41  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours a day are you spending on online gambling? on: September 20, 2018, 11:52:04 AM
I play almost every time when I have some free tome and sit in front of the computer and usually it's going as much as the tournament and my participation in it, so 2-5 hours and in bad days less than that.
In fact after starting gambling online I have really increased my gambling activities. In past while visiting a casino was not so easy, for that you need to manage and find out time to visit a casino and play gambling. While using online casino it has become possible to play gambling at any time you want.

Lol online casino sites provide convenience in playing gambling games so that everyone is free to play gambling without even a
minimum age, so it's no wonder many players spend more time on gambling because they only need a laptop or even a cellphone to play
And that also balls down to the reason why a lot of addicts are increasing every day. For someone who is ready to face reality and not let gambling take over most of their precious time, which I believe someone who is always busy doing other things and only have very few minutes of his day to spend, will not end up spending more than necessary on gambling.
Even if it is for fun, there should always be limit, and I feel even 1 hour of gambling is a whole lot.

also the availability of online gambling makes them harder to stay away because you can access it easily compare to casinos, yeah people who always busy dont have time to gamble or even for themselves gamblers who often gamble must have alot of time in their hands, i think having a maximum limit is better than maximum time you never know how much you would spend in every session.
What do you mean by how many hours? Gambling is not a job and one should not give much time to such a bad thing. I just give 30 minutes to gambling in casino, because I don’t believe in online gambling. It is just a waste of time and money. I give 30 minutes to gambling and the rest to having enjoyment with my friends doing different things.
42  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin will not hit 20000 soon? on: September 20, 2018, 11:11:39 AM
Bitcoin's growth began in early 2017 and then it touch 20000. Bitcoin's largest growth is due to the ability to trade with tether dollar. With this growth, a huge growth in ICOs appeared. Nowadays about 30 ICOs are added to the market. This huge volume of ICOs, has taken the power of bitcoin growth. Like weeds next to a tree. Bitcoin will not grow until ICOs exists.
No, icos grew in price when the market was hot and the market was hot because investors were putting their money in bitcoin and they decided to invest in all kind of speculative coins not understanding why they were doing, if what you said was right icos should be dominating the market now and growing like we have never seen them before, but the opposite is happening with icos barely reaching their soft caps and trading way below their ico price after they are listed in an exchange.

Yes, that is true. I recently read an article about ico. Basically only a handful of icos made it far enough. I recently looked at ico stats and the statistics were not so bright for much of the recent ICO's. In a sense, projects attracted attention to crypto space because it looked innovative, a fintech revolution. Thus, people invested in ICO's but the ICO's teams don't invest in Bitcoin alternatively. So yes, lots of link between two subjects.
This is what is keeping icos down, it seemed that we were seeing some kind of revolution similar to what we saw with the dot com bubble, but now people have realized that it was not the case and many icos were nothing but scams or projects that were released by developers that had no idea what they were doing and now no one wants to invest in icos for the time being.
It is because the price is below $6500 and there is a long way to go to reach to $20000. The current market situation shows no signs for growth in short time, therefore it is hard to tell when will it hit again the previous highest price. the price predictions are too ambiguous that I do no tbelieve in that and mostly they are against the facts. Just wait and see.
43  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Cryptocurrency threatens governments on: September 18, 2018, 12:08:06 PM
The government is trying to make everything under its control, the banks control all the money, and the government controls that banks.
Blocking or restricting is a feature of anything new, new things need time to accept.
The Internet has been a tool for freedom before, but now there are a lot of restrictions on its use, and this will happen to cryptocurrencies.
I do not know why people tend to be controlled? But this is a present trait.
Banks are the backbone of the economy for a country. If banks have huge money in accounts, the economy of the country will also improve, but if they have no money it means that governments have no money for their needs. Now they realize that people put their money in cryptocurrency and it is not good for a country. Their money is going out of the country and it is overall not good.
44  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Too many new Exchanges on: September 17, 2018, 12:18:55 PM
Recently i was working on a project related to Altcoin listing on different exchanges. Strange i found out too many new exchanges and people are trading well over there. Don't you guys think there should be limited number of exchanges and regulated ones? (Many new exchanges are nicer too and competitive but there is always a trust issue there specially for new investors). Your thoughts.

