4901  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to teach someone about Bitcoin on: April 15, 2016, 12:54:39 PM
To teach some about bitcoin you have to have your cellphone or your pc ready so that you can let a person see the visualization so that they can understand bitcoin more easy.
A pretty good idea, because it requires a Bitcoin can be used, so that the device without device (PC, cell phone, laptop) definitely bitcoin can not be used. But there's a little extra after seeing the visualization of bitcoin, we could add to the advantages offered by the Bitcoin is much better than other currencies
Yeah but for such an effort to have any significant effect, it would have to be done in a very professional way. And indeed, it needs to be paired with actually giving Bitcoin to the person who is learning.

I think poker is the most profitable type of gambling you just have to be good at reading cards and knowing how to bluff your opponent.
It's also pretty dangerous to start thinking that you're a professional poker player and then end up losing all your money.
Very few players have what it takes to make it big.
4903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How long do you play per day gambling like Dice ? on: April 15, 2016, 11:44:02 AM
I barely spend any time on gambling websites. Maximum 30 minutes a day. I know that gambling just makes you lose money unless you are very lucky. Just don't do it as you will get addicted as soon as you lose a bit of money. As it is instinct to try and win back that money.
I would say that 30 minutes a day is still a lot if you're playing every single day.
I limit gambling for myself to just like an hour per 2 weeks or so.
4904  Economy / Economics / Re: I'm not gonna sell any coin. on: April 15, 2016, 11:40:17 AM
Selling coins is just not smart at all this is because the bitcoin is gonna rise in its price because of the halving that is coming this year.
Overall I think the bitcoin has a good future a head this year so selling is not smart and I think its also to early for this year.
I don't agree, if you sell your coins at the right time for an altcoin that is gaining value, then you're doing good and you'll be making a profit.
4905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin ESports betting. on: April 15, 2016, 11:38:42 AM
I've been waiting for this to become a thing, surprised you've even got Heroes of The Storm on there, didn;t expect that Smiley
You might have wanted to post this to the Gambling section of the forum though.
4906  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dash: The Future Internet Of Money? on: April 15, 2016, 11:36:11 AM
Those are some very good points stan.distortion, and I'm indeed interested to see how things go with these budget/governance systems (not only Dash but also some of the other coins that have similar approaches).

Thank you for the respectful and informative exchange. I have mentioned before that I own some DASH (which is still the case), and there are things I like about it, despite being critical of others.
What exactly do you like about Dash? I've seen a lot of negativity surrounding Dash here on the forum, I'm not quite sure wether the majority of it is legitimate or not.

That was pretty funny, they've certainly put some time and effort into it Smiley
Like other have said, it should have been posted on April fools Cheesy
4908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ShapeShift Offline After Hack on: April 15, 2016, 11:29:24 AM
Every time I read a story like this, I'm happy that I don't keep the majority of my funds on exchanges. But it's still negative press for Bitcoin sadly..
4909  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cheaters (double spenders) and what the gambling sites are doing against them on: April 15, 2016, 11:20:34 AM
I wonder how there are still some casino's that are able to offer instant play with 0 confirmations? This seems to be something that's fairly easy to exploit and make a huge profit with in a short time.
This combined with instant payouts would be quite detrimental for the site.
4910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which would you prefer? Satoshi is a male or female? on: April 15, 2016, 11:15:17 AM
Why would it matter what gender he/she is? But by looking at the name I would think he's male.
4911  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: April 15, 2016, 11:03:06 AM
I suggest that you save your money. Nowadays, there's a lot of ponzis out there. If you're a newbie, you'll never know which ones are the ponzi scams (although most of them are ponzi). Even the most trusted websites that promises a lifetime investment will one day shut down. Do not invest your money and just let it sleep in your pocket. Most of investments does not end in profit though.
But there are some safe investments that do not have risk of spoof, invest in land, gold are some of those examples.
Saving money is now the safest thing that you can do now, because the value is also not even that high to sell is so that is quite bad for the people who already have Bitcoin.
If you want to make some profit in this time you can indeed make an investment, but it can be risky.
I wouldn't say that saving money, on a bank, is the safest thing, if a severe economic crisis hits again and your bank doeswn't get bailed out if needed, you've just lost all of your savings.
It would be a pretty unlikely event but not impossible.
4912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin survive world war III? on: April 15, 2016, 10:49:51 AM
I don't know if WW3 would be happen or not.
But as long as humans and internet still exist, Bitcoin will still stand strong.
of course the war will occur dude many countries stating that they are the country a world leader or the strongest. Now is still a war in various areas. we must be prepared to WW3. hopefully not impact on bitcoin

