5921  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Daily use of bitcoin? on: February 08, 2017, 01:01:49 PM
I don't not use my bitcoins on a daily basis because I see them as an investment platform rewarding me in the long run...
Though I use my bitcoin visa debit card when I want to spend some as it gives me some protection from scammers and less complications of waiting for a transaction to confirm.

Not only you there are many people like you are not using bitcoin in their daily life when compared to debit or credit. Right now bitcoin is investment where you can see potential of bitcoin very soon, because slowly many stores are accepting bitcoin through online, but for international people it is not possible to buy products with bitcoin may be.
I can buy some coffee with Bitcoin in my local area because there is a shop accepting Bitcoin as a payment method. I felt very happy for the first time of mylife I can use Bitcoin in the real world. Most of the time, I use my bitcoin for trading purposes and buying/selling goods on the internet. Moreover, I consider Bitcoin as a type of investment and it has bought me a lot of profit
I am waiting for the right time to experience what kind of convenience you have been experiencing, I don't live in big and developed countries, so development will be late there. Despite of that, I still enjoy using my bitcoin, although I cannot buy a coffee with my bitcoin, but I can pay my bills with it and especially I can gamble anytime I want with my bitcoin.

2017 will be a great year for bitcoin, with the price making a new fondation at $1000 mark, more people will begin using bitcoin in their transcation. However this increase in popularity will bring another trouble for example the fee. There's seems to be more increase unconfirmed transcations lately and the recommended fee becoming more ridiculous  Tongue
yeah I think this is the year of bitcoin. for the price of $ 1,000 occurred again in this year. I myself was very surprised when the price could touch and exceed $ 1,000. and you know the popularity of bitcoin rose rapidly because of these events
everyone talking about all positives things without consider there could be a disaster.
the bitcoin financial system is required internet access , and it could be shut down anytime who knows?
no internet no transaction can be made and it is the end of bitcoin , so don't forget to think about bad things that could possible happened.

So  you mean no internet anywhere in the world ?  That is not possible. Internet is an established and all the world business is running online. People are connected online. the only way all the internet does down is that it is the End of the world.  Apart from that internet can never be destoryed everywhere at the same time.
The internet is already a big part of our life, we are using it on a daily basis to transact and communicate with people. I guess this one will not be destroyed, however there are places which has no access on internet due to lack of infrastructure. And, even though they can access they will not be interested with the technology, they are living in a poor country which is the main concern is to do a hard job to survive.

The war on cash by governments has begun, they want to control every amount spend, they will say its about drugs or bribes or crime etc but its all about control. I dont know how long it will take, but sooner or later cash will disappear, maby not in 5 years but they will
That's what government are made for, they will control us to maintain the peace and order. There is no war on cash, it's just part of life already, the government created that for us to use it, if you are thinking that bitcoin will replace it, just forget about that, it will not happen, not even in the future.
5924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: February 08, 2017, 06:52:50 AM
I think most of the time, investing will be profitable in the long-term. What kind of returns can you expect with gambling?
The return yo can get is just the entertainment, we cannot win in gambling in the long run, we have to admit that. Investing is the only way that could give us profit in the long run, this can be possible if we invest on project that we know very well. As we stay longer in gambling, we can find a method that would work and will give us profit, however, for sure it would not last as gambling sites always want to be profitable over us.
Not everyone think that way, gamblers think of the profit and the entertainment in general. We feel it's a good day in gambling when we win but when we lose, it's hard to accept but later we can still accept it as we have no choice, we cannot change the outcome.

Investment needs a good capital, most of us has no decent capital and that resort to a more risky investment, sometimes we also consider gambling as an investment, hoping we can get profit in a short period of time.
5925  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: February 08, 2017, 06:19:35 AM
If there is another real income, then do not worry and keep on bitcoin wallet and do not touch it for the time being. But if it bitcoin income for today's needs, it is best to think of his code to invest today. I am in favor of bitcoin to buy something that can be profitable now. It can be both commercial transport and real estate.

