You're running like moths to a flame, so let me add some sense to the thread.
Think about it before you apply.

Campaign started by a newbie, without a manager, even though there are many looking for work
No escrow.

4782  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the rise of immersive technologies increase the popularity of Bitcoin? on: November 08, 2018, 12:11:50 AM
In light of the new developments in technology, is it safe to assume that the sudden interests in immersive technologies is the boost needed to make Bitcoin and other virtual currencies the future of finance?

I don't think so, I don't see the connection between those two concepts, unless Bitcoin is absolutely needed to access or use immersive technologies, which is not very likely to happen.

And I can see a connection. Cryptocurrencies are safer, faster, cheaper to use than fiat money. 100% under your control and not vulnerable to holidays like banks. They don't have to be taken down for maintenance they are always able to assist you. The only things that you need are power and Internet connection.
In future people will want to be able to pay at any time of the day. They will not want to remember about taking the wallet with them every time they leave the house.

First of all, I was talking from a sellers perspective. If a dude is living off on $2-$3 per day, He will most likely not have access to high-speed internet to enjoy a service like Netflix or Spotify. Hence why plans like ppm aren't as attractive. These services are more for western audiences than eastern. That's why let's say paying for a $10 subscription with 1 penny in fees makes sense. That's a real use case of LN.

So we're getting into the first world argument. Are you really saying that paying subscription is a western thing, people who want to pay cents for a video have to be poor, living off 2$ a day and can't have Internet access that allows for those videos to be watched in the first place? Cheesy
You'd have to look hard for places where people earn $2 a day. Even in underdeveloped countries $0.5 per hour is a low wage these days. 

I think that this bike is a great example of how LN can be utilized and paying cents for being able to watch a movie or a live stream can be profitable to the streamer or host. Many videos on social media have more than 1 million views. If watching would cost you 5c it would still make a hefty sum. It would also be another way of fighting online piracy. Many people would pay a few cents for being able to download a movie legally and in good quality.

Every country can potentially influence Bitcoin. Venezuela is, India is, even smaller countries would if they suddenly announced acceptance. Malta isn't a big country and it influences Bitcoin. Saying that China influences it is nothing but stating the obvious.
4786  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC bear market over????? on: November 04, 2018, 10:44:42 PM
No bear market not over still we have one more month, we cannot assume the market with current situation. Always at the end of the year only bitcoin would boom up. Last year also the same thing happened, I agree still there is no good sign for growth. Till the end we have to wait who konws may be this December also we will have tremendous growth. Don't get panic and confused just continue your holdings till the value touch the moon. It will happen this year or next year patience will leads you good profit.

You're talking out of your ass. This is not true. Where did you see a boom in December 2014? It was the first year of the bear market just like 2018 is and it ended in a bearish pattern.
There's no way to predict if next month will be bullish or bearish. For now the bear market has been losing steam but nobody knows the date of the reversal.
4787  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When did you bought bitcoin? on: November 04, 2018, 10:26:28 PM
I bought Bitcoin in early 2017 and joined the forum right before that. I saw it recover after the long bear market of 2016 and saw it as a great opportunity to make some money. It went well and I got a very nice profit 12 months later, couldn't be happier. I took some profit and saved up the rest. It's a risk-free investment now.
4788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does panicking made you feel ease? Or depressed? on: November 04, 2018, 09:51:28 PM
When I hold the coin and it keeps going down I feel the need to sell and at first it makes me feel at ease, but the more time goes by the more I start thinking about buying back some of it.
If you feel the need to sell my advice to you is: sell just a bit to feel the weight of fiat money in your pocket or see the numbers on your bank account. You will feel safer and be able to keep holding without getting depressed. The market always turns.

You shouldn't try to copycat other poster's attitude. We don't need mirror images and people showing other people what and how to write. Be yourselves and you will get merit. There are many merit sources who read these threads and reward posters. Take your time, don't rush it.


I admit that I was once a shitposter but it changed.

Circumstances change and you chose the right option.

4790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Men only. Are you daring enough to have a boob job to complete a bet? on: November 04, 2018, 09:09:05 PM
I think that those of you who say they wouldn't do it and that it's disgusting should think twice. Would you be able to make 100,000 in a year? I sure wouldn't and this would give me the money without the need to work. It would hurt a bit and there would probably be scars but scars are bearable for big money. At least it would be for me Wink
4791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: November 04, 2018, 08:54:25 PM

Well  about the theory i guess thats the best way to consider the gambling habits

As I believe that playing gamble must be for fun only and enjoyment,and not for profiteering we have to be thankful that we have fun while we are playing,and if we won then thats just a bonus

This is my mindset whenever i want to play,and luckily because of this attitude i never become addicted and just enjoying the very moment I played


If only you could make people think like that, but you can't. When people think about playing in a casino it makes them think of the money. The thought of winning money without having to work or put an effort is too tempting. There's a reason why most profitable casino games are the ones that don't require any knowledge or skill like slots. They lure people in and make them lose small money which they don't even notice but if a casino has 100 machines and 1000 people play there every day it's a large profit.
4792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life with a Gambler - Solution! on: November 04, 2018, 08:33:51 PM
the main factor is the environment, if the environment where we live is far from gambling, then gambling addiction can be reduced little by little because there are no friends to play. and the economic situation that is falling sometimes can also be a reason for gambling addicts to stop even for a moment.

