Nope.

Some people are really crazy about weed, I'm sure it can be good for some people and treatment of MS etc, plus I think it should be legal because the "war on drugs" doesn't actually stop people, but I personally don't do it.  Some people really exaggerate the benefits as well, I even see some people claiming that weed cures cancer or that it's so great according to some poorly conducted study which is unrelated.

UK companies are easy to register, it doesn't take any effort and all Ponzi schemes show their UK registry.
623  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin benefit of saving for a long time? on: April 14, 2017, 06:32:15 AM
Holding bitcoin for a long time is good if you start way back 2014 because price of bitcoin that time is already doubled at current price but for now much better to do trading than holding it for a long time, we should take the advantage of the fluctuation of the price
I have to disagree with you with this one as Holding Bitcoin in a long term position is not appropriate or Bitcoin is not really for Long Term Investments. Remember when Bitcoin drop at 500$ per coin last 2016 it was the worst moment for Investors if they listened to your advice to keep holding Bitcoin. For me you have to take advantage of the price drops and increase at the same time, Holding Bitcoin will certainly avoid those advantages. Bitcoin is more fitted in the short term position.
But that depends on what someone understands form long term, bitcoin is a currency that moves so fast that I think long term in bitcoin could be for someone to hold for their entire lifetimes but for some long term is at most one year.

Back in the 2013/2014 is still good for long term, but i'm not sure for now. As you can see bitcoin is on top price right now and if you want saving for long time, it's better not for 1 year and more. Under 1 year is still profitable in my opinion. Because bitcoin price can easily increase/decrease nowdays. It would be very risky.
Well, don't think the journey will end already, we just have broke the ATH this year so I believe there will be more to come.
I really believe bitcoin for long term investment, also the same with some good altcoins nowadays, they will give us good return for sure.

Saving bitcoin for longer period of time is risky as you never know when the prices goes up or down and as far as investment is concerned you have to choose a profitable business or campaign but for long term investment i don't think it's a wise option

Selling all your bitcoins is as risky

Selling all might mean that you will miss future profits that Bitcoin may bring (unless you are going to get done with Bitcoin altogether and call it a day). So either selling all or buying all (I mean with all your available capital) are both risky extremes that we should certainly avoid. The common sense tells us that we should neither sell all nor buy all, at least, not all at once. Indeed, this might eat away at the potential profits (if you didn't go all in and price rose), but, on the other hand, you won't suffer massive losses if prices actually decline instead of rising
Nah, selling all of your Bitcoin isn't that risky because you know how much you've gained or lost.  If you hold for a long time it might cease to be a popular choice for all you know.  I would still do it though, just because I expect it to rise.

All casinos tend to ask for ID if they suspect you of fraudulent activity regardless of the fact that they're Bitcoin casinos and some people who play on them like to stay anonymous.  In most cases they don't ask, but I'd say that a lot of other casinos would do it as well.
625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If today was your last day, would you gamble everything? on: April 14, 2017, 06:20:53 AM
It would be pointless.  You would be wasting your time when you could be spending all the money you've saved up over your life and enjoying yourself doing that, since the main point of gambling is the hope that you'll have more to spend in the future (a future which you don't have in front of you).
626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you choose casino to play? on: April 14, 2017, 06:19:00 AM
Hi guys!
Everyone in Oshi including myself is very curious how do you choose the casino to play in?
What's the most important to you? Bonuses? Or something else?
For me personally it's the website's design and the number of games offered. 

As far as online sites go, I prefer a site that is easy to understand and user friendly. The customer support has to be very good and the most important thing is that it has to have a good reputation and be trustworthy.

All gambling sites have good service with a premium look, if we are talking about the casino, we will always think of the obvious advantages, so it has a special attraction in this case, to this day I am still involved in gambling at original casinos (offline), more challenging adrenaline if we face with real people and gambling table.
It means you are only interested with casino that have great promotion regardless of whether the casino can be believed so you will not have problems when playing or when making a deposit / withdraw. I guess you have to change a bit the way you choose a casino if you do not want to get scams.
Provably fair casinos often have very good promotions.  It doesn't matter if your main focus is on a promotion, as long as you can find major factors that make it appear legitimate.
627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: April 14, 2017, 06:18:02 AM
It's not really possible to completely get rid of it because the main reason people gamble in the first place is greed.

To control it all you can do is make sure you don't deposit more than you're intending to spend in it.
628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ANY STRATEGY TO WIN IN GAMBLING? on: April 14, 2017, 06:15:25 AM
When it's about probability, it's impossible and you have to base it on minimising your losses, and you could use a Martingale strategy for that to make it unlikely that you'll lose a significant amount of money.

When it's skill, the only important thing is to practice a lot with smaller amounts and never get hyped enough about a game to put a huge amount of your money into only one.
629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you play online street fight game for bitcoins ? on: April 14, 2017, 06:12:04 AM
If it's basically skill based gambling, I might do it.

Online games that act more like faucets are pretty bad, since they don't pay anything significant and you have more fun playing other games instead.
630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: April 14, 2017, 06:09:26 AM
No, because I don't have a gambling problem.  Simple as that.

If I had a serious problem I would try and get professional help.  If I was doing more skill-based gambling I would at least spread my money between a few different things.
631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: April 14, 2017, 06:07:04 AM
To be honest, I basically haven't won anything.

I tend to bet on probability games more than anything else, which means that I end up losing overall, but I don't play with too much money.

