this year, investors, governments, centralized organizations, celebrities and many more started to do research on bitcoin and a few even started using them, investing in them and this has made a big difference on people's view on bitcoin and crypto currency to be honest. Few months ago if you mention bitcoin to some people they will just be negative about it and taunt it.  But if you mention it now, they will be all like, "OH, bitcoin " and will act surprised and interested because they don't know shit about it and only react just because they know the price is damn high.
As bitcoin is still new to some people that’s why it is defamed every time, now situation is good because price has gone up and news are viral that everyone is wanting it because of its nature so the difficult time has gone now there will be profit and the investors, when a thing is new to market people just want to know as it become famous they buy it same is with bitcoin.
3647  Economy / Economics / Re: Investment for Bitcoins on: October 07, 2017, 08:12:46 AM
There's a lot investments of bitcoin ethtrade today is skyrocketing they are paying 1% a day but it depends on the trading per day the trading will work for monday to friday,,,saturday and sunday is the restday or dayoff the traders,, but if you want the investment that is safe try to learn some trading you can gain there profits.
Actually, there are lot of investment for bitcoin and we all know that investing in bitcoin is a nice idea and it can really help you to make and gain much profit. Investing in bitcoin is a good investment for a long term because as of now the price was rapidly increasing so that it will result to a high income.
Investment in bitcoin is like giving water to tree once and that will give you fruit forever and bitcoin is same like that tree and wisest option to earn money is bitcoin and bitcoins allow everyone to invest and enjoy the benefits, it start giving profit at very next moments of buying and all this is just related to bitcoin no other investment is so beneficial.
3648  Economy / Economics / Re: Are cryptocurrencies better than regular currency on: October 07, 2017, 07:32:17 AM
No, unless society is used with cashless/electronic payment method and most people have smart device with internet connection. Also, cryptocurrency is practically useless in poor country.
Digital currencies like Bitcoin and Etherum provide an easy and inexpensive way of transferring money, which can be a replacement to postal companies such as Western Union. They essentially also provide means of detaining money if you aren’t dealing with bank accounts or credit cards, which is frequent in the developing world. 
In these countries if people want to send money to their family in the countryside, most of them have to send it in a bag with someone, which isn’t a tenable situation in this era. So cryptocurrencies aren't that "useless" in "poor countries" .

Its not really useless even on rich people too knowing that theres no people have been selected on who would be the one to make use of it.As long we can able to make use on cryptos we can really send funds in a matter of clicks which is more comfortable compared into those money remittances.They do really have already a competitor when it comes to money transfer and im sure they are aware on the existence of crypto as of now.
Comparing regular currencies to the cash is ridiculous, crypto is far better than casual money it allows you to trade free al across the world ad will give you huge blows of profit and this will be more fascinating thing of crypto that it is same for all users but casual currency is not same for all everyone is measuring richness according to cash quantity.
3649  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we make more money? on: October 06, 2017, 09:08:40 AM
You dont need skills, you dont need be formed or anything else, all you need is some good ammount of money, being btc is the easy and try lucky at trading or investing into some casino bankroll, the rest is hope and pray to people keep playing at those house, and expect a good result. Outside those you can try to make your own casino, dice or exchange , that are the places where the most bitcoin and altcoins are being spent at.
I do not know why you have said you don’t need all those stuffs you have mentioned, but skills will get you more, information will help you make some quick decisions.

In fact let us be practical here, the only reason you are here now and you are part of this community at this present moment is because you are more informed than those who aren't. Should we even talk about skills ?

Do you want to compare what you are earning on signature campaigns to what programmers are earning on one freelance project? I bet you already know the answer to that.
3650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker v Other casino games online on: October 05, 2017, 07:17:45 AM
i don't really even know how to play poker,  Grin I don't have an idea on playing it, so I choose playing dice because it is easy to play. But I just play and bet with small amounts.  Grin
Well, that is okay if you do not know and it is not a very difficult game. Actually the difficulty level depends upon the opponent but it has no difficult rules or a long list of it. I think, this casino game has the most players and believe me, it is hell of a fun.

You must try it with your friends if not in a casino. You will learn a lot out of it. Dice games are also entertaining because they are not time taking but it is wise to place small bets like you do.
3651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: October 05, 2017, 06:46:39 AM
Gambling has given pleasure for me when I win a much money, but when I lose and lose constantly, i would be frustrated , it is not make me more happy, so maybe i will play gambling with low betting, so when I lose, i'm not sad and sorry for not losing a lot
What are you saying you are happy not make me happy if you lose in gambling you will always be sad i haven't found anyone who has been happy about it loss unless he got his funds for free. Even if you play with a small bankroll you will still lose it might not make you sad but when you continuously play with small bankrolls your loss will increase

I guess the fun seeking gamblers will be happy with a loss so to doesn't because they claim to derive the happiness from the mere fact of gambling than making profit.

