5961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: February 01, 2017, 05:17:31 AM
The spurs are in a 2 losing streak, I have never seen them losing 3 in a row this season. This should be a game that they need to ensure a win, they are allowing big points lately but this time I think we can see a defensive Spurs. This is FUN!

As of watching now, Spurs is leading the game. They are now on 54 while Oklahoma City Thunders is on 42. But the game is still long and first half did just ended with that score. For sure they are now on fire and they want to get this game badly. And this is a good indicator that Spurs is playing well for this match, if they will play good until the end, losing streak ends.
Come one. Leads mean nothing in the NBA until the last 1:20 of play left at the end of the game.
I watched Pelicans have a 14 point lead at the end of the half as the visiting team. Then they screw it up in the third. Ends in OT with raptors winning.
So leads are not safe in the NBA until the last minute and a half of play.

I know about leads means nothing in NBA or any basketball game. But haven't you read what I said in my last sentence, if they will play good until the end, they will get this game. And as of now they are already in the 4th quarter and the score is 93-80 still Spurs is leading this game. They seems to be consistent with this game. Few more minutes left.
There is nothing to argue, spurs already won the game and covered the spread. Spurs did a good job against Westbrook who is only shooting 7/17 while Kawhi Leonard has regain his team confidence by scoring 37 points tonight. Another great game for the Spurs, I hope the streak will continue.

Damn no more arguments and Spurs got this victory, it's a revenge game for them the curse was broken by Leonard. Spurs manage to maintain their lead the game ended 108-94. And their next game is going to be with 76ers I don't want to be judgmental but I'm pretty sure that they are going to get this victory again.
I just noticed, most favorites do covered tonight, it means a profitable for most of us also. Easy bets were, the Rockets, Spurs, and Portland Blazers. No sweat for that three games if you were on their side. Congratulations to the winners, hope we can still have another win for tomorrow.

Whenever I would trust with the bank, it cannot be disputed that the role of the banks is very important. Although the bitcoin beat bank but I'm sure the bank will always exist. This is because of the Government guarantee which ensures all deposits are safe.
the key is bank guaranteed by the government, banks used to hold fiat, when fiat continue to exist and are used by everyone. then although bitcoin became popular though. banks will continue to exist and in trust
Banks cannot be defeated by bitcoin, the government is too powerful, they set the rules and we just obey and follow it. I don't think one should say that we don't have to trust banks because there is bitcoin already, we cannot do that, everyday we need fiat to spend for our needs and wants.

Some users choose gambling rather than investments because you can make a profit in the long run with betting but in putting it on investments it may lost with a blink of an eye cause there is more scammers than the legitimates on the world wide web.
Lol, on the long run you will lose when gambling. investing in trusted sites(not hyips but sites like crypto-games,bitdice etc or altcoins) is much better, the risk is everywhere whether you invest or gamble.

Gambling risks are very high compared to investing risks. If you invest in good sites then surely you will make a decent profit in the longer run but remember to diversify your money into few good sites. If anyone win big amount from one or two sites you still make a decent profit in the longer run. Also if you got more money than consider to put some money in real estate, gold and in shares as well.
I guess that's normal, you take bigger risk in gambling because you have only small amount of capital or bankroll to risk and you can expect to grow it  with bigger amount but in investment you need a good amount of capital to give you a decent earning. Most of want an instant one as we feel our capital will not take us to our desired profit.

Tingin ko hindi naman kelangan na iwasan ang local forum kung di ka naman talaga bihasa sa wikang dayuhan. Kasi, mas mahirap na post ka nga sa mainboards, kaso di naman maayos eh di sabihan ka pa ng gibberish posts. (opinyon ko lang po)
Minsn kasi kapag marami kang post sa local maliit ang chance mo makapasok sa sig campaign. Pwede ka naman mag isip habang nagpopost sa labas hindi rin kasi kailangan perfect grammar as long as naiitindihan yung point mo okay na yun. Ako nga ilang minuto bago matapos sa english post.

