521  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you regret spending money on this year? on: January 02, 2017, 11:03:17 PM
I assume we're not talking about 2017 because it just started Cheesy what I regret the most is that I actually did not spend my money on Bitcoin. I just kept my money in fiat and that was a bad decision, and I regret it because now I would have had doubled that amount (a few hundreds bucks).


This year i would not regret about spending money because during new year we spend less together with my family, and talking about what I regret most is using fiat currency money is at last year's spending history. I am able to spend fiat money to some happy hours buying alcoholic drinks and uncertain lottery gambling which spends fiat money which i regret most spending and big thanks to bitcoin because beyond regretions there is hope from bitcoin which made me learn how to earn out of it.

Investing and gambling is a matter of decision making so this things will always rely on you. How much to lose or to gain is depending on your bets , same with when or where will the betting be. High or low risk it doesn't matter. The risk is always there.
It is depending on your investment, if you are investing a large amont then surely the risk is high and if you are going to invest a small amount then there is low risk, but the fact is that risk is always involve not only in gambling but in all types of trading also.
yes but it also depend on your experience if you have good experience of gambling then you can minimize the risk in gambling as there are some games where you can use your experience to get succeeded.

However, making money in gambling is not easy as we think. It involves skills and experience to succeed, you can tell that by yourself if you have a future with gambling because you are the one that is playing and you can always track your record, but be honest with yourself as that is the biggest mistake most gamblers are making.

It's easy if you already expert and have experienced on gambling in 3-5 years and having big amount of money to gambling. I mean, gambling is a high risk investment and when you have big amount of money, you can reduce the risk, because you can easily doubling your bet if you lose.

Yes of course, because gambling is take a high risk investment, because it can cause a damage in your future especially in the family coz u having a big amount of money to that games.better to stop that game in order to save your money and for the future of your family you never succed in gambling.

There are a countless number of reasons why bitcoin is superior that I'm sure have all been aforementioned here.
You are probably looking only at one page of the book, cash is always better than bitcoin if you have to consider all the factors (strength and weaknesses), we may be bias since we are in the crypto, so we chooses bitcoin blindly. But admit it, we cannot live without cash using bitcoin alone.

Well of course right now cash is better, it's what everyone uses. Of course we cannot live without cash using bitcoin alone. Not yet at least Smiley

Yes cash is better so far today because we don't have choice but to keep on using it for our daily lives since bitcoin is not yet accepted globally we can just simply use our bitcoins and exchange it to fiat after it. But in the future many are speculating and saying that cashless society will happen and the medium to be used as main currency will be bitcoin.

Bitcoin is important than cash because aside from cash it can be use for other purposes like paying some other obligation that loading directly to the mobile phone numbers while in cash it is hard because we go to places like store to pay but otherwise cash also is very important to the people in offline payments. Bitcoin is a principle of online payment transaction without filling out an online account for fiat deposits, btc can be directly converted to fiat and do online transactions.
524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to Invest BTC? on: January 01, 2017, 04:52:45 AM
you should perform the division for investment. you invest in bitcoin with trading. and partly you use to open a business in the real world. I think it was the right choice. because you have 2 choices when one of them fails.


Its good to invest btc at profitable sites like in ccex trading because high profits awaits you there and all you need is the skills and always see to it that you may gain proper understanding so that you may avoid losing your invested btc like of altcoin tradings. Seek proper advice from expert mentors before investing altcoins so that your journey in trading will be more fruitful and if profit will do in return there will be fruitful bitcoins to harvest.
525  Economy / Economics / Re: What if US Dollar Crashes? on: December 30, 2016, 01:17:19 AM
I think bitcoin will replace if us dollars crash if ever it happens the one who have bitcoin will earn more profit but i think its very impossible because dollar is the main currency of U.S and it will affect their economy
It will never be, US dollar is strong. Let's imagine your scenario if US dollar crashes, it is not only the US country itself would get affected but also the entire world. US is one of the country with a great economy and we know that all.

Yes, dollar will never be ever crashed since there are many supports around it, and on depending on its economy. Dollar has been there for many decades


If ever usd crashes many investors will be affected and specially bitcoin will also affected with its domino effect because worldwide relies on dollar rate as with the currency exchange rates. But it was just expeculations it would never happen that dollar will crash because its the one nutralizing the worlds currency without it exchange rates will not move as well as bitcoin economy there is no economic movement if dollar will crash.
526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: December 30, 2016, 12:09:31 AM
I think no one can determine the actual number of people who use bitcoin. Becouse it so anonimously and one person could be have more than one wallet.

