I think it would be better for a person with such little amount of money to save it for future needs rather than to waste that money too in gambling as he has wasted before. People think that they can recover their money back by playing one more time and trying their luck. This action is nothing else than a big blunder from their side because if he was unable to win games when was having much money, can he win a game with remaining money.
Obviously, but if you check out most people who gamble and end up turning to addicts today, they are the ones with just so little and hoping that one day, may be their luck could shine and then set them up for life and rather than using that little to work hard and gradually make themselves be what they want to be, they are looking for the easy way out until they totally get greedy and then end up becoming addicted and a nuisance.

Nevertheless, it surprises me when I hear of those who were rich before turning into addicts and losing everything, which is really some scary one I must say.

I am not meeting the merit requirements of this campaign. Am I allowed to join here...

(I had been part of rollin camp for more than a year. Rollin campaign's manager @guitarplinker was the first manager to enforce the "no post in mega spam threads" rule. After rollin, I was part of crypto-news campaign from beginning to end.)

Thanks....
623  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you choose between wallet or exchange ? on: April 11, 2018, 06:32:08 PM
I would say diversify your investments on exchanges and wallets. I have seen many instances of exchanges getting hacked as well as wallets getting hacked. Therefore,  it's best to diversify the risk by keeping your coins at different platforms. Also, if you are frequent trader, then having some amount on exchanges is needed. But if you are a long term hodler, then go for paper or offline wallet. Online and desktop/mobile wallets are prone to hacking. It's better to go for big and reputed exchanges instead of online wallets when it comes to safe storage.
That makes a lot of sense honestly. Anyone who has all their investments on exchanges really does not have anything because whatever happens to those exchanges will plainly affect all their holdings. The most secured way is having a decentralized wallet holding most of your assets except for those one may want to trade once in a while for the benefit one can derive from trading.

There is absolutely no way I can actually just put all the things that I have in one single place most especially when I do not have control over them. For the short or mid-term trade, it is always tempting to have some in the exchange so as to utilize the profit one can make from the fluctuations in the market. I have always believed in storing long term in cold storage since that is safer anyway.
624  Economy / Economics / Re: My Advice on Investing in Crypto on: April 11, 2018, 06:00:04 PM
I do not think I need to rush to invest in a particular crypto, the most important is to learn well, recognize the developer, the system, and also the technology, because I do not think we should invest into something that we have not really known. So digging as much information as possible and accurately is probably the most important key I personally think.
That is always the idea. Never rush to invest in anything but take your time, get to see how you can be a part of the system, know all that you need to know and then start making decisions based on that. For those who are learned in this environment, it is always easy for them to make certain decisions without getting screwed or bothered about what may be going on in the market as long as they are sure of what they are doing. Not being sure or ignorance is what has led so many people to panicking at the slightest volatility move the market makes.
625  Economy / Economics / Re: What's more important when starting a business, Big Idea or Big Capital? on: April 11, 2018, 04:28:39 PM
What is more important with starting a business is to have a big capital than to have a big idea. Having a big idea is good but without capital those ideas will be worthless cause you can't do anything without enough money to support what you want to do. If you have a a big capital you can do every thing that goes to your mind.

You are quite right. First you really have to big bucks to back up your idea. If you don't have the capital in the beginning, if will be very hard for your business to take off because it will be just confined to the budget that you just have.

If you have big capital, you can do marketing or have purchased a lot of things that you can offer to your clients. Instead of just a small capital that you need to just roll over days after days.
I would rather say you really need to have big idea to back up your big bucks. I am not disputing the fact that having both is not good, it is definitely and having big bucks will let you quickly set the ball rolling with your great idea. Nevertheless, if you are resilient in nature and you have a big idea that you know would fly no matter what, you can build on it gradually.

Starting small is never a crime. Also, I have known people who have built an idea from the scratch and made it bigger over time. I always believe that once you have an idea, you have it all, and nothing should ever be a limitation.
626  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is Bitcoin's daily price fluctuations getting smaller and smaller? on: April 11, 2018, 03:24:29 PM
yes, it happens because of the lack of power possessed by bitcoin and I often say in this forum that the rise in bitcoin prices for now will be highly dependent on our own especially those who continue to hold bitcoin to date. but all the hopes of realizing a bitcoin price increase should be made by everyone who uses bitcoin to keep making purchases and stay afloat for long periods of time because the thing he wants is to realize a bitcoin price rise will never happen if every bitcoin user does not have the courage to keep bitcoin under any circumstances.
It is not bitcoin that possesses the power, it is just the way traders and the big guys perceive the market. Being a trader normally, it is always a best idea to stay clear of market at this moment in time because things can just change within a twinkle of an eye. The market has been based on a lot of FUD and that alone can easily affect stability, most especially when a particular hand seems suppressed and the other is still looking for a better angle to take over.

