I dont know if this guy "Chamath Palihapitiya " invested most of his funds and accepts bitcoin.

It kinda tells you something, so I pretty probably follow the same advice considering bitcoin being gold 2.0 like he seems to mention.

So for me, I`d play copy cat and invest my retirement account to bitcoin.

I would be careful with that, atleast diversify into other cryptos.

Dont put all eggs in 1 basket. Try out Litecoin ,Dash, NXT and others, they can be promising too. Just keep the risk small, because the returns will be huge.

Its true that what you said about that bold part. But for other cryptos like you mentioned before is kind of late if you just start to make the investment  now because the price is already higher and may be you will get a little profit or may be wont get anything by investing in it

5723  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gaming on the Blockchain on: May 21, 2015, 03:19:42 PM
its a good thinking.on the contrary, people might confuse the gaming with gambling.earning bitcoins with gaming is good but gambling for bitcoins is not a great deal. and would we lose the bitcoins if we lose th game , as in a bet ?

the gain must be set in relationship with the skill, in the sense that it should not be too easy to earn some coins, otherwise it would lead to easy dumping, so you if remove the lose of your coins in-game, then you need to make the earning harder

look at hyper, you need 200 kills for just 1 mere hyper, which has a value of 10k satoshi

But with that low of payout I dont think it worth to play this game and wasting your time and its hard to do, some people will prefer to do faucets with clicking captcha, its easier to do especially with using bot or imacros that make them easier and fast to earn bitcoin

Is it wasting your time, if you enjoy the game and were going to play a game anyway?

How is getting a faucet bot made or doing captchas, while dealing with popups/ads galore (worrying about getting a virus) easier to do than playing a game?

I think it people are interested in this, they should check out HYPER... since there are fun games to play that let you get Hyper (and a few other cryptos with the DragonKnight game) just for playing. Plus you can stake the HYPER you get for more. Unlike faucets, that require you to come back every few minutes or hours to get more. You can play a game, get some HYPER, hold it in your wallet, and not do anything for a few weeks, and have more than you started with. (IMHO, that's much better than faucets)

Dragon Knight 2, I got a few dollars worth of HYPER so far, while doing non-stop faucets in the same time period would probably get me 1 cent worth of Bitcoin.

Altough if Im enjoying the game but the time is not worth to waste because the payout is only 10k sat but with faucet it will earn more than 10k sat and I think the time we used is faster than 200 kills. So we spend a little time but get much sat so I think its worth enough. I didnt say that the game is boring or hard to achieved but this is just about the payment

About this button - for me is working when I click a button in the upper parts.

But I still can't click it. I just can click the number and changing it. Can't do much about that down button

While they are fixing your problem (i hope), you can usee hotkeys like + and - to increase and decrease the number (i saw this at https://pocketdice.io/faq Hotkeys section).
Good solution! But still the situation is strange ..

@apollonin - what browser do you use?

Google chrome

hmm.. me to, on my end everything is ok (just this that i have to click on upper side of button) I don't know where can be problem.. Let's wait for support opinion..

Why only me get this problem? I change my mozilla to chrome and still I can't click on that lower button but let them to fix it. Hope they will fix it faster because I dont feel lucky about clicking the number to change it. I try using faucet to play and so many lose. I just feel like pressing up and down button better for my luck Grin

You are not the only one who get this issue, I also get it especially when I'm in poor internet connection.
But when I'm in good connection, the button is working as well. So I think this is just about connection. Have you tried to play in better connection? If you still get the same issue when you have better connection, so it could be other problems on your end.

Yes I already try any method that I can but still the button doesnt seem right to me. And there is no updates about my problem here, the admin is not making any posts about the issue
5725  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin dead? on: May 21, 2015, 02:50:43 PM
But if we tell to every people that we know the bitcoin and we can explained to them clearly they can use bitcoin and also they tell them with their known people. Now if we do this i promise that bitcoin users will grow within a month.

And how are you gonna do that? Tell everyone to believe in you about this bitcoin is not easy task to do. I dont think each of your family believe in you about this bitcoin because their mindset is telling them that this bitcoin is already like a ponzi things. We just need to change their mindset about their perception about bitcoin, with this we can grow our users in a month
5726  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?! on: May 21, 2015, 02:46:24 PM
just to buy low,
and then they call to da moon

and then again low-moon-low-moon...

The short term price will fluctuate, but long term price is up if bitcoin is adopted in business.

