5941  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NEO or litecoin on: June 28, 2018, 12:10:08 PM
if I definitely choose Litecoin, because the price will be higher in the future than the price of NEO.
I dont think litecoin will show much growth in the future. In recent months, it hyped because of the news of litepay being launched, but as we all know litepay was a failed project and it has already ceased to operate due to problems of liquidity and financing.

If LTC continue to fail, its investors will soon lose trust in it and move to some other well established crypto. LTC needs to upgrade its technology in order to stay alive in the market.

Coins received with airdrop I usually leave on my wallet.  Let them lie down and may in time cost dearly and I will sell them. They are obtained with minimal effort.  But I sell coins from bounty companies right away.  It is a pity then the time spent, if after entering the stock exchanges, their price will go down.  It is better to sell immediately.
It’s no harm even if you leave your airdropped tokens untouched in a wallet and wait for it to grow in the future because usually the total amount of the airdropped tokens is not more than 5-15$. If you are lucky enough, some coins might rise in future and multiply your amount.

Even I sell the coins that I receive from bounty campaign, because airdrops are free, but we have to work for bounty campaign and we can’t afford to not get paid for it if the value of coin falls in the future.

do you experience that after losing on gambling that you thinking you will quit gambling for good and never come again to gambling but then next day you are already positive  that you could win in gambling?

that happen to me a lot when i lose in gambling but a could never leave gambling. Cheesy

Yes I encounter that kind of situation. The next day I am already full of energy to gamble again. "Another day, Another Hope". But I choose not to be in that situation again not because I am afraid to feel that way again but not to lose too much money.

You cannot leave gambling maybe because you're too much engage with gambling, you're already addicted to gambling.
I am not regular gambler because I never gambler for making money, I just gambler for fun and this never happened to me. Almost every gambler in start think that he should never gambler again when he loses his money for the first time but gradually he become addicted and then he cannot control his gambling addiction. This is bad thing in gambling.
Good for you that you at least consider gambling as fun and you simply are not a regular gambler. Not being a regular gambler or taking it as fun actually still does not guarantee not being addicted, the control of the mind to never lose that focus or to take over those impulses are the things that actually counts. Gambling generally comes with this thing that plays in your head most of the time, to just go on, and it is left for you to stop the voice from playing. Happened to me in my few months of gambling and I just had to work it out with my mind, soul, body and everything to quickly opt out from those thoughts.
Never quitting is in case of regular and addiction for gambling. When you are regular gambler quitting will be difficult because it is like drug addiction and leaving is not easy. Regular gambler gambles till the end when he lost all his money and has nothing more for gambling then he quits but for the time being and not forever.

I think the people who have tried gambling just two to three times in their lives, they also would feel a lot of difficulties in leaving the gambling for good sake because of this greed that is present in the nature of the person from his birth, so how can we say that the people who are regular gamblers for years would easily leave gambling for good.
5944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Whats your favorite game? on: June 27, 2018, 10:42:13 AM
Gambling on sports is really fun when its Playoffs or a really important game, never liked betting on friendlies or regular season games. When I dont see anything on the Sports World that I like then I go and play some Poker against other players, BlackJack is pretty fun too when you play on a real casino and not on a digital game.

Sports betting is good for fun and soccer is my favorite sport. Recently there is a big event, world cup 2018, which attract more people attentions. I do betting while watching the games with some of my friends.
Sports are also a way and gambling is involved in sports and especially in cricket and football matches. Currently the sight of gamblers is on the football stadium in Russia where a big event has taken place which is called FIFA world cup. We have watched tough matches between countries especially the tough match few days ago between Portugal and Spain, I enjoyed that game the most.
Bets are often placed on these sports because these two sports are the most popular among all other sports that are being played on this planet earth. One more thing for which there are more people caught who have interest in this type of betting and that is because this betting is a little bit easy to play and one can use his knowledge to win the game.
5945  Economy / Speculation / Re: Curiosity of bitcoin prices in the future on: June 26, 2018, 10:02:43 AM
Will bitcoin prices rise beyond 20k in the future, and whether bitcoin will only stabilize at a price of 8k - 10k and it will be difficult to exceed that price.
Ofcourse it will be rise more than on that and many people would become richer as well in this year we will see on how long the bitcoin price would be and I know this is the last year that we will see the price of bitcoin is lower so I'm excited to happen this kind of scenario.
The value of Bitcoin has been shocking us and may continue its surprises in the future but all we need is to apply and obey the market rules so we will never go towards danger zone and will be getting profit with the passage of time. Let’s take the example of previous year as the value rolled in a low market and suddenly shocked people with its value at 20k dollar and this year it may give us surprise.
5946  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason we pay taxes and why we should on: June 26, 2018, 09:31:18 AM
Paying taxes is an obligation of all citizens, to make the country better the course we must be concerned with paying taxes, if the country has a large income from tax then all social services like education and health are free.
It is pertinent to take into consideration that taxes play a crucial role toward the progress of humanity. It is also important to learn how could it be of great help. It makes us better citizens, helps build a stronger nation for its people and the future generation that will follow.
Tax is possible to implement by the government if we are the owner of assets. Here we are talking about the cryptocurrency on which some governments want to implement taxes but it is totally irrelevant and impossible because the currency does not belong to them and is decentralized so they have no right to implement tax as it is a currency moreover a decentralized cryptocurrency.
5947  Economy / Economics / Re: A cryptocurrency with volatility can't be used as money on: June 26, 2018, 08:32:48 AM
I'm just reading an article in the newspaper. Klaus W. Wellershoff (a last chief in UBS Bank) says that's impossible to use a currency with volatility as money. If the value of the money decrease, that means the value of the merchandise decrease. For example : if you buy a flat with bitcoin and few years later the bitcoin value decrease... Your flat lose his value as well.

