   Look op, judging by your rank, i think that you have also been here for quite some time also. And if i am not mistaken, you should've already read a lot about not just bitcoins but also about most crypto currencies existing. And i honestly think that someone like you have at least looked at the history of cryptos at least once or twice on how they move every month of every year. Which is why i do not understand the reason for your worries. I mean, don't you see that this corrections are healthy for the world of crypto as a whole?

Unless, you can show things that prove your claim, i really wouldn't be worried. Instead, i would be happy since this is a great opportunity to invest amd gain more profits. Just sayin'.

I dont think op did the research in the movement of cryptocurrency in the past years. As what i have seen is history repeating itself, having a dip in the first month of the year then rise in later part of the year. Though op has a point in his post but it did not justify on how banks manipulate the price of cryptos. To take control over it they need to buy a lot of coins and not just bitcoin to manipulate cryptocurrency.
I agree with you mate, If the op show off enough proof of evidence about the issue, then there's a possibility that it might be true but if nothing It seems will belong to speculation. Anyway, since bitcoin or cryptocurrency decentralized nobody can control it, even a government.

Yes, of course, social media contribute a lot in so many different ways in boosting bitcoin price to another level. I used to saw many people posting about bitcoin without knowing anything about bitcoin. they just were how bitcoin price was booming, so interesting, and that is why they like bitcoin. 

Definitely true. If there is one thing that influenced bitcoins growth most and it is the social media. from kids to old generation almost everybody is using social media. so by reaching huge number of people, social media influenced a lot of people to attract to bitcoin and other crypto currencies.
I agree with you mate, because of social media crypto currency was spreading in the world of new era which is through internet bitcoin will be more popular such as facebook, Twitter and many more. Through Bounty campaign and socia media campaign is one of the evidence that bitcoin is exist since 2009 till now.

After a month of hard work I have to pay quite a lot of things. I just got one about 200$ to invest in bitcoin. Should or should not. Please help me !  Lips sealed
I think in that date you made the topic here in marketplace section is also the time you started to invest in bitcoin or let we say holding it. I think your $200 will make double nowadays or will be more than of that if you have more patience to wait because later on bitcoin will rise in a day, weeks, months and in a  year pass by. Just think positive.
464  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin versus other offline currencies on: January 13, 2018, 11:14:51 PM
Bitcoin has plenty of room for improvement in the blockchain, gold and other currencies. The advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin come from the Internet, which makes it easier to trade, but on the other hand, intangible, digital cryptocurrency! Some other currency, gold means that you can see it with my own eyes, and his hands to keep it, that's why many people still don't like COINS, because they want to is a tangible asset!
The thing which is healing bitcoin to have some priority over all other regular currencies is the involvement of internet in regulating not only bitcoin but any other crypto coin.

In the modern and technical world, internet is really an important thing and it is really a good idea and this is why bitcoin is gaining this much of fame. Moreover, the increase in the market value of bitcoin in quite noticeable thing.
I agree, In this time of a new era, bitcoin is one of the fame of improving technology, which we can consider an asset  because of its potential to give us financial freedom and possible to make us rich if we have a courage to pursue doing bitcoin activities here in bitcoin forum.
465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I always lose all my tokens and btc on gambling~ on: January 12, 2018, 10:38:54 PM
I guess, gambling is not actually for me.
I kinda feel bad on all the tokens wasted on gambling but it's kinda my "when I'm bored" hobby.
Do you guys have any tips on how to not to lose all you tokens on gambling?

If you don't want to lose all your tokens in gambling then it is better for you to give up gambling. It is the only thing that you can do to avoid losing all your tokens. If I were you I will focus in trading than gambling. But if you want to seek enjoyment then gambling is a good thing.