If WWW3 HAppen. Well i can say bitcoin will no longer survive because many bitcoin holder will sell their stock bitcoin and do massive sellings because they well secure their money,buy stock foods, or even a weapon for protection while bitcoin is digital currency and no gaurantee for bitcoin existance for that time.
Yeah I think this is a real possibility, maybe prices would even drop significantly before a war starts.
But there are always people looking to profit from war and Bitcoin might just be another means to do so.
4913  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcointalk is a good way to get information about Bitcoins? on: April 15, 2016, 10:33:19 AM
Yes, you can find some pretty useful information here, but I would recommend researching everything you read here yourself using Google. There are many people who just write nonsense to beef up their post count for signature campaigns.

The Mining and Development & Technical Discussion sections of the forum are a bit better off in regards to signature link spammers. I see a lot more useful discussions on there compared to more general sections.
4914  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: invest in my gambling on: April 14, 2016, 12:28:30 PM
here is a video I made a few years ago discussing some no limit hold'em situations that arose.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=WyQtAPTqLv4
Can you prove in some way that is really you in that video? In any case, it's very suspicious for a newbie to come here and ask for people to invest.
4915  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's stopping people from using bitcoin? on: April 14, 2016, 12:16:36 PM
When government banned and jailed people who use bitcoin because illegal, it will makes people stop using bitcoin. Luckly no country jailed people who use bitcoin.

That might be few exceptional cases, I believe as only a very little percentage is using bitcoin right now people have a little hesitation initially, this would change when mass adoption happens.
Yeah I doubt this would happen in the US or within the EU member states, that would still be a huge market for Bitcoin.

Seems like they've patented it, does anyone have some information about their licensing fees and terms?
4917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best strategy in Roulette ? on: April 14, 2016, 09:52:54 AM
It is not a game of strategy but luck. It really is the luck in the spin not by strategically placing your chips on the numbers that you are sure the ball is going to land on. That is  less than 10% chance that it land on that number or a 50/50 percent chance that it will land on a color that you are hoping that it will land on. Then of course you have the dreaded 0 that nobody in their right mind would pick as that is house number that kills any plans for a false sense of strategy anyways.  Roll Eyes

People in their right mind bet on 0 all the time because it has the same odds of winning as any other number.

I always thought that people forget bet '0' .. primarily due to its location on the table.
When I play roulette very often I bet '0' - too many times I had an unpleasant surprise when I forgot to bet;)
I try to avoid noticing and acting on such things when I gamble in general, I think having these 'superstitions' could trigger you getting addicted to gambling.
 
4918  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: HYIP: Are there any benefits? on: April 14, 2016, 09:49:58 AM
It's pretty unethical to be running a HYIP, they always scam in the end, there is no way that you could be offering a huge ROI of like 1% per day or more.
4919  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Method of gaining bitcoin from scratch on: April 14, 2016, 09:47:19 AM
Method of gaining bitcoin from scratch means how to start. Well most of people start my faucets and then realize its way slow an earning.
but still there are a lot of faucet sites

Yeah for a newbie I think faucet is the best to start off at the initial stage, and majority of us have started our journey in bitcoin by claiming free santhoshis and I don't think there is anything wrong in it.
There's nothing wrong with faucets, nearly everyone started out that way. just takes too long
But by using them you're basically spending a lot of time trying to earn less than 1 dollar per day, there are other ways of earning Bitcoins that do not require any skills.
I think you'd even make more doing data entry.
4920  Economy / Economics / Re: What is some of the best crypto technology to invest in on: April 14, 2016, 09:39:50 AM
First and foremost, I would be investing in Bitcoin itself, especially with the upcoming reward halving.

Other than that, I've been investing in dice sites, which have given me a relatively constant stream of profit over the last 2 years or so.
But I would still say that this is a very risky investment, since the website could make a loss due to variance or they could just run away with your money.

These days there's as lot of money to be made by investing into altcoins, but there have also been times where the market for most Altcoins just crashed without much volatility, thus making it difficult to get some ROI.