Normally, gamblers will be happy when they won/got profit from their actions and will be unhappy when lost some money. But for the fun seeker gamblers, even though they unhappy caused by their lost, they won't regret it. They can afford to lose the money and it won't affect their life.

Then it sucks to be a fun seeking gambler because you loose always and pretend to be happy. Why wouldn't you care about money you've thrown away?  Is it that you're filthy rich? Even the rich crave for more so I don't think it's healthy to be a fun seeking gambler.

Surely it hampers the wealth of fun seeking gamblers but it is not that they always loose. They win, and they loose as well, but they are not affected. I believe most of the fun seeking gamblers are not fully addicted and can control themselves and their desire to win and win.
I spoke to some fun seeking gamblers who mostly plays to have fun but when they are playing Poker and all, they become serious, so it seems type of gambling also effects sometimes.

Personally I find it a good way to entertain yourself while making negligible profit. Sometimes it also diverts my mind from hectic and stressed life.
And also teaches me to control and when and where to put a limit to something.
Gambling could be a danger for those who play it for the sake of fun and keep up with the game even after a rapid round of failures. This is because they are affected negatively without been able to notice the fact that they must give up as soon as possible.

If someone does this on daily basis just as a casual habit or so, then this would eventually turn into an addiction which is quite an alarming situation. Gambling could only be a healthy game for those who consider their losses and try to be in limits finding some other ways to release stress or enjoy leisure time.
Gambling can be harmful to anyone who is playing it without having any limitations. Fun seekers will also end up facing financial problems if they keep on losing money but there is one thing that I have noticed in such gamblers, they do not play a lot and that is why we won't see much of them crying around. No matter how much we love a specific activity, we will always have limits.
3652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Benefits from Gambling on: October 05, 2017, 06:14:45 AM
It is very risky to earn money in gambling, even if we wanted to earn in gambling in a fastest way, sometimes this is also the reason why we are losing a lot of money and eager to won fast. Even if we don't have any assurance that we will going to win. We need to accept the fact that in the reality we cannot won all the time in gambling.
Yes in gambling there is no assurance that we will win our bet or not. We have to play just based on our luck if we can make a profit we think it is our lucky day or else we should accept our loss. How much fast we will win money that much fast we will lose this is the concept of gambling.
That's true, we cannot rely our income in gambling because this is too risky to rely on. Our income should not be able to do in gambling because gambling cannot give our needs in our everyday expenses. We can't get benefits in gambling unless we are so lucky that we can win everyday here.

We cant and we dont need to do but we can always take profit from gambling site investment. That is the best route that we can take from gambling to make money. We cant win against the house but we can be part of the house so that we wont really need to waste our money to try to gamble but we can win from the investment in the long term
House is not always on winning side, there are some house that lose and bankrupts, maybe because there are lots of gamblers in there house that is always winning, which they cannot earn, more than lots of gamblers are playing with their house. Not all the time house can be a winner in a long term. But always take care also when we play gambling.
Honestly friend, I have not heard of any such house but if there are present such places, and then the owner definitely has no business skills. Casinos and gambling sites are not made for entertaining people; the basic purpose is to earn money by attracting masses.

Maybe, in the beginning some house gives an edge to its customers so that they won't leave it and once the gambler becomes addicted, they can gulp his wealth.
3653  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most likely pumps soon on: October 04, 2017, 07:31:04 PM
Feel free to question it,

but I would say ABY, ZEC and WAVES are in a very vulnerable position and are very likely to be pumped very soon.  Grin

Out of all of these I would say ABY is going to be a pump and dump with the largest spread and highest profit. It has started recovering again! Cool



Waves and NEO or still good projects, they are facing some problems but future will show us answers about our questions.
Morelikely waves is the best I can see it will pump soon. When you hold waves and believe in the development it will profitable in the future. It will going to pump the waves soon.
i'm not see waves have a big marketcap at this time, it may take a long time to experience the pump and the current price of waves still in low positions, i think NEO is more potential, in various markets NEO is very crowded in purchasing by many people, proved NEO has hude marketcap, i think NEO will have a high price in the near future, lets see!

Bitcoin is the only crypto coin that will pump the most. As it has already started to make progress, all other digital assets will also rise up in future. In altcoins, there are only two coins that have the potential to pump up soon. Ethereum and monero, I am not forgetting etc, neo, ltc or waves but all these will increase their value slowly. Also the increment won't be a great one.
3654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH target 1000$ in ending of this year on: October 04, 2017, 02:03:39 PM
I hope it consolidates and falls dip sub $200. If the ethereum price should fall to between $150 and $200, it would be cheap enough to merit buying more. Hopefully next year it will trade close to $1000.
Ethereum is the only altcoin that has the potential to give some good profits. I don't think there will be a dip again in this month.