Usually the smaller range of fluctuations shows up the lack of new players. It means bitcoin is not currently attracting new investors who come and join the party to manipulate the extremes that he could. On the other hand we must take small ranged fluctuations are denoting sustaining prices, a very good symbol for another round of bull-run.
627  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: April 11, 2018, 11:53:10 AM
Glad to see an official waves thread active again and  many thanks to user turing for opening and mantaining the last active one.

Just  a prayer to waves developers : may you please consider releasing a waves desktop wallet for 32 bit operating systems?
Lol. I really hope they get to do that as well honestly. I have always believed so much in the waves platform and I have been holding the coin for a very long time which I believe it is going to be worth waiting anyway considering how the devs have been working hard and trying to make the project of having a decentralized exchange platform a success. If they can have much more suitable wallets anyway, it would not be a bad idea at all.

These are the reasons that I have always been a very huge fan of waves and even though some have complained about the movement in its value as nothing much is being gotten from holding it, but for those who can see a great future for waves and with the way the devs have been active, I feel it is pretty much worth knowing that this is one coin one should be holding in his or her portfolio because I see a great chance for the waves decentralized platform.

The future of Crypto Currency? BRIGHT
Hugely bright. It is more like being in a tunnel right now and seeing light at the end of the tunnel and that is one thing that gives a lot of hope as you keep approaching to the other end of the tunnel. Things are getting better and things will get even much better. Government already know they can do nothing to stop these and that is why we would rather see regulations than trying to put effort together to get rid of it. They also have so much to gain and with that we can have a working system even though the fiat system still remains.
629  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Having difficulties on market downfall? on: April 10, 2018, 05:23:29 PM
emotions can easily take over when you see your money dwindling down.  The part where you shouldn't invest what you can't lose is probably the best answer to those people panicking when the market is bearish. It's not an overnight thing guys.

Op stated the basic which I consider as theoretical aspect of trade because when the practical sets in and as you said " your money dwindling down" , then comes emotion and panic not to lose all.  Grin
Emotion will hardly come in if you know your position in the market. It is either you are a trader or a holder or whichever ways, we all know exactly what we are looking out for. Sure, there is no reason to panic because the market will recover and get back good and solid, and no matter how long it takes, it is always a good thing to do most especially when you have no knowledge about trading.

Trading however is for those who have been able to go through the learning process and know what they are doing and as risky as it is, they already know how to play it out, but far better than holding, so the choice is in everyone's hand, but panicking should be totally ruled out.
630  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Will bitcoin disappear in the future? on: April 10, 2018, 03:56:10 PM
Possibilities are there for that to happen because the value of the bitcoin is based on demand and supply so if the people stop using bitcoin then the price will starts to decrease.But the chances of happening this is low because bitcoin already got good support from the world people.
I cannot accept the possibilities you have mentioned. Because in this world, each and everything comes with its own risks hence bitcoin is not an exception. Compared to any other existing system, I believe bitcoin must have less possibilities to get disappeared.

Demand for bitcoins and adoption of bitcoins to a large extent are the things that I see happening. So far, we are still very low on  adoption, and there is nothing really that could fuel it, but as we keep growing and heading gradually to the mainstream with regulations, I see a lot of adoption taking place and I presume it to be a massive one. People may be looking at the present picture now, but for some of us, the picture in the future is far bigger.
631  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin global regulation on: April 10, 2018, 01:49:48 PM
As in, it is definitely impossible to impose a global 'one for all' set of regulations on Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. While each country preps up to take its own stance against this, there is literally no sign of a united decision anywhere. Ultimately, it is left to hands of the concerned governments to do what they think is necessary for the country rather than entertaining something which could hinder the economy.
Highly impossible. Most countries today are independent, and stand based on their own policies and regulation and even though we have some international monetary policies, having a global regulation on cryptocurrency is something that would not work most especially since it is highly decentralized. As long as each country is convenient with the idea, they will just come up with regulation policies unless they only want to borrow a cue from others.

