Well I suggest that you use your money elsewhere as Bitcoin right now is not the best investment out there. Also if you look at it even if you are a good learner you will still have a high chance of losing your money. Also the target you are aiming for is impossible for the money you have right now. The money you will risk is not enough for the reward you want. I mean honestly 2 Btc weekly is like a salary of a Manager in a corporation, be realistic with your goals.

Investing in multiple sites is a good option.
The only gamble that is worth a gamble is creating your own business.
indeed, investment is a long term gambling at a fairly lower risk, even if people wins major that would be enough to nudge the bankroll, it does almost nothing to the small investors, for the bold one, if that gambler failed, they would gain back the fund once again.



remember to read their investment policy carefully to prevent investment trap.

Yup investing on multiple websites is a good strategy, If we invest like this, our investment will be safe, and we will get a decent profit. But this is also a risk, and sometimes the sites will go down or they will shut down without informing players. So if you ready to face this issue you can try Investment. To compare gambling, i think to Invest is a better choice.
I don't think investing in multiple HYIP sites are a good suggestion. First off if you put your money in to one the money you invested is the one they use to pay old members. For me it is a form of stealing money to other people. HYIP sites are fake investment they don't really have a real business in growing your money. I rather stay away from those sites than risk my money in putting into one.
5543  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: December 11, 2016, 02:28:02 AM
Couple of sources to earn btc are but not limited :-

- Signature Campaign
- Trading coins
- Doing freelancing work and getting paid in btc
- Solving queries or assignment of college students and getting paid in btc.
- Gambling though very risky.

If a person has value for their time and is having a full time job, I think signature campaigns are the best. Smiley

If you have a lot of free time, trading, freelance jobs and maybe helping people with homework (I really dont support this idea though) maybe good sources too.

I would like to add casino bankroll investments (this is NOT gambling) It is a long term investment and must be done in a legit trustworthy casino  - but it is not for panicky people.
For me signature campaigns are only best for extra money for your income, but it won't be efficient if you work on it full time. Blogging seems to be the best way to earn Bitcoin the only problem is you really need big patience during your early days. It depends on the content you are bringing to your readers. Also you need to make your traffic constant but steadily increasing before you can monetize your site.
5544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: December 10, 2016, 01:17:34 PM
honestly there's a lot of ways to stay away from being seduced by gambling . first start from decreasing your daily bet when you're playing gambling. ive been addicted also on gambling now im trying to stay away from it as soon as possible because its wasting my bitcoin i dont know whats on gambling but when im playing it ilike to win a bigger prize pool thats why im betting with a huge amount. and playing in a long run always led me on losing.
That's because we cannot abruptly quit in gambling, we have to do it slowly but consistently. Reducing your bets is like reducing your crave in gambling and you hope that time will come you will definitely lose interest, you need guidance on that and by doing that it's better if you have someone that inspires you like your family in particular.
yes you're right just like habits on drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes in order to stop your bad habit you will start first on doing it slowly just like gambling. right now im still on quiting stage and i think this method is really effective. and my workmates also advising me to stop this bad habits and spend every bitcoin i have for my future and get my own house than living in a apartment.

When one realizes the impacts of gambling, he could have lost a big amount. Surrounding people will advice but we are the one to decide. One who rely on bitcoin for his living or have a targeted plan should avoid gambling from the beginning than entering into it and then standing in the middle whether to gamble or not.
It's easy for you to say it but it is actually hard to do. You know avoiding using your Bitcoin in stuff such us gambling or fake investment is hard because they are the ones that are widelt available for Bitcoin. When you go to the internet it is hard for you to find where to spend your Bitcoin except for Gambling sites and new hyips.
5545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin transactions - Slow OR Fast on: December 10, 2016, 06:57:21 AM
is it possible that bitcoin will be accepted in local stores, shops etc. since transactions are to slow and customers have to wait until their transactions are verified. And nobody wants to wait.
 Can transactions be seeded up to save customers time or any other way to use bitcoin  at local stores.