isa yan sa kinatatakutan ko kung bakit hindi ako nagpopost sa labas kasi nga hindi ako ganun kagaling sa english, minsan nga nagtry ako tapos gumagamit pa ako ng Google translate para tama pero mahirap padin magconstract ng tama kaya naglocal na lang ako
Well dapat pag aralan muna may campaign kasi na puro English thread lang dapat mag post.pag nakita post history mo na puro local minsan Hindi kana binibigyan ng chance makasali denied agad. Kaya kung puro local lang post mo mAraming campaign ang Hindi tatanggap sayo.
Tama. Hindi lahat ng campaign ay local. Kailangan ng versatility. Ako nung una hirao ako. Pero nung nagtagal okay na ako. Medy hirap pa din kung minsan. Pero kung pursigido kang matuto. Pagaaralan mo talaga. Ako may dictionary ako kapag di ako alam yung meaning. Tingin agad sa dictionary. Mahirap humanap ng campaign na puro local lang kasi bihira lang may magoffer na campaign na ganyan.
It's normal mate because most if not all of the users in the forum understand english language, therefore, if you want to participate in the campaign, you have to make sure you comply with the law. Some managers even required it's participants to post in english even in local section. That's how it works, you will get used to it and your dictionary will really help.
5965  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can not replace fiat on: January 30, 2017, 04:49:36 AM
The fiat system can easy eat bitcoin, and bitcoinc cant be traded against all fiat, even if the price double or more, be sure that bitcoin is an extra currencie with a lot of potencial to grow over time, currently the best way to make money is crypto currencies.

Fiat will be always be used by countries and there is nothing showing they are going to invest into crypto world soo soon, besides China that seems to be testing already this model.
Sorry I dissagree with you, a lot of people in several countries were exchange their currencies to the USD and bitcoin because the value of their currencies down so far. This showed that fiat is not always fit for us. I think fiat will be replaced by something better.
You can't replace fiat because in the first place it is not meant for investment, we know that due to inflation the value of fiat decreases overtime but it is now the initiative of fiat holder how to invest some of his fiat, and one of the opportunities that can be done is by buying bitcoin to hold it longer.
No matter what we do, the government has all the power to implement the usage of fiat.
5966  Economy / Economics / Re: You should never trust banks on: January 29, 2017, 01:43:23 PM
I completely disagree with you.
Banks are not meant as institutions to support country's economy. There is a proper legal body to look after banks' performance. So banks are institutions whom we can trust upon!
I don't know how many here are aware of money creation function of bank! This function leads to multiple development of country in similar budget!
Banks are still realiable during these days and on the past years,many are still entrusting their savings as well as their start of investments through banks.I don't agree with statement that we should never trust banks,and maybe of course it also depends on how you are a very good client to them.We know already how the system of banks really works if you are trusting their services and their good response to their clients are good then there's no reason that banks are not that reliable to trust.
5967  Economy / Economics / Re: WILL BITCOIN BE USED BY ALMOST EVERYONE IN 2022? on: January 29, 2017, 01:32:13 PM
I think in 5 years Bitcoin will be known to almost everybody on this planet, but will they be using it that's a question. I think most of them will but can't say for everyone.

That's the reality they may know bitcoin but also another is that, they will know it for good reason or with bad? Because many are already have knowledge in bitcoin but their knowledge into is very bad, thinking that bitcoin is just something that is being used for bad things, illegal activities and other types of crimes which is very unfair but its the reality.

Knowing bitcoin to everyone for its beneficial purpose is important and i dont think everybody in the world be introduced to bitcoins even after 5 years. I can say that bitcoins will be used in majority of the nations if not all. Most under developed areas still not having Internet cannot use bitcoins without infrastructure of Internet and computers.
A certain point, many or more than half still not using nor understand what is really a bitcoin.How does it work?how to use it?how to earn it?Still their are lots convincing ,campaigns ,advertisements to be done in order for it to grow more so that almost everyone will be able to use it.That 5 years run would still be struggle if it really try to be used to everyone,still mostly are still using fiat as means of paying and everything that goes beyond money.Through this great innovation maybe when 2022 comes hopefully bitcoin still on its high mark then we can say that it will come that is used by everyone already.
5968  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?! on: January 29, 2017, 05:34:50 AM
If you ask why people are confused, Bitcoin is showing a bumpy graphic and people do not want it. But naturally we know that this should be a normal situation. Some people may be expecting more of them to fall off and have more aim at keeping more bitcoins on their hands. Another point I can actually say is that there is no tax and it is seen as money laundering.