Yeah, and if we take a look at most of the countries who really do not see it as a threat, they are still doing pretty fine and adoption is increasing here. Sure, we may get to see some huge global level of regulation, but coming as one body to regulate is not going to be possible. However, I believe with the way things are going, every country will start seeing how they can regulate and possibly benefit from the whole idea.
632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know its time to Stop? on: April 10, 2018, 12:53:36 PM
if do you have a target, I am sure yo know when time to stop.
Gambling is needed of selfcontrol to avoid your greedy and an addict to play in gambling.
Apparently, no one should even try to gamble without knowing that they can lose everything and with that, it would be so easy to have a target and once you hit that, you walk away.

Nevertheless, not having this target is what has made some people to always end up being put in the corner where they give up to the impulse that comes with gambling until they end up losing everything. This should not always be the case because if you fail to control yourself, then you will be controlled and the latter is a bad one to ever face.
633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Is Your Worst Moment in Gambling? on: April 10, 2018, 08:49:59 AM
My worst moment in gambling was when i bet on barcelona playing against some shit team called olympiad or something the odds for barcelona was 1.2 and i did feel that barcelona can easily thrash the team so i but 0.05 on barcelona and result it was a draw not even 1-1 but 0-0 no one scored after that i decided to quit betting once in for all
Gambling is a game of luck, even if we are playing gambling on sports games, so you need to invest such amount of money in gambling that you can easily afford to lose, even if you are betting against comparatively weak team, if you are going to select a favorite team then your lost will be greater than you win, while even in sports gambling the factor of luck is always there, so it is important to be careful even if we are betting against a weak team.
You need time for betting i agree but if you have a good knowledge about how the game is played , about the teams about the players weather they are in form or are better compared to others betting becomes way more easier. That's why i felt the same but sometimes it's all about luck as well
Well, sport game is a totally different case scenario here and even if you have all those ideas in your head, as much as they can give you a huge chance of hitting it, everything would still ball down on luck. I have those moments before when I thought a particular team had the best chance at home and they still got beaten anyway even though everything kind of favored them. The thing is that shit happens once in a while and those moments can actually leave you dumbfounded when they do.
634  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Will bitcoin disappear in the future? on: April 10, 2018, 08:17:34 AM
Altucher calls bitcoin and a number of other digital currencies sometime will replace the position of paper money as a medium of exchange. The reason, this currency can fix problems that exist in paper currency, and indeed in history, the same thing always happens in the new currency that replaces the old currency. but different according to According to some professors of economics at Harvard, Bitcoin will eventually collapse through incriminating government regulations. yeah, we can only predict and stay alert because anything can happen.
Even without bitcoin or cryptocurrency, paper money has already been replaced by the cashless society in some places with high level of infrastructure. However, I believe the blockchain technology is really going to pave way for a lot of development as we move on, while bitcoin may end up serving more as an asset and a currency due to its decentralized nature, while the activities get regulated by the government, and even if no one can predict the future, I do not see bitcoin going anywhere.

at least one country its currency dead. this will make adopters bitcoin increased very large that will lead to increase the value of bitcoin be more than US $ 50k when it to be
I guess you mean if a country's money value goes to zero then bitcoin value will increase, right ? Yes, even just a economic crisis also will trigger bitcoin prices to some peak levels. By this you mean, bitcoin will never disappear ? Then I must agree with you.
635  Economy / Marketplace / Re: THE FUTURE FOR THE ELECTRONIC MONEY MARKET on: April 10, 2018, 06:05:43 AM
If it is believed that the digital currency will be the future of the currency, then the next question is in the hundreds of thousands of kinds of digital currency monetary which one to stand out from the crowd, led digital currency market, eventually become digital money market dominance? As things stand, any of these thousands of digital currencies, or any future, is likely to dominate the future digital money market.
Maybe we keep waiting for the any in such case but as it is and the way SEC is regulating the market, I would rather stick my option to few of the coins such as bitcoin that I can trust than gamble holding some alts that may end up being screwed. Also, bittrex being a US based exchange, I have noticed the way it has been bouncing some alts recently and it seems this is what is going to end up happening for most of these coins or tokens if care is not taken.

The future of the electronic market must be having brighter future than what we could imagine as electronic gadgets are part of everybody's life along with revolutionary high speed mobile networks and fiber optic internet connections. We cannot expect people to stick with old way of fiat transactions. They will definitely look forward in a level which must be convenient to them.