I think there are more expected exchanges as the years passed by. I think they knew that new exchanges are based only on BTC. It had to be understand that new exchanges needs to be research in order to avoid risk trading. If we see proof that exchanges are existing, it must be sure that 80 percent of it probably to be in your possession.
Yeah it is right the number of exchanges is investing day by day because they think that making money from exchange is very easy than anything else and many of them are just there in the market for scam. They take huge money from people around the world and disappear from the market. You cannot claim your money anywhere. I always use authentic and reliable exchange for my transaction.
45  Economy / Marketplace / Re: "Bitcoin mining is a Big no!" on: September 17, 2018, 10:31:33 AM
Bitcoin mining is a big no for me too. I don't think there is any reputable cryptocurrencies mining firm nowadays. Once you deposit your investment, making profit will forever remain an issue. I will rather buy my bitcoin and HODL it till I am ready to sell it at a profitable price.
It is because mining is not easy; requirements for mining needs huge money and the earnings are too little. If the price of bitcoin fall more, miners will stop mining because there will be no profit in mining due to low bitcoin price. Why they would spend thousands of dollars and waste their time for nothing. That’s why many people now say big no to mining bitcoin.
46  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin/ Crypto ATM's on: September 15, 2018, 08:27:52 AM
Curious but there are more than 4000 bitcoin ATM worldwide. Why curious? Because fees of those ATMs are very, very high and it doesn't worth to use them. I highly doubt people use them often. Maybe some bitcoin enthusiasts just test them and then go away because you have to be crazy to accept their exchange rates. But still interesting if anyone has statistics of how much bitcoin has withdrew from those ATMs.
Yeah you are right that the ATMs worldwide are not in use. Nobody withdraw their coins from ATMs. So the management of cryptocurrency thought that when people do not use ATMs why we should install more machines. That’s why that has stopped installing more machines. It is good because it is just a waste of money. People use their coins directly from their wallets.
47  Economy / Economics / Re: Be Creative and Earn on: September 14, 2018, 11:05:59 AM
Wow, indeed creative guy. This is just a proof thay anyone is capablr of thinking a creative way to earn in cryptocurrency. Crypto has a loy to offer aside from trading, this man is just great.
Yeah, that was a very creative artwork with the need to promote bitcoin which I am sure a lot of bitcoin enthusiast will not blink an eye before donating for this art work. The thing about creativity is that you tend to use your creativity to speak words that even everyone will understand and get the attention of those who you feel it will be able to help. An art with 100 euro being burnt and the artist receiving donation in bitcoins is a great level of creativity. If people can start learning how to be creative enough, they will earn better and easily than they would think.

Creative things must be planted early, using your young age well will bring success. Being creative and skilled is needed in life now to make money.
Like most people always say, a time will come in your life when the things you were strong and capable enough to do back in your youthful days will start subsiding and you will find it hard to even be able to do half of it. Let your creativity work for you and then you will be able to see your future being solidly grounded for greatness. Creativity has to do with what you are passionate about, and earning from what you are passionate about is actually one of the easiest ways to make more and be fulfilled at the same time.
It is good to think of earning in this world but it is not as easy as just saying. You will have to wait for long time and mostly you will lose your money due to lose in the price. As we see bitcoin price remained almost constant during the whole of this year and there is no increase in the price. Many investors disappointed and they withdraw or convert their money to Altcoin.
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum $ 218 is a bottom or a springboard. on: September 10, 2018, 10:09:41 AM
Hello, I wanted to know your opinion about Ethereum, you do not lose optimism. What do you think about the end of 2018.
I think that soon Ethereum will grow up to 1000 dollars but will lose 2 place. And EOS will take the second place.
I actually do not know what the end of 2018 is going to be like and I really do not care. What I care about now is to try as much as possible to buy the dips based on the fact that I am monitoring the trend. The lower it goes, the better since all I am looking at is the long term prospects anyway.