What do you think about this argument?
First of all, who was trying to make use of Bitcoin as a country’s currency. Bitcoin is not a currency. When we mention the word CURRENCY we mean like Dollar, Pounds Sterling, Euro, Rupee, Yen, Peso and the rest of them and not Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is what we call (crypto)currency and that includes Ethereum (ETH), Ripple, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and the rest of them. They are completely different and Cryptocurrencies can’t be used as a country’s currency.
5948  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Never Be greedy! on: June 25, 2018, 07:52:13 AM
It's okay to be greedy as long as you know that the coin you bought will pump but when you just bought it for sake of buying and you got lucky it pump then I guess you better sell it right after making profit.
Let me tell you about it, as we know that all our wishes in this market is a wish of getting profit from it and nothing else. We should not enter into any market if we do not know about its work and function and making of product. You have to enter once you get knowledge of the desired market and come to handle everything which will make you survive in the market. so do not start unless you do not get knowledge.
5949  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What amount did you start to trade? on: June 25, 2018, 07:21:22 AM
i started trading with about 80$ i realized from airdrops back when it was all good...  I have almost doubled it before the bear trend set in
I started with a minimum amount and got some good market experience. Once you have some good market experience, you are able enough to invest big. This has a benefit that if the prices rise, your marginal benefit also rises because you have more units.

The decision to sell in the end also matters. If you are wise enough to recognize the point in time that maximizes your profit when you cash, go for it.
5950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Wish I never bought altcoins on: June 23, 2018, 08:18:01 AM
Indeed bitcoin is the best investment in my opinion, especially in the long term. But if you mistakenly bought not profitable alcony don't worry, maybe they too will grow up.
Well I think altcoin is not that bad either. Rather altcoin is preferred by investors and is always a part of their portfolio. This is a step towards the diversification of your assets and this diversification helps a lot and keeps you away from risk. It rather shares the risk.

Besides, you can also earn good short term profit with altcoin. If the current market is red or down, it does not mean altcoin has lost its power. Just wait and cash when it is boom.
5951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: June 21, 2018, 05:26:43 AM
What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?
Hahaha this is some awkward question but this tends to happen in some or most of the gamblers in the world. They will gamble every bit of their money and the only they will left is their money for transportation.

I, personally experienced this when I am losing in gambling and my only money that is left is for my transportation. I choose not to gamble it anymore. I don't want to gamble my last money anymore. What if I lose? then I don't have money for transportation and therefore, I cant go home.  Grin

If I were on that situation of course I will stop getting involved in gambling. I will divert my attention into something else especially to my son.

As a parent it is not so easy to have money in an instant because the value of bitcoin fluctuates and it is not stable. If you have an emergency (life and death situation)and you only have a small amount of money, it may lead to something that you cannot change and regret it forever. Being a parent you have to choose your son over your pleasure because its the real meaning of being a good parent. I will tell my wife to control me if I really want to gamble.

If you experience lots of lose in gambling, I recommend you to stop step by step because nothing is impossible if you really want to change your life.
When you even have a lot of responsibility to take care of, most especially when it comes to you having kids, then, being responsible in any act will be the most important thing to do.

Asides that though, someone with common sense who does not think gambling is where he would end up making it in life by hitting it big, will know that is a bad move to make. Only those who are looking for what they cannot find in gambling will end up in situations like that.

Eehm… if I’m right, every currency is volatile, the only difference is that Bitcoin too volatile than every other currency in the market. Bitcoin can’t be used as a country’s currency, not because it is volatile, but because it doesn’t have what it takes to be a real currency (all cryptocurrencies can’t be used as a country’s currency).