you got the point sir and it is true. for people which always lose the money especially the tokens and the bitcoin on gambling, it isearch tter to quit as soon as you can because you don't have any chance to win even for small money. it is better to do trade and I am sure that you have a big chance to increase your profit. you don't know when the luck has comes so you don't have any clue on gambling but on trading, I think you have any clues that will help you to make a profit.
All these things depend on your luck and when a person become addicted then he find it very hard to quit. I think it is better for them to change their strategies instead of quiting for ever. Trading is not such an easy job, trading require a proper education and knowledge, experience also matter in trading, having no experience in trading can cause a lot of loses.
You are right,  but we can avoid that kind of scenario, if we study first about trading through search it deeply then, if we gathered enough knowledge about it, we can able to proceed in day trading. But one more thing, patience is a must.
466  Economy / Economics / Re: 2017 Was Bitcoin's Year. 2018 Will Be ....... on: January 11, 2018, 10:05:36 AM
I think bitcoin still most famous crypto currency among other coins which is continue keep on rising as the time passes. Even its struggle some accusation of changing its value day by day that we call volatile, it is still being a king that no one can replace it's  position, so therefore I conclude every year is the year of bitcoin.
467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a currency or asset? on: January 10, 2018, 10:25:45 PM
Bitcoin's a CRYPTOCURRENCY so technically it is a currency, right? But we can consider it as an ASSET as well! holding bitcoin is like investing a real currency from a bank. But compared to investing a real currency from a bank, the stakes are high! But I tell you this, the gain in the future is way higher than the stake. We all know how bitcoin dominated the field where it's in, right? Bitcoin won't go down easily. So I think investing in it would be great, just like in real world.
I really agree with your statement mate, therefore bitcoin is both currency and an asset, it is a currency in the form of digital that we can convert into fiat or used this as mode of payment through online payment bills. Bitcoin is an asset that if we hold it for a long-term the more profits we could earn because as the time passes, bitcoin will be the more expensive, I mean the more value to rise.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your first betting? on: January 09, 2018, 10:25:09 PM
I made my first bet on directbet.eu on a T20 cricket match between India and South Africa, I was lucky enough that i won the bet and doubled my coins. As per me, directbet was the best site for sports betting.
I am very glad that you won some extra coins from this gambling site because I want to see people happy but I would advise you not to use that website until or unless the next match doesn’t comes to which you are fully aware that which team would be better and winning the game.

If you will do the same and will lose some bigger amount from which you have won last time, you would hate this site more than any other thing.
There are really chances for that to happen which is normal. If we won a bet and then using it again on next game will really not assure us to win and might really cause frustrations but well we do have different decision into different matters since its our money then we can do whenever we wanted. First betting wins would really somehow boost up our eagerness to play gambling even more.
I agree, It's up to us whether we like it to continue or not as long as it's our own decisions. It is full of excitement when you had your  first betting and got in an instant winning at gambling. We cannot deny ourselves encourage to continue gamble because it's rare case that you win on your first bet, so I grab the opportunity and let myself being gamble until I get satisfied.
469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why people are sharing tips? on: January 07, 2018, 02:40:40 PM
Well to some people it is because they want help other people to make some money for them self's and they derived joy in doing so. And most a time they are accurate in their predictions, so it is a way of helping other people particularly beginners.
Helping others is the main cause of sharing tips. Like you have said, there is majority of people who always think that yes this sharing can help them grow their own skills and they can polish themselves by sharing there experience with others and making better improvement. But then comes the legends who are always up for helping people because they want to make a difference in society.

You have a point in that, but for me, why some people are sharing tips because they are aiming to help those people that doesn't really have a strategy in order to survive in gambling. But aside from that, why they still keep sharing tips, especially for a newbie because they also promoting the gambling site which they might have paid in secrets.
470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: January 07, 2018, 02:18:20 PM
Yes of course, experience matters a whole lot in general because through experience we learn.  We learn from our mistakes or successes from experiencing an activity even such as gambling.  Experience doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with winning in gambling though because I believe that in gambling what you need most is luck.  An an experienced gambler, one might know better how you deal with losses, know when to walk away, know there’s always tomorrow etc.

I agree a lot. In all times, in whatever scenario in life, experience is very important. Even though gambling depends on luck most of the time, it also requires strategy sometimes. Besides, gamblers who win mostly are those who have been in gambling for a long time now. They may be able to study and observe how there winning or losing opponent’s eyes looks like that’s why they know when to stop or decide to “go and play more!”.
I think, even how many years have been the gambler experience in gambling or let we say expert in it. I don't still believe that he can always win for every gamble he does because all I know in gambling is about losing and like what you have said it is also all about luck that could make you win whatever kind of a gamble it is.
471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: January 07, 2018, 01:51:32 PM
It seems that experts say that Bitcoin 'Here to Stay,' But Banks Could Disappear.


"TheStreet: How do you think FinTech will impact the way banks operate?

Frank Schwab: Banks either react on, or they will disappear. Anyway, the consolidation of the banking industry accelerates as the behaviour of people changes. Some banks will benefit from [FinTech], some will be pushed to the back end, and some will disappear."
http://www.thestreet.com/story/13419089/1/bitcoin-here-to-stay-but-banks-could-disappear-says-fintech-expert.html

What's your read on that?