There is no point assuming for the future or imagining if ETH is going to end up losing its second place or not, really it does not matter, just invest if you feel it has a future or do not invest.
49  Economy / Economics / Re: The money started coming back to the cryptocurrency market on: September 10, 2018, 07:37:08 AM
Bitcoin is rising again so there is need to celebrate! The long waited moment is here. I just hope that now when it's rising, there won't be bunch of newbies who will decide to  sell it all at the same time, as that might have a negative impact in the Bitcoin

Disagree, we must not do anything, the price is barely above 7000 dollars and you think that is a recovery worth celebrating? That is still within the usual parameters of bitcoin and its volatility, it is likely we will see the price below 7000 dollars in just a few days or weeks, I know people want positive news and a new bull market but it is not going to happen just because you want it.
It is indeed not a recovery worth celebrating. It is a good thing to see the market trying as much as possible to imprint some bullish signs though, but we also have to understand that this in a way is still being suppressed by the bears and that makes them still available in action.

As we keep moving up, the price keeps getting weaker and that might bring about another down trend. For now, I guess we just have to wait and see how things would end up turning out to be.
50  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money on a long-term period on: September 08, 2018, 12:43:47 PM
Monitor and observe your expenses and income and just look for the reason why you have a small savings like spending more money in shopping or eating outside the house then adjust that and slowly work on your budget so you will have to save more money than before and that will give you a chance to save more money on a long term period.
Yeah! It is one thing to want to save money in a long term period and it is another thing to be prudent with your spending. So many times we have seen people waste money on irrelevant things and rather than using their youthful age to focus on how they can make things better for themselves, they just simply blow it off on things that would not bring any positive impact to them. As long as you have a focus, you have great plans and you know what you want to attain, be it investments or the likes, then saving will never be a problem.
51  Economy / Speculation / Re: will the beginning of 2019 btc rise? on: September 05, 2018, 12:40:53 PM
I think so. I mean common financial sense tells me that the more the dollar devalues the more bitcoin will go up. Considering we haven't had a big bull run yet, depending on the end of the 2018 fiscal year we can see what will happen however if the 2018 closes on a no-bull run and all we get is this 7k or max 8k than we can be sure that in 2019 can go up and have a bull run.

Bitcoin can go only so long without any bull run, people will eventually get back to bitcoin and if they do not do that in 2018 than we will see one in 2019. However if we finish 2018 with a good bull run and before 2019 it gets a big run than we may not see one in 2019 or at least in the early months just like what happened to 2018.
52  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why do we complain when the market is down? on: September 03, 2018, 09:24:44 AM
Because some people especially newcomers have the mindset of getting an easy roi or earning fast from their investment. Maybe they are just unlucky to start at high price and the market falls down the following week. My advise for them is to stop complaining and learn how the market works. Just hold your cryptos because they will always come back soon.
In fact they come the join the bitcoin world because they have heard stories about the profit that people have already got from bitcoin, I think that those new investors who have recently joined or invested money in bitcoin, I think that they are the luckiest people, because bitcoin rice is already trading too much low and we are not expecting any more decrease in bitcoin price.
53  Economy / Economics / Re: Will countries or central banks create their own cryptocurrency? on: September 03, 2018, 08:22:58 AM

A few countries and central banks have been talking about “digital currency”, and most of them are carefully ignoring the term “crypto”. Fact is- digital currency is not the same as cryptocurrency. These countries/central banks are recognizing the benefits of the digital currency features of cryptocurrency, but they don’t want any of the decentralized uncertainties that come with blockchain-based currencies.
Will countries or central banks create their own cryptocurrency?

We are already seeing that, the government of Venezuela has created their own cryptocurrency, many people can see that this is just an effort to try to get money to try to keep the government running for as long as possible but even if that is the case it's important to see how the experiment of Venezuela turns out so we can learn from it in the future.
If it is true then no doubt that it will have a very good experience and I hope that it will surely bring  a very positive effect on their economic condition. I think that if they will get a good response I hope that other countries will also follow them.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much time do you spend on bounty campaigns? on: August 30, 2018, 07:59:37 AM
How much time do you spend on bounty campaigns?

Is it worth doing bounty campaigns?

How much can you make from one bounty campaigns?