But they dont adopt it easily in business because bitcoin need some regulation to make it clear that we can use it for businees and that must wait for the government to make the regulation so I dont think the price will go higher in this few months or years. The short term is fluctuate but if you can predict it by seeing the graph I think you will get some daily profit
How you will sure that the bitcoin price will go higher in this succeeding months or years? You can only predict the price of bitcoin by its demands and supply. And do you think government will make a rules or a law about bitcoin? And we all know that government are not fully adopt the bitcoin.

If government allow it in some countries so the price will have a chance to get higher. We just can wait for government to allow this and make this bitcoin good enough for some traders. I guess for some countries their government is support their bitcoin thing so I think they will make some rules for bitcoin itself

But they dont adopt it easily in business because bitcoin need some regulation to make it clear that we can use it for businees

BTC doesnt need a regulation for it to be used as payment options. Basically regulations depends on each goverment, on the other hand some government are supporting and some banned BTC in their country. Having some regulations means that BTC is bowed to the goverment which is not the purposes of BTC to be a decentralized currency.

All people need is not a regulations but education on how better BTC is against FIAT. Some people just dont know how BTC is better and it can be change

If there are no regulations for the payment method or other things about bitcoin I dont think the government will support about this bitcoin in some countries. They will support this bitcoin when it comes to some profit that government can "eat".

Gambling is not strategy cuz house always wins.
Investing is long term good strategy.

Trading is always good so pick one.

Gambling sure is not strategy but gambling have some strategy to win sum of your money but it will not always worked because it will depends on some of your luck. Investing in a long term thing to do but it is not a good strategy to get your money back and it has a higher risk so it will have a chance to run away your money too so have a good pick for your investment. About trading I can't give much info because the price is volatile so sometimes you will get profit and sometimes you will lose it

This. Time is money.
Of course everyone, or almost everyone could be able to save one dollar from this current monthly expenses, but so what? It doesn't change anything. You would need ages to have something worth investing in, and like you said before, during this way, you'll probably need that money for something vital, which means going back to 0 and no investing for you.
Being born poor is a trap. A total scam.

The very best method to saving money is to create a Budget. Shocked Shocked Shocked
With a budget you figure out what your income is and what your expenses are.
Once you know these two things, you can look for ways to reduce your expenses or increase your income to allocate an amount of money that you can afford to save.

Well budgeting is great but some people barely have enough to feed themselves and if you have more going out than coming in then you're in real trouble and debt enslavement comes in.

If that is the problem may be they can start with have some saving first and not directly go for budgeting. Some people sure will need some saving to have enough money so they can do their things. May be they can start from a low earning first to make a good saving after that going to next level and do that step by step

Mine Alt, Sell Alt, Keep BTC.

Rinse

Repeat
+1
As simple as that: spend some time with your signature, make some money out of your house, invest it mining Alts, sell, and repeat the cycle. This days BTC price is low, you need to move yourself more than some years ago  Cool

I dont think that will be that simple. Lets say that signature campaign is simple enough to make money, we just need to spend some of our time to post constructive posts but how about mining altcoin? I dont think that is work for a newbie because its hard to do mining altcoin and then find the right time to sell it
5730  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Cost of Bitcointalk Accounts. on: May 21, 2015, 02:19:39 PM
u should be careful when buying bitcointalk accounts as some have been banned several times. don't be surprised if u buy an account and get a 2month ban a few weeks later.

So how to identify the account was being banned before or not? Because when we deal the price with the seller they sure didnt want to give any description about being banned or not so its impossible to be careful too since we dont know anything about which id is he going to sell
5731  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: May 21, 2015, 02:14:49 PM
Save money is a bad idea, it like you lent your money to rich people, and make them more richer. Find a right way to invest your money, you can earn more.

How the hell is saving money a bad idea? You don't have to keep it in a bank, and investing your money just for the sake of it is a good way to lose it all especially if you don't know what you're doing.
hahah its not good to lose your money that you hard work for it. Theres some investment that have a low risk so that you will assure that your money won't be lose. But saving is not a bad idea.

If it lose for the investment I think it will worth because there is a chance that you get back all of your money with some interest or may be to lose all of it and get the experience so I think both of it will worth. If there is a risk your money must be on the bet so it will lose anyway altough it has a low risk on the investment because we can't predit anything what will happen in the future
But he didn't say that lose in investment he only said that loss your money in a nonsense thing. If your money loss in investment its ok, because at lease you have experienced and you know what strategies and you can now success in your investment.