Yes there is a possibility to be happen but not now, because the demand of the bitcoin community is totally high at the present time now, slow and fast it depends on the area of the country.
It does not depend on a country because we are transaction in the blockchain only, and it's decentralized so no country interference with the problem of transaction. It will be slow if the demand is huge as more transactions will be happening and that is the only reason.
It's possible to be accepted in a local store, and it doesn't really depend on the area but it also depends on the government of the country and also how speedy the transaction is. It can be hard for the store to be accepting Bitcoin because they don't know yet the legality of it in their country. Also they won't be able to easily track all of the transactions if they accept Bitcoin, they would be switching from computers to confirm the sent Bitcoin in order to confirm the order.
5546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Getting porn sites to accept bitcoin on: December 10, 2016, 03:20:58 AM
It's already done. Last month I see someone post that a porn site is start adopting bitcoin as the payment.
Just Google it you can find it more.

Yeah, this can be used for those porn sites and underage people were be very prone to anonymous transaction specially in age declaration prior payment transaction because there's no hassle with the payment and is very convenience. This type of payment will be more possible to be adapted with a lots of porn sites out there just to gain profit instantly.
Well I don't think that is a good thing for the kids to be able to pay easily in a porn site, although it is better than stealing one of your parent's credit card. Having kids to watch porn let alone pay to watch for it is not a good sign as they started at an early age even wothout sex education. Sex in the porn industry is totally different in real life. Also there is a presence of STDs  that the kids are unaware of.
5547  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: December 09, 2016, 07:34:42 PM
I dont know if at the current moment build a mining farm will still be profitable, but maybe should, if some contrie does invest into those and use the money to upgrade their country, i mean better education, more works, those things, its possible bitcoin make a huge impact at those countries, since i believe the energy is very cheap, just need to be stable to dont burn the miners. But this is something countries wont make, atleas if are making its hiden, otherwise it could damage the bitcoin instead be used for good purposes.
Yes I consider energy as a cheap utility, but the quantity of Hitcoin being mined is less than the price of the current electricity bill of many people, meaning they actually incur a loss not a gain. Also a government would not even consider going with a bitcoin kind of investment as they won't have any people who will accept it in return.
5548  Other / Archival / Re: Do you agree with idea "Bitcoin bank" ? on: December 09, 2016, 06:38:35 PM
Coinbase has recently reported that they have almost 5 million wallets. Even if we make allowance for the fact there well may be duplicates, it is still a lot more than half a million active Bitcoin users as of today. But Coinbase is not the only pebble on the beach, there are a few other strong web wallets out there. As to me, there would little difference between these web wallets and Bitcoin banks should they really appear, at least, in respect to trust
On seeing these much success of web wallets, why not we just conclude people are still looking for a banking systm even with their bitcoins.

People are seeming too lazy to understand the core concepts of bitcoin ecosystem and they want bitcoin similar to the traditional banking system or similar to other online payment processing system.

If this type of trends persist, bitcoin banks will be inevitable.

They are not lazy overall

It simply doesn't make sense to get into all these gory details about Bitcoin setup. If there were nothing else but Bitcoin and no web wallets hanging around, folks would have to learn the Bitcoin basics lest they should lose money. But since there are already fiat banks and Bitcoin web wallets, why should they give a fuck about personal wallets? Other than that, ordinary people are not tech-savvy on the whole but wise enough to understand that they might not be able to properly set up and secure their personal wallets
Bitcoin cannot definitely work in a banking system, for a fact that if they do accept Bitcoin, they won't have any use to it. One way on how the banks earn money is by loaning your money. Do you think a person that goes to a bank will request for a loan of a heft amount of Bitcoin? I guessed not because they will have a hard time finding people who will accept that kind of currency.
5549  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: December 09, 2016, 02:21:36 PM
It would be better if you are going to save it in the bank rather than to invest it online because investing it on some HYIP sites have a risk like gambling. HYIP sites always run after many people invested in their sites, that is why it is hard to invest your money online because you might get scam. Saving it on the bank is more legit compare in your other last two choices.
For me I disagree with what you have said. I have to say sitting your money in a bank will make your money put into wast if you did not put it in any form of incestment. Bitcoin on the other hand is best to be put into your wallet rather to put it into any kind of investment scheme that is in the online. Usually its a vice versa because it is easier to take Bitcoin compared to money.

yes bitcoin transaction is very slow but i think it's better because ensure it's really you or not .and your approval transaction


Transactions are instant. So. Ya. The @OP worded it incorrectly. Confirmations take time but the transaction itself is instant. Did you know credit cards take day/weeks to confirm transactions? What exactly is a better, faster method than bitcoins? Send an appropriate fee and it'll be confirmed in the next block. If you're too damn cheap then you deserve slower confirmation times.
Correct bitcoin is still faster than most other methods of international transactions like Western union, or banks transfers but I think that most people want of bitcoin very fast transactions especially if we are to move to the mainstream and use it everywhere.

