Do you pay directly to the Starbucks itself or does it go through a third party? Do they(Starbucks) actually verify your transaction, or is it still done by the regular network? I like the idea, I'm just a little confused. Seems like it might be a little unsafe too.

There's nothing to be confused of, you can pay directly to them, we don't need a third party or an escrow there? When you pay for your groceries you just need to go to the cashier to pay right? It is the same, though there are differences, on paying bitcoin directly, there are also verification of the transaction, though it is very fast and simple All you got to do is open your wallet, the cashier will be letting out their QR code on how much will you pay, you will scan it, and send your payment from your bitcoin address, that quick.

I dont think that bitcoin will ever be replaced by other cryptocurrency because bitcoin is the original and root of all the other cryptocurrency. Without bitcoin, there will be no other altcoins, they will never think or create another cryptocurrency. They are just fmaking altcoins, because there are some points that they do not like on bitcoin, it is like covering up the the flaws of bitcoin then making them a new name.
4743  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is bitcoin worth? Welcome to discuss on: April 07, 2017, 08:04:25 AM
I think the value that they are talking about is different from the value that you know. Value meaning the prize or the worth of something is what you are thinking, but the value that they are talking about is the value, the importance of something to them. And I think that the people that said that to you, do not use bitcoin or barely know bitcoin and just saying something or telling you something based on what he had read or viewed or saw on the internet. I don't really care about these people that say things about bitcoin, but do not use bitcoin. You can't bark if you are a cat, if you know what i mean.

Bitcoin is not good or bad it depends in the users who uses it for good or evil.
Dont blame an innocent virtual currency to the cruelty of human beings
Many people will take advantage of bitcoin's decentralized and anonymous feature but bitcoin can be freely use by anyone even if you're good or bad.

 That is right, bitcoin is just a virtual currency and it is not good or bad but depends on how the users use it. We humans are the one making that digital currency tainted in black but it is inevitable. It is been predicted to be used in such activities and we can't do anything about it because it is really ideal for making such illegal transactions. Satoshi Nakamoto created these digital currency so that we can have freedom about our money and send it efficiently throughout the world. And if Satoshi Nakamoto knew that they are using it wrong, he will be very dissapointed with it.
4745  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi reveals himself, what would be of Bitcoin? on: April 07, 2017, 02:51:55 AM
I dont think that it will be a big matter because not all oc the users are really curious about him, I think they will be more curious how did he think of it or made bitcoin. As a user I dont really care when the true Satoshi Nakamoto enters the stage and tell the people that he dicovered it, it is not that I dont love his work, I am more focused on what he discovered, than him, I really idolize him making such discovery and thank him eternally for making our lives really efficient.

I think these will be great, I mean really great, and I think we dont need to use private keys because we can use our thumb mark as our private key, right? what do you think? everytime you pay your client or costumer you will just give out your finger and mark so it can be sent. As we all know bitcoin is the most innovative currency and it also need some innovative security, these is really great, I think someone has been implementing these now.
4747  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The danger of the cyptocurrencies on: April 07, 2017, 02:15:00 AM
I think removing the fiat and using crypto currencies are not a news, but more on speculation by some geek or socialist or economist that is looking forward to the future of bitcoin. Removing the fiat is really ridiculous, as you can see bitcoins are still converted to real money because bitcoin is not really known by many stores and they dont like its volatility. They are scared that bitcoin may end up making them really broke because of the unpredictable price. These is really far from happening because the government know what is these digital currency and what harm can it bring to its people.
4748  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin be used to support terrorists? on: April 07, 2017, 02:03:51 AM
Is this true? I think it is still not certain. But there is a possibility that they will use these bitcoin to send them because bitcoin can be sent not knowing who sent it and what will be doing with it, even who is the reciever of it. Even in my newbie days here I am also thinking that these can be done by people, though I don't think that it can be really used these efficiently by these terrorist. With these, terrorist can convert bitcoin and earn money, buy guns and other things that they can use to overthrow the government and hurt the people under it, that is really miserable.
4749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: April 07, 2017, 01:26:13 AM
I think this maybe true because bitcoin is now not things of the past it is now advanced.
And it is not hard in terms of some difficulties one can received in bank issues.
When once one follow due process in opening bit coin wallet there no problem and the services of bitcoi n is fast.
So even now bitcoin is dominating the bank.

