521  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why People Can Not Believe Bitcoin on: March 19, 2018, 09:12:16 PM
I think they dont believe bitcoin because they never tried the life changing effect of it. If they witnessed someone that is poor and became rich because of bitcoin then their curiosity comes up and for sure they will try it.

True, people will believe in bitcoin if they encounter and have proof that this is legit and true way to become rich or earn a bunch of money. I think the one reason why people are not believe in bitcoin is because they don't want to take the risk in cryptocurrency instead they choose to earn using their own skills.

Additionally, the capital is another reason, they have no money to be use in investing or trading especially in poor people, they have money for their food and enough to supppory their life, in this case no chances to take the opportunity.

I really think that risk is not necessary to gain big profit, it just comes with it. For me, we take risk aiming to gain big profit but we have a choice if we are going to take that risk. Gaining profit is not all about taking risks but it is also striving hard for that goal to be reached. Risks comes in all form that we do in our lives to survive and it is not only found in methods or ways of earning money, even the way we go to work have risks. It is not needed but somehow it naturally existed and comes with the things that we do to survive as well as to earn money. Our professor in business entrepreneurship always say that real businessmen are  those who are willing to take risk. We can relate these businessmen into traders, they do not just put into risks their money but they give time and interest to make sure that they can gain profit.

I'm sure there's nothing so stupid as to buy something for a high price and sell it back at a low price, surely people will buy it cheap and sell it for a high price, so the difference between the sale and purchase price can be an advantage for yourself. or he gets panicked and can not think straight and go crazy because of his own stupidity
Its not stupidity if i know there are times that you also did that. People are only humans with emotions i will go bet if any successful trader or pro trader reach his goals right now without experiencing or selling in panic. This panic sell is the reason for everything much more a lesson for everyone who tmdid not fully knowledgeable in trading.
True, panic selling is the main reason why people are selling even at low prices. We can try to convince them not to because it is their loss but we cannot control what will be their decision. It is normal to get worried about the money that you have put into cryptos but sometimes worrying to much does not give any good or any benefit. We know that it is a loss if we buy at high price and then sell at low price but sometimes it is not because of being naive that is causing it but because people are just making sure that if coins drop they won't be going down also.
524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: regret by not believing in BITCOIN? on: March 19, 2018, 10:30:16 AM
I regret that i did not heard bitcoin much more earlier but  Its more thankful that i joined bitcoin even if the value of it is or down or up.Maybe if  I  joined earlier I much be rich today and enjoying what I have.
Bitcoin is a big opportunity thats why you dont have to be regret.Chances is there and it is not too late for you to join.
When we first heard about bitcoin, it is hard for us to believe that such coin exists so we end up neglecting it or not giving any attention to it. I saw how bitcoin earning is helping my classmate so I became interested in it again. I also feel the same way on not believing it the first time I heard it but instead of dwelling with that, I pushed myself to work hard because I can really see how beneficial earning bitcoin is.

Bitcoin is still here as well as the opportunity for us to benefit from it, with this we should not regret that much instead we should be more determined to work harder. With cryptos, there are many doors that we can open in order to gain money that well help us as well as our family.
525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know its time to Stop? on: March 18, 2018, 11:45:04 PM
You can't really stop at any time the problem with most gamblers is they never stop they keep on gambling without any limits i would consider a profit of 20% is a lot if you are gambling but many aim for higher profits of 300% which seems to hard go achieve this preference surely varies but if you notice if you are able to earn 20% daily in 5 days you can easily double
We cant stop gamblers in aiming their ambitious profits they want. Its easy gamblers who lose are just greedy or out of luck.