But what the guy said in the first quote makes sense. Will the restaurants, stores want to accept Bitcoins as payment method, even if it takes some time to complete transaction? I think people can feel a bit uncomfortable about it.

Maybe the Bitcoin technology can advance a bit more and find a way to make the transactions faster to be completed, what do you think? Would this be possible?
Right now if you add a nice fee you can get confirmation between 0 and 30 minutes I think if we can reduce that time to something like 0 to 5 minutes then we could make payments in places like restaurants were time may not be as tight like in other circumstances.
thats right , Bitcoin confirmation is quite slow thats why other shops has a reason why not they accepts bitcoin as payments to their shops.They accept bank transactions because bank transaction is a instant transaction . They dont need to wait for a couple of minutes to wait for.confirmation.

yup and i think it is the main problem for the economic businessman because they don't want when they make a transaction, they need to wait to get 1 confirmation in almost 30 minutes or so, but they only want to wait for short time while they can do other transaction and this should be improved to be a good enough when the economic businessman wants to use bitcoin.
For me it depends on the situation. Like Bitcoin sending/receiving is ideal if you don't need the money urgently like you don't mind the wait. But if you are waiting in line or in a drive thru then it is actually impossible to be efficient using Bitcoin as mode of payment because it is slow and can make problems for the business establishment.
5551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: December 09, 2016, 01:21:29 AM
the worst mistake ive done in playing gambling when ive bet all of my bitcoins with a low chance of winning i dont know what comes on my mind why i did that but im sure its because of the prizepool that i could get now im suffering and regreting that ive done wish icould get back again my bitcoin and playsafe for now.
It is because you got blinded by the reward and along the way you did not see any of the risk involves or the chance that all your money will be gone. For me gambling will be gambling how can you stop when you did not earn anything yet. Or how can you even get back the money lost from you, that feeling can make you lose more money originally.
5552  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to be international currency on: December 08, 2016, 02:01:27 PM
if this happen buying things and receiving money is so easy because we can send money with out any fee in bitcoin that's what i love about it and bitcoin beginning to be highest currency in all currency thats why bitcoin is so powerful and im still supporting it and encouraging all my friends to invest in bitcoin so they can help us to achieved what we're want to happen in bitcoin Smiley
yes I agree with you. The world will be better thanks to Bitcoin. We can send and receive Bitcoin in a blink of an eye. Moreover, we do not have to pay tax at all. And, of course, if it really happens, Bitcoin price will definitely skyrocket and BItcoiners can gain some profit from it. It is good to know that you always try to teach other people about Bitcoin.
with bitcoin has been transacted almost in every single country in this world
i guess bitcoin is already considered as international/global currency
we just need bigger user community
and wait for everyone to use/adopt bitcoin spread evenly.
Yes it could but think of the bad things it will bring along if they decided to make Bitcoin an international currency. Online scams will rise exponentially, hackers will do their best to steal money, the authority will have a hard time chasing bad people. I don't think our world is ready to go virtual we don't need a new kind of global currency for us to cooperate us one.

But if were lucky we are gonna be hella rich, that is if you just bet right and not on a big amount, also if you are not losing every time you bet because what will happen to you is you will have a a break-even.
5554  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen if we use a one currency only? on: December 07, 2016, 03:01:01 AM
[Edited to make it more understandable question]
What if all nation use only a one currency or one global currency?, What will happen to our world?, What is the effect of every nation's or every country economy?, It can make people's unite each other?Any opinion. Cheesy

I don't know if it possible,because using a money where the one printed is a chinese character or not your government issue is a sign that you are under that system,currency is a sign of a country's sovereignty if you are not using your own money but from other government they have control of your economy and of your people..
It's possible if there only exist one country one flag and one system..
Yes, having one global currency will create problems, one is there will be imbalance in the world as that 1 currency will only have once price some countries will be more richer and some will be poorer. We can't make it happen as not all countries'  government are not friends with each other. All I can say is that it will create more problems than having a solution.
5555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: December 07, 2016, 02:13:00 AM
Nowadays for me the best source of income is trading bitcoin and fiat. Trading bitcoin and altcoin is also a best source of income but there is a risk in it a risk of scam is involved in it and a number of coins often go dump and never come to high value again.