Most of my time, I do bounty - this is to maximize every opportunity of having a huge amount of bounties. Thus, I joined several of it and sometimes earn a large amount of it. It is worth doing cause it gave me large earnings if it is properly chosen bounty. However, this I only made in order to maximize better coins that would be tradable within a short period of time. Thus, you must choose bounty that would be realizable and would also possible of generating inflows other than a waste of time.
Sometime after the completing of the ICO if the project become succeeded it can really give you a very good profit. Some time we even get such a big reward that we never expect. So it is good to work hard and maximize our chances of getting a good profit from bounties.
55  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trading on: June 12, 2018, 10:48:19 AM
do someone know how to trade and get the most profit maybe some skillz of trading or which are the best coins for to trade and their own best daily best changes flaquations up and downs which could it be maybe all about best profit ways to get on a trade ....
Trading is not easy. It needs experience, knowledge and skills to do good trading. If you learn these things then trading is easy than holding. In holding you will have to wait for long time to make some money while in trading you can make money daily. For good trading you will to observe the market every moment and when the price moves up a little you can sell your coins for higher price.
56  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the useful tips for beginners? on: June 12, 2018, 10:15:18 AM
the books provided in this thread is very much useful for a beginner thank u for providing book names
Year you are right but I think that practical experience is much better than books, otherwise there are thousands of videos on crypto investment for beginners on YouTube. You can search and it is more helpful than books. In this day people have no time to study books, but looking videos is easy. For me practical experience is necessary than any other source.
57  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how often do you check BTC price and how to cope with stress? on: June 12, 2018, 09:47:14 AM
I usually check btc price once or twice daily. It is very stressful to check bitcoin price often. I avoid checking btc price, as it is not required.
I check the price once a day and sometimes late at night. Because in the morning I calculate the profit and loss in my investment and sometimes at night. If you have invested for long time there is no need to check the price daily or many times in a single day because by this way you will increase your headache and nothing else. Leaving for some time is good to cope with stress.
58  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling Versus Traditional Gambling on: June 12, 2018, 08:15:37 AM
What are the differences between online and traditional gambling ? Which you like the most and why ? In my opinion both the types of gambling have got their own advantages and disadvantages. You can try both for some time and then choose one based on your convenience.
I still prefer traditional gambling,even that online gambling is very conventional and accessible yet the feeling of enjoyment is different from traditional gambling because you can feel the actual chances of winning or losing,and you can look into your opponents eyes so the chance of seeing their feelings or heartbeats is indeed
I agree that traditional gambling is better when you play gamble. But you can get addicted because you cant control yourself sometimes. Because you can really experience the real actual how to gamble or how do you play it. You also experience so much fun rather than on online gambling. On online gambling you can think well and no one disturb you. I think there's nothing difference between them because you will get both addicted.
Traditional gambling is more preferable than online gambling because when gambling was introduced, it was introduced traditionally not online. It’s same like we have both online games as well as physical games but we have much more fun when we play games physically rather than to play them online. Instead we become more stressed and frustrated facing the same scenario online every time.
For me I would prefer to online gambling because I think that real fun and gambling competition is in traditional casinos and not in online casino. Online is just for gambling, lose or win money and there is no fun. I think that one should not gamble for making money but for fun also. That’s why I also visit regular casinos and play traditional gambling.
59  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which coin do you think is best for gambling? on: June 12, 2018, 07:47:52 AM
I will still prefer bitcoin for gambling. There a lot of gambling sites that were accepting bitcoin. Most of them prefer bitcoin actually. There are some sites that only accept their own coin for gambling. I can always convert my bitcoin to their coin so I can gamble on their site. Its like having a universal money for gambling. Bitcoin makes the payment convenient and you will not be stucked on just a few gambling sites. Ethereum is also a good alternative if you don't have bitcoin.
You are right bitcoin is the best option for online gambling and if you are fond of traditional gambling, you can also use your bitcoin in some casinos. I think that bitcoin investment should only for making more and more money and not for using in gambling because if you lose, you will also lose your business and it is not sensible. Better not to gamble online.
60  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your first betting? on: June 12, 2018, 07:20:24 AM
my first time playing gambling is a card game, that is samgong. I did not win then, only I did epic comeback. after losing early in the match, I managed to pull it all back.
My first betting was on cricket match. I bet with my friend and the price was too little because we both were not regular gamblers and that time we were students and just have pocket money. I won the bet and was very happy to win the first bet ever in my life. Although I never again because I know the results of gambling. Gambler has no respect in society and in his family as well.

My first betting was on sports and I was happy because I won the bet. The amount was very less but I have won it. I was very happy because that was the very bet of my life. I never gambled after that because I am fully aware of the bad results of regular gambling. I think that gambling should be for fun and not for greed of money otherwise it will ruin your life.