For me the number of these people is an infinite number which cannot be counted just like our human hairs numbers cannot be counted pieces by pieces, thats how bitcoin works to life of people nowadays and its becoming more and increasing rapidly on those who use bitcoin for earning also a bitcoin. The reason if this is investments of bitcoin turns to bitcoin profits that can be a source of financial income for people who are positive and are hardworking individuals.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is Gambling Like Investing on: December 29, 2016, 11:40:44 PM
gambling is just similar to investment but in gambling we can control our earnings and we use money both gambling,investment but on investment we cant control our earnings and its takes time to build up unlike on gambling.

As everyone says gambling is somewhat like investing just like in a business you invest like you gamble in a betting game when a business earns profit and if economic demand of your product is progressive and if not then thats the time you are losing your investments. The same with gambling if you are betting in a sports game and your investments is your bitcoin in your wallet and yet chances were there in a positive situation and you won that would be consider profit but if you fail then you lose the invested btc.
528  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: December 29, 2016, 11:04:06 PM
yeah trading is very much profitable nowadays and a lot of people are earning bitcoin in huge amount through trading and people really like to online jobs and they are earning their profit through trading and other activity .
Trading is profitable but not for all of the traders, I believe with a huge number of traders only few of them are profitable, it is a risky venture that requires deep knowledge and proper time management to succeed and most of us cannot do that as we have different focus in life. I think we are too comfortable with having a job since it has no risk than risking our money to make money in trading.
I will say that if a person is trader then trade is profitable for him and he will earn good income but if a person is not a trader and do not have skills of trading and just by looking at others he came here to trade then for him trading is not profitable and he will not be able to get any income from his trading activities.
I think not only skills that's necessary but knowledge is essential in the trade and also you must smart when find the information its a very important factor for you can make a decision to sell or buy a bitcoin the event of price movement.
yes i think knowledge and good information about the coin in which you are going to invest your assets is too much important, you need to remain yourself update from the market and must know every change that occur int he world of currencies and only then you can really earn money from trading


I prefer using bitcoin rather than cash because it has so fast transaction like paying bills online and loading mobile numbers for mobile phones. These bitcoin transactions is really amazing and it encourages people around the wold to make use of internet opportunity to adopt more with bitcoin unlike fiat currency digital currency is more safer than fiat because you cannot hold it in hand and its in the internet network circulating around the world and all transaction is made online compared to cash of fiat most transaction were done in physical activities.
529  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: December 29, 2016, 10:41:13 PM
Unpredicable job?
Yes of course.
But it is finaly easy...it goes up or down...just chose the right one...(lol)

Yes, it look easy but the opportunities won and lost is same. It takes a long to decide yes or no. 2 options but can make us rich or poor. If trading is easy, of course everyone wouldn't work and chooses trading, but it takes a good analysis.

Absolutely its very very unpredictable job for those who trade altcoins and same with stock market traders they don't find comfort of which is the certain decisions is the right decision they make when they trade because if you trade there were many considerations to take like fluctuation of the trend graph which you must have a brief analysis. In order to have firm decision you must read the current updates of your trading sites and be able to have inputs on the informations which is related to the graph trend you are monitoring so that no uncertain trades will happen and avoid lossing investments.
530  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about the idea of a bitcoin shop in big cities? on: December 29, 2016, 10:04:24 PM
When the world goes on bitcoin, the infrastructure itself will begin to break up with the tremendous pace. But I want to say that even now in the countries where the bitcoin is not very popular, some stores still accept bitcoin. It is commendable.
most countries are now familiar with bitcoin. but among them only a few were willing to accept bitcoin. The remainder of the just a few people. use bitcoin will be more effective when bitcoin has a definite regulation.