I have seen many post on different website that gamblers are crybabies because they lose on their gambling. If you are a gambler loosing is expected if you play it and the thing you can do is just to avoid it.
That is true, gamblers who lose always whine about them losing money because of gambling. It is hard to understand if why are they being like that when they know that when it comes to gambling, there is no guarantee that you will be gaining back the amount you put on betting. It is our nature to try whatever method that we believe to give us money easily and this why there many gamblers, they are trying their luck if they can go home with good amount of money. But honestly, if you can see that it is not very helpful and not successful, why continue to try? why not just give up and find another way?
526  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why did I lose on trade ?? on: March 18, 2018, 10:46:38 PM
sad for you, you need to learn first about trading before your going trade. there are many things you need to learn in trading so if you buy and buy without thinking then your going to loose your money. you shouldnt sell in when you cant earn profits sometimes patiences is the key to success in trading, wait for it to pump.

Actually you only lose if you stop.
It's pretty normal to lose in trading because no one really make profit consistently, it's a big guessing game and no one is perfect.
Make your loses as your inspiration to improve because the crypto will stay and moving so your strategy should be changing as well.
I think that all of us have experienced losing on this big guessing game. We have all been newbie traders who try to earn and we did our best but sometimes things just won't go the way we planned it. We can't avoid making mistakes but we must learn from this mistakes to become good traders and then successful traders. Losing profit in this volatile market is normal especially if the situation are on red but continuously making mistakes and never gaining profit, there must be something wrong with what you are doing in trading. We know that we don't need money to start in here, by joining bounty campaigns we can start earning from zero balance and our main goal would make that zeros have values. We must strive to learn how to trade well in order to gain profit.
527  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why we may be stuck in the current range for long on: March 18, 2018, 03:56:32 PM
Do not be sure of anything yet in this market bro, it is unpredictable and anything can happen at any time. What we have is the chart and that is what we are looking at to give us the signals to buy back in or to just keep stretching our hands and dipping it in the popcorn bag while watching how everything turns out. I would love the scenario of a double bottom playing out though.
When it comes to cryptos, assurance is nowhere to be assured. Because of the volatile market, we have, people keeps on being interested and at the same time is the reason why people are giving up and selling what they have. There is the may be in the We may be stuck in the current range because people keep on selling even if the price is dumping. We cannot control them on what they are going to do with their coins, it is theirs anyway, but somehow we can help by not being as negative as the others are. Yes, the price is dumping and it is a good chance to buy, other than that let us not try to add with all the negativity already existing.
528  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: has trading become difficult? on: March 18, 2018, 03:02:43 PM
These days the bitcoin prices are rising and falling over 1000$ in just minutes and have become highly unpredictable way more than before.
Does this make trading more difficult right now?
This is a reality, because now every coin is hard to pin down.

Because the market has been falling for a few days, it is not clear when such a haze will disappear.

I've been a little nervous in this bear market, and I'm worried about the future of the encryption market, and maybe this bear market will last a long time.
Something to cheer about is that a falling market doesn't mean the market is threatened as both up and down movements are necessary for the survival of any market. Instead of freaking out,  a trader can do much better by improving on their skills for analyzing and interpreting the market. It's like some people complaining of computers taking over jobs, does that mean there are no more jobs people can do?
Well, people like to talk when they are having a hard time and where they are having a hard time but not much about why.  Smiley We can't blame them because the market is still on red after a few months, when we are hoping that at this point it will be better. We can cheer about the falling market because it is a good time for buying and investing but for me, what is important at this point is not to be affected with this market prices. Most of us are traders here and @Victorycoin has a good idea of what we should do at this time. We can try to woo ourselves with different things (to avoid stress) but spending our time with further studying the market will be the smartest. We have to be smart and be careful with whatever decision we will make and we know that it is smart not sell now. Trading is not getting difficult or harder, it is just the volatility of the coins acting up.
529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin an asset or a currency? on: March 18, 2018, 12:46:56 PM