Moreover, the value won't go as high as 1k dollars at the end of this year. It will take more time because ethereum does not make a progress at a good speed. We cannot blame it for this but the total supply is very large whereas users are still in a limited amount.
3655  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The power of Bitcoin on: October 04, 2017, 07:41:25 AM
The power of Bitcoin, $10,000 Bitcoin Investment in 2010 Now Worth $200 Million
Bitcoin is power full & magical.Bitcoin is getting stronger day by day Perhaps it will reach $ 4,000 by the end of this year, and next year we aim to reach 10 kilometer Bitcoin, but now we should invest in Bitcoin.
Yeah, I cant imagine that it can be up as high as this. It is also powerful and magical at what he said that it is like a fairytail that there is a happy ending to the bitcoin users tht are using it. And as of now there are a lot of people in the whole world are using it and I hoped all of us may use it.
In the first half of this year, I also had no idea that bitcoins will become this much expensive. It is not like I have underestimated this coins but I never thought that it will reach such a high value within two or three months.

Even during the downfall, its lowest value was an expensive one. Now it is again rising up. Honestly, it makes me feel like I am watching at a young lion that is conquering the whole jungle.
3656  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: October 04, 2017, 05:35:13 AM
If you were in desperate need for money / Bitcoins, what would you do? How to get it, earn it, whatw are your solutions and experiences? I wonder what people are ready to do when money is the problem.

If I were desperate to get money I would love to ask my friends in how to earn. I have experienced this instances when I didn't know about the bitcoin and asked them to teach me and help me to earn because I urgently need money. So they start to teach me and describe how bitcoin works.
If someone is in a desperate need of money then he should ask for the help of his closed ones or relatives. I don’t think so that it is a choice to sell your bitcoins to fulfill your needs. The time passes by and it is possible to use other ways to earn the require amount.

The best way indeed is to look for some sort of savings kept besides in your bank lockers or financial help from your dear and nears so that you could take it as a debt and return after having a job or so.
3657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is happening again? The market is looking all red! on: October 03, 2017, 11:49:00 AM
I think the Bitcoin market has dropped in price by hundreds of dollars in just a few hours. I advise not to panic, we wait until the price is setabil. because currently bitcoin is in development and also demand many people in the market.
No need to worry about the price as it is down to will be boosted in no time and advise to the investors don’t be panic this will cause huge loss, I am sure its price will go up in no time and those who sell in this moment will regret in the pump day that why’d they sell so hold your coins there will be raise in price as now demand of bitcoin is increased as compared to before.

3658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Really A Currency or An Asset? on: October 03, 2017, 11:03:58 AM
Bitcoin has been touted as a crypto-currency, capable of replacing fiat currencies but the reality today is that most people prefer to hold bitcoins rather than spend it. Can we really say it si a currency when a large number of bitcoin users treat it as an asset?
Its obviously both, In terms of its asset comparrison it might be precious metals. In terms of its currency utility it is very useful for large transactions, in particular large or international transactions, but it gets expensive and cumbersome for small everyday transactions.
If one is spending it for the daily works then it is counted in currency on other hand if one is maintain wallet of it and continuously adding bitcoins to it for the future then it is asset and it gives benefits in both ways no matter how anyone use it bitcoin bless everyone miner, trader and investor, so do whatever you want whether you want to spend or want to hold it works for you.
3659  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible? on: October 03, 2017, 10:26:23 AM
Can bitcoin be the world's currency?
In my opinion, Bitcoin will never be a world's currency or even a country currency. For bitcoin is only a digital currency which means it doesn't have appearance. The other reason why it can't be a world's currency is, it is not centralized, it doesn't pass through central banks. In addition to that, bitcoin is not subjected to tax but still government can impose tax to bitcoin if ever they want to.
I think its possible.  Currency is the heart of trading and transactions and as long as people value it or accepted it for goods and services rendered. And since bitcoin is already accepted by many countries, it satisfies the condition to be the world currency. It just that it is not yet  official.
As a global currency it will work awesome there will be no worries about the economy destabilization and I am sure this will happen but this will take time because there are still many regions around the globe who don’t know about this innovation so through proper advertisement attract people to it and this will be automatically declared as global currency as it demand increases.
3660  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [WAVES] Speculation thread on: October 03, 2017, 08:25:02 AM
waves broke out the falling trendline, and it started increasing very nice. 90k-100k was the bottom support area. Technically we should be in the 3rd wave, and I expect a move up to 350k till the end of this year. Moving run will be similar to Neo's increase this summer
Not only waves, but all the digital currencies have finally broken out the falling trend line.
I have same expectations from Waves. It will definitely touch that much a value before New Year. It is one of the altcoins that I have liked. Though it is not number one but has great potential of surviving like Monero and Ethereum. Its users are also increasing with time.