That is really ridiculous, bitcoin, a digital currency can't make banks dissapear, how.can these digital currencies remove banks on the job? And besides, bitcoin is just a digital currency, a secondary currency, which means money is still used even in the near future. Banks are for money, that is why bitcoin can't affect banks no matter what. I think if it will be affecting banks, it can be for greater good because it can implement the system banks now are using.
4750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: April 06, 2017, 08:59:27 PM
for some people may be addicted to is the most fun because they can always have fun with a game even though they know the risks of the game.

We should accept gambling is a way of addiction. It is depend on ourself where we go, many time we want money and money and our greediness give us a way of addiction from gambling, and as you think some people like full of fun than they choose a way of fun addiction from gambling. But for me, i accept and realize gambling is a addiction, So i don't like addicted of anything, that's why i control my all greedy and fun feeling and only enjoy to play gambling not addiction wise. 

Addiction is fun, that's what keeps pumping encourages us to continue to face the challenge, I'm not talking about losing money in gambling, I am happy if compare with food addiction or addiction associated with our spouses. Addiction would feel bad if every game they have in mind is to restore the lost nominal continuously, people like this have to immediately go on holiday to normalize his mind, and come back without thinking of the previous losses.

I think it's human greed and always wanting more then you have. This is why people are never happy with their winnings and keep going till they lose everything. Then it becomes an addiction that can become relentless and out of control. It also depends on each person. Some people wouldn't ever gamble untill one day they happen to try for some reason or another and get hooked. I also think that when people want to win their money back they end up losing more.

There isn't problem to be a gambling addicted if you are having profit from it. There are gamblers playing all day long or many hours daily having some nice profit that they can use to live with much confort. The problem starts when the gamblers lose money even more and don't stop gambling.
Good gamblers know when to stop and until where to go to don't compromise the monthly income.

As long as you are getting a good fortune or maybe you are having fun with it, we can't do nothing about it. But I think that is the problem, many people are having a lot of misconceptions when you say gamblers are addicted to gambling because they are earning some profit from it. There are a lot of ways to do these but do you think that will be your job forever? Do you still want to be on the same bench, same place everytime? How about when all of your friends gathered in a party and ask you what do you do for a living, you will answer gambling?

I think there is nothing wrong making gambling a source of income, but we know guys we can do better than that, we are being comfortable on what you are doing, and besides, noone really wins a lot of money on gambling. They may win one time,  but lets not leave the fact that he lost everytime.
4751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: April 06, 2017, 06:44:53 PM
I don't think you can really tell. Even if they fair they might not pay out a big win. It's best to go with gambling sites with a good reputation. This is not to say never give a new site a chance. Just don't spend big money at a new site. If you a high roller take it to a reputable casino.

You may have a point there, but the thing about it is that, gamblers always want to taste or experience something new. They don't just do the same game everyday, they need to change gears sometimes, and that is a given, every gambler that wants to try a new site will never bet big on a new gambling site. Even I am not a good gambler, I can't just stake my own money, on a gambling site, without that experience, new business and still, on the way to prove its legitimacy. Gamblers, don't take words of the casino, but they take it when they do better services, just be smart and gamble smartly.
4752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is definition gambling in your mind? on: April 06, 2017, 06:36:52 PM
gambling is my job, there is no better job than gambling, if we focus with any degree of difficulty is in fact nothing is impossible to master, it will be very much find-game losing streak at one time, but no matter because experience is the best thing in our lives.
That's cool, maybe you could give us a tip or two because most of us are only gambling for fun.

Yes. If he made it his job then he might be really good with.
I see myself on the losing side as always. I even thought that it is not fair at all.
Maybe they just said itbis provably fair.
Losing a streak is not so cool and I lost a lot of money. It aint fun no more thatvis why I decided to lessen playing it.
Give us some tips please.