I don't think banks will disappear and we should not be hoping that as well, we may see banks adapting to the blockchain technology in future and bitcoin being used as an alternative currency (not the only and mandatory). this way the balance will be maintained in the economy.
It is really impossible to be happen that bank will disappear because of bitcoin, coz the aim of the existence of bitcoin is to help those people want their transaction to be private that we call peer to peer, which bank can't able to provide it.
472  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people says gold is better? on: January 05, 2018, 08:10:14 AM
Actually today I watched a video on facebook which is about spending bitcoin and gold in USA,it says it is difficult to spend bitcoin but some places are accepting bitcoins accepting as payment like supermarket,restaurants and some institutions.But no one accepting gold as payment then why still people says gold is better?

The answer is very obvious, Gold is not a currency, It is an asset. Gold is not obtainable everywhere , Only those who are working to mine gold are able to earn it while bitcoins can be earned online and it is very profitable since it is a digital currency, You can hold and exchange it anytime to fiat when the value in the market already increase.

You are quite right about Gold that it just being an asset that form of physical which not meant to use to increase our investment and not capable to pay directly into a restaurant or any store. But if I were the owner of a store or any restaurant and somebody paying me a gold, I  accept  it with no doubt because  I fully know gold has a good value which you can able to sell it anytime and it might be have more valuable the more years passed.

Those people find gold more trusted against bitcoin, that's why they say gold is better. But they forget one point which gold doesn't generate profits like bitcoin does. This is an important point not to miss!
I agree,  but if you compare it now bitcoin is more profitable than gold, but like what you said gold can't generate profits like bitcoin does mean to say gold is much important if you just compare it which will can long last ever. Because even though bitcoin is really high demand that's really you get quick some profit we can still assure when it can be last that's why I'm still prefer for gold.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: January 04, 2018, 02:24:10 PM
Sometimes if you gamble and win, you can have extra money for the things you want because for me all my needs, i dont rely source from gambling, it should be prepared from your regular means of living, therefore if i win in gambling its all extras, all for luxury or either i can put to investmemt😃
Sometimes , but when you look at people around they are suffering huge loss mostly.
So your winning might only for temporary and the rest of it always become a nightmare , you get back to zero or even worse.
That is the clear circle in gambling , you do won 1 btc but then lost it in the next day worth 1.5 bitcoin and so on, you guys should wake up .

No one can judge gambling is a good or bad thing because in sometimes it is very useful for our urgent needs but in sometime it gives only loss and tension for us,so gambling with intelligence and experience is a good thing for a gambler.
Just look at the bigger picture , what effect mostly you received by the end of your gambling days.
As i said when you get a good moment it won't last forever , bad things always come after it.
Your life will even better when there is no gambling experience at all.
Correct! If there's  no gambling habit in yourself then its a peaceful way of living. But if you want your life to be miserable well try to gamble all day (lol) until you realized what is really the bad effect in your life when you're a gambler and getting addicted of it.
People always gamble with a purpose to make it profitable , and that's sounds like not realistic.
Yeaaa because of the -EV gambling never be considered as a good way to make money no matter what.
In the end there's no helpful thing when it comes to gambling , all of the good things in gambling just like what other people claims is only an excuses.
It's still realistic to gamble for profitable goals, it's just very difficult to get profit from gambling. There is nothing wrong when expecting profit from gambling, only we should be self-control, do not expect too much because it's too hard, just normal expectation.
 

Difficult near to impossible which means for me not realistic lol.
If you gamble for entertainment and did not expect a single penny profit , then you are in the next level of gambling, that's a good thing.
Believe it or not gambling never provide anyone profit in the long run , they are all gone broke , otherwise get nothing but regret, nothing helpful.
I also agree with you. I have the same opinion as you are having. Playing gambling just to seek fun or to try something new in your life is not the thing which is opposed by the people who loved you because it will not put you in deep troubles as most of the gamblers are facing during their gambling life.

I am very shocked from people opinion who think that gambling can give you a long term profit and it is the thing which can help you with your daily life.
Indeed, many people saying this that gambling is just making you fun and get entertained by it, but whoever saying this reason is those people who are not totally called a gambler or let we say addicted to gambling. Because a real gambler is doing gamble for the purpose of seeking a quick profit, but sad to say it's an opposite result which they getting more losses rather than beating a game and in the last they'll regret.
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what impact has gambling make in your life? on: January 04, 2018, 01:58:33 PM
Gambling tought me lots of things. Patience is one of those things. If you're a good gambler, you're defently patient. You need to be wise and know when to make the move.
Gambling tought me how to manage my money too. As a gambler, i learned to manage my money to know how much i won and how much i lost. That's the most important thing i learned.
That's good actually if you can learn something like a patience and discipline from gambling, I just doubt a lot of people can do that smoothly, there's too much pressure when you are in the game and full of regrets at the end of the game , make things in gambling for me have more bad sides impact instead the good one.
At the beginning I can say that gambling has a bad impact into my life and that is because I was greedy enough to think that I can easily make money in gambling, but in the long run I matured because I learned from my experience, I open my mind and now sees my chances of winning.
My chances of winning is very low, therefore seeking for money is not a good way to treat gambling, now I only do gambling for entertainment.
Yes eventually our perception about gambling may change when we were young and it differs when we matured.The first time i thought about gambling is the fact that its illegal.Now i see the good thing about gambling especially in times where i have to spend my leisure time.I don't usually gamble but in times i need to be entertained and to have fun,i just go for it.But i make sure that i have set my limitations and take control over my emotions before going into gambling.
Well, If that attitude you're showing for in gambling then you very far from being addicted to it which most of some gambler that being addicted to gambling are getting drawn of debts and credits and even people that they had owed. Because they were out control of their self that seems it were their last moment of their life to gamble and seeking for getting back of their losses in gambling.