Gambling is also a good source of income but it is especially made for entertainment while the owners of these gambling sites earn a very good income with the payment system of bitcoin.
I don't think that gambling is a good source of income. Because the earnings/losses are not defined or yet to be known daily. If I asked some gambler what is their job, they won't say that they are gamblers, because it is not a kind of job. Gambling is gambling you bet your money in hoping that the odds are in your favor. Gambling will never be a good source of income but it is a good source of entertainment.
5556  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: December 07, 2016, 12:58:40 AM
Saving is usually best for short-term goals which you want to achieve in five years or less. This can include saving for special items or occasions such as a holiday, wedding or car. It's also useful to have savings which you can get at quickly in the event of an emergency or if you need access to your money at a set time. Over time, inflation can have a big impact on the buying power of your savings. To achieve potentially higher returns you might want to consider investing. Many investments involve investing in the stock market and so are higher-risk. But potentially the stock market can produce better returns over the medium to longer term than savings accounts.
Savings accounts don't really offer much in terms of yearly interest in fact by just buying bitcoin and holding you could obtain in a few weeks or months as much as you would have gotten have you left your money in a savings account.

Savings account is only created for those people who want to save their money in the bank and in return for the money that you will be depositing to the bank they will return some interest which is just like a bonus. And the best thing to invest today is with bitcoin because the price now is keep on increasing and by just saving you have an instant investment.
It is not a bonus the banks are offering you that interest because the lending your money and obtaining profits out of it the problem is the current interest rates are very low that is why most people are interested in looking for investment opportunities.
interest given the bank is very small only 1% -3% per year or even less than that, but if you're just aiming to save money alone, the advantages of small interest that will still be beneficial
1%-3% is a huge jump in what you see from a majority of banks, first world for the most part anyways. Banks around me at most offer 1.055% interest, and those are accounts with hefty sums in them, something like $100,000+ if I remember correctly. Most accounts offer between 0.555% and 1.055%.

Anything where you can get a projected return beyond that of ~2% is by far a better investment, in every single case.
I don't know but I can't think of any kind of savings account in a bank that can actually make your money be in value in the future. Inflation rate right now is bigger than any interest in a bank, what you are actually doing is you are making the bank rich while they are slowly stealing away your hard earned money. If I were you I would look at different investment plans that are actually better than any bank.

Depositing real money in gambling  Grin

I like it. Short but sweet. Lol.

Whatever reason you're here discussing in the gambling section, I think you should be more detailed on your answer. Have you deposited real money? How much was it? Do you regret it?

I feel that way.
Maybe because he is playing in a gambling site with free Bitcoins. I have played only in gambling sites that giveaway free bets, Bitcoin and random bonuses you can have in the site. For me depositing real money into one site can signify 2 things, 1st is that I am addicted into the game and 2nd is that I am losing my bets. Both of which are not good, Because it translates too that I am having a lot of time playing with these sites.
5558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to hack your bitcoin from your wallet? on: December 06, 2016, 11:54:19 PM
It really depends on the security of your wallet, becayse I assure you that Bitcoin won't just nagically disappear in your wallet. However your password in your wallet can be retrieved by anyone if it is easy, because anyone can reset your wallet if they all know your security questions. Also I recommend wallets that send you text messages with codes on it in order for you to access your wallet from other devices.

I am not really attracted to Bitcoin, but back then I am looking for ways to earn online and all I get is paid to click sites or I am force to answer Surveys in which it pays so low. But when I found out about Bitcoin it open a lot of possibilities because many people are willing to give free Bitcoin in exchange for just your time. Just like Sig Campaigns in which we promote their site or service every time you post, and I am grateful that there is a thing called Bitcoin.

It seems like Vincent Koziello is in the radar of Milan. Every time I see A.C. Milan having a target Arsenal will follow them and I don't know why. Honestly if Milan wants to win they might seriously consider in transferring veteran rather than purchasing a youth who has potential. A.C. Milan's Champions League drought won't be over if they focus on young prospect with the exception of Riechedly Bazoer he is a good prospect because and a good talent to come with.