Yes, I think he is really good with it and I think, he will not let any of his ways to earn on gambling spread unto public, he wants to do it alone, and earn the same way everyday alone, so we might leave him alone too, Good Luck with your job. Gambling is a game of chance, it is not fair, how can a game of chance be fair, and when they say it is a provably fair, that is not the same as fair, but more close to being fair so the gamblers will be attracted to gamble on that site.
4753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: April 06, 2017, 06:20:44 PM
trying to recover your lost are a bad idea , never seen someone who make it happen successfully. but people keep coming back to do it however , addiction are the reason why. your brain has been infected , so it is hard to explain actually , people just want to do it.

almost for no reason , but yes that is gambling , always work with that way.

People are coming back to get some money, wether they want it or not however when there is a chance to win some money especially with a low amount then wouldnt you take it for no reason? Obviously you would however the sad thing is that people just dont understand that as long as it is EV- they are going to lose nevertheless
yes the problem people can not fully understand what the result will be when they gamble in the long run against the house edge games which it is negative expected value and irrational , sometimes you have to think that take a risk in gambling are not worth because of this reason.

it is all too late when you have get addicted , you will do everything to gamble in the end.

It does not take an hour to really know about this stuff. You can totally understand it in just 15 minutes or so , use google and you can find everything that you dont understand in internet. It is a matter of wether someone want to know or not, they keep thinking that everything is just so random and pre-determined therefore such things dont exist
and yes the problem are people don't want to know about that fact.

they prefer to believe on that gambling are about 2 sides , win or lost , odd or even etc . which they think they can take a benefit on it by gamble in the long run and wish for the luck , where actually it is all about math , and you won't win against any games in gambling.

I dont think that they are believing on such two things, there are three, it is  not just win or lost, there are also draw, which is a really dissapointing one. As a gambler we all know that the long we gamble, we get experience and most of these experience is self control. They can control their selves to bet unto something or don't bet unto something because they know that the result is really unpredictable like on sports betting, but I did not say that they can predict the game, but because of their analization. Gambling is also a math, yes that is right, the more reason that they can win a lot of games. There are a lot of mathematician in our world and some of them are genius gamblers. You cant say that they can't win.
4754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: April 06, 2017, 02:04:47 PM
I don't find it shameful when I gamble but I do feel shameful when I can't stop when I'm winning and end up losing it all. I feel shameful for my lack of self control and not as a gambler Tongue
That's our greediness who's controlling us, there is no room for gamblers who cannot control themselves and gambling will just ruin their life. Gambling is fun but it's the riskiest kind of fun, so we need to learn how to minimize that risk and always keep on the safe side. When we gamble it's important to stick with our budget to lose and target to win.

That is greediness, that is right, I agree with that, but saying that there are no room for gamblers who cannot control themselves are very wrong.A lot of gamblers gamble everyday without plan and clue on what will happen when they lose or win. And as a human, we had such natural instinct, we are getting greedy and that is the reason we must not gamble because gambling is one of the main roots of one of the 7 sin.
4755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is definition gambling in your mind? on: April 06, 2017, 01:54:25 PM
They all are wrong in my view. I would rather consider it as a passion or lust. Passion cause I just can't stop doing it I need to play to keep my self calm, loose or win is fine till the time I can afford to play. I love playing it and it's fun for me. Lust cause like how people fall in love I have fallen in love with the trill of gambling. The day people adopt this definitions, is the day they shall truly enjoy the game.

I think you are the one being mistaken here, passion is not really what you have said, passion is an emotion, an uncontrollable emotion and a strong one, that means even if you are on whatever emotion, you will gamble because that is your passion, even if you cant afford gambling, you will still gamble because that is your passion. Now, lust is a strong, a very strong sexual desire, that means you want to drill gambling with your stick no matter what, that is wrong to describe gambling.

