For me it would seem to depend on the games I play, I feel like I'd get more easily addicted when playing slots as opposed to playing dice for example.
Also, I usually think beforehand on which days I'm going to gamble and for how much money, I usually stick to that routine.

the idea of bitcoin shops in the big cities are awesome!!! i think it will be very popular in the world and it can be one of the top tourist spots worldwide! i'm excited to know what kind of products and services that those shops will offer. i will save my bitcoin as early as now if this idea will become reality. this is really wonderful!
Very lucrative Idea, where the population is large, wide network bandwidth and communication system to rural communities but expect reaction from the banks and other competitors in the city. I'm not so sure if it would be that lucrative currently, since there are not too many Bitcoin users in the grand scheme of things. I'd be interested to see how much use some of these Bitcoin ATM's get daily, especially ones in big cities. |

You'd have to let it sit for a couple of weeks at least to get any decent ROI, you know nothing if you only invest for a couple of days.
Besides, you can easily calculate how much you'd earn over the long term if you take into account the house-edge and how much the site pays out to investors.

Most traders on there indeed charge a premium fee, but you can also get lucky and find a trader on there who doesn't charge that much above the Bitcoin price. You just have to check on different times. |

Its similar to some forms of wagering like betting on horse racing or poker.
You are taking an educated guess. Doing research may give you a slight advantage which, over time, may allow you to make more money than other players.
But its still definitely a form of gambling.
Trading is widely different from gambling as the sky from the earth. Gambling is a games of chance and forex trading is a business. Gambling is based of a probability why trading is based on skills and adequate knowledge. You don't need any knowledge to be successful in it but in forex you need to have adequate skill, understanding and know on how it works. Trading is also based on probability, though indeed, it's not the same as gambling. With trading you try to predict what is more likely to happen (price going up or down), so that's probability. You do that by doing a market analysis and by that you determine if there's either a BUY or a SELL signal. |

OpenBazaar is soon going to kill all competition, even Malls like this will not match their market. The article is very old, and merchants stop accepting bitcoins, if people do not use it to buy things at their shops. We saw what happened with Fiverr lately, and my guess is this is what lead to their decision not to accept Bitcoin any more. Everyone should always have 20% of their coins in circulation to keep this from happening.  Do you have any specific theory as to why you think OpenBazaar will kill all competition? Don't get me wrong, I'd love for that to happen, but I think the chances of that happening in the next few years are pretty slim. Do they have enough funding for marketing purposes? Is their store/app easier to use than, say, Ebay or Amazon? I think the answer to both these questions is: no |

Are you the owner of the copied post? I really hate that kind of act i was once a victim of that and what annoys me a lot is that they acted like they are the one of said it
No I'm not the owner, I just saw that another user had noticed this and decided to report it  |

Did they give a reason why they are not accepting btc anymore? Yes. They said it was because Bitcoin is now dead. It would be good measure to at least post some sources when making statements like that. You could be right, but as long as you don't post an email or other kind of statement that shows them saying this, you're just spreading FUD. I need to write a plug-in for SMF that provides users with an "I'm only writing this fluff to get my signature displayed" ignore option. Sometimes, I get halfway through the post, then realize it's just a bunch of random thoughts strung together. I would sell if on Fiverr, but they don't accept bitcoin anymore.  You can just use the ignore function for that, it's pretty easy to filter out the users who only respond to display their signature. And report the post if it's really obvious that they're spamming nonsense, they will get banned eventually! |

With that kind of money, you can easily buy webhosting and a domain for a year and learn web-development to start building a website.
You can use a CMS like Wordpress or Joomla, there are many tutorials available for that. It's also pretty easy to get started with that without having any experience, you'd have a website up and running within a week.
That way you'd be learning a skill which could be pretty valuable in the future.

