Staking works OK if you can identify & stake solid projects with good staking rewards.  Most coins that offer that large percentage of  staking rewards you posted are probably scams or substandard projects. The prices could be dumped on you... your coins and reward become worthless.
5942  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I have learnt to cash out on: April 28, 2019, 07:57:37 PM
So what then would you do if the price continues to go up? You accept the missed opportunity or sell your local currency to buy back the cryptocurrency?

I would rather day trade on an exchange with the money.  Cashing back crypto to your local currency then buying it back again and selling your local currency can be a very unprofitable thing to do due to fees and cost of conversions.
5943  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any chance that XRP can defeat BTC? on: April 28, 2019, 07:41:21 PM
Nothing new! Ripple does overtake ethereum once in a while in market cap. But market capitalization doesn't really mean much.
Ripple is a centralized coin by the way. It is not worth buying.
5944  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin stops bank runs - own your keys! on: April 28, 2019, 05:12:16 PM
Do people control their own keys on the Bitfinex exchange? Or you are talking about the general bitcoiners who control their private keys and don't use or have too much coins on the exchange?

Anyway, people who didn't learn anything from the 2008 crash would probably repeat the mistake of keeping lots of money  on centralized crypto exchanges.

$143 is unbelievable amount but people indeed paid about that amount of fee especially on centralized platforms like crypto exchanges.  This should be around the period when people were desperate to pay any amount due to slow confirmation and high fees.
5946  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Germany's First STO - Your thoughts? on: April 28, 2019, 04:41:40 PM
Will  Bitgo still be a "cryptocurrency" under government regulations?  I don't think it'll qualify as a cryptocurrency with this alone. It can't be a proper blockchain and be regulated at thesame time by government
5947  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 6 Reasons why IEO is better than ICO on: April 28, 2019, 04:26:48 PM
There are many  disadvantages as well. We will understand this in the future. But they can both exist together.
 I have not even bother checking out these alternatives because they are clearly not what the crypto world needs.
5948  Other / Off-topic / Re: The preferred method of birth on: April 28, 2019, 02:52:57 PM
Cesarean operation has become quite popular where I live. It is quite strange how women prefer to have their belly torn apart with the anesthesia and pains. Birthing through the normal process must be scary to many women in this modern times .
If cesarean operation is what my wife prefers, why not. My only problem is the scarred belly may make me dislike getting here pregnant again.
5949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I gamble for my WEDDING? on: April 28, 2019, 02:36:32 PM
Should I gamble with the one I have?

Are you kidding me, man? That is bad. I know you are kind of desperate to get that money but I don't think gambling will help you. First off, if you want to get married, you should've been able to save money for that, for me that just means you are rushing things and you did not even plan this whole thing up. Lastly, if you really need it, just make a loan or borrow money. You have a lot of friends for sure that you can borrow to and there are a lot of banks you can have a loan to. You don't need to rely on gambling sites, you should, believe me, I've been there.


You make good points.  But the gentleman does not have to borrow from banks either. Maybe borrow friends... but never the banks
Borrowing from banks is almost thesame as gambling.
5950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about the gambling site's having a promotion? on: April 28, 2019, 02:15:25 PM
Promotion is  part of how they get more gamblers. Of course, I will take such offers if I like them.

Never heard of the "Loss back" incentive. Sounds like what blockchain gambling platforms are already doing... not sure though.
5951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I gamble for my WEDDING? on: April 28, 2019, 01:58:25 PM
How are you sure you won't lose all the money to gambling. Are you experienced or successful gambler? Gambling has never been profitable to most people. I wonder why you think it will help your case. Hope this is not a joke though.
5952  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Luring hunters to promote bounties on: April 28, 2019, 01:42:34 PM
And be very suspicious of those with huge stakes allocation. They are usually the desperate, fake and substandard ones. They tend to have the rewards included in their topic headlines to lure vulnerable hunters.
5953  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best decentralized social network based on Blockchain tech? on: April 27, 2019, 08:23:48 PM
There are:
Steemit https://steemit.com/
Minds https://www.minds.com/.. Zappl (twitter-like powered rewrite by steem)
Mithril https://mith.io/
Steepshot https://steepshot.io/
DSound https://dsound.audio/
Trybe https://trybe.one/
DecenTwitter https://decentwitter.com/


I can't tell which one of them  is the best though. But it's possible that steemit is the most popular.

My only problem with steemit is it not being  mobile friendly and the annoying display of earnings below posts. The displayed earnings are very distracting. This is one of the reasons I stopped using the platform.
5954  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do your research before investing in ICOs on: April 27, 2019, 08:14:50 PM
"Only invest as experienced investor" is a very important advice.  An alternative to this advice is probably to go to some sort of ICO school or  research about "Ways to choose great ICOs"
5955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to ICO if....... on: April 27, 2019, 04:14:44 PM
ICO could be seriously affected if this happens but I doubt it is going to be the end of ICO. The old cryptocurrency economy/ money lost in dip will be replaced by new economy and money from national currencies/economies. But lots of ads and creativity will be needed to attract the new money
5956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Regulations only for BTC to increase in FIAT value? on: April 27, 2019, 03:55:31 PM
Good observation. Seems most didn't understand the purpose of Bitcoin/cryptocurrency before joining this space. Or they probably did understand but greed got hold of them. . It's a little bit frustrating to keep reading their posts.

Anything blockchain related that does not revolve around the principles behind bitcoin should not be taken seriously.
5957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling streams on: April 27, 2019, 03:32:38 PM
Looks like the gambling streaming and with commentaries from  hosts could be good parts of gambling. Will be fun for people like us (the non active gamblers ) to sit and watch active gamblers gamble while listening to commentaries at thesame time.
5958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: VETERANS to a gambling questions here(newbie here) on: April 27, 2019, 03:21:35 PM
The positive/negative feedbacks of most of the crypto gambling websites are accumulated over time from my little experience. And they usually come from this forum(neutral source) trust feedback and recommendations from members.
Am not a veteran though.
5959  Other / Off-topic / Re: Entertainment options on: April 27, 2019, 01:09:08 PM
Do you live alone? If no, why not chat more with family members? If yes, then you probably should get yourself two or more dogs. Surround yourself with cheerful/friendly animals.  Problem is who takes care of the animals when you are out for work?
You could get them automatic feeders, automatic doors to let them outside once in a while and some sort of Webcam for monitoring them.
5960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crime Effect of Gambling - Your thoughts! on: April 27, 2019, 12:48:24 PM
I have never seen physical gambling centers that engage in drugs dealing or prostitution. Maybe they don't do it openly or it could well be an exaggeration.
It could also be that the law enforcement agencies/government do not try trooting out lawbreakers.