You didnt understand me at all. I said that earlier and you post the same about what I said before. I said if he lose his money on some investment that will be ok because its worth enough. So what is the point your post?

just keep in mind that trading altcoins is not "exactly" like choosing stocks and other markets for that matter. you will see some coin being pumped out of the blue and people triple their investment in a blink of an eye or lose their investment as fast as they invested.


Trading altcoin is hard to do. But I guess there are many people out there doing altcoin trading and get a lot from it. How did they do that? Like choosing what altcoin should be pumped and which one should be dump?
5734  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC in your country on: May 20, 2015, 06:14:31 PM
I’m from Australia. A lot of my acquaintances have hear about BTC, but almost no one use it because they think bitcoin is a scum or they don’t understand it.

I once told my Economics teacher about bitcoin and she ended up asking me whether it is a scam or not. I told her about the coin's price volatility, the ATH that happened on November 2013, and the bad stuff about it among others. She couldn't comprehend to the technical stuff about bitcoins so I went on explaining it the noob way. Different stuffs, concepts, pros and cons about bitcoins and in the end, she'll end up asking if it's a scam or not. Sad Maybe people aren't ready yet on accepting new things and concepts that are against the norms of this society.

I think there are too much easy money out there like ponzi and everthing that come out suddenly or if they havent heard before they will relate it to ponzi so nowadays people is lack of believing things like bitcoin too. I ever asked my friend about this bitcoin since he never heard it before and he started to say this scam and everytime I play or post something he will force me not to play this again. So I think we need to change their mindset about what bitcoin is

No, I don't think bitcoin is dead. I believe bitcoin is trying to make it's way into the world economy by slowly establishing a steady market price. I mean look at it, it tried so hard at 400-450 mark, then 300-350 mark. Now again struggling at 200-250 mark. Hang tight. BTCBTC

With your statement some people will assume that bitcoin will fall for sure because the price is going down and down and you just hope the price will stable in a lower price? I dont think that will make sense because in every aspect bitcoin will raise no matter what. Just see from the technology, bitcoin is step forward from our fiat. That is proof bitcoin will never die and will continue raising the price to the maximum
5739  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin trading strategy on: May 20, 2015, 05:30:54 PM
The best  strategy is buying now and never sell it until the price going to $10000. You can't think the price is only $200+, right?

This is known as a long term strategy in BTC trading but as you know that this strategy is quite risky especially with the current state of the price where you can see that the price is declining day by day.

Your prediciton is a bit off there as no one could ever guarantee that the price is going to raise up because all we can see that the market itself is now controlled by pure manipulation of some group of whales.

Not to mention that satoshi himself said that there will be either alot of BTC transaction in the future or nothing.
This actually indicates that satoshi himself is not even sure about the future as things might happen

shorter strategy is risky too and more dangerous than just holding, also is less newbie friendly, you need to be a little professional to do it well

satoshi said that because for him bitcoin was still a test, i would like to know what he would say now...

Not really. Since there are two kinds of short term strategy here. The one that you mentioned is about day trading which need the skills to read graphs and the ability to take on profit for every margin of buy and sell .
The other kind would be a short term strategy which doesnt require the ability to read graphs or so. I.e buy 1 BTC at $235 and sell it tomorrow for $1 would be a great turn of profit.

The long term strategy on the other hand require much longer time and much more difference before someone willing to sell like almost difference of $25 before people willing to sell it because they thought that it is not worth it and of course lack of time to check the prices as well

P.S : Test or no, BTC has change a lot of people's life. Im grateful that I have the chance to know about BTC  Wink

Yes that is for a pro to read graph easilt, but not every people can read it easily and you must need some skill to read it anyway. And about the long term I guess some of them is trying to stack it as much as he can then he will sell it for the good price, not in this volatile price for now so long term strategy is a little bit hard to do, its better to get the daily profit its safety. I think everybody that play this bitcoin say that they are grateful because it changes their life for sure  Grin
5740  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best place to advertise my future gambling site! [Advice] on: May 20, 2015, 05:22:26 PM
you are at best place already for promoting bitcoin related business
run signature campaign and buy forum advertising to promote your bitcoin gambling website.

Yes this is the best way to advertising his gambling site but with running a signature campaign I dont think it will be so easy because with running signature campaign you must hold a lot of bitcoin to support the member, if the payment is not competitive enough no one will join the signature campaign and its hard to advertise his gambling site