But now online casinos are mushrooming and even though our environment is far from gambling the possibility of becoming an addict remains because online gambling can be done without the need of friends. We should do extra efforts nowadays to make sure our kids won't affected by gambling stuffs and things.

Doesn't this sound a bit unrealistic and hypocritical? You're advertising a casino, posting on a gambling board, possibly are a gambler yourself, and you're preaching that the rise of online gambling makes it easier to get addicted and that we should make kids stay away from it? Are you joking?
You don't become an addict by having access to a product. You can buy alcohol in every store and it's not very expensive, but less than 1 person out of 100 becomes an alcoholic.
4793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Historical Street Gambling Game on: November 04, 2018, 08:11:37 PM
I once saw scammers who were cheating people on the game of 3 cups and it was a similar strategy to the card game story. The difference was that they had shills in the crowd who were playing and winning, to make people think that it's easy. Later on when somebody came to play the shills were supposed to turn his attention, distract him, sometimes even steal from him. If the cheated person got wind of the scam they would make a lot of noise and confusion in the crowd for the group to get away.
4794  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-11-03]Most American Voters Consider Cryptos as Fiat Currency, Survey Shows on: November 04, 2018, 07:40:02 PM
Cryptocurrencies are items of value and should be treated as such. If you donate a car or a painting to someone it's equal to a donation of the same value in fiat money. It should be obvious that all donations should be treated like fiat donations. Do we really have to ask people what they think about obvious things? We should rather ask those who think it shouldn't be treated as equal why that is.

in order to grow and make the lottery known and established, we need to advertise/promote the lottery. between 10-15% will be invested in advertising and promotion.

How are you planning to do that? You want to invest money from profits? That won't work. When you're starting a business you have to put up funds for advertising and have enough to run campaigns and buy banners for weeks and months before you're able to profit from it. Spreading the word always comes first, before anybody starts playing.
You're hoping that people will start playing and give you money and then you'll be able to spend it on advertising? This is going to fail so hard...

no way, its another lottery game
but this one is unique, it has a special feature- the owner is asking for tips if you win playing it  Grin
and the 15% house edge makes you wanna stop reading about the site
but when you look at the site itself, any desire to send anything disappears completely
one would be better off yoloing his money at binary options, not even talking about regular dice sites with a 1% house edge

With that house edge is screaming we're broke.
You can always yolo your money at yolodice Cheesy

4796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You think we're deviating from bitcoin's philosophy? on: November 04, 2018, 07:08:21 PM
We are deviating by cheering ETFs, banks and Wall Street traders when they're coming in. We became greedy and oetr focus has shifted. We used to be interested in privacy, security and decentralization. Now it's all about short term profits, pump and dump.
4797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why would people want to adopt Bitcoin as a payment option? on: November 04, 2018, 06:54:27 PM
For me, the most important advantage of cryptocurrency is security. It is very difficult for hackers and scammers to get to your digital wallet. But banks, unfortunately, are robbed very often. Therefore, I am for the use of cryptocurrency.



This doesn't give a big advantage to Bitcoin because banks are insured. If they get robbed they will give you back your money and if they delay you always can sue them. If your Bitcoin gets stolen nobody will be able to help you. It's all over.

I would like to have Bitcoin as a payment option because I like privacy. I don't want the bank or a government agency to know what I'm buying and how much money I have.

In case anyone actually cares I received a PM today saying that because I am "protecting" the trolls this user (not the OP) was done with the forum and that the forum lost a good user because I am protecting users who are morons...  

Moloch sent you a PM to tell you that he's leaving the forum in case you missed his post where he was saying that he's leaving. Grin



He'll be back after some quiet time.
4799  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-30]What will Bitcoin be Worth in 5-10 Years Time on: November 03, 2018, 05:39:13 PM
People who've been introduced to Bitcoin have a bad taste in their mouth, not only because of how many of them are burned, but the user experience was horrible, which might even be the worst part.

Those who came into the space in 2014 also had a bad taste in their mouth in 2015 and some of 2016. It didn't change anything for Bitcoin which rallied anyway. If this bad taste had any influence on market swings every bear market would be the last. What once came down would never come up again because the longer the fall would take the more scared and angry the investors would be.
4800  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-11-03] Millionaire Will Build Blockchain Smart City in Nevada on: November 03, 2018, 05:25:13 PM
For those having troubles with imperial units, 67,000 acres is roughly equal to 271 square kilometers. For comparison, the area of San Francisco is 121 square km (30,000 acres).

He's a dreamer. A city of this size won't be built in his lifetime. This is too ambitious and he should start small and try to make it self sustainable as soon as possible, or it will end  up like so many abandoned projects and structures around the world, where the builders run out of money, or time.