Bitfortip isn't being used to tip on social media. Currently it has 7.000 registered members.
Woops, I must've confused this with another service (similar to changetip), the name threw me off for a bit. Anyway, still good to know that you've (if you're the owner) got 7000 active members! Just made an account and wanted to ask if there is any way to receive notifications by e-mail whenever new questions are posted? If not, that might be a good thing to add |

This topic would have been more interesting if there was also a poll added, to have a better overview of what most people were thinking.
I would personally still use Bitcoin, even if the price remained stable. There are certain services that I can only get by using Bitcoin and I also feel that there's an advantage for me in using Bitcoin over Paypal.
Why use Bitcoin over Paypal? For me it would be because I'm not placing any trust in a company to keep my funds safe and accessible, my account isn't at risk of being closed down and my coins should be accessible at any given time.

How does this compare to the discontinued ChangeTip? Especially in term of how many people that use it?
I have seen quite a few people use ChangeTip in the past, especially on Reddit, but I've never seen BitforTip being used, even once.

Bad idea, and there some important reason:
1. What do you mean, then say "anonymous" ? Bitsquare already anonymous and deventralized.
But how many peolple using Bitsquare? Less then number of peoples which use Poloniex or Bitfinex.
You ask me: Why that? And i will answer you: because decentralized exhanger is worse then centralized (Poloniex as an example)
Commision bigger then at centralized, it's harder to trade and there more opportunites for thiefs to steal your money. Or your time, while you will be waiting till arbitrator'll solve your problem. Also, arbitrator can check your real personal information (like a video call or e-mail). At the centralized exhanger you can use fake document.
To be fair, Poloniex and Bitfinex have been around much longer than Bitsquare. I could really see Bitsquare taking off in the next couple of years, there are already quite a few buyers and sellers on there and I've persoanlly used it without any issues. Commissions are currently a bit larger than at a centralized exchnage, but that's only because there is less competition, once it gets more popular, that will change. it's never be more popular. Humanity is developed in another direction. Because of that things like Iphone becoming more popular. Most of people year by year more become similar to kids. They dont want to think and to work their brains. Decentralized exhangers will be very hard and uncomfortable for them. By that kind of logic, people would also not get into Bitcoin, since that also requires one to learn how the Bitcoin technology works. That's a really big generalization that you're making, even if decentralized exchanges remain somewhat of a niche, that doesn't mean that they can't be successful and have reasonable popularity. |

Why are you asking? What do you hope to get out of this thread?
If you're going to ask a question like this, at least follow up with some replies, otherwise this thread is just going to end up being used by signature spammers to add meaningless nonsense.

Bitcoin is the only relevant answer.
And I know there are other currencies, but when are they ever accepted as currency with businesses? If "alternatives" exist, they need to be accepted and transacted as currency. Period.
You forgot to mention that not all altcoins have the goal of being used as a currency in the first place, just look at Ripple for example, RIpple provides blockchain solutions to banks. And there are many other altcoins that do not have 'becoming a widely used internet currency' as a primary goal. |

id say have a few items.
like a couple standard food items internationally recognised that dont fluctuate in price much.
a couple electronic items.. eg iphone is more popular than your microwave idea..
maybe car fuel or even when bitcoin creeps up in price.. a car itself
I'm surprised that you haven't mentioned Big Macs for price comparision (Big Mac Index -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index). yep thats another option. like i said a few food items that are internationally recognised and a few electrical items try to get away from just being just a bitcoin<->fiat site. as thats not really highlighting bitcoins separation from fiat Yeah, I wasn't discrediting your idea (it's pretty good imo), just adding that Big Macs are a common good to do price comparisons with Now, it would be better if Big Macs could actually be purchased with Bitcoin ofc. Aside from that, in your previous post, you mentioned that troll boxes could de-rate the website in question. How so? By having a troll box, your website doesn't automatically become a 'crackpot website', since the website itself isn't affiliated with anything said in the troll box. Poloniex has one, wouldn't call them a crackpot website. |
