501  Economy / Speculation / Re: Saving for your Children Bitcoin vs Cash? on: March 10, 2018, 07:57:33 PM
Like every parents want to leave something for children for their future.

Which investment is safe?

Bitcoin?
Stocks?
Real Estate?

If you are a cryptocurrency fan then you will consider including crypto into your own list but for those people who do have still huge trust with traditional investment then they would really go after with stocks and real estates since they do already see on how these investments are good specially for long term or for future.If i do have the money to be allocated then i will put these into 3 things without any doubts.I can risk for the sake of the future of my kids.
502  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's the worst trading decision you've ever made? on: March 08, 2018, 11:10:10 PM
I think my worst trading decision is EMC2. LOL. I spent about 0.2 BTC to buy EMC2 when its price was only 0.00001 BTC/EMC2 then I sold it for 0.00002 BTC/EMC2. Also I doubled all my money but if I were more patient at the time maybe I would have earned more than that 7 or 8 times cause only 1 month after that EMC2 price rised to more than 0.0001 BTC Sad
Well, that is if the OP is talking about signals gotten from indicators, Technical analysis and Fundamental analysis.

In this case, I am sure the OP is referring to Telegram signals where someone calls the shot and the followers do the usual thing which is to follow blindly. That is a huge problem for someone who wants to trade, because there is no way they cannot end up losing a lot at the end. It is always good to have the knowledge and be able to make decision without being told what to do.
Those are probably nothing more than pump and dump groups but people should know better if I knew what a coin will do before it happened I will not share that information with anyone I will probably bet the farm in that trade and become incredible wealthy overnight so it is obvious most signals groups have to be a scam, there is no other way around it.

Your absolutely right - why on earth would people who create these groups try and help out complete strangers at the expense of their own profit?! There are some good vids on YouTube about how P&D groups operate. Doug Polk Crypto did a fantastic one...
This thing should really be always putted in mind for those people who do tend or plan to join Pump and dump groups which how those people are willing to help out strangers on making out some easy money as they claimed on the very first place. Some groups do ask for payment and some are completely free which means theres really a motive on any way you would go.This is why joining those groups are just total scamming out yourself.
503  Economy / Economics / Re: panic selling on: March 07, 2018, 11:59:20 PM
Now we are experiencing same thing again...Why people make that fast decisions? They invest and believe for month, but in every dip we see panic sellers...
Panic selling is not advisable to do, because doing panic selling is we can loose a lot of money or profit and  for me we just need to to trust our coin that we are holding right now, and my advicr is even the price of our coin is will dump very high just hold and wait until the value of it will pump again before we do selling it.
Panic selling is never been good because if you have done this then this is basically your cutting out loses.Unless if you do sell on profits then its just still fine but on overall scenario you are just contributing into such price decline. Panic selling cant really be removed into this very speculative and very volatile market of cryptocurrencies. Price do change from time to time which will vary or depend on fundamentals.
504  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: how to choose a good bounty ?? on: March 07, 2018, 11:45:42 PM
Mostly, if you want to get more tokens, so you need as far as possible to participate in more unpopular ICO project, then you can get more tokens, so you to join this bounty thread the profits may be the highest.
But for non-popular ICOs, they are risky; Now many fraudulent ICOs are born, If you want to participate in them, requires us to have extensive knowledge of market analysis. Many webstie sites also support the quality analysis of a potential ICO project. But personally I only like to participate in the famous ICO project. The chances of success are high.
Choosing a good bounty project is very similar to the way you choose ICO to invest because you probably will not want to participate in a bounty project within 2 to 3 months and get nothing from it. So choose a good ICO project and see if it has bounty programs or not to participate because you get what and how the results depend on the success of the ICO project.
Its just really the same on searching for a particular ICO investment but the difference between is the money being spend on because as a bounty hunter we dont really need to put up money to earn money.By doing task we can able to get tokens corresponding to our ranks and the work we have done but it doesnt mean you are excluded on the risk which as you said we dont like on not being paid after all the hard work we have done.
505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Relationships! on: March 07, 2018, 11:09:34 PM
I don't think you will get a gambling partner as a wife ,because they won't like to gamble the entire earning money in gambling. Because they won't have money to spend for their make up.Lol
It will happen to the big shot only.If they are millionaire or billionaire, they will get this chance. Grin Grin


There are many couples in Thailand goes to gambling night on Saturday night. I do not think it is big problem between the couples who invest on gambling all the time.
There are billinares in the world who made their life with the gambling alone.
If you able to keep on invest on gambling, it is the right platform buddy.
Yes in some places there may be the customs for the couple to visit a casino and play gambling there together. In my country it is even not consider a good activity to visit a market by the girls, they cannot think about to visit a casino, Only men use to visit a casino and play gambling there. May be few girls are there who like to play gambling online.