i am sure that there are good investment in out there and we need to find it, i think it will be good to keep our bitcoin and the other side we can still investing with the investment program and we can take the profit and grow our bitcoin more than before.
By investing your bitcoins, you have the chance to double your earnings or you could lose it. For a safer move, I believe holding our bitcoins for long term is the best action, it's risky but at least we will not lose easily, even if the price will fall back again, it is going to rise again as I believe we are bound for success.
5926  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the economy situation in your country that bad? on: February 07, 2017, 07:51:19 AM
I can say that our economy is doing better compared to 10 years ago. According to the government, there are more jobs available right now and the  unemployment rate has steadily been decreasing. I think an indication that  the economy is doing ok is if there are infrastructure developments, there’s peace and order and people are generally positive about their future.
I am happy for your country, but in reality there is unemployment and underemployment in this world in general. That is the reason why poor countries and rich countries exist. Rich countries has given their people good opportunities and they earn bigger enough to live a decent life compared with poor countries. Bitcoin can help solve poverty, not for all but only to those who are willing to risk.
5927  Economy / Economics / Re: First investments in bitcoins on: February 07, 2017, 07:40:58 AM
for me its a matter of time and trust if you want to put your money into something you should know that you are needed to take more time to study and to assess whether its economical or not with bitcoin really making its move to rally up better to double check if how long you are willing to hold and wait and never ever sell it if you are still at loss anything can happen with bitcoin investment.
Yes, a well potential based investment opportunity, never will find an exhausted levels over time. Because growth potential will be unlimited as long as there would be some demand for it. This is what actually happening with bitcoin investments so we never need to worry about the higher prices to invest at right now.

We can keep our trust on bitcoins and we keep on investing more into it.
I agree with you, and at this time, we must start to invest regardless of the amount we have. Bitcoin will continue to progress and we can continue to save as well. The earnings are unlimited if we continue to hold bitcoin, and for sure if you will educate yourself more and be updated withe the development, that will convince you to stay and hold. You will be able to sell then with a good profit.
5928  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Reason Bitcoin will always be #1 on: February 07, 2017, 05:53:38 AM
Is because the name "Bitcoin" is the best name for a crypto-currency.

No other name will be as good.

For me its not about the name, the name is good but the features are negative in the eyes of the community, well that is still useless. The main reason why bitcoin is still number 1 it is because of its unique features, one thing there is good was the anonymity and decentralize, this has been said here for so many times. And I know, many of us like that features of bitcoin.
In real life, there is a so called substance over form. The name carries the brand and bitcoin is a good brand now because the people are making it that way, it was our enormous support that makes bitcoin popular and number 1 actually. With this continue to happen, it will become the origin of the crypto world and the gauge to determine the success of the whole crypto currencies.
5929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: February 06, 2017, 04:09:13 AM
The greed and the desire to get/earn more is the thing that makes it addicting, there is even a body-based reason for that "related to brain secretion of hormones", I guess that's how it is.

Greediness is the real reason why gambling is addictive. When you play dice and you won a lot with your starting minimum amount then that will crave you to earn more and even higher. But of course if there are times that we are lucky, times of unluckiness will come also and when it happens to us, we want to take cover our losses.
Not necessarily, there are people who are desperate in life and they cannot even find a good job that pays them well to live a comfortable life. With this reality, they think gambling is the key for success and it's easy to access and they have seen people who were already successful. I really pity, this kind of thinking, they are ignorant in this world and they really need to learn in a hard way.
5930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Will Kill The Income Tax on: February 06, 2017, 03:45:53 AM
I think it won't happen as long as bitcoin user keep use legal services and government ask every legal services which accept bitcoin to include tax as well which automatically converted to their fiat currency.
The real problem when bitcoin user spend their bitcoin which don't take taxes at all such as non-registered online shop and black market.

Yeah i agree to you. As they said, there are 2 types  that we can never be avoided, the death and the taxes, but some also said that "Death can be avoided but tax can never be avoided" it is quite funny since it is true  Grin, we can't avoid by paying taxes or even the death. Yes maybe bitcoin can kill the income tax but when? for sure it would take a long years to do that. Theres no harm to wait
This will not happen. No government will say "oh look there is this thing called Bitcoin, we should forget about all the millions income taxes bring us and let it be a thing of the past". So there will always be an income tax. Generating income and not paying that is and will be in the future illegal. If you think Bitcoin might help you to not pay it, then this is your opinion, but it is still not allowed and pleas tell nobody anything else. 