476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: December 28, 2017, 11:41:43 AM
Actually with or without gambling, everyone has to work hard to earn money. Because I think gambling is not for basic income, gambling can give you money, but it's just for your extra income. You can not make gambling a primary source of your income because it will not work. So I do not think your statements are pinned.
I agree with that especially when I try to work, I think about my hourly pay and if it's worth it or not. Something like that because I don't want to do something I cannot earn on except if it's my hobby like playing games. Gambling has been a part of humanity since the start of us living here. Records show that there is a date, but we can't be really sure right? Gambling is fun.

I agree on your perception dude, the gambling was already here in our land before we live in this planet earth. As most people doing, gambling is just for pastime and just for fun which most of us didn't take seriously that we just try our luck if we could win that particular amount. Somehow, some people become addicted in gambling as become their life having an income and if they are not successful there financial aspects gets ruin and in the worst case they commit a crime due to greediness. Thus, in order to have a permanent income ,a regular job is important to sustain a financial support though even if  its not as high amount the important is permanent.
477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Most peoples who bash on bitcoin are just mad on: December 28, 2017, 05:54:10 AM
A lot of reasons, and one of those  was maybe they were already victim of a scam and use bitcoin as an instrument for that scam that is why they are already traumatized whenever they heard bitcoin in their life. Just understand them let them shout out what their feeling is so they can cope the hurt it was done to them.

You're right bro, we can't even force them if they didn't believed on bitcoin just they always think that this is a scam. A lot of my co workers didn't believed in bitcoin as they think most here in social media is not true and probably all of this is involved of evil creatures and we are part of this cult. I just let them judged us since many of us part in bitcoin community, I'm trying to argue on them because they don't know about what bitcoin is really about until such time its getting worst and conflict on each other. Now, since many of us being part of this bitcoin community and some of my friends having a huge amount of there rewards after the campaign, well those people didn't believed are nothing to say as they are so judgmental before.
478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin be more profitable in the upcoming years? on: December 28, 2017, 03:05:32 AM
On my own point of view as I referred on its previous years record, definitely bitcoin is still profitable which gives tremendous performance on this year. As of this moment I invest on my own money to bitcoin as I believed that it will give more profit in the future. Also, the performance of bitcoin is already proven on the previous years though it will fall for a while but it will back to its stabilized value which makes all investors as well as users inspired to invest as the value of bitcoin grows rapidly for just short period of time.
479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as payment system on: December 28, 2017, 01:55:58 AM
Yes, it can be possible to happen. It's good that there are countries already that accept bitcoin as a payment because the charge that is putted there is not big however i think that the there are countries that won't agree the idea of using bitcoin as a payment system. So as long as there are countries that disagree with this idea bitcoin will stay as it is.

You're right bro,  some countries already implemented bitcoin as their mode of payments which makes them comfortable and easier via online transaction. I also, experienced that kind of transaction though here in my country doesn't yet any bitcoin transaction. I just used coins.ph apps having two currency peso and bitcoin which can exchange vice versa but exchanged to btc will have a corresponding fee. Having this apps I can buy load , paying for water and electric bill. This is a good start for having this kind of transaction that makes us easier and comfortable to used that you don't need to go in line just to pay your bills.
480  Economy / Speculation / Re: I'm still confused? on: December 28, 2017, 12:48:00 AM
Being confused is normal, even the experts still they confused but as long as you will asked and research all doubts on your mind until such time will be satisfied that you have an idea on the answer you've been looking for. I would say most of the time I confused during I was a newbie here in bitcoin forum but after several months my knowledge getting better though their might some doubts but after several time I can know little by little, by asking  on my friend who already have knowledge about this job and I'm so thankful to them that I become part on this earning money to support my financial aspects.