Yes cultural differences can prohibit a couple  from visiting a casino together but must we go together at all in the first place? I don't think it has any significant impact on the games we play if we go to a casino with a family but many have sought to superstitiously explain that and i disagree.
May be in some places it is possible to visit a casino with your family or your family may know about your gambling activity, but in my area i do not think that one can even think about that, we always play gambling  without knowing any of our family member, because they will never allow us to continue our gambling activity, even we do not like our neighbors to know about our gambling, therefore i think in current time online gambling is the best option for them to play, where they can continue playing gambling anonymously.

Well if you and your partner are both into gambling, then i don't think there's going to be any problem with going to casinos together. Who cares what your neighbors think  and say. Though once you decide to start a family, both should mature and responsible enough to know that their hobby should take a backseat.
Agree! As long as you both enjoy what you are doing then there is no problem with that and you don’t borrow money just to sustain your gambling habit.
If you are still on this case then it isnt really a problem but playing too much gambling could really lead up into this kind of plausible problem since we know on the chances on losing simultaneously on gambling.Even how much money you do have if you do lose on constant basis then you will really end up on borrowing money and i am really sure with that because i have relatives that do become like that. Hes rich but after a long time on playing gambling,thing do turn upside down.
This signifies that you are already into an addiction where you are already making foolish decisions because of it.You might say it on earlier stage but if you do really continue this behavior then expect the unexpected consequences if you let yourself fall into it.If you dont like for your loved ones to hate you then better to play alone and dont let them know that you are playing gambling just be sure that you are just spending on the amounts that you can afford to lose.
506  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Addiction? on: March 06, 2018, 06:41:23 PM
Do you ever feel like you're overly obsessed with cryptocurrencies or trading/investing in general?
Personally, I'm fairly satisfied with my investments/decisions so far but yet I'm looking for market opportunities most of the time. I think that's mainly because of the fact that majority of my time browsing the internet I watch related content. I'm passionate quite passionate about it.

Over time it kinda makes me feel depressed that I don't make as much as I possibly could or others have better scores (some unhealthy jealousy I guess?), so this "paper-chasing" has become a target itself.

When I want to take a break from all this stuff for let's say a month or week at least then I'm not able to because I'm afraid that I will miss out on something.
On the one hand, I have made investments in projects I believe in so I could leave it for few months even and then back but at the other hand, I'm still not quite sure about my diversification so I keep watching the market.

Can anyone relate?