Well as you said, we have different opinion, but i guess your right and i agree to you that it would not really happen. Maybe it can lessen it but it would never totally kill the income tax. People either a user for a bitcoin or not, they paid income taxes because it is required.
Probably the government will make a drastic measures just to tax bitcoin users properly, they know our system as it's open to all. There is nothing we can hide that they wouldn't know. Always think that they are in power and we are not, they can do anything that will make us force to comply with.
5931  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I quit trading on: February 05, 2017, 12:25:46 PM
Real simple, start trading here. Seriously though, maybe :
1) Invest in a gambling site, because of the house edge you'll win in the long run
2) Have a look at this post, as I'm not going to repeat something already said https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1153888.msg12165431#msg12165431

Your advice and suggestion is very risky, as we all know that many of the community who tried in gambling site to invest in, they're end up of crying because they've loss money in it. And being a good and expert trader quitting is not their true characteristics, because we have saying that quitter always a loser and winner always win.
Probably, they just invested into a non reputable gambling site, there are a lot of gambling sites here who runs profitable until now and they are in the business for many years already. Just do remember that gambling sites win in the long run and that makes them profitable, we need to mature with the reality so we will not be afraid of putting our money to it.
5932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: February 05, 2017, 05:45:57 AM
In my personal observation,It's pretty hard practice to quit.As myself gambling addiction is one of the hardest problems to stop.But I was tried my best possible way to stop and recover from gambling unfortunately fully not.I thing it's now under my control of and only gambling on my best research basis.
Nobody said it's easy to quit, it's a very sad status in life once you will experience that. However, we do no want to be addicted forever as we know what it can do to our life, and it will do no good to us. We have to work hard to eliminate that negative system in our body, we must quit as our family needs us more than we need gambling.
5933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: February 05, 2017, 04:53:19 AM
Just want know how much the gamblers who use analysis when play gambling and what kinds of gambling game? And do you think it is needed or not making analysis on gambling game or it is depend on lucky. Thanks for share your opinions and experience.
That gambling depends on probability and everything else is random is a fact. But we still don't believe in it, we feel like it should be different. That is why when I play dice and have 50/50 chances to win, if I lose I keep betting on the same (less than some number, for example). If I win I'm likely to change my bet from 'less than' to 'more than'. I know it doesn't make sense but thus I feel like I'm analysing the situation and it's under my control. Undecided
I think you are missing some point here, in my point of view, you cannot have that 50/50 chance to win in dice games. AFAIK, they have the house edge. The figure is unreal, sorry. Better play with skilled based games if you really want to have that kind of chance.
Exactly, if there is a chance of 50/50 the golden words which is "we lose in the long run" would have not been made. This is gambling, the advantage on the house are always present, they will not bother to operate if they do not have any. It's better to know and be educated with the real house edge so we will know the right approach to do.
5934  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Daily use of bitcoin? on: February 05, 2017, 04:44:23 AM
I dont think BTC will ever be used for everyday use, its just too valuable, who would spend it if he thinks it will go +100% in 2-3 years ? I think another alt or 2-3 alts will be used for everyday tasks
There are people who will spend regardless of the value of bitcoin, not all people are investors and I believe there are more volume of people who spends rather than those who invest. I doubt if more people will continue to hold once they see a good price, temptation is around the corner mate.
5935  Economy / Economics / Re: whether bitcoin influence on the world economy? on: February 05, 2017, 04:21:25 AM
Maybe Bitcoin doesn't influence world's economy or production in direct way but the fact that established cryptocurrency with real value is present on the market does have some impact. Banks and other financial institutions are very well aware of this fact and they have started to change their attitude.

Whether they change their attitude or not is debatable. Banks are regulated institutions; their favourite response to change is to run to the regulator crying foul. They may do this if Bitcoin grows too big.
That's what I am afraid of, the growth of bitcoin cannot be stop anymore, the network of people who adopt with bitcoin is getting bigger. In fact, the government are already started to make some actions to regulate the use of bitcoin, some countries ban bitcoin and some wants to take advantage of the people inside, they wants to collect taxes from the people behind the big circulation of bitcoin.
5936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: February 04, 2017, 10:55:27 AM
Orlando Magic will face Toronto Raptors , i will bet for Toronto Raptors to win in this game .
Houston Rockets will face Chicago Bulls , i will bet for Over 210.5 points .
Oklahoma City Thunder will face Memphis Grizzlies , i will bet for Oklahoma City Thunder to win .

Oklahoma City Thunders are coming from some bad results and played(and lost big) yesterday, also Memphis Grizzles is in a winning streak, I think they will win instead.