Thats great to know of these big countries that they are familiar of bitcoin and its not imposible inthe future of rhese development of digital crypto currency to be accepted in our society worldwide. Bitcoin shop in worlds big cities woul be very amazing for us who depends on bitcoin and if government will allow this in our different countries i think it will bring more progress of the economy, in my country right now few were aware of bitcoin but if this will be implemented soon like having bitcoin shop? Its no wonder these people around in my location will not adopt these methods of bitcoin has.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: December 29, 2016, 09:40:35 PM
They are both risky but trading is depends on your skills when you are you going to buy or sell unlike the gambling your only chance is the luck i dont really believe in gambling because of higher chance of lossing

Trading is more profitable than gambling because chances of losing investment is lesser compared when you gamble but its more fun in gambling compared to trading of altcoins because its more boring in trading although its profitable it needs analysis in the same way you want your investments to take place on your trading ability unlike gambling all you want is to win and have fun at all. Thats why in trading serious profit ways is awaited for you and this is a good source of opportunity in terms of getting more bitcoin as profit.
532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi and Bitcoin value on: December 29, 2016, 09:02:23 PM
Satoshi for me looks like Banksy, an artist that don't show your face and maybe this increase their art "value", so Satoshi can be here working with other alias... so let's go to the question:

What could happen if Satoshi appears?
If he start to appearing on media and things like that, can pump the coin?
If he's an criminal or something like that, it can dump the coin?

Satoshi is like John Cena, no one can see him (practical joke). I think satoshi is dead, and if he is alive, he is on detain by the government. For experimental reason (how he manage to create bitcoin?, how bitcoin got famous outside his country? etc..) And also if he is alive and not detain by the government. I think he change his name or Satoshi is just an Alias for his name.
I think that Satoshi is alive but he does not want to show himself because he is waiting for the right moment to do so , a moment when everyone is using bitcoin, and just thoughts I think that he is a Chinese and he is running a secret bitcoin mining company, because bitcoin is so popular in china it only makes scene that he lives there.


Satoshi is the smallest unit of bitcoin and if we say 1 satoshi that value would be nothing in bitcoin its more like smallest decimal value of digital currency and you cannot hold it if you converted it to fiat currency. If we say 1 btc then the convertion unit right now is 959.98 dollars comparing to no value of 1 satoshi but if you have more of satoshi like 100,000,000 satoshis of it you can have  one bitcoin value.
533  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Value Predictions on: December 29, 2016, 04:47:44 AM
Can anybody predict what will be the value of bitcoin tomorrow? I mean what actually makes it go up or down? There has to be something behind it right? Can we follow it to learn more about its behavior and also have a better idea and understanding of what might happen tomorrow?
Any experts on such analysis?

In my opinion about predictions of bitcoin value i can say  time wilk come it will reach 2800 dollars in the near future when demand rises and people were becoming more aware of its use. There is nothing impossible of that value as you can see nowadays it reaches 2000 dollars in the past days of bitcoin exchange value thats because bitcoin really influences a lot of people and more and more will use bitcoin as years walk through.
534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Starbucks accepting bitcoin on: December 29, 2016, 02:50:39 AM
-snip-

It's a new service that opened earlier this year so It's normal that you don't know much about them. I'm sure they are legit as the team members are known and their CEO was a former executive on Amazon.com .

Is it available in germany??

I suppose so . The  article didn't say much and only mentioned USD but since the mobile app is the same for all countries , It's likely that It's worldwide and the deposited BTC will be exchanged to the local currency with real time rates.

Thats great to hear starbucks accepting bitcoin as payment will surely gain high reputation to bitcoin because it iliminates slow transactions of payments on cafe's and as long as you have that option of bitcoin payment, that will surely increase market of the store. Hopefully future of online payment like bitcoin will educate people ti adopt for better life and became part of our daily spending.

536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: December 29, 2016, 12:00:33 AM
Hello Guys, I would like to know you're understanding about online gambling and real life gambling. Since here in the philippines online gambling is now illegal. I'm just curious what's the difference about this too. Why make online gambling illegal?
i think all kind of gambling is ilegal and is banned ..
may be online gambling is low risk than real gambling because real gambling will make user wanna play again and again altough my money run out!
i am not sure with my answer because i do not play real gambling  Grin
no mate , not all kind gambling are banned, it is just different policy in each places , each countries, mostly just ban the real life casino as hard to ban online casino , makes a lot of people move to gamble online when they found gambling prohibited.  

that is true gambling online much more safe than have to gamble in real life .

Well my government's starting to hit online casinos. I guess it's just too hard to tax them all.
If they are smart then taxing online casinos is very much impossible since they could be in countries with very strict policies regarding the secrecy of banks accounts and it is possible they chained different accounts making necessary going through several jurisdictions just to get to the money.