I think that there is always a possibility for this to happen, most especially if you always get good deals and gain good profit. For a person who is so hell-bent on attaining and objective, it would seem that you would have to be an "addict" because you have to closely monitor and check everything in the market. However, I think that instead of coining it as addiction, I think that it is more appropriate to just call it diligence. Since its a venture that you went into, it is also normal to expect that you would do anything you can to make it work and to avoid negative things from happening like a loss. And for that, you really have to take into account every action you do.
Diligence is good enough in the market and most times, I feel it is just something we cannot help, but over time, one gets better knowing that you cannot run faster than the market unless you are just gambling. As long as you have something you are looking forward to, you should always stay relaxed. I was guilty of this for a long time, until I got used to the market, but generally, being an addict in this world, is not a bad thing as far as I am concerned.
addiction are some of the bad things that we cant control for once we are have been fall on it so better to be checked for what we have been done and take for on it cause we all know that this is some of the bad things that we can say that unhealthy way of attitude.
All things aren't bad as long we done it on moderation but if you are already coming a point on where you are engaging on it too much and doing it on constant basis which turns out eventually to consume your time and compromising already lots of things then this is indeed an addiction which do normally affect your usual routine since time allocation isn't already proper.This is why its always important to be aware on our actions and maintain the balance.
507  Economy / Economics / Re: Study says being rich is determined by chance rather than intelligence or talent on: March 06, 2018, 06:02:40 PM
I had time to think about the lives of people who can be successful around me, in terms of education when it is not too high and the mindset is also ordinary, but why they can be successful? I have the conclusion that success is not just from a person's genius but from a fortune that has been destined to be successful and perhaps their courage is also a major factor for continuing to try when it fails, they are not unyielding.
I strongly agree with your opinion, that the fate of someone already there who determines. Everyone has their own way of life and their destiny has been determined by God. But to achieve that success is within ourselves, to be able to achieve it with the courage to face all the trials, because everyone must have experienced failure. In order to rise from failure we must keep trying to realize the expectations we want, because failure is not the end of everything, but failure is a delayed success.
But other people do easily give up when they do experience failure which it is really a sad thing.This would totally block us out into the things we are wishing or targeting it out.Ive seen in reality that even those normal people who do have average way of living but still striving to reach out goals without knowing the word surrender do reach out on having a financial freedom compared to those who do have the intellect but do lacks of actions.It do really differs.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effects of Gambling on: March 02, 2018, 07:47:06 PM
I like the good effects of meeting new friends, if you are flexible to meet new people, you can entirely use this in your career or in your any future commitments. But the bad effects, we all know about it. I think you miss something but still it will lead to debt, when you sell all of your property due to insufficient funds. Well they are all connected.
All of these are the common effects of gambling that have been mentioned by you but I have seen some of the rare effects. A friend of mine has won two bets at the same day and it helped him to start a new business in the town .He was previously my partner in a deal that has been set in order to earn the profit by supplying the goods to a company . He left me and became disloyal and that could be considered as one of the effects of gambling.
We cant really deny the fact that gambling can give us opportunity on winning huge money for us to start up a new business or other opportunities since we do have already sufficient money to start on.It would totally depend on how a person would handle his winnings either on the brighter/secure side or just continuing on playing those winnings back to gambling and hoping for more win.It is just like that if he does into the right path then it would really be helpful but if not then expected things will happen.
509  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HODL vs Day trading on: March 01, 2018, 10:49:08 PM
Actually, I really want to try day trading because I see that many traders earn faster there compare to other methods. But the problem is I'm hindered by lacking of requirements such as computer and bots; knowledge about it is not a primary concern since it can be learned.

For that reason, I remain hodling but it's okay, at least this is safer wayvto earn profit though a slower one.
Bots isnt really necessary on day trades since you are active in facing in front of your pc you can even do it manually without relying too much on automated system.It might be a convenience but you can do it without those things. Knowledge? This is the most important thing even though you said it can be learned but it wont really be an easy stuff to be attained.
510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Charlie Lee is moving from Litecoin to NANO on: March 01, 2018, 10:14:39 PM
He doesnt mention that he will move to NANO from LTC,he just want to support NANO because it has good technology like what LTC has,expressing gratitude to the competitors only shows how good he is because he doesnt care about competitions,he cares about the technology behind the project and it is good to have a founder like him,very professional.
Satoshi Lite or Charlie Lee is a genius he knows what technology may rise or not! He always focus on transaction speed and cheap fee, We all know it's a competitor of his coin-Litecoin, He isn't bias on other altcoins but due to the demand community of Nano this coin will be huge!
This is the good side of him which he doesnt really fight or do make bias argumentation towards to its creation if he do sees which is more better compared to it.If he decide to move to NANO then it does signifies that this thing do have the potential to develop and rise up in the future.Not only just to its price but also on the adoptation because even myself do love NANO's feature.
511  Economy / Economics / Re: Bill Gates says crypto-currencies cause deaths on: March 01, 2018, 09:39:24 PM
But 2 year ago also he said bitcoin is unstopable :/
Hmmm this might be the sign that he's going to start putting money to bitcoin?