If you are gambling to keep yourself calm and play as long as you can afford, that may be called hobby, not a passion, If you fall inlove with the thrill of gambling then that is excitement, you are being adventurous, risking something to gain more.
4756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Win using martingale system? on: April 06, 2017, 01:42:32 PM
Well to win in a martingale system you just need to play in a short time. It is effective because i am doing this and i seldom lose. I just play for a short period of time and when i doubled my money i just stopped playing. You also need a big bankroll so that you'll be able handle lots of reds streak.
Yeaaa i believe it might work , but when you do it regularly i don't think it could work anymore.
Gambling with that kind high risk strategy always hard near impossible to make it profitable.
Keep doubling your bet amount is not the answer to win in gambling.
Doubling your money with martingale would be risky in my own view because it would really requires time for you to able to reach that amount.You cant achieve that for a short period of time which means you would need to use it for too long.It might work for sometime but not all the time and its a wise move that using it and leaving in profits should be maintained.
I believed that martingale method is super risky and not profitable for me. You should need a big bankroll to play this method to earn and get profit, but the bad thing you should always remeber is when you streak 10x reds. In this you cannot now recover all your lose unless you have a big bankroll to play again

That is why if you are a gambler and you want to win using martingale system, you need to have a lot of money or big bankroll so you can have a profit or some win. Without a big bankroll is really hard because you cant maximize your bet and your strategy, which is the martingale system. If you want to use martingale system, don't do it when you have a small bankroll, and while you are on it, ypu can try increasing the odds so you can win more. But don't be always greedy, small profit is always better than big loss.
4757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: bitcoin dice casinos. Is it profitable to have such casino? on: April 06, 2017, 10:25:46 AM
Owning a gambling site is really profittable, the fact that there are a lot of gambling casinos or sites that is being made or published is one way to say that dice sites are really proffitable. Though I think it depends on how you handle your dice site. There are a lot of gamblers that like their own uniqueness from the other dice sites, like faucets, cash back and bonuses. If you can make a good dice site and you can make many gamblers attracted to it, i think you can say that it is a successful site.
4758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: April 06, 2017, 09:53:56 AM
If gambling is not a sin, why do they call Las Vegas the Sin City? Considering Las Vegas holds the largest number of Casinos located in a single city.

It is not that gambling is a sin, and calling a City, into a Sin City has its own reason, Sin City is an urban that caters to various vices, various means there are many things that is going out there and not just gambling is the reason why it is called the Sin City, the vices are, sex related services, including prostitution and strip clubs, Gambling, Drugs, and excessive organize crime and gangs activity. There are a lot of Sin Cities in the world and not all of them, includes gambling on it, that is why it is not really a sin to gamble. Excessive gambling activity is really not good to a ckuntry and it's  people.
I know, they call them Sin Cities because you can't just get out without doing a single sin – according to the Bible (the temptations, which those cities have, that almost no one can resist). So aren't all these vices considered sins? Or Gambling is excluded?

Not all of the vices that you can do on the Sin City is not particularly a sin, but it is an addiction. Prostitution is not a sin, lust though, is a sin, gambling is not a sin, but greed is. Drinking is not also a sin, but gluttony is a sin. Having or involving on Criminal or illegal activities are not a sin, though wrath is a sin. Not all of them are really sin, but it depends on how you do and look at it.
4759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: April 06, 2017, 02:35:24 AM
if i win big money from gambling most would I invest , still playing gambling,  happy fun and enjoy in life
every win not withdraw still playing i think you can never enjoy profit from youre gambling, because can lost again if without wihdraw every win


That is a good thing, most of the gamblers will be saying, if I won almost double of my bankroll, I will be gambling again to triple that profit.l, which is really wrong. I think we can gamble but we must really make good decisions with it. We can make gambling as a stepping stone to make us a successful business man or an entrepreneur or a successful trader, Of I will be gambling and I won double my bank roll, I will be using it to trade and invest in some projects.

I just play for a short period of time and when i doubled my money i just stopped playing. You also need a big bankroll so that you'll be able handle lots of reds streak.

There are also a lot of tutorial in the internet about these matters, you can search for some videos on youtube or you can search it on google, the point is, I dont really know if it is really how the system works, I have been using these type of strategy but I dont use my money, I just use faucet coins which is really a small amount, I am winning sometime, 200 satoshis to .00001 bitcoin, after that, I will receive a lot of red streaks. I guess I will try to stop earlier next time and think about it.