The existing policy of every country is different, but I know that online gambling has no tax. So if there is a country that has such a policy then that is a matter that can be manipulation, because online gambling has many network so the Government could not possibly keep track of all the people who use gambling. I also don't understand why the Government made the policy for those who do gambling. But if I know, the Government also does not give a good warranty on all people doing gambling

For me online gambling is better than real gambling using fiat currency, and using digital currency in gambling which is the bitcoin is really amazing because you can use small btc amounts rather that real gambling of casino places. I can bet online directly using blockchain wallets and can make fun with sports betting sites, casinos and any forms of online gambling you want using bitcoin. Real gambling is really prone to addiction speciall young people at young age.
537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin without Altcoin ? on: December 28, 2016, 11:33:39 PM
bitcoin need altcoin even bitcoin can be traded in other currency like dollar
its still help the bitcoin in demand bitcoin will not reach this price without altcoin
some altcoin do their own advertising and user will end up investing in bitcoin
because some altcoin is only tradable in bitcoin 
Well, bitcoin and altcoin may need each other. without bitcoin, perhaps altcoin enthusiasts for very little, and vice versa, without altcoin, bitcoin prices may not be as high as today. Well, bitcoin and altcoin both need each other, and complement each other. so, without both, may be lacking.


Without alternative coins bitcoin could not do options like alcoins trading because it is a form that can be used in trading and its so important because in trading there is possible high profitable investments that is always an opportunity specially for those who wants secure investments. Altcoins and bitcoins is more like partners in all situation without the prescence of each other its not complete at all someone is missing if we are talking about bitcoin, and its more useful in any aspects of investing digital currency.
538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Treasure hunt. on: December 28, 2016, 10:33:53 PM
Maybe theres a possibility you could retrieve your coins in your hard drive but the chances are very thin. Maybe seek for experts from that kind of thing because it not easy to do it yourself only. You already deleted the important files. It will be harder for you those files you already deleted. Thats why professional help is a.must.

I dont think so that recovering your HDD would probably recover your entire file into full file entity because bad sectors in HDD does not guarantee you good file outcome, as with my own experience recovering my personal computer external HD the file was broken and missing some details. Maybe you can recover some but not all of it and the process was too long and chances of recovery is 20% more importantly is i can suggest in the next refresh of your PC HD if you buy new one you must back-up it with another external so that there is always a shadow copy of it, and there you can say totally you can recover everything in full.
539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no competition on: December 28, 2016, 10:02:30 PM
We are living in digital world so all crypto currencies will be prioritized use in next years.
And Bitcoin has been chosen as 1st digital currency. After many years of existing, Bitcoin has been accepted by many people in the world
and it is considered as central digital currency for swapping each other.
Bitcoin has no competition.
As pioneer, bitcoin will always hold the crown. Although there is strong altcoin called ETH. But so many people in the world and deep web which keep use it. I think there is still always competition.
Being the first gives bitcoin a big advantage, but many products have been the first only to be improved upon and then left on the dust by other products, I remember that before the ipods became a thing there were already devices that did the same thing, but then Steve Jobs improved the design and the rest is history.

Yes, i agree with the statement bitcoin has no competition at all because right now no other crypto currency that is declared thats created to have reputation like bitcoin has although there were branches of crypto currencies created in order to circulate bitcoin economy but it doesn't compete bitcoin itself. Bitcoin is created with many advantages in terms of compatibilty to human life specially those with digital world in the internet and online transaction with blockchain security of your online wallet and also for your banking for fiat exchange which is convertible with cash in which you cannot not make easily with fiat currency.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: December 28, 2016, 06:16:51 PM
When you guys are gambling and already doubled your bankroll, do you still play with the whole money you got or you take away half of your bankroll and start playing with your profit or not?
I prefer to play it again because if you play with half of your money and loseit's just a waste of your time, even if your initial money is not lost

If you're playing it for fun, then one should take out your profit and play with your initial amount because at the end everyone going to lose money and the only house is going win. So if you take out that profit then you can use it for next round to enjoy your free time otherwise soon or later you will lose all your money.

Just like what others believe, "you don't gamble to win but you gamble so you can gamble for the next day." But for me it is better if you will going to withdraw your capital and just play with your profit. So that whenever you will lose, you are going to lose nothing but your profit or else you will lose everything if you will not have a wise decision.

Yes of course i will play with my profit most of the time when i won big price because that would be a great opportunity for me to win more lucky bets. Most specially i make sure to it that i knew the strategy of a sports betting that i am playing with to avoid losing a lot of bitcoins because risk is always involved when playing online gambling.