Well i disagree that having a bumpy graphic has negative effecta on btc. I think it can even attract more people to using it because of the constant changes thats happening to its price. Ans as we can all attest right now bitcoin is very much alive and strong

Don't show to people anything that would give them any doubts with bitcoin, there is no need to complicate things when explaining to them. Let's show that the yearly progress of bitcoin and we can vouch that since we are here for a long time. The last year's bitcoin performance was really amazing, and we can continue that this year. It's not dead when we are about to hit the highest price ever.
5969  Economy / Economics / Re: Spending Bitcoins on: January 29, 2017, 05:28:23 AM
In my country, you can spend a Bitcoin on various goods and services. But not directly, but through intermediaries. So I have to pay a high commission to intermediaries. I do not like it. That's why I rarely spend Bitcoins

Majority of us are facing the same problem that we don't have any place to spend them directly to buy anything and for the same reason we need to convert it to fiat and then spend but bitcoin debit card have made things easier as I can use it like any other debit/credit cards for making purchases either offline or online.
For the majority of people, it is not a big issue. We can use our bitcoin once we convert it to fiat. For me, I will be willing to wait for the development to happen in our country, I can surely see more merchants that will be accepting bitcoin in the coming future and I am very optimistic about that.

Right now, I am more focus on investing it than using it as a currency.
5970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to spot a gambler addicted? on: January 29, 2017, 04:52:44 AM
I don't count myself gambling addicted or even close to that. When I have a line of nonstop loosing in the game I just leave it and that's it. After some time I come back to the game and in the same case I leave it again and so on.
I have heard that the most sure way to save addicted to gambling man is to block this person in the special clinic.
That's not right anymore, you are killing your freedom, the good solution to cure some addiction is to turn your activities into a more productive ones. You will lose interest in gambling when you have something that you spent your time so much and that should not be a gambling related games.
Spend time with our family could certainly help or make ourselves busy with our job.
5971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: January 29, 2017, 04:46:44 AM
but if you are just investing in gambling there is possibility that you will lose..
First you can't invest in gambling, you can invest in bankroll of gambling site. Possibility to lose is everywhere, but if you invest in casino your investment should be fine in long run.
Hm, I wonder what OP decided to do with his coins..
For sure OP has already invested his bitcoins now, most of the suggestions here are to invest and not to gamble. That is because we have the experience that it is never profitable to gamble as most of us just loses in the long run. Even in my situation, if given a chance to choose, I would do invest my bitcoins if I have some decent amount to risk.

i am agree with you, its better to invest that will work for long term rather than play gamble, with the recommended sites, the OP can makes a decent of money. the OP can still play gamble while we makes investment but for remember, don't play too much otherwise you will loss in the end.
Investing would not prohibit you in having fun, you can still gamble if you want but you need to be a responsible gambler who aims just for the entertainment. You cannot gamble for money as it will certainly affect your other investment and you might lose bigger which would make you desperate to chase bets.
5972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Losses on: January 29, 2017, 04:35:44 AM
I had couple of friends who are so addicted that even at loss they tend to play to make it up the losses which in turn ends up in more loss. So better if you play for entertainment this will help you on self control and limit your losses.
most of the gambler have the same nature, most of the gambler continue gambling tell the end of all his money, actually they all the time hoping for this they will com in this way they continue but useless and at last lose all their money.
That's normal, unless you cannot call yourself a total gambler if you will not fight until the end. Hence, it is very important to deposit only an amount that you can afford to lose, so whenever your bankroll has been wipe out, you have all the liberty to stop and end your day.
5973  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: January 28, 2017, 01:53:49 PM
Fiat money is still inevitable in our everyday life. The thing is that Bitcoin will probably never achieve that level of acceptance that it could completely compete with fiat. And I don't think that the whole world would change the mindset just like that so for a long time the financial systems would be depending exclusively on fiat.

However, if it adopted or made centralize money by your government you have to go as it is right! I think bitcoin will be centralized money in near future and then automatically we should go for it.
Still fiat holds strongly in today's economy by means of everything that relies on it,fiat would still be widely use for those who are not still know yet the use of cryptocurrency.Even some places are still exchange their bitcoins to fiat in order to have money,and mostly establishments are accepting fiat instead of bitcoin.The widely use of fiat mostly simplifies that not everyone still have the knowledge to use the modern use of digital money.
5974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts for Bitcoin in 2017? on: January 28, 2017, 01:32:40 PM
It will continue to have it's stable price as well as it runs smoothly through many are using it already.The mass adoption still continue to grow as many are interested and willing to learn how the use of bitcoin.As of today,the use of bitcoin in terms of transacting and paying are continue as the main use of those who know it already.Probably,if it will continue to have it's stable price then possibly it has more years to come.
5975  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Daily use of bitcoin? on: January 28, 2017, 12:09:54 PM
Hi friends,

As far as I know, bitcoin payments take a little time to approve. Will these approval times make it difficult to use bitcoin in our daily lives?
For example, I would get a coffee from Starbucks. Do I have to wait for approval to pay for what I have done for hours?