Most of the well known and popular people are telling this way so that they can have their own purpose and interest for bitcoin and will have a good buying price. I thought I was wrong that I can remember, he said positive thing about bitcoin before.
Either both ways which he might able to enter or just purely give a negative view about bitcoin.Yes,i do remembered that he do praised bitcoin way before and now he do mention about negative things.Im not surprised since this is been part of reality when it comes to bitcoin if its used in negative side.Not only bitcoin so as on local fiat too.This means it entirely depend on the people who do make use of it.
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe is Bitcoin gambling on: February 28, 2018, 11:25:38 PM
How safe ? In terms of earnings, its a 50/50 probability of wins and losses it all depends on luck. With regards to the security on the gambling site, there are many sites who scams desprate gambler so you should be careful on that. Gamble only to those recognized sites. You cannot make a living depending only on gambling. Its like betting your 3x a day food everyday, well, if thats okay with you then go.
In short, we come to the conclusion that gambling is not safe at all. it is never a win-win situation in gambling, you are always at the verge of losing whatever you have bet in the house. The win-win circumstances are only for the house who is controlling all.
Of course, it would not consider as a win-win situation but at least the chances are the same. So you should be careful of playing and do not let the emotion controls you. If you are a professional gambler, you will know how to deal with it. It is just a matter of skills and some luck that will bring you to the throne of winning.
Professional gamblers can only be seen into skill-based related gambling but those professionalism wont really be effective into luck based games such as dice,slots and other similar games. Chances of losing would be entirely the same no matter how professional or newbie you are thats why its never been safe when we are playing gambling because we do definitely no matter what.
513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Real reason of falling down market. on: February 28, 2018, 10:58:45 PM
Don't you like this scenario of the market behavior? Smiley We need to be flexible. Now is a great time to buy many interesting coins. And I'm sure that if you buy coins today, you will soon get a profit. Be calm.
We like it or not on the markets behavior but still we cant do anything about it but to see and wait up on the possible movements that might happen ahead.This is why as a trader and an investor we should utilize these movements for us to make profits.Impatient individuals will most likely end up on losing money and this is why we should really need to wait up until the market prices recovers. This is a zigzag way and dont expect for it to be smooth.
514  Economy / Speculation / Re: Head and shoulder pattern is on the way, New all-time high is coming. on: February 27, 2018, 08:36:19 PM
Every indicators in technical analysis are pointing towards an upward trend signaling a strong buy, but BTC has always proven to everyone that it is unpredictable and could go the opposite direction. Investors should still take caution in this market volatility, cost averaging method is the recommended strategy instead of going all in.
This signifies that technical analysis wont really work anytime on crypto trading which isn't like on using it on Forex trading which most of the time price do really go along the way on where those indicators do go. As far as I know if technical analysis do form up head and shoulders it do go into bearish trend which is opposite on the thing being mentioning here by the OP. I might be wrong yet I'm not really seeing into technical aspects.
515  Other / Archival / Re: So many Bounties-Which one is trusted? on: February 27, 2018, 07:56:45 PM
I have checked the latest active bounties on bountylord.com and found many of them but only few are rated as 3 or 4 so any of you here working for any of those bounties listed there and found it trusted source of earning stakes/tokens/coins... I want to do the twitter campaign...
There are lots of sites just like bountylord but mostly when I do see out for bounties I do usually go to icobench or icorating.It does show recent recent ICO and normally most of them do offer bounty campaign. Basing on stats and reviews you can somehow guaranteed that it is a good one yet there are people whom trust it but don't fully rely on it and its not a guarantee for it not to fail.
516  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Have we seen the last of Bitcoin Cash? on: February 26, 2018, 04:30:10 PM
There have been two major flippening attempts, where BCH supporters tried to overthrow BTC.  Both attempts have failed, but BCH gained a lot in terms of market cap.  During those events, when BTC transactions were ridiculously slow and expensive, I watched a lot of people on Twitter jump ship and join the BCH camp.  It makes me wonder if a future flippening is possible.