Along with conveniences, cryptocurrencies offer lots of benefits compared to other electronic payment system. When comparing other electronic money system, cryptocurrencies will definitely sustain and will replace all other existing system.
636  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the bank glad to support cryptocurrency trade? on: April 09, 2018, 09:22:41 AM
Well once crypto goes to the banks then the dream of Mister Satoshi will end. Since crypto was included in the G20 topic, the alternative money become a real threat to banks so as usual they will do anything to control the marketing.
Maybe you did not follow the G20 meeting. Cryptocurrency during the meeting was not even classified as a threat in anyway and the last thing that can be done is just to regulate the space. Also, controlling is something they cannot achieve, unless you are trying to refer to regulations, but as far as I am concerned, only your activities are monitored, it still remains a decentralized environment and that makes it uncontrollable.

Adopting new technology like blockchain should not be a problem for banks as it is already obvious they do not see cryptocurrency as threat and the only thing that is needed is regulation which would even help us all to move forward. Banks do not need to use crypto, they can only serve as an exchange medium in the long run for those who may need to convert to fiat, whichever way; they are still making money.
637  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is the world economy is sliding down? And how bitcoin may help it? on: April 09, 2018, 08:47:58 AM
I do not see bitcoin helping the world economy but rather it can help an individual economy. Obviously, every country will not legalise bitcoin but the individual economy that adopts bitcoin can push in a huge investment when bitcoin is down to get some accruing profit from investment when price go up.  By such profit, the individual country can better her nation and her people by providing more social amenities, building projects, factories and employment.
Yeah, it all depends on individual. As the whole global economy is battling with their fiat system, we are safe in our own decentralized system and really, this would definitely open the eye of so many people right now with the way things are going to be changing in the long run. However, for country that may really accept the usage of bitcoin, it may really help the economy in general since everyone may end up doing pretty well without having to get screwed by fiat.

The entire world economy is sliding down basically because of all the government nonchalant policies that end up draining everything. Bitcoin would only come to the rescue if they accept the idea of decentralization, but of course, we already know that is not possible. So, at the end, only those who are smart enough to filter out the rubbish fiat system from the real thing will be able to do well in the system that is ridden with looming issues.
638  Economy / Economics / Re: About real state of cryptos on: April 09, 2018, 08:14:13 AM
Right now, no, they're not accepted in enough places and it doesn't make it a possibility. In the future, definitely. The biggest roadblock right now is volatility and that should decrease in time. The technology is there and it's proven it can be a better and cheaper alternative as long as scalability issues are resolved.
The volatility is huge now because really there is no real life usage or some pretty much level of adoption right now, so it is something we should expect. If there is a real demand for it for daily usage, I do not think this would be a big challenge due to the high level of demand for it.

I believe as we move ahead, a lot of things will change anyway but right now we are just having some speculative assets in our hands and in the real state, no much use for daily payment unless you are lucky to hit some merchants in your country accepting it. Otherwise like many Asian country people, we all need to hold our bitcoins and wait for some merchants to start up.
639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IS ETH GONNA REACH $200? on: April 08, 2018, 04:20:22 PM
I think it is going to take some time before ETH is increasing in value again (there are a lot of bad news atm, which engages people to sell).
Hopefully it will reach $200 so that we can buy us silly and then wait for it :')
I would not doubt that. It took time before it even got to that ATH last year, and with the way things have been before, I would not doubt anything right now. $200 will be a very good bargain and a sweet one to watch out for to load up for the next leg up and even though it does not sound like something that could happen.

The truth is that even less than $400 few months ago would not have seem likely, so with that, anything is definitely possible as ETH is inflationary but we also have to understand that if there is a huge demand for it, and if the market bounces back, then we should see it probably back to its feet.

Also, we hovered around $300 to $400 for a very long time, so going way lower may not seem like it, but it is the crypto world, and anything is possible. The bloodbath is everywhere and it is affecting the whole space, but if it brings the chance to accumulate more for the future, who are we to say no?
640  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Finally spring bull run is coming? on: April 07, 2018, 03:13:37 PM
I am very distrustful of forecasts that are based only on desires. Today, there are no serious signals about the market reversal but only the hopes of the crypto community. Be careful and do not make any deliberate actions until the situation becomes clear.
Well, April is still very young, so we can at least just see how things will be turning out pretty soon. I wonder what it is going to be like in coming days anyway, with the way the bears are busy tearing the market apart and waiting for every weak souls to dump all their coins for them. We are in with the big players as it is and I would not be surprised if this month we just end up consolidating after a huge drop with nothing much to expect from the bulls. Like many experts have predicted, I too believe in seeing new trend from this month onward. Because, so far all quarters in a year usually will not be same for crypros.