If you spend the money outside of gambling it'd basically just be spending loads of money since you'll just lose more money later.
632  Economy / Economics / Re: March 2017 , february 2017, january 2017, 2016’s top cryptocurrencies on: April 09, 2017, 11:44:15 PM
Any comments on new currency rank? Didn`t ripple surprise you?
We can still argue that Ripple is not real and 'true' cryptocurrency. Real cryptocurrency = decentralization.
How crypto controlled by one company, with centralized validation, premined and 20% taxed with ability to freeze tokes of its users can be considered a crypto.
Ripple is more of a payment network.  It allows payments with other cryptos - it's not trying to overtake Bitcoin or be better than Bitcoin or anything like that, so I don't mind that its price rose. 
633  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: April 09, 2017, 11:41:48 PM
It's amazing how low the average balance is of the people responding here. I guess I shoudln't expect all the people who are loaded to come in and say "I have 50, 100, 5000 bitcoin saved!" But the fact that so many people can't save enough to have 1 bitcoin is astonishing to me. You all need to stop spending money on the stupid shit people sell here!

The way bitcoin price has been moving, 1 bitcoin today could be 2 tomorrow. Why spend at all?!
Because Bitcoin should be a currency.  If people find good opportunities for things do with their Bitcoin, maybe they'll be able to gain more.  Really it's quite reasonable (although it is surprising how small the amounts we're talking about here are).
634  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Currency on: April 09, 2017, 11:36:29 PM
Bitcoin has always been a global currency, and that internationalism is one of its best aspects.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that it'll actually be accepted everywhere, just that it has the potential to be accepted everywhere.  Hopefully, it'll become more popular as people see these sorts of benefits.
635  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: April 09, 2017, 11:33:28 PM
Where else can you just stick some money into your wallet and find it's value much larger in a few days?

The way I see it, Bitcoin gives us the true freedom of currency. We are not dependent upon any system to use our money. So it basically is and always will be BTCFREEDOMBTC
To be honest, while the freedom is nice it’s also a little nervous sometimes. For what I have in Bitcoin, the only stability it has is that I have to trust that other people also say that one bitcoin is worth a lot of money. If a bunch of those people suddenly stopped trusting BTC and pulled out I’d be dead in the water.

But with USD, the euro, or even investing in a relatively stable stock or index fund I have the comfort that there’s something behind it. Even if I have concerns about the government, they don’t extend so deeply that I’m worried my money will become worthless, and very few other people think that way.

I have to turn some power over to a larger and more controlling organization when I put money into any of those things, but I know that my money is most likely safe.

I understand this. Must be nerve-wracking to see all your btc in your wallet suddenly worth much less than what you paid for it. Happened to me few weeks ago so I took out some of them. Now it's going back up again. I suppose we just have to be prudent and vigilant. Don't go all in in bitcoins, try to still have some saved in traditional investments. At least should btc totally crash and don't recover, you wouldn't be left out in the cold.

Maybe just send some btc to an exchange during peak and convert to fiat but don't cash out, and then use that to buy more btc during plunges?
You could also find that its value was much smaller in a few days.  You have to be wary of holding all of your money in Bitcoin - currently, I would spend fiat when Bitcoin is low and Bitcoin when it's high.  When Bitcoin rises more it'll naturally become a more stable rise and I'll spend with Bitcoin more often.  Generally, it's because Bitcoin will beat inflation in the future by stopping new Bitcoin being created.
636  Economy / Economics / Re: Is USD being used for illegal activities? on: April 09, 2017, 11:29:25 PM
Thats not the fault of USD. Every country has its own currency which is used by the local terrorist, smugglers I mean bad people,thats not the problem of the currency thats the problem of the system. Yes USD is widely used so terrorist or criminals gonna like it for sure.
The point is that many people accuse Bitcoin of harbouring illegal activity, while the US dollar is used for even more illegal activity than Bitcoin is, especially since it's very hard to stay anonymous with Bitcoin unless you know what you're doing.
637  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: April 09, 2017, 11:26:32 PM
I will save both golds and bitcoins . Because everything have their own valuable. Gold is a oldest valuable thing in the history and bitcoin is a newest valuable thing in the internet. So why don't we saving both them for us to become rich ?

if you want to get more profit without thinking about investing, bitcoin is better than gold. firmer economic turnaround despite having a huge risk, to think about investing I prefer to collect the results of bitcoin to buy property, it is better for me. Many people think to collect of both, but I don't have comfort about it, maybe because I am still young and was always thinking about life challenges, I chose reviewing to do something risky.
Risky is fine because Bitcoin has genuine potential to grow a lot more - gold is more of a stable asset.  Bitcoin isn't actually stable, it's just an investment and currency.
638  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to be international currency on: April 09, 2017, 11:24:48 PM
Yeah it will be, after some problems about unacceptable of bitcoin in some countries, now they slowly accepted it . The nearest is japan, which is a good economy in the world, So bitcoin will soon be a international currency with a high price too. Cheesy
It's accepted in the sense that it's not illegal in most countries, but it has a long way to go in terms of actual acceptance.  Recognising it as having the characteristics of money is all that countries need to do for it to have legitimacy.
639  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin price is recovering! on: April 09, 2017, 11:20:58 PM
Bitcoin price has been already recovered and I think we will reach another ATH soon. Wide and massive adoption still continue and it will never stop. Plus the worldwide news related to bitcoin acceptance of a country has a big effect for good.
The ATH that happened during the ETF was more of a pump than anything else.  This seems like a  much more legit ATH than before, and it might even keep going as money flows out and into different alts and supports Bitcoin.
640  Economy / Economics / Re: How did Bitcoin start to price increase? on: April 09, 2017, 11:18:19 PM
Just because more people joined and bought Bitcoin, and the speed of adoption outweighed the natural inflation from mining - the adoption rate is actually increasing while the new coins mined is decreasing, so that results in demand outweighing supply.