Also I see an upset(if you consider the odds the bookies are offering) in Houston v Chicago, Houston managed to lose a 20 point 4th quarter lead yesterday, I think things will be harder against Chicago and they may win 
The line seems very obvious, with that kind of line, I guess they are attracting the public to bet on the Bulls but this game will be won by the Rockets with a double digit win. Bulls is good but not as good as the Rockets, hope this time, the Rockets will learn to keep their lead until the game is over.
unfortunately houston wins in overtime with only 4 points lead, its really a good game for both teams and even bookies make some tricks still manage a win for houston, it was a big rally in the third quarter where chicago tried hard but in Ot harden really carried the team.

H-town needs work or else they'd be cursed by the 1st round exits again.
They can only win if they are lucky enough just like what they did in the past, there kind of play has not improve the defense but they improve the offense. Good improvement but not a balance one, they should adjust since playoff is still far, they can do that, they just have to play as a team as they have a lot of talent.
5937  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: February 04, 2017, 07:03:19 AM
im sure it can...but it will take a long time to make bank dissapear...
but make sure that all people know what is btc...in my country just a less people know bitcoin...

In my country, many of my fellow citizens here are not knowledgeable also in bitcoin. However, according to what you had mentioned that bank can make disappear, I don't think it will happen, or if ever will happen for sure all people in the world are much more familiar with Bitcoin.
the bank has a large facility in the world, in addition, the bank also had good facilities at the internet. it makes banks more superior in comparison bitcoin. in addition, the new bitcoin there for several years. although showing posiitf effect, but I think bitcoin will never make the bank disappeared.
Why are we comparing bitcoin with banks? It will not beat bank and replace it, bank is wide and it's controlled by the government. What we can do now is think for the possibilities that might happen in the future, and for me, I would be very happy if bitcoin will be the most popular online payment system.
5938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: February 04, 2017, 06:28:48 AM
I think in gambling no good tactic because it is based on luck. I have tried various methods, but it was all a fraud and since then I no longer believes thatagainst whose name the trick
Not all gambling games are based on luck, some needs to have a skills in order to win, there are skilled based games that will give us a big chances of winning if we can develop our skills and we can rely form on making money. Luck is not the factor that you need to consider when you are gambling for money, you should always rely and trust your skills.
Its depends what game do you play in Bitcoin gambling if dice game it will need your luck but if sportsbetting its required your analytical skill that can analyze if your bet team wins or not.
Skills is necessary when you wanting to win, skills can give you consistency while luck cannot deliver that to us. Why gamblers are addicted because we spend more time to develop our skills. Unfortunately some people despite having a good winning rate, they are too greedy and failed to manage their bankroll.
5939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: February 04, 2017, 06:17:16 AM
I do not understand about trading but in my opinion is very different from gambling. because basically gambling is risky and can not use any tricks. different from a trading using calculations subuah
If you are just differentiating trading and gambling with risk maybe you can check it again because they are both risky. But they are totally different on how it goes gambling is a fast game of money where the chances of losing is fast too but in trading you need to use your skills and knowledge upon on how market moves.
The same thing can also be applied with gambling, we can use our skills and to have a knowledge is necessary. But base on the what we have witness as we are gamblers and traders at the same time, we can tell that we loses more in gambling than trading. So that concludes, trading is easier than gambling in terms of chances to be profitable.

Yes that makes trading easier way to get profit because we know that in gambling chances of winning is like 30/70 but in trading you have more chances of getting profit depending on how you are going to apply those skills you got. I prefer to trade for the profit and I prefer to gamble when I just wanted to have some fun it yet both had risk.
That should be our way of thinking, think that gambling is for fun and trading is for serious business to earn money. Both are hard in terms of making money but we know where we can have a bigger chance. Thinking that we are good in gambling and we can get profit more than the traders, then that is something we need to prove first, we should basing on the record and not just on what we feel we can get.
5940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How did you started to gamble? What was your beginning like? on: February 04, 2017, 03:18:11 AM
Started to gamble when money is not a big factor as well I too was lucky. Later on things got worse when I was in need lost everything as well no backing to play further. But at times used to play with the small amounts got through faucets and signature campaign.
What matters is we were able to learn from our mistakes, usually when we are beginners, we are prone to addiction and due the the entertainment value gambling has brought into our life, we are hooked to it. It was just too late when we realize that we abuse that entertainment and it has resulted to losing of big amount of money.