Seems many people treat bitcoin like an asset given how much it's gone up over the last year or so. But some academics disagree with that assessment. If it is to be treated as a currency, it will need to stabilize to be of use.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/24/nyus-dean-of-valuation-says-bitcoin-is-a-currency.html
I don't think that we should make any argument between the matter that bitcoin is asset of currency Because it depends upon the people that how they want to use and how do they are using .
Personally here I myself using bitcoin like currency as well as asset , i am making micro amount of the earnings and putting them for the increase by value for long time ( holding since 2 year and also making passive income by holding bitcoin ) .
At another side  I am using bitcoin for selling and buying another coins as well as for the buying goods at purse.io and at another sites also which a re accepting bitcoin as a payment .
So don't think/confuse whether it is currency or asset .
We can use bitcoin as an asset and as a currency at the same time. It may not be treated as a fiat currency but we can gain fiat by trading it into our local currencies. Personally, bitcoin is a good asset for me and as an investment especially for long-term holding because its value is continuously increasing. In the future, bitcoin as a digital coin will be put into more use and as a complement with the continuously improving technology too. We do not know what will happen but most of us will certainly wish for bitcoin to be put into more importance like the government recognizing and legalizing it.
530  Economy / Speculation / Re: Keep calm, and take a coffee. A trader said... on: March 18, 2018, 10:21:49 AM

I have always believed that in order to be a successful trader you need to have great talent and good brains. So I always listen to their opinion, and one of the most important tips is to buy at lower prices in the market. That's what I did.

You mean to say that great talent and good brains come from listening to others opinion? Really? LOL Shocked It will just result in more ignorance about cryptocurrencies, you're just depending on others information and you'll base most of your crypto strat to these ones. I'll be damned if you don't blame and spread FUDs after some time.
 

Many people are sharing their experiences in cryptos here and listening to it is a good choice. They share things from their own experiences but we do not have to rely on it because we do not know if it is truly their experience or they are just making stories. I am not generalizing but we have to be aware that there are some who made things up so that they can post something in the forum. Thanks to the merit and moderators, these kinds of posts are reduced. It is much better if we will have our experience and develop our own method or strategy of earning from doing trading. Not all traders become successful, only those who give time and effort in understanding trading and other related things to it succeed. It is our choice if which one we are going to be, just a trader or a successful trader.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you play online casino? if Yes... on: March 17, 2018, 11:25:46 PM
I have a friend that is a traditional gambler and now he's with crypto gambling. Gamblers will just move to crypto gambling whether there is more to offer or there is none. Everyone loves the idea of becoming anonymous while gambling and the comfort of staying at home and there's an ability to gamble and there's no need to go outside. And besides, you are like also gambling to the actual casino's because there are various games that you can play with different casino's and enjoy with it.
And that’s why we have seen a great increase in the number of gamblers in recent times, doing it anonymously is the way most people like especially couples who don’t want their partners to find out they are gambling in the first place.
But what's the use still sites claim to allow us to gamble anonymously but in end ask for kyc for withdrawal
Playing casino online is the worst idea there is no way you can make profit and be anonymous the only safest gambling is dice in general till now no site has every had limit of withdrawal nor they make a fuss if the profit earned is high
Right, though online gambling casino sites give us the convenience of staying at home and being anonymous, there are things still needed to be done before you can actually claim your winnings unlike when playing at casinos. Anyways, online gambling sites certainly increases the rate of gamblers and also increases the chances of getting addicted. With the aid of modern technology, we can easily have accessed on gambling which is not really that beneficial. I also worry about kids who can be influenced, we know that kids have more time to go online and through ads, invitations and browsing the net they could accidentally accessed these gambling sites.
532  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you encourage friends and family to invest in crypto? on: March 17, 2018, 10:27:43 PM
Of course I do, it is one way to help them out from our previous lifestyle.
We are accountable to the safety and success of the members of our family as well as our friends. If we know they deserve to be learned about crypto investment, then they should also have to initiative to learn.
You can teach them what is cryptocurrency and advice them how to invest in cryptocurrency. but don't ever try to force them to invest in this cryptocurrency. it may break your relationship. if money comes between any relationship it will break your relation.