Take a look at conventional currencies, they can be used both offline and online, but cryptocurrencies can only be used online. Conventional currencies has lots of qualities that makes it much better than cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrencies are meant for investment and making transactions 🤔 hope I’m right.
5953  Economy / Speculation / Re: The future price of bitcoin? on: June 20, 2018, 11:56:41 AM
I'm sure bitcoin has a good future and will continue to grow with prices that always go up every year so if buying and investing in bitcoin will certainly be very profitable and I think long term investment will be more profitable
We have observed the ups and downs in the past but besides we have noticed and observed its recoveries and improvement. The Bitcoin will soon recover just like it recovers in the past many times so same will happen this time. The current price of Bitcoin is 6.4k dollar and this is the most favorable time to enter into the market which will be much benefited for a person and will lead to a high market soon.
5954  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tired of checking charts on: June 19, 2018, 10:32:50 AM
How do you guys keep up with the charts?
 Can't even sleep well anymore, if I stick to holding is it possible to make gains too ?
Don't focus in a chart everyday because it will make stress because of what you see in the market.  Yes everyday the market price is changing but it will not rise in one night it takes time so don't frustrate your self to keep your eye on the charts.
Exactly! From Forex to stock to other assets, there is bound to always be fluctuations here and there and I really do not get where a lot of people usually get the assumption that the market will just keep facing one direction for ever. Anyone who cannot even cope with the fluctuations should not even be here and this is the basic effect the idea of concentrating more on the short term usually has on a lot of people.
5955  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you trade? on: June 19, 2018, 10:03:00 AM
I always look to the coin which has the highest volume and coin that still not increasing but decreasing. I think that it has always a high chance that you will gain
Normally, any coin in a huge dip and that really has a long pull back from the previous ATH will always have a good chance to grow but the truth in most cases is that we cannot really know how far some of them can go in most cases.

Some will do well, some may not give much of the push and this is the reason why diversification most times is very important as you tend to spread the risk and profit rather than putting your eggs all in one basket.
5956  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance about to offer Fiat-Crypto Trading. on: June 19, 2018, 09:27:32 AM
Yeah, it is really going to be great. It seems the crypto world is gradually entering a moment of no return already with all the exchanges with regulation hitting the point where fiat trading against cryptocurrency is gradually becoming a thing.

Bittrex had theirs announced recently even though it is still limited to corporate traders which eventually is promised to be opened to all traders and with all these kind of development, I believe things will get better in the long run for the cryptocurrency space.
5957  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Big gains come with big losses on: June 18, 2018, 11:41:37 AM
actually correct and  that's truth, people lose them their asset because of lack of experience and knowledge how to moves cryptocurrency as high fluctuation volatile  currency, the is came from the mistake because they can't control of theirs self during the price is in the dip. wait again for the opportunity to get earn profits if the price goes gain again in the market.
This is the time to get out from old perceptions and to look forwards towards our trading with upgrading from less valuable coins into high valuable coins. Even if you lose in the start it does not mean you will earn next time as all you need is to change your false ways of trading. On the other hand your profit is confirmed if you work on your mistakes and make it absolute in your good.
5958  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the risk necessary to make a big profit? on: June 18, 2018, 11:08:47 AM
People who take risks, whether they make a big profit or lose a lot of money. and I think taking the risk is always necessary to make the biggest profit, because there is always a risk involved with the trading field, and you do not know whether the price will go up or down for a coin or token
Making profit in the market of cryptocurrency is very easy if one knows the tricks and processes involved in trading and investments in the market of Bitcoin or other best coins like Altcoin and Ethereum. Risk is everywhere even in the traditional old trading and investments which is controlling by trader or investor, if business person is a wise and knowledgeable person of market then there is no risk.
5959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Whats your favorite game? on: June 16, 2018, 10:33:42 AM
I like to play poker and occasionally play dice when it is getting enough profit
Do you really get enough profit from these games? I am really shocked to see this. I have never been to gambling, any casino or online thing, but I am damn sure about it to be problematic for us. So if you just play poker or dice game or any other, this just goes against your advantage. Get yourself awaken and never ever go for an option that has such bad effects for you at the end of day.
5960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: June 16, 2018, 10:00:55 AM
Some people think that strong feeling affect the outcome of your bet. But for me its all about luck., what do you think guys.
As a gambler myself, there is no amount of positive thinking that affect your edge in gambling. If it is true then nobody will lose because  everybody would think positive then. For me it is always luck that makes you win in gambling specially in cards game. With gambling in sports like basketball, statistic is the factor on which team to bet.
Yes it is true that luck has a big participation of winning but a positive mind is a big help too. If a gambler thinks positively he/she could have a peaceful mind in a game. He/She can think smartly of what is the best thing to do. Can plan many ways and strategy. So positive thinking for me affect the edge in gambling.

It's good to have a positive mindset in gambling, but its no assurance that it will bring your winnings at the end. So I would say that its good to have it, but's its not a recipe because it is still luck. The outcome must be in your favour, early and you might think that your positive thinking makes you win the game, however, its not 100% guarantee. Lady Luck is still has the last say.


It is better to have positive mindset in anything else but gambling. I have modified your statement and I hope you would agree with me. Actually gambling has become proved to be a predator that have eaten up the lives and finances of people. In gambling, you would never be getting anything positive from surrounding, and it is so, that is even more than a trouble for you.
Having a positive mindset in everything is good and having the mindset in gambling would also be good because that will lead you to life in which you would be safe from suffering from consequences of gambling. No doubt gambling has eaten up the lives of the people and their financial supports but only of those people who became addicted to it.