BCH has been quiet lately.  Do you think we've seen the last of it? Have the BCH supporters given up for good, or are they gearing up to attack again?
Those activities and presumptions do happen anytime not only between BTC and BCH but also into other altcoins in the market too.People do anytime jump in into other coin which they can see that other coin isnt profitable or do have problems. Jumping out is normal and we can obviously see those switching and as a trader we do know how to ride on the waves since making money out of this is really good.BCH is somehow on idle state and we wont know on what would be the next possible move.
517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are you long term or short term? on: February 26, 2018, 03:39:38 PM
I am trading once in a while because I have coins in exchanges. Sometimes I buy and just wait the coin to go up in value before I sell, of course I know it is in dip. Now, which is better, set it to your expected price so that when it hit you sold? O wait for the price to go up and sell even if it did not reach yet to your  target price? Thanks.

For the altcoin yes I'm a short term but in the bitcoin I'm a long term , and it still depend on the price of the coin. Sometimes of excitement I sell without a doubt though and my target price cause I invest into bitcoin and ethereum so basically a high profit expected but we can't assure though so I rather sell although my target price did not reach. In long term you can say that you will have a good profit.

It cant really be avoided on those times on where we do sell out on early phase specially when we do already see that we are on gains which isnt really bad at all as long we do make profits then it should be fine even do we see the price soar up even more.Those kinds of scenarios are normal which either short term or long term trades would be entirely depending on situation and the coins you are holding on.
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Is Your Worst Moment in Gambling? on: February 23, 2018, 06:36:21 PM
Gambling online has been my worst nightmare. I remember to have deposited in a dice site to gamble. I did a few roles and decided to veer off to do something before I continue. I forgot to reset to the original settings and left it where it had stopped. When I resumed, I decided to use a higher odd and never changed the settings. I ended up wiping all my balance in only three rolls- 2 btc gone
it is a nightmare, you lose a lot of money in just some time. But it also happens to many people. gambling is a risky thing, so you'll always be accompanied by nightmares. I do not really like gambling and I think it's a waste of my important time.
Gambling for those people who need entertainment after work just like me, it is relieved my stress in a whole day work if i'm playing gambling. The thrill and excitement that was the most important that i want in gambling then the next is money if you have a luck the money will follow after entertainment. The worst moment when i lost a big amount in gambling because of excitement i did not stop my self in betting, so we need a self discipline by involving gambling.
If you do treat it for entertainment then its not really bad but when it comes to the point on where you are already risking big amounts of money and losing it and compromising already your salary then it would be an another story.This should be avoided and this is why its important for you to have strong self control and awareness regarding into the things before on proceeding and you should know the risk.
519  Economy / Economics / Re: Why I am quitting ICO's on: February 23, 2018, 04:21:37 PM
I still invest in ICOs, but it's getting boring to read whitepapers of projects with same concepts, copying ideas. Projects, in which advisors and team members try to sell themselves like street bazar.
Yes , usually those copy-cat project won't last for long and the reason they open the project for scamming purpose only. So stay away from all of them if you don't want to get scam.

Yeah. We need to always look about their project because that can be the reason for us to know if the ICO is scam or not, don't be bored reading because knowing their background will help us to avoid scammers.
If you do like to make money then you do really need to risk money too.If you are afraid on the very first place then you should not engage into ICO and as an investor you should really know on your responsibilities and the things should be done first before you would decide to invest.If you are careless then most likely you will end up on getting scammed or do have failure if the project do fail.
520  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can one trade without losing?? on: February 22, 2018, 04:54:52 PM
it is impossible to trade without losing anything. trading has a certain level of unpredictability that makes it hard to always make profit. even big players lose at some point. the important thing is that your total is not loss meaning at the end of the day you should have made profit.

also all these "trading signs" you mentioned are good but when it comes to altcoins and somewhat even bitcoin, they are not as useful as you may think because the market is small and that makes it more unpredictable. and in altcoins there is mostly pump and dump instead of real rise and falls.
That is the reality, in trading it is quite impossible to not experience loss specially on invested capital. We should all be aware that in the process of trading risk is always existing and it is only up to us to manage the risk given and to earn and make the most out of the given opportunity of changes and development in the system of bitcoin.
We do consider trading as an investment since it do involves money and we do all know that each investment do really have corresponding risk behind it which means experiences of losing money would definitely happen into you. Don't pursue or strive on having perfect trades because it is an impossible stuff rather than on thinking on this matter its much better to focus lessening the risk of having losing trades.Its unavoidable but somehow can be manage to lessen which is good.