Yeah, forcing them to invest will always end up backfiring. I have been there once and I never tried it again. Introduced a friend, things got awry and then attitude started kicking in. Since I make a lot from trading anyway, I had to buy it back from him at the value he bought it which actually did not shake me and he was actually surprised I did and even made him to start getting curious thereafter.
The thing is that, when you are trying to help people and things tend to change in a short while, they feel you have drawn them into something negative, so best is to give them the gist and let them decide whatever they want to do with the information you have given to them.
Yeah forcing them won't do any good because when things does not go well, they will end up blaming you for it. We don't have to force them to also do what we do, we can just invite them, introduce to them what cryptocurrencies are and then teach them how they are going to earn from it. If they continue to be interested, then you can continue teaching and encouraging them. Honestly, staying in this earning game depends on how they are going to manage their time and themselves and if they fail on doing that, you are not the one responsible for that fault.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: March 16, 2018, 10:45:22 PM
I would like to ask you OP, did you already experience gambling for fun? Coz if not, you can't tell the difference between playing games without bet and playing it with few penny at stake.

It is a different kind of thrill you will feel, the way you play would be different too, you'll always do your best coz there would be no room for mistake when there is a bet.
What a good question you have there @diegz. It is possible that the OP doesn't know the feeling of having fun, getting excited and winning money at the same time. If people does want to have fun only, they will not likely play gambling that much and will just chose online games or any other activities. Since gambling give chances to have both, people will prefer gambling games over online games. We all are different people but one thing I am sure is that we all need money in order to survive in this world and lying around or sitting around while playing games won't give us that.
534  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do You Have Any Fear Bitcoin Might Crash Someday. on: March 16, 2018, 09:48:51 PM
Looking at the rapid growth the Croptocurrency world is experiencing right now, with new and promising Tokens (ONL, ATFS, BERRY etc) being introduced on regarly basis. I actually have a strong confidence that cryptocurrencies would get worldwide acceptance in the nearest future, and with Bitcoins topping the charts of all existing Bitcoins right now, Bitcoins stands to benefit from the newborn cryptos emerging. So if you ask me, I think it is quite impossible for Bitcoin to CRASH.
My fear of possible crashed Bitcoin price is always there. But I don't allow fear to manipulate because I always believe in Bitcoin's potential. Bitcoin had already many crashed experience but it still survives in the market because of the existence of firm believers. And today I can still see an increasing number of supporters. So let us continue support, use and promote this new technology to the community to keep things moving.
Right, we should not let ourselves get affected of the fear that price crashes have. I have been in this community for a year and even if there is a dumped, I would always say to myself that the price will climb up again. Why would I suddenly stop believing in bitcoin if those who have been much earlier than me are continuously believing in it? This dumps is caused by banning news from other countries, fear of hodlers especially the new ones, volatility and etc. This is pretty normal in this kind of industry, what we have to do is be used to from it so that wwe won't get affected easily.
535  Economy / Economics / Re: Still Trading When Red? on: March 16, 2018, 04:08:06 PM
When the market is in red I just hold and observe the market. I dont have the plans to sell all my coins because of definitely will lose if in panic selling. But if I have some funds probably I will buy some to add the coins in my portfolio.
It will be the best option if we know that market prices are on dump. We should not be pressure to sell especially if we want profit, we should maintain calm to avoid unnecessary decisions. Instead of worrying and panicking because of the dump, it will be good to just take advantage of the dump and buy more coins for investing. Market prices will not always be in red, this time will fade away and soon the market will go back to normal. This is how trading crypto works, if you don't have patience you'll surely lose from this playful market.

536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble,boredom,loneliness, grief or lose on: March 11, 2018, 03:11:35 PM
I guess it's not just me that way but almost all the gamblers do it. Gambling when bored and to eliminate boredom, and sometimes stop because of boredom as well. Definitely not all gamblers like that, but mostly like that. sometimes stress disappears after gambling.