we need 3rd aplication to use bitcoin at daily life. but totally we can't use bitcoin.
we must exchange our bitcoin to make it accepted, because the bitcoin merchands is only few place avaible.
Likewise what i use today ,it still limited not all are still accepting it.I have to exchange it to fiat in order for me to buy something.Well,i can say that i used to use my bitcoin daily,there are emergency situations or somewhat it is badly needed it depend also of the availability of bitcoin i have.Using it daily is very helpful specially  it is fast and easy way of transacting over everything.
5976  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: January 28, 2017, 03:27:28 AM
There are few ways to have a stable income in crypto. If you have a main job, with good stability, I recommend keeping it, and try to complement it with other activities in the cryptocurrency space. I think even trading, where there are people earning a living from it, there are high levels of instability, but I think the effects of it can be mitigated with good knowledge and strategy.
Earning stable income in crypto helps a lot specially when your earning in your main job are not still enough for you.You must have another resources for you to have an earning that can sustain your daily needs.There should be the balance of everything, the way you spend and the way on how you earn your money.Prefer to have a good investment as well as you have manner of saving what you you earn,always have an options of everything because still we cannot predict of what is gonna happen.
5977  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: January 28, 2017, 03:10:31 AM
I prefer bitcoin over fiat because it's easily accessible via bitcoin wallet just like a bank but with no long delay, it's not taxed because no bank owns it and it can be used on any country without converting to local currency of each country. That is convenient.
but for now it seems you can not use bitcoin like fiat to buy goods easily anywhere, because of the limited number of users and not trafficking who accepted bitcoin
Many places are still not accepting bitcoin as a use of payment directly,you have to exchange it to fiat so that you can buy the things that you want.But as we try to see the use of bitcoin gives the easiest way of paying bills as well as buying commodities by not using fiat,the services offered the fastest way of sending of any transactions that you have.
5978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling Investments on: January 28, 2017, 01:38:39 AM
I think invest bitcoin in gambling is kind of good because we can earn fast through gambling. But of course in gambling there are always there are ups and down. I mean it totally depends on your skills and one's ability to lose or maybe even one one's luck.

In gambling you can earn fast but you may also lose fast. Investing in the house is an advantage though very little house edge but in the long run it will survive.

Just make sure that you are investing on a tristed site if you are aiming for a long run profit on house edge. Actually the possibility of profit on house edge is very small even for a long period of time but actually helps on saving once bitcoin price inflate while holding your bitcoin on investment.

If you invest on good high traffic sites then surely can make good profits. But those well trusted and big casinos are not accepting investments from the public. But still we can diversify our money into few good sites instead of one or two then we can get good average returns over the time for our investments on these casino bankrolls.
Just based your investment with the experiment of OP, he knows better because he did the actual experiment and what just tells us now is that gambling investment is very profitable as a whole. If we can profit by just investing in a gambling sites bankroll then how much more the operators.
5979  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy a car with bitcoin on: January 28, 2017, 01:05:23 AM
Not only cars are being sold or bought in Bitcoin.  You can check this site to see more varieties of luxury items that is in sales in Bitcoin.  https://www.bitpremier.com/  

I never heard about that site before. I just even see someone claimed that he bought a car by bitcoin, but a few people was doubt about it.

well, does the site have kind of testimony of people who have bought the car by bitcoin? if it does, then I think you can trust it.

It is quite for sometimes now since people/company are selling their cars for bitcoin since bitcoin had been popular to investors and speculators.
And probably more to come in the future, bitcoin is getting popular therefore more investors will be coming in selling their stuffs. Life would be fast and easy for the buyers and sellers once they are fully educated with how bitcoin works. I am sure if this is very popular with big countries, small countries will follow and we connect in a border less network.
5980  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you a crypto enthusiast? What has driven you into becoming one? on: January 28, 2017, 12:39:17 AM
when I firts knew about bitcoin, I just did not trust it. in my mind, internet money is scam. but then my friend proofed me that it worked. so I tried to collect some pennies. and it worked. in the first time, I just earned very little amount and then as time goes, I can earn more.
There's plenty of scams online so that is just a normal reaction to think that it's a scam especially when you have been victim in the past. Now, we know that bitcoin is legitimate and it is making a positive results in our life by grabbing the opportunities it poses on us. From day to day, I have more interest with bitcoin as I regularly read news about predictions and it helps me to stay faithful with bitcoin.