And sometimes they forget their stress since other things their thinking, may it be the amount they lose or whether they will enjoy their winnings or bet in again on gambling.  Grin Been in such situation before and it really stresses me that time. Cheesy

It had been proven that gambling can remove stress, boredom and grief since, it is automatic that when our minds is occupied, we forget things that happen around us.  If we are sad or in grief, being occupied with something is a bliss.  That way we can escape those moments of sadness.  Same goes with boredom and worry.  And gambling do this best.
This is what makes gambling more preferable than doing other things like going out with family, relaxing and etc. When people are bored, sad and stressed they go to casinos or play gambling online because it gives this different kind of excitement when playing. Though it is considered as illegal many still cling to it and some become dangerously stick to it.

I gamble but I never treat gambling as relaxation. For me, watching movies at home, playing video games and eating is more relaxing than gambling.
537  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What to do if the prices down again? on: March 10, 2018, 03:59:10 PM
i do not know exactly because it depends on your coins. but if you trust in your coins, let's buy it more to reduce the average price. I think you will have a big profit.
If the coins you are holding have the potential to grow even after a dump like bitcoin and ethereum, then it will be a good decision to continue holding. Buying also at the low price will give another way to earn because if the price go up there will surely be profit. The market are always experiencing this sudden dumps in all coins but there are coins that become very valuable after a long time. We may not be sure if which coin but some shows big potential for growing already even if they are at lower prices so it will be good for a trader to analyze which coin before deciding to buy.
538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if, we advertise bitcoin on T.V.? on: March 03, 2018, 03:18:09 PM
That would be a good idea if that would happen, bitcoin will be known to all of us and I think many investor would love to invest too in cryptocurrency when they known the real about bitcoin.

True, advertising the bitcoin in t.v or online is very good idea to encourage more people to use or invest in this market that the result is increasing of volume and also the price.
I think this will effect a lot on mass people.If we can advertise on television,we can spread the bitcoin to all classes of people.Those who are not in internet,they can know about bitcoin if we advertise bitcoin on television.

But the question is who will be paying for these advertisements. We do not have any company or person that owns this technology. We as investors can however do one thing. We can create a pool for this where every investor is asked for some donation. All the donation received can be used to pay fro these advertisements. As more people start investing in bitcoins after these advertisements, prices will rise. The current investors will also benefit from this as the value of their holdings will automatically increase. 

They need to support their project and give a budget to know the other benefits of cryptocurrency or their ICO. Like others crypto that advertising the uses, like the signature, twitter or other campaign they need to reserve a budget to advertise successfully the project.
539  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Leave full time office job to trade crypto? on: February 15, 2018, 11:55:00 PM
I just quit my office job to have full time in crypto world. I split my time of day to work manything: doing bounty campains, researching good crypto to invest, trading 3 - 4 times per week (not day trading) and may be next time i'll  learn about mining.
Anyone who has been off work like me can share your experiences?

For me, I need both job cause earning money using cryptocurrency is not stable and no asssurance of which time I earn money. Full time job is the best source of income to feed yourself and make sure you have money to be use. Doing both is beneficial, job make sure of income and cryptocurrency gives a huge income or possible become rich without waiting of long time.
540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Rewards: Sell immediately or HODL? on: February 15, 2018, 09:21:35 PM
After 3 month in bounty I decided 50% sell and 50% hold!
For example TIO on bounty distribution costs 1,6$ now 0,37$(

It will be a better idea to sell all the token immediately when the value is good at the beginning as most of the ICO starts with good value once it hits the market then it either goes upwards or downwards (mostly downwards for few months).
I don't agree with that. Not all tokens are better to be sold right after the distribution and the availability in the market because there are coins where after months, the price got bigger. This is the reason why if I have lots of coins I will choose only to sell more than half of it then hold the remaining. This is not a bad idea, I really do think, because in case the price rises at least I still have coins to sell. My friend is also doing the same thing, he holds the coin if he doesn't need to sell and look at him now chilling because whatever happens, he already has savings and still have lots of coins to sell.
